Title: In the Dead of the Night
Author: graveyardgirl15
Pairings: (Nascent) SasuNaru and perhaps traces of others
Warnings: shounen-ai, language, dark theme, slight sappiness, character OOCs and extreme angst on certain periods. If you don't like poems, better skip the prologue, though it's better if you don't because you'll be missing a crucial part of the story.
Notes: This fic is going to be a multi-chapter one as planned. I've been thinking of writing an AU for a change and I'm trying my luck with a Naruto creation. You'll notice the first parts (please bear with me in the prologue) are quite confusing and chars are sometimes OOC. Pardon me for that, I'll fix it later on. As usual, thoughts are italicized and you should watch out for the italicized and capitalized words in dialogues because they mean a lot. Hope you enjoy! Please R&R every chapter so that I'll know if I still need to continue this one or just leave it to fade completely seeing that it isn't successful in catching anyone's attention.
Disclaimer: I don't own nor will I ever own Naruto or any of its characters.

In the Dead of the Night

Chapter One: Prologue
Dark clouds obscure the once blue heavens
As crimson rain starts to fall from the sky
The sadness of his voice is drowned by the waters
And crystals flowing freely as he sulks nearby
--
Listen to me, I need you to hear me,
Listen to me, I don't want you to tell me
Listen to me, I need you to feel me,
Listen to me, I don't want you to free me.
--
The distance of his embrace sends shivers on my skin
Though at times I wonder if all had been a dream
So real, so true, have been my feelings for you
Yet you move away from me as if you don't have a clue.
--
Please don't pain me; I know you are already hurting,
Please don't pity me; it's not like you to give mercy,
Please don't leave me; I know your heart is already aching
Please don't ignore me; it's not like you to take it easy.
--
Why must we end up this way, why?
I've shown my true love for you, haven't I?
But your heart was stubborn from the very beginning
And keeping it for me alone was a desperate yearning.
--
Aren't you tired, just gazing up at the skies?
Aren't you tired, waiting for nothing but cries?
Aren't you happy I'm with you and with you alone?
Aren't you happy I have given you, something like a home?
--
Crimson rain pours down cruelly without any care
As it slowly wets my skin and damps my hair
Scarlet pierces me just like what your eyes did to me
And yes I long for them again, I long to see thee.
--
You will not leave me alone, no you will not
You will not curse me into oblivion, no you will not
You will not despise me forever, no you will not
You will not ignore my love, no you will not.
--
I'll keep on following you wherever you go
I don't care what they say, even if I stoop so low.
You can never run away from me, although you try
So stop my Sasuke, stop saying goodbye.
---
Sunlight creeps inside my windows as I open my eyes
Forcing me to smile, something I can't deny
The love I've been dreaming which now I have found
Is nestled closely beside me without making a sound.
--
I couldn't believe what I am seeing
I couldn't believe it is here
I couldn't believe this alive being
I couldn't believe he is real.
--
How ironic it seems that he now belongs to me
When years before he just ignores me like a tree
Those years were bitter, hopeless they had been
Since my love went unnoticed, or so it seemed.
--
I didn't lose hope, though you took me for granted.
I didn't lose hope, though you showed you didn't care.
I didn't lose hope, though you only saw me as a friend.
I didn't lose hope, though you saw someone better.
--
One day with crimson face, you walked towards me
That emotion I never dreamed in my life I would see
I knew that only to her did you reserve that blush
And not to me, not at all: I was never your crush.
--
Walking closer, I couldn't suppress a smile,
Walking closer, I couldn't stop a flush,
Walking closer, I couldn't help but ask
Walking closer, I couldn't meet your cerulean eyes.
--
We looked stupid that time as we gazed at each other,
I just smiled and nodded, couldn't think of anything further
Until you broke the silence with your unbelievable words
"Gods I love you, and you don't know how much that hurts."
--
Yes it hurts, to have been waiting for so long,
Yes it hurts, for in the end you decided to come,
Yes it hurts, seeing now you want nothing but me
Yes it hurts, to know that you really did notice me.
--
We've been growing stronger as days and weeks pass by,
I've been doing my best so that 'leaving', you wouldn't even try
You've given me love, just as I have given you
So please stay with me forever, my Naruto.
