Gaara x Reader: Protect Me

  After growing up with the monster, Gaara, you've grown accustomed to people fearing and picking on you. Only this time, your only friend has had enough. Being only 9, Gaara still allowed his feelings to get in his way, but you couldn't complain- without them you wouldn't have your best friend.

-Your P.O.V-
Hmm.. I can't find Gaara. Well, if I can't find him, I guess I could just take a walk and maybe I'll run into him! After about 20 minutes, I reach a bridge. It was a wooden one, a tan color. On one side, the one I'm on, it was dirt and sand, and in the other it was grassy with a patch of concrete and had a few training dummies for the ninjas. I begin to walk across the rickety bridge, only to be greeted by ninjas in the middle while looking at the rocks below.

"Well, well. It's the monster's friend." The tallest one greets me. He has short, plain brown hair with his headband around his upper arm. His clothes are dark green and dark grey, and his shoes were black.

"Hmph! He's not a monster!" I snap.

"Yeah? I think he is! And so are you." The shorter one poked my chest. 'Ouch..' I thought. His hair is black and his headband is on his forehead, standard. His clothes are dark brown and dark grey.

"Well, you're wrong! He's sweet and you.. You're mean!" I yell and furrow my brows. The tallest of the two gets angry and pushes me onto the railing of the briges.

"Don't you insult me or my little brother!" He speaks. I spit in his face. He grabs me by foot and lifts it above my head causing me to flip upside down. He lost his balance and flipped me over the bridge. I heard them gasp and run. My high-pitched squeal cracked through the air. I fell over the bridge's railing.

-Gaara's POV-
Where is (y/n)? I'm trying my hardest to avoid the fearful villagers. I'm starting to get worried, and I hear that firmilar voice, in a scream this time. What? It's coming from the bridge! I run as quick as I can to it to see (y/n) dangling from the bottom of the bridge with both hands. She quickly glances over at me, then focusing back on her grip to the bridge.

"Gaara? Gaara, help me!" She pleads. I immediately send some sand under (Y/n).

"(Y/n)! Jump down I'll catch you!" I yelled to them. They looked at me and fell into the sand I'd laid under them. We both sigh out in relief. Once they are on the bridge, they give me a hug.

"Thank you, Gaara. I-I could have died.

"You're.. welcome," I hesitantly hug them back. "I'll always be here to protect you, (y/n)."
