little bit better

check out the first 2 chapters of my new story which is called fragile like glass or ice (victuuri) on my wattpad account Nalu_always_

Enjoy!!

Third person POV

Sasuke watches Naruto whilst he's helping tazuna with the bridge, he seems to be doing that alot recently catching glimpses of him when he's not looking at every opportunity.

Sasuke POV

I can't stop myself he's changed alot since everything happened with sakura on the bridge, I like this version of him better maybe it's because he no longer hides himself under a fake mask of happiness I feel like i can now relate to his sorrows. I'll tell him soon, how I feel I just hope I'm not rejected I don't want to lose what we have, he's probably straight anyway so maybe it's not the best idea...

Naruto POV

It feels better without this forces persona I had it's like a weight has been lifted and I hate to admit it but Sasuke is a big part of that. He gave me a shoulder to cry upon... twice he didn't need to be but he was there for me when nobody else was. I've told him things that nobody else knows. My feelings have been changing for a while now, about him the way I see him it's different. Maybe I should tell him... Maybe not it could change things and I don't want to be rejected, I can't handle anything else right now. And so a new mask appears.

"Hey dobe... Naruto?"

"Huh, y-yeah?"

"Just making sure you were still in there." He says with a smirk.

"Tsk of course I am teme."

"So what's on your mind to have you wonder off like that?"

"Nothing just thinking of the last week that's all, alot has changed for me since the incident on the bridge with sakura, what did I ever do to her?"

"Nauto you did nothing wrong to sakura, she's just that kind of person and if she carries on she will have nobody left especially this team, and I agree that alot has changed but not just for you. We impact on one another... th-that's why it broke me up so much to hear about what you've had to endure in your life I'm with you Naruto."

"Thanks teme really you have no idea how much both of them times meant to me but please anything but pitty, it makes me feel weak."

"Naruto uzamaki you are anything but weak and it isn't pitty it's pride, I am proud to have you on our team."

By this point the tears are already brimming at my eyes begging for release.

"Hey Sasuke, tell me why did you give up on being an avenger?"

He stiffened shit i shouldn't have asked or said anything.

"After everything he's still my blood I don't think I could even if I did want to and, I found out the truth to my clans massacre and it wasn't his fault."

"I'm glad, that means you still have family who care for you."

"Yeah I guess your right, it's funny everyone always calls me the last uchiha but what my brother did, he did for this village to protect it and they don't even know."

"Maybe when we get back you should tell everyone."

"I can't I'm not allowed it's an s class secret I have to keep to myself."

"I hate s class secrets that you have to keep to your self it just makes you lonely."

"The kyuubi?"

"Yep, s class secret and the reason I'm so hated."

"It may not seem like it but you do have people around you who care."

"I know there's a select few who do, I just hate the fact that I finally had someone who helped me so much and now they're gone all because I couldn't do my part in protecting him."

"Naruto, jiraiya's death was not your fault it was orochimaru's fault he is the only blame."

*sigh*

"The next time I see him he's dead, he took away the last of my family. I won't let him survive when I am done with him he will beg for death."

I was speechless Naruto isn't suppose to go down this dark path as I almost did even if he kills orochimaru he still loses.

"Naruto please don't set your heart to revenge it never ends well."

"This world will be a better place without him in it, I'm not saying I'm going to hunt him down I'm just saying the next time our paths cross he won't get out of it alive. I'm not going to turn to darkness Sasuke it's not me."

I sigh in relief.

"Then let me help you, he is still after me."

"Thank you Sasuke."

"No problem dobe."

"Teme I could beat you with my eyes closed."

"At this moment in time I have no doubt that you could." Sasuke smiles warmly at Naruto a smile no one else will see.

The gap between them starts to close...

Cliffhanger, don't hate me, do you think they should get together in the next chapter or shall I draw it out a bit... Don t forget to let me know what you think
