Sasuke sighed and rubbed his temple while looking out of plane's window. The sky was dark and gloomy outside with a forecast of a coming storm. He felt like the darkness and coldness was seeping into his soul. Sasuke closed his eyes tightly and then looked at the dark sky. Being not able to tell Naruto was making him anxious. He couldn't forget the sickly look on his lover's face. That face which shown with so much energy and those blue pools of crystal clear water were cloudy too. He really wanted to tell him, he wanted to at least explain a bit. He wanted to kiss Naruto's plump lips before boarding on plane or just give him a simple yet meaningful tight hug to feel Naruto's body flush against him. It was bad enough that he didn't even called him once last night because of his own breakdown but to not able to talk now was even worst. It almost felt like fates were taking revenge on him for his coldness with blond male.

"Hey Sasuke. You OK?" Alex asked him and he just gave him a blank look before nodding and looking away.

"I really am sorry about your cell phone" Alex said again apologizing and Sasuke again felt irritated on his idiocy but remained calm.

"It's fine Alex really."

Alex smiled, "You can make your call once we land in Munich." Alex was trying to make him cheerful but the dread Sasuke was feeling couldn't be soothed with these empty words so he just gave a curt node and started looking outside. No matter what he couldn't shake of the feeling of dread.

"How long will it take?" Sasuke tried to concentrate something else.

"Well it may take one to two weeks on the investigations and then we have to talk with the company on this matter because the main company's other two shareholders are trying to end the deal with our company because of this matter." Alex explained and Sasuke felt his headache coming back.

He was the one who was in charge for the whole transport and responsible for deal and he wasn't an immature. All of the products were checked by him and he knew it was impossible for them to be expired. He never did anything halfheartedly! He was going to get to the depth of this matter. Sasuke was confident it was just a conspiracy against his company and no one was going to get away with this. Sasuke felt determent and stared outside but he couldn't shrug off the feeling in the pit of his stomach. He sighed, a storm was definitely coming this way.

Naruto twirled the pen in his fingers and gave a side glanced to his cell's screen but it was still blank with no message or call. Naruto bit his lips and slid his fingers into his hairs. It was no use. He heard from Ann that Sasuke visited his cabin while he was away but after that he couldn't get hold of Sasuke at all. He tried asking others but no one knew where he was. Sai called once other's texted him too asking if he was okay? Or if he wanted them. Even Konan messaged him asking for any updates. But he just gave small replies telling them he was okay.

He felt stupid and frustrated for being so pathetic in front of Sasuke and not dealing situation with maturity. He clenched his fist, what was with him? 'Haven't I cried enough the night before? Why do I have to act so miserable in front of that bastard? He must be thinking I'm so pathetic and immature.' Naruto thought bitterly.

He looked at the pile of files and all of unfinished tasks. He couldn't concentrate at all. 'He must have worked with all of his finesse and flawlessness all day.' Naruto smiled sadly. 'Huh' His heart clenched painfully on a mere thought of ice prince. He felt sick all over again and that wasn't just because of his hangover. It was more than that. It was because of the hope and despair in his heart fighting mercilessly and making his thoughts and feelings a mess. He thought back to Sasuke's short visit. 'Sasuke's eyes were soft weren't they? His face had a pained expression too. May be... May be Sasuke came to say sorry. May be finally he felt that indescribable burn too?' Naruto tried to calm his raging heart. 'His eyes were red right. May be he couldn't sleep without my warmth also. May be he yearned for me whole night too.' He added for Sasuke's defense against his insecurities.

He tried to muster a weak smile and then sighed muttering, "Bastard… I can't even function properly without him. And he doesn't even know it." Naruto looked at his watch. It was already six. Naruto clasped his hands around the files dabbed his dry lips with his tongue. It was time to go home to Sasuke. To his rightful place. 'I'm so stupid. What is with me going ahead and just accepting the proposal? It's impossible for Sasuke to not love me. I'm just that awesome. Sasuke will be so pissed when I will tell him. But I'm angry too. He is the one who has a stick up his cute ass. He created the mess.' Naruto nodded while all the thoughts ran in his mind.

