My first posted Fanfic. Let me know what you think. I want to know the good, the bad, and the ugly. And if you think there are any "nevers" that I missed let me know. Hope you enjoy the story.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I do not own Naruto. I know it kinda sucks, but I guess I can settle for writing Fanfic.
Never
Naruto's POV
I remember when we were kids; you used to sit on the dock with you feet dangling over the lake. You would look up at me as I walked by, and I would smile and wave to you, but you never waved back. Instead you turned away, only a slight smile on your face, but you never intended for me to see those smiles, because you never smile. That's just the way you are. This was the only contact we had, we never spoke to each other. Speaking would have broken the illusion that everything was alright, but things would never be alright. We were never meant to have happy lives.

In the academy, everything changed; I never thought it would, but it did. You never smiled at me anymore, and I never showed you how much I really missed your smile. We could have been considered friends before, but now...we could never be called friends. You never looked at me with recognition. To you, I could never be considered your equal. I was only a good-for-nothing idiot. I would never again be anything more.
****
You're so confusing, you never do what I expect you to do when it matters most. You never cared about what happened to me. You would never save me. So why? Why did you risk your life for me? You risked never being able to get your revenge, you risked never waking from the eternal sleep called death, for me? I was never worth this before that, so why then? You made it very clear that you never liked me. So why?
****
What happened to you? You were never like this before. You never hated everything so much before. You never had such a strong drive for power before. You call me your closest friend, but you never once treated me like a friend. I always assumed that we were friends because I never had any friends, and I wanted you to recognize me as a great ninja. You never did. I wanted to be just like you, you were strong, you did well in school, you were a genius, and everyone praised you. I could never be like you, because everyone hates me.
What's happened Sasuke? Can't we be friends? Real friends?
Maybe not, Because we were never meant to be friends. It goes against everything we've ever been. We're complete opposites. We will never be capable of being friends. But I will never give up.
So what did you think??? Let me know. I don't have a beta yet but am currently looking, if anyone knows a good one that is available, will you do me a favor and send them my way?
