AN: I never planned on writing a second part to this, but it was mentioned a few times that I should. So here's another part, and this "story" will remain under "complete" since I am not sure if I will add any more to it, and if I do, it's just because I am bored and needed something to work on. This part of Words also is not on deviantart, nor do I think it will be put there, so there is finally something here that is not there.
I would also like to know which "words" were favored through this one, so leave your favorites in a review if you decide to review. ^_^
Warnings: Same as last time.

I do not own the Naruto characters.
#51 Organized:
Before getting together with Naruto, and after being accepted back into Konoha, Sasuke could proudly say that his life was perfectly organized. He would get up at the same time every morning, and then he would head off to take care of his duties. Unfortunately for the structured Uchiha, a certain blonde came into his life. Naruto threw all of his composition out of the window, and you know what? Sasuke didn't mind at all.
#52 Torture:
They were caught on a mission. Sasuke mentally cursed himself about the mistake, and he was sure Naruto was doing the same…wherever he was. Their enemy was smart enough to keep them separated, but that did nothing for the Uchiha's mood. However, his wondering didn't last long when he heard a yell.
"I won't tell you!"
Sasuke froze at the exclamation. They were in the next room, and apparently they were interrogating Naruto; though, Sasuke didn't realize his fear for the situation until he heard chains rattling and the sizzle of hot iron coming in contact with flesh. He didn't want to listen to his lover being tortured; even if Naruto was strong…it still hurt to know that it could have been prevented.
Then the sound of a whip crack made him cringe, but it was the strangled yell that made Sasuke's eyes bleed red. Naruto could take pain rather well, he knew that from experience, but the Uchiha could only assume that the burnt flesh was what had been whipped. They would pay, and they would have the pain and suffering paid back to them, for both his mental torture of hearing Naruto in pain, and for the physical torture they were putting Naruto through. They would wish for death in the end.
#53 Nuzzle:
Naruto knew that, although Sasuke would often reprimand him for his actions, even in the privacy of their own home, that the Uchiha secretly liked the attention. So when the blonde would nuzzle Sasuke's shoulder just as he was about to fall asleep and Sasuke would grumble at him to stop, Naruto just gave a slight shake of his head and continued until he finally drifted to sleep.
#54 Pyromaniac:
Watching as Sasuke stared at their campfire, Naruto came to realize something. Sasuke was always using fire or watching fire on their missions, and often when they were at home…which was probably why he insisted that they have a fireplace in their home.
"Why don't you come out of the closet already?" Naruto asked.
"Huh? Naruto what the hell are you talking about?"
"You like fire, right?"
The look that Sasuke shot him was enough of an answer for Naruto.
"Well, you're a secret pyromaniac, aren't you?"
"Idiot."
#55 Someday:
They both knew that they couldn't live forever, and that someday, one of them was likely to be left behind when death took the other. They knew it and accepted it; however, until that someday came, they would spend as much time together as they could.
#56 Acceptance:
While the couple knew that their love was not looked highly upon by all people, as time went by there were fewer and fewer glares. Their friends had immediately supported them, albeit slightly reluctantly because Naruto was with a former traitor, but it was still nice to finally have moments where some of the villagers, who previously were ignorant about love and all its forms, ask them how the other was doing when only one was around. They finally gained some acceptance, and things only looked up from there.
#57 Shoo:
Naruto was trying to take a shower, note the key word: trying. However, it seemed that Sasuke had another plan in mind. Now, normally Naruto would agree with said plan, but he had a meeting with Tsunade that he had to leave for soon, and she already told him that being late because the Uchiha was "a little happy in his pants" not an excuse to be late.
"No, Sasuke, get out of here." The blonde grumbled while pushing Sasuke through the bathroom door. "We'll do it later, now shoo."
#58 Glasses:
Sasuke had known that his eyesight was deteriorating over the years, but that didn't mean that he had to like it. His eyes eventually got to the point where he needed reading glasses to be able to clearly see what was on the scrolls he read. Now, one would say to just suck it up and deal with it, especially since reading glasses were not necessary for other everyday activities, but the Uchiha was still annoyed that he needed them. However, he would momentarily forget that annoyance when Naruto would just sit there and watch him read with his glasses on. Eventually during these staring sessions, Naruto would comment about how good-looking Sasuke was with them on. This and this alone, was why the Uchiha hadn't broken his glasses a long time ago.
#59 Breathless:
He always swore that he would have complete control over his actions and emotions; however, that was before he realized that Naruto would be able to destroy that control. Of all the things Sasuke refused to ever admit, it was that there was something that could leave him breathless. It was rare, especially since Naruto woke up long before him the majority of the time, but on the occasions that Sasuke would be the first to wake up, watching Naruto open his bright blue eyes for the first time for the day would always leave Sasuke breathless.
