"From what I can see," Ino said, trailing her finger down Gaara's bare chest and back, "I'll have to stay about two weeks…" she faced him, locking eyes, "maybe three." She smirked flirtatiously. Gaara's face turned red, although he didn't understand why – she was just a medic giving him a checkup, no reason to be blushing.
"Alright that's fine." He nodded, standing up, he was tall. He reached for his clothes which made Ino disappointed because she was enjoying his half naked body. There was a knock at the door. "Come in," he said, still buttoning his red shirt.
"Excuse me, Kazekage-sama," It was Matsuri, she blushed at his partially exposed chest, "I brought you coffee…Oh, Ino-san!" She bowed, "I'm sorry I didn't know you were here! I would have brought you something…"
"No worries!" Ino smiled. Gaara took the coffee, making Matsuri flush. Ino noticed how obvious this girl's crush was. One part of her wanted to help her out and the other wanted to snatch him right from under her nose. After Matsuri exited, Ino looked over at Gaara sitting at his desk and she went and took the seat in front of him. "You know…" He looked up from sipping his coffee, his eyes were steamy and radiant under the smoke from the drink, "Coffee isn't good right now, or ever really…" Gaara put the cup down and gave her a curious look, she cleared her throat and tried to be respectful, "you should be eating the healthiest possible, avoiding all sorts of caffeine and such. If you change your eating habits, you'll feel a whole lot better physically and spiritually." She blushed after that last part, but he nodded understandingly.
"I see…" He pondered, "I am not very good at those things." He frowned a little.
"I can help!" Ino offered, trying not to be too eager. He tilted his head to the side.
"I wouldn't want to trouble you any further."
"No way!" She said casually, crossing her legs together, and lifting a finger, "I'm supposed to heal you! This is definitely within my responsibilities!" She gave him a bold wink, which threw him back. He wasn't used to girls being so direct with him. "So what do you say we go grocery shopping?" She suggested, smoothing out her skirt as she stood up. He paused for a moment and thought about it. He wasn't that busy today, and she intrigued him. She was bright and interesting.
"Let's go." He responded, finally giving a smile.
Sorry for such a short chapter! I'll make it longer next time :3
