Because Naruto is the only person whose voice reaches Gaara. A collection of 10 cute drabbles and my fav pairing – Naruto/Gaara! Dedicated to Gaara X Itachi

Drabble 10 – "Teddy"

"I can't believe you, I really can't," Gaara said staring down at the object in Naruto's hands.

"Oh come on Gaara, it took me ages to track this thing down, the least you could do is keep it," Naruto whined.

Gaara took the ageing teddy bear from the tanned man and sighed.

"Naruto it brings nothing but bad memories for me, that's why I threw it away in the first place," he said.

Naruto looked sad. "I know. But I thought if I gave it to you, it could give you different memories, ones of you and me,"

Gaara looked back down at the teddy, studying in closely.

Yashamaru had given him that teddy bear when he was younger, and since his betrayal, he'd gotten rid of it.

How Naruto had managed to find it was beyond Gaara. Why would he even want to find it anyway?

Gaara sighed as he realised there was no answer to that question, it's just how Naruto was. Unpredictable.

Naruto reached behind him and took out a marker. "I was going to put the 'ai' on his forehead like yours," he said.

Gaara took the marker from him. "No don't do that," he said. Carefully, he drew three whiskers on the teddy's cheeks.

"There. That's better," Gaara said with a satisfied nod.

He held it out to Naruto, who looked at it curiously. "Hey…it looks like me!" he exclaimed.

Gaara rolled his eyes at the kitsune's slowness. "Yes Naruto, it looks like you. You wanted me to have memories of us instead of Yashamaru, this is a good way to achieve that." He said.

"I can look at it and think of you when you're not here,"

This gave Naruto an idea. He pulled out Gama-chan, he frog coin purse, and took the marker from Gaara.

He drew the 'ai' symbol on the frog's forehead and smiled at his handiwork.

"There! Now it looks like you, so I can look at him and think of you Gaa-chan!" he said smiling.

Gaara smiled.

He never did get rid of the bear after that, it sat on his windowsill, and when he had a nightmare, he would discreetly take it down and hug it, like he would Naruto.

He named it Naru, after the whiskered blonde it now resembled.

So this is the end of my drabbles, hope you enjoyed them peeps!
