Patient Patient - The Morning Benders. Good band I say.
They were in bed together again, and this time Gaara wasn't nearly as drunk as he had been the last time, though he was starting to wish he was.
"And then, just as I was starting to close the door this guy takes a running jump to get through... and I slammed it shut on him!" Sakura whispered to Gaara, laughing. She had been rambling and giggling for what felt like hours, since they had gone to bed. She was just as drunk as the last time they had been in this situation, and in high spirits. Being drunk also seemed to make her rather clingy – she was trying to share Gaara's pillow with him, and was nearly laying on top of him in an effort to get closer to his ear so she could share her secrets.
How he wished he had had more to drink.
Sakura hugged him suddenly, crossing the line. Gaara turned and tried to pull her arms from him, but found he couldn't budge her.
"You're going to be okay I promise." Sakura told him, in her comforting drunk voice. "You don't need to be scared; we'll get through this."
Gaara was silent. She was in a dangerous position, and he felt it was better not to say anything, not to move.
"I'm sorry it's taking so long." She sighed, and Gaara noticed with a start that she was actually crying.
He pushed her off and somehow managed to get her to lie still on her own side of the bed. "It's really not worth crying over." He told her. "You're the one who shouldn't worry so much. Just go to sleep."
Sakura nodded and closed her eyes obediently. Gaara breathed a sigh of relief and rolled over onto his side of the bed. The mattress was more comfortable than the couch for sure, but he was glad he only had to sleep there when Ino came over, or he would never get any sleep.
