A/N: Caution; this was totally impromptu and I just went along with whatever my hands were typing. Be gentle when giving criticism. haha
A little experiment:
He looked at the white ceilings, white bed, and the pink-haired medic standing in the middle of it.
That was when Gaara No Sabaku wondered why in the hell was he in this hospital room.
"Ah, Kazekage-sama," Sakura Haruno started.
"Please Sakura, just Gaara is fine." He and the Konoha kunoichi had spent a good deal of time together ever since the Akatsuki kidnapping.
"ah, yes, yes. " Was her reply obviously to make him shut up.
"Well Sakura, why am I here again?" Gaara asked spectacle.
"ah, Yeah. I just wanted to see some things, you know, because Shukaku had been extracted from you so now it should be possible for you to sleep. Supposedly." The last part didn't sound so confident to Gaara.
"ahhh," He lowered his gaze to hers, "so in other words; you want to experiment on me Sakura-chan?" He smirked as she gave him a slight glare.
"Precisely, Gaara-kun." She smirked as his lips shown a slight frown of disapproval.
"hmph, well said thing is not so easy miss medic-nin. I haven't slept for over 15 years, how do you intend to get me to do such I task I have no idea of how to initiate." If not for the fact that Gaara was talking to one of the smartest kunoichis in the country, none of those words would've been comprehended.
"THAT, my dear Kazekage-sama," Sakura smiled. "Is exactly why it is called an experiment." Her reply, once again, left a frown on the Sand ninja's face.
--
"Test number one;" Sakura said out loud as she wrote the same words on a clipboard. "subject asked to consume warm milk." Gaara gave Sakura an are-you-serious-look.
"Hey, this used to work on me." She replied.
"No, I don't drink milk." Gaara replied.
"Test one Failure;" she said in a loud voice. "Maybe THAT, Gaara-kun, is why you are shorter than most boys your age." She laughed as he glared at her.
--
"Test number two; subject will go through various activities that will lower his stamina." Sakura said professionally, but her face held slight amusement.
"activites?" Gaara repeated not liking this test.
:moments later:
"C'mon! is THIS the limit of the great leader of the sand village?! Lift those legs! Up! Up!" Sakura's voice echoed through the field through the megaphone.
Gaara was currently running on this hugemongous track until he 'feels the burn', like the kunoichi had said. Gaara was currently tired, really hot, and really irritated; if not for his fondness of the said girl he would have let loose some sand slashings. After taking too much of this physical activity, Gaara commanded his sand to just carry him around the track when he heard loud and clear;
"Failure!"
--
Lots of moments Later;
"Test number 32; Failure." Sakura checked off on the clipboard she had as Gaara was sprawled out on the medical bed dead tired and beat up, but to his annoyance, still not sleeping.
Gaara sighed and lifted himself into sitting position. "Sakura, this is not going to work. None of your silly experiments worked. I've never had much sleeping experience, and what little I had, were nothing but nightmares."
Sakura's eyes softened at Gaara's words.
Gaara felt something tug at the back of his head and he was lain down onto Sakura's lap. His surprised look made Sakura giggle.
"Sakura, wha-"
"Shhh, this is the last experiment I will call 'Gaara's lullaby." She gently stroked Gaara's red hair and hummed softly in his ear.
Gaara was shocked but unexpectly happy. He put his hand on Sakura's and let her gentle humming make his eyes grow heavy.
"from now on, I only want you to have happy dreams."
--
" mmmn." Gaara cracked open his eyes to view the all too familiar white ceiling of the hospital room. He jolted upright.
'i- I fell asleep?!' Gaara thought in surprise.
"Good evening Gaara;" He heard the familiar voice ring through the room. "Test; Gaara's lullaby: Success." Sakura smiled.
Gaara let out a small smile towards the kunoichi, "So it seems."
"Any concerns about your first night of sleep?" Sakura asked.
"mmm, I have a question for you doctor," Gaara looked thoughtful.
"Yes?" Sakura was slightly surprised.
"What does it mean when you dream about someone? Someone very close to you, and there is a tightening feeling in your chest, but, it doesn't hurt, not in a bad way." Gaara clutched the cloth around his heart.
Sakura was surprised at Gaara's description of his dream. She blushed a little and smiled. "Sounds like to me Gaara, that you had a good dream, one particularly about someone special, that feeling in your chest is probably because you love this person."
Gaara looked thoughtful then turned his gaze to Sakura. "That sounds about right, oh, and Sakura,"
He held his gaze and smiled, "Thank you for giving me my first dream."
The End. ?
So, if you didn't get it; Gaara had dreamt of Sakura! Hahahaha. How sweet.
That didn't have much Gaasaku; but it just came to me at 3:00 in the damn morning, give me a break.
Maybe ill make the next chapter about the dream he had?
