The Hole in my Heart (Gaara x reader)

5. Meeting the Hokage

Gaara lay in the chair beside your bed. He was fast asleep. You paced the room wondering how  you were going to wake him. IN the end you slowly approached him and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Lord Gaara?". No reply, he shifted in his sleep. In the corner of your eye you saw something move, so you turned your head to get a better look. The yellow stuff, which you had earlier identified as sand came out of a his large gourd and wrapped around you. It brought you closer to him and before you knew it you were sitting on his lap.  He shifted once again, his arms wrapping around you in a tight hug. You blushed and struggled from his grip, but you weren't able to get free. You managed to slightly  move your self so that you were facing him, but that only made it worse because of what happened next. Gaara moved, accidentally snuggling his head into you chest.

"Aaahhhhh!".

I hadn't just awakened Gaara with my scream but the entire hospital. When he awoke he continued to hold me tightly, only letting go once he noticed the position we were in. Sakura ran into the room, several medical ninja following close behind her. After seeing that nothing important had happened they left, Sakura stayed to make sure everything was alright. Gaara now stood in front of me, his cheeks that same color as his hair, while I rubbed my sore back side, I had fallen to the ground after all.

"I-I um I'm sorry", he stuttered. I was also blushing, my hands moving from my behind to cover my violated chest. Sakura looked from me covering my chest to Gaara averting his eyes awkwardly, then both of our blushing faces. A large smile grew across her face and she started to giggle, then to laugh and then she was rolling on the floor, pounding the ground with her fist. She found it so funny that she was basically crying. I shifted uncomfortably, you didn't understand what she found so amusing.

Eventually, Gaara and I had gotten sick of her constant laughter and had gotten her to stop. She wiped a tear from her eye, turning her attention back to us.

"You guys are too cute", she giggled. My face went red again, what was this? My face had never done this before, was I sick?

After Sakura had actually calmed down she told me what I needed to do.

"(Y/n), you need to go see the Hokage", she instructed. I nodded and followed her out the door, sending an awkward wave to Gaara before we disappeared out the door.

While walking I wondered what the Hokage was like, a man or a woman? It didn't matter just as long as they accepted you. You hoped this could be your new home. Konohagakure, the village hidden in the leaves.

Gaara's POV

 I knew what I had done. I had accidentally touched her chest.

"Idiot", I muttered quietly.

I tried to slap myself but the sand shielded me from myself. The thought of (Y/n) made me want to smile, I never usually smiled, the only exception being Naruto. He always made me smile, his likable personality and stupidity made him an amazing friend and he was the one who made me change my ways. From the demon of the sand to the Kazekage.

I felt something unknown for the first time when I was with (Y/n). It was a warm feeling which was only there when she was. I used to have a pain in my heart which I had filled with friends and followers, healing it. But even after all that time... there was still a pain. A longing for something else, something to fill the still gaping void in my heart. But what?

Your POV

Sakura and I walked through town, it was such a beautiful day. A large smile spread across my face as I looked at all of the flowers in the window of one of the shops. They were so pretty, nothing in the hidden night village was pretty. It was dark and boring, nothing to do but train, follow stupid rules and kiss the ass of who ever was in charge. Basically hell.

Sakura led you through town, taking you into a large red building. You followed her up several flights of stairs and that's when you stopped. You where stood in front of a large door and watched as Sakura knocked loudly.

"Come in", a voice called from the other side. Sakura pushed open the door and lead you inside. You entered behind her, stopping by her side in the center of the large room. You heard the voice again.

"Step forward". You obliged and walked further into the room, stopping when you reached the desk at the very back. You looked up, meeting the brown eyes of a large breasted blonde woman.  Next to her stood a woman with short black hair and in her arms was a pig. It oinked at you.

"So I hear that you want to request to live in this village", she said. You nodded.

"Yes I do".

"Where are you from?".

"The village hidden in the night". A confused expression covered her face.

"Its in the land of cavern", you added. She looked at you with a worried look on her face.

"T-the land of c-caverns?", she coughed out, tripping over her words. You nodded again giving her a trusting look. She sat there for a few minutes, thinking, before continuing the questions.

"And why have you left your village?", she asked. You let out a quiet sigh, playing with the material of your coat.

"To find my family". She once again stopped, then she looked you up and down. You reached into your kunai pouch and pulled out the photo of your family. It made you smile just looking at it. You placed it on her desk, she picked it up and examined it. Then her eyes widened and her mouth fell open.

"And what is your name?". You smiled at her.

"It's (Y/n), (Y/n) Uzumaki".
