R&R: Yes please!
Naurto could hear the birds soft song in the background as he looked ahead, the lake as sparkling, the grass swayed gently along with the trees and bushes. It was the perfect day. Everything was so soft and peaceful.
"Naruto..." Sasuke walked over to Naruto and stared into the blonds captivating blue eyes. Naurto was so beautiful, Naruto was everything Sasuke wasn't; caring, loving, strong. Sasuke was weak and he hated himself for it. Why couldn't the raven haired boy be as strong as his precious Naruto? It was too late now. Much too late and a day didn't go by when he didn't regret his actions.
"Sasuke..." Naruto smiled at Sasuke, he tried so hard to look his happy-go-lucky self but all he could manage was a sad smile that broke Sasuke's heart all over again. "How is Sakura?" Naruto whispered, asking about Sasuke's wife.
Sasuke winced slightly as the tone of Naruto's voice. It wasn't sarcastic or angry but it was sad, Sasuke wanted to grab the blond and hold him close to his chest, he wanted Naruto to be by his side forever because that was where the blond belonged. With him...why was Sasuke so scared of the judging eyes? Those quite disgusted whispers? Didn't love conquers all? All that mattered was love right? So why couldn't Sasuke see that and hold Naruto in his arms?...was he really so weak? So pathetic?
"She is fine..." Sasuke mumbled and looked down, unable to stare into those blue eyes. Those blue eyes still filled with so much love and understanding. Sasuke wanted Naruto to get angry, to shout, scream and hit Sasuke but he didn't. Naruto understood and loved him still! Sasuke clenched his fists tight.
"You should go to her, newly weds shouldn't be separate for long." Naruto chuckled softly.
"Yeah...." Sasuke looked up, Naruto was...everything Sasuke wished he was, everything.
Pure, forgiving...
Sasuke was a worthless, feeble, wrenched, pitiful, useless man! There wasn't enough adjectives in the world to describe just how pathetic he was and felt. But he couldn't do it...couldn't go over to Naruto to tell him how much he loved the blond boy...he couldn't. So all he did was take one step back, his eyes still connected with the blonds before he turned and walked away for good. He walked away from true happiness.
Forever.
"Goodbye, Sasuke." Naurto whispered, tears running down his tanned face as he watched Sasuke leave. His heart screamed at him to run over to Sasuke and demand that they be together but he couldn't. His feet where firmly glued to the ground because even though he wished he could go over to Sasuke and tell him all his feelings he knew that Sasuke could never truly accept them, Sasuke could never really be with Naruto and it would be just like last time; a secret kept hidden, locked in a box that was hidden away from the views of everybody judgemental gaze.
"Goodbye, Naurto..." Sasuke whispered, not even sure if Naruto could hear it but it was more for the raven haired boy either way.
Their relationship was over.
And once again Sasuke's heart broke into a million pieces while a single tear cascaded down his face.
