"Back away! Don't you dare to come any closer, or I will jump!"
A lady in an elegant red tight dress of olden English style, a tight grip on the railings as she stood precariously on a metal bar, with her back facing the icy sea while she looked at a man who was currently removing his coat.
"You jump, I jump."
The blond man replied easily as he pulled off his shoes.
"You are crazy! Insane! I am just a stranger that you just met! Why are you doing this?"
"While, I personally think that you are too beautiful to die and my life doesn't worth much, after all, I am a pauper. Why does a pretty rich lady wanting to commit suicide any way?"
"You don't understand, to many, this is a luxury cruise but for me, it is a slave ship, once I reach America I will be force to marry someone I don't love…"
"Is this worth your life, I am sure we can find a way out of this, come back onto the ship deck, I don't think I want to die so young…besides it is a long way down and the sea water seems pretty cold, we could freeze to death and be bloated corpse by the time someone find our bodies, we are in the regions of Antarctica."
Sasuke rubbed his neck, it was getting pretty sore from watching the screen at such an angle, and thus he decided to shift his position, he slide sideway along the couch to settle at the corner of the couch comfortably.
Naruto rubbed his tired eyes, the cool and dark atmosphere and his lack of sleep two nights before was slowly catching up on him. Maybe if he could just lie down a bit…
He slowly lower his body onto the couch…his neck was getting sore now…he shifted his head trying to find a more comfortable place…he found something warm, soft yet hard at the same time. He lifted his head onto the something, giving a sigh of satisfaction as the thing supporting his head gave his neck the perfect leverage to watch the movie at ease.
Jack was busy sharpening his pencil when he heard a person entering the room. Rose was wearing a dark blue robe, a beautiful piece of necklace, blue gem embedded in the middle of sliver, her engagement gift from the man she did not love, 'heart of the sea'.
"Tell me when you are ready…" Rose said softly, gazing at Jack.
"You can lie down on the couch."
Rose slipped the robe off her body, revealing her naked self to the blond man. The said man took deep breath, admiring the view before him, He blushed deeply realizing he was staring at her, he pointed at the couch, not trusting himself to be able to speak.
He let his gaze fell onto the naked body of the woman he loved and soon to be lover. Studying every tiny details and curves, he was soon engrossed in sketching the woman before her to notice anything else.
Naruto blushed deeply as the scene developed, even though the movie did not show the female naked body however…
It was a different matter for Sasuke, he was starting to get a little aroused.
Jack and Rose were standing on a metal piece, freefall down below, in the light of the sunset. Rose had her hands spread out, Jack hugging her from behind.
"Jack, I am flying!"
Jack smiled and encased her hands in his own, their gaze met and they kissed each other passionately.
Two very audible sighs were heard over the rain.
The ship had hit an iceberg. Everywhere was a chaos, most scrambling for their lives, while others accept their fate and had shut themselves with their loved ones in a room, eyes closed, fervently praying and whispering words of comfort to each other.
There was no doubt now that the ship would sink, as torrents of water rushed into the ship…
There were screams of horror as the ship broke into two sections, unable to withstand the weight and pressure of the water.
Naruto squeezed the thing he had his head on, tears slowly gathered in his eyes.
They were all in the deep icy sea at the mercy of the elements, except for those that did not went on the emergency boats or down with the ship, Titanic. Debris scattered throughout the surface of the sea as far as a person's sight could reach. A woman shuddered as another dead body brushed past her.
The woman known as Rose was lying on a wooden table, blue from the cold, she started to shake her boyfriend who had his body submerged in the icy water.
"Jack, do you think we will ever get rescue…Jack? Jack! Wake up, don't fall asleep…please…Jack, you promise that we will be together…Jack!"
Rose was shaking Jack harshly, tears running down her face, she did not want to believe, it was then Jack released his grip on the side of the wooden table, his face frozen in the perfect smile as he sank to the bottom of the sea, his white peaceful face forever etched in the mind of his lover.
"Jack!"
Somewhere at the back of her mind she remembered what Jack had said to her.
"Rose, we are going to be rescued, even if we can't be together, I want you to live on. You are a beautiful woman, I can only imagine you passing away when you are a 101 years old in a warm bed with a family of your own. Not here in this damn icy sea."
"I will live on…for Jack."
She swam to one of the dead sailors, obtaining a whistle from him. She spent all her last energy into blowing the whistle a desperate call for help.
Just when she was about to give up hope, the light of a life boat shone onto her.
Rose was the only one that survived the icy coffin.
She was back here now, at the site where Titanic had sank, standing on the railing.
