The Boy

Weekends.

Kids like Sasuke were really looking forward to this—no school, no training, it's going to be all fun and games for them. Most of them already had plans: sleeping late, eating out, playing—oh yeah—and slacking off. But little Sasuke had his own plans: an appointment with the mysterious boy at an almost deserted place in the village.

How does he look up close?

He's excited to see him. He had already mentally listed out all the questions about the boy in his head, hoping for an answer for each and every one.

Who are his parents, anyway? Where does he live? Does he have an older brother like me? Will the two get along?

Friends.

Kind to think of it, Sasuke wasn't really a friendly type. Not when the kids at the academy treat him differently. The girls worship him like a god. And the boys obviously don't like him at all—being perfect and stuff. Oh why don't they just see that nobody's perfect in this world?

But this time, it just feels right.

Sasuke darted out of the Uchiha manor. He promised his mother that he would be back for supper. Seeing that he's a good boy, as always, she waved back and let out a "Take care!" before he was out of sight.

He'll be up there.

He passed the academy and climbed up the steep hill. Despite that it was overgrown with plants and weeds, that path going up was still visible.

He wasn't out of breath nor tired. His stamina was strong. He was determined. Just a few more steps and he'll be—

"I give up! No one can see me!"

For the first time, Sasuke heard his voice, the voice of the blonde boy. He moved forward, making a rustling sound with the grass he stepped on.

The boy turned around, startled. No mistake, his hair is like the color of the bright sun and his eyes were cool as water, but with a deep depth of loneliness. He had three scars parallel with each other on each cheek. But Sasuke couldn't remember this face in the village. Maybe he's new here.

"I…I can see you," Sasuke said.

The minute he said that, those bright eyes widened and the boy's mouth curved upward at each end. "You serious? You can actually see me?"

Sasuke nodded yet distracted by his thoughts. Does this mean that no one can really see this boy but him? This can't be. What about his family? His friends?

And that very moment, Sasuke remembered his brother's words.

There is really more than what meets the eye.
