My apologies to anyone named Rachel or Abby. They were being really
annoying for people claiming to be my best friends! The banana cream ramen
was their idea. It was gross, ne? They also had me write most of the
notes on that page, so sorry if those annoyed you. Thanks for reviewing
again, Jiro. I actually thought that chapter was the worst, but I guess I
was wrong. Enjoy the fic, please!
Chapter 5- Sleeptalking
That same night- (It just keeps going and going, doesn't it?)
The members of team 6 were all asleep that night, excepting Kakashi, who was having *fun* with Iruka. Sakura was very tired, as was Ino, from their earlier activities, and Naruto and Sasuke were cuddled together, and asleep. At least, Naruto was asleep, until a crack in the roof and a sudden rain woke him. Sasuke, who was not under the leak, still slept soundly.
Naruto's POV
Damn leak! When ever I am tired, it rains. At least I am still warm- because Sasuke is hugging me. Am I still dreaming?
End POV
Naruto looked down at the still sleeping Sasuke. Her face was bathed in moonlight, and the shadows of the raindrops running down the window eerily made her look as if she was crying. On impulse, Naruto bent over and kissed her, softly. After Naruto ended the kiss, Sasuke spoke. "Is that him? Naruto?" Startled, Naruto found that Sasuke was talking in his sleep. "No. You can't! Please, don't let him be taken away too. So much loss; can I love and not be hurt?" Naruto heard pain and loss in Sasuke's voice, and correctly guessed that Sasuke was having a nightmare. At the same time, real tears joined the shadows on his face. At a loss for what to do, Naruto spoke to the sleeping ninja.
"Sasuke, wake up. Everything is fine, I am still here. I won't leave you, Sasuke, so please stop crying. I hurt when you cry. Just please wake up." Naruto murmured, and his words had the desired effect. Sasuke's tearstained eyes opened and looked up to Naruto's, and before Naruto could speak, Sasuke was crying again. Her head was buried in Naruto's shirt, and the shirt's owner could feel the salty tears through the cloth. Awkwardly, Naruto patted Sasuke's back as he sobbed, and waited for the other to speak. After what felt like ages of crying, she did.
"I hate that nightmare. It comes every night. Every night, in my dreams, something happens to you, and I can't stop it. Every night, you die before I can tell you I love you. Every night." Sasuke was crying again. At the same time, something Sasuke had said reverberated in Naruto's thoughts- 'I love you.' Naruto couldn't remember being told that before. His parents had not been that kind of people, and Iruka had never said it out loud.
"Sasuke," Naruto said, "I love you too. I will never leave you." Sasuke lifted his head from Naruto's chest, and after Naruto had wiped the tears away, he kissed him. With that, they both laid back down on the bed, and held the other close. Goodnights were repeated, but this time were punctuated by kisses and whispered 'I love you's. Naruto blessed the leak over his bed, and promised never to fix it, before joining his beloved in sleep.
Outside, the clock tower struck midnight.
