[Modern!GaaraxFEM!Reader] Everyone's beautiful when they smile.

Chapter Eighteen

Reader-Chan POV

The door was pushed open, revealing a worried Niekku. "[Y/N]! You look terrible. What are you doing up? You should be resting in bed."

"Sorry, Mom was called into work so Gaara came to take care of me."

"I could've done that too. My mom heard you were sick so she made some soup. It's still hot if you'd like to eat it now."

"She already has soup." Gaara closed the front door and stepped into the kitchen.

"Is that so? Well, you can just heat it up when you're ready to eat it 'kay [Y/N]-Chan?" Niekku placed the plastic container on the counter and leaned against it facing Gaara and I, "My plans today got cancelled. I've cleared through all my video games and will have to wait for a new one. I have nothing else to do today so why not stay 'til your mum gets back? Even if it is a one person job, I'd still like to help in some way. I mean, we are friends after all."

"Y-yeah, that's okay with me." I am okay with this. Friends take care of each other so it's fine.

Niekku smirked. To Gaara, "What about you? Is it alright if I help out?"

Gaara was expressionless, "If it's okay with [Y/N] it's okay with me."

The green haired boy pouted. "Sorry Gaara. I'm practically stealing your job, as [Y/N]'s boyfriend."

"It's fine."

"Good! C'mon [Y/N], lets watch some TV." Niekku grabbed my hand and started leading me to the couch.

"No, [Y/N] needs to rest." Gaara grabbed my other hand, making Niekku stop.

"But I've been in bed pretty much all day. And I'm not tired." I looked up at Gaara with a pleading look.

"'Ya see. She's not tired. At least let her watch some TV. You can watch it with us! How 'bout that?"

Niekku didn't wait for a reply as he continued to pull me to the couch. Gaara didn't let go of my hand either. He sat with us on the couch without any other objections.

~TimeSkip~

We ended up watching [Fav./Show]. Niekku insisted choose since I'm the one whose sick.

Niekku's phone buzzed. He looked at the message and sighed. "Sorry guys. I have to get ready for my sister's concert."

"Concert?"

"Yeah. She plays violin. You should see her some time. She's pretty good at it." He walked to the door and put his coat and boots on. "Well, I'll see you two later. Try and get better, [Y/N]."

Gaara sighed once Niekku left. He laid on his back and put his head in my lap and looked up at me.

"What?" I asked after he kept his gaze on me.

"Nothing."

He kept staring at me. I could feel his gaze as I watched TV. My cheeks flushed. I played in his hair to distract myself.

"[Y/N]?"

"Yeah?"

"... I'm glad you agreed to be my girlfriend. I didn't think you would when I asked."

"Why wouldn't I agree?"

"...I don't know..."

I looked down at him. His eyes were closed and his chest rose and fell at a slow pace. I smiled and brushed the hair out of his eyes. He looked peaceful.

A/N: Not much of an ending huh? I wanted to get this out now cuz I may not have time to get it done this week. Also, I wanted to ask how you guys get your inspiration on anything. It may help get my stories going but I have no idea how to get inspired. Drop you ideas in the comments so I can read them plz.
