Chapter six: GOOD NIGHT
("One World" As sung by Celtic Women)
I hear a baby crying I see a boy, who's frightened We're all a part of one world Loud voices raised in anger So let your hearts be open We're all a part of one world We're all a part of one world I'm just like you
A sad sound, a lonely sound
I want to take his in my arms
And then I dry away all his tears
A young boy, with old eyes
I long to say 'You're welcome here,
You can be happy now that you're warm'
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then you will find deep down inside
I'm just like you
Speak harsh words, such cruel words
Why do they speak so selfishly
When we have got so much we can share?
And reach out with all your love
There are no strangers now
They are our brothers now
And we are one
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then will find deep down inside
I'm just like you
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then will find deep down inside
I'm just like you
This time, the applause was quiet and reverent. It was as if the people where afraid of breaking the magic of the moment.
Slowly, everyone filed out of the building.
Naruto went to join his friends again.
"Hi! I hope that you enjoyed your evening but you will just have to wait till tomorrow to grill me. I am so tired right now that I really need to get home."
That said, he hugged the girls and shook hands with the boys before disappearing from view. Disappointed, the young shinobi dispersed and headed for their homes.
Sasuke was so busy, planning out how he would corner his blond for a serious talk tomorrow, that he failed to notice that said blond was sitting on Sasuke's doorstep till he nearly stepped on him!
"NARUTO!"
"Do you accept me?"
It took a moment for the Uchiha to understand what was being asked, "Yes!"
"Do you know me?"
This question might seam cryptic to some but Sasuke understood instantly. "Your favorite food is okonomiyaki, and your favorite color is teal. I was your first friend and Iruka was the second. Your birthday is October the tenth. Finally, your worst fear is that your friends would find out about the kubie and hate you for it. Thankfully, we all just love you more!"
The only indication of the emotional turmoil the boy was suffering, was a slight tremble to his voice, "Do you love me?"
Sasuke breath caught in his throat. Was Naruto asking what he hoped Naruto was asking? He certainly hoped so, "With all my heart my Naruto! I have for a long time and tonight only served to deepen that love! I fell fore your eyes the first time I saw you. I fell for the rest of you on top of the trees in wave country. I have just been so afraid of rejection from the only person that I have ever held dear since my family, that I could not find the courage to approach you. My greatest fear is loosing you."
Naruto barely allowed the Uchiha to finish his words before claiming his lips in a kiss that seamed to fuse their soles together!
"I have loved you from the moment you shared your lunch with me, fourteen years ago! Even when I became green with envy do to all the love lavished upon you by the village, I could not help but love you. I will continue to love you for all eternity!" Whispered Naruto when they had finally pulled apart. "I have faith and trust in you. With you at my side, I don't need any pixy dust to fly. Your love will lift me to the clouds!"
A small part of Sasuke wanted to yell 'Dobe' and drag Naruto off to bed. Unfortunately, he knew that would be a very bad idea. Now that he had heard Naruto's secret, he finally understood Naruto's opposition to being called 'dead last'.
Naruto had spent his whole life left behind and abused. Sasuke never wanted to make him feel that way again. Naruto was precious and disserved to be treated that way.
"Naruto, would you like to go on a date tomorrow?"
Naruto's face dissolved into a sweet smile. "I would like that very much!"
They shared a tender kiss before Naruto headed home, a smile on his face and a song in his heart.
Three years later.
Naruto stood on a high platform before the village that he loved so well! His New Hokage robs whipped about him in the gentle breeze. All of his friends cried and the villagers cheered! The view before him stirred his heart with gladness. The pure joy of the day welled up within him, busting to be let out!
Naruto's obligatory speech was now over and the soft opening strains to his favorite song, drifted out over the assembly. Naruto had slowly won over the villagers heart with his singing and good deeds. Do to the popularity of his performance; Sultry Sounds was forced to relocate to a larger building.
Now very familiar with his anthem, his fellow villagers began to hum along with the lilting tune.
I hear a baby crying
A sad sound, a lonely sound
I want to take him in my arms
And then I dry away all his tears
Naruto looked out over all of the dear faces as he sang from the heart. His dream had come true. The village that he loved had at last accepted him. Now, when people look at him, all they see is Naruto!
As he sang the last verse of the song he felt it with his whole heart and knew that his village finally agreed.
We're all a part of one world I'm just like you
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then will find deep down inside
I'm just like you
When Naruto stepped down from the stage, it was into the loving embrace from his husband of one year.
Sasuke had wooed his love. They went on romantic dates. Moon lit strolls, and long long talks. Having waited so long to share their feelings, they took the time to savor their courtship.
The night that Sasuke proposed to Naruto, on the bridge where Sasuke nearly lost his life in Naruto's defense, they made love for the first time. They worshiped each others body's and cherished each other's souls. And, just as Naruto had claimed, they had no need of pixy dust to reach the stars together.
"I love you Naruto!"
"I Love you to Sasuke! Please, take me home and we can fly again."
THE END!
