Hello my beloved readers! How's the story to all of you? To tell you in advance, there is going to be a lemon in the next chapter. I'm sorry people who wanted to review, or whatever, on my first chapter and couldn't because they don't have an account. I didn't notice that I didn't allow anonymous people review . . It works now.
Rain.
It was still raining. It's been a week already. It's pouring so hard. It's gloomy and sad. Just like how Naruto's heart is.
Dark and full of sorrow. Naruto still doesn't know why Sasuke said that. Every time Naruto walks up to him, Sasuke always walks away or ignore him.
'My heart hurts so much… Why did this happen…? What did I do wrong…?'
Naruto thinks that every single day. Why?
Nobody knew Naruto was in pain. He did a good job of keeping a smiling face up, but he couldn't take it anymore. They all found out Naruto was hurt yesterday…
Flashback
It was a normal day of school. Classes went by normally, but during fourth period Naruto felt like he was going to just break down and cry.
He wanted to go home as fast as possible so he can cry.
His aunt, Tsunade, heard him cry one day. She was finished making dinner and yelled to Naruto to come down. When he didn't come down she was surprised because there was ramen for dinner and went upstairs.
That's when she heard. She barged in and saw him crying on the bed. She was worried, but first said that big boys don't cry and when she got no response to that, she became more worried. Tsunade tried to find out what was wrong, but he didn't say anything. She didn't force him to say anything, so she dropped the subject and tried to comfort him.
Tsunade said she was going to bring dinner to him and left saying, "When you're ready to tell me what's wrong, I'll listen to you. Don't make me worry so much."
During lunch, Naruto and his friends were at their normal table eating their lunch.
Naruto puts his smiling mask on, but it came off when Sasuke came into the cafeteria. Just one look at him and his mask fell. Naruto just broke down crying. His sobs were loud as it vibrated throughout the cafeteria.
It shocked everyone. And when I say everyone, I mean the whole cafeteria.
No one ever saw Uzumaki Naruto cry that much before. And did not want to again, now that they know his crying form is so sad that even people watching him got sad.
His friends were shocked as well. Never did they see Naruto cry like that in the years they knew him. They snapped out of it and tried to comfort him.
No matter what they said, Naruto wouldn't stop crying.
Then Iruka-sensei came by and saw Naruto crying. He asked, "What happened?" but no one knew the answer.
Iruka-sensei told them to take him home. All of them brought him home because they were all worried. Hell, even Gaara and Shino had a bit of worry in their faces.
Tsunade was surprised to see everyone in front of her house, but was replaced with worry when she saw Naruto. She brought Naruto up to his room as everyone crowded the living room. They all sat there in silence until Naruto's sobs was gone and Tsunade came down the stairs saying they could go back home or school now. Of course they picked home and everybody went separate ways thinking:
'What happened to Naruto?'
End of Flashback
The next day came and it was still raining and the teachers were thinking of an indoor graduation. Kiba, Hinata, Neji, Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji, Lee, Tenten, Gaara, and Shino were in a small circle discussing what was wrong with Naruto.
"Maybe he went bankrupt," suggested Kiba
"Stupid! That's not worth crying so much over!" exclaiming Sakura.
"Sakura's right. Are you stupid or what?" yelled Ino. For once they agreed on something.
"Whatever made him cry like that has to serious! Oh youth!" Lee shouted. Everyone just glared at him
"Maybe he was hurt in some way that made him cry from pain," said Hinata, not stuttering one bit. She was too worried to.
"It's not that, I'm sure of it," said Neji, disagreeing with his cousin. "Remember when he broke both of his legs and got cuts all over his body when we were first years? Naruto didn't even cry. He only laughed saying how it really hurt."
Everyone thought of that time and sweat dropped.
"And if he cried because of pain," Neji continued, "then the wound would've been big and he would be in the hospital."
"That's true," Shikamaru said. Everyone looked at him in shock. He was participating in the conversation for once and was not saying "troublesome." "I'm still amazed that he healed from that accident."
Shikamaru finally noticed everyone was staring at him and said, "What?"
"Nothing."
Chouji turned to Gaara and Shino, who didn't say one word yet. "Do you guys have any idea?"
Everyone turned their eyes to them as Gaara and Shino shared a glance. Then Gaara sighed and said, "I think I know."
Gaara felt himself being jumped on by his friends. "WHAT?!" they all asked.
"Get off," he demanded and everyone did. No one messes with him even though he's their friend. Well, with the exceptional of Naruto.
"When Naruto came back from talking to Sasuke," Gaara started. "He acted a little weird. And the days after that, he acted weird too."
Everyone thought back and Sakura spoke up. "Now that you mentioned it, he was acting weird these pass few days."
"So Sasuke is the cause of this?" asked Kiba.
They all thought about it and at the same time they said, "Yeah..."
They all snapped their glazes at Sasuke. Sasuke felt himself being stared (glared) at and looked in their direction meeting all of their eyes.
He saw them get up and started walking to his desk and when they reached him, he said, "What?"
"What did you do you Naruto?" Neji asked
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Nothing."
