A/N: Due to popular demand, I've decided to make a second chapter of this story with Gaara's POV. And this is a songfic chapter as well - the song is "Blessed" by Christina Aguilera. (Splee, she's my favorite singer! Great Gaara song too!)
DISCLAIMER: Don't own it, nope.
oOo
When I think, how life used to be, always walking in the shadows. Then I look at what you've given me, I feel like dancing on my tiptoes. (A/N: LOL Gaara!)
Gaara lay in his bed, staring up at the celing with a blank expression on his face. He couldn't get his mind off him; of Naruto Uzumaki. His image was burned clearly in his mind, of feather soft blonde hair, perfectly tanned skin from the Konoha sun, and sky blue eyes, almost always shining with a happy glow. The more Gaara thought about it, the more the hole in his heart grew to accomidate the loneliness.
I must say...everyday I wake and realize you're by my side. I know I'm truly...
He had always liked him. The graceful way he moved, his pranks and sense of humor. And the sameness to them. They were both social outcasts, but Naruto's light mood had encouraged him. They were both demons, but where Gaara dealed with it with anger, Naruto drew attention to himself through misbehavior.
Blessed, for everything you've given me. Blessed, for all the tenderness you show. Do my best, with every breath that's in me. Blessed, to make sure you never go!
"I miss you so much, Naru-kun." Gaara smiled as the nickname he had given him passed his lips. He could almost hear Naruto's response: "I miss you too, Gaara-kun. Why don't you come back to Konoha?" Gaara sighed. "I can't, Naru-kun. I'm busy now. I'm the Kazekage." Naruto's voice seemed a little crestfallen in his mind. "Come back anyway, Gaara. Like you said, you're the Kazekage. You can give yourself a break, right?" Gaara laughed, this was the stupid kind of thing Naruto would say.
There are times that test your faith till you think you might surrender. Baby I'm, I'm not ashamed to say that my hopes were growing slender.
"I love you, Naru-kun. I know this is all my fault, my stupid career. I know how unhappy you must be...but I'm upset too."
You walked by in the nick of time, looking like an answered prayer. You know I'm truly...
"Who do you love? It's that Naruto from the Leaf Village, eh, Gaara?" A feminine voice innerupted his daydreams, and Gaara sat up with a defiant glare. Temari stood at the doorway to his room, a sympathetic smile on her face. "You know, you can go back to Konoha any time you choose. You're working yourself too hard." Temari walked into the room, giving Gaara a gentle kiss on the forehead. "Besides, Kankurou and I go places all the time. We could manage here alone for, say, a week." She winked at Gaara.
Blessed, for everything you've given me. Blessed, for all the tenderness you show. Do my best, with every breath that's in me. Blessed, to make sure you never go!
"Seriously?" Gaara exclaimed, and Temari nodded. "You are the best frigging sister in the whole entire world. I love you!" He hugged her tightly. "I better call Naru-kun and let him know I'm coming!" He dialed the farmiliar number. He tried to call Naruto at least once a week, but now he would have good news.
Blessed, with love and understanding. Blessed, when I hear you call my name. Do my best, with faith that's neverending. Blessed, to make sure you feel the same.
"Naru-kun! I'm coming back to Konoha next week!" Gaara exclaimed, barely giving his boyfriend a chance to say hello.
"Gaara? Seriously? I mean, you mean it?" Naruto sounded just as shocked as Gaara had expected, and the redhead laughed.
"Yes! I can't believe it either!"
"I love you, Gaara-kun..."
"I love you too, Naru-kun."
Temari still stood in the room, and when she heard these words pass Gaara's lips for the third time that day, she grinned.
Deep inside of me, you fill me with your gentle touch. I know I'm truly blessed, for everything you've given me. Blessed, for all the tenderness you show. Do my best, with every breath that's in me. Blessed, to
See.
You.
Never.
Go!
oOo
I hope you liked that as much as I did. I knew Temari was a good sister inside, not just some mindless puppet manipulated by Gaara's hatred. If anyone has any ideas to write any more, tell me in a review.
