[Naruto] Sakura boy

Gaara finished processing the documents and found Sakura in a very remote alley in the village. When Gaara arrived, Sakura was still eating octopus balls very happily.

Seeing Gaara coming over, he inserted a meatball and handed it to Gaara's mouth. Gaara naturally reached over and bit off the meatball on the bamboo stick, "How did you find me? I think I left. Is the road quite far away?"

Gaara slowly swallowed the pill before speaking. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I feel like you are here and I just happened to bump into him."

"That's pretty awesome. Maybe you can work hard to become a sentient ninja?" Sakura answered smoothly. He never liked to get to the bottom of things, and it was such an insignificant matter, so he became less and less concerned about it. , at this time, the octopus balls in his hand were only left with the packaging box and the skewer.

"Do you want to come back with me to rest?" Gaara took the empty wrapping paper in Sakura's hand, took two quick steps and threw it in the trash can. He turned around to avoid Sakura's sight. He felt his face was hot, just from the sight of Sakura. Thinking about sleeping in the same room as Sakura, her heart was beating uncontrollably.

"Well..." Sakura looked up at the sky. It wasn't time to light the lights yet, but the sky had turned orange and it wasn't long before sunset. He smiled at Gaara, "Then Let’s go together. Should I still stay there for reception? If that’s the case, I’ll still know the way.”

"Sleep with me." Gaara quickly answered, facing Sakura's surprised gaze without changing his expression, he just tilted his head innocently, "Isn't it possible?"

Sakura opened her mouth to explain, but after thinking about it, since we were both men, it wasn't inconvenient, and since we hadn't seen each other for so long, it was better to just go with his wishes. Sakura smiled and shook her head, "There's nothing wrong with it."

Sakura followed Gaara back home, and it was obvious that his room was not often used. The bed was covered with a sheet, and a thin layer of dust had fallen on it, but there was no dust on the floor or other items. It was extremely clean.

"Why are you still not sleeping? Haven't you already taken out the tailed beast?" Sakura asked after waiting for Gaara to put the list in the drawer. This bed didn't look like it had been used for a long time, and she didn't know if it could last for a year. Use it once.

Gaara was stunned, and unconsciously rubbed the fingertips of his right hand a few times, but did not answer Sakura immediately, "Well... I'm used to not sleeping, and sleeping is meaningless to me now."

He is more used to working on documents at night, or sitting on the roof and watching the stars. Lying in bed alone always makes him feel lonely, and he doesn't like that feeling.

Sakura said nothing more and lay on the bed with Gaara.

This is a double bed. It can accommodate both Sakura and Gaara without feeling crowded. However, it seems a little awkward with only one quilt. Gaara moved closer to Sakura. He only had to stretch his hand forward slightly. Can touch Sakura's skin directly.

Yes, because she was running in such a hurry and didn't bring a change of clothes, Sakura was wearing nothing but her underwear.

They could hear each other's breathing. Gaara slowed down his breathing and restrained himself to adjust his breathing rate to the same rhythm as Sakura's. His breathing was lighter, but his heartbeat could not slow down. He couldn't control it at all. Restless mood.

Gaara secretly glanced at Sakura's side face. Sakura's hands were clasped together and placed flat on her lower abdomen, as if she had fallen asleep. He changed his position and minimized his movements. He put his arms under his head. , staring at Sakura's side face seriously.

Her long cherry-colored hair was thrown carelessly under her body, and her bangs were scattered on both sides of her face, revealing her smooth forehead and straight bridge of nose. Her thin lips were slightly pursed, and the color was reddish, as good-looking as if she had applied lipstick.

Then those turquoise green eyes opened and met Gaara's gaze. Gaara didn't dodge and looked at Sakura openly.

Sakura raised the corners of her lips and gave a helpless smile, "Actually, what Gaara said he likes is different from what I said he likes, right?"

Gaara's pupils dilated slightly, showing a shocked expression. He didn't expect Sakura to be aware of this matter. He thought that Sakura would never find out about it unless he exposed it.

Just by looking at Gaara's expression, you could tell what he was thinking. Sakura sighed, sat up from the bed, and slid the quilt to her waist, "After all, I'm not a fool. Your gaze is too hot." ?”

"...I just couldn't help it." Gaara also sat up. The incident was exposed so suddenly that he didn't even know what to say.

Just because Sakura had never thought of this possibility before, it didn't mean that he really didn't understand anything. The friendship that he once thought of as companions had long since changed, and he was the only one who was ignorant.

Thinking of this, Sakura sighed again. Now that he understood it, this matter couldn't be fooled over like this. He slowed down his tone to make the words sound less blunt, "Let's talk?"

Gaara sat up a little straighter. In any case, Sakura's ability to recognize his feelings is still an improvement. "Okay, Sakura, what do you want to talk about?"

Sakura was silent for a moment, and she couldn't tell him why. After all, he didn't know as much about this aspect as Jiraiya, who talked about it on paper. "It's because of what I said before... that made you feel Got a misunderstanding?"

"How could it be?" Gaara smiled and shook his head, "I've been very clear from the beginning that my feelings for you are different from yours, but what does it matter? As long as you treat me as a friend, I will be happy. ”

"But I can't respond to your feelings. I can't even understand myself. This is very unfair to you." Sakura pursed her lips and knitted her eyebrows together. "It's my fault. It's brought to this point. Even so, I still can't give you the answer you want. I like you. It's just a like between friends and brothers. That's not love."

Gaara wanted to smooth Sakura's brow, but hesitated for a while but still didn't do it. If the matter was not revealed, he could naturally use his friend's identity to make Sakura feel relieved, but then again, Sakura wouldn't be here I showed this expression in front of my friends.

Sakura was confused by his words.

Gaara thought this, a sweet and bitter taste mixed in his heart.

"It was never your fault. You did it better than anyone else. If I have to say it, maybe you did it too well." Gaara patted Sakura twice on the shoulder, his eyes soft, "Too much The considerate behavior can't help but make us start to fantasize about whether I am different and whether you care about me more than others."

"...I didn't control the distance properly. I'm sorry. I should have stopped it when I noticed your feelings." Sakura covered her face with one hand and smiled bitterly. He didn't notice Gaara's use of "we". this phrase.

Gaara forcefully pulled down Sakura's hand and held Sakura's face with a serious expression. Sakura saw determination in Gaara's eyes, "Don't attribute everything to yourself, this is not a mistake at all. "

"Even if I had to do it over again, no, even if I had to do it over again countless times, I would still choose this way."

Sakura stared at Gaara blankly. He had never been in love with anyone and could not understand this kind of emotion at all. "Even if I don't respond or even understand, it doesn't matter."

"Of course." Gaara's eyes lit up when he saw Sakura's vulnerable side, and his hand left Sakura's cheek, "Just get along with her as before."

"...Huh? Hmm, um..." Sakura touched her face.

Since Gaara said so...

"Do you want to come to my succession ceremony?" Sakura's mood recovered quickly. He completely abandoned the entanglement just now, and his attitude towards Gaara remained the same as before.

Gaara was stunned, he couldn't understand Sakura's emotional transformation, "Is it the Hokage's succession?"

"Yes." Sakura sighed, "After running away for so long, it's time for me to go back. If I drag it on any longer, little Tsunade will definitely kill me."

...Tsk, I thought we could always be together.

Gaara sighed silently in his heart.

At this time, he had no idea how what he said before had deceived him. The ending that could have been a direct HE was dragged back to the starting point by those words.

Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people to just pretend that nothing happened after the other party confesses, but that is Haruno Sakura. He is good at forgetting and never nostalgia. Since it is the same as before, then he will never think about other places.
