" Hi again," he greeted. The grass was soft and strangely comforting where he sat.
As usual, he received no answer. It really was annoying how ignorance seemed to be ever present.
The darkness obscured anything far enough away, and the detailed things were hard to see up close. The moon's light, unusually less bright, didn't provide much shine, and the thousands of stars clumped together only added to the beauty of the night.
" I know you can hear me, so I don't care if you don't want to talk back, but there's something I need to tell you."
Silence, not even a nod, a sign, nothing.
The boy took a deep breathe, his face fighting to keep sadness from overwhelming it.
" I know...I know you might think I'm being stupid, like you always tend to think...but...but I really need to tell you that I..."
He stopped, in mid sentence, to check for any changes in the silent figure before him.
As usual, there were none.
" I really hate you."
The air seemed to become dense with annoyance, but it seemed to be an annoyance that was simply annoyed at being bothered, not at the words spoken.
He looked at the ground. " I really, really hate you," he repeated. He didn't dare look up, scared of what he might see.
" I mean, how could you do this? I know you're just an idiot who doesn't care about anything or...anyone...but how could you do this? People care, even though you obviously don't! I keep thinking that you...I keep thinking that maybe this would change!"
He kept his eyes glued to the grass below him, blocking out all other sounds so that he could speak what he wanted spoken before he lost his nerve.
" Don't you understand what you're doing? Why can't you see the reaction...the hurt you've caused? Why won't you do anything about it?" he hissed, emotions swirling in his eyes and voice.
The silence was egging him on. Why couldn't he be allowed one word, just one word, even if only to be acknowledged that he was being listened to.
" I don't understand why you had to do this...Did you think of me at all? Did you...?" he asked sadly, knowing that the question would be ignored, perhaps like everything else he was saying.
Something snapped in the boy then. He forgot all his promises to himself, not to confess anything, slipping away. He was suddenly enraged, terrified, and anguished all at once. It was not a nice combination.
" You damn bastard!! Didn't you realize? Why did you do this to me? I can't go on like this...I can't! It's so hard...ugh! You damn idiot! Look! You've made me cry!" He shook his head, trying not to heed the tears that painted his face, because he knew he couldn't prevent them any longer.
" I hate you, you stupid, ignorant, heartless bastard! I hate you so much! Why did you put me through this? It never ends!! I can't forget!! It's all your fault!" he shouted, clenching his fists as he tasted the saltiness of his own tears.
" Didn't you realize!?" he shouted once again, lifting his head to look upon the ever silent figure. He didn't avert his gaze, which became softer.
" Didn't you realize?" he said in a whisper. " That I love you?" he mumbled.
The poor boy broke down, sobbing freely now, voice broken and hoarse.
Nothing but silence was there to offer what ever comfort there was to give.
After he had calmed down he stood up, rubbing his sleeves across his wet eyes.
As he started to walk away, Naruto gave one longing gaze, and one resting touch on the cold stone of the grave; a grave in which one name was scripted plainly and ordinarily.
Uchiha Sasuke.
