Hmm, I guess I'll write another oneshot today before I leave. Tomorrow I'm going on vacation to Montreal, Ontario! SPLEE! So...I guess this'd be...yaoi and angst. I really like the angst.
XD
S-P-L-E-E
Meaningless tears.
I shed these bitter tears, meaningless drops of water spilling down my face, emotion kept inside for 12 years released. Like a river rapidly flowing through a broken dam, the tears fall, and they will continue to fall until there is nothing left.
Each and every tear is made for him, and I will cry them for him. Uzumaki Naruto. The graceful angel of a leaf nin that I have watched from afar for so long. Breathtaking blue eyes, set perfectly upon his face, glimmering like pools of crystal clear lake water. Shocking blonde hair, spiked every which way, disorderly and yet neat at the same time. Each whisker, etched into his skin as if by long, careful strokes of a knife. The six lines that signify that he is like me.
And yet, Sasuke and Sakura and Hinata and Kakashi. The ones who are always by his side and would never let him down. They signify how he is so different, how our lives are separated. He has love, I have none. He is surrounded, I am alone. And I hate it.
The meaningless tears fall to the ground, soaking into the dry earth beneath my feet, to what fate I do not know. Tears that will never mean anything, whose lives are defined from the moment they leave my eyes to the moment they touch the ground. Tears that Naruto will never see and tears that will not sway him to return my feelings. I shake my head sadly, blinking away even more salty tears.
I hear him call my name. I think I am just hearing things, and I try to convince myself that I am alone. But then I hear it again, soft and distant, and this time I dare to look up into the darkness that awaits.
And there he is. Bright as an angel, he stands in front of me, staring sympathetically down into my pathetic face. I feel myself freeze up as his ocean blue eyes burn into my green ones. Naruto...
He offers me his hand, and I take it.
I don't know where he will lead me, but I will let him take me where he will. Because I know that he is the one who stands by me, and will stand by me always.
Sasuke. Sakura. Hinata. Kakashi.
Now, I too, have someone by my side, the angel that changed my life from the very moment my eyes rested on his perfect form.
