What Can You Want?
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
A/N: This is the result of a very boring biology class and a secret stash of index cards. Since pretty much everyone in that class shuns me, it came out a little melancholy. I read it over, and it was kind of bittersweet; you know, like those movies with the sad endings that make you feel good inside.
Implied shonen-ai, yaoi, or slash, whatever you want to call it. Don't say I didn't warn you!
Sasuke had everything Naruto could want: admirers, acknowledgement, incredible skills, a bloodline limit Sharingan. He was the village's number one rookie, admired and 'loved' by everyone. And yet, he wasn't happy. Whenever Naruto thought of this, he was perplexed. To him, Sasuke had everything.
Naruto had everything Sasuke could want. He was sunny, carefree, a hard worker, and he never let the villager's taunts hurt him. But most importantly, he was innocent. Many time Sasuke wished he could be in Naruto's place - not having to worry about revenge, to be carefree, to not have everyone watching him all the time. To him, Naruto had everything.

Naruto could have easily hated Sasuke for what he had. It would have been easy to despise the cold, black-haired boy whose personality so opposed his own. The Uchiha had all these things he took for granted - things Naruto had never experienced in his life. He ignored his luck, even wished the admiration, acknowledgement would go away. He could have hated that teme. But instead, the boy found himself more and more attracted to his opposite every day.
Sasuke could have hated Naruto for what he possessed. It would have been easy to despise the warm, blonde-haired boy whose personality was his opposite. The blonde was everything he wanted to be. Easygoing, carefree, innocent - Sasuke had never been like that. And Naruto kept going happily, not realizing what a gift he possessed, taking his childishness for granted. How he wished he could be innocent again… Sasuke could have hated that dobe. But instead, the boy found himself more and more attracted to his opposite every day.

To me, it seems you have everything. What can you want? Not your ambitions; those are shallow, fleeting. But what do you miss inside of yourself, what do you want to be? When you wake up tomorrow, who do you want to be like?
Naruto was lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling. "I wish I was more like you, Sasuke-teme."
The Uchiha gazed at the mirror, reaching out to touch his melancholy reflection. "If I were like you, Naruto-dobe, then maybe I could be happy."
A/N: Just a quick question, leave a review to answer. I'm planning to do a series of Hinata drabbles for every day of spring (March through May) but I'm not sure how I should format it. Should I do separate collections for each month, or should I just put it all together (which would be around ninety chapters, which is a lot)? Also, should I organize the drabbles by week, and update every week, or just put a new chapter every day?
Thanks for reading, please review!
