Someone had asked me to do a fic where Naruto is an alcoholic. THIS WILL BE AN AU and OOC
Here goes.
Day after day, week after week, he promised himself he'd stop. But he didn't. He couldn't. Naturo Uzumaki, the whiskered hero, was an alcoholic, and he couldn't stop.
Naruto walked into his room, slamming the door and fell onto his bed face-first. He rolled over and exhaled harshly, trying to force the stress and pain out of his body via his breath. It was exhausting, always pretending that everything's great and nothing's wrong. Although he seemed like a normal teenager, his life had been everything but that. Abandoned by his family and ostracized by his town, Naruto had grown up on the streets, moving from city to city, trying to find some place that would take him in. But no one would. For four years he lived like that, trying to find a home but being turned away by everyone.
Then one winters day everything seemed to change. Naruto had been walking on the side of the street, looking at the ground, trying to keep himself wrapped in the old blanket he had found in someone's back yard, when he walked right into someone. He fell onto the ground, throwing out his hands to break the fall and shredding the skin on his palms. He sat up and looked at the person he had walked into, staring up into a pair of jet black eyes, as cold and piercing as the wind that swirled around them. The pale skin, the jet-black hair, the air of superiority, standing over him loomed Sasuke Uchiha, the one who would become Naruto's savior and the cause of his agony.
Naruto looked up at the teen before him, drawn in by those piercing eyes, not noticing the hand that had been extended towards him. After a few seconds, Naruto became aware that he was still on the ground and, taking the bone-white hand before him, lifted himself off the ground and back onto his feet. Just as he was about to walk away, Naruto heard the man speak
"come with me" he said. Naruto turned to face the man once more, searching his face for emotion, finding none. He decided to follow the young man, caring only about escaping the cold.
It had been two years since Sasuke had taken him in, two years since someone had started showing Naruto kindness. The trouble was, the more time he spent with Sasuke, the more confused he got. Naruto had never been good at reading people, and Sasuke was no different. He was impossible to read. Whatever he did, whatever he said, Naruto would read into his actions, beating himself up over his emotions while trying to convince himself that he was imagining things.
"Who am I kidding?" Naruto thought to himself, "there's no way he feels the same way I do. He just doesn't realize what he's doing. He doesn't mean it"
Day after day Naruto told himself this, trying to force himself to believe that he didn't feel anything towards the pale teen, but no matter how hard he tried, he failed. He knew deep down that he had started developing serious feelings towards the boy who had taken him in at the age of fourteen and he hated to admit it. He would come home everyday from school-it was because of Sasuke and his family that Naruto got to go to public school-and make a beeline for his bed. He would reach under the mattress into the space he had made and pull out the bottle of vodka-the one thing that made him forget his pain. Day after day, he would drink his stress and confliction away. Week after week he would try to sort out his feelings, only to wind up nursing a bottle of whatever alcohol he could get his hands on.
"Anything to make the pain go away" had become his motto. He had cut before and dabbled in drugs, but nothing dulled the pain quite like alcohol. The cheery façade he put on for everyone fell away the minute he reached the solitude of his bedroom, the one place where he could escape everyone and everything, especially Sasuke.
The boy who had saved him, pulled him to his feet and shown him a new life, had now become the reason Naruto drank religiously, the reason he couldn't bear being around the ebony-eyed teen, the reason why he, Naruto Uzumaki, relied on alcohol to make him forget the pain and confusion Sasuke caused him.
I will make this a multi-chap if people want me to. Just give me some ideas.
