~Chapter 11b: Remembering What Happiness Means~
Sasuke passed by the field of flowers he had come to appreciate once more and sat down. He took in a deep breath and started picking the prettier flowers.
A few minutes later, he was walking down the street, greeting his friends along the way, the array of wild flowers in his hands.
He had met Ino and Shikamaru on the way. The two were arguing over some trivial matter. (Most likely because Ino wanted something done and Shikamaru felt too lazy to do it.) But it was amusing.
Then he saw Lee and Sakura talking with each other on a park bench. They looked pretty much in their own little world and Sasuke didn't want to bother them so he left them pretty much alone. He'll just have to remember asking them about that later.
He ran into Naruto and Gaara. They were just on their way to Ichiraku. Well, actually it was just Naruto dragging a reluctant Gaara to the ramen stall but... Oh well.
He spotted Kakashi pinning a blushing Iruka to a tree somewhere. Sasuke had felt his brow twitch at the sight. It's not that it was wrong but still, those two should have gotten a room somewhere away from public viewing. Who knows just which kid they'd actually end up traumatizing for that. And that could also be considered as one of the reasons why Kakashi is indeed a pervert. Oh yeah, he's a nice guy but still a pervert.
There was a sad smile on his face as he went into the cemetery and stopped in front of several graves.
"I know you'll probably hate me for being so sinfully happy. I guess life just has this strange way of twisting things around. But I don't regret it. I don't regret falling in love with him. I don't think I could live without him in my life. It just seems so wrong to continue living without him."
Then he looked up at the sky as the wind picked up.
"I love him. I always will, no matter how wrong it seems to you. I hope that you would find it in your heart to forgive me for not doing what was expected of me."
He smiled. "Next time I come here, I'll bring Aniki along, Otousan, Okaasan."
Then he bowed in front of his parents' graves and walked away.
~~~~~
The room was pristine white, from the walls to the floor, from the curtains to the bedsheets. It was all white. Well, it was to be expected especially in a hospital.
The door opened as Sasuke slipped in, a smile on his face.
"Aniki, I'm here again. I got you some flowers from the field. I hope you'll like them."
The still figure on the bed did not respond. The only other sound in the room was the consistent beeping of the monitor. The patient was swathed in several bandages and appeared to be in deep sleep.
The younger Uchiha sighed. Itachi hadn't regained consciousness since that night. It had already been three days. The doctors had managed to stabilize him but that was pretty much all they could do. Even the Godaime couldn't do anything more.
Sasuke leaned over his brother and brushed back a few errant locks, not noticing that Itachi's hand twitched slightly. "I went to see Mother and Father today."
Sasuke moved back to place the flowers in the empty vase beside the bed. His eyes were trained solely on the flowers that he didn't see his brother's hands flexing. "And I told them that I loved you, that I don't really regret loving you and that I can't live without you."
"I wish you would wake up so that I could tell you that I love you."
"I love you too, Sasuke."
Sasuke's eyes widened at the sound of the young man's voice and he looked at his brother. Itachi was smiling at him.
The younger Uchiha threw his arms around his brother, encasing him in a tight hug. Itachi winced a little but let it slide, smiling warmly.
"I thought you would never wake. I missed you. I love you so much."
"I love you too, Sasuke. I always will, to forever and beyond."
