Finally deciding to get off my lazy ass and something from my box of self-made quotes, this is the result. Not exactly angst-or fluff for that matter. It's subtle Sasuke x Naruto, however you can view it as you wish. Friendship, love, ect.


T r u s t.

It was the first thing you ever learned.
During those childhood days.

Trust.

But now, see...you were a child, y'know?
And you didn't really believe in that shit. Who did?
But now it all comes down to this one moment.

Do you now?

Because it's pouring.
It's pouring hard.
And he's staring at you.
With blazing eyes so sure, and intentions you can't tell...
If it's really pure.

And it only comes down harder.
And now, you're not so sure you can still see him.
But his gaze hasn't moved an inch.You know. You can tell.

Intense. Dark.

Y'know...that kind of gaze.
That makes you want to run and hide.

And you would have.

Had his hand not have been on yours.
Had he not asked you a question.

And now, you're not so sure you heard it.
But his voice was strong.
You know. You can tell.

It's low, deep.
Beyond the beholder's age.
His gaze doesn't sway.
He repeats his question.

But the silence stays.

"Do you trust me?' There's a hint of annoyance.
It can be heard over the roaring rain. You know. You can tell.

"What the fuck-Of...of course I do!"
Your own voice wobbles.
You hate yourself for it.

He gives you a flat look.

"Do you trust me, Naruto?"

His hand on yours tightens.
And you realize-it's warm.

Eyes so sure even if what ahead wasn't.
Yeah-his intentions were pure.
You shakily nod.

"Yeah. I trust you."
