TLW: Hello everyone, here is a new story, no I am not giving up on the other I told you guys I wanted to do another soon and this one has been at the back of my head bugging the heck out of me. It is a sad one, because it will have a sad ending, wish it could be happy…but then it wouldn't be the way it is suppose to be.

Summery: Sasuke never thought that he would fall in love; he also didn't think that he would fall in love with a boy, let alone one who is dying. See what happens when a boy comes to live with them, with his music, and unseeing eyes, he changes Sasuke.

Content: gay, m/m just so you know, character death, probable some yaoi scenes later on. Also for those of you that tell me that they are ooc, well they are that way here too.

Disclaimer: no, I don't own them, stop reminding me. –Huff-

The Piano

Chapter one: The Piano

The piano.

I hate it.

I hate it so much, as it sits there gleaming in the sunlight of our parlor, yet at the same time, I love it.

It's all I have left of him, proof that he really was here, the boy I loved. The first few weeks he was gone, I would just sit at it for hours, fingers posed to play, yet never a note was heard. I could never breathe life into this piano, no, not as he did.

I remember the hours I would spend watching him, listening as he made this piano alive. On it still sits his song, the last one he ever wrote. He told me that if it wasn't for me, that he never would have finished it. I never have played it.

I felt I had no right to. So it sits there, on the spotless piano, gleaming in the light of the parlor, waiting for its true owner to come and play it. I wait for him too, but I know he won't come, he never did.

The piano.

I love it so much. Even though it taunts me with reminders of the one I love, it also comforts me. Yet at the same time I hate it.

Who was this person you ask? How could I love this person? A man, love another? Well he wasn't like any one else in this world. Nor will there ever be another like him.

Let me tell you of the one I love, let me tell you of Naruto, and I, Sasuke Uchiha, the boy who loved him.


I was in high school when we met; he came to live in our house, from out of the country so he could attend his last year in high school. Back then I didn't know why he didn't just stay at his; I learned later on it was for a music scholarship that he came to mine.

My parents were friends with his guardian Iruka, who had raised Naruto ever since he was eight years old. I came home one day, and in our parlor, was a piano. We had never had one, my brother and I knew how to play, due to lessons that our parents made us take, but they had never had the desire to purchase a piano before, so the sight of it puzzled me greatly, but I decide to ask about it later at dinner that night.


"Mom, why is there a piano?" I asked as we ate dinner.

My mom paused with the chopsticks halfway to her mouth and her eyes looked to my father's, as if to ask 'didn't you tell them?' while my fathers seemed to say, 'I thought you did'. My brother just continued to eat his dinner.

My mother cleared her throat, drawing my attention to her.

"Sasuke, Itachi, we will be having a friend of ours son be staying with us, he is around your age actual Sasuke, and he will be going to your school too." She said, with a smile.

I took this all in stride. "Is that his piano?" I asked.

"Yes" my father said, "Iruka says that he is actual very good on it, he sent us a cd if you would like to hear it." Later on that cd would become one of my prised possessions.

"Maybe later" I said, not too interested in listening to piano music at that time in my life.

"Where will he be staying?" Itachi asked. He was still eating, none of this would really bother him, so I wasn't surprised but how indifferent my brother acted to this. My brother. He was an interesting person, I knew he loved me, and I loved him, but I wondered when his heart had gotten so frozen.

"He will be staying in the guest room at the end of the hall, right next to Sasuke's room." My mother said. I hadn't looked into that room to see the computer and the boxes that already filled it, or the dresser filled with clothes. There wasn't any real reason to.

"When is he coming?" I asked, bracing my self for having to deal with someone on a daily base's, I wasn't much of a social person, my brother was the same way.

"Tomorrow, he will be starting school the next day." My father said.

"Alright' I said, good bye to my peaceful unsocial life.


It was Sunday the day he came. I remember that I had been studying for a test the was for the next day for math in my room, when my mother had called me down to meet the 'boy' who would be living with us. It was very sunny that day.

Strange, the things one remembers when there life changes forever.


"Sasuke! Itachi! Come down here please!" my mother yelled from the living room.

I sighed as I set the book aside for later and got up to go downstairs, I saw Itachi come out of his room and together we walked down the stairs to the living room where our mother sat with father and two people we had never seen before. One had brown hair pulled back into a pony tail with a scar on his nose, while the boy, I almost gasped at the sight of him, he had short gold hair, and if you didn't know better, you would think his eyes where jewels of blue. His face was perfect, except for the scratch marks upon his face, three on each side, but apart from that he seemed flawless in my eyes. He didn't look up towards us as we sat on the empty couch. Though his head did tilt to the side towards us.

'Strange' I had thought, 'why doesn't he look at us? Unless he really doesn't want to be here'. I hadn't known that even if he had looked at us, he still wouldn't have seen us.

"Sasuke, Itachi, this is Naruto, the boy who will be staying with us, and this is his guardian Iruka" my brother and I both greeted them, to which they did the same.

"Fugaku, Mikoto, you don't know how much you have helped us with allowing Naruto to stay with you, we had no one else we could call upon to let him stay with, and since I cant move yet to this area, you don't know how much you have helped us." Iruka said as he bowed his head in thanks.

Naruto just sat there, but he also bowed his head a little. I wanted to hear him speak, just to find out what voice would go with that face.

"It is no problem; you have helped us so much in the past, not to mention the fact that you were the one that got us together." Mikoto said as she leaned into her husband.

Iruka blushed, "it was just luck, and I was hoping you guys would hit it off, but I didn't think that it would flourish the way it did." Naruto taped Iruka on his wrist and he looked down at his watch, his eyes got big and he jumped out of his seat. "Oh dear! I am so sorry, but I must be off, or I will be later for work."

Everyone rose, "it is quite alright, we understand." They all shook hands and everyone walked him to the door to bid him farewell. Naruto held onto the sleeve of Iruka all the way to the door. I found the sight funny, as if Naruto didn't want him to go so badly he would hold him here, like a child would do if there parent had to leave for work.

"Naruto, I will have my phone with me, you have yours too. I will visit as much as I can, please be safe, and make sure that you don't over tax you self, and be sure to take your-, well you know what I am talking about." He said, as he hugged Naruto, and his eyes seemed to water up a little.

'To take your what?' I thought. What was it that Naruto need to take?

Naruto smiled, and final, for the first time spoke, his voice did not disappoint. "Iruka, you worry too much. I will be fine, I shall take what needs taking, and I will rest so much they will yell at you for leaving them a bum. Don't worry; you have enough problems to make that vain in your forehead pop." He smiled as he said this, and placed a finger upon his forehead, supposedly where said vain was.

His voice was a nice tone, soft, but just a bit deep, but it suited him, 'and was just as beautiful as he was.' I thought to myself.

Iruka just laughed at this and gently batted the hand away from his head.

'alright, alright, but be sure to call me alright, if something happens." He said.

"Don't worry Iruka, if he doesn't, we will." Sasuke's mother said in a serious tone.

"Albright, now I really need to go or else I will be late." He hugged Naruto one more time, then shook all our hands and left. Just as we thought that was all, he suddenly came running back, holding a red and white cane.

"Naruto, you left this in the car" he said, handing it over to him, Naruto took the cane and placed the tip on the bottom griping the other firmly in his palm.

I realized then what it was, a blind mans cane.

Naruto was blind.

Naruto waved farewell to Iruka, as the man ran back to his car, then he turned back to us, and smiled. He placed the cane in front of him and spoke once more.

"He forgot to mention I'm blind."
