Gaara was still at his desk late at night when Temari decided she'd had enough and she was going home. Tonight, Kankuro too decided to go home with her.
Gaara wanted to stay and do more work. He knew if he went home he wouldn't be able to sleep anyway. Lately he had been feeling pathetic; unable to sleep without her, staying awake for hours thinking of her. He found this behaviour disturbing. He didn't like the thought that he was dependant on another for peace of mind.
But he couldn't escape it; without her he felt useless and distracted. He wanted to work more to keep his mind off her, and his strange feebleness.
Temari stood by the door and stared at him for a second before rapping her knuckles against the doorframe.
"Gaara, go home." She said. Gaara looked up and peered at her, but made no move. "I'm serious." She told him. "You need to come home with us right now. I will not allow you to spend another night in the office. This is getting seriously unhealthy. You need to take a break."
Gaara sighed and nodded. "Yes alright. Just wait a minute and I'll walk with you guys." He pushed himself up from his desk and after tidying a bit joined Temari and Kankuro outside.
He took a deep breath of the cool night air as he stepped outside. It was a nice night; he hoped she was out inn the city somewhere, enjoying it as well. He wanted her to love Suna. He wanted her to stay.
That's what he wanted. He just wanted her to stay with him.
