Gaara was at a complete loss.
He was currently searching for valentine present for his girlfriend but was failing miserably. The shops he had previously been had only those pink or red fluffy things or tons of chocolate.
Gaara shuddered only thinking about it.
However now he was sitting in the park frustrated and without present. He wanted to buy something for Sakura, something she had never had before. However he couldn't afford to spend too much money seeing how their dojo was still in the opening phase and so Gaara's pay was not extremely high.
He sighed and stood up sticking his hands in his pocket and continued on his shopping run with his typical brooding look. He was slowly losing his patience with, too many fluffy and sweet things.
Nothing.
The damn day was almost over and he still had nothing. Damn.
Now, he was standing in front of the door to his apartment and he could tell that Sakura was already home. He scowled when he thought at his senseless search through the stores, every time he had entered one of those all the people had given him surprised looks and he had to fight the urge and throttle them.
Really, only because he didn't look like it didn't mean he couldn't enter stores filled with stuffed animals red chocolate boxes and such. He just didn't do it too often only one time per the year and he was more than contend that way.
Still he had done that all for nothing. Damn he just should have bought one of those stupid little plushies.
Sighing he opened the door and silently went after he made sure she couldn't see him. When he moved into the kitchen he was relieved to hear water running. Good she was in the shower.
He looked around searching for something he could perhaps use, but it was useless.
He groaned and let himself fall on the couch. The only thing now was wait and-
His phone ringed and Gaara frantically searched his pocket trying to find the damn thing. When he finally found it he waited a second to see if she had heard him.
Apparently she hadn't.
"Yes?" He bit into the phone.
"Hey Gaara-"
"Not so loud you idiot!"
It was of curse none other than Naruto. He didn't need the idiot now!
"Ah sorry, but I wanted to call to ask how you search was going?"
"Bad. I'm at home and I have nothing."
"Really? What did Sakura-chan say?"
"She doesn't know, she's under the shower."
Suddenly it was silent and Gaara wondered if the line went dead. Naruto was never silent it.
Before he could check however his old friend spoke again this time with a hint of mischief in is voice.
"Why don't you make a present yourself?"
Gaara frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"Aah common Gaara use your imagination!"
"I don't-"
"Well I gotta go!"
This time the line really went dead and he frowned. This was weird normally Naruto would never let him off this easily. He thought about his words. He didn't think he could do anything for her. She had already eaten seeing hoe there were dirty dishes in he sink, so he couldn't prepare anything, she was already showering so he couldn't prepare her a nice bath in the bathtub filled with those bubbles she loved so much after work and he surely did not tinker her some handmade card or whatever!
Suddenly an idea struck his mind and slowly a smirk formed on his lips.
Sakura was worried. Gaara had been absent for the entire day and he still wasn't home. She had called him several times but he never answered.
Of course she knew what day it was and she also knew that her lover wanted to give her something. She didn't mind and appreciated the gesture because she knew he was a little short on money, even if his proud would never allow it to show, and he hated to go into those stores, which where filled with cute teddy bears and sweet things on valentines day. Still that he hadn't come back was slowly getting to her.
Perhaps he had gotten into a fight, he always said he hated the way they looked at him when he was in such a store.
She wrapped a towel around herself and dried her hair before she exited the bathroom.
She took a quick look into the kitchen and living room but didn't found him there. Really what was keeping him so long?
All her worries flew out the window when she entered the bedroom.
There was he, lying on the bed smirking at her and with a couple of roses in his hand.
And naked as the day he was born.
Sakura blushed slightly at the sexy smirk he was giving her.
"I couldn't find you something good so I thought I give you something… handmade."
Sakura grinned and slowly stalked over to him straddling his hips and giving him a quick kiss.
"I prefer that over anything any store could offer."
Gaara smirked. Good that he hadn't bought her one of those stupid little plushies.