#60 Canine:
Sasuke couldn't help but to compare his blonde lover to a dog of some sort. It wasn't demeaning or anything, but the Uchiha noticed that, like a dog, Naruto was always waiting for him to come home from a mission, always happy to see him, and when he would screw up, Naruto was never able to hold a grudge. So when asked if he liked cats or dogs more, Sasuke would answer that, of the two, he liked dogs better.
#61 Feline:
While Sasuke thought Naruto was like a dog, the blonde believed his lover to be like a cat. Cats were independent, only loved a select few…if even that many, and they always seemed to have this glare when someone did something to upset their way of things. If that didn't explain Sasuke, Naruto wasn't sure what did, so when he was asked if he liked cats or dogs better, Naruto would simply grin and point toward Sasuke, leaving the one who asked to figure it out.
#62 Distractions:
There were some missions that Tsunade refused to send the couple on. She was smart enough to know that they were each other's weakness, and therefore would be a distraction in some way or another. If the mission was simple, then it was because of sexual urges that the mission would take longer than expected to complete, but if the mission was high ranking, then it was the danger that distracted the pair. Despite this, she also knew that sometimes, on dangerous missions, that it was necessary to send them both. Not only were they two of the best, but sometimes, their worry for the other would drive them to perform their duties even better to keep trouble from the other. This was her logic in saying that distractions were good…whenever Shizune would reprimand her for drinking sake during work.
#63 School:
Why were Sasuke and Naruto at the academy when they had been out of school for quite a number of years now? If caught, Naruto would blame Sasuke and his perverted idea of having sex in a classroom; whereas, Sasuke would blame Naruto for saying that the Uchiha looked like a teacher with his reading glasses on…thus giving said Uchiha a rather kinky idea….
#64 Expectation:
When the village became aware of Naruto's lineage, they all began to have all these expectations of him, and Naruto, who was not used to being pushed to do this or that simply because a parent was able to, tried to please everyone but felt that he kept coming up short. Quickly becoming depressed about the whole thing, it wasn't until Sasuke finally talked some sense into the blonde.
"The only expectations you should listen to and try to meet are your own. Not the council's, not the villagers', not even mine, but only your own."
Naruto took Sasuke's words to heart and realized that there was a lot less stress when he only focused on what he wanted to accomplish, not what others wanted him to accomplish.
#65 Legacy:
Both Sasuke and Naruto had relatives that left them behind as their legacy. Unfortunately for the village, those legacies would die out with the pair. As men, they were unable to have children of their own, but they didn't mind. Sasuke didn't want the weight of the Uchiha clan's past to be on the shoulders of any child, like it was for him, and Naruto didn't want a child to be compared with him, whether it was because of the demon sealed within him, or because of his strength as a ninja. No, they were both content with the end of their lines coming with their deaths.
#66 Mirrors:
Naruto had learned, rather early on in their relationship, that Sasuke had quite the imagination when it came to sex. However, staring at the reflective glass now placed strategically throughout the room, the blonde had to wonder where Sasuke got such an imagination. From what he remembered, the Uchiha family was structured, plain, and well…boring. Unfortunately, Naruto didn't have time to ponder since Sasuke was already attacking the barriers that blocked his nakedness, which he liked to call clothes…but afterward they were more like rags. Without realizing it, Naruto was dragged over to the bed, and it was only after he was pushed onto it, did he notice something else.
"Is that a mirror…on our ceiling?"
#67 Blankets:
When Sasuke woke up and realized that it was unusually cold in the house, he knew what he would find when he wandered out of the bedroom. With a sigh, the Uchiha quickly dressed and left the room, only to find a mountain of blankets surrounding Naruto while he sat on the couch. It was rather cute how Naruto had such a low tolerance for random cold spells, and would bundle himself up in practically every free blanket in the house that he could find. The blonde could deal with the heat just fine, it was the cold that seemed to get to him, which would explain the ridiculous jumpsuit he wore when he was younger.
"Naruto."
The mass of blankets shifted slightly before a pair of blue eyes met Sasuke's black ones.
"Come out of there."
"It's cold."
Sighing, Sasuke just shook his head. He should have known the reply, but it was still worth a try.
"Fine, then let me in."
This seemed to take a bit of thought before Naruto finally agreed to allow the Uchiha into the massive mess of blankets. However, Sasuke realized that the tangled mess was hard to undo in order to get to the blonde at the center. Eventually he managed to get through the blankets and huddled up against Naruto while rewrapping the blankets around the both of them.
