Chapter 14
As Gaara changed clothes he saw the only pictures in his room, one with his siblings and the other was with Naruto.
Gaara finished changing his clothes, and picked up the picture with Naruto. Naruto was in his normal clothes, while Gaara was in a blue robe with a white Jacket, Naruto was to the right of Gaara, with his right arm around Gaara's neck and instead of a fist he had the peace sign. His left eye was closed, he had a grin on his face as he stared at the camera, while Gaara was staring wide eye at the camera, no smile, but he had a blush on his cheeks. Gaara carefully ran his finger over the picture of Naruto "My sweet Naruto, I wish I could tell you how I truly fill, but knows not the time, you've been hurt by someone you trust, but I promise no matter if you don't feel the same way, I promise I'll tell you that I care for you and that I like you more then just friend, that I love you."
Gaara put down the picture of him with Naruto and remembered back to when he first started liking him.
~~~Flashback~~~
It was back when Gaara still couldn't stand people. His siblings and him used to not get along well, for the main fact that Gaara the youngest of the three hated them, and Kankuro hated him, while Temari didn't hate, but she didn't love him either.
Him and Kankuro fought all the time, Gaara got so bad one time, he threatened to kill Kankuro. Kankuro of course backed down and said he wished Gaara would never been born and went to his room. Gaara on the other had punched a whole through the wall in several places.
Then that day came, where he meet Naruto at school, first he didn't care about Naruto he was just someone in his class, everyone else stayed away from Gaara, but not Naruto. Naruto kept bugging him, wanting to learn more about him. There would be days were he just follow Gaara and Talk for hours without Gaara replying to a single thing he said. Then a day came that Naruto was absent, and he missed having Naruto follow him around, he missed hearing his voice. So when Naruto came back and started bugging him again, he was happy, although his face didn't show it. That's when he accepted his friendship with the blonde.

Gaara started laughing and stood up, "Oh how the days have gone by since then."
~~~Another Flashback~~~
A few months later after Gaara had accepted Naruto's friendship, he apologized to his siblings for all those years, and he began to change his way of life, thinking he was created to hate, but to find someone who didn't mind being around him. Then he started getting along more with his family, and he accepted Naruto even more, he even started hanging out with him all the time.
He had grown closer to Naruto, but it wasn't until Naruto announced him and Sasuke had he realized he had loved Naruto. He became jealous whenever Naruto would talk about Sasuke, or be around him. Then after graduation, he would still talk to Naruto on Video Chat, but without Sasuke knowing, Sasuke hated all of Naruto's friends, and he began secluding him from everyone.
Then Gaara began to notice the change in Naruto's behavior, and his eyes. They weren't as warm and innocent as they used to be, there was fear and pain in them, there wasn't love. Then the bruises showed up. He realized that Sasuke was abusing Naruto but Naruto would never say anything about it and he couldn't do anything. All he wanted to do was save his angel; he had completely fallen for Naruto.
When Gaara had missed Naruto's random outbursts, his innocent eyes, him talking, him being with him, he missed everything about Naruto, and he just wanted him by his side. He truly loved Naruto with all of his being; Naruto had saved him from himself.
~~~End of Flashback~~~
Gaara, "its my turn to help you Naruto anyway I can." Gaara then left the room and headed back to Naruto's room.
