Summary: After receiving news of Gaara’s death, you rush home immediately after completing your mission. You were completely unaware of the fact that your fiance was alive until you saw it for yourself. The gentle moments that Gaara provided was something that you desperately needed after being away for so long, and he was more than happy to have you home.
Warnings: FLUFF like hella fluff, my shit writing, shortness of a story
~~~~
Hey guys! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!🤗🤗🤗 I know I mostly write for BNHA and Haikyuu but I’ve had this idea in my head for a while and honestly speaking I wanted to turn it into a smut but decided against it. I don’t even know if people still like Naruto or watch it LOL. But I had to write it. Please enjoy the sickeningly sweet Gaara that I wrote, and I hope I didn’t make him too OC😭😭😭 I wanted to try this out because I want to broaden my works just a bit, I will be opening up requests again, I’ll give an update on that soon! ANYWAY. Please enjoy and let me know what you guys think😊😊😊
~~~~
The door slammed open, startling everyone in the meeting. Your eyes rapidly flickered across every face until they landed on the one that mattered most to you.
 The tightness in your chest lifted instantly, relief rushing into your lungs as you gasped for breath you hadn’t even realized you were holding.
 Tears stung at your eyes; your lower lip trembled as you watched his figure rise from the chair to make his way towards you.
 The hushed sound of voices was drowned out by your racing heart, your blurry eyes stared into familiar seafoam green ones. 
 He was alive.
 He wasn’t dead.
 He was here.
 “Y/n.” Cold, rough fingers reached for your hand, gently grasping them. The familiar touch caused a loud sob to escape your lips, your body all but collapsed against him. You clung to his clean robes, gripping at the front tightly as you buried your face against his strong chest, his familiar scent seeping into your nose.
 You breathed him in completely as you sobbed helplessly against him. The suppressed emotions that you were feeling while on your mission finally released, spilling out of you like an overfilled cup. 
 “Gaara.” You cried. “What - How - Why did you -” you couldn’t even form a proper sentence right now.
 He hushed you gently, his grip on you tightened, his hand rubbed against your back soothingly.
 Both of you were completely unaware of the people leaving the room, shooed away by Kankuro. He knew that his brother would want some alone time right now. After all, you were gone on this mission for months, you had missed everything. 
 The room was all but silent except for your crying that was slowly beginning to diminish, the soft shushing and comfort that Gaara was providing easily soothed your hysteria. 
When your crying had finally turned into soft hiccups, Gaara grabbed at your shoulders, gently pulling you away from his body. 
 “Let me look at you.” He murmured quietly, his eyes scanning over your body. A soft frown began to coat his lips as he took in your battered form. 
 There weren’t any life-threatening injuries, at least not anymore from the looks of it. 
 His expression softened though as he watched you wipe away your tears, sniffling quietly to yourself.
 You were one of the finest Anbu in Sunagakure, and yet you could be reduced to a blubbering mess right before Gaara’s eyes, it was entirely amusing.
 “Welcome home.” he breathed out, leaning down to press a gentle kiss to your forehead. 
 “I got the scroll.” you said quietly, staring at his robes rather than his face, “They said…” tears started gathering at the corners of your eyes again. “Gaara you were dead… I don’t understand.” 
 “I’ll explain everything. I promise.” he said quietly. “Just come here. I haven’t seen you in months.” he pulled you back into his arms, hugging you tight to his chest.
 In the midst of your panic, you had forgotten about that. You had been sent away on a mission, you were gone for four months. The mission had taken longer than you had predicted, it also didn’t help that in the middle of it you had received a scroll stating that your fiance was kidnapped and was dead.
 But as an Anbu, you were sworn to finish what you had started, so you did; with a heavy heart. It had taken much longer to finish everything after the devastating news.
 It felt as if you had died as well, the emptiness… the pain… it was all too much. 
 You had been betrothed to Gaara since the moment you guys were born. Fated to be together, alway by one another.
 Despite the hardships, despite the way that Gaara used to be… you were always there. When he was called a monster, when he had killed countless people, when Shukaku was released… you were always there. Ready to protect and defend him.
 You were indebted to Naruto. He had saved him when you couldn’t, and because of that, your relationship with Gaara bloomed into what it was now.
