Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto nor do I own it's characters. I make no money with this.

Author's Note: ...it's starting to get frustrating, really. I'm not getting anywhere with my other stories! Seems like I suck at writing longer stories... At least 101 Words is going well.


Fall

Every now and then, Naruto realized he was falling.

When he remembered the day he'd first met Sakura, beautiful, dangerous Sakura with her soft pink hair and incredibly green eyes, he remembered having fallen for her. It had been a hard fall and a painful way back up.

When he remembered the day he had first realized how amazing Konoha was, he inevitably remembered having fallen for Konoha as well. It was a nice feeling – knowing that this fall would not end in pain, because every single day gave him a new reason to fall all over again.

But both Konoha and Sakura were falls he'd already taken – though he hadn't necessarily reached the ground yet. With Sasuke, it was something else entirely.

Falling for Sasuke wasn't like anything Naruto had ever felt before. It was like hitting the ground a thousand times and more and still being midair. It was like jumping off the edge without his feet leaving the ground every single time their eyes met. It was the pain of the impact and the weightlessness of the fall every minute they spent together. In short, it was breathtaking.

For Sasuke, Naruto was going to fall forever.
