Gaara x Naruto 1 sentence challenge

01 Ring

Naruto stares at the slim band of silver on his ring finger and allows himself a small smile before slipping it back into the display case.

02 Hero

The first time Naruto failed to save a friend Gaara held him and whispered that, rather than saving everyone, a true hero is someone who makes the living want to live.

03 Memory

Gaara’s most cherished memory isn’t becoming the Kazekage or even his first kiss, but Naruto’s warm, careless fingers brushing against his accidentally and feeling his heart race for the first time.

04 Box

The Kazekage enjoys watching Uzumaki box not because he fights a good battle, but because it is the only time he fights without a shirt.

05 Run

When Naruto finds his answer in Sasuke’s cold, black eyes he is running before his teammate can say another word—running to tell Gaara before it is too late.

06 Hurricane

Naruto prides himself on his reputation as “the hurricane,” but here, entangled in Gaara’s limbs, he discovers the eyes of the storm are green.

07 Wings

When Gaara happens upon the broken winged bird dead in the cage he buries it quietly and leaves the cage door open, hoping that Naruto will reach a happier conclusion.

08 Cold

As Gaara thrusts deep into Uzumaki he feels the first few drops of sweat slide down his back despite their harsh breaths floating like small clouds rising in the snow.

09 Red

Naruto loves the way Gaara looks in red—the way the blood rushes beneath the skin to meet his fingertips.

10 Drink

Sake never really had much of an effect on Gaara, but somehow tasting it on Naruto’s tongue was enough to make him stumble.

11 Midnight

When the gong strikes midnight Gaara is the first to throw his coin and make a wish that is being repeated more than a hundred miles away.

12 Temptation

Naruto was transfixed by the Kazekage’s serpent green eyes, lowering his tongue to taste the long forbidden fruits from which he ate, and ate, and ate.

13 View

As much as Gaara enjoys the view from on top, nothing beats the crushing weight of Naruto spent and shuddering deep inside him.

14 Music

Naruto strums the lithe pale body slowly until green eyes hum with need, and the tempo quickens, the cymbals clash and voices rise until they sing.

15 Silk

Gaara is unaccustomed to the softness of fabric against his skin, but when he releases the sand and sprawls between white silk sheets they feel almost as good against him as Uzumaki.

16 Cover

The first time Naruto spread out naked before him Gaara cried angry tears that, like Naruto’s touch, could not penetrate the cover of sand.

17 Promise

Remembering Sakura’s words, Gaara has always refused Naruto’s promises for fear of how much pain it will cause if he can’t keep his own word.

18 Dream

Sometimes neither the heartbeat thrumming against his back nor the soft puffs of breath on his neck are enough and Gaara bites the inside of his cheek until he can taste the blood and feel the burst of pain—just in case.

19 Candle

When Naruto wraps his arms around Gaara and tells him to blow out the candles Gaara wonders what he could possibly wish for that hasn’t already come true.

20 Talent

Gaara arcs into the warm mouth enveloping his most private parts, grateful that Uzumaki’s tongue is talented with so much more than words.

21 Silence

These days Naruto doesn’t chatter so excitedly when he returns to Suna, but drops his pack by the door while Gaara picks up the falling kisses, conversing through hands, eyes, lips and not a single word spoken.

22 Journey

The journey to get to Konoha is never easy, but when Naruto’s smile greets him under the tall open gates Gaara remembers how much he loves it.

23 Fire

Before the attack on Konoha, Gaara’s father told him the fire country was feeble—a flame to be snuffed out by wind—but blowing on the embers of his camp fire, he imagined a shock of blue eyes and wild yellow hair and watched the flame grow higher.

24 Strength

824 kills, two painful defeats and one return from death later Gaara finally realized that what made Uzumaki so formidable was that he, unlike so many shinobi, knew that strength came from the heart and not the hands.

25 Mask

Naruto’s inability to hide his emotions comes as a relief to Gaara; and while he is comfortable reacting to the other’s open affection he wonders if he’ll ever be confident enough to show the same.

26 Ice

Gaara feels almost guilty wasting the single cube gliding from Naruto’s neck to the heat of his groin, but he can think of no better use of the small luxury now sliding in liquid drops down a golden thigh.

