Happy
Naruto couldn't ever remember being this happy before, he couldn't wipe the grin off his face no matter how hard he tried, and sometimes he'd find himself giggling madly at absolutely nothing. Except for now, he wasn't laughing because of nothing, he was laughing because of someone, his someone, his special person, his Sasuke. He grinned up at the dark haired onyx eyed boy before him another fit of laughter was welling up inside him. He could see the annoyance in Sasuke's deep dark eyes, he knew that the boy before him was getting fed up with his unpredictable laughing fits, but Naruto didn't mind, because he could see behind that. And behind the annoyance was love acceptance and happiness, happiness much like the one that Naruto was feeling now.
Sad
Tears filled Naruto's eyes and clouded his vision as he looked towards Sasuke. He was smiling; his normally dark features were lit up by a smile, a smile that wasn't for him. His dark eyes seemed livelier than usual brightened by the love Naruto knew Sasuke must have felt now, a love that wasn't for him. The Uchiha was even laughing now. Sasuke Uchiha was laughing and smiling and in love and none of it was for him, it was all for her. And though Naruto was happy that his two best friends had managed to find love within each other, he couldn't help but feel sad. Sad that it wasn't him Sasuke was holding right now, sad that it wasn't him Sasuke was laughing with, sad that he wasn't the one Sasuke was in love with. Sad Naruto felt sad, so very sad and cold.
Joy
Joy wasn't a very common feeling to Naruto, hell it wasn't even a common word to his vocabulary. Sure he smiled and laughed and looked happy, but he'd never truly experienced Joy. That is until Sasuke came along. It was rather odd, every time they argued with each other, every time he yelled at Sasuke, every time Sasuke insulted him, Naruto could feel this strange emotion over coming him. It was a warm feeling that spread through every fiber of his being, a feeling that made Naruto smile a real true smile. He never really truly understood it, and it actually took him a very long time to realize that what he was feeling was joy.
Vengeful
Sasuke could feel a bitter rage festering deep with in him. This was something he's felt for a very long time only now it was worse, far worse. As he stared at the broken bloody mangled body in his arms. What had once been bright excited fierce blue eyes that could convey emotions Sasuke could only dream of having were now dull lifeless orbs. What once was beautiful blond hair was now a matted bloody mess. And warm tan skin looked grey and felt so cold. It was unnatural how death looked when it took over Naruto. Sasuke held the body of his special person close to his own and let out a roar of rage forever cursing his elder brother. The vengeance he sought from his brother now increased tenfold, the bastard had taken everything Sasuke had ever held near and dear, and he was going to kill Itachi if that was the last thing he ever did.
Hope
For the longest time Sasuke had always believed that his whole existence was strictly dedicated to being an avenger, to hating his elder brother, to getting revenge. This was why he couldn't understand this feeling that was slowly taking over him whenever he was near Naruto. This fuzzy feeling that made him ask for more, than just revenge. Naruto always believed that he'd never have love, never have someone to be with for the rest of his life. He always felt that no one would ever see past what was trapped inside of him to ever truly love him. But then Sasuke knew didn't he? Sasuke knew and yet that didn't seem to change anything about how the Uchiha felt towards Naruto. Neither Naruto or Sasuke ever truly understood this feeling that they had concerning each other, nether of them really understood what hope was. But that didn't meant they couldn't feel it.
Compassion
Sasuke didn't ever pretend to understand anyone's pain. He didn't even pretend to care about it. But sometimes when he looks at Naruto and sees the shear determination to be noticed, he sees a kindred spirit. Because Naruto knows what it's like to come home to an empty house and have no one there to great him, Naruto knows what it's like too have to do everything for himself. Their pain was different because Naruto had been alone from the beginning and Sasuke had his bonds ripped away from him, but Sasuke still understood. Sasuke still felt a great amount of compassion towards Naruto, because they both shared the same pain.
Shy
Naruto stared apprehensively at Sasuke, a thick blush encompassing his tan cheeks. He wanted so desperately to walk over to the pale boy and talk to him, but he just couldn't. Because Sasuke was everything Naruto wasn't and could never be. Sasuke was beautiful and stoic popular loved. Naruto was just some monster, he could never be like Sasuke, could never be with Sasuke. He tried everyday to get the words out to say something anything, but Naruto can't make the words come out of his mouth. He mentally curses his crippling shyness when he fails yet again and turns away, to walk home.
Broody
Dark eyes flickered towards the warm body that lay next to his, fast asleep. Naruto knew what pain was that much was for sure. He was alone just like Sasuke, he had no parents or siblings. Everyday when he went home his house was empty, just like Sasuke's. What was worse, Naruto didn't have friends, Sasuke had dozens upon dozens of people practically begging to be his friend. Naruto always screwed up, and Sasuke always managed to surpass Naruto in every facet. And yet, somehow Naruto managed to smile and laugh the way he did. In a way Sasuke could only ever dream of doing. Sasuke watched Naruto for a few more moments musing slightly on their likes and differences hoping to understand how Naruto could manage to still be so dammed happy all the time.
Confused
Naruto was completely and utterly confused. He didn't understand any of this. This feeling he got whenever he looked at Sasuke or whenever Sasuke looked at him. He didn't understand the way his heart beat faster whenever he and Sasuke managed to have any form of skin on skin contact. He didn't understand why his face grew hot sometimes when he thought of Sasuke. He didn't know why he felt as though he needed something desperately from Sasuke, hell he didn't even know what this something was. Naruto would probably never understand any of the dreams he had about Sasuke, nor would he very know why the dark haired boy did things to him in those dreams. Naruto was very confused indeed.
Lonely
Naruto stared at the bed that was now entirely too big for him with tears in his eyes. He walked around his now empty apartment feeling so much more alone they he ever thought possible. He remembered once how Sasuke yelled at him for not understanding how truly painful it was to have and to hold onto something and that have it ripped away from you in the blink of an eye. Naruto hadn't understood it then but he did now. True loneliness, what he felt before was nothing to what he was feeling now. He had love and happiness everything he could have ever wanted but it was all gone now. And Naruto couldn't ever remember feeling to empty, so scarred, so alone.
