Gaara x reader

chapter 9

as you are in the bathroom you think to yourself.

'why did I overreact... I dont normally do that... I usually shrug these kinds of things off.' you stand in front of the mirror wondering how Gaara took all of this. hopefully, he doesn't think im weird! you think to yourself. you cool down some more and decide to get out. naruto sees you and jumps over the couch then bows down to the ground.

(y/n): eh?

naruto: IM SORRY FOR PICKING ON YOUUUUUUU!!! I DIDNT MEAN IT I EXPLAINED TO GAARA IT WAS A JOKE! HE DOESNT FIND YOU INTERESTING IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM!

sasuke nearly gets up to slap him but all he does is open his eyes wide and leave his mouth agape. gaara is shaken up by all of this. (y/n) sweat drops. obviously, he is overreacting naruto is a dumbass at apologizing. 

(y/n): *sigh its fine naruto i calmed down. you smile a light-hearted smile. sasuke nearly loses his shit at your response. gaara is shocked and opens his eyes wider. 

not even a minute later Itachi comes through the front door seeing naruto on the floor. 

itachi: im not even going to ask what is all of this about. he smiles and laughs. 

(y/n): 'good god itachi was always a handsome man holy shit' you think to yourself.

itachi: were you all waiting for me? Sasuke responds.

sasuke: yea we wanted to make sure someone was here at all times, that's the rule mom gave us unless I was at school the same time you were at work.

itachi: well that's fine where each of you about to head out then? you all seem a tad bit spiffy. he smiles. 

sasuke: yeah, we are gonna head out. ima take my car you needn't worry. Itachi smiles once more at his little brother and says goodbye before going to his room. as each of you head to the garage and see Sasuke's car naruto calls shotgun. 

sasuke: you dont need to be so immature naruto. you then realize you have to sit in the back with gaara. god, your heart can't take anymore. before you get in sasuke whispers in your ear.

sasuke: if you feel uncomfortable you dont need to sit in the back ill move naruto back there.

(y/n): it's okay I dont mind. you respond. as you get in the car you are greeted with a strong scent of cologne. it was gaaras. you never realized how nice he smelled. as Sasuke drove to the mall the whole time you looked out the window without ever looking at anyone else in the car. 

[gaara pov]

we got into the car and i didn't realize a scent that smelled sweet. i traced it back to (y/n). she smelled like a pastry. im not sure if she knows how much i love sweets but it's understandable if she doesn't know. i notice she doesn't let her sight stray from the window. i wonder if she's embarrassed about what naruto said earlier. maybe she actually does have feelings for me. i was skeptical earlier but... no, its too early to make connections. i look through my phone and am greeted with a picture of matsuri on my lock screen.i decide to change it to something nicer. something that will never break my heart. i decide to put mochi as my wallpaper. food doesn't hurt my feelings i suppose. i never would have imagined being so pathetic about this. 

Sasuke pulls in to a large parking lot and drives higher up to find a spot. (one of those layered parking lots)

Sasuke: we're here. naruto jumps out and stretches. (y/n) is still looking out the window? i lightly tap her shoulder. she jitters and stretches her arms out and lets a yawn escape her mouth.
