The view was amazing.

Lee tried to hold back the huge grin he was holding but he couldn't.

Sitting here , his fingers going numb , staring at the city like this was too much seretonin.

"So Gaara , tell me about yourself!"

Gaara looked at lee. A strange look placed upon his face. His face was bent in a soft expression of confusion and questionment.

"There's nothing to know about me" he said deadly.

"Oh come on I'm sure there's something!"

Gaara only shook his head , taking another puff from his cigarette.

"I'm nothing special. Nothin to your intreast anyways"

Lee frowend. "Oh uhm...okay sorry"

"Don't you have a ton of things to talk about? Your job ,your songs , your upcoming performances? Don't people like you never shut up about it?"

Lee looked a little hurt. Not that he felt like gaara was a bad person but enough to try and redeem his name for gaara.

He had a urge to make gaara like him.

"No no! Not at all! At least for me!" Lee smiled. "I try not to talk about it alot! I like learning about people too!"

Gaara gave a shrug.

"My hair's natural red. Don't know why and don't know how , I'm interested in ...well not intreasted but as soon as my dad retires I get his spot."

Lee smiled widley. "That's very cool!"

Gaara just shrugged.

"Well , I'm Lee! Some interesting things about me are , I like sports , I have two dad's , and I'm bi!"

He beamed. His face was lit on one side from the moon but the other was completely concealed. Covered in darkness as if it were a blanket. Lee was a bit scared with the silence that he was presented with after saying it. He hoped gaara wasn't homohobic. Or thought he was weird.

"You seem cool too I guess" Gaara mumbled. The silence broken.

The cold was starting to get to him. He shivered. Lee seemed to take note.

"You should go in" he insisted.

Gaara couldn't argue. He could feel the feeling In his fingertips slowly fading.

He hated being out in the cold and then coming back into the hot and heated house. He'd get all red and his fingers would be almost impossible to move.

He hated it.

He eventually found himself climbing back into the house. He felt a lot better as a warm feeling washed over himself.

He yawned and watched lee climb into the window. Stumbling and struggling due to how tall he was.

"Your a little too tall"

He laughed breathlessly. "ah I guess I am"

He stumbled into the room. "But I still made it through!" He beamed.

Gaara smiled slightly.  He was starting to warm up to lee.

"Well I think it'd be fun If you joined us out there !" Lee said.

Gaara hated going out there. Especially when alcohol and Kankuro were In the same sentence.

"I guess I'll go" he sighed.

Lee walked out first.  Ducking his head under the slim door frame.

"Hey!!!!" Tenten yelled. "Lee! Come have a drink!"

Lee frowned. gaara noticed the almost agittated look on his face. It didn't fit him honestly.

"Tenten you know I don't drink"

She laughed. The alcohol coursing through her veins.

"So what if you destroyed the bar and fought a gang outside in the alley while drunk????"

Lee was embarassed. He really didn't remember hardly anything from the incident but in all reality he knew it had happened. Tenten and Neji were never liars.

"It does matter Tenten! I got extremely drunk and I do not like the hangovers" He said sternly.

"Now if I knew we were going to be getting drunk I would of called this whole thing off" Striding over to the table he picked all the beer bottles up , empty or not and threw them out.

"Now go to bed you barbarians" He said this with a smile. The soft and loving expression returned to his face. It almost sent a wave of calming and saftey down gaara.

Tenten groaned but Temari had already pulled her into her arms on the couch. It didn't take long for them to pass out.

Lee must of been the parent of the group beacuase he made sure everyone had blankets and we're asleep before even thinking of himself.

Lee said nothing in the process of this and gaara felt uncomfortable with him being so silent.

"Lee-"

He was cleaning up the kitchen. Wiping down the counters and tables. Picking up trash.  He even did the dishes.

"Lee....you don't have to do that. I could of just done it"

Lee only school his head.

"I mentioned something about my two dad's right?" Lee said smiling at gaara.

Gaara nodded silently.

"Well my dad is like me! He's pretty loud and outgoing. So we're pretty similar! But my father is much more delicate. He thought me basic manors and what I should do at someone's house and even if it may not be normal I'd like to think of it as a a nice way to show hospitality!"

Lee had finished the dishes. Wiping his hands off on his shirt he looked back at gaara.

"Wanna go get something to eat?"

Gaara nodded. He , in all honesty , loved doing anything at night. It made him feel alive.

Lee pulled out his phone from his pocket and clicked it on. Though he was probably rich, he didn't have some big , fancy phone. It was just some cheap phone that everyone else in the world had.

"Alright it's 1:25 , we should be good to go through a drive through near here"

Gaara walked alongside lee. He felt so small compared to the male. He was tall , he looked muscular. His hair was parted and long , tied into a braid.

He was wearing a faded green shirt and grey sweatpants.

Lee clicked the key into his car and they were rushed with the warm air. Lee's car smelt like a flower feild or a candle isle in a store.

Besides a few pennies and nickels in his cup holders the car was relatively clean.

Gaara proceeded to lay back , relaxing more around lee.

"What do you want gaara?"

Gaara thought for a moment. He wasn't exactly that hungry at the moment.

"Just fries... I guess" he said shyly. Somthimg about telling people what you want made him nervous and overthink everything. He kept his calm composure after lee ordered for himself. Which also wasn't a lot.

Gaara let out a sigh of relief as lee pulled away from the drive-thru.
