A deathfic with the song 'Hurt' by Christina Aguilera. Ever since the chuunin exams, Lee had not been the most fond of Gaara. Ever since the Chuunin exams, Gaara had fallen for Lee. Its in Lee's point of view.
"Ever since the chuunin exams, Lee had not been the most fond of Gaara. Ever since the Chuunin exams, Gaara had fallen for Lee. He loved Lee so much he died for him, he saved Lee from death, from dying to Orochimaru. I always feared my brother, but I never realized how much of a fool I was. All Gaara wanted was a friend. All he wanted was love... Acceptance. He never got it." Kankurou sobbed as we payed our respects to the former Kazekage. Today was the day of his funeral. Today was the day of the sadness of Suna's citizens, as well as many others. Even though they feared, they supported and loved him as a kazekage and a person.
Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
"Mother told me... w-when she was d-dying from giving b-birth to Gaara... She told me to protect him... re-regardless of wanting him or not... she told me to be his friend... to be his loved one... I never listened... because of my stupid fear, I lost the chance of a relationship with my brother... and lost the chance to help mother." Nara Temari sobbed silently as she ran to her husband, Shikamaru. Her children were crying at the loss of their uncle... Of Gaara. He would enjoy playing with them when he got the chance, and they would enjoy being with him.
I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
"Gaara was just like me... Alone, wanting love, acceptance, as Kankurou said... I wished that I could've been able to help him... He never wanted to hurt, but he envied the love that everyone hid from him... He wanted to be loved by his own family... Even if it was two people... He never admitted to people he was gay or bi... He thought that people would reject him more then himself just being a jinchuuriki... The kin of a demon. He never knew that people loved him for who he was. No one would accept him... Not even the one he longed to hold and love... Lee." Naruto said as he cried, and glared at me. "You... you bastard... Why did you have t...to hurt G-Gaara like that!?" He yelled at me.
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you but I know you won't be there
"He never meant to hurt me... He never meant to hurt Sasuke-kun either. He only wanted the thing that we all shared with everyone else. He was betrayed by the one whom he thought he loved. His heartbreak was too much for him to handle. Any one who feared him was an idiot. Even I myself am an idiot for fearing someone who's intentions should've been simple. He was so young... He should've had friends... should've had love." Sakura said as she walked down to Sasuke. He had been returned by Gaara, Naruto and a few others.
I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just want to hide 'cause it's you I miss
You know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this
Now it was my turn. I was glared at by many. "I remember when he tried to kill me... I was stupid. I never wanted to love him, after he ruined me... But I never knew that all he wanted was love. I can tell you that simply. I should've listened to what he said before he died... I know that I am the reason he took the blow for me... I know he died because of me... I should've..."
Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
-flashback-
"Lee... I promise I will protect you... I just ask you one thing... Do you love me?" Gaara asked me, as they sat at the ramen shop. We had defeated Kimimaro. He had protected me then, he saved me.
"I am sorry, Gaara, but I only like you." I lied.
"I see. I have to go." He said as he left.
-End Flashback-
There's nothing I wouldn't do To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back
"I shouldn't have rejected him... He was so young, he didn't have to suffer that kind of pain..." I said as I felt pain in my heart.
I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
"He wanted acceptance, he wanted companionship... We all kept that from him... but I... I kept him from feeling true love... from feeling the feeling that you get when you cuddle with a lover at the night, when its cold..." I looked at Gaara's peaceful look as he continue to lie in the coffin. I longed for Gaara to spring up from the coffin and say something Chiyo-baasama would, like 'Just kidding!' But this time... it was real. Gaara would never come back.
If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that
I've missed you since you've been away
-Flashback-
'This is how I die... I know it.' I thought as Orochimaru got ready to stab me in the heart. Strangely, I never felt it. I looked up, and his eyes widened.
"G...Gaara??" Gaara, at the same time he was stabbed, stabbed Orochimaru in the head with Shukaku's spear.
"T...tell me Lee... Do... you love... me... now? I always... have..." Gaara said as blood gushed from his chest to my hands.
"Gaara... I know you loved me... and I... I..." Gaara collapsed on me. Gaara's eyes wide open, blood gushed from his mouth to my shirt. Gaara never heard the answer.
-End Flashback-
Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line to try to turn back time
"His name was Gaara, he died two days ago... He loved me so much he gave his life for mine... And... I loved him... And... I am sorry for... for how I've... I've tortured him..." Gaara's coffin was lowered into the ground. I walked over to the hole, and a warm tear fell on the tombstone. Then Gaara was buried. He was silenced. Forever.
I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
I finally realized that I was crying. I finally realized that I was an idiot, and that I was crying for my love. I was crying for Gaara.
