017

It'd been a long while since you had seen that red headed friend of yours, being out on missions and such. He was so busy recently that he rarely had time to see you! In your opinion it was preposterous and you were as selfish as ever when it came to it, Gaara should only spend time with you whether anyone else liked it or not. The least was that you were to be with him wherever he went. Despite this, being clingy yourself was not a trait you would like to acknowledge.

Gaara was sitting outside a local flower shop, presumably waiting for you. Finally seeing Gaara right in front of you after what felt like a thousand years felt incredibly pleasant. The butterflies in your stomach churned with excitement, and just looking at him made your being nervous. It was as if your eyes transformed into hearts.

You approached him with the a warm smile and soon graced him with a wave that seemed to attract other villagers, "Gaara! Gaara!"

His eyes darted up towards your small stature frolicking towards him, "[Name].."

It was like a dream. As you pounced onto his body and wrapped your tiny arms around his frame, engulfing him in your tightest embrace. It was as if you were spilling years upon years of yearn from his absence, and it was the best feeling in the world. 

Gaara hesitantly reciprocated, slowly snaking his own arms around your body. Though his hug felt slightly loose, receiving it from him felt like the rest of the world didn't even exist. Just you and him in a vast abyss of nothingness. 

Finally, you both let go to look at one another. His expression was soft, "It's been a while."

You let out a teasing giggle and nudged his shoulder with your elbow, "You were out for so long on your mission. I missed you tons."

"I missed you more," he said. "Every day without your presence had been the roughest."

"Gaara... I.." Before you could finish your words, a sudden beam of light flashed before you and blinded your vision. 

It had been so sudden that you didn't have time to react to it, not even a scream could be let out. Gaara didn't seem as confused as you, it was as if nothing was going on at all. Just you and him, and nothing else. You could clearly see Gaara dissolve in the brightness of the light rays, and your heart dropped into a trillion pieces. 

Was he not noticing what was happening at the moment? Attempts to call for his name failed, as though someone had stripped your voice away. Soon the light became so bright that you were unable to keep your eyes open. 

And in an instant, Gaara disappeared and was replaced with the bright morning sun. Confused, you slowly blinked yourself awake and sat up from the comfort of your bed. A wave of emptiness overcame you in such a heavy manner that you could feel yourself being instantly drained, it had only been a dream. All this time you were asleep. Gaara was still out on his mission, and you were alone once again. 

Your eyes began to swell, and that morning you had shed a million tears.
