Description: Sasuke finally decides to tell Naruto how he feels and what better way to tell a person you love them and understand them than through a poem!

The Note

Sasuke had arrived at Naruto's apartment to find the normally hyperactive ninja in his bed room floor crying.

"Naruto…"

"Please ju..just go…"

Sasuke extends a hand towards Naruto worry but holds himself and decides to tell Naruto once and for all how he feels even if Naruto does not feel the same way.

He takes a piece of paper from his pocket and gives it to Naruto.

"At least read what I have to say before you tell me to leave." The normally stoic boy looked towards Naruto with so much love and fear.

Naruto could not help notice the sudden change on Sasuke. "oh..ok"

He opens the note and sees a poem inside.

(The poem)

Naruto,

As I walked towards your house

To tell you how I feel

I look into the empty room

For a trace of your blue eyes

Then I saw your face

Full of hurt and tears

No one knows what you've been through

They all see the mask

But if you let down your guard

All they will see is a broken man

Pain is carved into your skin

Though all they see is your silly grins

All your dreams have slipped away

And all that's left is your empty shell

Wandering through an empty world

Though life goes on just the same

Your being hated for something you can never escape

But fear not for I am here

To take away all of your fears

To drive away those who stare blindly

To give you hope so you won't disappear

Or end your life in such a hasty way

I love you more than words can say

So please don't leave me here to stay

Forever wondering if you could have loved me in returned

Sasuke

Naruto could not help the tears coming to his eyes.

"Sasuke….so you feel the same?"

Sasuke jumped with shock written all over his face before he managed to hide it behind his stoic mask.

"yes"

At that the younger boy jumped to his feet from where he had been laying for hours and threw himself in Sasuke's arms. He whispered "Thank you" in Sasuke's ear and give him a kiss in the cheek.

"I love you too"
