A/N. Hello, nonexistent fans! *weeps openly*

What we have here is the final chapter of this story. But here's the thing. I want YOU guys to tell me if you think this is actually part of the story! There's a reason there's a question mark in the name of the chapter. Did this really happen? Why? Please give me your thoughts. I have my own person head-canon of this chapter's place in the story (being that I wrote it, after all), but I want to hear your thoughts.

Read, review, ignore, favorite, kill, whatever! But enjoy!

Epilogue?

I was brought back into the waking world before I opened my eyes. I remained still for a while to savor the last lingering strands of sleep I had left. Finally facing the inevitable, I lifted my arms over my head and turned onto my back to find a cold and empty bed. The bliss of the previous night only lasted a few short moments, until I fully came back into consciousness, and realized the situation.

"Sasuke?"

I didn't quite know what was going on. I threw the blankets off of me to find I was not naked, but in my boxer shorts. Which wasn't an anomaly since that was how I slept. My lower back did hurt, however. I don't usually sleep on my side, though. Everything was so confusing to me. Especially this early in the morning. There wasn't much of a trace of the events that took place last night. But I knew it happened. My mind couldn't simply make up that kind of pure ecstasy.

"Naruto! Wake up, you lazy bum!" came a shrill voice from outside my door. Sakura. I had no intention of dealing with her, so I ignored her. I needed to figure this out. I sat on the edge of my bed, running my hands through my hair. I couldn't think straight with that annoying girl breaking my door down.

"What?! I'm up, now go away!" I yelled at her. I heard a muffled "Hmph!" from the hallway and assumed she'd gotten her way and left like I'd hoped.

My train of thought was going nowhere. I needed to go to the source. And since he wasn't here, he must be in his own room. I hastily dressed and patted my down my hair before leaving my dorm for Sasuke's, across the hall. I knew it was early but I needed answers. I pounded on his door, yelling his name. Several slow seconds later the boy came to the door, with a fatigued and irritated expression on his beautiful face.

His garb was the same as it was last night. And I doubt I would dream about him having the exact button-down shirt and jeans as now. He sleeps in his clothes, so this had to match up. Otherwise… I couldn't fathom the alternative.

"What, Naruto?" he snapped. I tried to blame his tone on the fact that I probably woke him.

"Well… um… I was wondering if you'd finally thought about what I told you… You know, last week?" I stuttered, blushing hard.

"What's there to think about?" This took me back. He was being so harsh.

"Well… a lot, maybe. Could… could it ever happen?" I found it impossible to meet his icy gaze, but I found something in his expression that was implacable. Yet he didn't hesitate to respond.

"No." My heart shattered instantly, beyond repair. There was nothing left in me. As he made to close the door in my face, he added, "It'll never happen."

A/N. Sniff... So sad...

Tell me your thoughts, please. And have a wonderful yaoi-filled day. Love you guys!