27 Fall

For Naruto, learning to love Gaara is like learning how to walk: the knees are weak and it’s so easy to fall.

28 Forgotten

Gaara’s eyes opened wide at the sight of Uzumaki’s smiling face, surprised at finding himself not alone on the field of his resurrection and uncertain of how he felt when he realized, despite all his fears, he had not died forgotten.

29 Dance

When Gaara sees fireworks for the first time, Naruto is with him, watching the dance of fire lights in astonished green eyes.

30 Body

Naruto imagined the body beneath his palms was still warm, still close to life as he and Chiyo poured their strength and their hearts into willing the Kazekage to lift their hands with just one more breath.

31 Sacred

When Naruto enters the temple of Gaara’s body he bows his head, whispers quick pleas, and prays to Gaara like something sacred.

32 Farewells

Gaara averts his eyes when he self consciously hands Naruto the cup of instant ramen and is surprised when his gift is returned with a farewell kiss that will linger on his lips for hours.

33 World

Naruto could never bear to see the eyes averted from thinly veiled fear when the Kazekage walked in public, vowing he’d remake this world and everything in it if it meant making the Kazekage smile.

34 Formal

Naruto will never be accustomed to the formal robes of a Hokage, but oh does he enjoy all the things he can hide beneath it, especially when the Kazekage is in town.

35 Fever

When Gaara came down to breakfast flushed, sweating and weak on his feet Kankuro’s immediate concern was to find a doctor until the rokudaime hokage joined them with a smile.

36 Laugh

Naruto considers it a success when small wrinkles appear at the corner of the Kazekage’s eyes and marks it as another milestone in the battle to make Gaara laugh.

37 Lies

Gaara’s heart pounded as Naruto’s hand slipped beneath the kage robe knowing that while his mouth protested lies his body would speak many truths tonight.

38 Forever

Gaara doesn’t believe in vows ending with “forever,” but some days Uzumaki really makes him wish he did.

39 Overwhelmed

Gaara had lived so long in fear, in pain, and constant rage that he never knew until now, threading fingers in the sleeping hokage’s hair, that peace could be so overwhelming.

40 Whisper

Every morning Gaara woke before dawn and whispered three words into his lover’s ear before turning and closing green eyes too soon to see the Hokage smile.

41 Wait

One word, one command or one question lingers in the air unspoken while Gaara stands silently watching an orange figure leaving him slowly, unable to speak a word.

42 Talk

Gaara recognizes the signs, surprised that even in Konoha people talk; and when they do he raises his chin a little higher and with a few covert nudges of sand, encourages Uzumaki to do the same.

43 Search

Gaara’s fists smacks Uzumaki with a sickening thud, hoping this time it will get through to him; hoping this time the message will be clear; hoping this time, Uzumaki will stop searching for the memory of one who no longer exists and finally see what is right before him.

44 Hope

Achieving chuunin rank is bittersweet for Naruto until he notices the smile of another boy his age sitting with Tsunade-baba high above them, and he remembers why he shouldn’t give up.

45 Eclipse-

Gaara’s pale body glows luminous, slowly aligning with the golden body beneath his like two orbits in harmony again for what will feel too short after waiting so long.

46 Gravity

Naruto smiles at Gaara’s panicked face and spreads his arms wide against the rush of wind that will push and not lift his falling body, confident in the speed of sand over gravity.

47 Highway

Gaara smiles when the new highway if opened, the one that will ease the journey through River Country to join the lands of wind and fire and hopes it will bring their worlds a little closer.

48 Unknown

Uzumaki was never one to be afraid of the unknown and so it is no surprise that when Gaara finds himself uncomfortably close, uncomfortable because of the feelings that emerge, that it is Uzumaki who presses forward first, pressing warm lips against his own curious mouth.

49 Lock

Gaara carries it with him always, tucked away in a small silk pouch like a charm, or amulet, around his neck, taking it out only in the winter months and cheerless days when he unwraps the precious article carefully and imagines he can still smell the sunshine on a single lock of golden hair.

50 Breathe

For Gaara, coming back to life wasn't opening his eyes and learning how to breathe again, but seeing Uzumaki's smile and forgetting how.
