A/N: Well, here goes, my first fic uploaded onto here.
It's a songfic based around the song 'My Immortal' by Evanescence. Please listen to it while reading, because that's what I did while I was writing it.
Could be interpreted as a pairing or friendship, it's your choice.
goes into hiding so you can read
(Oh, and I do not own Naruto. I own a Naruto calendar and some other stuff, but that's about it.)
Naruto lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling lost in thought. His radio was playing quietly next to him, and heard a new song begin with a rather melancholy piano intro.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
He rolled slightly over, listening better. The song seemed so sad.
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
"Sasuke..." he murmured, remembering forlornly how his friend had left. He had left the village, left his friends, left everything behind. But Naruto couldn't forget about him. He was going to bring Sasuke back to Konoha, no matter what it takes.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
He was so hurt when Sasuke left. He had trusted him. His best friend. Then...he was gone.
The chorus of the song started up, just as sadly as the rest of the song, and he rolled all the way onto his side, staring at the radio.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
Naruto thought back to how close they had been. Even when they had barely known each other, back at their fight against Zabuza... Sasuke had taken the full force of the senbon attack, just to shield Naruto. Without a second thought.
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
It was true that Naruto had looked up to the other boy, and was determined to finally beat him one day, to prove that he was just as strong.
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Sakura was also greatly stunned by Sasuke leaving. So much so that she had refused to come out of her room for a good few weeks after. Naruto had tried to comfort her, but ended up being yelled at from the other side of a well locked door.
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
Naruto could barely sleep at night, which is why he lay on his bed, wide awake at the present moment. When he actually managed to drift off, his dreams always turned to nightmares.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
That line played again, along with the chorus. Why did he leave so abruptly?
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along...
Naruto knew that he would probably never come back, no matter how much he begged and pleaded. But even with that, he would try. When had they drifted so far apart? Were they even that close to begin with? Sasuke with his high status among everyone, and Naruto looked down upon by the whole village. He should have known that their friendship, a fragile, barely stable one, could never be upheld.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
The final chorus trailed off into soft piano music again, and Naruto rolled over, pressing his face into his pillow, crying silently.
I'll find you Sasuke...I'll bring you back...
I promise.
Soo...How was it? Good? Really bad??
Please review, be it with a criticism or a compliment.
Thank you very much for reading it all the way though!
