Love Me Dead, a naruto fanfic

Summary: Okay so Sasuke and Naruto got together at last. There is no ninja world. They live in modern day Japan. Naruto is a musician who writes all his own songs. Sasuke, Naruto's "secret" boyfriend of just over a year, says he's moving away, and that he's found a new love. That's as far from the truth as it gets. But he can't tell Naruto the truth. Naruto can't handle the truth. Or can he? Sasuke swears to himself that everything he does is to protect his love…but is there more to it than he admits?

A/N: Okay…well…the song is Love Me Dead by Ludo. I do NOT by any means own Naruto or the song. You think I would be writing freakin fanfic if I did? And yeah…this is the first I've written in months, so if it bites I apologize. Anyways…Read and Review. No flames!!!

Sasuke's POV:

I swallowed hard as I sat amongst the audience, near the back of the smoke clouded room. Naruto was due to perform any minute now. I had lied to him… I told him I didn't love him anymore…I said I'd found someone else…I told him that's why I was moving away. If only he knew the truth…

The lights dimmed to a single spotlight aimed at the dead center of the stage and the chic audience of trendy poetry-club-going, never-to-be-published- novel writing, wanna-bees snapped (instead of clapping…how cliché.) as Naruto walked lithely out to center stage and sat on the edge of the single stool behind the microphone, adjusted his guitar, and began to sing in that rough, almost seductive tone of his.

Love me cancerously

Like a salt-sore soaked in the sea.

'High maintenance' means

You're a gluttonous queen

Narcissistic and mean.

His ocean eyes scoured the audience patiently as he sang, until they found me. I became trapped in those cerulean orbs. Smirking, I realized he'd written this one for me.

Kill me romantically

fill my soul with vomit,

Then ask me for a piece of

Bitter and dumb; You're my sugar plum,

You 're awful, I love you!

I couldn't resist mouthing the words I love you too, though I knew he probably couldn't see me doing it.

She moves through moonbeams slowly

She knows just how to hold me

And when her edges soften

her body is my coffin

I know she drains me slowly

She wears me down to bones in bed

Must be the sign on my head

That says, oh...

Love me dead!

I also couldn't help wincing as he said "she" or "her". I know we had decided to keep our relationship a secret…but it still stung somewhat.

You're a faith healer on T.V.

You're an office park without any trees

Corporate and cold

Gushing for gold

Leave me alone

You suck so passionately

You're a parasitic psycho, filthy creature

Finger-bangin' my heart!

You call me up drunk

Does the fun ever start?

You're hideous...and sexy!

I actually giggled at these verses. In my mind of course. Because the Sasuke Uchiha would never be caught dead giggling…unless it was just Naruto and I in private of course…

She moves through moonbeams slowly

She knows just how to hold me

And when her edges soften

Her body is my coffin

I know she drains me slowly

She wears me down to bones in bed

Must be the sign on my head

That says, oh...

Love me dead!

I was smiling, because the lyrics fit us so well, but guilt was gnawing away at my innards. Rawl! Uhng! My eyes widened at the sounds my Naruto made on stage, and I grinned whistfully.

Love me cancerously

*whistles*

Brrrot-dot-da-d-da-da!

How's your new boy?

Does he know about me?

You've got the mark of the beast!

You're born of a jackal! You're beautiful!

I winced, as the guilt was really almost painful at this point. My new boy didn't know about him…mostly because my "new boy" didn't actually exist… I sighed and stood slowly. I couldn't take this anymore. I turned and glanced at my love once more before heading towards the exit sign, glowing brightly through the haze of smoke from all the incense and candles. Naruto didn't know that…he couldn't. It hurt him…but it was better…so much better…than telling him the truth.

She moves through moonbeams slowly

She knows just how to hold me

And when her edges soften

Her body is my coffin

I know she drains me slowly

She wears me down to bones in bed

Wha' bout that sign on my head!

That says, oh...

Love me dead!

I sighed, feeling as though the heaviness in my chest may just suffocate me. The last few notes of the song strummed out on the guitar and the song came to an end. The audience snapped noisily. I left my place by the door and walked slowly to my car. It was during the drive home that I realized the tears had already begun to fall..

Okay…so…love? Hate? Review and lemme know! Please no flames! I mean it people. FYI I do not care AT ALL how OOC it was. This is fanfic, everybody is going to make the characters at the VERY LEAST somewhat OOC. And I will probably write another chapter and continue this if enough people like it. And hell, I know the format is kinda screwy. Sorry. It screwed up after I posted it, and the way the document manager has messed it up I can't fix it.
