Sleepless eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, blinking slowly as the night wore on. It was like a sad tradition for the redhead as he laid awake like every night. only this time his thoughts where occupied, by questions and a young man dressed in orange.

He didn't know much about the other boy but what he did know was that he was a happy energetic ball of light. He was a free spirit,burdened by a curse from birth just like himself. Gaara envied the other teen, it made him sick to see the happiness filled ninja smile all the time. always cheerful and without a care in the world.

he was getting a headache.

He was too confused to be tired. hopefully at dawn he could sort out his feelings and the emotions that plagued his wounded heart...
