Graduated
The students have all pranced off to meet their loved ones, to thank them for attending the graduation. They have said proper goodbyes to Naruto. Sasuke feels like he is going to faint as he walks toward his ex-lover, his sophomore year English teacher. He keeps his face blank as usual. Just like old times. Naruto smiles. “Sasuke.” Hearing his voice, seeing his body…Sasuke had been apprehensive of this moment for months. Thoughts fly through his mind. He gave it up to a sex offender. This sex-offender spent two years total in maximum security prisons around the world because child molesters are loathed everywhere and prisoners act out such hatred. Naruto had originally a worse sentence but he was released for good behavior. Of course. The three years probation was something Naruto breezed through because he became better at what he did, meaning he fled to countries with different sex laws. They stand close to one another.
“Naruto.”
Silence.
“Why did you leave?”
“Well, I wanted to get my Master’s and the only place that offered it sufficiently was back in Philly, so my girlfriend and I—”
“No.” Sasuke’s posture is stiff and rigid, his eyes cold and unforgiving. “Why did you leave?” Naruto shakes his head and rubs the back of his neck. “Sasuke, we couldn’t have kept it going. I would have been fired anyway.”
“And you would have gone back to jail.” Sasuke spits out the words. Naruto’s eyes widen from gray to blue. “I know everything about your past, Naruto. Even about what your mom did to you.” Naruto flinches. “There’s one thing I don’t know, though. Something I’ve wondered since I found out about Melissa. Tell me the truth, Naruto. Our relationship lasted over a year. Was I ever more than a fucktoy. Was it even a relationship.” Sasuke’s voice is cave ice—beautiful, cold and scary, coming from a dark and dangerous place. It can hurt a person if it falls when it melts. It can hurt a person when it breaks, a stalactite, still frozen, cold and unforgiving.
Over these two years, Evanescence has been replaced with Within Temptation. “My Last Breath” and “Taking Over Me” have morphed into “Our Solemn Hour” and “Memories.” Amy Lee’s voice was raw with emotions Sasuke felt at the time. Sharon den Abel had the voice of a choirgirl, but the words she sang told everything. Sasuke likes both Evanescence and Within Temptation, but Within Temptation’s songs hold more meaning for him now. The song “Memories” floats through his mind.
“Sasuke,” Naruto looks dejected, guilty, lost. He sighs. “Meet me tomorrow morning in the school’s parking lot and we’ll go for a drive.” Sasuke regards him icily. “What time?”
“When’s good for you?”
The graduate smirks. “Three.” Naruto’s eyes look ready to pop from his skull. “Three o’clock in the morning?” Sasuke nods. Naruto bites his lip and runs a hand through his spiky blond hair. Nothing has changed…except that Naruto has a girlfriend, a kid, moved and it’s two years later. He still looks, walks, talks and acts the same. “Okay. Three A.M., Konoha High School parking lot…” Naruto slips a mini-sharpie from his pocket. He grabs Sasuke’s hand and scrawls something onto it. “I’ll need a wakeup call.” He kisses Sasuke quickly. “Go celebrate with your family, Sasuke,” he whispers, smiling. “I’ll see you tomorrow morning.” Sasuke nods and looks at his hand.
“You brought your cell phone with you?”
“Yeah. Call me when you need me.” His eyes held a different message. Call me every day forever now, Sasuke. Sasuke turns to go. “Uchiha Sasuke—” Sasuke turns to Naruto again. “Tell me you love me.” Naruto is begging.
“I love you, Uzumaki Naruto.”
“I love you, too, Uchiha Sasuke.”
Kakashi and Iruka take awhile to locate, for the gym is still jammed with people. Sasuke’s dads are talking with Gaara’s parents and Lee’s parents. Sasuke walks into the hallway and smiles, actually smiles, to see Gaara and Lee wrapped around each other, kissing and groping passionately. They disentangle to breathe and Gaara whispers, “Congratulations.” He’s referring to Naruto. “You too, Gaara,” Sasuke responds earnestly. He’s referring to Lee. The redhead nods and grabs Lee again. Sasuke leaves them to their make-out session and walks over to his parents again. “Ready to go?” Iruka asks Sasuke, smiling. Sasuke nods and greets the redheaded couple as well as the bushy-eyebrow couple. He decides not to say where Gaara and Lee are. Kakashi and Iruka bid the adults farewell and weave their way out of the crowded gymnasium, into the crowded parking lot. Naruto looks at Sasuke from halfway across the parking lot and climbs into his car. Sasuke climbs into his—well, Kakashi’s—car as soon as the doors are unlocked.
His parents congratulate him and they ask Sasuke what he is going to do now.
“Get a job, go to college.”
“Where?”
“I don’t know.”
The ice cream is comforting. Sasuke is content. When they get home, he sets his cell phone’s alarm to vibrate at two o’clock in the morning. Naruto is staying in a hotel near his old apartment. It will take him awhile to get to KHS. Sasuke changes into his nightclothes, says goodnight to his parents and falls asleep.
“Naruto.”
Silence.
“Why did you leave?”
“Well, I wanted to get my Master’s and the only place that offered it sufficiently was back in Philly, so my girlfriend and I—”
