Title: Mendokuse
Summary: Sasuke and Naruto's relationship has always been so troublesome. SasuNaru drabbles.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Author's note: I'm putting this story as 'complete'. If enough people ask I might continue the drabbles into their relationship, which would mean fluffy/humor drabbles instead of all the angst/bitter-sweet ones.

~Forgiveness~

"How is he doing?"

Sasuke tore his gaze away from the unconscious blond and looked up at Tsunade who was stood in the doorway. "He's still unconscious even though the Kyuubi has healed the wounds." He frowned thinking that perhaps a part of Naruto didn't want to wake up.

"He's strong, he'll wake up soon," Tsunade replied. It sounded like she was trying to convince herself, not reassure Sasuke.

"Strong," Sasuke repeated the word in a whisper. He glanced back at Naruto's small, vulnerable body and sighed. Strong definitely wasn't a word that could be used to describe him in this fragile state.

Tsunade sighed as well. "I'll be back later tonight. Look after him." She turned and left the room.

Sasuke watched Naruto for several more hours. "Kami, Naruto...Please just wake up." He whispered, head bowed.

"Sas..." Naruto's voice filled the silence and Sasuke wondered if he were hallucinating. The sound of his voice was like music to Sasuke's ears. "S-Sasuke?" Sasuke's head snapped up and his own onyx eyes were met with cerulean blue.

"Naruto?" Sasuke reached out to brush his fingers against Naruto's face but hesitated when he saw the smaller blond flinch. "What's wrong?"

Naruto closed his watery eyes causing several tears to spill out onto his scarred cheeks. "You're just going to leave me again."

"Dobe," Sasuke murmured, his voice cracking with all the new, raw emotions. "I've no intention of leaving you ever again."

"You broke my heart," Naruto near-sobbed.

Sasuke pulled the crying boy into a comforting embrace. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He spoke into the locks of golden hair. "I love you. I always loved you. I'm such an idiot."

Naruto didn't speak but Sasuke could feel his slim body shaking with sobs and tears which stained Sasuke's shirt. "Naruto please say something..."

"I want to be angry," Naruto sniffed. "I should be angry but..."

Sasuke stroked his blond hair soothingly. "I will never hurt you again. I promise."

"I love you," Naruto breathed.

Sasuke smiled and pecked his lips sweetly, chastely. "I love you too, Dobe."

He was a long way from being forgiven, Sasuke knew that. However, he also knew that he would happily spend the rest of his life making it up to Naruto.
