Naruto was pacing the floor of the living room in the Uchiha manor, 'He better come home…Sasuke…why?' Naruto thought sadly. For once in his life Naruto had found someone he loved and who loved him, would that really be taken away so soon? 'What would I do without him? What if he never comes home?' This thought was too much for the poor Kyuubi vessel and he decided he'd go look for Sasuke.

In this farewell,

There's no blood,

There's no alibi.

'Cause I've drawn regret,

From the truth,

Of a thousand lies.

Meanwhile Sasuke was slowly trudging home, lost in thought. 'Why was it so hard to kill him…I hated him so much.' Sasuke thought sadly. "Why, Itachi?" The Raven said out loud but to himself. "What do you mean, Uchiha?" A calm deep voice said from behind Sasuke. Sasuke didn't bother to turn around to face the Hyuuga; he merely stopped walking and waited for Neji to catch up. When the other dark haired boy walked up beside him, Sasuke turned to him "It's over…" he said in a dead voice. The Hyuuga prodigy nodded solemnly "Would you like to come have some tea with me, it will help." Neji said in the kindest voice the Uchiha had ever heard the boy use since he met him all those years ago.

"I'd like that." Sasuke replied slowly.

Neji nodded and started walking in the direction of a teashop nearby, Sasuke walking next to him. Neither of them spoke, the Hyuuga out of respect for the other and Sasuke because of his grief. Once they arrived Neji sat down at a table and motioned for the Uchiha to sit across from him. Once he had done so, Neji linked his fingers and rested his head on his hands watching Sasuke carefully. Sasuke sat staring at the table in front of him not moving, he looked dead to the world…which Neji supposed he was. The Hyuuga boy waited patiently for Sasuke to speak. When the other boy finally looked up and they made eye contact, Sasuke opened his mouth but closed it quickly. "Sasuke…if you want to talk I'll listen, if not I just want you to know that you can come to me when you're ready." Sasuke nodded his understanding. "I appreciate it Hyuuga." Neji bowed his head respectfully.

So let mercy come,

And wash away…

They drank their tea in comfortable silence, both boys being the quiet type they found no need for filler conversation. When they finished, Neji paid for the tea and the boys exited the shop. "Thanks Hyuuga…" Sasuke said quietly, not looking up from the ground. "Anytime Uchiha, see you around. Oh and remember what I said." Neji said walking away in the direction of his house.

What I've Done.

I'll face myself,

To cross out what I've become.

Erase myself,

And let go of what I've done.

Out of the corner of his eye, Sasuke saw a blonde boy and upon further inspection realized it was a very hurt looking Naruto. 'What is he upset about' Sasuke wondered.

'What the hell is Sasuke-Teme doing with Neji? I thought he was fighting Itachi?' Naruto thought sadly. 'Maybe he just was making an excuse…maybe he is dating him…maybe he doesn't love me.' Naruto had to scoff at this, for fucks sake he sounded like a teenage girl. 'Chill Uzumaki, they are just friends…' And with that he forced himself to grin at the Raven who had been looking at him funny.

"Oi, Teme come here." Naruto yelled a little to loudly in the Uchiha's direction.

Walking towards Naruto, Sasuke sighed quietly and forced a small smile onto his face. "Hey Teme, what's up?" Naruto asked in a fake happy voice. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at this, "Drop the act, Uzumaki." The Uchiha said sternly. It was almost instantaneous, Sasuke found himself pinned to a wall with a very pissed looking Naruto pressed flush against him. "Why were you with Neji instead of fighting Itachi?" Naruto asked, anger laced heavily in his voice along with insecurity and betrayal.

Sasuke couldn't hold back anymore, he laid his head on a very shocked blonde haired blue-eyed kitsune's shoulder and wept. Naruto was stunned, what was going on? Shouldn't Sasuke be begging for forgiveness instead of crying? For fucks sake the Uchiha never cries. The blonde gently patted Sasuke's back, whispering comforting words in his ear soothingly until the sobbing slowly stopped. He sure didn't know what was going on but Uzumaki Naruto hated it when people cried, it was in his nature to offer comfort even when he was upset.

