You and Gaara weren't really that close and always had awkward encounters, always managing to not get comfortable around each other.

One day. you were walking when you suddenly felt a cold hand on your shoulder and spin you around to face with... —Gaara. the same red-haired Shinobi that you are not too close with.

Before he grabbed your hand and started to lead you, not telling you that he was gonna be your mission teammate since he felt too awkward to say it.
