Ice skating.
One of the little things Gaara liked to do just for fun.
Yes Gaara Sabaku, can do ice-skating. The first time he had ever done it was with Naruto when he was twelve. Back then he had started to get out of his dark past, trying new things, and ice-skating had been one of these.
So over the years it had become a habit and he was really good at it. Naruto of course was till the same hopeless case…
Well anyway, today was different. No, today he wouldn't, go alone with Naruto, like always, but with Naruto, Hinata and Sakura.
Gaara would never admit it, but he was thrilled. Of course he didn't show it one bit but everyone who knew him good enough, noticed the unusual mood and smiled at the red head. He really couldn't wait to hold his lover's hand and teach her the way to do it. The thought of his beloved pink haired girlfriend being all embarrassed was just too much.
They were currently in front of the stadium, waiting for the girls, and not even the goofy Naruto could annoy him now. Not that the blonde boy was trying to annoy him anyway, after all he was ,just as anxious as his long time friend, waiting for his girlfriend, Hinata Hyuuga.
Yes the idiot had finally noticed the shy girl and started dating her not long after Sakura had all but screamed at him to not be such a whimp and ask the girl out! Gaara of course had been very amused by his lover's antics.
Anyway, Sakura's car finally cam into sight and both boys straightened up. Gaara's heart jumped when Sakura got out of the car and smiled brightly at him.
"Gaara!"
She kissed him softly on the lips while hugging him. Gaara of course returned the hug snuggling into her neck.
Hinata was obviously the complete opposite of her pink haired friend and blushed deeply when Naruto hugged her hard, while shouting his love to her.
"We should get going! I can't wait to get on the ice!"
"Neither can I."
Gaara grinned and lead his lover to the entrance.
Teaching one's girlfriend how to skate, while holding her hand, or keeping her near giving her hold, warming her nose with kisses, or smiling encouragingly at her. Yes that would be so wonderful.
Too bad it looked as if Sakura didn't need any teaching. At. All.
Gaara twitched and glared at her own skates… why did she even own them? She never skated!
Brooding all by himself he didn't notice Sakura coming from behind until she bumped into him, hugging him around the chest. Gaara of course tensed until he noticed that it was her.
"Want to make a little race?"
"No."
The cold tone of her lover startled Sakura a little and she unconsciously let go of him. Gaara slipped away, glaring at a group of teenagers. Sakura sprinted after him this time clinging into his arm while trying to take a look at his brooding face.
"Something wrong?"
"No."
Again the cold tone…
Sakura raised an eyebrow but didn't show the slight feeling of hurt, when Gaara was like that to her. She really hated those moods of his.
"Uhm well I'll go race some more."
He didn't answer and just slipped forward.
"Gaara-kun!"
The red head looked up and nodded when he saw a shyly smiling Hinata, coming his way.
She sat down next to him and observed how Naruto fell once again on his face.
Sakura was currently running in circles around him laughing very hard.
"Uhm, you know Sakura has been waiting for his day since so long."
Gaara looked up, at her with raised eyebrows and a look, which clearly stated; what are you getting at?
"W-Well she had been skating since she was little and really loved doing it, but after she got into university, she didn't have any time anymore and stopped, so this is the first time she could come and enjoy herself again… but I think, most of all, she wanted to enjoy the time with you together."
Gaara needed a moment or two before he finally, fully understood what she was trying to tell him. Silently he looked back to his lover and observed how she was happily laughing while running at high speed from Naruto. She really looked so happy, her face flushed and that glint in her eyes, which he loved so much. She looked really beautiful.
Suddenly he realized just how unfair he had probably been. Of course he had really wanted to teach her but with his grumpy attitude he had in the end destroyed the chance of a very enjoyable evening. Immediately the feeling of regret came over him and his heart clenched painfully.
Wordlessly he got up nodded at Hinata and made his way on the ice.
With lightning speed he was suddenly behind Sakura scarring her and almost making her trip.
"Gaara!"
But her protest was cut short when his lips were suddenly on hers. He caressed her cheek lovingly trying to warm her up a little bit. Sakura smiled into the kiss silently accepting his mute apology, and sneaked her arms around his neck.
"Are you done sulking?"
He grinned and hugged her near. They were now slowly strolling from one end of the ice track to the other always looking at each other.
"Yes, so how about a race?"
Sakura grinned and before he could even blink she was already running ahead.
With a small smile he sped after her.
"You're so cute Hinata!!"
The raven-haired girl blushed deeply and smiled at Naruto.
Who promptly fell on his face again.
Perhaps she should ask Sakura for ice skating lessons after all…
Sorry for the late update but I'm really stressed out at the moment ^^'
I really wanted to write something with ice skating because I recently have started to do it again and it's really cool! I can only recommend it!!
