Let me explain a few things before you read this.
Firstly it's a songfic. The song is called "Jul" and the band that play it
is "Snowstorm" sp they own the song. The song is actually in Swedish, so I
had to translate the lyrics. The Swedish lyrics stands within these marks:
"." and The English translation stands within these marks: (.)
This is a fic about Christmas. In out country you celebrate Christmas late
at Christmas eve, you gather the whole family and watch a Donald Duck
cartoon that's on Tv. Then you eat and have fun with your family. After
that Santa comes to give out presents. There is also two 'words' I want to
explain that I could find a good translation to. First we have well-park.
It's a park wit a 'well' in, though the well is most often more like a
little fountain or something. They exist all over Sweden. Also wishing-
wells, it's a well where you toss a coin into it and make a wish. That's
about everything I think.
I don't Own Naruto! Just so you know it. ^_^
In this fiction I have tried to get a grip about (mainly) Naruto's feelings about being alone when it's worst to be alone.
.:::Alone on Christmas:::.
"Nu är det jul igen och alla ljusen tindrar Snögubbar överallt och lyktor i varje park Mot den bitande kylan får vi julklappar som lindrar. Aldrig på året är gemenskapen så stark"
(Now it's Christmas again and all the candles are shimmering Snowmen everywhere and lanterns in every park For the biting cold we get Christmas presents that's mitigates Never in the year the fellowship's so strong)
Winter rule the weather in Konohagure. Miles and miles a cover of snow numbs the earth. Snowflakes are falling even this day, to mostly everyone's happiness. In every corner where there's room there's a snowman smiling at you. Children's laughter is heard from everywhere, they are having snowball fights in the middle of the village. They are in all ages, even adults is participating in the games with laughter. Yes, love is flourishing everywhere. Just about every Ninja is home for the weekend to be with their family. If only so for this one time a year, the countries are in peace.
"Men det är någon i brunsparken som gråter som ser julen i annat perspektiv Som är ensam när skuggor kommer åter Och förmörkar tanke, fä och liv"
(But there is someone in the well-park who is crying Who sees the Christmas in another perspective Who is lonely when the shadows come back And darkens thought, beast and life)
Naruto pulls up the zip of his jacket as he walks out from his small apartment. He shudders slightly as the cold winds sweep past him over and over. He let his footsteps carry him along the road leading towards the Centrum of the village. He tries to dig his hands deeper into the pockets so the jacket feels more close to him. He loved to feel warm right out in the cold. At the other side of Konohagure Sasuke was at home carefully treating his wounds from a three-day training with Kakashi. He had seen to it that he had a reason for staying home at this weekend. He had actually screwed up on purpose to get a wound big enough to be ordered to stay in bed. He reaches for the string to turn the blinds. And a pleasant darkness falls inside the room.
"Kommersen är blomstrande vi fyller önskebrunnar Och nästan överallt, från största hus till minsta skjul Står skinkan på bordet, och det vattnas i våra munnar Kalle Anka och hans vänner önskar god jul."
(The commerce is flourishing, we fill up wishing-wells And almost everywhere, from the biggest house to the smallest cabin The ham is on the table, and our mouths are watering Donald Duck and his friends whish a merry Christmas)
On the road Naruto is walking on he suddenly spot Sakura standing by a window, looking at a pair of shoes. Probably hoping to find them wrapped up in a nice red paper with little dears on. She notice Naruto walking and she flash him a smile. "Hiii Naruto!!" She shouts clearly and waves towards him. "Hi Sakura!" He greets her cheerfully. He would like to run up to her but just about then her parents call on her. And before running up to them she shouts a last sentence "See you in two days or so!" And she disappears around the corner. Alone again he suddenly feels his stomach rumbling and picks up the scent of Christmas food. He makes a face, as he knows he doesn't have a cent left to buy anything. And he walks on through the village, looking at happy families and couples holding hands. Sasuke had just finished changing his bandages he sits down in his bed and grabs the remote. The TV flickers before showing a clear picture. He zaps between some channels before he turns it off again. Only Christmas shows on each channel. He decides to make himself some food and slowly rise to go out towards the kitchen. A couple of rice balls would be nice. He opens the pantry to understand that he needs to go down to the local shops. It's next to empty, nothing but a few slices of bread.
"Men det är någon i brunsparken som gråter som ser julen i annat perspektiv Som är ensam när skuggor kommer åter Och förmörkar tanke, fä och liv"
(But there is someone in the well-park who is crying Who sees Christmas in another perspective Who is lonely when the shadows come back And darkens thought, beast and life)
At last Naruto ends up in the outskirts of the village. He pulled up his shoulders to cover his face in the orange jacket. He stares down at the gravel covered little road and sighs. Alone again. Why he keep walking this round every Christmas is a riddle. He knows that he's just going to end up alone and a little hurt again. He sit down at a bench in a park nearby and leans against the arm stead as he pulls up his legs. It's still cold outside, but his body is starting to numb off a bit so it doesn't feel just as cold. No one is out anymore. The sun has set and darkness has settled. The weak light from the clouded sky doesn't help much to light up. The snow is still falling. Between the flakes he spots someone else. There is actually someone that's out besides him? He allows some effort into getting a better look of who it is. Sasuke. It's Sasuke. What is he doing out this night? Doesn't he have anyone to- And it struck him. That's right. Sasuke didn't have any parents of family either. He was alone, just like himself. He watched to boy walk up to the little store and pulling the handle. But the door wouldn't open. Of course not, all stores was closed on this day. Everything was sleeping this time of year. Only inside the houses there where life. If you were lucky enough to live in such a house. Sasuke put his hands in his pockets again with a sigh. He looked around before turning home and spotted Naruto. Their eyes met just briefly. In this matter they actually understood each other. They were both alone on the biggest holiday of the year. And they nodded towards each other, then Sasuke turned around to walk away. And Naruto watched him disappear.
"Juldags morgonsolens första strålar träffar taken Och eldens sista låga flämtar svagt i våran spis Men det är inte bara tomten som är vaken Någonstans i stan blir tårar till is"
(Christmas morning's sun's first rays hit the roofs And the fire's last flame flicker weak in our stove But it is not only Santa that's awake Somewhere in the town tears freeze to ice
Naruto wakes up slowly the next morning. His joints are stiff and cold. He had actually fallen asleep on that bench. His cheeks are frozen from tears that had trickled from his eyes. Snow has fallen on his clothes and head; he almost looks like a snowman himself. Pulling his hands out from his pockets he sat up on the bench. It was early at daybreak. He rose and brushed off the powder-snow. He peeled of the ice on his cheeks and started to head home. Even if there was no one waiting there, it was at least warm *rumble* (- stomach making noise) and had food. He glanced over towards Sasuke apartment. The blinds were shut so he could see in. He turned around and started to head home, alone. From inside his apartment Sasuke was watching the blond boy. If he hadn't woken up at that instant he would've went down there to get him inside to some heat. It wasn't healthy to stay outside like that. Still he understood Naruto. To spend Christmas in an empty apartment. was nothing you wished for.
"Det är någon i brunsparken som gråter som ser julen i annat perspektiv Som är ensam när skuggor kommer åter Och förmörkar tanke, fä och liv"
(There is someone in the well-park who is crying Who sees Christmas in another perspective Who is lonely when the shadows come back And darkens thought, beast and life)
.:::The End:::.
Please would you drop by a review? I'm going to write more Naruto fics, though I don't like starting to post before I've written the whole story, the updating tends to be really bad then. So look out for more stories by me if you liked this one :)
