Disclaimer: I don't know where to put this so I'll put it here. I don't own Naruto and I don't own the title either. It's a saying I found on Myspace which I also don't own.

Naruto sat in the taxi silent as he watched the drops of rain slip down the window. He was going to the adoption/foster home where he would never return to his abusive father who killed his mother earlier that day and then killed himself. Naruto couldn't speak. He couldn't cry, move, anything. All he could do was stare out the window, his eyes bleeding inside from the sight he just saw.

He arrived at the home and was ushered into a smalll room with two desks with a chair pushed under each, two chester drawers, and a bunkbed with the walls around the bottom one covered in posters. He got on the top bed and just sat there, curled up in a ball with his face pushed down into his knees and his arms wrapped around his legs. He sat there and suddenly, tears streaked down his face. He cried and cried.

"Hey loser," he heard coming from the doorway.

He picked his head up but turned it quickly so the boy wouldn't see him crying even though it was already obvious. "What do you want?"

"You Naruto. I'm Sasuke. I'll be your roommate. Don't touch my stuff, don't talk to me, and leave me alone, got it?"

"What's your problem-" Naruto started to say while he turned his head torwards the boy but stopped as he met his eyes. He was so perfect. It was like he was a fallen angel.

Sasuke stared into his eyes. The blonde, blue-eyed boy infront of him was so beautiful. He wanted to look away but his eyes were locked. His heart shattered as he saw such a beautiful face so sad and streaked with tears.

Naruto broke their stare and hid his face, wiping it with the blanket.

Sasuke shook his head slightly and sat on his own bed. "I'm... Sorry. I... didn't mean to be... that way. Come... down here and.. sit. Tell me... why your here," he stuttered nervously.

Naruto stepped down the ladder and sat on the other endof the bed, blushing furiously. He stopped crying and managed to talk some more. "My stupid ass of a father came home drunk again last night at 1:00 A.M. and started to hit my mother and me like always but this time he started to go too far. He left the room and went into his bedroom. My mom told me to go hide so I went under my bed. I watched my dad come back into the room with a gun and he... he..." Naruto broke into tears before he could go on any longer.

Sasuke moved over next to him and wrapped him in his arms on instinct. He couldn't let go. He's never been emotional in any way until now. It's almost like this blue-eyed beauty that he was wrapped around melted the iceberg his heart was trapped in. "Shh... You don't have to say anymore. It's okay. He'll never hurt you again," Sasuke whispered in Naruto's ear.

Naruto cried and cried. He was so scared but in Sasuke's arms, he felt like the world was so safe. "Sasuke... I've known you for five minutes," he said between sobs, " yet I feel like I've known you my whole life." He chuckled a little. "Stupid, right?"

"No," Sasuke said, tightening his grip. "I... feel it too." Sasuke thought to himself. What's this feeling? My heart racing... My palms sweaty... Is this... Is this...

Naruto slowly stopped crying but didn't wipe the tears away. Sasuke did it for him. Naruto thought to himself. What's this feeling? My heart racing... My palms sweaty... Is this... Is this...

...Love?

Naruto looked up and their eyes met. They were stuck again. They didn't budge for a few seconds. Yet to them, the seconds felt like hours. Naruto slowly melted into the black obiss of his eyes, so filled with sorrow. The opened up and sucked him in.

Sasuke's thoughts melted away. He was completely frozen. Naruto's light blue eyes were so beautiful but they were tainted with the sight he just described. Sasuke's heart shattered even more as he looked deep into the sadness the held.

They broke their stare but this time it wasn't Naruto that did it, it was the announcement over the intercom that dinner was ready. "We should go eat," Sasuke said, letting go slowly and getting up. "Are you coming?"

Naruto shook his head side to side, signalling no and went to the top bed. He curled up into a ball again but fell to his side this time, shaking a little.

Sasuke nodded and headed out the door but before he could leave, Naruto stopped him. "Sasuke," Naruto said.

"What is it?"

"Why are you here?"

"... My mother and father already had a child and didn't want another. Father was against abortion and he always caught my mother everytime she tried to kill herself with me inside her so I was born but I shouldn't have been. I was a mistake." Before Sasuke could even blink Naruto was right up in his face.

"Don't you ever say that!" Naruto screamed. "You were never a mistake. Never!"

The words almost brought tears to his eyes. Never once had anyone ever said that to him. He smiled and said, "I should go get some food." He turned around and his face slowly formed into the emotionless one he walked in with. He could never feel the way he just did except for when he was with Naruto. He couldn't help it. Naruto was just the only one that could break the ice around his heart.

Naruto crawled back on the top bunk and drifted to sleep with tear-stains on his cheeks.

Sasuke came back into the room an hour later and stood on his bed so that he could see Naruto. He was so beautiful, laying there so silently. He slowly ceressed Naruto's cheek with his hand. As he touched his cheek, the ends of Naruto's mouth curved and for the first time, Sasuke saw Naruto smile.

OMG! The first chapter of my first fanfic! ((Sorry it's so short. I thought this was a good stopping point)) I just went to a state four hours away for three days for a wedding. The whole time all I did was read fanfics on my laptop. On the way back, my laptop died so all I could do was think to myself. I was so inspired by all the fanfics I read, this popped in my head. Please comment and tell me what you think. I promise I'll reply to the comments in the next chapter. Btw, sorry if it's a little morbid. It's become a habit in my stories. Sorry.

. Thanks for reading!
