Beautiful Lie
Lie awake in bed at night
And think about your life
Cold moonlight flowed into the room through slightly opened curtains of the window. A young blond man was laying wide awake on the king sized bed with dark blue sheets around. His beautiful eyes of royal blue colour were filled with sorrow and unshed tears. He had everything who anyone could wish for, everything except only one unreachable thing…
He was the Hokage of the most powerful village Konoha, he lived in a very big and well-known mansion, and he had many friends and very powerful handsome and skillful ninja as his husband.
However, what he didn't have was love…
Do you want to be different?
His very best friend, his only bodyguard and his husband was laying next to him, looking as calm and unemotional as every day. His midnight black hair framed his beautiful features, effectively contrasting with white as full moon skin. Looking at him, Naruto remembered several happy moments in their life and some light sparked in his eyes, but it died almost immediately. He knew, he didn't deserve love and happiness he was asking for.
Try to let go of the truth
The battles of your youth
Everything started in the day of Sasuke Uchiha's return. It was almost a year ago, but Naruto remembered it as it was yesterday. The elders were against it at first and demanded an imprisonment for the traitor of Konohagakure. However, then the Hokage (it was still Tsunade) said that if Uchiha get married he will be forgiven. They didn't say who he should marry, so he went to his only friend – Naruto.
The blond loved the raven for a long time and cared for him very much. And he was very happy when Sasuke proposed to him. Naruto wasn't supposed to know about elder's decision and that Sasuke married him to save himself from prison, but he knew and couldn't let them do it to his friend and secret love. He also couldn't let some stupid girl to get Sasuke away from him. So.. He let himself forget about the whole truth and agreed.
'Cause this is just a game
He thought that Sasuke liked him a little bit, that he could make his friend love him more during some amount of time. Boy, was he wrong…
Sasuke was caring at first, they went on many dates, had beautiful moments. However, Naruto felt that Sasuke wasn't ready for something more than friendship. Thus, he didn't try to force him.
It's a beautiful lie
It's the perfect denial
They didn't notice how six months went off and the day of their wedding came. It was beautiful day. Naruto felt true happiness, because he was marring the person he loved with all his heart. All his friends were here for him, making him look even beautifully. He smiled a lot, and everything was filled with joy.
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful it makes me
But it didn't last long. Everything ended at the moment he saw Sasuke standing next to the altar. The raven looked gorgeous in his black suit, but he was all tense and didn't look happy. The ceremony was very short and quite fast, and finishing it they kissed. That was their first kiss: nervous, tense and cold. That night Naruto drunk a lot and at the end he pretended to be fast asleep when Sasuke carried him to their bedroom. He wasn't ready for the wedding night, and he felt, Sasuke wasn't ready as well.
It's time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last
After the wedding their life became regular again. Naruto completely moved in with Sasuke to the famous Uchiha mansion. After awhile he become Hokage and let himself get lost in the work. He rarely was at home and when he was they didn't speak much, usually, only about work.
Hide behind an empty face
Don't ask too much, just say
'Cause this is just a game
Sometimes, Naruto saw something warm in Sasukes eyes. Usually it was when they were alone near the chimney, drinking their evening tea.
It's a beautiful lie
It's the perfect denial
One of those evenings they spend near the chimney, Sasuke kissed him. All of a sudden, without warning, just came quietly and kissed thoroughly, warmly… almost with love… Then without words he went out of the room.
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful it makes me
That night Naruto also felt how Sasuke embraced him in his sleep. It was wonderful feeling. He couldn't believe it, but he was happy. Finally, his friend started becoming his lover…
Everyone's looking at me
I'm running around in circles, baby
Since then Sasuke was more emotional, just a bit. He was more open in public, hugging Naruto in streets, shops, talking to him friendlier.
A quiet desperation's building higher
I've got to remember this is just a game
Every day, coming home from work, Naruto was letting himself embrace Sasuke, though the last one didn't embraced back every time. Kisses in cheeks become usual among them. Even if Sasuke wasn't smiling, Naruto saw that he was a bit happier than a year ago.
It's a beautiful lie
It's the perfect denial
Today's night was their first night… When they came to bed, Sasuke started to kiss him lightly, nip his jawline, caressing his stomach… Naruto forgot about everything, even his name wasn't meaning anything… He let himself be taken by the man he loved and wanted for so long… Everything that mattered was bottomless as night sky black eyes above his. It was sensually, slowly, lovingly and, seemed, endlessly.
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful it makes me
After this they embraced each other and Sasuke almost immediately fell asleep. Naruto would have too, if only…
If only he didn't saw a shadow outside the window. A shadow of some ANBU was with a notebook in the hands and a pencil.
A silent, almost unheard whisper broke Naruto's heart on peaces…
"Check!"
So beautiful, beautiful...
Sasuke didn't love him, he was just saving his life. Nothing more…
