Hello everyone :D
The 9th drabble is here!
Ja ne,
Temari 88
- (December 9th) Vain -
Naruto and Gaara were walking side by side, hands laced together, enjoying the peaceful silence interrupted by idle chatting every now and then. Suna's streets weren't too crowded because most of the population was inside, under the shade, but these two didn't care much for the high temperature - Naruto rather preferred it better when the streets were near empty: the blond didn't like the way everyone stared at Gaara with a longing to be noticed by the Kazekage, to be talked to... people tried to worm their way into the small circle of those the red-haired held close, and failed most miserably. To think on it now, Naruto asked himself how he had come to be the only one Gaara held in so high consideration—he caught sight of the reflection of two of them on a window shop... no matter how many times they went out together, Naruto couldn't shake the feel of awe he felt. Even now, as he stared at each reflection he came by as they passed shops; at one point Gaara stopped and turned to him, eyebrow raised. "Since when are you so vain as to look at yourself every chance you get?" Naruto laughed at the question, then gathered Gaara in a hug and answered quietly, "I just noticed how hot we look together."