 The unconditional love and devotion Gaara provided you was something that no one had anticipated. The gentle looks and touches were entirely foreign to you and to everyone else who witnessed it.
 But his gentleness was completely sought after the first time you had a taste of it. This was how it was supposed to be, arranged marriage aside, you guys loved each other unconditionally.
 Gaara knew that too, he was well aware of the pain and fear he had inflicted on you in your guys’ younger years. He hated himself because of it. He had hurt the one person that stood by him the most, the one person that never looked at him in fear, or with hate. When he had finally come to his senses, he had feared that you were finally going to leave him. 
 You never did. He was helplessly in love with you, something that he had never realized until after the first time he was able to sleep in such a long time, and you were right there by his side. 
 “You shouldn’t have sent me away.” you whispered, cupping his face gently after he had finished telling you what you had missed during your mission. “If I had remained by your side then you wouldn’t have gone through all of that.”
 You were personally going to kill every Akatsuki member now. 
 He shook his head, moving his face to press a soft kiss into the palm of your hand. “It had to be you; you were the only one capable of making sure that the mission was completed properly. The Council and I had decided on it. But…” he frowned slightly, gently rubbing his thumb against the dirt sticking to your cheek. “If it were up to just me… I would never have you leave my side. You know I worry.”
 Your lips parted at his sweet words; warmth seeped into your very being as he gazed at you with nothing but love in his beautiful eyes.
 “I’m sorry to interrupt your reunion, but we really need to finish up this meeting Gaara…” Kankuro suddenly poked his head through the door, smiling sheepishly at you. “It’s good to have you back Y/n-chan. Gaara was moody the entire time you were away.”
 A soft smile tugged at your lips; your soon to be brother-in-law was always a joy to have around. 
 “Kankuro.” Gaara said simply, the older male held his hands up in surrender, stating that he was just joking around. 
 “I’ll see you at home,” You said, reluctantly pulling yourself away from the redhead. “I dropped my report off at the front by the way.” you pressed a soft kiss against his cheek, giving him a loving smile before walking passed Kankuro and the Council members who were standing awkwardly in the hall.
 A shower and warm meal were calling your name.
 ****
 Gaara sighed softly as he quietly closed the door behind him, today was a long day, and quite honestly, all he wanted to do was curl up against your soft body and sleep. After the encounter in his office, you were the only thing he could think about the entire day.
 His expression softened completely as he took notice of your sleeping form on the sofa. You were curled, your legs pulled to your chest, your hands tucked under your cheek, your lips parted softly as you breathed.
 You were beautiful, and you were all his.
 He hated sending you away on long dangerous missions like this one, fear ate away at his heart every single time. Gaara couldn’t lose you, he couldn’t bear the thought. 
 You were the last thing he thought of before he had died, and the first thing he thought of when he woke up.
 Now that you were finally home, he never wanted you out of his sight again. 
 He sat on the sofa near your legs, gently brushing the hair away from your face before cupping your cheek. You stirred awake immediately, eyes fluttering open as you scanned the room before landing on the man you loved the most.
 “Mmm… welcome home Gaara.” You breathed out, stretching out your body. 
 Gaara’s body warmed entirely at your welcome, a phrase he had missed dearly when you were away. He was home when you were by his side.
 “Let’s go to bed.” he said softly, standing up completely now. His pale hand stretched out for you to grab, waiting patiently as you shuffled to your feet. 
 A soft smile grazed his lips as he watched you flop onto your shared bed; you wiggled yourself under the blankets, sighing in content.
 Your eyes drooped once more in exhaustion before finally closing. It was only when familiar arms snaked across your body that you woke up once more. 
 Gaara pulled you softly against his chest, sighing in content as he buried his face into your neck, breathing in your sweet scent.
 “I missed you.” You breathed out quietly, carefully rotating your body to face your fingers dragged carefully against the side of his face, watching as his eyes fluttered shut at your touch.
 The gentle glow of a full moon was your only source of light as it beamed through your open window.
 How was he so beautiful?
 “I missed you too.” He said quietly, he leaned forward, gently brushing his cool lips against yours before finally capturing them in a desperate kiss.
 You sighed softly, your arms wrapping around his neck as you pressed yourself as close to his body as possible. Your fingers tangled into his soft locks, your lips moving tenderly against his.
