~ Nineteen: Will You Ever See My True Pain Or Are You Blinded To Me Too? ~
Naruto sat silently beside Sasuke as the sun set, neither of them making any sort of attempt to start a conversation. They did this every day, ever since Naruto had started moving about.
Today, however, Naruto broke that silence.
"Do you know what hurts the most?" he asked, his question surprising Sasuke. The raven-haired twenty-year-old blinked a few times. "No one can ever answer that right when I ask them." Sasuke thought about it for a moment, putting an arm around Naruto's shoulders and tugged him into a hug. Naruto stiffened at first, but gradually relaxed little by little.
"What hurts most…is the thought that no one would miss you if you died," Sasuke murmured. Naruto was surprised, but then gave a small, true smile and relaxed into the older man's embrace and buried his face in Sasuke's neck.
"Yeah," he mumbled. "But I'd miss you if you were gone." Sasuke glanced down at him and smiled.
"I'd miss you too…Naruto."
