Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or else I would be the one Sasuke loves, wait no! That wouldn't work! Him and Naruto are just too cute, I will sadly not interfere with their love.
Fake
Why did no one notice the fakeness of his smiles, no one tried to get a real one out of him. But then again, he was the only one that saw his tears at night. The way his eyes would be over bright for long minutes before his unshed tears would fall from his lashes to stain his cheeks.
He didn't sob or truely even cry, his eyes just silently released droplets of salted water.
Sasuke watched night after night as that which was his tossed and turned in fitful slumber, only stopping when he gently slid in beside him.
One would think that someone with finely as tuned senses as Naruto would wake from his nightly intruder. But he never did.
Naruto actually seemed more at ease when he was there.
It was most probably because he was just used to Sasuke's presence, even craved it. He had come to take so much comfort in just having Sasuke near him, that even when he was sleeping, Sauske was not registered as a threat.
Even though it meant that he never got a proper night of sleep, Sasuke would return each evening to watch over Naruto. To protect him.
Each morning Sasuke would have the problem of detangling his limbs from Naruto, as the boy made an unconcious attempt to keep his most beloved at his side, if only for an extra few minutes.
Naruto would always wake within a few minutes after Sasuke's departure, smiling without knowing why.
By the time he was fully awake though, his heart would be as heavy as stone once again.
All the problems rushing back to him, giving him the apperance of caring the world's weight on his shoulders.
The fake smile would be back, but still no one tried to get a real one out of him.
