AWOL
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.
Rain crawled down his face, the icy water etching a pattern into his hot, porcelain skin. His eyes were hooded, his lashes sticking together as drops gathered on them like the bristles of a broom left out in a storm. Soft, cold locks of hair framed hardened, pained features. The obsidian rats' nest atop his head was matted down with water weight and clung to his face, neck, back and shoulders like a desperate kitten, begging for attention. Dark black eyes stared down before him.
She lay on the Romanesque stone park bench, eyes closed in what looked like a peaceful sleep. Her flawless face was slack, her cherry-red hair falling in thick, short waves over and around her face and the gaps in the stone of the bench,. Her clothes, drenched, clung to her like a second skin, chilling her unconscious body.
He leaned down and brushed a strand of her hair out of her face, not out of an act of tenderness, but merely one of respect for the woman.
And apology.
With one last lingering gaze over her, he vanished.
A/N: This is the first chapter of an AU Naruto story. There will be very few OC characters, and the ones that are, will be minor and scarce. This story will center around a platonic/brotherly NaruSasu relationship, and probably be a SasuSaku. Don't like, fuck off.
(This story is an apology to all my readers of my other stories, I am sorry I havne't updated in a while, and I will try better.)
