From Create Your Own Story
You are once again in the Kazekage office building...you practically live there what with all the time you spend following the Kage...right now, you're doing some simple paper work for Gaara commenting on something every now and then in a mostly one-sided conversation.
"Done!" You exclaim proudly.
"There's more over there..." Gaara remarks.
You sigh.
"...You don't have to stay here all the time..."
"But I want to...do you want me to leave?" You say in alarm.
"...You clearly despise doing paperwork...so why bother doing it when you have no obligation to..."
You stare at him.
"Is something wrong?"
"No. You just don't usually talk so much when I'm around...and in answer to your question...I do it because I want to."
"Why?"
"Because it means I can spend time with you."
"Why?"
"Because. We're friends now right?" You smile cheerfully.
"...Really?" It's hard to read Gaara's expression...then again, when has it ever been easy?
"Sure...want to hang out when you're done with all your Kazekage stuff?" You had long dropped the formalities...
"...Hang out?"
"Well...spend time together...outside of the office? Do something fun?"
Gaara stays quiet for so long you're sure he's declined the offer when...
"Very well..."
Later
You're walking through the Sand Village with Gaara by your side, you're chattering excitedly while he just listens quietly.
"Is this...fun?" He interrupts you at one point.
"Well...not so much...but...hmm...what to do, what to do...sand village...what to-I've got it!" You exclaim.
"...You have?"
"Let's build sandcastles!"
A little while later
You are working on the biggest sand castle ever...admittedly it's a little difficult without any water...but that's where Gaara helps you out.
You giggle, "I used to build sand castles all the time when I was a kid...I wish you could have been there to help me out...we could have built the most awesome sand castles together..."
"You really think so?"
"Absolutely!" You grin and manage to coax a small smile out of him.
After that day...you make this 'hanging out' a more frequent occurrence.
His brother and sister notice it too...
And one day at the office you are surprised to find yourself pulled aside by Temari.
"Temari? What is it?"
"Kimiko...I've noticed...you like spending time with my little brother..."
"...Yeah? What about it?" You ask hesitantly.
"What are your intentions?"
"Excuse me?"
"What are your intentions towards my brother...because I warn you...if you hurt him..."
You gulp, "I swear we just talk and build sand castles together and-"
"You're building sand castles together?"
"...yes?"
Temari stares at you for a little while.
"Is something wrong?"
"No it's just..." She trails off.
"What?"
"Well...it's kinda cute..." She admits. "And that's all you do?"
You nod.
"Oh, well...never mind then." She walks away.
"Phew..." You exhale in relief...Temari sure could be scary.
Later
"Hey, Gaara could you give this one a sort of spirally tower thing? Yeah, just like that, that's perfect!" You clap your hands together in delight as you see the castle take shape before you.
You shiver slightly...deserts sure get cold at night.
"What's wrong?" Gaara asks.
"It's just that it's getting a little chilly...maybe we should call it a day?"
Gaara seems to look a little disappointed.
"It's okay, we can build more sand castles tomorrow."
"...The sand castles aren't the point."
"They're not?"
"...I like...'hanging out'...with you." The Kazekage explains calmly.
You smile, "I like hanging out with you too..." You hesitate a little but slowly reach out your hand to hold his...his expression doesn't change, his hand does twitch slightly...but he doesn't let go either.
"Let's go somewhere a little warmer though..." You suggest and Gaara nods.
What'll happen next?
