DISCLAIMER: I do not and will never own Naruto. I, unfortunately, am not paid to write. I will use this discaimer for this entire set.
This story is Naruto/Sasuke. My friend Betty picked out the prompts and the pairings, so 실어증 (Aphasia) is dedicated to her. ^-^
Aphasia is an aquired language disorder. It makes it difficult to speak or comprehend spoken or written language.
86. Misery
Life isn't the same. Naruto could bounce and scream and shout all he wanted, but that teme never came. He hadn't realized how much of his life revolved around him. Just annoying him, fighting him, yelling at him. People see it in the little things. The way his smile would suddenly falter. His bright blue eyes glazed at times. A crinkled picture of Team 7 kept close in his breast pocket. When his teammates meet for ramen, Naruto always looks for one more person. Naruto has good friends, true friends. This isn't loneliness. So why does it hurt so much?
