What if…

He'd never been born,

Never had the Kyuubi sealed inside,

Nor cared,

Didn't have a dream.

What if…

I'd never met you,

Befriended you,

Loved you,

Smiled at you.

What if…

You'd never hated,

Worked so hard,

Left alive,

You'd never been an avenger.

What if…

They'd paid attention to me,

Didn't ignore me,

Didn't teach me,

Or hate me.

What if…

I never followed,

I never cared,

I never cried,

I never loved,

"At least not for you."

What if…

"What if Sasuke?"

What if…

We'd never fought,

Never played a game of cat and mouse,

Never left the safety of our hearts,

Or clashed in a field.

What if…

She watched,

Tears in her eyes,

For me,

And for you.

What if…

It was my last breath,

Maybe my last grin,

A last effort,

The last smile.

What if…

"It hurts Sasuke…" he whispered, "Maybe if I go to sleep it'll hurt a little less."

A tear splashed among the blood, "Yeah, it just might. You've been working hard why don't you take a short little nap."

A smile crept onto his face with a little work, "I'd like that. What about you? You must be tired."

"I'll take one in a little bit," Sasuke replied his arms, barely able to hold up anything in his body.

Naruto grinned, "Okay. But don't forget to wake me up."

"I won't."

And the tears fell as his eyes closed. Never to open again. But it didn't last long, because he went to take his short nap also.

But Sasuke and Naruto wouldn't wake up. They were too tired, too weak, and too sleepy. Sasuke fell limp against a tree, Naruto in his arms.

What if…

I said the words in my heart,

What if…

You'd never died.

What if…

We'd never fought.

What if…

I never left.

"I love you."

"Shut up loser and go to sleep."

"As long as you love me back."

"I love you. Happy now?"

"…"

"I'll take that as a yes."

おわり

Well I hoped you liked. It sounded better in my head. I just never seem to be able to write scenes like this.

じゃ、 まった。
