The sun was setting over the Suna sand banks as Gaara lifted his beloved bridal-style, and kicked their front door open. Cradling his most precious person in his chiseled and muscular arms, he made his way up the stairs and into Hinata's bedroom, where he placed his hime gently on the bed.

Waiting around in the hospital all day had made Hinata terribly weary, she was barely able to keep her eyes open as they were making their way home.

Gaara gazed down at the sleeping beauty as she tucked her into bed. She was wearing the silk midnight blue nightie Gaara had previously packed for her for her stay in that god forsaken hospital. But she was home now, and that's all that mattered.

Gaara kissed her on her forehead and turned to leave the room with a small lump in his throat, when he felt something grab his hand. He turned back around to be greeted by large white-opal orbs gazing up at him from the bed.

"Please don't go," Hinata muttered, "stay with me tonight, I don't want to be alone."

His jade eyes stared deeply into her pearl ones as the lump in his throat grew larger. Was he ready for this? Could he keep himself under control? It's his duty to protect her, but what if he's the one that ends up hurting her again?.. Doubtful questions raced through the Kazekage's mind a mile a second. But he couldn't deny those pleading eyes.

Gaara gingerly nodded as he took off his jacket and threw it over the chair at her dressing table. He made his way over to the other side of the bed and crawled under the sheets to meet his hime.

Gaara scooped his fiancée's beautiful but fragile body up into his strong and muscular arms with one comforting sweep. He tucked her head under his chin and began to twirl the ends on her hair with his fingers and he felt her snuggle in closer to his embrace.

Soon enough the room was drenched in moonlight that flooded through the delicate net curtains that hung from the window to the left of them. Gaara had fallen asleep and was snoring lightly. Hinata bathed in his warmth as her head lifted up and down in time with his chest as he breathed. She didn't feel tired at all anymore. She moved closer to Gaara, intertwining one of her legs with his as he continued to sleep. The back of her right hand stroked his left cheek as she gazed upon his masculine beauty.

She couldn't take it anymore.

With the support of her left arm on the mattress she lifted herself up slightly and leaned towards her fiancée. His face was directly below her own and her hair draped mostly behind her back, but some locks fell over her shoulders and rested either side of Gaara's head.

Her right hand was now tenderly cupping his left cheek as she slowly lowered her head and pursed her sweet pink lips and pressed them against his.

Gaara grunted abruptly awake, a typical trait a highly trained shinobi, which made Hinata giggle. "Are you okay Hinata? Are you in pain? Do you want me to summon a doctor for you?" Gaara asked the angel who was looking down at him, as he sat up a little and gently slid his right hand under her hair, resting it on the back of her neck.

"No I'm fine. I just couldn't sleep. I didn't mean to scare you, it..it's just that you were looking so peaceful, I couldn't help myself.. I just wanted to kiss you."

Gaara rubbed his eyes with his left hand in an attempt to make his vision less blurred; and also to give himself some thinking time as for what he should do next. He let his eyes focus on the girl who was now kneeling; leaning over him. One of the spaghetti straps on her nightie had fallen off her shoulder, and the moon light that was flooding the room reflected off her hair. Gaara cupped her cheek and pulled her down to continue the kiss she had started.

He held her close as they let the world around them fade, concentrating only on each other. It was the most blissful moments of Gaara's life and he wished he could continue as he forced himself to gently pull away. He gazed at her and he tucked the stray locks of hair behind her ear. "I missed you." He murmured. "Never leave me like that again."

"Never again." She replied in a half-yawn and she tucked her face into the crook of Gaara's neck. Breathing him in as she closed her eyes.

"Try and get some sleep. You need your strength for our visitors tomorrow." Gaara said and he wrapped his arms around her, stroking her hair softly until she fell asleep.

Who is coming to visit them? Is Gaara finally going to meet his resolve to spend some passion on the woman he loves?
