Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend...
Somewhere along in the bitterness...
I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Naruto POV

He'd gotten out of bed so suddenly. I sat up on the mattress before going to stand in front of him. The covers pooled around my naked torso. I was a little worried. He seemed like a bit of a flight risk. The last thing I wanted was for him to disappear again.
"This isn't going to last." Sasuke mused in that mysterious tone of voice that he'd perfected.
"I don't plan on staying here very long". He sounded a little hoarse but that could've just been a result of our restless sex session that ended earlier on that night.
He stood in the doorway of my master bedroom that led out into the dark hallway. The only lighting surrounding us came from the moon through the cracked window. He turned his barely clothed body in my direction and looked up at me through his dark lashes. My white collared T-shirt hung off of his lithe frame dramatically and he appeared to be shivering if only slightly.
"Where are you going? It's two a.m". I questioned confused as to what he meant. There's no way I'd let him leave my apartment this late after our night spent in between the sheets.
He just continued to stare with those blank, obsidian eyes that could've held the world behind them. I would've given it to him readily. If only he'd asked. I reached out to his shivering frame and pulled him into my chest. His unruly hair tickled my naked body. I waited for his response that never came.
"Stay". I whispered to him in my arms. "I don't want you to go". He still didn't respond and just burrowed his face deeper into my chest. We stood like that for what could've been hours. Our embrace calmed my erratic heart because at least when I hugged him he'd finally stopped shivering.
He departed later on that day, leaving behind only the scent of his shampoo. I hadn't even felt him leave.
"Fuck" I whispered with the realization that he'd gotten away. The last thing I remember was leading him back to bed and holding his small body close to mine.
It took a long while for my mind to come to the conclusion that earlier on that night Sasuke was not just talking about him leaving my apartment.
