Sasuke
knew this was bound to happen.
One
day or another.
It
wasn't fate-just inevitable.
'Cause
not like it could have lasted forever.
Nothing
lasts forever.
Nothing.
And
now the sun is setting-
'Cause
it's Winter's last sunset.
The
ice can't be thawed now.
Lonely
footsteps down the road.
Echoing
as heels click on concrete.
His
eyes wander from the clean floor.
To
an abyss of obsidian.
His
gaze stays locked there.
Just
for a moment-
But
it is not soon before he retrieves it.
Along
with his heart-along with his soul.
And Sasuke
cannot remember...
The
last time he saw such a serious face.
Naruto
is not a beast of burden.
Sasuke
knows that.
But
he deserves to know.
The
news is broken.
And
waits.
And
waits.
And
waits.
There
is no shattering glass.
There
are no tears.
No-nothing.
Nothing,
but empty-
Empty.Silence.
Pleasegodsayanythingjustsay-
Something.
But
words could never have hurt him as much as this did.
Anything.
There
is still no reply.
Their
eyes meet for the last time.
Sasuke
realizes that he can almost see the sun.
Sinking
into the deep ocean.
And
he knows...
That
he will never see the sun rise again.
Waves
crash bitterly in blue eyes.
Before
calming silently.
Sasuke knows.
He knows his words don't float on air.
They tumble-like water crashing in a moving bucket.
From
the fall from grace-shards.
They
embed themselves.
On
smooth soft skin.
Sasuke's
hands are trembling.
Naruto
says nothing.
Sasuke
wishes he did.
His
eyes caught on.
His-no,
their memories confined.
Tan
hands sprayed on a worn brown box.
Weather
worn.
Tired.
Just
like he is.
Naruto
knows he needs sleep.
Maybe
forever.
Sasuke
needs to start fresh.
Sakura-Naruto-Sasuke.
They
all need to start fresh.
Jaded
blue eyes move to the door.
His
only escape.
From
the melancholy that plans to suffocate him.
Baby steps.
Naruto
tells himself.
Baby
steps.
Towards
the door.
Towards
the end.
To
the endless grey skies.
To
the clouds' shadows casted.
In
a way-
History
was repeating itself.
But
there is no way to make it right.
The
door closes.
And
Sasuke is left to wonder-
If
his decision
Was
for the best.
Sasuke
knows this was bound to happen.
And
it did.
Because
nothing lasts forever.
Nothing.
Because
he is getting married with Sakura.
Because
Naruto is his setting sun.
In
the cold Winter horizon.
Finale.
