Hidden
I always sensed something hidden behind that wall of ice...
...But I was never sure it was worth it.
I gently stared at the shining onyx eyes of the boy in front of me; not at all caring he was an Uchiha who was crying. I didn't understand much of the world going on around me, but I knew that Uchihas and crying definitely did not go together. I was amazed at how his dark orbs shone against his unfamiliar tears, seeming to shine even brighter than polished obsidian.
"Are you okay?"
I don't know why I bothered wasting my breath or my sympathy on such a moment, but alas, I did. I was raised to be kind, no matter who in the world I was helping. I noticed his onyx orbs widen for a slight moment, but narrow down again, and the boy turned away from me, almost looking embarrassed that I had caught him in such a moment.
"Go away."
My eyes widened with hurt, but I backed away nonetheless. The boy once again turned towards me, this time with his eyes flashing with undeserved hate. I continued backing away, but in the quick flash of moments, I felt I sensed something behind his eyes.
I always felt there was so much more...
...Than that thick wall of ice.
My eyes widened with joy when they caught sight of the love of my life, Uchiha Sasuke, walking towards me. Over the years, the harsh encounter of the night when we were seven was pushed to the dark depths of my mind, and instead, it was full of infatuation and obsession. He walked towards me, my heart setting aflutter by his handsome looks and physique. He stoically stood next to me, he too waiting for Kakashi-sensei and Naruto to appear for training.
"Sasuke-kun..."
I wasn't able to finish because I was, once again, rudely shoved away.
"You're annoying."
My eyes widened with hurt and shock, tears beginning to form from my eyes. I was surprised to see what I saw behind his onyx eyes once more; the same thing I had sensed that day when I had first met him. The tears faded, and miraculously, I let off a soft smile. He seemed confused by this, but turned away from me nonetheless.
I believe that it was that day when I truly fell in love with the man.
That day when I fell in love with you all over again...
...I was so happy to see such a different shine in your eyes.
For what seemed like eternity, the salty liquids finally fell from my emerald orbs. He was standing there, walking away from his home; his back turned away from me. I felt my heart breaking into a million fragments. He was leaving? He was really leaving?
I tried to get him to stay; I confessed my real love for him. But all this time, he was never able to look into my eyes. Instead, he appeared behind me, muttered a strong "thank you", and knocked me out. I was never able to see his eyes, but somehow, I still sensed something hidden. The sense – this feeling made it so much better. I don't know why on Earth I was lulled away from depression just by sensing something that I wasn't able to see before he had just left.
But it was there, and perhaps that was enough to save my dying heart.
That day when you left, I wasn't so sure about your eyes...
...But as you said your last goodbyes, it was so easy to sense.
I stared deeply at the dull onyx orbs in front of me, my emerald eyes not at all comprehending that he, Uchiha Sasuke, was standing there before me, after five years of hardships and betrayal, covered in blood, wearing that blasted smirk of his on his bloody, swollen lips. Honestly, I wasn't sure what to think; would he just shove me away again? Rudely tell me to go away?
But as he took a step forward, I forced myself to not step back. A soft smile began to form on my lips as I stared at his onyx eyes filling with life, and finally I understood that eerie feeling that I had sensed all through the years.
There was something hidden there, behind the pain, the sorrow, the anger, the hate.
It was behind a thick wall of ice that was slowly melting, still hidden by years of darkness.
But I knew that if I gave it time...
His eyes would fully shine.
There was so much more to you than people saw.
You were a cold, arrogant bastard that left everything behind for your own desires.
But I, too, am I selfish monster.
I was the only one who truly saw your eyes shine.
A/N: Hmm, random, I know. Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed this one.
Also, to clear up some confusion about the last drabble.
Nobody died the last drabble.
The person who was thinking the "words are just words", looking into the mirror, the main person in the whole drabble, is Sakura.
She was thinking about Sasuke, thus the "quick flash of onyx"
"Words are just words until you look into my eyes and say them" is referring to how Sasuke did not look into Sakura's eyes while he had said "thank you"
Thus, she could not bring herself to believe that Sasuke had truly meant what he had said, which also means that in the slightest chance, Sakura may not have loved Sasuke more than anything, because she too did not look him in the eyes and say it. (Though it's obvious she truly meant it)
Hope that helped.
