Rapid movement was a very stupid idea. Frowning, Gaara immediately stood up and pressed his other hand to Luke’s chest, firmly pushing him back down onto the bed. What the hell was he thinking, behaving so rashly like that? (Then again, to be perfectly frank, he had come to expect this type of action from Luke, given their prior amount of interaction.)
“Don’t be foolish,” he chided, all the while keeping his hand on that same area, to ensure that the idiot didn’t move again. In the meantime, his sand was off retrieving a glass of water to bring over to Luke. Surely his body was dehydrated, by this point. “Some of your muscles may have atrophied, during your comatose state.”
…Actually, did Luke even know what a coma was?
“You have been unconscious for approximately one month,” Gaara informed him in a cool and controlled tone. He paused briefly, and then followed up with, “Did you fall ill from contact withdrawal?”
Normally, he and Luke relied on each other to meet that requirement. Or at least, the ninja did, because he scarcely interacted with any individual, in general. Since Luke mentioned a couple of names before, Gaara presumed he had other sources to draw physical contact from, if he needed it.