He wasn't going to think negative. No, He was going to be positive. Sasuke wanted to talk and he will talk with Sasuke. He loved Sasuke with every fiber of his being so it wasn't even a possible for Naruto to not forgive Sasuke. If Sasuke acted this way than that logical bastard must have a good enough reason for this. 'Even if he doesn't love me right now and want a chance at love with me again. I'm going to give him that. Ugh I'm so stupidly in love with him. I must be insane thinking all of this by myself. No more thinking!' He shook his head and smacked his palms lightly on his cheeks to clear his thoughts. He tucked all the papers inside the files. He was going to use that bastards help in getting all of this stuff done. Well it was Sasuke's fault for making him a mess. H took his keys, his phone and some files and got out of his cabin. He peered at Sasuke's cabin which was dark. 'So he already went home. Typical Bastard.' Naruto huffed and got out. He knew he was thinking too normally and optimistically but it was his plus point. He wasn't a person to dwell on something too much. He always wanted to make things better instead of crying over it. So if Sasuke wanted to say something. He was going to give him a chance.

When he was in parking he shivered a bit and looked at the sky. It was dark and the night was a bit too cold for Naruto's liking. Moon's absence was making night a bit too mysterious and heavy. Naruto bit his lips, in all of his worries he totally forgot that Sai drove him today. Damn it. Naruto huffed. He didn't wanted to be late.

"Hey Naruto." Naruto flinched slightly on the calling of his name and turned to see none other than Konan. She was wearing a cute beige long sweater with skinny black jeans and a long sleeved leather black jacket with long boots to complement her appearance. Her hairs were falling on the both sides of her face and she was smiling and waving.

"Hey." Naruto looked surprised.

"I was just going to meet a friend and saw you standing here spacing out so I though why not say hello to you." She smirked. Her cheeks were a light pink due to night's cold breeze.

Naruto gave a lopsided grin embarrassed. "Hey. I wasn't spacing out. It's just I didn't had my car with me so I was a just thinking about taking a bus or taxi." He explained and Konan tilted her head.

"And why's that?" She asked while walking closer.

Naruto chewed his lower lip and shrugged, "I didn't used the car to get to your house and well I stayed at friend's so I just have my keys and my car is at apartment complex." Konan's eyes gleamed dangerously for a sec and then she nodded.

"Oh I see. Then why don't you come with me. I'll give you a ride." She smiled.

Naruto shook his head, "No, No. You don't have to really. You'll be late. You were going to your friend's home right." Konan gave a breathtaking smile.

She easily closed the distance between and gently cupped Naruto's cheeks. Naruto looked a bit taken aback. She stroked his cheek and looked a bit sad. "You may not love me but I love you please don't forget it. And for me nothing is more important than you. So not move you cute ass to me seat." She release her hands and winked at him playfully and Naruto felt the pang of guilt in his heart but complied with her nonetheless.

The ride back to apartment was peaceful and he easily relaxed while Konan chattered happily. Telling him her stories and laughing freely. He couldn't help but laugh with her, she was such a sweet girl. "And here we are." After twenty minutes' drive they were already there. "Goodbye comes so abruptly." She sighed and looked at him.

"Umm why not come inside? I'll make some tea." Naruto felt bad for getting a free ride and tried to ask her even though he just wanted to run into his apartment and talk with Sasuke.

She shook he head, "Not this time. I'm already late. If I delayed any longer she'll have my head." She made a funny face and Naruto chuckled.

"If it's this serious than I won't insist. Tea can wait for another time." Naruto said smiling and Konan giggled. Naruto said bye and got out of the car but before he could close the door Konan called to him, he leaned and then that happened. Konan so easily pulled him closer, smacking her lips on him. Naruto's lips parted and Konan slipped her tongue in quickly. She gave a quick lick to his tongue and pulled back smiling with flushed face. "Goodbye." Naruto was so stunned he only nodded and shut the door and she drove away.

