Fight – Round 1
It was 1:30 am, Saturday morning. A still awake Sasuke was sitting on the couch while holding a coffee mug when he saw Naruto tiptoeing into the living room. He was at his fifth mug on his attempt to stay awake while waiting for the blonde. A big dark cloud was seen ghostly floating above his head with a sign of a rainstorm approaching at any moment.
"It's about time you got home, dobe." Sasuke said in his most cold voice tone ever.
Naruto's soul almost jumped out of his skin upon hearing that stern voice of Sasuke. He did not expect that Sasuke would still be awake by this hour. He spotted Sasuke sitting at the couch.
"Sasuke? You're still awake? Have you been waiting for me?" Naruto stood still trying to compose himself from swaying because of his drunken state.
Although he was in his worst mood ever, Sasuke managed to calm himself down. He crossed his legs and took a sip of his black pitch coffee.
"Have a sit, will you. I want to have a word with you." Sasuke calmly stated.
What the hell? In the middle of the night? "Hey! I just got home. Can we talk tomorrow? Don't you know what the word 'exhausted' mean?" Naruto snapped.
Yeah! Like you're also aware what that word means when you jumped me in the middle of the night the other day. "I can't wait till tomorrow. We've got to settle 'this' tonight and for all."
Naruto frowned. He still thinks he's the coolest dude in Konoha ehh … "What the heck are you talking about? Settle on what?"
"Things between us …" Somehow, Sasuke trailed off.
"Well … make it quick then. The bed is all I could think of right now." Naruto was not in the least bit interested.
Sasuke twitched. "Then, sit!"
"I can just stand … "
"I said, sit!" Sasuke was loosing his patient.
Naruto growled. Nonetheless, he obliged. He sat on a single couch next to Sasuke. With a proud face, he placed his both feet on the coffee table; his hands hanged low at each of his side while his head rested comfortably on the head of the couch. His eyes wandered over the ceiling.
"Make everything you ought to say in short. Otherwise I'll just doze off here ..." Naruto stated.
Sasuke furrowed. He could not believe the dobe was not in the least cared on what he was about to say. "You've been neglecting me …"
Naruto smirked. "Huh! Speak for yourself!"
Sasuke flinched. "What the hell do you mean?"
"You knew what I meant, teme!"
"No! For your info, I don't know what you meant. Would you be so kind to explain?"
"You started it first!"
"Started on what?"
"You … you …" Naruto hesitated on talking further. He glared at the brunette.
"Tell me, dobe … I started on what?"
"Being … unfaithful … to me .." The blonde gulped at his own words.
Me? Unfaithful to him? He's the one who's being unfaithful! "What the hell are you talking about, dobe?"
"You knew what I meant!"
"What the hell do you …" Sasuke froze. Shit! This isn't going anywhere!
They locked with each other's gazes as if trying to read each other's mind. Silentness surrounded the tense atmosphere.
"That GuyLover … " Sasuke broke the silent a while later. "Who is he?"
An expression of bewilderment and astonishment crossed Naruto's face. He stared at the brunette, but no words came out from his mouth.
Hah! Gotcha! You think you can hide forever, huh? "What's wrong dobe? Are you surprise that I got to know him?"
What the fuck! I've been searching for that GuyLover for a week and yet Sasuke had been talking to him all this while? "The hell I am! How did you know about him?
Sasuke snorted. He acted calm while sipping on his coffee. "How I know about him is not important right now. What really interests me, is your relationship with him …"
Naruto furrowed. What the hell is he talking about? He's been acting weird the whole week and tonight is the weirdest! "What relationship? What had he told you?"
"That you two have been seeing each other for quite sometime now and … have been sleeping together too …"
That's it! "What the fucking hell are you talking about, teme?" Naruto raised his voice. He stomped his feet at the edge of the coffee table as if trying to snap the brunette into reality.
Sasuke did not answer and carefully put his mug down. He then lifted his both feet up and placed them on the table. One could play proud too.
"Ne … teme … Do you have to take that long to answer my questions? Or do I have to repeat them?" Naruto snorted. "You don't have to put your words in order. Just spit it out, damn it!"
"Will you quit with your dumbness already! Why don't you just CONFESS?" Sasuke yelled.
"There's nothing to confess about!" Naruto yelled back.
"Yes, there is! That GuyLover has already confessed. And now it's YOUR turn!"
Naruto shook his head. "What's wrong with you, Sasuke? You're accusing me on something I didn't do? Don't you have faith in me? You'd rather believe in a stranger who's barely known to you?" Naruto's heart sunk. He was not in his drunken state anymore as furiousness had taken over his mind.
Silentness backed on surrounding them. Naruto locked his stare at the brunette while the other threw his gaze to the TV in front, unsure on how to react to the blonde's words.
Naruto dropped his both feet to the floor. He then placed his both elbows on each side of his knees while his gaze darted on the floor.
"How long have you been 'talking' to this GuyLover, Sasuke?" Naruto's voice sounded deep in his throat.
"That's not important … What I want to know is …"
"I said, how long have you been talking to him?" Naruto cut off Sasuke's words sternly. "Just answer that damn question!"
