Gaara's POV

I am in shock right now. Sasuke just got off, but his presence in my mind still lingers. I think tonight is the best night of my life. I spent almost an entire night with Sasuke! He offered to let me borrow his book! And he actually touched me! I know I sound like such a fan girl, and this really isn't as big a deal as I keep making it out to be…but I don't care, because tonight I am happy and nothing can ruin it!

The bus comes to a stop near my apartment complex. I get off and start walking, hands behind my head, and looking up at the stars. The stars seem so much brighter and closer tonight. In fact everything is clearer today. Everything is perfect. I pull my cell phone out of my pocket and look at the time, 11:30. Well I've been out a while.

It only takes me about 5 minutes to get to my place. I unlock the door and go inside, no one is home. My siblings are probably staying with some friends, and who gives a fuck about my dad? I take off my hoodie, one of the sleeves is stiff with the clowns dry blood. I throw it in the washer, turn it on and go to my room to change. I slip on a white T-shirt and some track pants that have little teeth marks on one leg. I go back out into the living room to find Jerry and Nibbler. The two dogs are curled up asleep in a corner, at least they wont bother me. I flop down on the couch, the TV is still on from earlier, casting an eerie fluorescent glow in the unlit room. I flip though a few channels before coming to the conclusion that nothing good is on. Over to the DVD shelf I go, I pick out an Invader Zim and decide to watch it. Invader Zim is a cool little bizarre comedy show. I don't know many people who have even heard of it, and most of them hate the show. Maybe Sasuke likes it?

I was nervous when he walked up on me reading Lost Souls. I was so sure that he would think I was a freak. I really had no idea he liked dark books like that. I knew he liked dark stuff, a part of his alluring persona is having a dark air of mystery surrounding him. But books about gay lovers? That was a real shocker. He is surrounded by fan girls everyday, you think he would be a very happy straight guy. Maybe he is gay? I hope so, then I can be happy with him. Sasuke and I. Me and Sasuke. That has such a nice ring to it.

A small squeak comes from somewhere on the floor, then Jerry comes walking up sleeply. I pick him up and put him in my lap. Jerry yawns a contagious yawn that passes on to me. I relized how tired I am, and I grab a blanket from the floor and curl up. Sleep comes easily and almost instantly.

The stars are kind tonight, and my dreams are blessed with thoughts of you and me. Together and happy forever. Hopefully my future can be blessed in a similar way.

A/N: this chapter was short, sweet and fluffy. Gotta love the fluff. The plot is moving along nicely, but this fic is taking a while. Oh well. Next on the agenda for the fic is the beach trip and finding Gaara's grandpa. Enjoy and review my lovely's!
