Gaara felt awkward...coming here.
The playground was derelict and neglected, and it reached out to him.
Somehow it was like home, back in Suna. He didn't know what drew him to this place. It was deserted, but still retained the evidence of where children had once played.
His green eyes saw an empty crisp packet wafting lazily in the sand pit. It marred the beauty of the almost golden grains. He bent down to pick it up and put it in the bin.
Something inside of him wanted to stay here, amongst the swings and the happy memories that people had here.
He really...loved it, in one of those weird ways that you can never explain.

Kazuma was being his normal self, he was wandering. He did that alot for the first few weeks in a new place. He did it everywhere he went. So here he was wandering throught the park. Remarkably the same one he had met Temari in.
*Hm, I wonder if I'll see her again today. She did say she wanted to join Otousan's dojo, so maybe I could invite her over today if I see her.* he thinks happily as he walks down the path. As he walks he sees a red haired guy standing over the sandbox before he bends down grabbing a piece of trash before throwing it away in the trash bin nearby. He smiles *Thats a nice guy, cleaning up the trash.* he thinks before walking up to the boy.
"Hello Redhair-kun. I'm sorry for bothering you, but it was nice of you to pick up that trash just a moment ago. I just wanted to thank you. Some people can be so inconsiderate can't they?" he says smiling at the boy. "My name is Yamada Kazuma, its a pleasure to meet you." he says giving the boy a polite bow smiling.

The Kazu guy ruined the mood of the whole thing. Something about him made Gaara want to shake him and tell him that the world was a bad place and not a stupid happy wonderland.
"Aka...?" Gaara shuddered. Red...
'Some people can be so inconsiderate, can't they?' He repeated sarcastically in his head. And the bow? What planet did this guy come from? Obviously not from anywhere Gaara had heard of.
"My name's Gaara! Not Aka-kun or whatever you said!"
The name was slightly familiar. Wasn't Temari going on about some guy yesterday?

Kazuma smiles "Nice to meet you Garra-kun." he says softly. "Ne, Garra-kun. Do you mind if I make an observation?" he asks standing upright again smiling at the Garra. "You look a lot like Temari-chan, are you related?" he asks smiling.
He stretches "Such a nice day out, don't you think?" he says softly looking up. He blinks before grinning at Garra "Oh! Do you mind passing a message onto Temari-chan for me?" he asks before smiling "I just want her to know that the Dojo is going to be up and running by next week." He says before thinking again before smiling. "Your invited too if you want to Garra-kun. I don't know if your into kendo, but its very healthy and good for you." he says before stretching again this time letting out a yawn. "Otousan always says it bad for me to wander around cities because of how dangerous they are. But I've only had problems twice and it was nothing I couldn't handle. And Konoha is so peaceful, don't you think Garra-kun?" he finishes smileing at him.

"Oi! You can't just assume I'm related to someone!"
He groaned. Garra? Was there some weird thing that this stupid guy had with his name? And didn't he know that Gaara was useless at sport anyway! The Stupid Guy just assumed that he wanted to hear about his father and how he had 'problems'. Was he hinting that he was gay or something?
Somehow Gaara couldn't avoid the good intentions hidden beneath the polite tones.
"I'll tell her though, but only if you say my name properly. Gaara. Gaa-rah. G-A-A-R-A."

"Oh!" he says surprised before bowing "Gomen Gomen, I don't know how I could have messed that up.." he says before laughing nervously. "So Gaara-kun, why are you here?" he asks looking around the the park. "Are you going to meet someone or did you just come for a walk?" he asks before grinning.
"You know, I haven't swung on a swing in a long time." he says as he walks over to the swing set. "So simple, yet it used to be hours of fun" he says as he starts to swing. A few moments later he is almost making it parallel to the top grinning. "Wow! I never used to get this high!" he says laughing.

Bowing...Again.
Gaara felt the urge to swing as well. Gaara wanted to...make friends with this weirdo. And like it or not...the Stupid Guy was good at swinging.
He sauntered casually to the swing set, making sure to go on the other side; to avoid being knocked unconscious by one of Kazuma's feet.

