- (December 15th) Hope -

Gaara didn't do hoping: it was a far too dangerous as enotion. It all started with being expectant for it meant to look forward to something, looking forward to something meant to hope for it to happen, in turn hoping caused a heady feeling that made you feel lighter, when the feeling of floating vanishes suddely you would find yourself crashing down violently on the ground. Disappointment and sadness, that was what hoping meant. He stopped that nonsense long ago - the night Yashamaru revealed everything - and he had come to the conclusion he would never let himself get carried away that way again. —A mantra of 'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!' rings in Gaara's head as he waits for Naruto to say something, he can feel the heady sensation taking hold of his insides and he does his best to refrain from shaking the other's shoulders to get a reaction faster... his heart beats furiously and his breathing is quicker than normal... he scolds himself for letting hope take over. He watches as Naruto's fingers trace the egdes of the glass sculpture - a spiral with the 'ai' kanji in the middle - and when the blond opens his mouth ("It's beautiful." he says), Gaara almost lets his legs give away under him, almost. He smiles at Naruto, heady feeling still present and he thinks maybe it will remain, as long as Naruto is there.