 It was a kiss that spoke volumes of the gentle love you both felt for one another. It was a kiss that was long overdue, a kiss that both of you needed.
 Gaara was still getting used to intimate touches, but kisses, he loved those entirely. He loved you entirely.
 This was home.
 You were home.

If Xanxus died and was reborn as Uzumaki Naruto, who would he assemble as his new guardians?
Oh wow, if you were expecting cheer and good manners then you’d be disappointed. Because Xanxus growing up in Naruto’s childhood… where child soldiers are the norm, the government is a tyrannical lie, history is subject and genocide happened in the middle of town.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, looking at the young ninja of the leaf. Per usual, there was a permanent scowl, a sense of impatient hostility and restrained violence. The feathers and beads in his hair really weren’t worth noticing other than the fact that he wore them and made him look wild, especially in conjunction with the whiskers. It would be more intimidating a look if the whiskered cheeks were less round with childhood still clinging to his face.
Uzumaki Naruto took after his father in looks and intelligence and his mother in terms of chakra capacity and had her drive in face of adversity.
His temper and general personality however seemed to been shaped by the less than ideal treatment of the villagers. Naruto had a suspicious, nasty mind that didn’t trust easily, if at all. Hiruzen had jonin that trusted more easily. More to the point, his personality was blunt, coarse and unforgiving in general. The less said about how short a fuse his temper had the better; he could control it, but training grounds afterward had needed remodeled when he finally let it loose. Some property of his chakra could cause immense destruction; the sort that seemingly removed trees and training equipment from existence and not by turning it to ash.
The young ninja had graduated early and proved himself well enough to have earned a vest. Currently just a chunin vest, but Hiruzen didn’t want the young ninja to be so distant from his age-cohort in rank for all that they were recent graduates. Most of those that Naruto spent time with were the more specialized tokujo.
Part of his reluctance might be from the fact that the last time he had promoted and trusted someone so much at such an early age had gone on to kill all his clan. And the others that had been promoted so early while capable ninja were not the most whole human beings.
“What’cha got old man?” The blond drawled. He sounded bored. Obviously he was looking for a mission and was impatient for one.
“What are you in the mood for?” Hiruzen asked, curious.
There’s a pause and consideration; Naruto would take any assigned, but had an affinity for the bloodier, more clandestine missions than his general temperament would suggest.
“Escort, if I can have my pick of people preferably.” In other words, he wanted to be out of the village and around people he wanted to be around for at least a week. Choosing Genma was a good sign, Raido meant that someone was probably going to die, Anko would be a sign to expect moderate property damage and there were worse signs.
“Asuma-sensei, when are we going to take a C-rank? Sasuke-kun’s team would have if their third member hadn’t come down with the flu. I want to prove my worth as a kunoichi!”
“Them.”
And that was the worst sign. Playfulness.
“Hey! I know you! I’ve seen you around my dad sometimes!”
“Uzumaki Naruto. Chunin of three years. Your team and your sensei will be with me on a C-rank of the Hokage’s choice.”
“How troublesome.” The young Nara groused.
Hiruzen mentally agreed with the young ninja; Uzumaki Naruto was angling for something and the best that Hiruzen could figure that to be was Hokage. Few other chunin had rotated through all of the village’s various departments such as the barrier squad, the police force that was instituted after the death of all but two Uchiha, the code-breakers and included a small stint in the academy as a teacher’s aide while one of the chunin was out for maternity leave.
That sort of rotation and dedication gave Uzumaki Naruto a basic understanding of most of the village. The best thing that came from that was a lot of connections around the village who thought well of his dedication and skills and the fact that Naruto actually had a friend his own age: Kurama Yakumo. Who was Team 7′s third member that had been laid out with the flu.
Yakumo had a prodigious genjutsu talent but had a frail body. She had been given to Kakashi as a student in light of Kurenai’s earlier failure with Yakumo as a student -the failure that Uzumaki Naruto knew of because he had been a friendly acquaintance of Kurenai’s back when she was teaching at the academy as a chunin. They even had nicknames for each other, although the meaning of the names was lost on Hiruzen and all observers.
