Tell Me Tomorrow

By: Goingthroughchanges

Chapter One

The crisp night wind brushed against the soft skin of my cheeks that burned with the cold. Music from the adjacent building pulsed through my veins and shook my heart as I absently pounded on Naruto's back. The sounds of his retching an accompaniment to the erratic music that filled the air. I looked away from the spectacle and instead focused on the street lamp that flickered above us. I wondered what would happen if the lamp just gave out and left us in darkness. Naruto heaved again the sound making me flinch. I really hated the sound of people throwing up but here I was patting the back of someone who had been throwing up for going on half an hour. However…I had no desire to be anywhere else. With every fall of my hand on his back I knew this was where I wanted to be. Not in my pent house apartment staring at the world from the safety of my home. Not in my corner office with the large windows that allowed the sun to reflect off everything in the afternoon. Not anywhere but in this alley slapping his back and watching the light above us flicker on and off. Naruto heaved one last time before sliding his hand across his mouth and straightening with a satisfied grin.

"Done?" I asked glowering at his strangely pleased expression.

"Yep." He said.

He smiled and laced his hands behind his head as he walked to the opposite wall and sunk to the ground. He stared at me with his crystal blue eyes that seemed to be made from the ocean itself and smiled.

"You going to sit?" He asked patting the dirt spot next to him.

I grimaced and looked down at my suite that had cost me a fortune but like usual I couldn't resist the pull of sitting so close to him. Begrudgingly I sat down trying not to mind the dirt that was soaking into my clothes. Naruto glanced at me then turned his attention to the sky a laugh falling deliciously from his lips.

"You are always so uptight Sasuke." He said.

I didn't respond instead I focused on brushing the dirt off my white button up. Naruto laughed again but this time it had an absence of joy.

"You know you have always been like this…." He mumbled to himself.

"It's just the way I am." I responded.

Naruto smiled pityingly and graciously changed the subject.

"How is your work doing?" He asked.

I was taken aback by the sudden question and blinked at him for several moments before turning my attention to the wall in front of us.

"It's alright. The same." I said.

Naruto nodded and shook his head as if he couldn't figure out how I could live like I lived.

"It's like you're in a cage." He said shivering.

I frowned not comfortable with the aching in my chest that his sentence brought. It was as if his words made me think about the weariness I felt at the beginning of each day.

"I'm not in a cage it's called making income and living responsibly." I muttered.

Strangely it felt like I was trying to convince myself as well as Naruto. Silence followed and for a few moments even the music seemed to fade leaving the only thing to be heard the cars rushing past.

"Are you happy?" Naruto finally asked.

He turned training his blue eyes on me with a seriousness I barely seen him express. I turned away from his searching gaze, suddenly uncomfortable and shrugged.

"Happiness is not something I believe in."

Naruto shook his head and he got to his knees turning so that he was right in front of me. I looked up studying the way his blond hair waved in the pillowing breeze and the way his eyes always twinkled with a thin layer of amusement.

"You know Sasuke there is more out there." He said.

He smiled, tapped my forehead, then rose to his full height. He stretched and yawned like a cat waking from a nap before pouncing towards the stairs that led into the club.

"There's more to life." He called before disappearing into the building. I stared up at the flickering lamp, Naruto's words tumbling through my head. 'There is more out there Sasuke.' I shook my head and laughed bitterly to myself.

"What exactly is out there?" I mumbled to myself.

I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the cool brick behind me.

When I opened my eyes the lamp had burned out.

When I opened the door to go into the club, I was assaulted with loud chords from screeching guitars, accompanied by a wave of body odor and beer. For a few moments I thought I might pass out but the moment thankfully passed and I was able to step inside the dark building and shut the door behind me. I searched for Naruto but my eyes were adjusting to the new lighting painstakingly slow and everyone seemed to be made up of the same massive moving, thriving beast. Still I searched for the only one I ever sought. My vision flickered and faltered then fell upon his silhouette. He was dancing with a girl with long blond hair that reached her waist and a long slender body of a model. She leaned close to Naruto clutching his shirt as if she didn't want to let him go for even a second while her hips grinded against him. Hot flashes of red raced across my vision and a painful roar rang in my ears. My hands turned into fist and I was sure my face contorted into one of pure hate and malice.

Yet I felt a soft hand touch my shoulder and an even softer voice ask "Would you dance with me?"

I glanced down at the person daring to interrupt my parade of hate and frowned. It was a young girl with long pink hair and a cautious smile. Her hand was perched on my shoulder in a gesture of a familiarity that I wasn't aware of.

"No." I said with a finality I hope she cared to notice.

She did and I watched as her shoulders slumped and her hand returned safely to her side.

"Okay then…well maybe another time." She said smiling tightly before walking away.

I watched her leave before a burst of cheering turned my attention back to Naruto who was now chugging two bottles of beer at once. The girl he was with was cheering along with everyone else, possibly even more enthusiastically than most. Finally with a victorious howl Naruto smashed the bottles on the ground and held up his fists like he just won a boxing match. The crowd's voices increased in volume until their voices crashed painfully around my skull. I fought the urge to clamp my hands over my ears and instead watched as Naruto stumbled over to a table. With shaking hands he hoisted himself up onto the table top and began to sway to the pulsing music. He was truly mesmerizing as he slid his hands down his body and moved his hips. Even his blond hair caught in the lights and sparkled with a light that could only be from heaven.

There he was swaying and rocking to the beat of the music…somehow making it even more beautiful than it was.

