Gaara had settled into his duties but Pein had been pushed aside. Pein was no longer the most important thing in his life any more. The village and it's safety was and it only used Gaara's abilities against the world.
Pein saw it and kept it to himself as he mainly stayed in his solo room a distance from his beloved's bedroom. Pein watched Gaara every day debating wither or not to leave. To Pein it was evident Gaara had lied and used him much like the village was him. Not even two months after they moved in Pein and the Akatsuki left late one night while Gaara was sleeping. No one told Gaara nor did they intend on ever telling him.
One day a few weeks later Gaara was walking around the woods debating on which tree might be strong enough to hang himself from to end the loneliness. A twig snapped behind him and he paid it no mind just kept tapping trees around him pulling on branches and testing their strength.
"What's wrong all mighty Gaara?" A cocky voice asked behind one of the trees.
"That is of no one's concern but mine," he said without missing a beat or stopping what he was doing. Pein pulling the rope off his shoulder.
"Rope with a noose in it tells me other my love," Pein shrugged. "Now if you really are trying to kill yourself why not simply ask Naruto or Lee?"
"What do you want Pein?" Gaara didn't turn to look at him or even think about what he might do. He really wanted to turn around slap the bastard and then kiss him pinning him to a tree but that would never happen. Pein only used him for a re-supplier then left when he was ready and no longer needed him. Soft strong arms wrapped around him one around his chest the other around his waist.
"Hmm...I should ask that of you since you are in my woods again," Pein licked the crease of Gaara's neck.
A shiver of heat swept through Gaara as he tried to hold his composure. "You left the village without even a word. Why should I believe you even want me?" He managed to put some venom back into his voice before he melted into the warmth that he was longing for.
"You were ignoring me," Pein whispered in his ear then blew a warm breath in. Gaara lost it and all he could was lean on Pein whining for more.
Pein took Gaara's innocence there in the woods and then took Gaara to his new home in a cabin deeper. Deidara was excited to see a sleeping Gaara in Pein's arms and Pein in a better mood.