Kazuma grins as Gaara walks over. "Ne Gaara-kun! You should try it too, its really fun!" he says grinning at the boy as he swings.
"So Gaara-kun, you never answered my question. Why are you here?" he asks grinning. His eyes brighten when he gets an idea. At the peck of his forward swing he jumps off the swing flying through the air before landing on his butt in the sandbox laughing. "Now that was fun!" he says laughing.

"Yeah. I guess I will."
He plonked himself down on a swing and watched Kazuma dive-bomb into the sandpit.
"You do realise you could have killed yourself?" Gaara replied dryly, he almost wished that the Stupid Guy could fall on his face for once. It would certainly make him feel better about the guy. He had sort of...mixed feelings. One part of him was making snide remarks and pointed out that there must be something terribly wrong with Kazuma or that he was gay (something that seemed pretty likely at the moment)...
...and the other part of him was saying 'Make friends with the dude'.
But he's an idiot! Gaara protested feebly in his head. Exactly...that's why he'd want to be friends with you! It replied.
"And in answer to your question...I don't know."

"I'm built a lot tougher then that Gaara-kun" he says laughing as he walks back to the swing. He grins before looking at him curiously "So you just wandered here to?" he asks blinking as he starts to swing again. he grins looking over at Gaara "Right over there Is where I met Temari-chan, i was lost and she helped me find my way home." he says happily pointing to a bench not far away.
"Ne Gaara-kun, I know this may sound strange, but do you know what Temari-chan's favorite color is?" he asks smiling. "I was thinking of getting her some flowers, I know she likes Camellias. But What color should I get her?" he asks curiously as he swings lazily.

"Purple...or as she prefers to call it 'violet'. Its all the same really."
Well...so much for Kazu being gay. It was almost disappointing. Almost.
Gaara swung lazily; he was obviously not trying to shoot up into the air and never come back down again.
How did someone become your friend?
Were they just...your friend?
Did you ask them?
Gaara had never had experience with this...he was always alone in Suna. No matter how much Temari babyed him and how many times Kankuro teased him he would always be...alone.

"So Gaara-kun, how many friends do you have from around here? I just moved here, so I don't know many people." he says with a nervous laugh. "And oddly enough your the first Guy I've met." he says laughing. "Its all been girls. First Temari-chan, then Ino-chan, Then my would be bride...I really need to talk to Otousan about that..." he says getting lost in thought as he swing before shaking himself back to reality.
"So yea, I'm glad I met you Gaara-kun, your my first male friend from around here." he says smiling at the boy as he swings. "So Gaara-kun, do you want to get something to eat or something? I know I'm starving." he says grinning.

Friend?
Kazu just ASSUMED that Gaara was his friend?
Maybe it was easy being someone's friend after all.
"I'm from Suna..."
And then Gaara's brain remembered what the guy had just said.
"...future bride? Woah, you're getting...MARRIED? Who the hell are you marrying?" Kazu was certainly overdosed in the weird factor but seriously; getting married was going too far.

"I lived in Suna a few years ago. Me and Otousan realy liked it, but Okaasan and Oneechan didn't so we moved" he says giving a little laugh. He frowns when Gaara asks about the marriage. "Arranged, tho the girl is far too childish for me to even consider. Beautiful, yes. Foul mannered, horribly so." he says before smiling. "But Otousan said if I find someone special, he will call it off. I need to talk to him about it. I really don't want to marry Hanako-san." he says as he starts to stop swinging.
Kazuma gets up and stretches a little before asking "Ne Gaara-kun, do you know any good places to eat?" he says before grinning "Its my treat as a friend, so you don't have to worry about paying." he says grinning at the boy waiting for him to lead the way.

"I don't really know many places...but I'm starting work at this Karaoke bar tomorrow...would there be okay? And there's this little coffee shop place somewhere that I passed earlier."
He got off the uncertainly. This was his first friend! What if he did something that made Kazu mad?
"Uh..you can decide. I'm not too bothered..."
