24th of December
"..huffhh.." he sighed, making a white puff over his face. ' Another Christmas' Eve, I wonder where I'd be going tonight ' he thought as he walking.
He walked alone on the crowded street. It was such a cold night. For 16 years, he had been used to spend Christmas' Eve alone.
His father got in an accident right before he was born and his mother died while giving him birth. Right now he lived with his mother's sister.
However, she didn't take him into her household for free. She took him so that his parents' insurance money would be hers. She had a husband and a daughter that didn't like him either, but to get the insurance money, they would do anything, even if they had to adopt him.
He didn't really hate the family, who took him to their house, he felt dissatisfied.
Everyday his cousin would make him do her homework, well, yes, because he's smart. Everyday his aunt would make him do cooking, cleaning, gardening. Everyday his uncle would make him massage his back, clean his working shoes, repair any broken things, etc.
He walked past the street shops and so many people; everyone spent their Christmas' Eve with their loved ones but him. He felt like he wanted to cry, when the other kids spent the night with their parents in a warm restaurants, sat on comfy chair, ate tasty foods, wishing for the Christmas presents , felt all the happiness from having the love of their parents.
He could do nothing about it.
He continued his walking towards a lake in the park.
As he stood there, looking at the stars in the dark-blue sky, it was quiet and dark; nobody was there.
He reached his coat's pocket, took a small music box made of wood with a name craved on it : 'Naruto'. That was the only thing he knew his parents left him. When he was little he would spend everyday of his nights listening to the music box, so that he could sleep peacefully.
He opened the box, and a soothing melody started to play. He closed his eye as the music playing.
At a time like this, he felt like he had nothing to be worried of. He felt like his burden and sadness lifted from his body and mind.
He drifted to his own world when suddenly he heard footsteps behind him. Weird, who else would go here at this kind of time except him?
He closed the music box and turned his head towards where the footsteps came from.
" What are you doing here?" the person asked.
" I don't see the reason why I have to tell you, Sasuke. And the question goes to you, too," replied Naruto. ' Out of all the people, why do I have to meet him? I've never been on good terms with him. '
" I'm just taking a walk here," Sasuke said coldly.
' Odd, doesn't his family spend Christmas' Eve together? Why does he even want to go here, ALONE? ' Naruto only gave him an "oh" and opened his music box again, listened to the melody, with Sasuke.
' Hmm, why do I feel warmer when I'm with him now? Weird, I've never felt this way when I was with him before. '
" It's beautiful, " Sasuke suddenly muttered but clearly enough for Naruto to hear.
" Heheh, it's my parents' memorial, " Naruto said in a sad voice.
Sasuke just smirked and stood beside Naruto. They both continued to listen to the melody.
' Well, looks like I have companion for this year's Christmas' Eve, even it's him ' Naruto thought while smiling.
