Random AU fic done out of boredom. Took about 5 minutes to write and edit. I do not own Naruto.
Sasuke Uchiha looked on appreciatively as the moon began to peek out from behind some clouds, its white light now streaming into the bedroom of his apartment through the glass doors of the balcony. It advanced slowly across the floor and soon began to creep up and onto the black sheets of his bed.
On peaceful nights like this, the young man often found himself given to the poetic and tonight was no exception. Since childhood he had always carried a strange sort of reverence for the moon; to him it symbolized both beauty and serenity, ideals which reminded him strongly of his late mother.
What he found even more beautiful, however, was the effect the pale light had on his sleeping lover.
He sat up, transfixed at the way the Naruto's tan face was suddenly bathed in moonlight; the bright gold of his hair contrasted sharply with the gentle silver illumination, giving him an alluring, almost otherworldly glow. Sasuke's breath hitched at the sight and he was unable to stop a small gasp from escaping as his aesthetic senses were overwhelmed by the look of utter peace written across the blond's features.
Naruto stirred at the sudden sound, rolling onto his side and cracking open a single sleepy eye that focused slowly on the boy next to him. "S'late." he murmured, squinting up at the brunette and yawning loudly. "What are you doing?"
Sasuke smiled back at him, a rare gesture outside the confines of this room. "Watching you sleep." he answered truthfully.
"That's creepy." Naruto joked, a small grin appearing on his lips. He yawned again and moved closer to Sasuke, resting his head against the older boy's naked chest.
Sasuke encircled Naruto in his arms, pleased at the contented sigh this drew and watched silently as the other fell asleep once more.
It occurred to the Uchiha how incredibly lucky he was to be able to experience moments like this; his special someone held close, the world lit up for the two of them in this single, shining moment. It was simply indescribable. Perfect.
"Thank you, Naruto." he whispered gratefully into his love's ear. "Thank you for being so beautiful...in every way that counts."
Naruto only smiled.
Wow that was overdone. Melodramatic much? XD
