The Confession!

"Oh. Ok. Stay as long as you want." Gaara continued his meal. "What do you need to do?"

[Aiden had revived Naka]

" I need to tell someone very important to me." Junsei said as she swallowed the ramen.

Maybe they should retreat?... No... But... No buts! But... Junsei groaned to herself, this was going to be harder than she had first thought.

"Someone important to you..." Gaara thought over what she said. "...Is it someone you 'love'?" He had not felt much love when he was a child. He was thankful of Naruto for showing him what he could and would have. Someone to love...

Naka saw Junsei's hesitancy, and smiled encouragingly at her, mentally saying, "Do it!"

Junsei's chopsticks dropped out of her hands and into her bowl of ramen.

" Y-y-yeah... I really don't know if he'll return the feeling of love back to me, so I'm kinda scared to tell him." Junsei said as she looked towards Gaara.

She bit her lower lip gently as thought about how she was going to say those three words.

"If he doesn't, maybe I can persuade him to." Gaara found the girl interesting, and nice. If she doesn't receive love from the one she loves, he'd surely have something to say about it. "Who is it?"

Junsei could feel her heart in her ears now. She leaned over and planted a quick kiss to Gaara's cheek on impulse.

" Its... You Gaara-san. I," She gulped, " Love you." Junsei said as she fidgeted in her seat, waiting for Gaara's reaction.

Gaara was surprised when she kissed his cheek. 'It's...You Gaara-san. I...Love you.'

It took a few moments for it to register in his brain... Junsei loves me...Junsei loves me... A sudden, enlightening feeling filled his heart...Was it...Happiness?

"..." Gaara studied Junsei, who was fidgeting. Truth be told, he found it kind of cute. "...I love you too."

~ again Naka fainted onto Aiden.

((Poor Naka!))

Junsei could have sworn that her heart had exploded. She hugged Gaara and kissed his cheek again.

" Thank you for returning my feelings Gaara-san." Junsei said as she smiled.

She took a look around the restaurant. Everyone was starting at them.

" I think we should leave from here. One; Because I think Naka has fainted enough in this public place, and two: everyone's staring at us." Junsei said as she looked at Gaara.

"Okay. Let's go." Gaara kissed Junsei's cheek. He guessed it was the right thing to do, since she did it. He paid for the meal and led her outside, everyone's eyes burning into their backs.

And Aiden carried Naka out. (that keeps happening to me *_*)

((Once again, poor Naka.))

Junsei felt her face heat up and she followed Gaara with Aiden and Naka following close behind. She also felt everyone burning holes into their backs.

" Where are we going Gaara..kun?" Junsei asked.

(( o___o where ARE we going?))

"Somewhere peaceful, so no one will interrupt us." Gaara looked around, searching for the best spot.

Naka woke up, highly embarrassed to be in Aiden's arms. Again.

(( Maybe like on the top of the Kazekage tower at sunset? Idk.))

" Someplace peaceful? Maybe the top of the Kazekage Tower. It'd take forever to get to you and if you're not in sight, they won't bother us." Junsei suggested.

She looked back and saw Naka wake with a blush.

"Alright then, let's go." Gaara took Junsei's hand and the two walked back to the Kazekage's tower.

"You guys go ahead, we have somewhere else to go." Aiden waved goodbye at the two, a smirk in place.

Junsei turned back to wave to Aiden, but she didn't miss the smirk on his face. A smile would have sufficed for her, but she guessed that was Aiden's way of cheering her on. She turned her attention back to Gaara. You know form the side he kinda looked like a...

" Panda..." Junsei said as she imagined a chibi panda Gaara.

Talk about loving him before!

"Hm? Panda?" Gaara asked, looking at Junsei. He would have looked confused...if he would show any emotion. "What panda?"

(that's what i thought when i 1st saw him o.o" )

" I mean from this angle you look like a panda bear. Kind, gentle and loving, but when you're mad you attack when you see fit. In fact, That's you nickname from now on. Panda-kun." Junsei said as she leaned her head on Gaara's arm.

((Really? My friends had said raccoon when they first saw him.))

Junsei rested on Gaara's arm, and he didn't stop her. In fact, he liked the contact..

(omg i suck at dates -_-" well, he has 'panda' eyes o___o

((Yay Panda eyes! But I suck at dates too T.T I'm just typing whatever comes to mind T.T))

" Panda-kun, how did you feel when I told you that I love you?" Junsei asked

"...Surprised. But don't worry, it was a good surprise." Gaara glanced at the girl next to him. She 'loved' him...and he's going to love her back...

(-has never been on date- ... -has never had boyfriend- o_o i am a novice in this department. No idea what people do on dates)

(( All of the above for me too T.T Poor us))

" Funny, it was the same for me, execpt I didn't know if you would love me back so I was kinda scared of your answer." Junsei as she looked at Gaara.

(( for me, its all 'his' fault. O_ó jealous git! ))

"...don't worry, I do..." Gaara put his hand on her cheek, relishing the warmth on her skin. "I do..."

(( Aw! poor you.))

Junsei put her hand over Gaara's and smiled at him. She gave him a peck on the lips.

"Arigato Gaara-kun." Junsei said, her voice wavering in and out.

(( but he gets so twistedly evil when he's mad ^///^ ))

Gaara felt her kiss him, very softly, on his lips. "Arigato, Gaara-kun."

"..." He knew what a 'kiss' was, since he saw Aiden sneak one on Naka. Gaara leaned in closer and kissed Junsei back. His face was as expressionless as ever, but he lowered his eye lids lazily, enjoying the kiss.

(( You know you love it though *Smile smile*))

Junsei's eyes widened in surprise before they slid closed, her arms wrapping around his neck.

Nothing could possibly go wrong now!

(( ...yeah, I do >///< ))

Her arms wrapped around Gaara's neck and he peeked at her from his closed lids. Who knew she was so forward? ...well, so was he...

(( ._. I have no idea how a kiss works... -never (NEVER!) been kissed- *_* ))
