Authors note: I'm not sure about this story at all, I'll only update if I actually get a decent amount of reviews lol, which is highly unlikely considering I get like 2 reviews each story, but what can I say lmao
DISCLAIMER: Naruto doesn't belong to me, if it did my baby Neji wouldn't have died and Sasuke wouldn't have married Sakura. (That bitch ;-;)
Warnings: Nothing now, will definitely change later. Some small errors.
Naruto chugged down the bitter vodka quickly, his face scrunching up in disdain as it went down his stomach. He sucked it up, inhaling deeply through his nose as the burning liquid went down his throat, wincing slightly as the strong alcoholic liquid settled in his stomach. He slammed it down on top of the bar countertop, his stool squeaking slightly at the force. The people around him looked at him in amusement and confusion, but he didn't care. He could care less. All he needed to do was get her off of his mind. Her meaning the one and only love of his life, Ino. His eyes watered at the strong taste that was still in his mouth, at least that's what he tried to blame him tearing up over, even though he knew it was for Ino. He knew he was crying because of heartbreak, of course he knew, but he would never admit that just to look like a pathetic heartbroken little boy.
His girlfriend of 2 years had just broken up with him.
Broke up with him. As if it was no big deal, as if they hadn't been dating for 3. Long. Years. She said that another man had caught her interest, and that she still loved him, but "as friends" and gave a bunch of BS on how they could still remain friends. As if he could look into those pale blue eyes again, and imagine them a completely different way. He could never do that to himself, his heart would just break all over again, and he might not be able to pick up the pieces.
He furrowed his eyebrows in anger in remembrance. He had come here to forget, to act like nothing ever happened.
But every time he tried, she came to mind. His other half. His sunshine. His reason to live. His love. His love has left him.
The way her beautiful, soft, hair the color of sunshine, would pile down to her shoulders. The way her turquoise eyes would dazzle at him whenever he would gaze into her eyes, as if they held a secret only she knew. The way she wasn't like any other woman, as if she had a fiery heart, one that would burn into you when she got angry. She had a personality, god her personality, she was a beautiful woman, but every time she spoke, he fell more and more in love with her. When he came back from the kings stable's every day, she would talk about how much she wished he would work somewhere else, and say that he shouldn't be working for a king that they both detest, and should find a quainter job, somewhere near their home. Or what used to be their home, before Ino left.
Apparently she didn't feel the same. She wanted more, she couldn't say with some old stable boy. Sure she hadn't said that, but he knew what she felt, they had been together for two fucking years, of course he knew her by now. Hell, they used to practically share thoughts with each othree had always talked about she "was above all these simpletons," Naruto just never thought he was included in that group, that was the one thing that comforted him in the thought that Ino would never leave him, the thought that she would always remain by his side.
Naruto glanced sharply at the bartender, who had just pushed him another shot of vodka. Naruto glanced at the shot, and was about to pick it up, before he realized that he had work in about an hour, after all, he had been in the bar for the whole night, and he had seen what the king does to stable boys like himself who dare come to the castle drunk, he doesn't even spare them a glance, and slices their head off mercilessly, if they were lucky. Some of them were tortured if His Majesty was having a bad day, which was pretty much most of the time, and he had heard the loud screams all the way from the stables, so he wasn't about to take that risk. Sure he was depressed over his break up, but he chose life over sorrow.
Naruto eyed the drink doubtfully again, wondering if he could just have a small taste, it's not like he was going to get drunk or anything, after all, and he did have a high alcohol tolerance. He would just a small taste he told himself, he would stay sober for work today. He picked up the drink and gulped down the burning liquid in one go, which earned him a surprised glance from the bartender, and before he knew it, he was given more, and more, and more.
Naruto stood up from the seat shakily, his legs almost giving up on him. He grabbed the nearest object in sight, which was some random girls shoulder. She glare at him and shoved him to the ground, and this time, Naruto wasn't able to hold himself up, and he piled down on the floor with a thump. He didn't even bother picking himself up, he just laid on the cold floor, almost motionless, for god knows how long. He lifted his right arm weakly to grab a nearby stool, which was luckily not a person this time. He luckily had a lot of upper arm strength, which was most likely thanks to lifting hay for the horses. He got himself up, dusting the imaginary dirt off him. He glances for a clock, something to tell him what time it is. He looked towards the bartender helplessly, and the bartended just gave a half assed finger to the clock on the far right corner.
Naruto, squinted at the far away clock, and his eyes widened when he realized he had to be at work in approximately 30 minutes. Skipping work was impossible, His Highness was supposed have a stride on his horse with his fiancé and future queen of Cordonia, Sakura. If he wasn't there, he would most likely be tracked down and killed without further hesitation. Naruto sighed, he knew he was drunk, but he could still walk fairly normal. He only staggered a little bit, plus he would probably become sober in a little while, right? He just had to whistle for a wagon and tell the owner he was going to castle; they would think he's important and let him in for free.
Naruto just sighed and headed outside.
She smiled brightly at her to be husband, wrapping her arms around him from the back intimately, making sure her breasts pressed against his chest.
"Ne, Sasuke-kun, I know we just had breakfast and we need to get changed for horseback in a while, but that doesn't mean we don't have any time for a quickie..." Sakura purred as she trailed off as seductively as possible.
Sasuke shoved Sakura as harshly as possible onto the bed, which made her whine pathetically.
"Sakura, how many times do I have to tell you this? The only time I will ever bed you is when we are married and have to do the ceremony for the Uchiha heir. Our marriage isn't even out of love, and I could kick you out of the castle right now if I wanted to, and not a single person would question it." He smirked, after seeing her tear up and start bawling. Ah, how he hated this woman.
He left the room after he changed into an elegant horseback riding haori with the Uchiha crest on the back. He waited for Sakura outside for Sakura, if he left without Sakura the press wouldn't wait a second to post rumors, such as "Who is the other woman?" and "Is our future Queen a whore?" Well Sasuke didn't care about the 2nd one, but the first one would most likely stain his reputation as the King by a bit, and he didn't want that. Sasuke would never admit it, but the one thing he fears most is damaging his rep.
