Whose hand? … Whose hand is this? My hand? Who am I? Whose hand? Whose?
“Gaara.” Gaara? Is that who… is that who I am? Gaara.
Green eyes slowly blinked open. The quiet red-head was kneeling down in the sand. He felt something unfamiliar touch his shoulder. He looked up, still a little disoriented. “Naruto?” A face he hadn’t seen in three years smiled down at him. Tired relief evident in every aspect of his face.
Gaara looked around, standing up slowly. There were dozens of people around, some laughing, some crying, a few trying to get past Temari so they could hug him. He swayed slightly and felt two comforting arms, one on either side, wrap around him. His older brother and his friend were helping him stand.

“Well?” Naruto was looking at her, arms folded, jaw set, eyes narrowed, worry at war with determination in his features. Sakura shook let her hair out of its impromptu bun, and replied “He’ll make a full recovery, no permanent damage to his chakra network, I’d say give it a day or two and he should be just fine.” She gasped as she was pulled suddenly into a tight hug. “Thank you Sakura. Thank you.”

Knock, Knock.
“Come in.” A gruff voice answered the persistent knocking. Naruto shyly poked his head in, holding a small fruit basket. “I just wanted to see how you were doing and bring you some-” He cut off, noticing a wide assortment of cards, flowers, small presents, and yes, fruit baskets that were littered around the hospital recovery room. “Um, I’ll just leave it, uh, here.” He finished setting it on the floor by a much larger basket.
The blonde finally looked over at the bed to see Gaara quietly watching him, an amused expression danced across his face. Naruto looked for a place to sit, but every square inch was covered in the well wishes of others. Still amused, the red-head smiled softly and patted a space near the foot of the bed. “Here’s fine.” Naruto looked down to cover his blush and sat on the bed, face-to-face with the only person in the whole world who understood him and he understood in turn.
“How are you feeling?” Naruto asked, breaking the companionable silence. This question was met with a pained expression and a roll of the eyes. “I went from being the ultimate weapon to being a fragile tea cup over night. They just want to keep me over night to make sure I’m really alright.” Something about what he’d said seemed to be bothering Naruto. “What’s wrong?” He asked the troubled teenager across from him.
“You’re not a weapon. You’re Gaara. You’re my friend. Treating you that way was wrong.” The normally exuberant boy was suddenly heated. During his emotional outburst Naruto had taken one of Gaara’s hands and was holding on tightly. Realizing, he looked down, blushing furiously, but oddly, didn’t let go.
Still looking down, Naruto felt a hand slowly caressing his cheek. Frozen, like a spooked animal, Naruto tensed from the sudden tender action from the other boy. The hand tightened and the blonde boy’s chin was slowly brought up so the two were staring each other in the eye inches apart.
Dizzy, all Naruto could feel was the pounding of his own heart.
