A Kind Heart
by: theevilmuffin

x-x-x-x

There is a barrier between Sasuke and rest of Team 7, and that barrier is Sasuke's calm, collected personality, a selected, irritated glare and calculated scowl. There is nothing about him that isn't practiced, and what drives the distance further between them is that no one realizes that Sasuke isn't supposed to be like this. They just all think that Sasuke was born a bastard and a prick; they don't think that maybe Sasuke actually was once just a child like them. Sasuke uses this ignorance to push away from them, but it is he who never realizes that the others have never doubted his kind heart.
