A/N: Hi everyone! Guess what? I really hate math. As in, I truly despise that subject. Especially when I have to show my work and end up spending half a page showing work just to find out it's wrong.
Also, forget what I said about weekly updates! You know why? Because I have the rest of the story all written out, but before I had no clue what I was going to do. But then—I had an epiphany!
And I shall type them all up now. Why? Because for one, the chapters as of now are ridiculously short, so it'd be cruel to only post one, and two, I'm really, really proud of the last chapter. I think it's my writing at it's finest, despite the fact that it's also the angstiest thing I've ever written. (Though this chapter is subpar.)
Plus, I'm procrastinating on that damn math homework. :P
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Anyways, enjoy the chapter! (And the rest of the story.)
Chapter 5
"Hey, Sasuke, about your dream last night… what was it?"
The room remained silent, Sasuke with an uncomfortable look on his face. Remembering about that day, all those tears, how he couldn't even do it.
It was just another failure in his life.
At this point, it appeared like Sasuke was choking back sobs. Naruto pressed the boy's head onto his shoulder, rubbing his back. "Shh… it's okay. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to." 'It might help, though…'
Some time had passed, and Sasuke was in fact, albeit slowly, getting better. The nightmares that had caused the boy pain were still happening, though less frequently now.
One day, to Naruto's dismay, he got a mission that would keep him from Sasuke for a couple of weeks. Naruto protested, but there was nothing that could be done. He told Sasuke about it, and he wasn't too happy, either.
"I'll be back soon," the blonde told him.
He never did return home.
Naruto never did hear Sasuke's dream.
A/N: Umm… I tried? The next couple of chapters will be better, I promise! Anyways, I hope you enjoyed and please R&R!
Yup, this is the shortest chapter in the story.