However being drunk he didn't have much balance resulting in a slip and for one heart stopping moment he was falling. I ran forward and wrapped my arms around what I hoped was his body and thankfully successfully stopped his frail body from shattering on the ground for everyone to see. I looked down at his motionless frame and realized that he had fallen into a drunken sleep. A small smile tugged at my lips as I straightened. With a gentleness I saved solely for him, I cradled him close to my chest and turned around. People watched me with suspicious eyes but parted away from me as I walked holding the sleeping angel in my arms.

The cold wind brushed against my cheek as I walked the few blocks to where Naruto's tour bus was parked in a RV parking lot. My arms felt no weariness and my eyes hungrily gazed upon his serene sleeping face. He was so lovely…the curve of his beautiful lips…his long eyes lashes and his hair that shone with the light of gold. I suddenly looked away not willing the emotions that were coursing through my body to overwhelm me. Control. That's all I had going for me in this chaotic world. Naruto moaned in his sleep and I snapped my attention back to him to make sure he wasn't feeling any pain. But I did not find a look of pain but instead a smile that brightened even his sleeping face.

"You are so beautiful." I whispered to him.

All too soon I came to his tour bus and for a brief moment I hesitated. However I knew I had to return him to his world and I had to return myself to my own. So with a reluctance I hoped wasn't obvious I opened the door and traveled up the steps. His band mates were lounging around and I involuntarily cringed. I had thankfully never been around long enough to learn their names but they were a dreadfully rough looking bunch. Long swirling tattoos that covered every inch of their bodies and piercings stuck in the most unfathomable of those places being an eye lid.

"Hey if it isn't the box man." The red head called lifting a beer to my moving figure.

I nodded in recognition but didn't slow my walk to Naruto's bed.

"Hey come on box man have a drink." The blue haired one called his lips lifting in an unfriendly sneer.

I went on still until I was at the back where rows of coffin like beds waited for their occupants.

"Hey box man don't go and rape our band member eh!" The last one Kiba called.

His name I knew…for every time he spoke he made me cringe. I pulled back the curtain to Naruto's bed and gently laid him down focusing on his sleeping face so the insults rolled off me like water. He rolled over and muttered something in his sleep, his smile falling from his lips. I stayed gazing longingly at his peaceful expression. I slowly let my fingers trail across his soft cheek before I was brought to my senses. I needed to leave. I walked through the cloud of insults and out of the bus.

"See you later box man!" They called as I stepped out into the chilly night air.

I looked up and stared up at the twinkling stars.

I turned and softly whispered "Goodnight Naru."

I stepped into my empty pent house apartment and untied my tie with shaking hands. My answering machine blinked on its table and I slowly made my way over to it as I flung my jacket on a chair. I gazed at the red blinking button for a while before pressing play. A hateful voice filled the room and I felt my jaw clench until I thought it would crack from the force of my rage. It was my elder brother Itachi.

"Hey bro. I was wondering if you could bail me out…I have repented you know. I know what I did to..."

I slammed my fist on the stop button and raced blindly toward the kitchen. I rummaged through the shelves with the intent of a mad man before finding the bottle of jack in the back cupboard. I grabbed it and didn't even bother to get a glass before unstopping it and swallowing a lung full of harsh liquid. I stumbled to a chair and rested my face in the crook of my elbow.

"Why doesn't he just die?" I hissed.

There was no answer and I slowly raised my head so I could look out the large glass windows looking out onto the city.

"WHY DOESN'T HE JUST DIE!" I suddenly screeched.

My outburst startled me and I stared stunned at my reflection for a while. A tight cautious laugh escaped my lips as I took another swallow of jack.

"Time for bed I think." I whispered to myself as I shakily stood hugging the bottle to my chest.

"Sleep is what I need." I whispered as I stumbled to my bedroom.

I stopped at the hallway and turned back to the window where the world was displayed like on a TV screen. I shook my head and turned off the light leaving the world to its darkness.

I clung onto my mother's hand as I scowled at everyone that bothered to even look at me.

"I don't understand why I have to go to day care I'm perfectly capable of handling myself." I said.

My mother only laughed a sound that despite it being directed at my comment still had the effect of making me flush with happiness.

"You are only five Sasuke…but you're right…it's only to make your mother feel better." She kneeled down and pulled me into a hug.

I breathed in her sweet scent….a mixture of vanilla and lavender. She pulled away and looked at me her black eyes twinkling in the morning sun.

"You be good for me?" She asked her smile warming my insides.

I nodded and smiled despite my previous determination to make her miserable for her decision.

"Okay we are here. Let's go introduce you to your daycare teacher." She said gently pulling me towards a white picket fence.

I tried not to gag as we went up the steps and entered the small house with the garden out front. My mother glanced around for the teacher but the first thing I noticed was the small blond boy crying on the steps. Despite not being able to see his face I was captivated by him. As if feeling my gaze he looked up. The breath shot out of my lungs and from then on I wouldn't be able to catch a normal breath around him. The blond rubbed his eyes and slowly stood and walked towards me. I took a step back as if I was afraid of him but my eyes never left his face. Suddenly he smiled holding out his hand for me to shake.

"Hi! My name is Uzumaki Naruto." I looked at his hand then at his face that the tear stains were still evident on.

Why was he smiling?

"Sasuke be polite." My mother chided.

I looked up at her and then at Naruto who was still smiling. Finally I conceded and took his hand in mine.

"Hi. My name is Sasuke Uchiha."

Naruto's smile brightened and he grabbed my hand and began to pull me toward a doorway. No words were needed and for once being out of my mother's presence was alright…as long as it was with him.
