She didn't care that they would never be able to sleep together like normal couples do. She didn't mind – she rarely saw him as it was.
He didn't care either – the bed he had and she had would probably collapse with the weight of the two of them. So technically, sleeping together was impossible.
She didn't care about hearing about his dreams, with his life being as it was, they would probably be full of torture, neglect, and death.
Nor did she care about curling up with Gaara or the couch or at the beach or on a beach.
Gaara didn't care about wrapping his arms around her waist and falling asleep with his head resting soundly on top of hers – he was never that affectionate in the first place, why would he suddenly start when they were sleeping? He didn't have the guts.
Most of all, Shizen didn't mind about waking up and watching Gaara sleep – she already knew that he did it to her.
They didn't care about Gaara's insomnia – it just gave Shizen one more reason to love Gaara more… and that was all that mattered.
Hopefully you knew who 'Shizen' (the OC in the story) was. If not, you can find more about her in Eyes Like Fire. She also makes a star appearance in 'Hong Kong' and plays a minor role in 'This Is A Low.' She is also /briefly/ mentioned in 'Every Planet We Reach Is Dead' . (If you squint REALLLLLLY hard, you can see what I mean)
