Etc: This tried to become fluff, I killed that dead. I'm leaving what happened with Yashamaru up to the imagination. Obviously it couldn't be the same, but it was still not good for Gaara's psyche. I may write another section before this chronologically. If I do, the number will change accordingly.
Ten months into their relationship, Lee gets the courage to ask about the lines of white scars on Gaara’s arms.
“They’re old.”
“I know. I just…want to know what happened.”
“When I was younger, I thought hurting on the outside would make it stop hurting on the inside. It didn’t work, so I don’t do it anymore.”
Lee is bewildered. Gaara seems defensive, almost nervous. He’s never seen his boyfriend like this. “Tell me everything? Please?”
Gaara relents and tells him about his dead mother and uncle Yashamaru in monotone, as if it’d happened to a stranger. His hands are shaking.
When he’s finished, Lee feels violently ill and overcome with anger all at once. For the first time in his life, the kind-hearted boy wants to hurt another person. He cries because Gaara won’t, and hugs him like he’ll never let go.
The younger boy decides not to tell Lee about the voice that used to whisper to him, the one that makes him terrified to sleep. Shukaku can wait until another day, when his boyfriend isn’t already upset. It doesn’t matter—Naruto and Lee have somehow silenced him.
But I’m still here, Gaara.
He shudders and tightens his grip on Lee. There are some things the black-haired teen is better off not knowing.
