*currently on hiatus* Gaara leaves his dark past in Suna, together with his siblings, and moves to Konoha, where he meets an energetic boy, who almost immediately asks him out on a date. Even though he becomes friends with the boy, who told him his name is Lee, he keeps on pushing him away. But why? Does he not like him? Or does he? Is it because of his past? And how will Lee react? ships in this book: GaaLee (obv) ShikaTema NejiTen InoSai tw: murder, domestic violence, bullying/ homophobia characters are not mine but the cover and story are! most characters are seniors besides gaara and kankuro. i know they're the same age as most others, and that temari is older than all of them, but it just worked out better like this. Hope you'll enjoy!