She had kept her promise, she was now a 101 years old, a moment before sleeping in a warm bed, a caring family there for her. She clutched tightly to a piece of exquisite jewel, the blue gem sparkling in the night, the 'heart of the sea'.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and plunged into icy death to rejoin her lover.
Her soul passed through the shipwreck, which was slowly turning cleaner and newer, like the time before she sank on her maiden voyage. She realized she was in a familiar ball room, people from the past standing at her side, clapping as she walked up the walkway. There was the captain, the sailors, the women she met at the ball…
Standing at the top of the stairway was a man, he turned around, smiled and offered her his hand. She smiled as she took his hand and was immediately pulled into an embrace.
"Welcome back Rose."
"Jack…"
And they were engaged in a lip lock, the scene slowly fading into darkness.
The credits scrolled down the black screen.
Naruto could not hold his emotions at bay and was now crying, tears forming rivulets as they cascade down his face. He did not feel the comforting touches on his back, rubbing circles to soothe the blond man's nerves.
Naruto steadily fell into a deep sleep under the gentle touches, tears still staining his face, a pale hand reached forward and wiped the tears away carefully, palm caressing the whiskered cheek.
Sasuke stood up carefully, reaching for one of the cushions to place under Naruto's head. He stretched his body, hands massaging his numb thigh which had served as a pillow for the blond man.
He did not know that Naruto's head was in his lap until the end of the movie when he heard said man crying. He had to admit he was shock, he never noticed that he was that close to the blond in the first place and was flabbergasted when he took in Naruto vulnerable form. He gave a sigh, running a hand through his dark hair, the movie was nice and very sad, at least the couple ended up together after death.
He glanced at the clock to see that it was already 1 o'clock...
Naruto woke up, yawning before abruptly jumping up, taking a good stretch. He had a good sleep and was refreshed, ready for anything. Then he blushed, remembering vaguely that he had slept on Sasuke's lap, felt how warm Sasuke was, and even more embarrassing, he cried in from of his arch rival…maybe...just maybe...being friends with Uchiha may not be that bad after all...
Sasuke head towards the kitchen again to refilled his half full cup…or maybe it was an excuse to check up on Naruto, he really was cute when he was asleep…
The Uchiha walked across the living room to find that Naruto had awakened and was happily munching on the rice balls Sasuke made for lunch while singing a song.
He was pouring coffee into his cup when he heard what the blond was singing.
"There was once a big ship Titanic, sailing on the ocean blue. They say that the mighty ship could never ever sink…but the god of mighty hands, knew that the ship would sink in the end. So the big ship crashed into an iceberg and went down…
It was so sad…It was so sad…when the big ship went down to the bottom…when the husbands and the wives and the children lost their lives…It was so sad when the big ship went down… It was so sad when the big ship went down"
Sasuke stared at Naruto in amazement…that was interesting to say the least.
"That was interesting…" Sasuke commented coldly.
A nod was give.
"You cried…"
"It was sad…"
Silence reigned for a moment as they met each other gaze.
"Thanks… And don't think too much of it, it was for the rice balls!" Naruto replied a little too loud.
Sasuke gave a knowing smirk as Naruto looked away blushing.
"Ouch...damn..." Naruto cursed under his breath as he nursed his bleeding finger, wincing a little. He was preparing dinner, ramen,when he cut his finger with the kitchen knife, too distracted by the thoughts of Sasuke.
He had his finger under the running tap water when Sasuke held his hand firmly. Drying the finger, cleaning the woundand proceeded to bandage the injured area.
"Rest," Sasuke muttered.
"I am fine...really, you don't have to be worr-"
"I just don't want to end up consuming your blood or flesh for the matter."
"oh...hehe..."
"I am surprised that you managed not to cry as that is rather a nasty cut, after all you did shed buckets of tears over the movie."
"Those who pity themselves are pathetic. I don't want to be them."
Sasuke studied Naruto's serious face for a while, before leaving the kitchen for the blond man to continue cooking.
A/N: Hi everyone, the voting is over, I won, ha ha. Thanks for those participating in the voting.
By the way, the movie Titanic was real and it was actually based on a true accident. The ship Titanic was said to be invincible, that god itself was unable to sink the ship. However, the ship sank on her first voyage, causing the death of thousands. It was a tragedy, the movie had a deep impression in my mind, and I always cry buckets of tears when I watch it again many times.
Sorry for not updating soon enough, busy with holiday homework and my CCA. (Co-curriculum activities---in my case, Chinese orchestra.)
Thanks, I am out of my slump.
Please review and thanks once again.
Answer: 'I love Naruto very much and hope I will be able to confess to him soon.'