Kakashi had been for failing this team as well but Sasuke’s decision to feed his teammate bound to the log had given Kakashi the sign that his team would care and fight for each other with all the strength the will of fire could give. It showed that Uchiha Sasuke still had empathy for others and a disregard for stupid orders. The sort of stupid orders that would be killing all your relatives.
Seeing no harm in humoring this decision, Hiruzen agreed with Naruto’s not-request.
“C-rank to Wave. Escorting Tazuna back home and protecting the bridge until it’s finished.”
Izzy accidentally fic’d.
Storm: Tenten or Neji
Sun: Lee? This is where lack of characters strikes. Because not many shown strike me as Suns. Hana? Genma?
Lightning: Ino
Rain: Genma or Raido
Mist: Yakumo
Cloud: Anko
Generally speaking, I’d prefer Xanxus/Naruto not to bond with peers aka Naruto’s age-mates. Because Xanxus/Naruto is mentally older/more experienced. Also a lot more damaged in some ways. But that’s where Naruto’s limited cast of characters acts up. Hence Yakumo the Mist, Yakumo being from an anime filler.
Storms are all about aggressive attack: Neji and Tenten both are like that.
Suns are considered ‘flashy’ but well, Anko is eccentric. Not flashy like Lee and Gai. Hana is understated flashy but three hounds compared to the usual one… Also Genma is pretty and does flashy things with senbon sometime.
Ino is the exception to the ‘not age-mates’ rule if only because the nature of her Clan techniques means a lot more mental exp from a lot of people. Later anyway. At the moment, teasing her is like teasing the shark and is fun.
Rains are supposed to be a calming influence. Genma is one because on a team between Gai and high-strung Ebisu someone had to be the calm one. Raido because I like Raido and he has a sword and specializes in assassination.
Mist is Yakumo. Where obviously the Kurama Clan has Mist Flames as their ‘kekkai genkai.’
Clouds don’t really care about social convention, so much as getting what they want. Which is Anko all over.
Xanxus/Naruto can still use Wrath Flames but anyone that asks gets ‘special chakra’ or ‘a twist to yin release’ as an answer. Which is true in a fashion.
Xanxus/Naruto is rather sympathetic to fox; points out it could be worse. Fox could be frozen. Not exactly best buds but moderately friendly.
Other things aka plot in case someone wants to adopt. Because I’m not going to have time to write this or thing about doing so any time soon.
Wave Mission is coached to Team 10 as ‘part of my eval to special-jonin’ and ‘revised some of the qualifications needed to promote in light of past events.’
One of the Demon bros get captured by Team 10, the other by Xanxus/Naruto. In the fight against Zabuza, Zabuza’s sword suffers a malfunction against Wrath Flames. Poor sword. Zabuza switches it to a ninjutsu fight. Against a shinobi who can just obliterate techniques with Wrath. It doesn’t go well. Haku intervenes. Asuma is third-wheeling like a pro.
Gato catches a case of death before Zabuza on the bridge. Gato’s minions then catch a case of death; it spreads fast. It even gets Zabuza because Asuma’s previously wounded him.
Haku isn’t happy. Haku is then given the choice to watch over Wave or come to the Leaf and join. Otherwise Xanxus/Naruto is happy to kidnap him, since Xanxus/Naruto’s keeping the sword so some shithead doesn’t steal it and put it to dishonorable use or something.
Xanxus gains Haku as a minion. Haku is a Rain, but lack of killer instinct puts him out of running of being Xanxus’ Rain, okay?
Ends up as a security peon in 2nd task. Clash with Orochimaru. Part of the Forest of Death ends up gone. Ends up getting bitten but well, Wrath Flames. Cursed Seal gets burned up. Doing so later to Anko has them bonding; it’s not a tight one but still enough.
Jiraiya shows up in Konoha but Xanxus is Not Amused. Jiraiya Earns Grudge. Hence why Jiraiya is not Sun-candidate.
Don’t care for the genin match-ups at the moment. Just know that Yakumo becomes chunin with Shika and Ino actually manages to progress to the finals by luck.
Gaara and Shukaku start acting up and well, not much stands up to Wrath. And well, demon in forest means no holding back. Xanxus mentally scars Shukaku into behaving and somehow Gaara finds sanity. Xanxus reveals that he plans to be Hokage one day. Is odd conversation.
