“ that so,  huh? “

digits scratching at his cheek,   naruto nods sagely.     it was still a bit weird,   seeing gaara out and about without his two siblings flanking him,   but hey !   it was a welcome change.   and with the war concluded and all,   konoha was one of the safest places to be.    crown tilting to the side,   the boy flashes the kazekage with a grin and a thumbs up. 

“ heh,    believe it!    but um  …   if ‘m bein’ honest,   it’s sorta weird.   like how it was after i saved the village from  pain,   yanno?   everyone’s  …smilin’ at me.   givin’ me gifts;   free food,  clothes,   cards,  anything,  really.   i - i’m not sure if i like it.   i mean,   i didn’t do anythin’ special,   yanno?  i helped in the war,   just like everyone else. “    a deep sigh parts,   and he slumps forwards for a moment before pulling himself back up.    “ say,   gaara.   are you gettin’ anything like that back in your village? “

                                              ❛   there are times .   ❜

times when people feel strange to him , like they admire him for something he’s not & never will be . still , there are those who would make an attempt on his life if offered the chance . those who speak of him like vermin & coalesce to degrade him in mass . it’s nothing he’s not used to . what naruto speaks of  --  the praise , the admiration , the people who look up to him . that’s what’s unusual . that’s what makes so little sense to him .

                             ❛   some treat me different than they did before .   ❜

he folds his hands together , draping arms against his knees .

                                   ❛   others will always despise me .   ❜

looking to naruto , he sees the contemplation in his eyes & stares outward into konoha’s leaves .

                           ❛   if you’re uncomfortable  .  .  .  it makes sense .   ❜

@ruinrisen.  {  gaara  &  kakashi.  }.

‘  maa  ,  gaara-kun.  ’  eye  smile  firm  on  his  mostly-covered  face  as  the  genuine  fondness  in  his  voice  is  unmistakable.  (  he  technically  has  no  reason  to  be  proud  of  the  younger  shinobi  ,  having  had  no  hand  in  his  development  and  technically  being  too  little  ,  too  late  to  save  his  life  ,  but  it’s  true  he  feels  pride  nonetheless.  a  lot  has  changed  since  the  other  was  twelve  –  going  from  someone  who  hated  bonds  to  the  commander  of  the  allied  shinobi  forces  …  ).  ‘  what  business  does  the  commander  have  with  an  old  man  like  me  ?  ’

there’s something about standing before the man who guided naruto through much of his genin experience . the man who led him whilst gaara lost himself to his own faltering sanity & shukaku’s vice grip on his control . he’s the kazekage now , whether or not the people of his village choose to acknowledge him in such regard is a notion not left to him . he stands before kakashi in his hat & robes , as he’s just left an important meeting with the fifth hokage .

                                                                ❛   kakashi .   ❜

he acknowledges him , offering a simple nod in introduction .         ❛   temari & kankurō are to remain here for an extended period . i will need you to escort me back to suna on the fifth hokage’s orders .   ❜

battle couples has gotta be one of my favorite tropes though. The “you got me?” “Yeah, I got you.” The kiss for good luck. Fighting alongside each other for so long they know every strength and weakness. The dichotomy of being fucking terrifying to their enemies, but so soft with each other. When one is in danger and the other goes feral, protects them at any cost. When everything is over and done, it’s all “let me see where you’re hurt,” and washing off the dirt and blood.
