In the whole village, everyone hated Gaara. You weren't quite sure why, he was a very sweet boy. "Here." Gaara smiled and extended his arms, the ball in his hands.

"Ahh! It's Gaara!" The children screamed and ran away from him. "Wait! Don't go!" Gaara cried out.

As the sand cleared, all Gaara could see was a girl laying in the sand with pink cheeks. Gaara gasped and looked down, his cheeks pink as well.

"H-Hi..." She stuttered, feeling intimidated by the boy who everyone feared. "O-Oh, H-Hello." He spoke, shyly.

Y/N got up and dusted herself off, "My name is Y/N." She smiled more confidently. "I-I'm G-" "You're Gaara, everyone knows your name." Y/N cut him off. "R-Really?" Gaara asked. "Yes, Gaara." The girl giggled.

Gaara felt happy that someone was finally talking to him.

"Gaara, do you want to be my friend?" Y/N asked politely. Gaara gasped, "Friends?" "Yes, friends. We can hang out and play together!" Y/N smiled.

Gaara smiled as well, feeling so overjoyed.

"Y-Yes, I want to be friends!"

"Yay! C'mon, Gaara! Let's go to my house so you can see my toys!" Y/N shouted, grabbing his hand and running into the village.

The other children watched, confused.

Why was she talking to the freak?

"Gaara! Gaara!" Y/N sang as she ran up to the boy who was sitting in the sand. "Hello, Y/N." He greeted her sadly. "Gaara? What's the matter?" The girl asked. "Y/N, why are you friends with me? I am nothing but an ugly freak, and I only make you look bad." Gaara explained, tears falling into his lap.

Y/N gasped and quickly hugged her bestfriend.

"Gaara! You're the most incredible person in this whole village! Why would I want to be friends with anyone else? Stop calling yourself a freak, when you're so much more than that. You're amazing and I'm so lucky to call you my bestfriend." Y/N smiled happily.

Gaara began to blush at her kind words.

"Now wipe those tears and let's go play. I don't want to hear you talking about that stuff anymore!" Y/N announced, getting up from the sand and pulling the red haired boy up with her.

"Wow, Gaara. You look great." Y/N told him as he adjusted his formal attire. "Thanks." He smiled lightly. Today was the day that Gaara would become Kazekage. "I'm so proud of you Gaara, I knew you could do it." Y/N smiled happily.

Gaara stared at the girl, she was his entire world. Ever since they were kids, she's always supported him and was kind to him when no one else was.

Unable to come to terms with his feelings, Gaara simply smiled. "Thank you for always believing in me, Y/N." He spoke.

"No problem, Gaara." She smiled, placing her hand on his cheek.

Looking at the ground, Gaara's cheeks turned pink. After all these years, she still had the same effect on him.

Building up the courage, he bit his lip before speaking again.

"I love you, Y/N." Gaara blurted out quickly.

Y/N looked at him with wide eyes.

"What did you say?" She asked, pulling away her hand. "What did you just say?" She repeated, shocked by what she just heard.

Taking a deep breath, he tried it again.

"I said, I love you, Y/N." Gaara said, slower, this time.

It took her a few moments to say anything, which made Gaara nervous. What if she didn't feel the same way? The anticipation was killing him.

"I love you too, Gaara." Y/N finally responded, with a slight giggle.
