I'm All You Need - Young Gaara x Older Reader

*Reader wears glasses*

                (f/n) (l/n) sat down at her on a stool inside of a wooden candy shop. She was behind a counter twiddling her thumbs and waiting for a customer. Assortments of colorful candy sat in their individual containers, and large stuffed animals sat around the room. It was a child-friendly store, but it wasn't very big.

One of the glass doors opened, which made the bell that hung over the door produce a chiming sound. Her (e/c) eyes immediately opened wider and her trailed over to the door! A small child with red hair, pale blue-green eyes with dark rims around them, and a brown teddy bear entered the store. Her face contorted in horror!

"GAARA!" She screeched! Her terror fled as she peaked over the counter and saw him there. "Oh my goodness! I thought the door just opened by itself." Now that I think about it, that wasn't very intelligent. "You can't scare me like that."

"I-I-I'm sorry, (f/n)-chan." The boy shook, clearly not happy that he scared the living daylights out of her.

"Come here." A small smile crossed his face as he walked over and back behind the counter. (f/n) walked over and picked him up, balancing him on her hip. "You're just.... Ugh! SO CUTE!" Roughly, but affectionately, she rubbed her cheek against his.

"Thank you, (f/n)..." He blushed and pulled his teddy bear closer. She smiled and sat him down on the stool beside hers. She reach up and into a glass bowl, picking out two suckers; (flavor) and Cream Soda. She handed the Cream Soda one to him and kept the other one for herself.

Gaara had known (f/n) for around a year now. He met her when he was four on a cloudy day...

Flashback~

Gaara sat down on his swing crying. He attempted to talk to other children, but then they ran away. No one ever bothered to talk to him except Yashamaru. It hurt him really bad. The sadness and loneliness had just continued to build up. He was overwhelmed and the tears leaked through.

"Hey, kiddo. What 'cha crying for?" Gaara looked up. A woman stood there. Her short (h/c) hair framed her face, but was in a somewhat disheveled state. A pair of black glasses sat on the bridge of her nose, but did not obscure her beautifully kind (e/c) orbs. She had a pale sea-green button-up shirt with a pair of white pants, a light yellow apron covered up her front, and a (color) pair of sandals were on her feet.

"A-aren't you scared of me?" Gaara mumbled through his sobs. "D-don't you t-think I'm a monster?"

"If you're a monster, then you're the most adorable monster I've ever seen." A bright red blush dusted his cheeks as she bent down in front of him.

"Y-you really aren't scared of me?" Gaara asked. His voice was full of hope, but he was scared of it all being a lie.

"Do I look like a liar?" The woman teased. "I'm (f/n) (l/n). Call me what you want." Her heart-warming smile was shocking. No one had ever looked at him with such kindness in their eyes.

"I'm Gaara." He flinched, getting ready for the screaming.

"Well, nice to meet you, Gaara-kun." Gaara: 'Nice to meet me'? No one is ever happy to meet me, much less see me. She held out her hand.

"N-nice to meet you too, (f/n)-chan!" He chimed as he happily took her hand and shook it.

"Here." She reach down into the pocket on the apron. When she moved her hand back, an array of suckers sat in between her fingers. "Take what you want."

"R-really?" Gaara smiled as she nodded! He carefully studied the suckers and then plucked a Cream Soda one out of the batch. He grinned again, letting her know that he was done. She returned the lollipops to her pocket.
