NaruSasu

Summary: Before they were Genin. Naruto is still shunned and Sasuke … haven't decided if this is before or after his clan is killed, AU, probably terribly OOC, all in thoughts.

………

Look at him.

Look at him.

All staring and frightened

All staring and 'frightening'

Pathetic

Pathetic

I wish someone would meet my eyes

He's trying to catch their eye

Acknowledge me as human, damn it!

God, he's only human

Accept what I am

It wasn't his choice

This isn't what I want to be

Hokage trusts him

Spending my life frightening everyone around me

Pity, he frightens everyone

A monster

A monster

Look at them, practically cowering

Why don't we say something to him?
Even the adults

Even the adults

Except for …

Here we go …

Lord, maybe … a friend?

We're not all scared of you …

He looks so cold

He looks so lost

A spare seat ….

The only seat …

Don't leave ….

Please stay …

"I'm Naruto …"

"I'm Sasuke … can I stay here?"

"Please, stay …"
