Chapter two

In Pieces

"Why did you leave me Sasuke? If you loved me?"

Those words hurt him more than anything else could have. He looked at him, blue eyes met onyx eyes; Do he really hate me?

Telling me to go,
But hands beg me to stay.
Your lips say that you love,
Your eyes say that you hate.

"I was stupid. I was blinded by my hate for my brother…" The blond didn't say anything just stood there, with his back against the wall. "Please, Naruto say something." The blond stopped staring in the other boy's eyes, just to gaze out the window.

There's truth in your lies,
Doubt in your faith.
What you build you lay to waste.
There's truth in your lies,
Doubt in your faith.
All I've got is what you didn't take.

"Naruto?" Sasuke tried once again to approach Naruto, but stopped when Naruto spoke.

"You know I loved you, ne?" The blond didn't even look at the other boy when he spoke. "But what you did…"

"I know what I did, but-"

"Do you?" This time he looked at the raven, no longer crying.

So I, I won't be the one,
Be the one to leave this,
In pieces.
And you, you will be alone,
Alone with all your secrets,
And regrets.
Don't lie.

Sasuke looked at the blond again, what did he mean by that?

"I knew you were a bastard, but I still loved you." Why is he using past tense? "I knew very well that I would have to wait for you to avenge your brother. But for you to leave…and then tell me what we had was nothing, more or less. Telling me that whatever I felt for you was unnecessary, that to have me follow you was meaningless. That I was nothing to you."

You promised me the sky,
Then tossed me like a stone.
You wrap me in your arms,
And chill me to the bone.

Sasuke couldn't bear hearing this; this was not how it was suppose to be when I returned. As if reading Sasukes mind Naruto continued. "You really thought I would just open my arms and welcome you home? Kiss you and say 'I love you'. And you called me naïve."

There's truth in your lies,
Doubt in your faith.
All I've got is what you didn't take.

"Many things happened after you left, even more things happened during my time searching for you." This time it was Sasuke who looked confused. "Did you know that every time I got close and then pushed away, again, pieces of me died? Did you know how useless I felt most of the time? How-"

So I, I won't be the one,
Be the one to leave this,
In pieces.
And you, you will be alone,
Alone with all your secrets,
And regrets.
Don't lie.

"Please Naruto…stop this."

"Stop what, Sasuke? Whatever I am doing right now is nothing compared to what you did."

So I, I won't be the one,
Be the one to leave this,
In pieces.
And you, you will be alone,
Alone with all your secrets,
And regrets.
Don't lie.
