(Note: Gaara may be out of character (ooc) due to the fact am not finished with the series yet (future edits?). If this ship is not your cup of tea, leave respectfully. This is taken when he is in Genin stage, post Chunin exams-ish)

It was a beautiful sunny day in Konoha, Hidden Leaf Village. The sound of trees rustling and ninjas were heard roaming the busy village. The rock carvings of the 4 Hokages can be seen behind the village’s main area. The pre-Genins were seen practicing signs and training from Iruka Sensei in the academy while the Genin were in their academy learning and training under their respective Senseis in groups. The Genin would go on missions in exchange for money, if not they were training their moves or jitsues. There are three common types of jitsu; Ninjitsu, Genjitsu and Taijitsu. Genjitsu is visual arts jitsu. Taijitsu is physical attack jitsu while Ninjitsu was for the other jitsues.

For a couple, they were at Ichiraku, a shop Naruto loved to eat at for their delicious ramens. The sound of ninjas and civilians walking around the streets could be heard. Gaara was busy sitting next to his boyfriend, Naruto, watching him eat his ramen happily. He couldn’t believe how their relationship even blossomed in the first place. It all started when he first saw the blonde boy in the near beginning of the Chunin exams. He was interested in Sasuke until the fox boy decided he wanted to fight him too. He wasn't too pleased but it seemed to snowball after that. He remembered the time he transformed into Shukaku due to a mental breakdown, Naruto helping to descale the situation with his summoning jitsu. He must admit he admired Naruto’s determination, especially when he felt the same due to also being a jinchūriki himself. He slowly grew close to Naruto over the years, until they started dating. He became more open to Naruto and try to be more social to others (in a reluctant way). He enjoyed small moments of being with the sweet fox boy, seeing him smile was what he wanted; love and affection…

Gaara: smiles at his boyfriend, leaning to his side as he watched “Enjoying the food, love?”
