x. Real I need to know if you
were real...
Sasuke watches the moon and listens to the beat of a heart next to him. He can feel the calm rise and fall of the smooth chest beside him. And he can feel warm wisps of Naruto's breath run across his skin. Sasuke knows Naruto is not asleep. Because he just knows. Naruto never does anyways. And he closes his eyes, pretending to fall into a deep sleep. He knows he shouldn't feel cold when it was so warm, but he does. Sasuke doesn't question it anymore than he questions why Naruto does not meet him eye to eye in the day.
Sasuke feels the warmth of another body against his disappear.
And he finds that Naruto was never really here. He gazes at the open window, ignoring the breeze that left his body cold. But he makes no sound--because Sasuke knows this is the only way he can have him.
