Aftermath
I know this is a short chapter but I'm dealing with a lot of stuff right now. One of my classmates suddenly died and the whole senior class is in mourning right now. Anway...I hope you enjoy this chapter!!
(Sasuke’s POV)
Fear enveloped me. My dreams, or should I say nightmares, have been this way for months. My memory haunts me in my sleep, the only safe haven I had left when I was in the sound. Orochimaru never went farther than kissing, yet that one gesture had shaken me more than any physical pain ever could. It made me feel worthless, like nothing I did could cleanse my soul. He would always leave after that point, satisfied in the tears that would come after the kiss. Kabuto would then come in and close up any wounds that were inflicted. Tonight, the memory had been so vivid, almost like it was happening all over again.
My eyes flew open, shattering the illusion of the dream. Soon I could hear screaming, only realizing after a couple seconds that it was me. Then I could do nothing but cry, rolling down to the floor. I curled into myself, the thing I wanted to do most when strapped to that metal table. Faintly, my ears picked up footsteps coming closer to me. I cried even harder, pleading for this person not to hurt me. Heat surrounded me and lips quickly locked with mine. I wanted to reject them but felt an odd calm wash over me. My eyes searched for the person’s identity and was surprised by the answer, Naruto. What was he doing? Just as suddenly, Naruto pushes away from me and stubbles back. I see fear in his eyes, probably reflecting my own. He tries to say sorry and bolts out of the apartment. Stunned, I have to sit there for a moment. Confusion kept penetrating my thoughts. Why did he do that? I then remember the feeling I had before Naruto and I begun the fight on the training grounds hours earlier. It then hit me that I had the same feeling when he kissed me. I try to sort through the list of feelings in my head. Hate, no. Fear, no. Sad, no. Embarrassment, maybe. Happiness, a little. Love.....? Did I love Naruto?
“Dammit...” What have I gotten myself into? I haven’t been in Konoha for more than 24 hours and I suddenly realize I have feelings for the village’s number one idiot. So many new questions rose to the surface of my ever more confused brain. Did he feel the same? How was I going to revive my clan? Enough, I was going to find Naruto and ask him. I stood up and looked out of the open door, the one Naruto had only gone through moments earlier. Now, if I was the dobe, where would I go?
-----------------------------------
(Naruto’s POV)
I sat on one of the logs in the training grounds. I tried to think of someone to talk to, but no one came to mind. It’s not like I could just go up to Sakura or Iruka-sensei and say, “Hey, you know Sasuke just got back from the sound and he’s in my apartment. Oh and by the way, I think I love him. What should I do?” That wouldn’t go over very well. I bring me legs up to my chest and let my head rest against my knees. Figuring out my own feelings was the least of my problems, what about Sasuke? I had kissed him when he was scared out of his mind! I only wanted him to stop crying, to let him know that I was there and wasn’t going to let anything hurt him ever again. Of course I had all sorts of other options buzzing through my head since I had calmed down. I could have held him or I could have shook him into his senses. I just buried my head into my knees more, wanting to cry myself. I shake my head and stand on the log. I jump down and lean against it. I couldn’t go back to my apartment tonight, that would be too awkward. I sit down and look up at the stars, wishing everything could go back to the way they used to be.
“Mind if we talk dobe?” I flinched at Sasuke’s voice. Was he here to let me know how disgusting I was or just to say that he never wanted to see me again? I decided to stand for this, not wanting to be defenseless if this resorted to physical blows. He was the first to speak.
“Look...I don’t know what happened back there but...I ....dammit Naruto! What the hell was that all about?!?” I just wanted to turn and run, never to face him again. So many different lies were running through my head but I felt that none of them would have worked. Sasuke deserved the truth. I looked him straight in the eyes and sighed.
“To be honest, I really don’t know.” I look away and up to the moon. “I guess I’ve had these feelings for a while. Every time I saw you get hurt or if you ever couldn’t accomplish something that was important to you, I wanted to help.” I paused, letting him interject if he needed to. He remained silent, so I continued. “At the time, I just thought it was because I was your friend. "Yet....When I finally brought you back home and you were safe again, I felt this great pressure being released here.” I point to my heart. “Then I finally figured it out. I would do anything in this world to protect you...to stay by your side.” I knew this sounded completely ridiculous but this is how I felt. I wasn’t sure I was ready to tell him that I loved him or that he would ever give me the chance to say that. I didn’t want to turn around to face him, so I didn’t. I waited for the rejection, the verbal abuse, a slap to the face, anything! I just wanted an answer. What he did surprised me. Sasuke came up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist, and leaned his head into my back. My head went back, feeling tears come to my eyes.
“I feel the same way dobe.”
