Nobody said it was easy,
But no one ever said it would be this hard.
"Hey, Sasuke?" Naruto called softly, knocking on the door gently.
There wasn't an answer so he let himself into Sasuke's room.
He found Sasuke standing by the window, his back facing the door.
"What are you doing?" Naruto asked, walking over to Sasuke and peering at the blind boy curiously.
Sasuke pressed his lips together, looking slightly irritated even with a thick bandage covering his eyes.
"Just thinking." Sasuke replied, emotionlessly.
"Sakura is coming over tomorrow." Naruto stated, leaning back against the window so he was facing Sasuke. "She said she wants to give you something."
Sasuke sneered, baring his white teeth. "Tch."
Naruto frowned and studied Sasuke's face.
The boy had lost a lot of weight, his whole appearance looked gaunt and pale (well, paler than usual).
"You need to eat more." Naruto said, poking Sasuke's arm.
Sasuke didn't reply but twitched when Naruto's finger poked him.
"Why are you still here, Usuratonkachi?" Sasuke murmured quietly.
Naruto grimaced at the nickname.
"We've been living together for what- a week? Maybe two? And we haven't had a proper conversation yet." Naruto replied, his voice slightly bitter with regret.
"There's nothing to talk about." Sasuke said, crossing his arms, almost in a defiant manner.
Naruto smiled, a small sad smile, and reached forward, tucking a strand of hair behind Sasuke's ear, mostly just wanting to feel Sasuke's hair against his finger tips than anything else.
Sasuke tensed and ducked his head, dislodging Naruto's hand instantly.
"We have so much to talk about, Sasuke." Naruto whispered before walking out of the room, shutting the door behind him softly.
