Chapter 4! So this chapter is a little smaller than the rest but I was trying to figure out whether or not to leave it on more of a cliff hanger and I decided against it. Hopefully this means the next chapter will be up sooner than this one since I know how part of it is going to be.
So someone said something about what Gaara was thinking about everything and I am debating about whether or not to add a chapter or make a second story with some of Gaara's POV. It would obviously be less chapters than this story maybe a one shot or something but it is a thought. Let me know what you guys think of that.
I sat there refusing to look Temari in the face. I think I knew what the topic of the conversation was going to be especially since Kankuro is a loud mouth. Never in my life did I think I would be this nervous being around Temari.
"So Kankuro told me something." My hands tightened around the arms of my chair. "Is it true?"
"True?" I squeaked out. "Is…. what true?" I was so nervous. I had no idea how she would react to the news. In the beginning Temari and Gaara didn't have the best relationship but they have been making up for lost time as a family. This could go many different ways and I was nervous. I barely even knew what happened so how would I respond. Would she believe me? Would she be mad? Happy? No idea. I had no idea and it scared me.
"Did you end up in bed with Gaara?" This was a mere whisper so none of the other people in the small cafe could hear us.
"Y….yes." By the end of this year I would perfectly be able to replicate most of the tables with how much I was staring at them.
"What happened?" She didn't sound angry nor did she sound happy. Her tone of voice was neutral and that worried me.
"I… don't know." I sighed. "I really don't know." Just I hope she believed me.
Temari sighed. "Gaara refuses to even talk to me about it. Every time I bring it up he just closes himself off. I'm worried." I finally raised my head to look her in the face. She really did look concern. "He has never had a relationship before let alone a physical one and… and it scares me. He refuses to speak to me and I'm worried. I just wish he would speak to me." She looked like she was about to cry. "Did something happen? Anything you can remember?"
I wasn't entirely sure how to respond to that question. "I'm not entirely sure what's true. I only remember waking up in bed with him." Closing my eyes I tried to remember anything I could. "I tried to speak to Naruto but he doesn't seem to know anything." The dreams could be the truth but I'd rather not bring them up until I know for sure.
"I just don't want him to get hurt. We are friends and Naruto cares for you. I know if I upset Naruto Gaara will never forgive me but you better not hurt him."
I knew she was serious. This was her baby brother. The one who she has done everything possible to get back into his life. "I promise I will not hurt him. That was never my intention and I am sorry that this happened."
"I know. I am just worried. This is new for all of us especially him." Tears started to fall from her eyes.
"I can talk to him. If you would like. Maybe we can um figure this out together. Okay?"
"Thank you." She used the napkin to wipe her tears away.
"I will tell you what I figure out okay?" Hopefully this would help calm her. I feel bad that this whole confusing situation is causing people pain. Just wish I knew how it started, how it could have been prevented.
Again she thanked me. We finished up the rest of our meal in silence. It gave me time to think before I headed off to see Gaara. Hopefully this meeting would hold some much needed answers. Once the meal finished I bid Temari goodbye and headed off towards Gaara's office knowing he would be there ,and hoping to finally figure out this crazy situation we found ourselves in.
