This time apart was really taking its toll on the poor blonde love-stricken boy. Naruto was not himself with out Sasuke around- all he wanted to do was lie in bed and all he did was cry to a CD mix given to him by the aforementioned Sasuke.
His brothers, Kiba and Shikamaru, did everything they could think of to cheer him up- taking his chores, making him ramen, letting him have the room to himself, giving him the last slice of pizza, doing his school work- normal things that would make him rather cheery.
But all of these efforts were in vain. Naruto barely stirred and when one of them asked of his problem, they only furthered his despair.
He only wanted Sasuke.
All he could think about was how much of a catch Sasuke was- he was tall, dark haired and smart. To be honest, his only flaw may just be his apathy towards others, but that wouldn't stop those-those home wreckers from trying to put the moves on him. When he thought about this, he started crying.
All he could see was Sasuke and some random floozy getting all close, his family around him, cheering them on. Naruto knew that his parents, who won't even approve of his musical choice, wouldn't even tolerate him being in love with another boy. They must be so thrilled to have their son surrounded by women. When the image implanted itself into his head, he cried again.
All he could hear were those girls giggling at Sasuke, laughing at one of his jokes. His parents telling him that he should ask one of them out or something and the words, "will you go out with me?" falling from Sasuke's lips in his smooth voice. And, of course, they would say yes because it was Sasuke- moody, handsome, funny Sasuke. When he heard Sasuke say those words to someone, he cried even harder.
This was one of the most depressive weeks of his life. His heart longed to be near Sasuke, but, as he thought on this all, he realized that he would never be able to look the boy in eyes. Not when he could only picture him cheating on him.
Tsunade tapped on his door lightly. "Naruto, you wanna come down for dinner?"
The blonde groaned. For the last few days he had been eating upstairs alone, so that he may pout in peace, but he could tell that his behavior was really worrying his mother now. He got up from bed and opened the door. "Yeah," he smiled weakly. "I'll be down soon."
She smiled back at him, then walked back down the steps.
Naruto cast one look out his window. It was still snowing…
Sasuke watched the snow soberly. He only had to endure a few more days of this crap before returning to Naruto. He wondered what the blonde was doing since he left and if he missed him this much as well.
Suddenly, he had this weird feeling- something inside him ached. It was hard to describe the sensation. It was like his heart was in a cold frenzy, like the mind of a frozen puppet; aware of things yet unable to act. Gripping his chest, Sasuke's breath escalated. "What's happening…?" Something was wrong…something with Naruto. He could feel it.
For a moment, he stood still, trying to figure what could be causing this pain or what could possibly be happening to his love. However the pain only increased and, with it, his anger. What was wrong with Naruto? He had to find out- he had to get to him somehow! But he had no way of leaving this Hell hole. His parents would never let him go alone and they certainly weren't going just because he wanted to.
"Goddammit," Sasuke swore to himself. His grip tightened as the pain, once more, escalated.
The boy found it hard to breath. The room was spinning around him; everything was turning so fast. His head pounded, his vision blurred. Nothing was making sense to him- why was he suffering so much right now, so far from his lover, when all he ever wanted was back home waiting for him? Why did he put himself through hell so often to please these overbearing people? He only wanted, no- he only needed Naruto.
That was all he needed… With the blonde at his side, he could live the life he'd always imagined.
Everything else in his life was suffocating him- his overbearing parents, their rules, their family and all the stressful elements in his life that they have forced onto him.
There was a ringing in Sasuke's head. He moves his hands quickly move to block out the noise but feeling a sudden wave of nausea, falls to his knees harshly. A choking sound echoed in his head and all was dark.
It felt as though Sasuke was floating underwater. Sounds reverberated, images blurred. He felt like he wasn't in control of his own body. Instead, the waves of water sweeping around him moved it. It was like he was looking through a veil, listening through a wall. This feeling was so surreal.
Then pain. All pain.
His arm throbbed. His heart ached.
Why did he hurt so much?
What was wrong with him?
Sasuke let out a scream, a cry. His tears flowed over pale cheeks.
Why is this happening…?
There were noises; not his screaming but loud thuds. Footsteps, coming from the hall. Voices flooded in through the door.
They all mixed together, speaking at the same time. Sasuke couldn't comprehend any of them.
But then he heard a voice. It was beautiful, angelic, pure and oh so familiar. It was speaking to him directly, whispering in his ear.
"Sasuke, come back to me…"
