My Love, My Pain, My Sasuke
Chapter 3
What lies in the dark?
Naruto was curled up on his old couch hugging a orange pillow. He was staring blankly at nothing in particular for who knows how long, after just having gotten back from one of his silent walks.
knock knock knock
Naruto slowly turned his head to stare at the old wooden door, and he stared blankly at it for a while until he finally got up, dragged himself to the door and opened the it just a bit, causing it to squeak loudly, to reveal who was standing on the other side.
"Hey Naruto"
Naruto finally paid attention to a person, to a face for the first time in about a week, if not more. He was now staring into the pale beautiful and perfect face, of the one he so admired, his precious Sasuke.
Naruto just stared at Sasuke but as his eyes were widening Sasuke spoke after clearly feeling uncomfortable about the silent staring.
"I'm letting myself in then, since your so happy and cheerful to see me again" he smirked a little as he said this with extra sarcasm than was normal for an Uchiha, but slowly let it pass as he noticed Naruto was still acting like he'd just woken up for the first time in weeks.
As Sasuke walked in he was surprised to see it was surprisingly neat and organized, considering Naruto's usual self. The only sign of dirtiness that was to be found was a thin layer of dust. He slowly made his way to the old couch and sat down, waiting for Naruto t follow and do the same.
"Sakura told me to come and thank you in person for the get-well card. I didnt get to read it, I had a huge pile of them from those dumb obsesed girls and i just threw the pile away. But Sakura told me she was possitive there was one from you." Sasuke let out a breath he had held in, due to the awkwardness, as he said this, tilting his head upwards to stare at the ceiling.
Naruto slowly walked to the living room and plumped himself on a sofa across from Sasuke's. Sasuke noted how slowly Naruto's face showed some emotion, but he looked puzzled.
'I never sent you a card…?' Naruto wondered how that could've happened
"You okay naruto?" Sasuke was amused by the expression on Naruto's face, which now resembled a mix between a confused frown and a blush.
'I bet it was Sakura… gotta thank her later but…' Naruto blushed a bit deeper as he wondered his question. 'How much does Sakura know…?'
"You're being awfully quiet…" Naruto shook his head and spoke for once, the possibly positive atmosphere of his freind rubbing off on him. "Oh umm yeah sorry I'm just lost in thought..." Sasuke smirked, laughing inwardly at the thought of Naruto even being able to think. "Anyways; I didn't just come here to thank you for the card. Id like to talk to you about something…" Naruto noticed how Sasuke seemed to very serious, how he'd dropped his smirk and replaced it with a face that had guilt and severity written all over it…
Naruto had a strange feeling about what was going to happen…
"Lets take a walk, well talk about it while we walk"
Naruto hesitated for a second but eventually spoke
"Okay Sasuke"
Silently, as the sunset shone behind him, a ninja watched Naruto and Sasuke from a tree through the window in Naruto's home. He silently watched as if closely studying their every movement.
As he noticed Naruto stood up and began heading towards the door, he clicked the switch on his communicator, straped around his ear and neck.
"Yes, Shizune, I've confirmed they are moving, I will continue to follow and record their movements, have that squad ready just in case"
As he finished saying this, the ninja crouched on the branch of the tree, ready to move if necessary…
"…Naruto…Sasuke…" The ninja whispered airily, as the seemingly dark yet flowing winds of the day seemed to take those words into the distance, hushing them to nothing but a silent whisper.
Coming up on Chapter 4:Sasuke and Naruto need to talk. Naruto knew it was bound to be nececary, but hed hoped it would be later rather than sooner. And shady figures follow the duo... just what does this all mean for Naruto and Sasuke? All that and more, coming up in Chapter 4!
