CHAPTER 4: I WONT GO HOME WITHOUT YOU
"Sakura explain."
"Why? What does it matter to you anyway? You got what you wanted didn't you? To be away from him."
At this Sasuke grit his teeth and looked away. Sakura prodded him further sadistically enjoying watching him lose his stoic attitude under her unforgiving gaze.
"Shed that icy shell of yours for once Sasuke . And get your priorities right. Just know that its more than a best friend you have lost and regret always comes late."
Suddenly her arm was held in a fierce grip and she found the Uchiha's hard glare on her.
"Tell...me..Where..is..he...please.."
Sakura stood there numb. Her hand was starting to rapidly lose blood circulation but she was stunned by Sasuke's reaction ...he had just said 'please'. A little hope flickered in her and smiling a bit she told him.
...
Naruto looked out of the cab window taking in the dusty air that comes before heavy rain. He liked it, it smelt of mud. For him it smelt like his old home in the village where everything was perfect. Perfect like the calm before a storm and then it came crashing down like a castle of cards.
Sighing he turned his attention to the present. Guilt filled him as he remembered leaving his friends without even telling them. Without even a goodbye. Without seeing him for the last time.
It seemed fit for him to go away this way. Unnoticed and unloved, fit for a disgraced person like him.
That teme! No! I won't think of him. And I won't think of myself like that. He is not worth the pain.
Repeating this like a mantra in his head he resumed watching the grey buildings outside as the cab made its way to the airport.
...
"I wont ride that hideous thing!" snarled Sasuke.
"He is getting farer away as we speak and discuss your preferable mode of transportation." Hissed Sakura back.
Sasuke glared at her and then at the pink coloured scooty, it even had Sakura blossoms printed on one side.
"Look here Sasuke. Time is running out . Your car is sent for repairs and the next best thing is this. Do it for him."
Sensing the truth in her words he strapped on a helmet also pink. Suppressing a shudder he climbed onto the scooty and started it.
"Oh and Sakura?"
"Hmm.."
"Could you get me another helmet?"
"..."
Smirking his famous Uchiha smirk he drove off with a purple helmet tucked under the scooty's seat.
"Gambate Sasuke. Get him back." Looking up at the dark clouds Sakura smiled as a drop of water fell from the heavens at the tip of her nose.
"He should have taken an umbrella, Naruto catches cold easily. That baka!"
...
"That baka! Dobe! Idiotic ball of sunshine! What does he think of himself? Leaving like that! drama king!"
Sasuke was lucky it was raining because even the sound of traffic couldn't tune out his muttering and angry curses. He never thought he would be reduced to this. Soaking wet,chilled to the bone on a PINK scooty, driving like the wind and yelling out curses to an absent blond. Hell he must have broken a dozen traffic rules today.
Only Naruto could do this to him. Turn him into something he was not. Someone totally out of character. But why?
Don't tell me. I'm falling for him aren't I? What do I say when I see him? I'm no longer myself.
Shaking his head to get rid of the confusing battle of emotions he focused on the road as he increased speed.
It was by chance that after 10 minutes he chanced to look into one of the cabs as he passed it. He was sure he caught a glimpse of a mop of blond hair and a pair of lifeless ocean eyes.
Nervous and anxious to stop the cab Sasuke did the most stupid thing he could think of. He turned the scooty and applied the brakes right in front of the running cab. A split second later he felt a blinding pain and an even more painful cry erupted before the world went blank.
"SASUKE!"
...
"How much longer will it take?"
"The traffic is kind of heavy and the rain is making it no better. So we might be arriving 15 minutes late. But there is a chance that your flight might be cancelled due to the rain."
Oh great! Just what he needed. To spend a frigging night in an airport. Grumpily he shuffled in his seat and turned his attention outside.
Suddenly he saw a pink scooty zoom by. It looked familiar. Wait! Wasn't that Sakura's and the driver looked oddly like Sasuke.
Stupidboy.Youreallyneedtovisitamentalhospital. Chiding himself he almost smiled when he heard a screech and a sickening crunch as he got jolted to another side.
Oh shit! Throwing himself out of the cab he ran towards the victim his dread getting worse as he recognized Sakura's vehicle. But he stopped when he saw a raven haired boy bleeding and lying eagle spread. His world collapsed as he screamed.
"SASUKE!"
...
Naruto was never so happy to hear the word dobe in his whole life. After crying like a baby over Sasuke's prone figure in the rain for 5 whole minutes he almost jumped when he heard Sasuke's weak voice drift out.
