Only You

Sasuke shivered as snowflakes gently fell around him. He silently trudged the lonely road, enjoying the beauty of falling snow. No sound was heard since everyone was inside, dreaming of blissful things while sipping hot tea, their peaceful state of mind and warm homes making them sleepy. Except, of course, a certain teen bent on finding someone to ask directions from. It was pretty obvious that no one was in sight, and he sighed and plopped down on the snow to reconsider his sanity.

'Why did I insist that I could find my way to my mother's restaurant without a map?' Sasuke internally groaned.

He forlornly thought about his father's funeral a week ago. He had no living relatives to go to except for his mom, who had moved to New York City after the divorce. His dad had been too forceful with her, and her gentle temper had not been a good match for his father's strong, bitter, and cynical personality. His father had been rich, but after the divorce, he took up a habit of drinking every moment of the day, trying to drown his sorrows.

Sasuke's father had loved Sasuke's mother, and her calm aura had done him wonders, but his superiority complex had always made his words and actions harsher than necessary. He was brilliant at his work as a businessman, but many hated him bitterly. After the divorce, Sasuke's mother had wanted to take care of Sasuke, but without her husband's wealth, she could barely support herself, and she would definitely be unable to support both. She had still tried with her best efforts, but in the end, Sasuke had chosen his father. He knew, as young as he was, that his mother was still young, and could still live a happy life if he didn't weigh her down and burden her.

So, he had let her go with an aching heart, and watched as his father's drinking habits grew worse. 10 years later, his father had died in a car crash, and as a 16 year old, he still didn't have the ability to support himself. His father had had no friends, and he had long burned his mother's phone number to prevent himself from calling for help. His father's will had left all his money to him, but his position as CEO of the biggest business in South Hampton was soon taken. All of his father's workmates had turned up their nose at his current homeless state, so no help there. He had to find his mom, or die in this cruel, vengeful world.

He didn't want to burden her, but there was no choice. He had to start anew, but most of all, he needed some comforting. Going to his father's funeral, facing indirect hate from everyone in town, and being completely alone for the first time of his life had its toll on him. He didn't have any friends at school, and had always been lonely, but at least his father was in the house every once a week or so. He also didn't have any reason to stay in South Hampton.

'What should I do?' thought Sasuke wearily. 'My clothes are damp, I have absolutely no idea where I am, and my wallet was stolen. I put a lot of my money in there too.' He moaned in despair. 'I'm so screwed…'

"Hey, what are you doing?" asked a peppy, genuinely curious voice. Sasuke snapped up and stared directly into clear, sparkling, sky blue eyes.

"I'm Naruto, what's your name?"


Was that ok? Kinda short intro, huh? If you find a plot hole, please alert me. Leave a review about what could be a lot better! (Is this too short?)
