Naruto had always wondered where his father went during the day. Whenever he asked the man, he would always answer "I go to work."
Sasuke had always wondered where his older brother went during the night. Whenever he asked him, he would always say "I have to go to work"
Naruto never saw his father whom he had inherited his yellow as the sun hair and blue as sky on a clear day eyes. Whenever Naruto woke up to go to school, his father wasn't there unlike all the other children's fathers who would be there to tell their sons and daughters good morning, breakfast already made for them on the table by their mothers. But Naruto didn't have a mother and he had a father who was never there. At night, though, around the time the moon would barely start to light the sky and street lights flickered on to help illuminate the night, his father entered their small one room apartment, dragging his feet across the carpet. Naruto would ask if he wanted to play and he would always answer "Not now, I'm too tired."
He would then enter his and Naruto's room, and close the door behind him.
Sasuke never saw his brother whom he shared with dark as night hair and equally dark eyes. Whenever Sasuke would wake up to go to school, he always walked across the hall to his brother's room, only to always find him fast asleep. He would try to wake him up, telling him if he could give him a ride to school or if he wanted any breakfast (for Sasuke always did the cooking) and his brother would always say "I'm sorry Sasuke, I'm too tired." Sasuke would then make breakfast for one since he had no parents and the only family he did have was asleep upstairs. When he got home from school, which was usually around the time the sun was set and the moon had just barely rose for Sasuke had many after school activities he attended to, his brother was nowhere to be seen.
On the kitchen table there would always be a note that said "Be back tomorrow"
There were days when Naruto's father would come home later than usual but there were others where he would come earlier. Naruto was glad when his dad came earlier because he did not seem that tired on those days and he would have enough energy to sit down on the small couch in their living room and talk to Naruto. Those wouldn't last long though for sooner or later his farther would fall asleep midsentence and Naruto would lay him down properly on the couch and bring him a blanket to keep him warm.
Though the time was little, Naruto still loved and looked forward to those talks.
There were days when Sasuke's brother would be home when Sasuke came home from school, up and awake and ready to greet Sasuke home. Those days were one of the few times Sasuke would smile and laugh. Him and his brother would sit at the kitchen table and talk about everything. Throughout the conversation though, his brother would every now and then look out the window. What he was looking for or at Sasuke didn't know. Then when the sun was just below the horizon and it was about time for the moon to rise, his brother would say "I'm sorry Sasuke but i have to leave now." Sasuke would nod, though reluctantly, and watch his brother walk out the door.
A few moments later, he would see the moon shining in the sky.
It was by chance, or maybe fate, that Sasuke and Naruto met. It had been a day when the sun set and moon rose earlier than most days. Naruto had been hurrying to get home after buying groceries and in his hurry crashed into Sasuke. At first, they were both hostile towards each other, yelling how the other should watch out where they are going and to whose fault it was. Naruto stomped away, and Sasuke gladly thought how he would never see Naruto again.
The next day, they saw each other walking in the hallways of their school.
There were days when Sasuke's brother was home all day. These days were Sasuke's favorite days. Though his brother would still sleep all day, he would wake up when night came and spend time with Sasuke. They never went anywhere but that didn't matter to Sasuke so long as his older brother was there.
Sasuke had only noticed that these days were the days when the night sky had no moon.
It was strange how Sasuke and Naruto had become friends. They both had little friends at school but for different reasons. No one seemed to like Naruto and Sasuke seemed to like no one. It had started when they found out they went to the same school, Konoha Elementary. They soon found out how alike they were. Both had family members that were never there, only for a few occasional times. They spoke about possibilities to where their brother and father might be going all day and all night. The predictions always seemed to end up with both brother and father doing something heroic or supernatural.
In Naruto's dreams his father was his worlds Superman and Sasuke dreamt his brother was his worlds Batman.
There was a day when Naruto's father came home with a few bruises and cuts sporting his face and body. Naruto immediately ran to him and helped him sit down. He asked and asked what had happened to his father but every time his father would just shake his head. Naruto had then gotten the first aid kit and healed his fathers wound as best as he could. when he was done, his father told him "It was done by an associate of mine"
The next day Sasuke told Naruto there was an eclipse.
There was a day when Sasuke's brother was actually awake by the time Sasuke woke up to go to school. He saw as his brother grabbed an apple and began eating it on his way out the door. The last thing he heard was "I'll be back in a while." Sasuke didn't go to school that day, waiting for his brother to come home and when he did, he was hurt and cut and bruised all over. Sasuke immediately grabbed the first aid kit to help his brother and patiently waited for him to tell him who did it. "It was someone I work with" he finally said.
Sasuke saw on the news that day that there was an eclipse and cursed that he missed it.
ok this is the first part. Some parts might not make sense but i just wrote this for fun. Second part will be out in a while. There are only 2 parts.
