"Come back" and the same as always "Dobe, you know I can't".
Naruto desperately wanted to hear a "yet". It tore him apart inside, to hope just killed him now, but, right there… with an arm still around Sasuke's waist, a part of him literally inside his… best friend, best rival, first bond… first… first… everything, he could hope.
"… you have to learn to live with this, dobe. Just this".
Deep down Naruto knew, all along.
But hoping, and begging Sasuke to come back, is part of the routine.
He's terrified of change by now. He might complain, but he's so used to all this shit.
If Sasuke changes his entire world again, he might not survive, promise to Sakura or not. He doesn't even want to think about it. The mere idea of just… forgetting about Sasuke, stop the chasing, stop the sleepless nights counting shooting stars while thinking about him, stop this… clandestine encounters with him, not to fuck him; stop… everything making him get up in the morning, terrifies him.
It's almost funny how they are probably the best shinobi out there, but they are just beginning to understand what is like to really be one.
Their world is just so fucked up.
And it's sad, because he can only cling to Sasuke when he's supposed to kill him.

A.N: This IS a one-shot, but I'll post the other 12 fears (when I write them) as chapters here. They aren't going to be related, most likely. I'll let you know otherwise.
