4/26
Wow, it has taken a bit more time than I expected but I'm finally here again with a new update! :D
Thank you xXYour DoomXx and KaOrU HiMuRa24 for the lovely reviews and thank you all for the follows and favorites! :DDD
About this chapter...I had no idea it was so short(well, the story), just a bit more than a thousand words. I thought it was longer; far, far longer.
Something else about it...; the chapters up to here has been...uh...developments of characters of some sort. . . From here on out, things will happen fast, well, very fast (I think at least). I will probably add some stuff, so that it's not just from spot A to B, but be aware that things may happen fast, quicker than action movies...
I think that at the end of this chapter, around a week has passed in the story line.
Lol, with the warning (of sort) out-of-the-way, I'm finally ready to let you read it.
Read and Enjoy~!
"Of all the things I had expected…Gaara leaned down and kissed me."
His lips were soft as a pillow and barely grazed my own. My heart made a jump and my breathing turned erratic as I tried to understand what was happening.
Our lips parted and Gaara used the moment to step closer before meeting my lips again, and first now did I realise I was responding.
A hand found its way to his shoulder and stayed there firmly while the other made its way to his chest where it stayed fist clenched. Our forehead were slightly brushing each other and a small gasp slipped out of me as I felt something wet to my lips, and Gaara used my now open mouth to let his tongue explore the insides of it.
A low moan rumbled through his chest, and my arms were around his neck before I realised it, pressing him closer to me as he wormed his own arms around my waist, keeping me close.
The seconds passed by and I had no clue how long we had kissed before we parted due to oxygen-needs.
His forehead was on mine as we took in the most needed air, with our eyes locked to each other, never leaving.
"…"
"…"
We simply stood there, in a warm embrace, trying to understand what happened and reading the other's eyes to see if the other one knew. None of us did.
"…I…"
"…What…"
I smiled; we had talked at the same time, and Gaara made a small snort while offering one of his rare smiles back.
"I…"
He waited for me to continue, but when I didn't and just looked at him, he cleared his throat and spoke up himself.
"I should apologise…" he began, watching me intently, "but I won't meant it."
My heart skipped a beat. "N-not?"
Why was I so happy? Why did I feel so glad when he said that? Why couldn't my breathing turn to normal? Why was I so glad?
He shook his head and took a better grip of me, "Not at all…"
...
"EW! You two kissed!?"
The grandmother blinked, coming back to presence and didn't need to see to know that her grandchild's face was one of disgust. "Ew, think about all the germs!"
She laughed. A soft chuckle slipped out as she took a better grip of him, "Trust me, Hikaru, when you get older you will not think like that."
...
We spent the rest of that night in the garden, walking through the same old path and watching the same flowers with the amazing colours, but the change was that Gaara would, here and there, give me a kiss or two before we continued walking.
As I got back to the room, and after a very long French kiss, my heart was beating so fast and I was so flustered that I barely managed to sleep.
"Please tell me you did other things than just kissing, granny! Even though I want to hear this story, I just can't if it's only kissing."
The grandmother smiled, though more of sadness, and turned her head to her ring finger with the long scar, and traced it, though she couldn't see it, with her other hand, "We did do other things…not only kissing, but…"
We never said we were together, I never called him my boyfriend, and he never called me his girl. We didn't have to. We didn't hold hands in public, and we only kissed when we were sure no one was nearby, and none of us complained about it.
I was sure he loved me, or cared about me deeply, and he knew I did the same. But still…I became surprised when he said he wanted to marry me.
"He had asked me to marry him. I said yes, though told him that wasn't a good idea. He was the Kazekage and I was an heiress in a powerful clan in another country, and I knew my father never would agree to it. It didn't help that relationships between countries were bad. We talked, and figured out a solution."
...
"Hinata, are you ready?" Gaara asked, holding my hand as we both waited for the priest to come.
We were standing in a cave some miles away from Suna, at midnight, where we were to get married.
I looked up at him, nodding while offering him a smile. I knew I wanted to marry him. Never in the world had I wanted something so much as I wanted this. I had realised that I had fallen for him, and it took the first kiss between us for me to understand it.
"Koi and Aijo?"
We looked up at the voice, and nodded to the one who was going to marry us.
My heart increased beating while the 'wedding' happened, and I barely managed to repeat what 'the priest' said when we had come to that.
"I-I, Koi Itsumo, will love you, Aijo Eienda, f-forever and always, in good days and in bad days and will continue to do so until the day I die."
"I, Aijo Eienda," Gaara repeated, eyes never leaving me, "will love you, Koi Itsumo, forever and always, in good days and in bad days and will continue to do so until the day I die."
Rings were given, mine with the colour of sand, and his the colour of lavender, and when 'the priest' told us we were "now man and wife" and that Gaara could "kiss the bride" I had to stop myself for not jumping at him, remembering the random men and women behind us that Gaara had paid "to watch, and keep your mouth shut" so that we could marry.
Gaara must have seen what I nearly did, because he let out a chuckle and brushed my lips to his so long that when we parted, we were the only ones left.
"We came back to Suna after the wedding, and spent the rest of the night together." She breathed out and in, and shook her head, her hands shaking slightly, "If I had known what would happen next, I-I would never have done it…"
*...*...*...*
I did say things would happen fast, didn't I? I know what you are thinking now; What the actual (Please add wanted swearwords) did I just read? THEY GOT MARRIED!?
I FEEL THE SAME THING! I have really (I'm serious here!) no idea where the thought came from, I just had to have. . .a likely (not really, actually) sort of bond between them, and this thing was what my mind figured out. I know it is the most random, most idiotic thing you have read, a guy like Gaara and a girl like Hinata just don't figure out they are going to get married. Not when they know countries haven't good relationships, and their commitment may or not mean an alliance, and with that a possible threat to other countries!
Hinata and Gaara are smart, right? They don't do things like that, right? I KNOW THAT, but my brain still want to be a bitch and go its own way while exposing its nice middle finger to me! :P
Now, after my self-rant, let's go back to the story, neh?
Gaara and Hinata's fake names, Aijo Eienda and Koi Itsumo practically means 'love forever/eternal' and 'love always'. I'm actually not sure about Eienda, but the other words mean it at least...I had to use Google Translate afterwards to check...(smart, right?) XD
Things that may sound weird as hell now, will be explained in a chapter or two...and probably explained more in the sequel-thingie-ish Gaara story I'm going to write after this fic... Though, if you are very curious, I can try to explain things, you just have to ask! :D
Until the next time (I will try to make it up to you, I swear); Bye~!
