lyrics
Miss You
He walked down the dirt path towards the training grounds, a gentle breeze blew his shoulder length blond hair around his face, causing him to stop and close his eyes.
Standing there, he allowed himself to be lulled by the wind, as it sang to him, calming him.
I step off the train,
I'm walking down your street again,
and past your door,
but you don't live there anymore
Opening his eyes, he continued his walk to the training grounds, passing by a large victorian style mansion. The sun slowly coming up, bringing shadows that swallowed up the mansion, making it lonlier than it already was.
It's years since you've been there.
Now you've disappeared somewhere
like outer space,
you've found some better place,
Naruto stopped again and sighed, the breeze carrying it away as he stared at the mansion. Wishing that he could just go up to the door and knock...the lights would turn on one by one...and he'd still be there.
Chuckling softly and shaking his head, he continued his daily trip to the training grounds.
and I miss you -
like the deserts miss the rain.
The clouds were dark, and the low rumble of thunder followed. Naruto wasn't worried, rain hadn't been there for weeks, it was dry and humid.
He stared at the sky, his chest heaving.
"Tired already dobe?" A voice teased him from behind.
Glaring Naruto turned towards the voice, "You wish Sasuke-teme, I was just waiting for you to catch you're breath again."
Raising an eyebrow Sasuke stared at Naruto, "Oh really? Then why are you panting? eh dobe?"
"Stop calling me that bastard!"
Sasuke chuckled and walked towards Naruto, "You're the one who started it."
"You're the one who called me-"
Sasuke interrupted him as he pressed a quick kiss to the blond's lips, "Yeah yeah, whatever."
"Bastard."
Sasuke just sent him a small smile and ruffled Naruto's sunny hair, "Alright dobe, let's go."
"Where are we going?"
Grabbing his hand, Sasuke just shook his head and started pulling Naruto towards his house, "To get lunch, or dinner...whichever."
"Ramen?"
Rolling his onyx eyes, Sasuke pulled harder, "Maybe."
A smile broke out on Naruto's face as he started running, pulling Sasuke behind him, "Alright! Let's go teme, you're too slow!"
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead
of everyone.
We'd walk behind while you would run
Standing in the center of the training grounds, he looked around, memories of all their spars and training whirled around him.
He remembered when Sasuke told him about how he would train day and night so he could get out of the academy and become a genin.
Sasuke and Naruto lie on the ground under the shade of a tree, Naruto's head resting on Sasuke's chest.
Feeling Sasuke's chest rise and fall rapidly, Naruto looked up at him, "What's got you so moody?"
Sighing again, Sasuke held up his bandaged arm, "I was just thinking about the days when we were in the academy, how things seemed so much easier than they are now."
Naruto sat up and looked down at Sasuke, "You've came all this way Sasuke, and the Chunin exams are in two weeks...don't tell me you want to go back now?"
"It's the same as it was when I was in the academy, train, eat, sleep, got to class, train, eat, sleep, go to class."
Placing his hand on Sasuke's bandaged arm, he cracked a smile, "Well, instead of the 'go to class part' it's train, eat, sleep, spend time with Naruto, train, eat, sleep, spend time with Naruto."
Sasuke sat up and pulled Naruto back against his chest, "You know what the funny thing is?"
"That we're havin' this conversation?"
Sasuke let out a small laugh, "No, when we were in the academy, I never really expected to be right here right now. I mean, everyday I trained with the drive to kill Itachi, avenge my clan...I remember this one time when I was ten I passed out under this very tree."
Naruto looked up at him questionally, "You passed out?"
"Yeah, I trained till I dropped, I wanted to get out of there early, but now that I think back, I'm kinda glad that I didn't."
"Yeah, me too."
Smiling abit sadly, as he thinks that all of the training could have went to waste, that Sasuke may be dead, that he may never see him again.
Turning towards the entrance to the training grounds, he begins his trek home.
I look up at your house
and I can almost hear you shout
down to me
where I always used to be,
Naruto ran down the street, he could hear the thug's yells behind him.
"Hey! Dobe! Naruto! Over here!"
Naruto looked up, he was passing the Uchiha mansion, and there was Sasuke, his upper body hanging out of the second floor window.
"Naruto, come on!"
Looking back, he noticed that the small group of thugs couldn't see him, so he turned and ran towards the door, when he got to it he slammed his fist on the door.
The door opened and Sasuke pulled him in.
Panting, Naruto leaned up against him and closed his eyes.
