A soft, low growl came from the pale boy; staring at his best friend laying helplessly on the bed.
Staring at me.
I knew Sasuke couldn't stand seeing me hurt. Maybe that's why I did it.
He'd call me baka, dobe and stupid anyway...so what did it matter? He doesn't know how to care. We had gotten into another fight, this time because I said I wanted to talk to him and I wanted him to not be an ass for once.
He still was.
I wanted to tell him how I felt, but instead heard him mutter
'Why don't you just die already, baka!'
So I grabbed a kunai, staring my best friend/rival in the eyes as I plunged it into my chest, whispering
'As you wish...my love.'
I didn't think he'd start crying.
Him, of all people!
The great Uchiha Sasuke was crying over me, the great and worthless Uzumaki Naruto!
'Dobe...I love you too...'
Ahh so that was it. He loved me so much he wanted me to die? How comforting.
I could feel the accursed demon trying to heal me and tried to beg him not to. He refused to stop so I grabbed the knife again; this time ready to rip my stomach open.
A pale hand grabbed mine, screaming 'NO! D-DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE!'
I gave him a fake smile as I whispered 'Oh teme, admit it...you love no one and nothing...and that's why you told me to die...'
His eyes filled with even more tears as he pried the knife from my hand; clutching me and gripping my shoulders.
'No...no! I didn't...mean it! Naruto, please; I love you! Don't die on me too...'
I smiled weakly and ran my fingers faintly through his raven black hair. His dull and dark eyes stared painfully into my own; his eyes not hiding a single emotion.
My smile wavered.
I closed my eyes slowly.
'Then why tell me to die...?' I whispered as everything stopped and life tried to leave my body.
The demon had stopped fighting me.
I guess he wanted to know too.
'Be-because, d-dobe...yo-you wouldn't tell me wh-what you wanted t-to...I tried not to call you names but you stammered and seemed so...st-silly...'
He managed to not call me stupid.
Hn.
I shook my head and whispered with the last of my strength
'Goodbye, dearest Sasuke...'
