'Thoughts'
"Speech"
With All My Heart
By: Soul and Sunshine
I crack my eyes open, and a tidal wave of light floods my vision. My surroundings are a blur, and I feel blinded. I squint and blink my eyes to adjust to the new lighting. I look around myself to absorb the setting, and I find myself in a hospital room. I can tell because it smells of antiseptic; it's an overly clean scent.
I scrunch my nose.
I squirm in my chair to readjust my sitting position, but with great difficulty, only turn to face the opposite arm-rest. My back aches as I lean forward, and I groan softly. I lift my head, looking at what I'm facing, and I see a patch of blonde resting on top of a white background. Leaning in closer to get a better view, I can hear gentle snoring, and I see the rising and falling of the sheets in unison to the breath.
This is a person.
I gaze blankly into the sleeping blonde's face, feeling calm wash over me to see him resting peacefully in my presence. Suddenly, I break from my daydream to find two pools of bright blue starring straight back. A small smile forms on the lips of the person. "'Morning Sasuke," a weak voice calls to me.
'He's awake.'
The once sleeping boy is now sitting upright in the bed, and waiting for a reply. I shift my eyes to the floor, and shuffling my feet, I give a soft, "'morning" in response. My eyes feel teary, and my eyelids drop.
'This is not the time for tears.'
My shoulders are shaking, barely noticeable.
'Get it together Sasuke. Emotional breakdowns won't help Naruto at all.'
My heart is aching and my head is throbbing.
'I feel like I'm in a dream, a dream where only the best can occur.'
My throat closes up and becomes scratchy. I can only hold back my tears. My chest is pounding to the rhythm of my excited heartbeat, and I feel relieved.
'He's okay; he's going to be alright.'
This one person can make me experience so many emotions.
Heat rises to the bridge of my nose, and expands out to the edges of my cheeks.
'Shit! I'm blushing! What do I do? Naruto can't see me like this!'
I hesitantly look up and my eyes are locked into a gaze with mesmerizing blue eyes staring back. His head cocks to his left, and his grin fades. Naruto's eyes become full of worry and his breathing becomes shallower.
'Tch. This is stupid. I shouldn't be sitting here in the dead silence. I feel choked. As if I can't breathe. But strangely, this quiet atmosphere is quite comfortable. It is calming and it's a hell of a lot better than "chatting". It would make things even more awkward then they already are.'
I tilt my head to the left and keeping my focus on the tile, I mutter something seemingly unconscious, as I can't recognize it. Naruto giggles- wait, giggles? - and I can now hear the rustling of the sheets and the creaking of the bed as Naruto sits cautiously on the edge. I shift stiffly again so my forearms are resting on my thighs and my fingers are intertwined, hanging between my knees. I glance to look at Naruto's face and his eyes seem deep. I feel like free-falling forward into the mysterious pools of deep sapphire blue.
A cough is heard, and I turn my thoughts to Naruto. His arms are extended, and his hands are tenderly surrounding my own, fingers still laced. He stares into my onyx-stone eyes. His loving expression makes my ice cold heart melt. Even the hospitalized dobe can make the 'ice-princess' Uchiha feel compassionate.
'What did I do to deserve this? My hands, with which I've used to kill, are now being held lovingly by the most caring person I know. '
Somehow, without realizing it, I'm now lying in bed with him, and my arms are snaked around his waist and my hands are resting on his stomach. I feel relaxed, so I snuggle closer, resting my chin in the crook of his neck. I breathe in his familiar scent, and that alone makes me feel at ease. Just knowing that he is here, alive, and I'm with him is all I could ask for. I slowly exhale and whisper almost silently, "I love you." I hear Naruto reply a small "I love you, too," before small snores fill the air.
'He's already fallen asleep. Tch. I love it when he sleeps. He seems so peaceful and innocent, nothing evil and demonic like the villagers accuse him of being. They just don't understand like I do.'
I kiss his forehead motherly and settle back behind him.
'I want to lay here forever with Naruto- my best friend, my rival, my lover. No one will ever change what I feel for him. He is the best thing that could ever happen to me. I love everything about him, from his bold blonde hair, magnificently blue eyes, and obnoxious orange jumpsuit, to his sun-kissed tan, and his bubbly personality.
But how could he be in love with me, Sasuke, the total opposite. With my black hair, moonlit pale skin, dark and cold eyes, and how I distance myself from everyone makes me feel polarized. We are day and night, summer and winter, dobe and bastard, even uke and seme. You'd never expect us to be a couple, but we honestly love each other.
So many damn emotions towards one person, but I guess they are just one discovery about our soul after another.'
I slowly close my eyes and grinned. Before falling asleep I think to myself,
'I love you Naruto, with all my heart.'
