Alright well here's something I never thought I'd get back into… so yes after a hiatus that's lasted probably well over a year I've decided to edit, revamp and continue this little demon-bugger of a story. Updates will probably be super slow. I'm in college now, I'm doing things on my own, I'm growing up and doing new things. I'm busy too, I mean come on, everyone has to have some sort of life right? And many of my friends don't know that I even like anime… so there you go
anyway, to start off with, chapters are getting edited and reposted… they'll probably be longer, and different than you remember them being (at least by a little bit)… fair warning I do NOT keep up with the manga anymore (though I probably should try getting back into it…) so this story is ignoring probably many very important plot points and continuing from a rather obscure point that's probably totally irrelevant now…
Just a reminder this story is a songfic… only not… if you read all the chapter titles carefully it's the lyrics to "Brighter" by Paramore, the inspiration for this story. This is still my first super long fanfiction story so the whole thing is rather new to me.
Summary: basically, sasuke returns to konoha temporarily after losing a fight with naruto... he gets sick and the whole premise of the story is naruto's attempts at making him stay
Warning: Yaoi (SasuNaru), cursing, and maybe suggestive stuff later on…
Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, he and Sasuke would've been making out the whole show instead of fighting and being angsty…
Chapter 1: So this is how it goes…
Deep breaths, Sasuke, deep breaths. The dark eyes stared at the almost empty night sky. The cuts on his body weren't fatally deep, but they were enough that he found himself unable to stand and support his own weight. He felt lightheaded and feverish, sick, almost to the point of throwing up. "Damnit," he muttered, continuing to breathe heavily. Just breathe; deep breaths, Sasuke, deep breaths.
The stubborn, blood-stained, blonde looked up from his own position on the ground. He pushed himself onto his hands and knees and stared at Sasuke. "I told you, teme, you're coming home with me…"
Sasuke blinked, and sat in silence not even bothering to look at Naruto. After a few minutes of nothing but crickets, the occasional rustle, and the two boys equally heavy breaths he answered the blonde; "Konoha holds nothing for me anymore…"
"Damnit teme, you're such an idiot. Don't you know we fucking missed you? What about us? Don't you want to see us?" Naruto glared angrily at Sasuke, his voice sounding pained and stressed. Sasuke continued to look at the sky, and paid no attention to Naruto, or his pained voice. "You always did this…" Naruto said, lowering his voice even more and allowing pain to creep in farther, "You push away everything you've ever had, or have… just come home Sasuke…" Naruto gave it up and swallowed his pride, "Please…"
Sasuke stared at the sky and watched the tears fall from Naruto's face out of the corner of his eye. If this was how it was going to be, he didn't know what he was supposed to say or do. He knew the reinforcements would come, probably Kakashi, Sakura, and Sai. Not to mention he was in no condition to fight them, or run away, Naruto had won this fight. Sasuke didn't understand why he was even bothering to ask him to come home, at this point he had no choice.
He felt the heat in his forehead increase again and he felt dizzy. He might as well accept he was leaving, and go with as little fighting as possible. The less injuries he sustained the sooner he'd heal, the sooner he could run away again, away from Konoha, and away from Naruto. He finally swallowed up his own pride and said the only thing he thought he could, "I missed you too Naruto…"
Well there you have it chapter 1 again (yeah it's still short sorry, I'll try and make the next chapter longer… :\ but hey hope you re-enjoyed it….
