   "What...?" Gaara looked at lee puzzled. As If this wasn't already established. 


   "Genuinely Gaara! I do not go a moment without thinking about you" Lee sighed looking to the side. Avoiding Gaara's gaze. "It is like I am always concerned about if you will like what I do or dislike and- I really-, really think I am in love with you" 

Gaara didn't know what to say. Of course, he had felt this same way around Lee. He was scared that Lee was going to dislike something he did or said or maybe even wore. Each time though, Lee found what Gaara did to be special. Not in a bad way, but in a way of picking him out from everyone else. 

It made Gaara feel special. He almost craved the feeling of being complimented or accepted under Lee's presence. As if he was some awkward fan. He would never be that though because ever since he met Lee he just wanted to be by his side. Not in the crowd. 

   "Lee-..... I've known you for a while now....It's felt like years and I feel- The same way.." Gaara looked at lee. "I feel like everything I do needs to be accepted by you and everything I wear has to be something you will find exciting or special. In reality, I act like I just want to sit behind and watch but I just want to be by your side. When you perform, when you go out for dinner, it doesn't matter, I just want to be there" Gaara let a breath out. 


   "Gaara- You felt the same way I did...?" Lee didn't know what to do. Of course, he and Gaara went on a half 'date' but they never established 'dating' or being in love with each other, Neither of them had any relationship or dating experience so it was perfect. They both were blindly walking into this and Lee felt as if that was a good thing. He felt as if he could help and understand Gaara better by knowing just exactly what he was going through. 

    "So-... Does this mean-" Lee tried to speak but was cut off. 

   "Yes now come on. It's cold and you've been out here for hours" Gaara said before turning around again.

When Lee and Gaara had finally gotten back home, Lee offered to let Gaara stay since it was too late for him to drive back. Whilst of course Gaara accepted it he still felt a bit awkward. 

   "Hn- Thank you, Lee, for letting me stay" Gaara took a sip of the tea he had made for himself. Gaara usually takes over the kitchen when at people's houses. He finds himself to be quite a decent chef. Especially now with Lee being injured, Gaara had to take over. Not that he didn't mind. 

    "Oh, it is no problem at all Gaara!" Lee smiled pressing his back against the couch. In all honesty he was hoping he did get sick, that way Gaara could stay a bit longer.

   Gaara smiled while walking over to lee. "so... About earlier...you said "does this mean"-.."

   "Oh yes! I meant as in- does this mean we're ....dating?" Lee paused
  


    Gaara thought for a moment. "I guess it does"
