We're not falling in love, we're just falling apart.
^&^&^
Lips crashed together, fingers scrambling for purchase as bodies collided. Passion spread like wildfire as their pain was eclipsed by the crashing sensations of lust and longing, forgotten until the morning emerged yet again.
As they lay in bed, they cradled each other close as lust and longing faded to desperation and regret. It was a shame what happened to the two. Unwarranted death and war without cause had degraded these kindred spirits with futures brighter than the most dazzling sky to nothing more than mere tortured souls with no greater ambition than surviving through the desolate night.
Sad, really.

"Naruto?"
Cerulean eyes gazed up languidly at the raven-haired boy, ready to once more comfort the fallen teen.
"Do you think… it'll ever get better?"
His broken onyx eyes gleamed dejectedly at the question, his vulnerability unnerving. No one ever realized how confounded and dispirited this teen truly was. Torn down and broken by the crushing expectations of society, he would never be the same again. Like ripping the wings off of butterflies, Sasuke would never again be able to soar.
Naruto leaned up and captured his lips in a searing kiss. His assurance of love was nothing more than demonstration of their bond over mutual pain and shared despair. Despite its once being severed, anguish and loss had affixed it. They didn't love each other… but this was all they had.
As they parted for air, Naruto whispered softly "I don't know Sasuke." He leaned his forehead against his shamed comrade's and whimpered "I just don't know.
Sasuke's eyes glistened with untold emotion, his Uchiha mask disintegrating under the pressure of it all. "But you'll always be here, right?"
His voice seemed flat on the surface but Naruto could hear the underlying need. Naruto smiled dazzlingly, his reassurance fake but the affection behind it real as he breathed "Of course." And he meant it.
He would be there everyday till it no longer hurt. He would remain by his side till his chest no longer ached and his eyes gleamed with that brilliant defiance and arrogance once more.
"Good." The Uchiha managed a watery smirk before burying his face into the blonde's shoulder.
Until then…
Do you know why the rain comes?
It's because someone is praying for all
your sadness to be erased to comfort you.
It seems as if I've already known you since I was young.
After I met you, I even stood in daybreak's heavily falling rain
to help you. I was the one who believed.
When the rain comes, think of me. Will that give you strength?
I've left and my trace is over the rainbow.
Sorry
Ever since an age too young,
I think I was already dirty.

A/N: Okay, I just wrote this and I'm already disappointed with it. It's way too familiar to me. I feel like all my work is this similar angsty fallen sasunaru. But then again, I'm really not that big of a fan of happy-go-lucky sasunaru. I feel like there's too much trouble and turmoil in their world for it to be all happy and sappy.
Btw, the song at the bottom of the page is the English translated version of Over the Rainbow by The Trax. Love them!! You should totally check their stuff out. They're an amazing Korean rock band. Oh and the quote at the top of the page We're not falling in love, we're just falling apart. is from the song Fer Sure by Medic Droid... that's kinda what inspired the oneshot so I had to include it. Anyway, hope you enjoyed!!!
