Christmas Time-
Summary-Naruto spends his Christmas thinking. Warnings: Angsty Drabble. Enjoy =^-^=
It was Christmas time again- the one holiday he would allow his mask to slip. Once people began to come for his birthdays- to celebrate the very fact that it he was born, not to torture his small body as the old villagers had. He though that having friends who showed him they cared- like they were a family was all he needed. So he should be fine just knowing that they are there. But tonight- just for tonight, that loving, caring feeling just wasn't enough.
His birthday had always been spent running-running from the mobs of drunken men out to beat him, running from the bottles being thrown at with such hostility, running from the verbal humiliation, just always running. Nonstop. Today, however, there was no running. No trying to stay alive. Today was simply a day to just sit and think.
Christmas never involved any plans. His friends always had plans with their lovers or family. All except him. He was left alone- no family to spend the day with and no money to go anywhere. So he just stays here all alone- all alone to think all about his past. About how his village hated him, how he grew up with no friends, when all he wanted was someone to talk to. He thought about how his now-comrades refused to talk to him unless it was to degrade him, and how his best friend almost killed him just for trying to help out. He kept thinking and thinking about all these negative this broke the last seal. With a laughing cry he broke. The mask he wears every other day of the year just cracks and crumbles into a sobbing mess of hysteria. No one came to him that night- all had been busy and never even thought to come. He spent all day and all night crying hysterically- venting all his emotions out. He knew. He knew that tomorrow his comrades would come to invite him training, and that he would fix his broken mask on again and make himself seem like the idiotic blonde that everyone loves. But just for tonight he lets the mask stay broken. Just for Christmas.
