Chapter twenty two: Birthday surprise part one

When it came to be Sarina's birthday on the tenth Kankuro and Temari had Gaara take her out for the day; which Gaara was all for. They spent the afternoon watching a movie she wanted to see before he took her around the mall. Gaara got a better sense of what type of things his girlfriend liked as they went through different stores. Gaara ended up finding out that his girlfriend was just as much of a goth as he was-which he was more than okay with.

He realized that they had a bit of similarities in bands that they liked; My chemical Romance, Panic! At the disco, Blood on the dance floor, Papa Roach, Bullet for my valentine, Avenge Sevenfold, Korn and Fall out Boy. Sarina realized part way through her looking through things that Gaara was just smiling at her as he had his hands in his pockets.

"Gaara?"

"Hm?"

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, I just realized just how much the two of us have in common."

"Is it a bad thing that we do Gaara?" Sarina asked confused

Gaara shook his head as he looked to her. "No-not at all. It just means that there's things that we can talk about when we're around one another that's all."

Sarina's eyes lit up she liked the idea of being able to talk to Gaara about things especially about things that they had in common. "That's good!"

"Mhm, Is there anything that stands out to you Sarina?" Gaara asked curiously

She thought for a moment before she picked out a bracelet and necklace combo that was from nightmare before Christmas. "This."

"Do you know the movie Sarina?" He asked curiously

"Mhm, before things became how they had to me I would watch that movie a lot." She said happily "I love the songs they are so catchy."

"I will agree with you on that-even though I could deal without seeing oogie boogie turning from a bag of bugs to nothing." Gaara said shivering in disgust as he spoke.

She laughed and smiled at him. "A certain red head doesn't like bugs does he?" Sarina teased

"No-No I don't." Gaara said shaking his head

"Alright I'll keep that in mind." Sarina said before she went to place what she pointed out back only for Gaara to take it from her.

She blinked her eyes a few times only to see that he bought it as well as two different sets of bracelets for her other arm. One was for My Chemical Romance and the other was for Panic! At the disco. When he paid for them he then gave them to Sarina who's eyes lit up as she looked up at him. "G-Gaara...T-Thank you."

"Did you want help with the necklace Sarina?" Gaara asked curiously

She nodded her head. "Please?"

The two of them stopped walking and he took it out of the packaging before he placed it on her as he had her lift her hair up so he didn't tug on her hair in the process. She then looked to him and he smiled at her. "It looks good on you Rina."

"Thank you." She said before she hugged him tightly

He wrapped his arms around her body gently before he made her look up at him and kissed her on the lips. "I love you Sarina." He said sincerely to her

She smiled up at him as she blushed a bit. "I love you too Gaara." She said happily

Half way through going throughout the mall Gaara got a call from Kankuro letting him know that he was waiting out front for the two of them. So Gaara had Sarina go with him just so they could go home. Sarina didn't mind going home as she had her hand laced with his and had her head leaned up against his arm. When they saw Kankuro they both waved at him before Gaara opened the door to the back seat where the two of them went in.

Temari then drove them home and Kankuro got out first quickly as Temari and Gaara got Sarina out as Temari tied a blindfold over her eyes. It freaked Sarina out but she soon felt Gaara's hands laced with hers. "It's okay-you're okay. Nothing bad will happen Sarina."

"O..okay Gaara." She said scared
