Disclaimer: I dont own Naruto, but i do own the poem.
'Everyone praised me
Everyone loved me
Everyone wanted to be like me
Not Everyone
You hated me
You hated everything I stood for
You hated the who I was
You love who I hate
I hate everyone who loves you
I hate everyone who desires you
Let us call this jealousy
Because I love who you are
I know you hate me
That's why I can't continue
I know why you hate me
And I will give you what you desire
Recognition.'
Naruto's brilliant blue eyes widened as he read the prose sent from his rival. Flipping the page, he continued to read.
'I am going to do something I should of done before. Kill myself. I will congratulate you on one thing though. You have made me love. Me, Uchiha Sasuke, loves you, Uzamaki Naruto. If you want to stop me, though I doubt you do, I will be at the river bend, just North of the village.
Goodbye, beloved.
"Sasuke. . . No. . . Don't do this!"
He ran, straight to where it was mentioned in the note.
Sasuke looked at the water. His face was reflected in the rapids that swirled and rippled before him. He would do this. Throw away the shell of a body he currently lived in. Get rid of everything. The most that would be grieving would be a fan club that was denied of him.
Smiling bitterly, he prepared to jump in. He didn't hear anything until he was only inches from the water.
"SASUKE!!!!!!!"
Turning quickly, Sasuke saw a blonde streak run into the clearing, and pull him from where he stood. He found himself in a tight embrace, with Naruto clutching him tightly.
"Don't. . .Please. . . don't. ." Was all he was able to say through his tears.
"Why do you care?"
"Because I love you!" the sobbing wracked his small frame, worse then before.
All Sasuke could do, was stand there in shock.
'Naruto loves me. . . I was about to make the biggest mistake of my life.'
It was then, that the embrace went from one-sided, to whole-hearted.
"I'm sorry Naruto."
