The closet is closed...

Why? Why can't I just dissapear? It's not worth it. At all...

He thought, as the water ran down his face, mixing up with his salty tears. The warm water felt like fire to his open wounds, but he ignorred the pain. A smelling mix of water, shampoo and blood ran down the drain underneath him. A small sob escaped his lips, and he pushed his warm cheek against the cold tiles. It only made his head ache worse.

I haven't done anything to them. It just continues. I don't wanna be here...

When Sasuke first announced to the school, he was gay, allmost everyone reacted like he feared. Nearly all the girls started crying. Some of them even said, that their lifes was over. The guys was afraid of him. And in gym class he was forced to change in the broomcloset.

Naruto, luckely, didn't care. He chose to support him, and help him. But he kind of counted on that, them being best friends and all. But one person surprised him. Sakura. She didn't join the crowd of, first crying, now bitchy talking girls. She was the captain of the cheerleading squad, and when she deffended Sasuke, they kicked her out, and she was replaced by Ino.

After the whole chaotick announcement, Naruto and Sakura moved in in his appartment. Naruto could move in and out as he wanted to, he had no parrents either, but Sakuras mom put op a hell of a fight. She didn't like a fifteen year old girl moving out, and then woth two boys... Sakura had to lie, and say that Sasuke and Naruto was a couple. Her mom chilled, and she moved in... On trial! After all Sakura did to him, Sasuke felt like a piece of shit, being so nasty to Sakura. But she just said, that she understood now why he didn't like her: He simply didn't like girls at all. And she wasn't offended.

"Hello! Anyone home yet!"

Oh shit! Sakura isn't supposed to be home yet...

"Oh, no... Sasuke, are you in the shower..."
She said with a sad voice. Her and Naruto knew that when he showered straight after school, some homofobic assholes had kicked the crap outta him.

"Yea..."
Sasuke sobbed. After a couple of minutes silence, he continued.

"Please don't tell Naruto..."
Everytime, Naruto heard that Sasuke had had his ass kicked, Naruto went crazy. He found the guys, threadened them, just to get his own ass kicked too... Sometimes he succeded in damaging them a little too, and he didn't want Naruto to do anything this time...

"Why not?"
He could hear her leaning towards the bathroom door.

"It was him..."
"Oh..."

'Him' was code for Gaara Sabakuno. He was the guy, Sasuke had fallen for. And he was the guy giving Sasuke the hardest time.

"I won't...!"
Sakura said.
"Thank you..."
"Get dressed, and i'll take a look at your wounds..."
"What makes you think i have wounds...?"
Sasuke asked. He hated to be wouldnerable in front of Sakura, and of all persons; Naruto.

"I can smell the blood, Sasuke..."
She said, as her voice shivered. He got out of the bath, and dryed himself with the towel. He put on the clothes, he put out on the sink. As soon as he opened the door, a pink girl literally jumped onto him. Her hands tightened around his neck, and she cried. Normally, Sasuke would push her away with disgust, but not now. He needed the hug.

"Oh, Sasuke, im so sorry! I promise you, next time, i'll do something!"
She said. As she pulled away, Sasuke noticed a tiny bruise on her cheek. It was clearly tried covered with makeup. As he tried to touch it, she pulled away.

"Who did this to you?"
Sasuke asked, furious.

"Its... I just... Ino did it..."
Sakura realized it won't do any good lying to Sasuke. He would find out anyways.

"And why?"
Sasuke dreaded the answer.

"Because... They was talking shit about you, Sasuke, in the locker room, and i... I snapped. You should see Ino though. Her pretty face's spoiled for life!"
Sakura said, forcing out a laugh. Sasuke couldn't help being surprised.

A violent Sakura... Thats new...

"Okay, lets see..."
She said, and opened her first aid kit. She had been taking nursery with Tsunade as teacher, and Sasuke couldn't think of a better allied, of when he was beaten up, than the nurse girl. He was gratefull towards her. And he wasn't scared of admitting it anymore, because now he knew she wouldn't take it in a wrong way, assuming he was in love with her, or anything. She lightly pressed a ball of cotton against his wrist. He clunged his teeth in pain. Whatever that shit was, she put on it, it hurted like hells flames!

"Don't worry, im done soon!"
Sakura said, smiling at his grimache - He obliviosly looked funny. Oh, joy! Now he was laughed at too...

"Im hoooome!"
Narutos cocky voice spoke out to the people he assumed was inthere. Sakura closed the first aid kit, and threw it, with a pannicked move, down behind the toilet.

"Hey! What are you doing inher - HOLY FUCK! WHO DID THIS SHIT TO YOU, SAKURA?"
He asked with true horror in his voice.

Maybe he isn't as unaware as I first thought...

Sasuke thought with a smile. Sakura tilted her head.

"Ah! This is nothing! You should see Ino! Heh!"
She smiled, and stuck her tounge out. Naruto laughed.

"Way to go, Sakura-Chaaan~~"

She punched him at his shoulder.

"Don't call me that, it's annoying!"

Sasuke smiled. His friends was the same as ever, allthough he had changed.

"How about..."
Naruto lowered his voice.

".. him..."
Sasuke looked desperat at Sakura.

"Is he still mean to you?"
"Actually..."
He knew he couldn't lie to Naruto. no point, he would find out anyways.
"Um... Actually... I told him today..."
Sasukes voice shaked. Narutos eyes turned dark. He knew how this scenario had ended. His tanned armes wrapped around Sasukes pale ones. The tears came back, forcing Sasuke to sniff. Sakura joined in, wrapping her arms around Sasukes right, and Narutos left. In what seemed like years, they was just standing there, feeling the cloeseness, and safety.

At least...

Sasuke thought.

... I have these guys...
