Previously,
"What were you before this?" Smart kid
"What gave it away?"
"The scar and your routine. Artist are not routine. You are"
"Hmm...I was a commander/detective."
"Why did you stop?" He looked truly curious with the fire lighting his eyes.
"Got tired of it." I really did. "Glad I did. I've made some great friends since then." I smiled at him.
Sasuke looked he wanted to smile, but couldn't.
"You've been hurt." It was a statement not a question. Sasuke looked shocked and then his guard came up"But I won't ask...but you can tell me at any point you want." Swiftly I took his phone and before he could complain I handed back to him. His head cocked to the side. Silenly asking me a question.
"My number...so you can call whenever..." Sasuke nodded. "Well let gets some sleeps...its late and seeing as my room is probably freezing I'm going to sleep on the couch. You can slep on the other while I get a sheet."
When I came back from upstairs, Sasuke was on the couch in his previous sheet waiting on me. I smiled, laid a sheet on him, and slept on my side.
Now
Kakashi POV 2:14am
After being an officer for so long, you learn to become pretty alert.
And I was even though I had no reason to be.
I heard small whimpering, but I thought it was just the wind...can the wind even whimper?
Then there was another followed by a sob. It was heart wrenching all the same to hear. The sounds were painful, sad, slightly hystric even a little panic-y. I couldn't take it so I opened my eyes and sat up.
I was met with darkness.
After a few long seconds adjusting to the darkness and the heartbreaking sobs echoing throughout my apartment, I finally looked over at Sasuke.
The moon being my only source of light.
And just like at the park I was awestruck by his immense beauty. His features weren't sharp like his mind nor were they hard like the wall around his personality...his heart. They were soft, gentle, even childlike...with a touch femininity. Subtle , but most definitely there. The moon just made these features more clear...as if he should be lying in the snow outside...waiting to be found..claiming he was a fallen angels from up there.
His sheet was no longer on him and he was shivering.
I continued this train of thought until I heard his heart stopping cry. Thats when I saw his tear streaked cheeks, face scrunched in pain...unbearable pain. Pain that I so desperately wanted to erase from his very essence.
It was after this thought that I saw that I was out of my makeshift bed..across the freezing floor...above Sasuke...my hand placed precariously above his cheek.
What the hell!
I shouldn't do this...then there was that sob..and I couldn't stop. I placed my hand on his cold wet cheek.
"Sasuke...Sasuke...Sasuke wake up" his whimpering stopped, but he started sobbing
"Sasuke...Sasuke..." he was waking slowly. His moist eyes were staring me.
"Ka-ka-kashi..." He was sobbing and clinging to my shirt. I had long forgotten my scarf. I easily slid under him allowing him to cling. To hold me ...to be vulnerable while I protect him from the evil forces bent on breaking him. My hand pressed his head in to chest as my other encircled his petite waist. He continued to sob.
"I-I-I-I...I-I'm-m-m...s-s-s-oorry" Why was he apologizing to me?
"Shh Shh you have no reason to apologizes...just sleep" I cooed to him. Why was my lips so close to his silky locks?
"I-I-I...c-c-c-an't-t-t" You adorable thing. I'm here.
"Course you can...you're not an insomniac" he attempted to chuckle only to end up sobbing"I'm here. So, sleep...I'll be here when you wake"
"...P-P-Prom-m-m-mise-e...?" he stuttered like a small child.
Those dark onyx eyes were staring at me glittering in the moonlight. How could I not promise?
"I Promise" And just to make a point I entwined I fingers. This seemed to satisfy him. And there's was that pretty blush. I gonna make him blush more often.
So as I comforted him, he fell asleep. I stroked his cheek, cuddle him closer...even kissed the top of his head.
I wanted to say that this was not love...that I was just concerned...but I couldn't help, but I wonder if ...was it possible...that this was 2 years in the working. I would have gone further thought, but I was tired, comfortable, and warm with this little body next to me. I pulled the blanket back over us and fell asleep.
Sasuke POV
"Seimei! Seimei! NO! PLEASE STOP!" I can't move. Why can't I move? I want to move. I need to move.
I was in an alley. Dark, drity, scattered water puddle, mice and cats. The disgusting smell of waste. This was the alley in downtown Konoha. Near Broken Glass. The club.
The knife glittered in the red moon. He's gonna kill her. She's my friend. He can't...I won't let him!
"Seimei! Seimei! Seimei NO!" There was the gun. It seemed to be the only way to save her. "Seimei STOP!"
BAM! BAM! Clank!
I fired two shots. One to his forehead...and the other to his heart. I shot him...I killed him..but I had to... he was gonna kill her. I saved her. Right?
But there was too much blood from a bullet shot. Where is all this blood coming from? I looked at her. It..It...It was coming from her.
NO! NO! NO! NO! I SAVED HER! I PULLED THE GUNSHOT BEFORE HE SLASHED HER! RIGHT?
But when I turned her over and indeed she was where the blood coming from. Blood redder than her red hair.
I wanted to scream...vomit...call for help. Help...who could help?
I could nothing but cry...somewhere I heard "Sasuke...Sasuke"
Dream over
Adjusting to the darkness, I saw him. His head hovering over mine, in this light he seemed even more handsome "Ka-Ka-Kashi"
Then the dream came back to me. Full blast...it was like a bucket of ice cold water was thrown on me.
It was night and I couldn't hold the tear...particularly at night.
So, I clung to him raw and vulnerable...waiting for him to reject me. I couldn't help, but apologize. For what? For being a burden, disturbing his routine, waking him up, not being strong enough...to stop the tears...the pain...the death of my precious friends.
He slid under me.
"I-I-I-I...I-I'm-m-m...s-s-s-oorry" Why did it have to sound so pathetic
"Shh Shh you have no reason to apologizes...just sleep" he whispered. Was his lips on my hair?
"I-I-I...c-c-c-an't-t-t" Stop sounding vulnerable
"Course you can...you're not an insomniac" my attempted chuckle ended as a sob"I'm here. So, sleep...I'll be here when wake" Does..Does...Does he mean that?
"...P-P-Prom-m-m-mise-e...?" He'd always been there on the bench...
"I Promise" maybe he could be here now...maybe I could let him near...this once...
He entwined our fingers and I felt heat rush to my face...its dark though...he won't see it right?
I felt so warm, protected, guarded from all the drama, disappointment, and heart ache of the world. I was in this strangers arms...no..no I was in Kakashi's arms...
Will you let me stay? I thought as I fell into unconsciousness. Much calmer than I was before.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Soooo much more descriptive than I normally do...seimei is the guy from loveless...I may do next chapter now instead of waiting until tomorrow...do you think I should.
