Lee tries to build bridges, Gaara tries to build barriers to keep Lee safe from him.

Rock Lee wants to know him more, he admires him a lot what pretty soon turns to be a crush. Maybe Gaara doesn't get it but he feels "different" when Lee's next to him, he feels happy but nervous inside what makes him afraid of getting out of control somehow.

Sometimes Lee tried to get closer to him physically and Gaara used his sand. Kinda hurted Lee (but he didn't mind at all) that made Gaara horrified and even worried, apologizing for 100 times at least, Lee thinks that's cute.

Lee keeps insisting on talking to him patiently asking some personal questions as old friends would do, like how is it to live in the sand, how Gaara sees his siblings today, what being a kazekage means to him..

And Gaara answers rightly and honestly. He really evolved since years ago, what made Lee very proud.

So they started to get closer and Gaara's insecurities one day disappeared completely next to Lee. He started to count on Lee when he wanted to talk about sensitive subjects, so they were emotionally connected.

 A shower? Thermal baths? No idea, I just wanted to draw him like this~~ 👀👀❤❤❤

Team Gai is my fav team in Naruto. I llooooovee them so much; they seem close, especially after watching SD. I used to not really notice TenTen  or Team Gai that much, but that changed after I started watching SD. From that, I realized how much Team Gai cares for each other a lot, and they became my fav team (especially with the SD ending 1)! Not to mention Naruto shippuden ending 15 too!!!! :D I LOVE THEIR DYNAMICS!! Here’s some Team Gai fics I like!

Sweet but a little melancholic? Heartwarming and Angsty at the same time? IDK, these fics seem to have a more serious tone compared to the silly ones mentioned later

Something Like Family Series by slash4femme- Pre-shippuden Team Gai bonding together as told in Neji’s POV. Close to Home is before the chunin exam;  Days Before the Fall is right before Sasuke leaves. Features some Kakagai and Team 7 too. Ugh, Gai is such a sweetheart!! I love him. ^^

Lessons by ChavreJuane- Vignettes of Team Gai growing closer to one another and the lessons they’ve learnt. Man, my babies have grown!

‘The Miracle Team’ by grassyhyuuga- Summary is: “Team Gai doesn’t believe in miracles. And that suits them just fine.” I read this fic and was like dayum. For real, I know Team Gai is treated like comic relief most of the time, but this shows how badass they and their dedication could really be.  There’s so much potential with them...

Still Life in Pale Green by forgetme- Okay, so this is a Kakagai fic, BUT there’s some stuff related to Gai, TenTen, Lee, and Neji that really stood out to me, and I’m just reminded of their bond! I rreeallly loved that particular scene.

your hard work and fervor up to now and the future by forgetme- I like Kakagai a lot. this is a Kakagai fic, but it also has a bit of team Gai in it. I especially love Neji’s conversation with Gai here.  

hair by valcrie- Tenten’s thoughts while Neji dies. Tenten loves her boys in Team Gai so much. :’( This one is prob full on angst, I guess.

Silly, Lighthearted fics that made me laugh

Celebration by theJammys- omg, this is hilarious and honestly I feel so bad for Neji, Lee, and TenTen. After getting promoted, the three students follow tradition and celebrate by getting a meal together. BUT, what happens is they get food poisoning, crash at Gai’s place, and Gai sensei ends up taking care of them. But, hey, that’s one memorable bonding experience right?

Sexy Flexing With An Eggplant by theJammys- Another hilarious fic that made me burst out laughing! It’s an AU LeeGaa/GaaLee fic where Lee tries to woo his neighbor, Gaara, at the supermarket. Lee sucks at it, and gets the help of his roommates/ friends: TenTen and Neji! All the interactions are so humorous!!

Trying Promises by gladdecease- A cute fic where Team Gai goes to Suna for the Chunin Exams! Features some Gaara and Lee moments. imo, the best parts are Lee’s interaction with Gaara, but the whole dynamics with NejiLeeTenten and Gaara is quite funny too.
