A/N: Yay for SasuNaru oneshots!! I actually was inspired by my little sister to write this, because she wrote a Sirius/Lupin song fic using this song. After listening to the song once again, I decided I HAD to write a songfic of my own with it. So this is a song fic for the song 'Valentine's Day' by Linkin Park. It's an awesome song.
Due to technical difficulties (aka my computer hates me) I can't add any chapters to my existing stories, and can only add new ones. So there will probably be many more oneshots to come before I get the problem fixed/steal my Dad's computer.
/this means song lyrics/ Please review!
VALENTINE'S DAY
The small figure of a teenage boy stands out against the peace and silence of the Konoha cemetery. Crouching down, he leans forward, reaching out to touch the marble marker. It is a cheap gravestone, engraved with only two words.
Uzumaki Naruto.
The teen's lips move swiftly, as if he is speaking to the person buried beneath his feet.
/on a valentine's day/
I chew my bottom lip, staring listlessly down at my pale hands.
I never really did Valentine's Day, you know? I mean, seriously, it's just a conspiracy created by chocolate companies
It doesn't mean anything.
The only one stupid enough to like something like that is you, Naruto.
And you liked it quite a bit.
Naruto grins up at me, smile as wide as the sun. "Come on, Sasuke! It's Valentine's Day! You're supposed to be, like, happy and stuff!
He is altogether too happy.
"Whatever, loser," I mutter back.
That was my usual reply. Not much of a "thank you," if you ask me.
But you deserved one, Naruto. Because of you, I was never allowed to be alone on a Valentine's Day.
Although I detested it at the time, I'm grateful for it now.
Because of you, I never knew…
/I never knew what it was like
to be alone
on a valentine's day/
Thank you, Naruto.
See, I can say it fine, now.
But now it is too late.
/so now you're gone
and I was wrong/
I'm sorry, Naruto.
/on a valentine's day/
There's so much I didn't say. I wish I could have you back, so I could tell you.
But I can't.
Have you back. Not ever.
/a black wind took you away
from sight/
I avenged you, you know.
I killed the bastards who hurt you.
But Kakashi was right.
Revenge brings nothing but emptiness.
/and held the darkness over day
that night/
But I couldn't come to your funeral. I'm sorry for that.
/and the ground below grew colder
as they put you down inside/
I couldn't go to my parent's funeral either.
/but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing/
But I did go to your grave, after.
Stood before you, running my hand over the cold stone marker.
Like I am now.
/my insides all turn to ash
so slow/
You've never seen me cry, have you, Naruto?
Well, I did, then.
You probably wouldn't believe me if I said I hadn't cried since my parent's death.
But it's true.
I'm crying now, too.
But just a little.
I'm going to go now. I can't stay forever, you know.
I just came so I wouldn't be alone.
You're not supposed to be alone on a Valentine's Day.
Wait for me, okay? Wherever you are.
You wouldn't want to be alone either.
/on a valentine's day/
