Another goodbye fic. Sort of in a morbid mood and wanted to try something new.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
An hour isn't long enough to say goodbye to anyone.
But they did.
In a too clean hospital room, they said goodbye to a body covered by a sheet because it was supposedly too bad to look at him. The white sheet was stained by blood. The bright crimson blood. There was a lot of dots from tears that realized how much meaning he had to them.
Saying goodbye in an hour was unrealistic.
It really takes a lifetime to say that one word no matter how careless it is thrown about.
The room is empty except for the body covered in the stained sheet and the silver haired man, who is tugging his mask down his face. He removed his hitai-ate and allowed Obito to cry freely with him.
Five steps.
Five steps from his seat to the body.
Five steps he'll never forget.
Five steps one will never experience.
"I love you," the silver haired man whispered. He pulled back the sheet to look at his dead love's face. It was pale and lovely. There were small nicks all over it, but the silver haired man didn't care. He traced his lover's scars gently as if not to wake him. He wished to see playful eyes looking up at him. He wished he could be back in their apartment where they were both safe. And alive.
"Hurry up." The nurses needed to get the body to the morgue to be prepared for the funeral. The silver haired man already heard the will for the body to be burned. It would almost be like the feeling they both got when they kissed. Like their souls burned for each other.
"I love you," the man whispered again. He ran his fingers through lifeless hair that dulled in death. Everything dulled in death. He kissed the frozen lips and cried into the lifeless chest. "I will never say goodbye." The man quietly left with the sheet still pulled back and a few tears left on the body's scarred cheeks.
LINE
Funerals should never happen on sunny days. It's more depressing than anything.
He thought it's fitting because of who was getting buried.
They thought he's just an ignorant ass. (They didn't know how badly the silver haired man wished to just break down and cry).
The body is clean and dressed up to look presentable. His things (hitai-ate, orange jacket, and fox mask) are presented to the silver haired man. Some people wanted to protest, but they can't as the silver haired man is crying as the pyre is lit. (Only Tsunade ever knew)
Goodbyes were thrown around at the end of the day. The ashes are presented to the silver haired man who puts them in a chest that contained a pair of goggles with orange lenses, a broken tanto, an old three pronged kunai, and a beat up medical pack.
A box full of memories.
A box full of the dead and never coming back.
He closed the chest and cried. He couldn't say goodbye again. It hurt too damn much.
I can't say guess the characters because it's obvious and I put them as the characters at the top. Haha, this was just for fun and to test something out while I'm brainstorming things for Ice Cold. – Kyuubi no Kitsune0101
