Notes: The "dying" near the end of this drabble is in reference to Sasuke's "death" in the Haku arc.
"What do you mean, you don't have a home?"
I hate it when this happens…
"How the hell can you understand how I feel? You have him."
I hate it when we start fighting--
"It's not like he raised me or anything! I was alone too, you know!"
--over things that shouldn't matter.
"Yeah, whatever."
How do the arguments start?
"Look, you bastard, at least you had a home; a family."
And why do they always feel…
"You try having your family killed by your own brother! You shut the fuck up, right now!"
…twice as painful when I start them?
"It's not like I can relate with you there! I didn't have a home or a family to miss!"
While we fight, I think of how to apologize later.
"Fuck you, Uzumaki! You don't care about anything but yourself!"
It's almost automatic now; the arguments, they seem…
"Got a problem with that? No one else cared! Everyone wanted me dead! Try living with that one, Uchiha!"
…mechanical.
"What if someone did care? Then what would you do if you watched them die in front of your eyes?"
Maybe one day, I can break out of this cycle…
"…I already have. Or…did you forget?"
Maybe one day, I can stop hurting you…
"…"
