Uchiha Sasuke is fifteen this year.
He feels old.
Not that fifteen is technically what one would call "old", but to a boy who would like to be seven forever, fifteen is as old as fifty.
"You're becoming more and more like an old man, Sasuke," Kakashi dropped the bomb one day, in a tone suited for discussing the weather. His team-mates agreed; even Sakura went a bit pink and nodded.
From then on, he started to notice how his behaviors are straying more and more away from those of his peers.
Most teens his age would take their obsession of caring for their appearances to the extent of fixing their clothes every five minutes; can't pass a remotely reflective surface without stopping to check their hair.
Sasuke would just walk straight into the Hokage's office in the morning without so much as brushing his hair or looking into the mirror. And he can't understand why wearing the same outfit is a problem for some.
While most teens his age would take great pleasure chatting about trivial matters, bitching to others (socialising, is that what they call it these days?), he'd rather spend a great portion of his time in silence. If silence is gold, then he would be a very rich man.
Teens his age would stuff their faces with useless excuses of food. Rot their teeth out with sweets which have enough sugar in content to drown a small island. And endeavour in avoiding vegetables.
Sasuke would steer clear from those foods at all cost. He might be a bit shy to admit it, but he does prefer Brussles sprouts over chocolate. He'd also rather have food boiled than deep fried. Recently, he has taken a strange liking towards quiche.
Boys his age would talk about how cool it would be if there is a war between the five countries. Also how when that time comes they're going to be the heroes of Konoha and "wipe the floor with their opponents' ass".
Then again, Sasuke really doesn't want war anywhere; if he wanted the floor wiped he would use a mop. He would rather spend his life in peace. Except that wish will only come true after he kills Itachi.
While teens his age would talk about their dreams (as grandeur as they seem). He knows such dreams come with a price. And anyway, dream is a term he has long stopped using.
Despite their age, teens his age still haven't got a clue what they want their futures to be (except being a shinobi, cause everyone wants to be a shinobi!). On the other hand, Sasuke knows exactly what he's going to do, what rank he wants to be, and what he has to do to get there. He has even planned a budget for himself
In summer, teens his age would jump into the pool to cool off. He'd rather sit under the shade in the forest, with lemon flavoured shaved ice in hand, listening to the wind.
Teens his age would go out and party, if not once in a while, get drunk and do something stupid. While Sasuke would rather train and work up some sweat, or spend time with those precious to him—Kakashi sensei, Sakura, and Naruto.
Naruto.
While most teen his age would rampage with excess hormone in their bloodstream, and fuck around; guys competing who has had more girlfriends (or bedded them), and vice versa.
All he wants to do is to cuddle in Naruto's embrace, only to realise that he wants to spend the rest of his life with the kitsune.

Heh, that was the last day of my holiday, so I thought I might as well spew something out…
One of the easiest fic I had to write so far…
I would like it to be longer, but can't think of anything else to write.
