Sandman
"Stop it!" she giggled as he tickled her. "I mean it!"
The boy didn't stop what he was doing, and the girl continued to laugh. "Not until you admit that you like me," he demanded. "…and you better do it fast because pretty soon you're gonna die laughing."
She looked up at his serious face. "Nuh-uh."
Then she shrieked with laughter when he attacked her sides again. The girl rolled over and almost fell off the edge of the bed.
"Stop it!" she protested again, but the boy ignored her pleas. "Fine, fine. I'll say it!"
The boy stopped what he was doing, and looked at her, waiting for her to speak.
She beckoned him closer as if to whisper it in his ear, even though no one was around to hear them anyway. He scooted closer to her on the bed, and he felt her warm breath on his ear.
"You're an idiot," she whispered. "But I love you anyway."
In response, the boy only leaned towards her, and kissed her lips lightly. "I love you too."
Gaara adverted his eyes from the full-blown make-out scene on the television screen. He didn't think that there were any humans that would be so silly. If he was an idiot, then why did she love him? It made no sense to him, at any rate.
He sighed.
There was nothing on television except for romantic comedies, and he was sick of it. At least, maybe he could find something more sensible to do.
Five minutes later, he was knocking at his brother's door.
He waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Finally, he heard Kankuro's voice. "I'm busy! Go away!"
Gaara contemplated the consequences of going in there anyway. It honestly wasn't worth the hassle of having to force his brother to come out.
After a moment's hesitation, he started down the hall to Temari's room. Maybe she'd be willing to train with him for a bit.
Curiously, when he got close to her door, he heard voices coming from inside. In a moment of panic, he quickly burst into her room, expecting the worst, such as a spy holding her captive.
What the…
The scene that greeted him was quite different from what he had expected. His sister was curled up on the bed, her body entangled with Shikamaru's, and she was giggling hysterically.
He wondered whether he was seeing things.
And then, Temari spoke. "You're such an idiot, Shikamaru, but I love that about you."
Complete déjà vu.
Gaara was almost rendered speechless, but he managed to sputter. "You two are insane!"
Both Temari and Shikamaru whipped around to look at him.
He ran from the room.
Shikamaru turned back to Temari. "I don't think Sandman likes me very much."
"He'll get used to you, eventually. Now shut up and kiss me."
So he did.
