What would you say is your most controversial gaalee take?
I don’t really know how to answer this cause for me they’re just…them I guess? I can list some Hcs and then let my takes be judged by the fandom court ig.
-I think they’re kind of on the ace-spectrum. They are intimate but they don’t feel a strong desire or want for it, yknow. They’re happy just being next to the other
-They write to eachother and Lee’s scrolls always come back smelling like the mint tea he’s fond of while Gaara’s smell like coffee.
-They stargaze a lot! When they finally have everything settled with the boys (cause Shinki and Metal are older when they officially get back together) they all watch the night sky. It actually gets to a point where if Shinki misses Metal or Lee he just goes to the palace roof and pretends he’s watching the stars with them
-Gaara is a horrible sleeper. Like that’s canon. The first time he got an actual, deep REM cycle sleep was the first time him and Lee shared a bed. The weight of having someone next to him that would protect him made it easier to relax.
-On that note, Lee snores. Loud. But once again, it reminds Gaara that someone is next to him so he actually rather enjoys it.
-Gaara flattens his hair (the only way I can make sense of that style in Boruto) to look more put together and older for political business but it’s still very much fluffy. He’ll fight with it in the morning and Lee thinks his look of pure concentration taming his hair is adorable.
-(Metal also has to tame his hair because of the natural part being down the center. So him and Gaara will be in that bathroom for a while and Shinki and Lee are both “brush it/run my hands through it and I’m good” kind of people.)
-Lee is actually the bookworm of the two. Gaara reads for understanding and knowledge gathering but when your job is just reading a shit ton of paperwork all day, the last thing you want to do is read even more. Lee however is a very avid reader and will devour books in one sitting. He just gets so enraptured by the story that he can’t put it down. (RIP Rock Lee. You would have hated booktok)
-Now then….one take I have. Sandy, cover your eyes. *inhale* they have broken up once. Gaara is very dedicated to his village as is Lee, so when things started to get serious, Gaara had to sit down and try to rationalize how this could work. He knew Lee wanted to get married but he also knew that Lee was dedicated to the Hidden Leaf and he couldn’t step down as Kazekage. So, the next time Gaara was in the Leaf would be his last time he spent with Lee. It was the longest month for them both but they didn’t want it to end. Even though it was mutual, they both didn’t actually want to be apart and continued to wait for each other without realizing it.
-When they had first started dating, Lee had gotten him a set of turquoise earrings because of how they matched his eyes. But when they broke up, Gaara gave Lee one of them and kept the other stashed away with one of the first scrolls Lee had ever sent him. When they got back together, Gaara started to wear it again.
-Gaara calls Lee Hayati, which translates to “my life” in Arabic. Lee calls Gaara Xīn Shàng rén in turn, which translates to “sweetheart” or “one’s beloved” in Chinese. (If my research has not failed me. Will happily be corrected on this!)
And uhhh…yea. That’s it. Thanks for reading.
