If you do not like Naruto, Yaoi, or anything else that's in this story, please leave now. If you don't like the stuff, why in the world are you looking it up?
I always needed time on my own.
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side
Naruto turned his watering eyes to the other half of the tent, where that bastard suppose to be, but instead it stayed empty. His frustration and pain came out in hot wet tears down his tan cheeks. He wished the whole thing had never happened. Because…He turned his head into his pillow to give a soft sob…Maybe if he'd never of met that stupid Sasuke, he wouldn't be in so much pain. It wouldn't hurt so much to look at Sakura, or Kakashi-sensei and feel as if he's disappointing them…. himself.
When you walk away, I count the steps you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
Sasuke's eyes trailed after the blond boy as he walked away from the raven, shaking. He wanted to talk to the boy…but it was so hard! His mind told him to go after him, he needed Naruto. But his heart clenched and made him stiffen in his place. He didn't need Naruto! He didn't need anyone. He turned around and started for his house. Too bad he couldn't convince himself.
When you're gone, The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone, The face I came to know is missing, too
When you're gone, The words I need to hear to always make it through
The day and make it ok.
I miss you.
Naruto watched Sasuke walk away from their fight, his arm bleeding slightly, and he had a slight limp. Tears started in Naruto's eyes as he knew he failed again, and he couldn't stop the sob of pain. He had failed the village yet again. He cared for Sasuke so much, but it never seemed to matter. He fell to his knees, slamming a fist to the ground his anger, though it just made his sprained wrist ache. He didn't know if he could go through with this again. All the emotional stress linked to this one man was frightening. He had so much control over Naruto, yet he choose to torture the blond so unkindly. A hand placed itself on his shoulder, and he looked up at Sakura.
"Let's go, Naruto." She said. He nodded and stood shakily, looking back over his shoulder at the shadow. I miss you….He whispered in his mind, but only he could hear himself.
I've never felt this way before
Everything I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left. They lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do
Sasuke was so frustrated! That stupid dobe had once again managed to confuse him! He stared at the ceiling of his room, emotions raging through his mind. He turned his head into his pillow childishly, as if to get away from looking at someone. But he couldn't see the blond here, and so the image haunted his mind. The blond doubled over, crying. He hadn't want to really hurt him. Just to weaken him so he could get back to his room. And then that stupid pink haired bimbo had to come to his rescue and make everything seem all better. He really should have killed her. But then Naruto would really cry….When did he start to care that idiot cried!? He didn't need Naruto! He was weak and annoying….At least that's what he told himself.
When you're gone, The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone, The face I came to know is missing, too
When you're gone, The words I need to hear to always make it through
The day and make it ok.
I miss you.
We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah
Naruto couldn't help himself when it came to the raven. And he thinks everybody but Sasuke knew about his weakness. He wanted to blame it on their great friendship, but that would be lying threw his teeth, and Naruto's never been that good of a liar. Especially when the lying was to Sakura. She knew. He knew. So why did she have to torture him with all her questions, and over ramen, even! Nothing's sacred anymore! He thanked all the gods out there when Kakashi and Iruka interrupted them to join, because Sakura was just plain crazy with her questions! But she only did it because she cared, or at least that's what everybody told him. But he had a feeling that she was jealous of him, because even if his relationship with Sasuke was ripped and torn, it was still there, and she never got to have a piece of it. That's what he told himself.
And all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breath, I need to feel you here with me, yeah
Sasuke couldn't breath. He stood over the pale body of the last of his family, and he couldn't breath. He guesses this was his fault. He lived to kill his brother, and now he had nothing to live for, so he's dying. He could feel himself sink to his knees, the cold hard ground meeting with his pale hands. And then suddenly he was warm. His chin was lifted and his eyes met with a mask. But then the mask was gone, and warmth seemed to flow from the smile and the eyes.
"Naruto…."He panted. He could breath again. He could feel his body again, and it was getting warmer. "What….what are you doing here?" He asked.
"I'm here to take you home, Sasuke." The warm voice sounded in his right ear as he was hugged. "You've been gone too long. It's time to come home." He said. Sasuke weakly wrapped his arms around the boy and rested his head on the strong shoulder. He sighed in relief and nodded.
"I've been gone too long." He whispered.
"I missed you, Sasuke." Naruto nuzzled his neck. He smiled in the neck and nodded.
"I missed you, too, Dobe." He said. Yes, I've missed you way too much. He said to himself.
