My goodness, this took me, like, 5 hours to write (XD) ! Anyhow, this is really my kind of first fanfiction. I don't care for flames but whatevs.
I don't own Naruto or any of the characters aforementioned. I wish I did, though T.T
Hope you have as much fun reading this as I had writing it 3
Sasuke picked up a handbasket and waited for the automatic doors of the supermarket to open. He extracted a shopping list (with slight difficulty) from the pocket of his jeans, then proceeded to the canned foods aisle. As he reached for the cream of mushroom soup, a song came on over the radio.
Was it you who spoke the words
That things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen
Naturally
Our song, he thought. As the soft, passionate voice singing about lost love reached his ears, his eyes slid shut. He remembered the months he spent with the hyperactive blond that he had fallen in love with. It's been two months but I still can't let go of him. His hand paused in its path to the shelf as another verse started.
Oh taking your advice and I'm
Looking on the bright side
And balancing
The whole thing
Naruto held a carton of milk in his hand as he re-read his grocery list. Ramen, eggs, milk (got that)... Now to get some pasta, that's next to the soup aisle... His thoughts trailed off as a familiar tune came on over the radio. You and I Both... that was our song. Naruto sank down against a row of shelves holding spaghetti, a bright poster advertising the two for one deal. His eyes closed as he remembered Sasuke. His voice, his clothes, the feel of his hair as it was combed through Naruto's fingers, the feel of his touch as they hugged.
Oh but in often times those words
Get tangled up in the lines
And the bright light turns to night
Oh until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was
You and me
Sasuke put his hand down and, with eyes still closed, sank down to the floor of the aisle, back resting against packages of instant ramen. Naruto's favourite, he thought as he lost himself in the bittersweet lyrics. He remembered lots of things, good, bad, some he shouldn't even know, like the tattoo that circled the blonde's navel, hastily covered up when his presence was detected but uncovered again after a long night together. Like the whisker scars that some thought marred his appearance but what Sasuke thought were beautiful. How Naruto's hair looked like strands of gold in the light, tossed by the breeze and kissed by the sun. How something inside of him longed for the blond when he was away. But he couldn't miss that feeling. He still had it.
Because you and I both
Loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read of
The love
Oh the love that I loved
Yeah
Love-a lova
As Naruto absorbed the song and its muted passion, he imagined Sasuke sitting next to him, holding him close and saying that nothing would ever get between them again. Naruto chuckled, that would never happen, Sasuke was gone and he wouldn't come back. Like the song said, nobody could imagine the depth of the love that he loved for Sasuke. He noticed the occasional weird looks he got from other shoppers, but that didn't matter to him. What he didn't notice was the solitary tear that made its way down his cheek and the others that chased it down.
See I'm all about them words
Over numbers
Unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages
pages, pages, for words
More words than I had ever heard
And I feel so alive
With the next verse came another flood of memories. Sasuke remembered the words that he and Naruto exchanged over their months together. Words of love when they were together, words of sadness when their best friend Sakura left to go to college across the country, words of anger and frustration when Naruto wanted ramen when he had made domething else or when Naruto fussed because he was too concerned about cleanliness and order when "you have a whole life to live outside of your little OCD world, Sasuke!", words of happiness when they realized for the first time that they were in love. Sasuke heard a weak sniffle from the other side off the shelf rack, but he passed it off as something from his imagination. I've been thinking of Naruto too much, he thought. But maybe too much is not enough...
Because you and I both
Loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Oh, love love
You and I
You and I
Not-so-little you and I anymore
M-mmmm
Naruto sniffled pitifully as he thought of Sasuke. He probably doesn't care. That's okay, we didn't work... Naruto opened his sky-blue eyes and blinked away the many tears that had followed the first. He paid attention to the melody of the song. It seemed to come from him, how he and Sasuke had shared something that others only read about, some kind of fairy tale love where you never know you love the other person until you both realize it together. That was how it had happened, he recalled. They both were sitting on the roof of the school after graduation. Sasuke was going to go to college nearby, but Naruto was going to London for a degree in music. As they sat together watching the sunset, they both seemed to realize it. They looked at each other, then Sasuke leaned over. They kissed until dark, not caring what other people thought or saw. Naruto moved in with Sasuke for the summer. It was the best one of his life. He had never been loved like that, ever. He never had parents, and Sasuke's family was dead and his brother was a wanted criminal. But Naruto loved him anyway. It wasn't some little fling. It was real.
And with the silence brings a moral story more importantly evolving
Is the glory of a boy
Because you and I both
Loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well I'm almost finally out of
Finally out of
Finally de de de de dee
Well I'm almost finally finally
Well I am free
Oh, I'm free
His eyes were the most beautiful shade of blue. The sun got brighter when he was around, Sasuke thought. That was the most remarkable thing about Naruto, even though he had nothing he acted like the whole world was smiling with him. His sunny personality and hilarity brightened up even the darkest corner and reached into Sasuke's soul and made him smile. A smile from Naruto was like the sun was shining only on you, making the bottom of your soul warm. I still love him, he thought, and I need him back.
And it's okay,
If you had to go away
Oh just remember the telephones
Well they work kinda both ways
But if I never ever hear them ring...
If nothing else
I think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else
And that's okay
Because I remember everything you sang
I love him, Naruto thought. I love him, I love him and I need him. Naruto stood up, causing a box of cheap store-brand pasta to fall off of the shelf. He stooped to pick it up, but as he did, he heard a rustle from the aisle over. He looked through the holes in the metal and saw a pair of pitch-black eyes glittering. "Sa-sasuke? Is that...you?" Naruto asked through the shelves. He saw the eyes leave and heard heavy, even footsteps walking to the end of the aisle. Naruto dropped the pasta and cautiously stepped close to the end of the aisle just as Sasuke turned the corner.
As soon as Sasuke turned into the aisle, his gaze became trapped in the blond's blue eyes that held so much sadness where happiness used to be so prominent. "Naruto," he asked, "is that really you?" The blond shook his wild mane of hair and half-ran to Sasuke. His arms wrapped around the thin body as Naruto sobbed into Sasuke's shoulder. "I can't live this way, Sasuke. I need you back. I still love you." Sasuke couldn't hold back his well-controlled tears as Naruto said that. "I love you too, dobe. This isn't going to happen again." Naruto lifted his tear-stained face to Sasuke's and gave him a soft kiss. They realized that no words could be said that held the same amount of meaning as that kiss.
Because you and I both
Loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well then I'm almost finally out of
Finally out of
Finally de de de de dee
Well I'm almost finally finally
Well out of words.
Well.
That was... interesting. I have no idea. I was listening to that song You and I Both by Jason Mraz on my iPod when I thought that it would be a great fanfiction... I have no idea if I'm right on that assumption, so you have the advantage of telling me if I'm wrong or not :3 To do that, PLEASE send me a review 333333
X3 review, dahling 333
