Theme twenty eight: Sorrow

Pairing: SasuNaru

Rating: T

Ever since Naruto became Hokage, Sasuke had seen less and less of him. Even though their relationship wasn't public, it seem like the whole world was against them spending time together. At first it was just the prerequisites for becoming Hokage, slowly eating away at their 'us' time and devouring Naruto's seemingly endless energy as he took on more and more of the responsibilities. He'd come home at night and practically pass out on their bed and unless Sasuke was lucky, the blonde would be gone before his boyfriend was awake.

To Sasuke, it seemed the only good parts of his day was reading the love notes Naruto always left for him and snuggling up to him in his sleep. Regardless of this, Sasuke could practically feel himself going insane from lack of Naruto. He could also tell the blonde was loosing weight from lack of eating and over exerting himself and it scared him how skinny the younger boy was getting.

One night he was slowly eating his dinner alone again, when he felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around his midsection. He looked up to see the boy he'd been thinking and worrying about.

"Hey, Sasuke-teme." he said, giving him one of his trademark grins, "I got Tsunade-baa-chan to let me off early so I could come home to see you."

The raven haired boy turned his head to the side and kissed the blonde passionately on the lips. When they broke apart, Sasuke patted his lap, wordlessly asking the younger boy to join him for dinner. Naruto smiled and gratefully took the offered seat, happily munching on the food Sasuke fed him.

Maybe, just maybe, they'd be able to make it through this together.