"Sasuke."
"Yes?"
"You're cold, too."
Sasuke didn't say anything back but simply tightened the blankets around them.
#68 Festivals:
Neither Naruto nor Sasuke would go to any festival the village held. When he was younger, Naruto was never welcomed at such gatherings, and didn't even know what they were for until he was much older, so he never had a desire to go to them. As for Sasuke, he avoided them like the plague when he was younger because he had training he could be working on and he was also trying to avoid his fangirls. So now that they are older, they still have no desire to go to the festivals. Sure, their reasons changed, especially since Naruto was now asked if he would show up, and Sasuke was no longer as obsessed with training, and his fangirls gave up, but they were happy enough to just spend the day together without any interruptions.
#69 Nightmare:
There were times when Naruto would wake up to a shaking Sasuke beside him. It was obvious that the Uchiha had a nightmare, but never having much experience with being consoled for his own nightmares as a child, Naruto went simply by instinct. He would wrap his arms around Sasuke, just holding him until he finally calmed down. On more than one occasion the blonde would ask Sasuke what happened in the nightmare, but the Uchiha would always shake his head and refuse to answer. He always wondered what was able to cause Sasuke such fear, but Naruto continuously let the issue slide. Even if Sasuke would never tell him what the cause of his nightmare was, Naruto vowed to be there, whenever he could, to hold him until the fear went away.
#70 Rumpled:
When someone, in the middle of the day, would go to see Naruto or Sasuke at their home, and one would answer the door with their clothes rumpled and hair messed up, it didn't take a genius to realize that the couple had just been in the middle of something. Fearing the wrath of Sasuke, the visitor would quickly mention that they would come back later, leaving the couple to continue with their activities.
#71 Gone:
Naruto always wondered something, and so, when in the moment it was least expected, or wanted, Naruto asked his question in the afterglow of sex.
"What would you…do if I was gone?"
"Is this…really the time…Naruto?"
"I'm just c-curious."
Hearing a sigh from Sasuke, the blonde didn't think he would get his answer, but once their gazes locked, Naruto waited.
"I…don't know."
"What do you mean…you don't know?"
"I don't think about it; I don't want to think about it, so I…don't know," Sasuke told him. "Now stop asking ridiculous questions and go to sleep."
"Sasuke…."
"Hn?"
"I don't know…what I would do either."
#72 Vocal:
Sasuke never realized just how vocal the blonde was until after a mission that went wrong; a mission that the Uchiha was not a part of. Although he was told that Naruto would be fine, that the young man was healing quite well, Sasuke could not be convinced that Naruto would be okay until the blonde woke up spoke again. He swore that if Naruto never said a word ever again, he would find his lover's teammates and make sure they had their vocal cords ripped from their bodies.
"Sa-Sasuke?"
Hearing his named called, Sasuke immediately snapped his gaze over to Naruto. So…the blonde really would be fine. Good…because he didn't want to have to hunt down people and make them pay. It would just waste his time and chakra.
#73 Delicate:
In a world where fighting and death were commonplace, being delicate was a curse. Thankfully, both boys managed to keep their bodies from falling into that trap; however, it was their minds that were lacking the strength that they needed to be able to continue from day to day. They both knew that the other suffered mentally, and so, through using what strengths they did have, they were able to protect each other's delicate minds from anything that would completely destroy them.
#74 Control:
The day that Naruto lost control of the kyuubi was a day that Sasuke didn't want to remember. He hated that he was told that if Naruto could not be subdued, then he was to kill the blonde. Sasuke didn't want to be faced with that choice, so he did what he could, which resulted in several ribs being broken, along with torn muscles and other injuries. In the end he was able to get through to Naruto, leaving him with a feeling of relief. Naruto would not be killed, but now he had to find a way to prevent it from ever happening again. Sasuke would not forgive himself if he was away on a mission and this happened again and Naruto was killed because of it. He would find a way to prevent the demon from causing Naruto anymore suffering.
#75 Dust:
For a house that Naruto lived in, some would say it looked ridiculously clean, despite the articles of clothing scattered around from time to time, and even if Sasuke lived there as well. There is a simple answer for that, Naruto was allergic to dust. A rather amusing allergy for a young man who seemed ready to take on the world, but one must have their weaknesses, and so, whenever Naruto would suddenly sneeze in the house, Sasuke knew it was time for them to dust the place once again. The Uchiha wasn't complaining because beside the fact that Naruto sneezing was amusing, it also meant that the house would never be allowed to be a complete mess, and although Naruto threw out most of his structured life, at least there was one thing that would be in order.
