GaaraXHinata
"Hold still!" Kankurou snapped as he circled Gaara for the 23rd time, not that the red head was counting.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Gaara asked his elder brother.
"It's the best idea ever!" Kankurou stated proudly. "Now clasp your hands together!"
Gaara did as he was told, clasping his hands behind his back as Kankurou instructed.
The elder boy stepped back from his master peace and grinned before approaching Gaara and making a 'minor' adjustment to his pants.
"Can't you think of anything else I can give her?" Gaara whined.
"Well what does she like?" Kankurou asked taking a seat on his bed.
"Cat's." Gaara began.
"You got her two a few years ago." Kankurou replied.
"Uh she likes the color white." Gaara said thoughtfully.
"You got her a pair of white shoes for Christmas." Kankurou said shooting down his younger brothers hopes. "What else?"
"Uh…" Gaara racked his brain but all he was drawing was blanks.
"Geez you've guys been married for over a year and that's all you know?" Kankurou snorted.
"So?" Gaara said defensive.
"So…you better go with my idea then." Kankurou replied logically.
Gaara was about to protest again when Kankurou cut him off.
"Remember what happened that last time you dressed up for a present?" Kankurou asked.
Flash Back
Hinata sat in their room brushing out her damp hair. She sighed as she looked at her reflection today was her one year marriage anniversary with Gaara and although she had given him a present she still had gotten nothing in return. She didn't want to seem selfish but everything she had ever heard made it seem like she should be selfish. That she should be angry he hadn't gotten her a present. There was a knock at the door and she stood from the bed before opening the door wide. She gasped at what she saw.
"Happy anniversary." Gaara grumbled, his cheeks turning red.
Hinata started to laugh before clasping a hand over her mouth, but her giggles were still heard. Gaara pushed his way into their room and lay down on their bed, crossing his arms.
"What…? Why…? Oh Gaara!" Hinata said in between bursts of laughter.
"I told Kankurou this was ridiculous!" Gaara sneered. "I knew I should have just gotten you the necklace."
Hinata was still laughing. She clutched her sides as she looked at her husband; her neat hair was now disheveled.
"I'm gonna take this off." He stated trying to get up but not being able to because his costume was too bulky.
Hinata watched him roll around on the bed trying to get up before bursting into tears because it was just so funny. Gaara lay on his back, giving up, embarrassed and tired.
"Please help me." He said softly.
Hinata's laugh immediately stopped as she approached him a sweet sincere smile adorned her features before she brushed a few strands of red hair from his eyes. In a few minutes Gaara was back on his feet and waddling towards the bathroom but Hinata stopped him.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"To take this ridiculous thing off!" Gaara snapped.
"Don't." Hinata said seriously.
"What?" Gaara asked, turning around. "Why?"
"Because I like it." She said standing and grabbing one of his hands.
"If this is gonna involve some twisted fantasy I am not going to be involved." Gaara warned.
"Eww!" Hinata grimaced. "I just think you are the most adorable thing I've seen in my life."
She led him to the bed and helped him get into a comfortable position, after making sure he wasn't going anywhere she rushed away.
"Where are you going?" Gaara asked worriedly.
But before he got his verbal answer there was a flash and another giggle.
"Did you just take a picture of me!?" Gaara cried out in alarm.
"Yup." She said looking at the newly developed picture.
He was lying on the bed in a big fluffy panda costume. The only visible part of him was his face and a little bit of his red spiky hair that poked out from underneath the hood. She climbed into bed with him and wrapped her arms around his waist before getting comfortable.
"Arigotou Panda-kun. You can take it off first thing tomorrow."
Gaara sighed but agreed letting his wife fall asleep on his chest.
End Flash Back
"But this is different!" Gaara defended.
"It's only different if you let it be different!" Kankurou countered before standing and putting a party hat on his brother's head. "Time to work your magic skippy."
Gaara allowed himself to be led out into the hall and in a few moments he was standing in front of his bedroom door where there were numerous feminine giggles coming from inside.
"Kankurou!" Gaara cried out in slight panic. "She has her friends over!"
Kankurou grinned before shrugging and knocking on the door and rushing back to his room.
"I guess I forgot to tell you!" Kankurou cackled.
Gaara was about to go after him when the door opened. He turned abruptly seeing his sister looking at him skeptically. She then grinned maniacally.
"Hinata, you got a package for your birthday, should I bring it in?" Temari asked.
"Sure." Hinata said from somewhere inside.
Gaara shook his head in alarm but Temari grabbed the ribbon wrapped around his torso and dragged him inside. He was assaulted with catcalls and whoops as everyone took a good long look at him. His cheeks became red and he glanced at his wife whose mouth was slightly open and her face was the color of a tomato. He stood in the middle of his bed room clad in only his boxers with hearts and a thick red ribbon. It was wrapped around his entire chest cavity and bound his hands together in a huge bow. The yellow party hat on his head said only two words: 'Unwrap me.'
"Now now ladies." Temari said, shielding her brother from anymore lustful glances. "Remember he is for the birthday girl."
All eyes flew to Hinata whose face was now even redder then before. There were hoots and cries of congratulations as Sakura pushed Hinata toward Temari and Gaara.
"What do you gals say?" Temari asked, grasping Hinata's arm and keeping a firm grip on the ribbon around Gaara. "Should we let her enjoy her birthday present?"
There were calls of approval and Temari nodded before walking towards the door, the group of girls following close behind. She opened and dragged the two down the hall until they came to a room and the blonde bombshell kicked the door open. Pushing both of them inside she winked.
"Hope you enjoy your present Hinata."
Gaara and Hinata stood in the room in silent confusion pondering what just happened. Hinata looked over at Gaara and stared at him for a few minutes.
"I'll guess I'll be going now." He began but was pulled back by Hinata who smiled.
"That's not fair." She pouted.
Gaara looked at her blushing even more then before as his wife placed a soft kiss on his cheek.
"You're my present and I intend to…" she began getting on her tiptoes and pulled off his hat. "Unwrap you." She showed him the suggestive words on the hat and giggled.
Gaara gulped.
A/N: You may get whatever you want from that ending. Happy birthday Hinata!