"You okay?" Sasuke whispered as he embraced Naruto.
Looking up Naruto nodded, "Yeah, it's jsut a black eye. No big deal."
He rolled his eyes and pulled the blond into the kitchen, "Why were they chasing you?" he walked to the freezer to get ice.
"What's today?"
"You're birthday." Sasuke said as he pulled out some ice and wrapped it in a towel.
"The date Sasuke. The date."
He walked over to Naruto and carefully put the ice over his eye, "The tenth."
Naruto hissed, "And what happen thirteen years ago?"
"Kyuubi got sealed in-oh"
Smiling a bit, Naruto put his hand over Sasuke, "Bingo."
"It still doesn't give them the right to hurt you."
Naruto shrugged, "Well, it's happened for a long time so it doesn't bother me that much anymore." he lied, it bothered him alot.
Sasuke sighed and led Naruto out of the kitchen and upstairs to his room, "Next time this happens just come and tell me and I'll make sure it doesn't happen again."
Allowing himself to be pulled into Sasuke's arms, he sighed quietly, "Alright, love you."
"Love you too."
and I miss you -
like the deserts miss the rain
As he walked home, his eyes were fixed on the sky, the grey, stormy clouds, so different from eariler that day, he sighed quietly, the distant rumble in the distance.
A light flashed behind him as he still walked slowly...
The lightning flashed as he stood under the tree that he and Sasuke had layed under months before.
Tsunande just healed Sasuke, but, Sasuke didn't even acknowledge him when he woke up, and Sakura seemed to be attached to Sasuke since he first opened his eyes.
He exhaled a shaky breath as he leaned back against the tree, staring up through the branches as the lightning flashed again.
Tears stung his eyes, When Tsunande healed Sasuke, did that also make him forget everything? Why didn't he push Sakura off of him? Did he not love Naruto anymore?
Questions rung through his head as thunder rumbled loudly.
Still no rain.
The thunder rumbled again, this time shaking the ground, sounding like it was right above him.
Not caring if it was storming, or if the lightning seemed to get closer, he kept his gaze up at the sky.
He closed his eyes, wishing that Sasuke were here, with him.
"Naruto?"
His eyes snapped open and he turned around slowly. Sasuke stood there, still in his hospital clothes
"You okay?"
Naruto let out a sob as he ran over to Sasuke and threw his arms around him.
"Naruto, what's wrong?" Sasuke sounded concerned, as he wrapped his arms around Naruto to hold him up.
Naruto shook his head and squeezed Sasuke tighter.
"Come on Naruto, tell me."
Taking a shaky breath, he looked up into Sasuke's onyx eyes, "I though you forgot me."
"What?"
Sniffing Naruto layed his head on Sasuke's shoulder, "When you woke up, you didn't even notice me, and then Sakura hugged you...and...I thought you forgot about me."
Hearing Sasuke sigh Naruto try to will away the tears, "It's alright Naruto, don't worry about it, I just didn't know where I was for a moment, and when I didn't see you, I thought you were gone. When I finally became aware of my surroundings, I didn't see you in there. Then Tsunande told me that you were out here, and got Sakura to let me go. You should really thank her."
Finally lifting his head up, Naruto looked in Sasuke's eyes, "I'm glad you're okay."
Smirking a little Sasuke leaned in for a slow kiss, "Yeah, me too."
Back on the train,
I ask why did I come here.
Can I confess
I've been hanging around your old address?
Back in his small one room apartment, Naruto walked into the kitchen and got a glass of water and headed for his bedroom.
Boxes sat in his room, boxes of stuff he still didn't unpack. Stuff he planned to never unpack, stuff that reminded him of Sasuke, and when he moved in with Sasuke.
"Are you sure about this Sasuke?"
Sasuke picked up a box that was labled 'bedroom stuff.' "I'm sure, why? You don't want to move in?"
Almost dropping the box that Naruto had, he quickly shook his head, "No, I do, but what if you get annoyed with me? Or I do something to make you mad?"
Sasuke took a deep breath, set the box down and walked over to Naruto taking the box out of his hands, "I'm not going to get tired of you, or mad, I might get a little annoyed, but I won't kick you out." he kissed Naruto, as if trying to get his point across, "Now, do you want to move in with me?"
Naruto smiled brightly at Sasuke, "Yeah, lets do it."
Handing the box back to Naruto, he went and got the box he had before, "Alright, let's go."
Naruto nodded and followed his lover out to their house.