Then they heard a snap. Kiba launched himself to Sasuke, grabbing onto his collar and yell, "What the fuck did you do to Naruto?! Answer me! And don't you dare say 'nothing'!"
Sasuke looked surprised but was replaced with a blank look. "I didn't do anything."
Before Kiba responded, Naruto ran into the room exclaiming, "Good morning everyone!"
He got a few responses and noticed his friends surrounding someone. He walked up to them with a smile on his face, but dropped a bit when he noticed who they were surrounding.
'Why are they surrounding Sasuke?' floated to his mind.
"What are you doing?" he asked with a confused face.
Kiba let go of Sasuke's shirt and responded. "Oh nothing. Just telling Sasuke something. Don't worry, it's not that important." Then they walked away to their seats.
'Saved by Naruto,' thought Sasuke.
'-Sigh- They make it sound like Naruto is the only one hurt, even though they don't know what happened. I'm hurting too, in the inside.'
One Week Later…
The sun was shining ever so brightly as if it didn't rain at all couple of days ago. The ray of light flashed on a certain blonde hair boy making his hair brighter than it already is.
Naruto has been building up the strength to go tell Sasuke that he loved him, even though he knows that Sasuke doesn't love him.
Naruto arrived at school and went into his homeroom. There everyone was in dark blue with some white, gown.
He went to his seat only to be hugged from the front and behind. It was Sakura and Ino. They were both crying.
No, they were not crying from sadness or pain. They were crying from joy and happiness.
That's right. Today is their big day.
It was their graduation.
"Oh my god!!" Sakura and Ino both shouted. "We're finally graduating!"
Naruto had to smile at that. 'We're finally graduating…'
"Yeah… We're finally are, aren't we?"
The two girls' jaw dropped. "Show some happiness Naruto! We're graduating!"
"OH YOUTH! WE'RE FINALLY GRADUATING!" Lee exclaimed. Lee's eyes sparkled as tears started streaming out of his eyes. Tenten sighed. Everyone else in the room cringe at the loudness of his voice.
The rest of the group chatted together after Naruto put his gown now.
"Man, we're finally going to be separated now," Neji sighed.
"It's sad, b-but we'll still keep in contact right?" Hinata said with hints of sadness in her voice.
Naruto grinned as he put his hand in front of him. "Promise we'll still keep in contact with each other?"
All of them smile as they put their hands on top of Naruto.
"Promise"
Everyone got their diplomas. Everybody cheered and shouted as they threw their caps up in the air.
"OW!" But as gravity pulls the caps down, some of them hit people on their heads with the corners.
Lots of people were crying. Even Naruto had tears in his eyes. 'Good bye high school. And hello to college and adult life.'
Naruto went to find Sasuke. He looked all over the school and didn't see a single hair of him.
He went to ask Iruka-sensei. "Hey, Iruka-sensei, where's Sasuke?"
"Oh, you didn't know?" Naruto looked at him confused. "Sasuke is going to move today so he left after the ceremony."
Naruto look at his teacher in disbelief. "W-what…?" He flipped his phone and tried to dial, but there was no service.
He dashed to the roof and dialed Sasuke's number.
Ring Ring.
Beeeeeep
"The number you have called is not available or is turned off. Please call back later."
"Great." Naruto mumbled.
Naruto ran all the way to Sasuke's house and rang the door bell, only to be answered by Sasuke's brother, Itachi.
Itachi's eyes widen a bit before saying, "My, why are you here Naruto?"
"Where's Sasuke?!" Naruto tried to ask politely, but it sounded like it was a demand.
"Sorry, but you just missed him. He left already."
"Great, just great. When I finally have the guts to confess." Naruto muttered under his breath.
Naruto went back home and found Tsunade waiting for him.
She took out a folded up note and gave it to him. "Found it on the front door. Read it."
He took the note and walked to his room, locking it. "To Naruto" was on the top and inside the letter was:
Dear Naruto,
Um… Hi, this is Sasuke.
At this, Naruto's heart skipped a beat. He continued reading.
Naruto… I'm really sorry for what I said to you two weeks ago. I found out that my brother signed me up to a college in the USA without my permission. I didn't want to go, but Itachi forced me to. And I wrote this letter to tell you something. I love you Uzumaki Naruto. I really do. That time when I told you I didn't want to be your friend anymore. That was a lie. I didn't want you to be that sad went I leave, but I think saying that was worse. And I hope that somewhere in your heart will forgive me for what I've done to you. And if you love me back, then wait for me. I will come back. I promise. And if you don't wait for me and found someone else to love, then I wish you happiness forever. Well, good bye Naruto. Don't forget that I love you.
Sasuke
As he finished reading this letter, tears came down his face.
"Oh my god, Sasuke…"
He clasped his hand over his mouth as he continued crying.
Naruto stopped crying after a while. His sadness was replaced by happiness.
'Stupid Sasuke. Why didn't he just tell me?'
He looked down at the letter and smiled.
'I'll wait for you teme. I'll wait for you to come back. And I love you too, Uchiha Sasuke'
