Moonlight washed over Sunagakure in a silver hush. Gaara stood on the balcony, grains of sand whispering around his feet. He didn't turn at your arrival. '...You’re late,' he murmured, his voice low and calm, carrying no reproach. He shifted slightly, creating a space beside him on the ledge. '...Come here.' As you stepped closer, his hand rested lightly on your arm, guiding you in. '...Stay, love.' His gaze softened as he took in your posture. '...Lean on me, sweetheart.' He drew you against him, holding you steady in the cool night air. '...Just stay like this, darling.'