And the years have proved
to offer nothing since you moved.
You're long gone
but I can't move on,
Staring out his apartment window, Naruto watches as Sai walkes away.
As much as Naruto wanted to go with Sai, he can't. He can't do that to Sai, he doesn't love Sai...not like he still loves Sasuke...
and I miss you -
like the deserts miss the rain
It had been three years and two months since Sasuke left.
It still hasn't rained, at all, the grounds are dry, so is Naruto's heart.
He wishes that this is all a dream, or nightmare, and he's hear Sasuke's voice coaxing him from sleep...
Naruto knows that he won't ever wake up from this nightmare. He hasn't for three years...
In the distance, thunder rumbled.
The lightning flashed in his apartment windows.
But it never rained.
I step off the train,
I'm walking down your street again,
and past your door,
I guess you don't live there anymore.
Naruto excitedly ran through the village gates, and towards the Uchiha mansion.
Even though Sasuke had left earlier than him, there was a small chance that he had come back...
As he ran down the familiar path, his smile dropped and he slowed down.
He wasn't there, the lights were off and the door's lcoked and boarded tight...
It's years since you've been there.
Now you've disappeared somewhere
like outer space,
you've found some better place,
He kept on walking past the mansion, to the training grounds.
As he looked under the tree, he expected to see Sasuke standing there, his arms open, waiting for Naruto to run into them, but he wasn't...
In the distance, thunder rumbled, and it never rained.
and I miss you -
like the deserts miss the rain
The storm was terrible.
The whole apartment shook as a loud boom of thunder tore through the sky.
The lightning flashed and cracked, illuminating the room.
Sitting up in his bed, Naruto looked out the window, a shadow caught his attention.
He gasped, the shadow...it...looked like...Sasuke!
Getting up and running outside, he didn't see the shadow, but he felt he should be out at the mansion.
The dry, scratchy wind blew around him, there was no rain, just thunder and lightning.
Ignoring that, he ran towards the mansion. As he came to it, he stopped, a figure stood at the gates.
"Sasuke?"
The figure stood still, but then his vision went dark as something covered his eyes.
Reaching up, he felt the smooth metal, and then the rough leaf symbol. It was Sasuke's headband
"Naruto..." a voice whispered in his ear.
"Sasuke?"
The cloth over his eyes slowly moved and his vision blurred a bit.
A warm hand on his shoulder turned him around.
Tears filled his vision and the lightning flashed and illumniated the figure.
Sasuke stood there, his hair longer, and he looked more built. All remniants of his childhood gone. His eyes were hard and cold.
"Sasu-"
He was cut off by Sasuke, who had kissed him, it was a rough and desperate kiss that left them both panting when they pulled away.
Leaning against Sasuke he buried his face in Sasuke's shoulder, "I missed you..."
Sasuke didn't say anything, but wrapped his arms around Naruto.
"Are you going to stay?"
Still silent, Sasuke pulled Naruto closer, and dissapeared. A second later, they were in Sasuke's room.
"Sasuke, what-"
He silenced all of the blond's questions by a kiss and pulled him over to the bed.
Pulling Naruto in bed with him, Sasuke wrapped his arms around the blond and pulled him close.
"Goodnight Sasuke." Naruto whispered drifting off to sleep.
"Goodnight..."
The next morning, Naruto awoke cold as he felt around on the bed, he shivered as a chill of air hit him.
The thunder rumbled silently in the distance.
Naruto felt around for some warmth, as his hand hit the bed beside him, his eyes opened wide, it was warm...
Looking around, his eyes took in the dark walls. He looked down at the bed, queen sized, white sheets, black conforter...
He was in Sasuke's room!
Looking around for any signs of Sasuke, he didn't see any...
A loud pitter patter echoed through the room, looking at the window, he noticed big drops of water on it.
It was raining...
Getting out of bed, he stretched and walked to the window, watching the rain fall with a smile on his face.
On the other side of the bed, a white piece of paper lie on the dark blue pillow.
Curiously, Naruto walked over to it and picked it up, inside was Sasuke's neat handwriting.
and I miss you -
like the deserts miss the rain
Folding the note up and putting it in his pocket, Naruto ran to the open window and jumped out of it.
As the rain soaked him, determination filled him, he would bring Sasuke back...
Alright...so, how was that?
Cookie Luving Demon Kitty-Cat, was that too slashy for you? Cause I know you said light slash, and I may have made it too heavy...
Please review, and if you have any requests, please do give them :)
