After the dance ended, I was hurried away to dance with other boys, all who paled in comparison to Gaara, no one was him. After the last dance, Gaara pulled my by the arm and up the stairs. I trailed behind him tripping occasionally, only to have Gaara pull me back up and we were running down the halls giggling as we head further and further up the mansion that I had ever been before. He lead me to a glass door, outside stood a magnificent roof top garden. The flowers were obviously not native to Sunagakure, only being kept alive because of the fact it was in a greenhouse. We exited into the moist warm air of the artificial climate. He lead toward the middle of the garden. Past blue roses and calla lilies and tons of others who's names I didn't know. We passed a small fountain and the trickling of water added to the serenity to the place, at the back of the garden stood a single flower. The large blossom was red with hints of magentas and crimsons in the petals.
"What kind of flower is it" I asked curiosity filling my voice.
"It is the Amaya, it was a specials found a few days ago that grows under the sand in pockets of air. The original flower was orange and we found the more water the plant has the different the color is." One thing stuck out to me in his words.
"Did ,you name it after me?" I was touched so much by the gesture.
"It seemed fitting to name a beautiful flower after a beautiful woman." In that moment all judgement left me and i reached up and kissed him. He stood still for a second taking in what was happening. Then, his arm wrapped around my waist pulling me closer and deepening the kiss. Pure bliss. That was what it is to me, Kissing Gaara was pure bliss. The world stood still and we were one. In pure bliss. I pulled away for air and his lips traveled down my neck.
"Gaara, we should stop, the party will be over soon and we need to say goodbye to everyone.
"I don't wanna," He groaned into my neck and despite his word he pulled himself off of me and looked me straight in the eye, "I love you."
I felt the heat rushing up my neck and I knew the words he said were true for me too. "I love you too." I whispered. A genuine smile broke out across his face and a blush lit up his neck and cheeks.
This time I led Gaara downstairs, occasionally asking for direction but getting most of it right. We reached the ball room just in time to wish our guests good night. After everyone left we sat in the living room on plush couches drinking a hot tea. Temari raised her eyebrow at Gaara and I sitting together on a love seat, but said nothing. We talked about the party, complimenting each other on our outfits or dancing skills. Everything was fine, until the fact was brought up that both Gaara and I were missing for party of the party. Well shit.
"Oh, we just went to check on Kazou, we wanted to make sure the poor cub was okay." Gaara lied easily and everyone shrugged it off and went back to their original conversation. I smiled gratefully and went back to sipping on my tea. At twelve o'clock we were all ushered to bed by my mother. I went straight to my room and cuddled with Kazou and told him all about the night. He wiggled up to me and his warmth pulled me into sleep.
I awoke to a rough tongue licking my cheek. I groaned and pushed the hyper lion cub off my chest, only causing him to jump back on. I sat up and he fell to my lap. I giggled at the sight of the silly kitten, or well, I called him silly kitten. I stretched and rolled to the side, jumping out of my skin when I found myself face to face with Gaara.
"What are you doing?!" I asked while shaking him awake. He looked up at me with blurred eyes and smiled.
"You were screaming in your sleep so I came to comfort you. I hope I didn't startle you." My brows furrowed.
"Screaming?"
"Yes, something about not wanting him to leave, and who ever this guy is I will beat him up for you if you need." I frowned, Gaara didn't know who I was talking about, and he would never know.
"It's nobody, don't worry about it." He shrugged, but looked like he didn't want to drop the subject.
