Summary: Gaara and Naruto have been together for years. Sasuke has been out of sight and out of mind since he left the village soon after his trial. His sudden return to Konoha brings up a lot of old tension and unresolved feelings—resentment, jealousy, anger, to name a few—on Gaara’s part.

Sasuke and Naruto are best friends, a fact which puts a strain on Gaara and Naruto’s relationship as Gaara’s suppressed feelings come to the surface. With Iruka as a mediator, will Gaara be able to work through events of the past that left him with so much lingering hurt?

i just had this really ridiculous idea that if naruto ever made it to jounin, gaara could just hire him for “super secret s rank missions” in order to get him to suna more often

and literally everyone in the suna council is like...”gaara...stop wasting taxpayer’s money...we all know what you’re doing. just get married already.”
