“ hey ------ ?? “ gently taking eirene’s hand between two of his own , rock lee urges to her look him in the eyes . the bags under her eyes have DARKENED since he last saw her , their texture becoming WORSE and as she kept to her work . “ i know how IMPORTANT this is to you , and breakthroughs in your practice are ( extremely valuable ) to the field . however , i think that you should go home and REST . one good night’s sleep is better than a week of bed-ridden illness . “

“ ah , the fourth ... !! “ lee is taken aback , AWESTRUCK visage detailing his emotions as minato steps out of the council room . he had just gotten done with meeting NARUTO himself , and was PEERING over the railing to admire the street view from above . withdrawing from where he stood , he offered the ( former hokage ) a bow . “ i was not AWARE that you were back from your journey . it went well , yes ? “

smooches his cheek.
SUNAGAKURE again . his regular travels no longer make him WEARY , bones & muscle refreshed from a ( peaceful journey ) across countries ; customs know his FACE like the backs of their hands and the villagers have WARMED UP to his stays . aside from seeing his beloved KAZEKAGE , he spends as much time training as he does interacting with the locals . it’s like a second home to him —— as much as he would LOVE to stay at home in KONOHA and steal away gaara to live with him , it simply isn’t a choice . maybe ONE DAY he’ll come for a permanent stay . he SMILES , just thinking about it as his lover offers a warm reception . he leans down & presses an ( affectionate kiss ) to the redhead’s temple in return , fingers brushing LIGHTLY across feathery tresses as he SMILES against gaara’s head . “ i missed you … !! “
