A/N
GaaraxIno had always been one of my favourite OTP until I realised I liked Ino better with the older guys.
I still do love them, though I don't know what direction this drabble took off in.
Apologies.
[Ino x Gaara] – Girl's Day | Darling
Her body tensed.
The bells at the front of the shop rang, meant to signify that a new customer had just walked in. Sitting in the corner of the shop, Ino's heart beat loudly, wondering if it was her date that had just arrived.
True enough, he had spotted her and took his rightful seat before her. She couldn't believe it. Here he was, the guy of her dreams.
"K-Kazekage san." Ino greeted him awkwardly.
"It's Gaara." He said in a deadpan manner. "Just Gaara."
"Gaara." She smiled, seeming a little calm. "Thank you for coming. I thought you wouldn't come."
"Why would I not?" Although his voice was monotonous, Ino could have sworn there was a little glint in his eyes. "After all, I was the one who had invited you for dinner."
"But you're also the one who had to make an extra effort to come from the Sand Village and-"
It was a little unexpected, but he placed his hands on her, as if to reassure the blonde girl.
"And I don't just come here for anyone." Gaara's eyes narrowed with affection. "Ease up, Ino. Shall we order now instead?"
And for the first time tonight, Ino really did eased up; noting that the Kazekage had been nothing but pleased at her company tonight.
