Chapter 14: Sorry

Sasuke walked in the front door of the apartment he and Suigetsu shared. It was rather quiet as if no one was home, but he knew better than to assume that. He set his things down by the front door and took off his shoes before making his way into the apartment.

"I'm home!" he yelled, hoping for a response.

Suigetsu appeared in the doorway from the kitchen, a smile absent from his face.

"How long you home for?" he asked.

"I didn't think that leaving would ruin us like this, I'm home for good," Sasuke said. Sasuke looked down, finding it hard to look Suigetsu in the eye after what he did with Naruto.

"Why won't you look me in the eye?" he asked.

"I love you, so much," Sasuke said as he closed his eyes, feeling like shit.

"I love you too, now what's wrong," sensing that Sasuke was trying to make up for something.

"Nothing is wrong, I'm here with you, exactly where I need to be, that's all that matters," Sasuke said, wrapping his arms around Suigetsu.

"Here with me? What do you mean by that?" he asked, obviously angry.

"I'm sorry," he frowned guilt showing in his eyes.

"Did you kiss him?" Suigetsu asked, the anger rising in his voice.

"Suigetsu, please, I'm sorry," he pleaded.

"What about sex? Did you sleep with him too?" he asked angrier.

"I was drunk, it was one time, I came home right after," Sasuke said moving toward him. "I love you, not him."

"Are you sure, because you couldn't say that to me before," Suigetsu looked disgusted. "And you sure as hell, don't do that to people you love."

"I would have never done that sober," he said.

"You stay on the couch, I need time to think," he said as he walked into the room, slamming the door.

"Suigetsu, this isn't how it's supposed to be when I come back," he said as he leaned against the door.

"Then don't be a cheating slut!" he yelled.

"I was drunk!" he growled.

"That doesn't excuse anything!" he could tell Suigetsu was close to crying, that he felt betrayed.

"I'm sorry, it'll never happen again," he said.

"How can I be so sure?" he scoffed.

"Because I love you," Sasuke pleaded. 'Or at least I like you, 'Sasuke thought but didn't dare say, he was trying to make up with him not be thrown out.

"Funny how you say now that you're trying to make up with me," he rolled his eyes.

"Remember when I was about to leave and we couldn't take our hands off each other? I was missing that and I was drunk," he sighed.

"And there just so happened to be a hot blond," Suigetsu growled.

"I said I'm sorry, how many times do you want me to say it?" Sasuke said.*

"How many times until you start meaning it?" Suigetsu snapped.

"I do mean it, you have no idea how much I regret it," Sasuke frowned.

"Prove it," Suigetsu said.

Suigetsu thought that Sasuke had given up as it had been an hour and he hadn't heard from Sasuke. Sasuke however had grabbed his guitar and sat in the other room working on a song. After he finished, he took his guitar and sat by the room Suigetsu had locked himself in and started to play.

Sasuke had missed Suigetsu; it was true, though not as much as he thought he would. Those lines were not poetic though; those kinds of lines did not win somebody back. He was trying to make it right between them, telling the somewhat truth. He figured that if they could get through this, they could get through anything.

He hated how he made Suigetsu feel. It killed him to know that he broke his promise; he had been taught more morals than that as a child. He didn't know how to communicate the feelings he had now to him just by talking, so he hoped the song would work well.

Sasuke continued to play to the closed door, wishing it would open, just to know that Suigetsu was listening. He wanted to know his reaction. However, there was no such luck, so he continued playing, in hopes that it might work.

Suigetsu wanted to believe that Sasuke was sorry, that they could just go back to the way that they were. However, they were just falling apart and with the new information that he just received in all likelihood they would continue to do so, especially after what he's done while Sasuke's been on the road.

Suigetsu knew that Sasuke just wanted his normal life back, or what little bit or normalcy he had. He didn't think they could truly make it, his brain was saying no, but his heart was saying yes, or more his body was saying yes. Suigetsu was unsure when their relationship had gone down from love to lust, but as evident from when he visited, it had happened.

Suigetsu opened the door. He looked at Sasuke and let out a sigh. Sasuke continued to sing to him as he walked over. He was trying to make up, trying to show that he meant he was sorry. Yet somehow all Suigetsu could do was frown.

Suigetsu just shook his head no. Their love was truly starting to kill him and he couldn't take it anymore. He needed someone less destructive in his life. It was as if his purpose in Sasuke's life had been served and now they should move on.

Sasuke stopped playing and they looked at each other in silence a moment.

"I don't know if I can do this anymore," Suigetsu said.

"Suigetsu," Sasuke frowned.

"Sasuke, we both know we won't work out, maybe we're better off as friends than we are as lovers," he said.

"You know I didn't have to be honest," Sasuke said.

"I would have known," Suigetsu frowned.

"Nothing has to change," he frowned.

"Yes it does, because I can't look at you the same, I can't love you the same, and I need to be with someone who truly loves me," he said.

"I do love you," Sasuke protested.

"Not the way a lover should," Suigetsu said.

Sasuke looked down as he sighed, "Is there any way I can change your mind?"

"We'll see," he let out a chuckle. "Let's get some sleep and think about it, you take the couch."

"Why do I get the couch?" Sasuke glared.

"Because you're the one who cheated," he smirked. "And the bed in the other room isn't set up right now."

"What?" he asked, confused.

"Karin was doing some remodeling to the house while you were gone," Suigetsu said.

"Oh," he sounded worried.

"Well goodnight," Suigetsu gave a small smile.

"Night," he said, watching Suigetsu disappear into the room.

Sasuke had no idea what was in store for him the next day. He also didn't know that a certain blond was on his way.

TBC...
