Title: Sinking But No One Helping

Summery: Sasuke is all alone, and is spiraling down a tunnel of depression, loneliness and self hate. It's up to Naruto to take him out of it. Yaoi, NaruSasu.

Warning: Yaoi. Don't like don't read

Speaking "Dun Dun Dun"

Thinking 'Ding Ding Ding'

Sasuke's P.O.V

Everything is so quiet, peaceful.

Am I dead? Is this what the Afterworld is like?

But where's Mother? And Father? And the rest of the Clan? Shouldn't they all be here? To greet me, to welcome me?

I'm home aren't I? I'm finally home, with my family, and my Clan.

So where is everyone?

Why isn't anyone welcoming me?

"Sasuke!"

Ah, there they are. I can hear someone. But…that doesn't sound like mother, or father, or anyone else from the Clan.

"Sasuke! Wake up!"

Huh? What do they mean, 'Wake up?' I'm awake, aren't I?

Why am I shaking? And what's this watery stuff that just fell on me? It tastes salty.

Am I crying? No, my eyes are dry. Then who?

Wait, what's happening? Where am I going? I don't want to go, why's my little world going away? Come back!

Why's it so bright? Why am I lying in a bed?

I crack one eye open and I'm enveloped in a sea of white and blue.

Where am I? Who's that on the bed?

I open both eyes now, trying to see who it is.

"Huh? W…Where am I?"

Suddenly I'm nearly suffocated as someone hugs me tightly, as more of that salty water, tears, go on my face.

"I'm so glad your okay! God, I don't know what I'd do if you'd have died!"

That sounds like Naruto. But, that can't be right, what is he doing here? And why is he so worried?

Naruto moved back from me, so that I could see him and I gasped at what I saw. Naruto was there alright, his hair was all messy, and his eyes were all red and puffy, with tear stains all over his face.

Immediately I felt guilty for putting him through all that, just for me. But…I didn't think he'd be that worried, I mean sure he'd shed a few tears, but that much? He was really worried for me…

"Shush, don't cry." I tell him, seeing as he'd started crying again.

"You Bastard! How dare you! How dare you try to do something as disgusting as that!"

He… he thinks I'm disgusting? Thinks what I did was disgusting? But… it wasn't. It was bliss. He can't think I'm disgusting!

I'm not. I'm not disguising!

"I'm not disgusting."

"Why did you do it? Huh? Why did you try killing yourself?" Naruto asked me, slightly calmer now.

What can I say to that? That I was fed up of life and wanted to end my life, mainly because you didn't love me?

I can't say that, it'd only push you farther away from me.

"I…I can't tell you."

"Why? Why can't you tell me? You never tell me anything!"

"H…Have you told anyone?" I hope he hasn't, I don't think I'd be able to live with that. With everyone knowing…

"No I haven't, but I've a right mind to tell!"

"NO!" I panicked, "You can't tell! You can't tell ANYONE!"

"I won't tell then Sasuke, on one condition."

"Fine! What is it? I'll do it!"

"You have to promise not to ever do that again, to ever hurt or even kill yourself. Okay? And you have to promise that you'll tell me why you did it, maybe not today, but someday, you have to tell me. Okay?"

I thought hard on that. I know for a fact that I'll never try killing myself, at least not any time soon, not after I've seen how much pain I've put Naruto in, I haven't the heart to do that to my poor Naruto. But…I don't want to tell him, I don't think I'll be able to tell him the real reason as to why I tried ending my life.

But…I don't have to tell him now, do I? He said someday, not today.

"F…Fine. I promise I won't try killing myself, and that I'll tell you why I did it when I'm comfortable telling you. Okay?"

"Yea." And with that, Naruto started hugging me again, crying into my hair. Slowly, mindful of my wrist, which I noticed had been bandaged -probably by Naruto- I wrapped my arms around him in a hug.

"Don't ever do that again. You had me so 'hiccup' worried! I thought you might not have made it; you gave me such a scare!"

I listened to him, not speaking a word, as I fell ashamed of myself for putting him through all that pain.

I pulled Naruto closer to me, and promised myself to never put you through all that pain again. And that, Naruto, is a promise I intend to keep.