"Dobe... eat less ramen"
Getting off the raven and chuckling weakly he just answered.
"Sasuke are you calling me fat?"
"hn"
"Oh..that means your fine."
"Naruto...i.."
"Wait.. before you say anything lets patch up the wound in your head..and no no's." Naruto said as soon as sasuke opened his mouth to disagree.
A few moments later they were standing awkwardly facing each other . Shifting from one foot to another they waited for each other to start. Naruto never the patient one sighed and started.
"um...so teme..were you just doing a suicide stunt or did it have some other purpose?"
"..."
"Sasuke? Did you come after me?"
"..."
"sasuke!"
"Look here Naruto...i never let people in...But you...I mean I'm confused...I know I like you...but in not sure in that way..but then why are you in my mind 24/7..what is wrong with me? And then you leave..."
Naruto stood there with his jaw on the floor as sasuke blabbed nineteenth to the dozen. Sasuke was making no sense. At all. He continued watching as Sasuke was struggling more with himself.
"Then you leave and I felt like i'll never forgive myself if you go out of my life..DOBE! why didn't you tell me...oh but we were not on talking terms..Were we?.."
Naruto, feeling like he had heard enough and understanding sasuke's inner turmoil stepped forward. Standing on the balls of his feet he reached forward and cupped Sasuke's face in his hands ,he tried to calm him down.
"Sasuke..do you love me?"
That shut Sasuke up. He focused his onyx eyes into the deepest blue eyes he had ever seen. The same eyes which resided in his dreams. He simply stared back transfixed.
"Sasuke..you don't even understand what love is. Do you care for me? Are you afraid to see me walk away from your life?To never see me again. Forget for once that I'm a boy. Love can happen with anyone. Love isn't all beautiful Sasuke. It always comes with pain. Love hurts. Do you feel it?"
At first Sasuke remained silent..then he whispered.. "im scared.. im scared i'll lose you too."
Smiling a bit Naruto answered "well so am I Sasuke..so am I..But you can lose me only if you have me...and we can take that risk..Plus i love you...and i will never let you go nor will i let you let me go..Makes sense?"
Sasuke just smirked and 'hn'ed. Letting go of Sasuke ,Naruto almost turned when Sasuke's hand caught his hand and pulled him into his body.
"Teme!"
"Don't leave. Teach me what love is. It will be weird but if it means you will be with me then I won't mind much. "
"Sasuke are you asking..."
"Can I kiss you?"
At this Naruto's face burst into a shade of red. The Uchiha had his stoic face on but mentally he was beating himself. Somuchforgoingslowandsteady!Whatwereyouthinking?
"ye-yeah..I guess since we are together now."
Sasuke didn't even think twice when he lowered his head to give the blonde the sloppiest kiss ever. As he pulled away he saw Naruto frown.
"teme, you didn't do it right!loser!"
"oh really."
Naruto was pulled into the most amazing kiss as he felt the raven's lips worship every corner of his own. It had love, fear and longing mixed which blew his mind away..nothing else existed. Nothing was real. Except this.
After what seemed like ages the raven pulled away.
"dobe..open your eyes now." smirking at his achievement he watched as the blonde opened glazed eyes and tried to focus on him.
"wha..whew. I mean wow! "
"well. Now let's get you back. Sakura must be already having a mini attack."
"Shit!I'm dead! Sasuke! Sakura is going to rip me from limb to limb. Then she will dance over my gorgeous dead body." Sasuke rolled his eyes at this. They were interrupted by the honk of a very amused cab driver.
"Uh..Excuse me . Your flight."The driver until now enjoying the home drama decided to intervene.
"Take 's luggage back to the campus. He is riding with me."
"Sasuke! I'm not riding that!" screamed Naruto horrified pointing at the pink thing. Its headlight a pitiful sight by now.
"We'll see about that" sneered sasuke as he forcefully fitted the purple helmet on the blond locks.
The rain fell mercilessly upon the two as they weaved their way on the heavy traffic. But they didn't seem to mind. The blond was resting his head between Sasuke's shoulder blades.
After hearing him silent for more than ten minutes the raven got worried.
"Naruto you ok there..."
"Shhh..don't spoil it..it's so peaceful ,your warmth..this rain. It's too good to be true"
"naru..I'll never leave you..you should know that..I won't go home without you."
At this Naruto tightened his hold on Sasuke as he cried silently.
"don't Naru..don't cry."
"I know teme!bu-but this is my first happy ending."
