I don't own Naruto.
A/N: let's assume Sasuke took Orochi on his offer and left for the sound :E both anime and manga's gotten at least to the part where Orochi made that "offer" .;
Just Thinking About Him
How long has it been? He mused inwardly as he stared at the village from his bedroom window. She was wrapped in the covers, still naked after the previous night. What, 4, 5 years since he left him behind? Left him to live his life elsewhere...
Left.
Just like that. After all they've been through.
"Thinking about him again?"
He heard at the same time a pair of arms wrapped themselves around his waist. He hated being with her like this, but she was the only thing that seemed to be able to fill that void in him, that black hole, that bottomless pit that was left when he walked off.
"Un."
He felt her lean against him, her breath tickling his back lightly.
"Maybe you'll see him someday."
"I doubt it."
"Don't doubt it."
She made him face her, her face firm.
"Don't doubt. You never doubt."
"Every man has a first time, ne?"
She shook her head, knowing the scenario.
"Maybe I shouldn't stay over tonight."
He wasn't going to stop her when she got dressed and packed the little she brought with her to his house.
"I wonder... when you'll accidentally stop calling his name when we fuck."
He made no move of shock. He was well aware of her bitterness about his mixed feelings. No, they weren't mixed. She knew full well whom he wanted. And it wasn't her.
"Just remember, even if he'll show up, he'll leave you again. I don't want you to go through that pain again. Please..."
She loved the way he looked, basked in the light of sunrise. His face looked mature and wise beyond his years even despite the stripes which decorated his cheeks. He had grown so much since she had fallen for him. She was the first to notice him. Only fitting she'd be the first to have her heart broken by him.
"My proposal still stands. Once you get over him... we could get married. Live together, have a family. Be happy..."
But she knew he wasn't even listening, and he hadn't noticed her being gone until about an hour later.
He cared not.
All that mattered to him, for years now (4, 5 years, was it?) was the moment he'd see him again. In his mind he swore to kill the man. Yet in his heart he knew he'd hug him and never let go.
After all, he was his first kiss.
His first love.
And his undying obsession.
A/N: ok, I think the 'stripes on his cheeks' thing gave it away that it's Naruto. Otherwise... have you been paying this fic ANY attention?! .;;;
And yes, that's Hinata. Not Sakura. I doubt Sakura would've stayed with Naruto, even under the circumstances of Sasuke leaving, if he was in love with anyone else, let alone Sasuke. At first I saw it more as Sakura, but then the tone of voice that said her lines in my head got much softer and the bitterness became far more hidden, so there you have it, Hinata. She'd stay with him through that with false hope. She wakes up from that dream in this fic when she says 'fuck' instead of 'making love'. She realizes that's all it was, no love involved :E
And yes, he was thinking about Sasuke. I know Sasuke's more obsessed with Naruto than Naruto is with him, but... heck, my fic :E
