Hello everyone! This isn't like a regular chapter today but I will update one of them soon but I do hope you all enjoy this one as well! Sasuke is having a very vivid dream, full of nothing but symbolism. I hope to hear what you guys think! Lemme know! And thank you to everyone who reads!
When Sasuke opens his eyes, all he sees is white, and with a quick look to the right and left, still, all he sees is pure white. He can't even make out where the floor ends and the walls begin.
He raises up into a sitting position and he feels something tickle his neck, he looks down and sees a piece of cloth hanging there, it's clear, he runs his hand up the fabric to find the other end, but he comes up and over his eyes like a blind-fold.
Sasuke gasps and tries taking it off but it doesn't budge, why does he have a see through blind-fold on? And who put it on him?
Sasuke stands and looks down at his attire, he is wearing his favorite brown hoodie and his baggy blue jeans and converse, when did he put these on? He remembers wearing his pajamas last, he thinks.
He shrugs and decides to go look for someone else, maybe he can figure out something, his minds feels fuzzy, like he can't remember much of anything.
He sighs and rubs his face and feels something hard rub against him, he pulls his hand back quickly and pulls the sleeve of his hoodie up his arm, he sees a handcuff. He then pulls up the other sleeve and see another one but they are not connected, they are broken from each other and as he takes a closer look, he sees that his arms have hundreds of scars, Sasuke gasps from the surprise, he looks at both arms and then his torso and then every other part of skin he can see; there are scars everywhere.
He can feel tears approaching quickly, he is pretty freaked out but he decides to keep moving and hopefully figure out this mess, so he pushes down the tears and continues to walk in the direction he thinks is forward.
After what feels like an eternity to Sasuke, he finally sees another person in the distance and as he continues to walk forward, what starts to come into view, is bright blond hair and a bright orange hoodie.
Sasuke's eyes widen in realization, his breath hitches and he lets out the biggest, brightest and most loving smile to ever grace someone's face, and then he runs.
Sasuke takes off quicker than lightning as he tries to quickly reach the person his loves so dearly.
The closer he gets, the more he sees Naruto and the quicker he makes his body run, but before getting to him he runs smack into something.
Sasuke falls to the ground holding his throbbing face, while he also tries to take in more oxygen to his stinging lungs but he forces his watery eyes to look up anyway to see what on earth he bumped into, but, he sees nothing, nothing but the bright-haired boy a few feet away.
So he stands and he cautiously sticks his arm out in front of him and his arm barely makes it a few inches before in comes in contact with something. Sasuke puts his other hand on the thing stopping him from getting closer to Naruto and as he runs his hands up and down, left and right, he realizes that it is an invisible wall.
He chokes in a breath with the realization at not being able to make it to Naruto, but Sasuke doesn't wanna give up, so he looks at Naruto and begins banging loudly on the wall as he hollers but Naruto doesn't pay no mind, so Sasuke just starts watching him, hoping he'll look over his way but he just sees Naruto stomping in a bed of flowers and he notices that the only flower he is stomping on is the blue tulips. Sasuke just watches without any understanding but for some reason, he feels pain at watching Naruto stomp on these beautiful flowers so he starts banging again and asking Naruto to stop.
All of a sudden, Sasuke sees a girl with no face walking up to Naruto, the banging immediately quits as Sasuke stands frozen with fear from the unusual girl, but Naruto smiles at her like nothing is wrong and he wraps his arms around her and she too, wraps her arms around him and then they begin talking. Sasuke sees Naruto talking, even though he can hear no sound, and the girl's body language makes it look as if she is talking but yet, she has no face, no mouth.
Before Sasuke realizes what's happening, he feels water fall down his cheeks, he reaches up and touches his cheek and realizes, they are his tears.
When he looks up again, Naruto has his arm around her shoulders and they walk off in the opposite direction of Sasuke. He begins to bang on the wall again, knowing that they probably can't hear him, but he doesn't stop until he can no longer see them, until he barely has a voice, and that's when the banging dies and that's when the flood is released.
Through Sasuke's chocked sobs, he opens his red, puffy eyes, hoping to see Naruto again but instead of Naruto, he is graced with a disturbing view, his own left hand is gone. He sees the skin particles flying off, left and right and disappearing into the white background.
Sasuke falls backwards onto the ground screaming, begging for help, letting out desperate sobs for Naruto as his body slowly breaks down and fades away.
As Sasuke cries, his tears too, disappear into thin air as if they never existed.
But he doesn't stop crying, he just sits against the wall, his head between his knees as the disappearing tears continues to flow. Sasuke just cries and waits, waiting for his whole body, his whole being to quietly fade away, and he thinks, as he fades away, Naruto is gone, off with someone else, not even thinking of Sasuke.
Sasuke eventually stops crying and is just waiting, waiting for the death that is coming because he no longer cares, he just wants to give up and so that's what he did, he broke down and gave up. He sits alone in this quiet, white room, thinking about someone who is not thinking about him, worrying about someone who is not worried about him, waiting for someone who is not coming, loving someone who doesn't love him back.
And as he sits there, his body see through, his soul on the verging of dying, he feels something so very warm on his shoulder and he looks up to see where such warmth came from, and he sees a bright, bright smile coming from Shikamaru.
Shikamaru holds his hand to Sasuke, "Come."
Sasuke looks down, as his bites on his bottom lip, "I can't...I have no arms."
Shikamaru smiles even more and leans down, grabbing Sasuke's hands, "Look."
Sasuke looks at his hands and then rubs up and down his no longer see through body and smiles as happy tears start flowing, and then he looks at Shikamaru and smiles and he grabs his hand.
