Back to his bed and another sleepless night he supposed.
But when he saw that his bed was occupied he stopped caring whether he would sleep or not.
Sakura huffed when she saw him enter and sat up on her elbows. "It's about time!" She said. "What are you doing out so late? Haven't I told you before that working too much will endanger your health? Do you listen to nothing I say?"
Gaara shook his head. "Not the words." He said, grinning a little. "I just like the sound of your voice." He moved across the room to sit beside her, but she pulled him into her arms and kissed him. And somehow, everything seemed all right again. Such an inconvenient situation she had him in.
"Why didn't you come see me?" She asked. "Do you know how hard it is to sneak into the Kazekage's room? Far harder than it would be to sneak into a mere diplomat's room I'm sure."
Gaara laughed. "I thought you didn't want me around right now. To avoid suspicion, or whatever."
Sakura sighed. "I'm sorry. I suppose that was my fault. I don't really know what I want; but I know I don't want you avoiding me, and I don't want to have to sneak in here anymore. So you come see me in my room ok?"
Gaara nodded. "Deal."
Sakura smiled and pulled Gaara down into a horizontal position. "I was talking with Misa and Aki this morning." She said, and pinched his cheek. "You're quite the ladies' man aren't you?"
Gaara shrugged. "I don't really know." He answered honestly.
Sakura laughed. That was it, that was what he had been waiting for.
"I want to see you laugh more." He told her. "I like when you're smiling."
"You too." Sakura replied. "I like when you smile." She pulled his lips into a smile with her fingers and laughed. And Gaara, though he felt ridiculous, realized he didn't mind one bit, as long as she was smiling.
