Warning: Male/Male, Angst

Prelude


Ancient Japan, Year 1867

The bamboo tube tipped over and hit the hard rock, water spilling forward and into the pond.

thunk

Emptied, the wooden arm swung back to its previous position as water begins to trickle from the fountain into it anew. A wrinkled hand lift the tetsubin (cast iron kettle) from the hearth and poured freshly brewed tea into a small cup, the sweet refreshing aroma of sencha permeating the air. The man then carefully placed the heavy pot back on the roasting furnace and looked up expectantly as the shoji doors slid open, admitting a blond decked in full ANBU outfit.

"Hi." the newcomer greeted quietly, voice near a mere whisper. "Tadaima. (I'm home)" Removing his wooden mask, Naruto smiled softly, the small expression lighting up his handsome young face.

"Okaeri. (welcome back)" the other replied in a gruff voice roughened by age and returned the smile with a crooked grin.

thunk

"I've got you a gift." Naruto continued stealthily as he went to sit himself beside his silver-haired companion. For a few moments, he rummaged through his pockets in silence then retrieved a small frog charm. "Kaeru. (frog/to return)" the kitsune bearer gazed at the gift with unreadable emotions before pressing it into the old man's palm. "Kaeru. Wherever you may go, remember to come back. Home...to me."

"Ah.." the older male acknowledged without hesitation. "Kitto. (definitely)"

thunk

Naruto nodded, then leant his head on the other's shoulders and hugged the dependable frame. Gently breathing the familiar musky scent he had came to love so much, he relaxed his body as his companion answered with an arm draped loosely over his back. The blond could hear rhythmic beating of his lover heart and it lulled him into a serene trance, and slowly he felt his eyelids grew heavy.

"Naruto..." the man started, mumbling in mock seriousness. "I miss reading Jiraiya's Icha Icha Series."

"Perv." The blond snorted in amusement at the ex-nin's cheekiness and let his eyes slid close.

thunk

"Naruto..."

"Hm...?" the younger male hummed half-heartedly in question.

"Naruto..." the man whispered lovingly, his voice faltering. "I love you."

thunk

Naruto tightened his arms around the man and snuggled closer, refusing to let go. He could feel the bitter sadness welling up in his chest as he choked out weakly. "I love you too. Kakashi." The silver-haired male smiled serenely and lifts his eyes to the azure sky. He watched the clouds drift passed slowly before his attention was distracted by the last brown leaf breaking apart from the oak tree and fluttering to the ground.

It would be winter soon.

Naruto. Kakashi thought as he felt himself fading away, his heart beating slower and slower when finally it stopped. Naruto, I will miss you. His head dipped forward as he took the final breath. The blond who stayed in his embrace did not move. A single tear rolled down from his tan cheeks.

thunk

He was alone now.
