You and Gaara weren't that close. but you always watched Gaara from afar, in fact this habit of watching Gaara started when you visited the sand village or mostly know as Sunagakure (the Hidden Village in Sand), This is more like Childhood crush, that's what you felt towards Gaara until you both grew up as teenagers. You, who were reading a book, occasionally stole glances at Gaara who was also focused on his book, until his voice caught you by surprise,

"Don't look at me like that, I'm uncomfortable"

Gaara said to you and then he focused back on his book and was silent again as usual
