Gaara and Hinata becoming friends during the timeskip so important to me just two quiet goths in love with the same guy happily walking around the villages together. Gaara hears about Hinata's shitty family and very seriously asks "do we want me to kill them for you" and Hinata thinks he's kidding but he is so deadly serious
Gaara not even realising he has a thing for Naruto until Hinata goes "So... when did you fall for him?" and he completely bluescreens mid-rant about how Naruto has changed his life. He didn't even know he liked people that way until just now. Crying and throwing up about this revelation as Hinata rubs his back, very empathetic to The Struggles™️
