Sasuke P.O.V.
It hurt. It hurt more than the purest white snow being tainted with crimson blood. For hours I just sat there,thinking about what had happened over the last few hours. My one wish was for the rain to wash away all this regret and sorrow. But right now I think that it's just going to give me a cold.
-Flashback-
"Itachi! Will you stop being such a prick? God! I'm so fed up with you always ordering me around like I'm some kind of maid! And when in the world are you ever going to let ME be seme for once?" "You know how I am, would you like me to get out that maid's outfit for you? I'm sure you'll do a much better job with it on." Itachi said as he held the oh so sexy maids outfit for Sasuke to put on. "Sometimes I really wonder why I ever fell in love with you, will shut it already?! That's it! I'm gone! You can live out the rest of your miserable life alone!" And with the slam of the door, the once proud Uchiha left without a trace. Leaving the older one all alone to think things out. "He'll be back…He always comes running back to me in the end." But was he ever wrong this time around. Sasuke was gone for good.
-End Flashback-
Sasuke P.O.V.
As I sat there wondering why the hell did I do that, I could hear my conscience arguing with itself over whether or not I had done the right thing. I got tired of just sitting there,with the rain mocking my inner feelings, so I shut that voice away and got up. Since I kicked myself out, I now needed a place to stay. My only options were, staying with that dobe Naruto, or my perverted sensei. No way in hell would I ever stay with that pink-haired crazed fan-girl. Staying with that blond idiot may not be so bad, I mean at least he won't try to molest me in my sleep. Wait. What the heck am I saying? God only knows what his room is like, with all that garbage blocking the way, will I even be able to get through the door? And then there's Kakashi-sensei, I don't think I can stand being near all those Icha-Icha books all day. And that gleam in his eye whenever he looks at me…shiver Ugh…better stay with that dobe then…
-Present-
"Oi! Naruto! Open up now or I'll kick your sorry ass!" Though half asleep Naruto reluctantly opens the door to see a Sasuke soaked to the bone. "Shut up Sasuke-teme! What in the name of Konoha are you doing at my house at 3:00 in the morning??!!" Nevertheless Naruto lets a dripping wet Sasuke in. While waiting for the blond to stop yelling, Sasuke sat himself down on the couch in the living room, and flips through various scrolls left on Naruto's table. "Quit your complaining dobe, do you think I want to be here? In the middle of the night too!" "Well then, what do want?" Naruto stops talking when he senses that his friend is quieter than usual. "Oi, Sasuke? You alright?"
At that time he really didn't know if he was okay or not. The thoughts that were conflicting in his mind weren't helping at all. He really did miss Itachi, but his damn Uchiha pride wasn't going to let him just crawl back to Itachi. Especially not after what Sasuke had said to him. He definitely won't let me back in, after what I had done to get out. Though the hate Sasuke had for Itachi wasn't as strong as back then, he still couldn't surrender to the elder Uchiha. While Sasuke sat there lost in his never ending thoughts, Naruto went to go get something to eat. He wasn't just going to stand there while the ice prince was off on his own little planet. When Naruto returned, he saw that Sasuke was still sitting on the couch, staring at the floor,lost in his thoughts.
Something is definitely off with Sasuke,Naruto thought. I've never seen his eyes this void of anything before. They seem darker than the midnight sky…I really hope that he's okay. To see him like this, it hurts deeper than any wound a sharpened kunai can make. "Oi dobe! Snap out of it! Are you just going to stand there, or do I have to get up to get the food?" With that, Naruto snapped out of his trance. Stupid Sasuke, and to think that I actually cared about him a second ago! Che… "Ramen again? Do you ever eat anything else but that?" "Hmph…Why would you ever care about me? I thought the only person that you would ever care for was that prick you call your brother." At that Sasuke felt his entire body go rigid and his mind start to numb…
Sasuke P.O.V.
Did he have to go and mention his name? doesn't he know how brittle my soul is right now? Well, I guess he doesn't, I mean I haven't told anyone what happened yet. Whenever I think of him, my heart feels like a flame is slowly burning a hole through it. It hurts. Have I really become that weak? To think, that the mere thought of him could cause so much pain and agony. I've really fallen for him, haven't I? I still remember when we were younger, he would always be there for me, especially when father wouldn't acknowledge my presence. Itachi would always come to my room and comfort me later. The kisses you placed on my forehead were so light, yet I still felt all the warmth that they held. Aniki…My soul yearns for you, your comforting presence, your kisses, everything about you. Even if you felt so far away, I felt like you were constantly right there beside me. Waiting to catch me, if I ever fell. How will I ever live without you?
"Oi! Sasuke-teme! Wake up! What the hell happened to you? You just spaced out like that! Please Sasuke, tell me what's wrong, and don't say "It's none of your business" I know something's wrong with you, I've never seen your eyes so blank before, even when you were concealing your emotions, I could always see a flicker of emotion behind them." Sasuke just sat there, letting his teammates' words wink in. Should he tell him? No, it just wasn't the right time for it yet. He had come here for a place to sleep, not for a visit to the psychologist. "Naruto, it's not time for that yet," Sasuke said with a sigh. As Sasuke got up to leave, Naruto was wondering what could've been so horrible, that it would make Sasuke show up on his front doorstep in the middle of the night like that. He had never seen Sasuke so down, so void of emotion, just so empty of life, like his soul was just ripped out.
Naruto P.O.V.
What happened to you Sasuke? You've never just "showed up" like you did tonight. Whatever could've happened that left you so crestfallen? Well, whatever the reason, I'm sure you'll tell me when you're ready. I only hope that I'll be able to help you. Sasuke looks like he really needs someone by his side right now.
"Goodnight, Sasuke." And whatever the reason, I'll always be there for you. I'll ask him about it in the morning. From downstairs all Naruto could hear was some mumbling that sounded something like "Goodnight, dobe" Even though it was faint, Naruto could never miss the saying of the "D" word. "QUIT CALLING ME DOBE!!!" The noise was so loud that Konoha will never get a good night's sleep now. Somewhere in the distance, a man with a long black ponytail tied to the back of his neck, could hear the shout, and thought to himself, so Sasuke found a roommate after all, well I'll just have to do something about that, won't I?
