Sasuke sighed as he looked at his photo of team seven. More specifically, someone. That someone was his boyfriend, Naruto Uzumaki.
Well, ex-boyfriend he supposed. They had left on a sour note and he doubted would try to go after him again. But he secretly hoped that he would. Seeing Naruto reminded him of the happy times when he and Naruto would go on dates together.
He had been elated when Naruto had agreed to go out with him. Yes, he had made the first, blunt move. If Sasuke had waited for Naruto to begin the relationship, they would've been well into their thirties before Naruto realized their more than platonic bond.
Sasuke had first started liking Naruto when he was very young. He couldn't explain it, but something about the blond drew him in like a moth to flame. HIs brash personality was endearing to Sasuke, which he'd never admit because Uchiha's never find anything endearing.
He couldn't begin to wonder why people had hated Naruto. Well, yes he did know why, but he failed to see why people hated Naruto for being the nine-tails jinchuuriki. When Sasuke looked at Naruto, he only saw Naruto. His amazing boyfriend.
Sasuke laughed. He was starting to sound like a lost lover. Desperately awaiting the day he got to see his significant other again. But it's not that far off.
As much as Sasuke wants to see Naruto again, he's afraid that he'll damage him. Sasuke was full of darkness, Naruto his only light. But Naruto had so much more light that Sasuke would drown out if he got too close. It is for the best if they don't associate with each other anymore, no matter how much it rips Sasuke apart. It is so difficult to stay away from the one thing brings you happiness and joy.
Why would Naruto want to see him again? How could Naruto ever forgive him? Sasuke had done so much, hurt him so much. Sasuke had seen the pained expression on Naruto's face when he had come to Orochimaru's hideout. He had seen the tears he had cried. He knew he shouldn't have gotten so close, but Sasuke couldn't help it. He had wanted to kiss Naruto right then and there, but held back.
Sasuke didn't believe he deserved someone like Naruto. Naruto was light, and he was dark. Naruto was so selfless and kind. Sasuke had betrayed his village because of his desire for vengeance. Being with Sasuke would only hurt Naruto. He couldn't do that to him, couldn't be the reason the blond was in pain. But even when Sasuke is away from Naruto, he's hurting him. He knows the pain of being away is more than that of being near.
Picking up another picture, Sasuke smiled. It was of his and Naruto's first real kiss. He had been so worried that he was doing it wrong, but it turned out to be great. Naruto's blush covered his entire face, which Sasuke found cute (tell anyone and he'll gut you).
Still staring at the photo, Sasuke vowed that he would see Naruto again. He would go back, and if Naruto accepted him, and make him his again. That is, after he sorted out this Itachi mess.
He sat down both of the pictures and laid down. Smile still on his face, he fell asleep to dreams that spoke of a far away future with his blond husband.
I know it's short, but I find it harder to write in Sasuke's point of view. I am thinking about doing another one where Sasuke and Naruto get back together and get married. tell me if you think I should!
