Kei: This is an earlier fanfic I found while looking for stuff to upload. Pretty fluffy, but you can't have shounen-ai without the fluff
Sasuke: The hell? I would never confess my love to Naruto like that.
Kei: Alright, you're a little OOC! Cry me a river and build me a bridge so I can cross it.
Naruto: Sasuke what did you mean by "confess like that"?
Sasuke: Oh, snap. Gotta go.
Disclaimer: I think that you would know by now that I'm not the creator of Naruto, but people can be dense, nee?
It was my fault you left.
We were exact opposites. You were popular, smart, powerful, even revered. I was hated for something I had never done. You were handsome. I was called a monster, a freak of nature. You had known love. I had known none.
But the truth is I wanted you to notice me. Although we seemed so different, there was one thing similar that bonded us. The feeling of loneliness. Drifting alone through a sea of people, never heard, never listening. And though I acted as though you were my rival, I secretly wished that you could be my friend.
When we were selected to be on the same team, I was overjoyed, though I didn't show it. My chance to be seen for who I was, not the monster people made me out to be. At first you seemed not to care, your only thoughts were those of revenge. I bickered with you more and more, trying to get you to look at me, if only for a minute. It was the only way we seemed to communicate, so I took my chance. The only problem was that you might think I truly hated you. I had to somehow convey the message that I wanted your friendship, not your hatred.
And then you suddenly sacrificed yourself for me. I couldn't believe what you had done. But when you had finally showed that you had some regard for my life, you had given up yours in return. The thought of your death was outraging to me, and my monster came forth.
Except that you had not died. Haku had spared you, because somehow he knew that you were special to me. We grew ever so closer that day.
Time passed, and we became closer and closer, the gap between us growing ever so shorter. You had become a brother to me, and me to you, even if neither of us would admit it. I finally thought I had found what I was looking for. The feeling of family, of love. Laughs shared together, hardships faced as one. I was not alone.
And then you left.
On that same night you had called for me earlier to meet you next to the schoolhouse, by the swing I used to sit on by myself. I didn't know that what you were about to tell me would affect our entire futures together. So I waited there, assuming that this was some sort of new training schedule. And you arrived.
"Naruto…"
"Hey Sasuke. What did you call me out so late for?"
"I have something to tell you."
"Hai?"
"Naruto… I love you!"
I thought it was some sort of cruel joke. You had hated my up until a while ago. Why would you want to ruin our friendship? I wouldn't let myself consider the possibility that the words you said were true.
"Sasuke, why are you saying that? Is this some sort of sick sense of humor?"
I had no idea how badly those words had hurt you.
"N-Naruto… why don't you believe me? I truly…"
"You can't be serious. There's no way at all that you would like someone like me."
"…Please, Naruto… At least give me a reply."
"Sure. How 'bout "I can't believe you would do something as stupid as this?" I'm going home, Sasuke. Only a sadistic freak would make a joke like that."
You left later that night.
If only I had not been so stupid. You wouldn't have lied to me about something like that, I should have known. I just wouldn't allow myself to believe it. But now that's why I'm looking for you. I'll bring you back, and I'll tell you my answer.
I love you, Sasuke.
Kei: Yeah, I know, pretty stupid. Tell me what you thought, okay? Constructive criticism is appreciated.
Naruto: Sasuke! Waaaaahhhh!!!
Kei: Geeze...
