It's been five years since Naruto married Sasuke.

Their marriage was great at first. Sasuke was a little moody as usual and wouldn't open up about his feelings sometimes, but Naruto knew that Sasuke cherished him. Even though he hasn't said 'I love you' to Naruto, he knew that Sasuke loved him because of the warmth he saw in those coal black eyes whenever they locked eyes with each other. Over the years, Sasuke slowly broke that protective barrier he put around himself and allowed himself to perform affectionate gestures with Naruto.

They acted like any other loving couple.

They would go on dates to a variety of places and kiss each other when no one was looking. They would hug each other tightly at night. They would console each other whenever one of them had a nightmare. They would talk to each other everyday. They would tell everything to each other.

They would do all that with each other…until recently.

Naruto noticed that Sasuke was distant lately. He didn't come back home until late at night, when Naruto was already asleep by then. Their daily dates dwindled to zero a week. Sasuke wouldn't touch him as much as he used to. They only exchanged a few words each day. Each time they had a conversation, it felt forced.

Naruto brushed it off at first, thinking that Sasuke was just having a bad time at work. But then his worries increased to the point that they couldn't be ignored anymore when this routine continued for several months. Sasuke no longer gave him that gaze did he always did whenever he was with the blond.

Naruto finally broke down crying when he realized that Sasuke might not have loved him anymore.

It was almost a year after Sasuke's distance, did Naruto decide to move out.

It was late at night, the time when Sasuke would come home, when he packed his belongings into two large suitcases, his normally cheerful face was passive as he did so. He promised himself that he would not cry in front of Sasuke when he left. He wanted Sasuke's last memory of him to be a happy one, an image of him smiling. It was for the best. If their love wasn't mutual anymore, then it was best if they separated for good.

Naruto decided that he would let Sasuke keep the small house they bought together. The place held too many memories of their time together that Naruto wanted to forget after he leaves.

Naruto have already finished packing when Sasuke came back home. Sasuke immediately froze at the entrance of their bedroom door when he saw the suitcases.

Bewildered, Sasuke walked up to Naruto and grabbed his shoulders. In panic, he asked, "What are you doing?!"

"I'm leaving."

Sasuke's eyes widened. It was the most reaction that Naruto ever got from him in almost a year. "Why?!"

After hearing that question, Naruto was furious. Did Sasuke honestly didn't know why this was happening? After Sasuke ignored his husband all this time? All the pent-up emotions Naruto felt from the distance were starting to rise over the edge.

Naruto scowled. "Why? You know why. We have barely had a decent conversation for a year! You can't expect me to believe that we have a healthy marriage when you don't even look at me anymore."

Sasuke gaped at the revelation, but couldn't say anything.

Annoyed, Naruto forcibly shrugged off Sasuke's hold on him and proceeded to grab the suitcases. He was about to head out the door when Sasuke said it.

"I love you."

Naruto stopped walking. Did Sasuke just say those three words that Naruto thought he would never say? Naruto turned around to face him. "What?"

Naruto was stunned when Sasuke ran up to him and embraced him tightly.

Sasuke buried his nosed into Naruto's neck. He pleaded, "I-I love you. I had no idea that things were going so bad between us. I'll make it up to you! So please…Don't leave."

Naruto was speechless. Sasuke was normally too prideful to plead with anyone, but here he was now, practically begging Naruto to stay. He even told Naruto that he loved him. Never in their years together did Sasuke said that he loved him. He felt Sasuke tremble and was visibly shocked to see tears streaming down Sasuke's cheeks when he raised his head to look at him.

Naruto gulped.

Maybe he was wrong? Maybe Sasuke still loved him? And maybe Sasuke loved him more than he thought he did?

Naruto shakily hugged Sasuke back. In a reassuring voice, he whispered, "Alright, I'll stay."
