Today is going to be like any other day.

I'm going to wake up in my too-large and cold bed, and contemplate getting a new one...

But then I'll remember that this was the bed my father helped carved so I stop my wandering complaints and keep it.

I'm going to walk in my cat like grace across my spacious room, and open my closet to see the many clothes waiting for me there, I then wonder if I could throw some of them out.

But then I remember how long my mother spent on making them, and so they shall forever stay in the closet.

I'm going to cross through the empty living room and enter the master kitchen and ponder if I should get a smaller house.

But then I'll remember how my ancestors built this home with their bare hands and I suddenly find it an adequate size.

I'm going to eat my plain meal of juice and bagel and then gather my gear together for early training, I then stop to think if extra training is really necessary.

But then I remember how close you are to catching up and I find myself training harder than usual.

I'm going to head to the training grounds and wait the half hour for Sakura and yourself to arrive, I then question why I come so early when Kakashi- sensei never comes here on time.

But then I remember that I have my reputation to keep, and so I come ten minutes earlier than normal.

I'm going to ignore all of Sakura's advances and wait for that late lame ass teacher to get here, I then ask myself why I don't go over and sit next to you.

But then I remember that I have an act to keep up and so stay where I am.

I'm going to train and spar with you and try my hardest to put you beneath me, my whole body nearly freezes when I think of giving you compliments and/or suggestions.

But then I remember how insulted you'll get, so I do the bright thing and keep my mouth shut.

I'm going to follow you home and watch you get ready for bed and all the while I'm silently contemplating sneaking into your room just to worship your adorable body.

But then I remember that I'm the great Uchiha Sasuke, and that I have an image to uphold.

And though you hid it well, you can't keep it locked up forever. You'll slip up somehow like you did yesterday, and you're damn well lucky it was only I who followed you.

But I honestly hope, deep down in my heart that you never gather the courage. That you never come to me and say all those sweet things you do while practicing to your pillow...

Because I know I'll push you away, and I know I'll make you cry.

It tears at my heart knowing that will be the outcome, and it kills me inside knowing I'd give you that pain.

And for a moment I daydream of us being together, body mind and soul. Living a beautiful life full of love and trust...

But then I remember that I am Sasuke, and that I am an avenger to my clan, and then I wash the dreams away and cry silently in the cold reality as I angst on things that could never be...

"I love you too Naruto-koi..."

It's all I can give you, and it's all you may ever get. I can't see into the future, but I know what my conscious tells me, and it says that I'll never be able to make you happy.

And in that moment I wonder if maybe I'm overreacting...

But then I remember how lovely and calm you look and I don't want to take that away.

"So I'll just watch..."

"And get nowhere closer to peace of mind..."

^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^

Oh~! Who is the mystery person now?!

I blame this on all you people that kept asking me for Sasuke's side of the story! Damn you all, you guys just turned this into a story!

Kimajime: A story with a plot brewing~!

u_u I just wanted this to be a one shot... *whimpers* and then Kimajime and Jekoi started whispering plot ideas in my ears...

Jekoi: In other words... whether this fic ends here or continues on into a chapter length story is all up to a readers reply! ^.~