(Xanxus is only a little miffed that Gaara’s the Kazekage at like fourteen. A little. Actually a lot pissed.)
Anyway, Jiraiya takes Xanxus to find Tsunade because strong shinobi needs to protect Kyuubi-container that can vaporize just about everything. Yay. Logic. Grudge grows stronger.
Also not impressed with Tsunade’s pity party of like twenty years. Because what would she do with the position? Rack up her debts more and send Konoha to bankruptcy?
Let’s just leave it as Xanxus has Plans. He just can’t do any of them because he’s twelve, freshly a special jonin and will be promoted to jonin for his 14th birthday.
Basically manipulates her into accepting the position. Because a ninja that can mentally scar a bijuu is good like that. Not sure how Tsunade’s fear of blood is dealt with but it is because that’s bullshit and Xanxus calls her out on it.
Anyway, due to Grudge, Xanxus is not letting Jiraiya take him off for two years doing fuck knows what. Ends up as Tsunade’s chosen successor from almost the get-go of Tsunade’s reign; which means dealing with lots of politics, renovating systems and diplomacy etc. Because benevolent tyrant position of power or not, you still have minions with power to keep content so they’ll do what you say willingly.
Chosen antagonist of these two years is going to be Danzo. Because no creepy seal on Sasuke but that doesn’t make Sasuke less of a person of interest. Because fancy eyes. Oh and somehow Sakura becomes less of a waste of space. Probably better than her part 2 canon self because ‘let’s send Sasuke away for his safety’ and Xanxus is nearby to keep her head on straight.
Although I should point out that Gaara puts up more of a fight against Akatsuki with Shukaku’s cooperation. It’s amazing what a little mental scarring to do. Or a lot. Deidara’s dick move is still dick move.
But anyway. Sasori’s puppets against Wrath. Wrath wins and then goes after Deidara. Because guess who has guns now bitch?
Deidara loses arm. Then he loses head. Gaara is revived.
The whole business with Orochimaru, Sai and Kabuto doesn’t happen because it’s not Sakura who kills Sasori and so gets ‘rewarded’ with the info. Sai is busy learning how to be human again because fuck Danzo that’s why. He dead, dead, dead. Dead.
Anyway, Sasuke gets back with Jiraiya because Jiraiya follows no schedule. Is the only genin of his year now because that’s hilarious.
Anyway, things progress. Zombie brothers get taken down, jinchuriki get their bijuu extracted, Sasuke kills Itachi and doesn’t end up in Madara’s hands. Jiraiya still dies but there’s no successor to the toad contract. Whoops. Kisame gets to hold off Xanxus and Yakumo and Lee, so is terrible match-up. Because Mist Flames aren’t chakra.
Zetsu ends up in a ranged illusion and then ends up shot. Black Zetsu somehow escapes.
Pain happens to Konoha. Wrath happens to Pain. Because it is hard to regenerate and control puppets if the chakra receivers aren’t conducting because they’re not there. Vaporized. Grudge against Jiraiya is validated, Konan lives, Nagato almost dies but well, Xanxus says fuck that. You’re going to atone properly and not suicide your way out of your mess.
Someone attempts at the eight-tails and so the kage meeting happens. Sasuke has no reason to cause a scene as he’s chilling in Konoha but Tobito has reason and attacks with the white Zetsu sparking off the 4th Shinobi War.
Xanxus takes advantage of Kyuubi’s cooperation and Sky property of Harmony to pick out Zetsu and vaporize them.
Orochimaru decides to defect over to the Shinobi side over the Akatsuki side and Xanxus gets a lecture in Sage Mode and how to use. Kabuto has been convinced to go to the Akatsuki side somehow, so is now enemy who has no problem with edo tensai-ing every fucking one. Tobito might have broke his mind or something.
Anyway Madara’s the big bad bitch until Nagato makes him dead again. Nagato’s got Rinnegan exp over his ass. Tobito is pretty much down for the count and then comes Zetsu.
And after comes Wrath, preventing bunny goddess from being reborn or revived because Zetsu is obliterated properly this time.
People go home, rebuild and Xanxus puts his plans into action so Konoha will remain strong long after he passes on.
And in the afterlife, he hunts down Byakuran and punches him. In the face. Repeatedly.
