\Naruto eyed the flower in between his hands. Shuffling it through his fingers, he made a silent wish that his Sasuke hadn't left.
The Uzumaki wasn't the type to dwell on a loss, never, until now...until Sasuke.
He swore he could still feel Sasuke beside him, glaring at him with those deep obsidian eyes.
He wondered if it were better if Sasuke were dead...instead of knowing he was out there somewhere, confused, and misguided by whispers of power, and the promise of revenge. Out of Naruto's grasp. Out of reach from his hands. His smile.
Quite honestly, Naruto knew nothing of Sasuke's home life. He had assumed for the longest time that Sasuke had loving parents...he was an Uchiha.
However, it was on that day that he finally realized that someone like him could exist. He had overheard the children, murmuring about it behind Sasuke's back, when it was evident Sasuke heard each word, and despised them for their gossip, their cruelty because if they would just shut up...maybe he could forget what happened...
Naruto took a deep breath, plucking at the petals, watching them soar through the sky, following their path to Sasuke.
Tears tickled at whiskered cheeks, following down to the heart that burned with desire for the black haired boy, the Uchiha... the person he could never forget.
Naruto's fists curled around the stem and he tossed it angrily at the floor, his face growing red with fury,
" TEME! Why'd you have to go and leave! WHY?! WHY DID YOU LEAVE US?!" He screamed, and then,
"Why did you leave me?"
Naruto's fragile mind could see the wind slowly form Sasuke, slowly, his feet, clad in ninja's sandals, to his shirt, the Uchiha symbol proudly worn on his back, and finally that beautiful face that watery eyes had gazed upon in sleep more than several times.
Sasuke looked at him, impassively, as usual, while Naruto looked up at him, tears forming at the corners of his eyes. He looked up, and smiled, and quickly emerged from his position to embrace the pale boy...his arms held out, and wrapped around the silky shirt...and then... it was gone. And Naruto came to the realization he was hallucinating once the dirt entered his mouth.
The kyuubi vessel's jacket now sodden with tears and spotted with dirt rose to a sitting position. Naruto shivered beneath it, fearful that without it; he would just break down, and topple to the floor in chilling spasms and sobs...
Naruto missed Sasuke a great deal.
He only wondered if the Uchiha knew that...
