Summary
Gaara leans in close, his mouth a bit sloppy against Lee’s ear.
“I’m drunk,” he mumbles, and then he giggles.
In four years of dating, and many years of friendship before, Lee has never heard Gaara giggle.
---
Or, Gaara gets absolutely shitfaced, and Lee has to deal with the fallout.

Summary
Gaara wakes after his resurrection to a world that is finally, impossibly quiet. No Shukaku. No constant pressure in the back of his mind. Just silence - and the soft sound of Naruto Uzumaki asleep in a chair beside his bed.
Recovery is strange. Sleep is stranger. And navigating life without the demon that shaped his entire existence is something Gaara isn’t sure he knows how to do.
Naruto should return to Konoha. He should continue his search for Sasuke. But when Gaara’s control slips and old fears resurface, Naruto makes a choice: he stays.
Now the two of them share the Kazekage’s home, one too quiet, one too loud. The similarities of their pasts build a shaky foundation on which to explore their differences.

Summary
Gaara Sabaku is a brilliant university student who, after a past marked by deep trauma, has learned to survive by building walls around his heart. Distrustful, independent, and determined to never let anyone control his life again, he’s convinced that trusting others is a luxury he simply can’t afford.
Itachi Uchiha is an Alpha who is as respected as he is reserved. Elegant, patient, and gifted with remarkable self-control, he faces every situation with calm and reason. When fate brings him and Gaara together, he chooses to build their relationship one step at a time, proving that true love is born not from possession, but from respect.
However, as Gaara’s past returns to threaten the peace he’s worked so hard to find, Itachi will discover that even patience has its limits when the person he considers his home is in danger.

Summary
Gaara, in all his time as a shinobi, has faced worse.
There have been matters of gouging, impalements and gashes. He has died once, and the sensation of being reborn back into his own body was far from pleasant. Life in Sunagakure, though initially unhappy as it may have been, had rendered him with a poison resistance not yet birthed by mithridatism. In short, Gaara was hardy, and it was to the annoyance of any soul that had ever tried to kill him.
That wasn’t to say it was without humiliation.
When Gaara comes to, he is graced by the darkness of his own eyelids and the coolness of a tile floor. In a way, it was a relaxant for his tensed body, but a harrowing reminder of a casual visit gone awry.
When Gaara is faced with poisons of his own villages creation, his immunity takes the brunt of the blow. Unfortunately for him, it gives way to some lesser known side effects.

Summary
They are no longer just speaking as Naruto, nor Gaara. They spoke for the Leaf and the Sand. Naruto risked a devastation to such hard-wrought bonds if he faced up with Sunagakure’s council members. If they didn’t listen to Gaara, they sure as Hell wouldn’t listen to him.
“Then, let’s prove it!” Hands slam on the table, and Naruto lifts himself from his seat. There’s the graceful curve of his muscles, the smooth edge of his prosthetic, and Gaara cannot help but find the warmth of his cheeks growing ever the more prominent as he calmly looks up to meet his gaze.
“…What do you mean? They’d take any ‘coming out’ as a sudden avoidance to getting married.” Gaara says. “Lying to the council isn’t an option, either.”
“I mean… do we have to lie? We’re friends, yeah?”
The Sunagakure Council intends for Gaara to get married. Live a happy life, as his father did, and have a nuclear family of his own. Gaara can't quite say no. Naruto knows just how to help him.
