The first raindrop fell onto the high point of Sasuke's cheek; a small pinpoint of pressure. Others followed quickly, catching Sasuke in the downpour that followed his battle with Naruto at the Valley of the end
He had won; Orochimaru's curse combined with his own willpower was ultimately no match for Naruto.
Without warning, Sasuke gasped, his chest tight, his eyes sore and his arm ebbing away at him as his seal flared up in a hot flash, forcing him onto his knees; these actions ensuring his clothes stuck to his saturated skin.
He shivered as he found himself hovering over Naruto, staring down blankly as he watched the the rain drown the boy underneath him.
His lips parted, quivering, eyes cloudy, tears camouflaged into the rain that ran down his face, landing onto Naruto's forehead protector with a soft pat, that he couldn't have heard over the dull roar of the rain falling around the two.
He wondered when he had fallen in love, when he had wanted Naruto, someone who was rejected and unwanted, so much.
Almost sobbing, almost torn apart, with his remaining strength he pulled his body up and away from Naruto's unconscious form; too afraid, afraid that if he stuck around any longer, he wouldn't be able to stop himself.
If Naruto gained consciousness, Sasuke wouldn't know if he could stop himself from catching his lips quickly in a kiss that would catalyse something more intimate than just a friendship between them.
And he couldn't let Naruto go after that.
Sasuke turned from Naruto's form, one hand resting on Orochimaru's curse, the other hanging limply beside him, taking one last miserable glance at Naruto, before moving into the darkness, seeking shade from the ever increasing intensity of the rain.
