First fanfic eva so be gentle, don't own Naruto or anything affilliated with it.

Enjoy.


Hatred.

The word hung in the stagnant air between them, neither truly meant for the word to enter the conversation. Yet here they stood unwilling to move, to provoke the attack of the other, to shed blood for sins committed to survive.

"Sasuke." The blond haired ninja whispered in a broken voice, his ebony haired counterpart stared into cheerless azure eyes apologetically.

"Hatred…" Mused Sasuke quietly. "Do you hate me for what I have done, Naruto?"

"Of course." Naruto replied sadly, watching Sasuke flinch as if the words were kunai.

"To you inparticular or do you find that the seed of your loathing is the fact I am a monster?" Sasuke growled through gritted teeth, tears sliding down alabaster cheeks.

"I hate you because I am no more than a whim to you when you are my whole fucking world." The kitsune yelled speeding forward to strike the other boy in the face.

A tan fist collides with its target, a crunch, a growl and the dance begins. They fight until bloodied and broken, while tears roll down their cheeks making attacks clumsy. After, they glance at each other pain reflecting in coal and azure eyes alike.

It was the forbidden word, there existed an unspoken pact never to bring the word into their lives again; they each had lived with enough of it. But as all pacts do this one was broken, blood and tears shed painting the ground with their story.

Both ninja lay staring at each other wishing to take it all back but they are both proud and the closest they will get is tending to each others wounds. Naruto breaks the reverie standing and walking over to where Sasuke lies. He extends a bruised hand to the other boy who grippes it tightly and stands, face inches from the others.

"Sasuke." The blond growls lowly, and he is pulled into a harsh kiss, teeth and tongues clash bringing fresh blood to the fight.

"Naruto." Sasuke whispers once the kiss is broken, they return to the Uchiha district to set fractures and stitch gashes. Once clean they will slip into bed entwining in each others arms and sleep, together nightmares do not haunt them.

Review and you so get a cookie.
