Chapter 8: Epilogue

I never let sleep take me that night, years ago. It was a night of bliss. Things were lost and things were gained. Tonight I stayed up watching him sleep. The way his tan chest softly rose with each breath. My pale hands traced the sharp lines that were his jaw and cheekbone.

He’s become something I’d never expect. He is always loud and vibrant just like his sunny blond hair. I remembered growing up thinking that he’d never amount to anything. That’d he’d always be a dobe. Maybe he wasn’t the best at school but he always had his priorities straight. The people that meant the most always came first. I guess this is the one category where he’s the genius and I’m the dobe. But I’d never admit that out loud.

My hand traveled down to trace over his chest. It rested on the most valuable part of him. The rhythm was calm and slow. It’s beat vibrated up my arm. I loved the way our hearts would sometimes beat as one. It makes me feel closer to him. Its hard to imagine that underneath his chest is a heart as large as the world. He always thought of others before himself.

This quality among others is the reason I feel so hard for him. I grew up thinking that the only way to get anywhere in this world was to be intelligent and ruthless, to be on top. Getting through life by showing no emotion was the only way to get ahead, “The Uchiha Way”. This phrase was drilled into my head. It was every fiber of my being. I was numb to the world but he changed everything.

I look down at his olive skin and place a kiss on his whiskered cheek. Slowly, I got out of our bed and stepped out onto the balcony, a lit cigarette in hand. I watched over the cityscape of Konoha. It was still familiar even though my family had abandoned it long ago. Each day I reflect on my youth, the choices I had made, Itachi leaving. I wonder if leaving us was worth it to him? He told me he regretted it every time he woke, asking himself if we made it through the night.

Flicking the cig, I watched as the ash floated towards the ground, with no purpose. In some ways I am still the same. Without Naruto I still feel numb. He’s the only one that I show true emotion with. Tapping out the cigarette I looked up towards the night sky. I hope that it would show me some sign. A sign of where to go or what to do. But in never did. I felt arms wrap around my bare torso and a cheek press into my shoulder blade.
“Sasuke, what are you doing up so late?” a yawn escaped his lips.
“Looking up at the stars hoping they’d tell me where to go.”
“They’re telling me to tell you that you should go back to bed because Naruto misses his human pillow.” he grabbed my hand and guided us back to the bed.

Even though I get back in the bed, I still cant sleep. Things have changed. Itachi somehow tricked everyone into thinking Father died of a heart attack. But we all know it was murder. Once I finished school I inherited the family company. I would have turned it down if my mother hadn’t begged me to take it. It was my Father’s business, not mine. Truthfully I fear that it’ll make me become him.

Sai’s in his first year of college. Once he’s done, we’ll run Uchiha Corp. together. I never thought my life would turn out like this. Everything changed when I met a tattoo covered ball of sunshine. If he had never found me I probably would have ran, like Itachi. Naruto saved me.

Things have also got better for him. He’s become extremely famous for his tattoos and designs. Naruto became business partners with Kankuro and opened another shop across town. We’ve move into an new apartment. But not everything was filled with happiness. Naruto’s mother had passed a year ago. It was no surprise that she had liver disease. Konohamaru had taken it harder than Naruto.

Naruto’s arm wrapped around me and pulled me close. The warmth of his body and his soothing heart beat lulled me to a sleepy state. Before I closed my eyes I clasped my hand over Naruto’s and thought of what the future was to bring.

“I love you Naruto.”
“I love you too.”

END.
