Authors Note: This was inspired by a short gaalee comic I read by Luna. I thought it was really was beautiful. Really, really short, so it takes no time at all.
"Am I hurting you?" The question was asked in a hoarse whisper, not able to do much more. His pale scar less skin glistened with sweat. Jade eyes, surrounded by dark rings, stared into round, black eyes. Both hands were gripping the underside of each leg of his dark-haired lover, having been pushing deeper, but now staying still.
"NO." His question was answered in a voice equally hoarse, but the tone was lighter. More gasps rang out of the man beneath him. The pale man began to move within his lover again. So close to the edge, he still knew that his lover would not lie to him about something such as this.
"Then...why are you crying?" Because, from those incredibly dark eyes that spoke a thousand words a day, tears had welled up and overflowed.
His lover reached up and embraced him. Placing his face in the junction of his pale shoulder and his strong arms around his back, one hand twining into a head of hair that could be compared to the bloodiest of roses. His lover's hot breathe ran past his ear.
"we're...United." That was all his dark-skinned lover said to explain himself.
Later, after they had both climaxed and his lover had fallen asleep. The red-head looked into the sleeping face. That last word danced through his mind.
"...United" For Gaara of the sands, that was a strange concept. But with Lee by his side, he would do what he had to do to understand it. Hopefully, there would be many more moments in which they would be united.
