Chapter One

NaruSasu

Fallen Embers

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

In the tall grass, the only one lonely enough to come out at night, alone, sighed and looked at all the falling stars in the large field. He hated everything right now, his heart full of sorrow and regret. No one could make him feel better, to heal the wonds that lie forever on his fair skin; he was never going to understand this village, and visa versa. Sasuke was the young boy; the only one left of his clan; the one so different, even he himself couldn't untangle his prosiac disposition. That was a hard thing to bear, the last of something. It was so lonely. He was always thinking of suicide after his goals are overcome and brought off of his thin shoulders.

He shead a tear; he'd grieved enough. Everynow and then, he'd forget about his goals and think long and hard about suicide. Many times he attempted, but never did succeed. He held the kunai away and would always break down. There was only one person that could ever make him smile, inside or out: Uzumaki Naruto. He had a bond with the boy and he liked him more than what that bond suggested. Alot more. He would always think of him on nights like this: full moon and tons of stars. He felt like his heart was soaring free during this time; this very short time.

He whispers with the wind, "Once, all dreams were worth keeping, I was with you..." His mother would always sing him a song called, "Falling Embers". Sasuke never knew what it ment, but he knew it was a beautiful song. He would always think of the song when he and Naruto were together. It was a sad love song, is what it was. He loved it anyway, however. He wanted nothing more than to stay there, just like that; under the stars, just a small blanket over his thin figure, thinking how small he was. Just then, he heard a noise by him. It frightens him deeply, but as he looks up, he sees Naruto, smiling. "What are you doing out here?" He asked. Sasuke glared up at him. "Why do you want to know?" he asked, bitterly.

Naruto laid down by him and tried to tickle the serious raven. Sasuke just smacked him. "Leave, Dobe!" he said, half-heartedly. One half wanted alone time, the other wanted to be held and loved. Sasuke couldn't tell which one was telling him what he really felt. Naruto looked rather sad after the order. "Oh. 'Kay. See ya monday then..." Naruto had gotten up and started to leave. Once he was about twenty feet away, Sasuke's heart couldn't take it and he got up and hugged him from behind, crying into his back. "I'm sorry! Please...please don't go..." Naruto stood there, feeling the other's hot tears on his neck. Naruto turned and picked Sasuke up bridal style; they sat under the blanket together.

"Why are you crying, Sasuke?" Naruto asked, holding the Uchiha closer. Sasuke sniffed and said, "I want to confide in you...I want to die...I want to live...I want you to love me...I need help..." Naruto sighed and kissed Sasuke's next tear away. It suprised them both, but it was too late to take back now. Sasuke cried into Naruto's shoulder and told him everything. "That's a big weight you carry, Sasuke. I'm sorry." Sasuke shook his head. "Don't be..." Naruto put a finger underneath Sasuke's delicate chin and kissed his lips, gently. Sasuke pushed back and wrapped his arms around Naruto's neck; Naruto put his around Sasuke's waist. The blond decided to make this the best night of Sasuke's life: getting the love he deserved.

He slid his tongue into Sasuke's mouth and they kissed deeper and longer than they ever hoped. Sasuke still had tears running down his cheeks. But this time, they were of happiness. Naruto laid on Sasuke, bringing the cold on his unprotected skin, sending shivers of cold and plessure on his spine. Naruto Broke apart and kissed Sasuke's neck. "Tell me...if you don't...want to...have sex tonight, okay?" Naruto asked, between quick kisses on the collar bone. Sasuke said, "I want this. Go as fast and as hard as you can. Don't stop, even if our lives deepened on it. I want this to last...for as long as possible..." Naruto nodded.

Their lives had changed, that night, as Sasuke proclaimed to Naruto, the Heavens, and to whom ever was listening that he loved Naruto and never would leave. Of course, that was a lie. Two days later, Naruto had been informed he left. Naruto chased after Sasuke, only to find that the uke he loved and cherished was already the cold-hearted being he acted like. Naruto never wanted to hurt his precious love, but he felt that he had no choice, and in a way he truely didn't. Sasuke never really did fight. He didn't want to hurt the one he trusted.

Three years later, they met again and Sasuke agrees to come home this time. When they retire early at night, Sasuke is glad that suicide wasn't an option now... He sang that song to Naruto and the blond smiled everytime he'd sing. It was truely lovely. Sasuke laid his head on Naruto's chest and said, suddenly, "I'm sorry, Naruto..."

"For what?"
"Hurting you like that, years ago..."

Naruto kissed Sasuke's head and smiled. "Forget it, babe...It's beneath me now...I love you more than yesterday, and life will go on. I'm just glad you were safe after all these years..."

Sasuke kissed Naruto's lips and smiled. "I love you, so much, Seme..." Naruto smiled back. "I know...I love you, Sasuke." Naruto sealed that promise with a kiss.

Fallen Embers - Enya

Once as my heart remembers

all the stars were fallen embers

Once when night seemed forever

I was with you

Once in the care of morning

in the air was all beloning

Once when the day was dawning

I was with you

How far we are from morning

How far we are

and the stars shinning through the darkness

Falling in the air

Once as the night was leaving

into us our dreams were weaving

Once all dreams were worth keeping

I was with you

Once when our hearts were singing

I was with you

Yaoi-Chan-I hope you liked this one. I was rather emo so I apologize! I still hope it was enjoyed!
