Don't Care Who Sees

by brizamartian

Naruto can't stop thinking about Sasuke, the boy he loves more than anything. Now, after Sasuke has finally defeated his brother, Naruto is bringing him back to Konaha. What has 3 years apart done to their feelings for each other? What about the others who's love is entangled with theirs? How deep can one person love another? Warning: Some mildish yaoi sex later. Mild Language.

Naruto took a breath, trying to calm himself and failing. Itachi was obviously dead, his eyes were only half closed and he was covered in blood and burns, but Sasuke…

Naruto kneeled down next to him. The others hung back, knowing that Naruto needed to do this. Sakura, with tears in her eyes, was about to step closer, but something about this moment stopped her.

She watched though her tears as Naruto took Sasuke in his arms. Watched as he brushed the hair away from his face. Watched as he started to cry, saying over and over "I've got you back Sasuke," and clutching him close to his chest as if he might disappear.

She knew he was alive. She fell to her knees, sobbing with joy. "Thank you! Thank you!" she sobbed.

The others whooped and high-fived each other. An impossible mission, accomplished.

Hinata did not laugh, or high five the others. She saw the way Naruto held Sasuke, how he gently he cradled him, like one move would shatter him. She saw the look on his face, upon realizing that he was alive, as if the stars had aligned and suddenly everything was right with the world again.

Hinata saw love in Naruto's eyes. A love that now, she feared, would never reach her. Would Naruto ever look at me like that, she wondered? She didn't think so. It seemed that all the love Naruto had in the world belonged to Sasuke.

She looked over and saw that Sai was watching the moment with the sad smile of a man who's had his heart broken, and she began the think that she isn't the only one in love with Naruto.

Sakura saw it too, of course, but was too relived to really think about it. Maybe she would later, but right now Sasuke was alive and going back with them to the Leaf Village. She could hardly contain her joy.

Naruto was blind to all else in the world. He had Sasuke here in his arms and that's all that mattered to him. Everything would be ok now. Everything was ok.
