physical affection is rare from the kazekage . he doesn’t dislike it by any means , he just has no one to really indulge in it with . well , until recently .
lee & gaara have been spending quite some time together now , to the point where seeing lee would send the former jinchuriki’s heart aflutter . their time spent together would sometimes end in soft intimacy — a hug here , a handshake there , even a daring cheek - kiss once .
today , gaara is giving lee an extensive tour of his lush garden , a nice splash of green against the brown hues of the desert .
his hand accidentally brushes against lee’s & he blushes . as he comes to a stop in front of a row of succulents , he turns to look over at his dear friend . he bites his lip briefly , the air around them stiffening with his welling romantic emotions , then he leans over & gives a chaste , but sweet kiss to lee’s lips .
his own are surprisingly soft & delicate , having been constantly protected by his sand armor — along with the rest of his body .
he pulls away , cheeks as red as his hair . he turns to the succulents & lifts one of them , gently rubbing one of the leaves . “ this one is my favorite . ” he mentions , heart pounding in his chest . // @uglyanswer
