The night seemed to go by slowly. Everyone talked and got along with one another and even Naruto and Sasuke got along. Temari and I talked most of the night. I still couldn't get over Gaara's red face, thinking about it made me giggle a little. "Still thinking about Gaara?" Temari asked, smirking."W-What oh uh no.," I said laughing nervously.
"It's obvious that you where Y/N," Tamari laughed a little. "I'm glad that you and my brother have become such great friends, after all, that's happened in his life he really needs people like you in his life. Plus I think he's taken a liking to you as well." Temari looked over at Gaara who was talking to Ino and Naruto.
"I guess so and I'm glad I could be there for him. I do admit that I..well I do care about him a lot..."
"Well if you ever wanted to confess that to him then maybe I could help you?" Temari smirked. I didn't like how this plan of hers was going but it's better than nothing. "I need you to go out on the balcony and then I'll tell Gaara to go and check on you, that way you can tell him!" This plan could go two ways, I could either chicken out or it could actually work. This was a good plan considering I did need some fresh air anyway.
"Ok, sure this should work out," I said, standing up from where we were sitting and walking onto the balcony, closing the door behind me. After a few moments of looking out at the village, I decided to look at the stars. Each one is so close to earth but yet so far at the same time. As I was gazing at the stars I didn't even realize that someone was standing next to me. The person put their hand on my shoulder and I jumped out of my thoughts in fear.
"Calm down Y/N it's only me," I looked up to see a familiar red spikey hair boy.
"O-Oh sorry Gaara you just scared me a bit heh.." I said, laughing at myself a bit.
"It's ok and I'm sorry for scaring you, but I couldn't help but notice that you came out here and I wanted to know if you were ok." He looked down at me, a concerned expression crossed his face and he placed his hand on my forehead. "You don't seem to have a fever so what seems to be troubling you?" He removed his hand from my forehead and looked at me, waiting for an answer.
My face was red but I knew I couldn't chicken out yet. "Well I just needed some fresh air, it was getting a bit crowded in there...b-but I did want to tell you something."
"Hm? Ok well you know you can tell me anything Y/N so what is it?" He said, tilting his head little, his hair uncovering the writing on his forehead.
"Well, I just wanted to say that...I um...." I took a deep breath then I let out what I had to say to him. "I wanted to say that I care about you Gaara...a lot....and I want to be there for you as much as possible I understand that it's hard to be there for you since you live in another village but I want to try my best..I understand that you can take care of yourself and that you don't need me but I just wanted you to know that I care." I looked him in the eyes and I saw so many emotions, I saw joy, love, sadness, and a bit of hope. After a moment of thinking, he opened his arms. I let myself fall into them with a sigh of relief.
"Y/N I'm glad that you care about me..and don't ever say that I don't need you because I will always need you... no matter what and I understand that it will be hard to communicate because of the village difference but I will make time to come and see you and so will Temari..we both care greatly about you..So, thank you Y/N.." He held me close for what seemed like forever. I could feel his warmth and it made me feel happy to be in his arms..
"Hey, Gaara?" I asked, looking up at him.
"Yes Y/N?" He said, looking down at me.
"What does the writing on your forehead mean?"
"Well, it means love Y/N..I realized nobody loved me so I used my sand and tattooed it onto my forehead.." He seemed a bit sad to be admitting this.
"Well, what if someone did love you?" I asked, my face getting hotter.
"Then that would be a special day for me Y/N, why do you ask? Do you know someone who loves me?" He smiled playfully and ruffled my hair.
"Actually I do."
"And who's that?"
"Well Temari and kankuro and well me!" I smiled. Gaara seemed to not have words. He blushed slightly then lifted me up, twirling me once before putting me down. He seemed overjoyed and after a moment of smiling he shouted: "Y/N loves me!"
"H-Hey Gaara I didn't know everyone needed to know." I rubbed the back of my neck a bit embarrassed.
"Well Y/N guess what.." He placed a hand on my cheek and looked me in the eyes.
"W-What?" I said, looking very confused.
"I love you too." Then he kissed me. My eyes widened but after a moment I just went along with it. This party didn't seem that bad after all. When he finally broke the kiss both of our faces where red.
"At least no one saw what happened heh.." I said laughing nervously.
"Don't be too sure about that!" I heard a voice say from the door, it was Temari and everyone else was crowded around the door. Gaara and I froze and just looked at everyone smiling and staring at us.
"Sorry about the audience but I just couldn't miss my baby brother having his first kiss with my friend Y/N!" Temari said, smiling.
"H-Hey!" Gaara said, His face was as red as his hair. "Some privacy would be nice!" He said, building a wall with sand to keep our audience from staring. We both looked at each other and laughed. This party is the best party ever I thought to myself then Gaara held me close and we both looked at the stars.

A/N: PLOT TWIST TIME!!!!! Ok, so.....please don't get mad at me for this plot twist chapter!!!! I was rewatching Naruto and looking back at the last chapter and I wanted to have more drama and character development into my book sooooo here you go! Yes, Sasuke will still like Y/N soon but right now I was thinking how about Gaara also likes Y/N?! Yes, No? Gaara is my all time favorite character and I thought 'what kind of person would I be to not add little sand boy into the story?' Of course, I might get some hate for this chapter but I just want your guys' opinions on it. Was it cute? Or should I just not go with the idea at all? Let me know in the comments please because I really want my readers to enjoy what they read so I'm not going to write something that is going to make people mad.