"About a week ago …" Sasuke replied. He stole a glance over his lover who had this kind of murderous look on his face.
"And do you know who that guy really is …?"
"I don't know. You tell me …"
Naruto sighed. So that 'guy' had targeted Sasuke too.
"Naruto! You don't have to hide from me. If you're thinking of leaving me, just say so. You don't have to have a secret affair behind my back."
There he goes again! "I've nothing to hide from you! That damn GuyLover was someone who's been haunting me since a month ago …" Naruto trailed off.
"Oh really?" Lopsided smile formed on Sasuke's lips. "Why you never tell me, then?"
"I thought he was just a dream or perhaps someone on the net trying to screw other people's mind. And a week ago, I happened to chat with him again for the second time; that was on the night when you're back from your outstation. He claimed that he's some kind of a ghost …"
Sasuke let out a small laugh. "You expect me to believe that?"
Naruto glared at his lover in disbelief. "I didn't expect you to believe in 'him' or the ghost but in ME …!"
Sasuke averted his attention to the blonde. He smirked. "I don't know who to believe in anymore …"
They locked with each other's gazes once more.
I can't believe this! Sasuke is doubting me? Something crossed Naruto's mind.
"Sasuke … I thought I don't wanna have this kind of thinking in my mind but my brain just happens to caught on something. Are you the one who's been thinking of leaving me?"
Sasuke furrowed, narrowing his eyes over the blonde's statement. He's now accusing me in return? "Are you trying to change the subject, dobe? If you are, that still doesn't change the fact that you're having an affair with someone else."
"Just quit with your fucking damn accuses already! If you want me to leave, just say so!" Naruto was at his limit.
"Then just leave! Take your fucking damn ass out of here! Out of my house!"
Naruto hitched. Astonished. Bewildered. Shocked.
But Sasuke was twice as shocked. What the fuck! What the hell am I saying? This wasn't suppose to coming out of my mouth!
Naruto felt as if his heart stopped pounding. The world around him was sinking. He studied the other's expression trying to find any sign of joke. Only coldness was seen on the brunette's face.
"Do … you … really think … that way …?" Naruto choked on his words. He felt as if he was breathing poison gas. "Do you … really want me … to go?'
"Yes! In fact, I want you leave the soonest as possible …!" Why am I saying these? This is against my will! Sasuke had thought. He did not know why but those harsh words just came out from his mouth as if some forces were controlling him. "Let me remind you. This is my house! I bought it under my name, if you've forgotten that. I invited you here to live with me and I can chase you out whenever I wanted to. I'm sure you would understand that."
Oh god! Oh my god! What is happening to me? Sasuke saw the look on Naruto's face which shows someone who was about to cry.
Sasuke? Are you serious? Do you really want me to leave? Droplet of tears fall from each corner of Naruto's eyes. He gulped couple of times to conceal his sob.
Sasuke had noticed this. "I think our relationship ends here!" NO! Naruto! Don't believe in me … I mean, don't believe in what I just said. It's a lie! I didn't mean it!
Naruto could not help it. His tears slowly flowed down his cheek. "Is this … what you really want? You're tired of me and now you're getting rid of me …"
"I don't have to repeat myself twice, dobe …" Sasuke sarcastically stated. Aaaarrgghh! Don't listen to me, Naruto! I don't know what the hell is happening to me, but please! Please don't listen to me! Sasuke was screaming as hell inside.
"So our relationship ends here. I understand now …" Naruto's tears did not stop from flowing and that really broke Sasuke's heart. "If that's really what you have wanted, then I'll go. Thanks for being straight with me and … thanks for everything …"
Naruto stood up. He locked his gaze at the brunette with a very meaningful look. Seconds later, he turned away towards the door.
Sasuke still did not budge from his position. That strange forces had took control of him completely. His inner self screamed. Naruto! Wait! Wait! No! DON'T GO! Please DON'T GO!
Before stepping out of the door, Naruto paused for a moment. He turned and stared at Sasuke for the last time. His heart was really hurt by the brunette's decision. To think that they have been together for almost seven months now and it all ended in just one night. What had hurt him the most was Sasuke had rather believed in one stupid damn stranger than to himself. Good bye, Sasuke …
Having seen the look on Naruto's face, Sasuke's heart sunk even deeper. But he could not do anything. He could not even move an inch neither to say a word. And if he was saying anything, it was not really from his heart. Someone or rather something was talking on his behalf. Or maybe Naruto's was right. There's a ghost amongst them!
Naruto had finally disappeared behind the closed door.
Sasuke inner self cried. Come back, Naruto! Please … please … come back to me! I love you! I love you so much! I don't want to loose you! Think of what we've been through together! Forgive me for what I've said, but please come back to me!
Suddenly, Sasuke was startled by an evil laugh that echoed through his very mind. "Hahah … he can't hear you now. He can never hear you. Well … just forget about him. He's gone now. And he's all mine … all mine … muahahahah!"
Sasuke jerked as that strange forces released his body. But he was too weak to move. His vision blurred. He then passed out a while later.
Outside, Naruto was riding his bike throughout the night. His tears had long dried. He could not think of what may become in future cause right now he was thinking on where he should be heading to.
"Hmmm … where shall I go from here …"
