Chapter-3
Nothing is ever scheduled, yet they are constantly together.
Sometimes, they skip school and get lost in the wilderness, because they can and nobody is there to stop them.
And sometimes, Sasuke ends up on Naruto's apartment floor, asleep in a spare futon.
(When the nightmares get worse and sleep is impossible, they huddle under the blankets, on the tiny bed, facing each other and make up elaborate stories about the brave prince and the evil war-lord. They don't know what to do with the princess though, as both agree that girls are weird and silly and giggle at everything.)
Naruto borrows his clothes shamelessly and without asking, and various orange things turn up in Sasuke's home at the oddest of places.
Sasuke mourns his family every second, but Naruto is loud and distracting and right there, and Sasuke doesn't want to die anymore.
His heart still burns for his mother...and he cannot look at his reflection without breaking things or eat cabbage without vomiting his guts out.
But, there is purpose in his movements and his sleep is better.
