Naruto had seen Sasuke at school, so that told him he would be sitting at assembly, as silent as he was that morning. Naruto sat on the stage in front of the whole school, while Mr. Larkin spoke one of his overly long speeches about litter, bullying, and the usual crap that fell out of his mouth.

'I guess he hasn't noticed that nobody cares, yet.' Naruto thought before he heard his name.

"Students, Teachers, please welcome one of your class mates, Naruto Uzumaki to the stage." Mr. Larkin boomed, clapping Naruto on the shoulder.
"Uh. Hey, guys. I'll be singing 'Teardrops on My Guitar', By Taylor Swift. I hope you guys like it." Naruto smiled.

At the mention of the song Sasuke's head snapped up from staring at the ground and torturing an ant.

Naruto cleared his throat and begun to strum those thin strings like a professional.

"He looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see
what I want and what I need
and everything that we should be

Sasuke's mouth dropped open, never before had he heard Naruto sing like this, this was amazing.

"Sasuke? You alright?" TenTen asked, getting a nod in reply.

That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without

He talks to me, I laugh cause it's just so damn funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

He walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause


So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..

He looks at me; I fake a smile so he won't see..."

Naruto stopped playing, the audience sat in awe for a few seconds after Naruto had stopped before going into an uproar. The only person not screaming, shouting, whistling, or clapping was Sasuke. Who sat there mouth gaping and expressionless?

Sasuke lay on the cool grass, watching the small amount of clouds blow past, wondering why things in life didn't just float by. You see a cloud for a second, it reminds you of something and it hurts, but then it's gone and so is the pain. Right now, Sasuke was sure this pain was endless and it was already making him numb. He didn't care if every feeling and every emotion was dragged out of his life, as long as one feeling he had stayed. Because, without it, he was nothing. Sasuke wasn't sure if he would rather go back to the simpler time when he was just a child, at six years old, telling everyone he was 6 and a half because it made him feel older. Or, would he rather go on, surrounded by the clammy hands of constant fear and knowing the person he loved, had no clue? He shook it out of his mind before it could sink in.

The light sound of footsteps made him turn his head slightly to see Naruto standing over him, his guitar slung over his shoulder and those cerulean eyes standing out.

"Hey, in a talking mood, or?" Naruto asked, sitting next to Sasuke.
"I'm sorry..." Sasuke whispered willing the tear that sat in the pit of his eye to go away
"For what?" Naruto asked, scooting closer.
"Every- everything." Sasuke whispered, wiping away that single tear. He promised himself he wouldn't lose it, he needed to talk and that's what he was going to do.
"No. Don't worry about it. I wanna help you, I'm sorry for saying all that shit, too." Naruto admitted he was wrong.
"I wanna tell you something, but you gotta promise not to get angry, kay?" Sasuke asked, twirling a piece of grass in his fingers.
"I promise." Naruto smiled, preparing for something horrific.
"The weed is only the start..." Sasuke confessed, another tear slid gracefully down his cheek, Naruto stretched out his hand to wipe it away but Sasuke flinched.
"W-what do you mean?" Naruto asked, genuinely confused.
"The pot. It's only the start; I've been taking pills, too." Sasuke sat up, pushing his face into his hands.

Naruto pressed his forehead to Sasuke's. "I'm going to help you," he whispered, wiping the raven hair from his face "I promise."
"Thanks, Naruto..." Sasuke whispered.
"It's okay. You're my best friend, you deserve it. First things first, getting you out of that house. Itachi creeps me out, so I'm not staying there." Naruto laughed, noticing Sasuke wince at the name.
"Uh, where am I going to stay, then?" Sasuke asked.
"My place. With Iruka, you don't mind sharing a room, I hope?" Naruto scratched the hairs on of the back of his neck, blushing furiously.
"Not at all. But, I have to go home after school and get my things," Sasuke tore the piece of grass in two "You can come, ya'know, if you want too."
"Um. Yeah, I can go with you, but I don't wanna be there for long," Naruto swatted away a fly, then looked at Sasuke seriously "I don't want you near Itachi anymore..."Naruto stood, smiling warmly.

Sasuke looked up and nodded, Naruto had to admit that he looked like a little child, but he couldn't tell Sasuke that, if he wanted to keep every bone in his body un-broken, that was.

Sasuke stood outside old school, hair hung messily in his face, shoulders hunched and his hands shoved deep into his pockets. Looking up as the bell sounded, ringing noisily in his ears. He saw Naruto, the blonde hair that spiked up in hundreds of different directions falling on his forhead, biting his lip as if he was deep in thought. Sasuke hadn't seen something so beautiful in all his life. The wind stood still without a song, as did the world. It felt like the world had just stopped spinning, Sasuke glanced up to check if the birds had fallen out of the sky yet, but they hadn't, time had started again as he took his eyes off Naruto. Was there something wrong with him? Was what Itachi had done to him twisted and warped his mind, beyond repair? Sasuke raised to hand to wipe away a tear before it strayed from the pit of his eye. The silence that he'd accompanied before that bell rung was now replaced with shouts from students, parents parking their cars to meet their children with warm smiles. That was something he did miss. Gaara came storming up to him, pressing his lips messily to Sasuke's. Sasuke jumped back about a foot, glaring at Gaara with those Sharingan eyes he was so famous for.

"What... the... fuck?!" Sasuke cried, before closing the gap between them and smacking Gaara right on the nose, blood poured over his hands as Gaara clutched as his face, turning and running away like a scared puppy in a storm, it's tail tucked between its legs as it found shelter.