Put to rest,

What you thought of me.

While I clean this slate,

With the hands,

Of uncertainty.

Sasuke looked up at his lover with tears glistening in his dark eyes and on his pale skin. Naruto couldn't stop the gasp that escaped his lips for the life of him, Sasuke looked hurt beyond belief and at the same time so innocent and beautiful. The blonde leaned down and kissed him softly, all anger forgotten for the moment. Sasuke looked more helpless then Naruto had ever seen him look before, he looked like a lost child whose dream had been shattered into little bits.

Naruto gently picked up the older boy bridal style, cradling him in his arms while still comforting the Uchiha. Sasuke snuggled close to Naruto's chest and wrapped his arms securely around the boy's neck. It was common knowledge that the two teammates were together but that didn't stop the villagers from staring openly at the sight of the aloof Uchiha heir being carried by the village idiot like he was a young child. Neither boy seemed to notice this however, they were to occupied with one another to really give a damn what they looked like to the outside world.

So let mercy come,

And wash away…

Naruto quickly reached the Uchiha district and walked up to the house he and Sasuke shared. Opening the door, Naruto moved to the living room and laid Sasuke down on the couch. He moved to walk away to get Sasuke a glass of water but a hand on his bicep stopped him. He turned around and looked deeply into the dark eyes of his lover, he was once again stunned by the emotion he saw in those beautiful orbs. Hurt, confusion and anger were only three of the many swirling emotions he saw, "Please don't leave." Came the gravely voice that normally was so calm and soothing. Naruto felt his eyes prickle slightly and he chocked back a small sob but complied nonetheless, lying down next to the older boy tucking Sasuke's head under his chin holding him close.

What I've Done.

I'll face myself,

To cross out what I've become.

Erase myself,

And let go of what I've done.

Sasuke sighed softly, trying to keep himself from crying once again. He thought back on the day's events and decided that he would need some time before he fully recovered from the shock of killing his brother. He also decided that was okay with him, he was confident Naruto would understand once he was told the story.

"Naruto?" Sasuke whispered.

"Nani?" Naruto said kissing the top of Sasuke's head lightly.

"I'm sorry…" It was barely loud enough for the blonde boy to hear, but he smiled slightly nonetheless.

For What I've Done

The two laid there quietly for a little while in silence before Sasuke spoke again.

"I killed him…I finally did it. But…I feel like shit about doing so. What's wrong with me?" Sasuke said, Sounding totally lost and insecure.

Naruto didn't like this side of Sasuke; insecurity didn't suit him well at all. He was happy beyond belief that Sasuke hadn't lied to him about Itachi being nearby, but he was deeply saddened by his lovers pain and suffering.

"Sasuke, it had to be done. You know what I say is the truth; you would never be able to live a totally happy life as long as he was alive. I hate seeing you like this, but you have to move on. Forgive yourself for what you did…but don't give up on life again. I couldn't handle it if you died or fell back into depression. I love you Uchiha Sasuke…believe it." Naruto finished with a faint smile on his lips.

I'll start again,

And whatever pain may come.

Today this ends,

I'm forgiving what I've done.

Sasuke thought about what his lover had said for a few moments before finally turning his head and placing his lips softly on Naruto's, not moving them just touching them together. It almost seemed as if he was reassuring himself that Naruto was real and wasn't going to leave him all alone. Smiling inwardly at this cute helpless side of Sasuke, Naruto pulled his lips away and placed a soft kiss on the Uchiha's forehead in a loving manor.

I'll face myself,

To cross out what I've become.

Erase myself,

And let go of what I've done.

What I've done.

Sasuke closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep ridden with nightmares of Itachi. However every time he would cry out or start to shake, he would feel Naruto's calming presence beside him. Little did he know that hell would break loose in the coming days, for now though all that mattered was him and his blonde Dobe. He knew it would take time but Sasuke knew for sure he would be able to get threw this…he was an Uchiha after all, he was Uchiha Sasuke the last remaining of his clan. He would get threw this…

Forgiving What I've Done.
