Naruto was seriously starting to feel nauseous, just following with his eyes the circles Gaara was doing over and over - soon there would be a trench in that point of the corridor, he was sure - was making him dizzy... the monstrous amount of alcohol he had consumed during the New Year's Eve party up until an hour before might actually have something to do with the nausea, but considering how fast the Kyuubi usually got rid of any saké he downed it was only a matter of time before any remants disappeared from his body. Gaara on the other hand had scarcely touched his wine (or anything alcoholic) and now he was walking from one end of the corridor to the other, arms crossed and fist clenching and unclenching - he was the embodiment of nervousness. "Gaara, come sit down, please, you're giving me a headache..." the red-haired ignored him, "Hah... C'mon Gaara, your sister will be fine and Shika's there with her." Finally his lover sat down, still with his arms locked across his chest, and Naruto rested a hand gently on the other's tight, smiling at him and kissing the red tattoo on the pale forehead; Gaara seemed to calm down a little. —It was more than six hours later that Naruto and Gaara were allowed into Temari's hospital room, the woman was cradling a small bundle of blankets with a tired yet radiant smile; the red-haired stepped close and his sister offered him the bundle, letting her brother greet his niece for the first time... Naruto stood there, close to the door, observing quietly his lover holding the tiny new life with the most serene and happy expression he had ever seen on Gaara's face.
