Props: The lyrics are from 'Fade Away' By Udora, an awesome if albeit unknown band, if you would like to hear their music, go to their website and click on Audio, trust me, they're very worth it. I love 'em! Seen them in concert, full nine baby! cough sorry wrong fandom again...;;
A/N: Okay I promise this is the last one like this, I will be posting a very cute on next time, full of giggles and Sasunaru goodness, I don't know what has gotten into me lately - There must be something wrong with me. Jeez . . . any who, yeah, next one is going to be a doozy
"Fade away, don't let me Fade away
Just say its all right, all right, all right
Tell me there's still some time"
Fade
Was it unusual for him to care? It probably was, in fact it would probably be very bad if he were caught. But just like now Sasuke couldn't help himself, he'd left them all, Konoha, Sakura, Kakashi-sensei . . . Naruto . . . he'd been the one to turn tail and leave.
So was it strange the boy often found himself sitting just beyond sight watching, his eyes trained on one figure above all else. But Sasuke couldn't help it, the boy was addicting, even though Sasuke knew that the boy would never see him as he once had, he still needed to watch him.
Just be close to the blonde, yeah . . . it was probably weird. The boy had gotten more popular, time had been good to him, he was getting better looking and had a small fan club of his own. Sasuke had come back more than he wanted to admit, not telling anyone at sound where he had disappeared to, just leaving.
He would always come back and hide, unseen, and watch as Naruto went about his day. It shouldn't surprise him they had all managed to live on after he was gone, Naruto still spoke at ear splitting volumes, Sakura still snapped at Naruto easiest out of everyone . . . it was like he had never been there.
The thought was painful, deeply so, in the ever-dark halls of the Hidden Village of Sound Sasuke could only recall Naruto. The brightness that radiated off the boy, light enough to put the sun to shame, he hoped Naruto was thinking of him too, just using that mask he always wore to cover it. IF that was the case, he would come back, after he had managed to kill his brother, attain power, he wanted nothing more than to come back to Naruto.
Konoha held nothing for him anymore, honestly he wasn't sure it ever had, painful memories and loneliness beyond measure, nothing resembling a home anymore. He could turn away and never think of the Village of the Leaf ever again . . . but Naruto. It was harder for him to toss him aside.
Sure he had been the one speaking of breaking the bond the two had, he had been the one trying to kill Naruto, he would be the one who was probably going to try again. But he wouldn't, didn't and couldn't kill him. He knew if he ever put out the flame that was Naruto, he would die as well, physically he would remain only a shell.
Naruto had been someone he cared about more deeply than even he knew, someone he wanted near him always, even if they always fought and competed. He had been tempted to go to Naruto, lots of times, he didn't know what he would say or do, but he knew he wanted the boy to see him.
Prove he hadn't forgotten their rivalry that had carefully hidden their feelings for one another for so long, prove he was just as important to Naruto. They were both only 15, still young yet, they could still be each others most important person. It wouldn't be a perfect relationship, not after everything that had gone on between them, it would never be perfect.
But they would work on it, Sasuke knew they could do it, as long as Naruto waited for him. Sasuke would always come back to Naruto. That idiot, Usuratonkachi, Dobe . . . as long as he waited, and never forgot Sasuke, he would definitely come back to him. Even if it was hate, they were bound by something, Sasuke had kept that bond, he knew even if he wanted to he couldn't break it. He wouldn't.
Moving from the position Sasuke had been in for the last hour as he had watched Naruto eating ramen at his favorite ramen bar, a small smile tracing the sound ninjas lips, he followed the blonde all the way to his house. It was getting dark and Sasuke had been tailing the other ninja for the better part of the day, Sasuke would have to leave soon, before Orochimaru came to find him. He stood preparing to leave, but his feet went the other way, toward Naruto.
"...Wait for me, Dobe . . . "
It took less than a second to say, probably just less than a second to complete the act all together and exactly a second for the Uchiha to vanish into the tree's again. But that second, Sasuke had been so close to Naruto.
Of course the blonde had known who it was, felt his advance the moment the ebony eyed boy had put a foot on the road. It could have been the wind playing with him, his memories resurfacing to torture him again with the memory of his long gone friend.
It could have been any one of those things, but Naruto knew it was Sasuke. He raised his hand to his ear where breath had ghosted for only a half a second before, and he slowly smiled, looking over his shoulder and into the trees.
"Sasuke . . . "
Naruto gave a small laugh, and they had called that boy a genius, what an idiot . . . of course Naruto would wait.
"Fade away, don't let me fade away
Just say its all right, all right, all right
And I'll be feelin' fine."
