Act Your Age
Gaara sighs as he pushes away the reports on his desk. They're tedious. They're boring. They need to be read and unfortunately as Kazekage, that job falls to him.
"You still here?" Matsuri walks into his office carrying a pile of books. "Have you left this office in the last twenty four hours?" She holds up a hand before he can respond. "The toilet doesn't count."
"Then no."
Matsuri sighs as she walks over to the window and pulls the curtains, shutting off the cool night breeze that was blowing through. "Have you listened to anything Temari said before she left?"
"I had vegetables for lunch."
Matsuri spins around and glares at the red head. "This is not funny!" She hisses. "You and I both know that Temari said what she said because last time she left you didn't eat for two days because you 'forgot'. If that happens again, she'll kill me!"
Gaara rolls his eyes. "I am perfectly capable of looking after myself."
"When was the last time you slept?"
"Three days ago."
"Last thing you ate?"
"I told you, I had vegetables for lunch."
"Last time you left the tower?"
"Same as last time I slept."
"And you call that looking after yourself?" Matsuri is standing in front of his desk now, hands firmly planted on her hips.
Gaara sighs. "Temari sent you a message, didn't she?"
"Yup."
"What did it say?"
"Check on Gaara. Make him act his age for a change."
"That all?"
"I'm paraphrasing." Matsuri smiles. "She said to get you drunk."
"Really?"
"Yup."
"Know any good bars?" Gaara stands up and grabs his coat from the hook it has hung from for the past three days. "If its a direct order from Temari, we better follow it. And I think I'm at that stage where most people would say 'I need a drink'."
Long again, Damnit. OMG this one wasn't about food! Well kinda not about food. I need to find new inspiration. Prompts please?
Oh and Gaara's only like this because I think he acts way to old (Even for a ninja) and I can see him getting incredibly focused on his work.