Naruto touched his lips with his fingertips. Konan… Randomly confessing, offering a ride and then giving a goodbye kiss. Wasn't she already acting like his lover? And what about his actual lover. Sasuke never did anything sweet for him but Naruto didn't let this come in between in them. He sighed, nervousness was coming to him again. Naruto didn't even knew when he entered the lift and then approached their apartment. Naruto felt so frozen. He didn't wanted to think. No matter what he tried to think his thoughts always turned wild making him anxious so for he just blocked all of his thoughts.

There was no light which meant Sasuke wasn't home yet. Naruto gulped visibly and entered the key in hole with shaky hands. He came inside and switched on the hallway's light shutting the door behind him.

He slowly walked past the kitchen and stopped for a moment. The sweet homey smell still lingered in the air. Naruto inhaled shakily and slid his fingers anxiously in his blond hairs. Everything here was same just the way he left it but nothing was same with him. He bit his lips and came into the lounge and flopped on the soft couch. And now once he was all alone he couldn't shake of his depressing thoughts. What if Sasuke just wanted to say sorry and end things nicely? He is the more mature one right. He was always worried whenever I would spend night outside. He is just responsible. Naruto bit his trembling lips and looked at the ceiling.

Why didn't he loved me back? Was my love this shallow? Has it never gone through him? What was I for him? Naruto tried to control the stinging sensation in his eyes and rubbed them trying to control his tears. But it was so damn difficult. Loving someone for a long time and in the end being rejected so harshly, his heart wasn't made of stone. When you love someone you heart becomes delicate like glass for them. Even a simple thing can make it crack and shattered and what Sasuke said wasn't simple or small by any means. Naruto felt his heart throbbing painfully. The reality of whole situation was hitting him in the face so harshly that he felt like his heart was bleeding his murdered emotions. He took deep breathes to smooth his breathing but it wasn't helping, he felt cold and alone.

He took his phone out of his pocket and checked for any messages from Sasuke but there was none making him more anxious. Where was he? Why isn't he back? Naruto curled in a ball on the couch. 'Should I text him?' Naruto thought with nervousness. He felt cold yet his palms were sweating. He licked his chapped lips and swallowed his pride, sending a quick text and then dropping the cell on the table. He looked at the clock. It was seven now. Sasuke was late.

Sasuke sighed for seventh time in the last fifteen minutes and stared irritated at the idiot sitting around the table. They had a long nine and a half hour flight and when the landed in the Munich those bastard didn't even let them go to their hotel. Not to mention the weather was horribly cold. Sasuke felt his brain cells frying but he couldn't even glare at them. They didn't even allowed him to make a quick call, 'arresting' them straight from the airport to this hell. Do they have any decency at all? It was fucking one in the morning! Who the hell has a meeting this time? Fine according to NY it was may be seven but they had a log stressing flight and these assholes weren't helping with their idiocy.

Sasuke rubbed his temples and tried to reason with those angry wolves but it was no use. Sasuke bit his lips, fates were really bent on making him miserable. He had no doubt now. All he could think was about Naruto and what he would feel. He prayed to Gods that Naruto heard about leaving him from someone at the office. He didn't wanted to look at that sick and pale face ever again. 'Once this meeting ends I'm going to call him even if it 3 in the morning.' Sasuke thought determinedly. Alex looked at Sasuke's face with a icy gaze and then excused himself getting out of the office.

He took out Sasuke's phone and looked at the message from Naruto, 'Where are you?'

Alex smirked, 'Oh now what should I say?' Alex smiled wickedly and then sent a message and then switched off the phone. When he returned Sasuke looked at him with a raised eyebrow and Alex smiled apologetically. They resumed the meeting which took another two hours, making Sasuke heart beat loudly in his rib cage. Making him anxious with each passing moment.
