Goodbye my Blessing

By: Silverwolf

Naruto sits silently along a bed. The move that occurred had been swift and confusing for the teen. All he could think of was the sound he heard and the blood. Though it had taken everyone seconds to move him from sight no one considered the loss that occurred in front of Naruto.

The concert had become a disaster in seconds when someone from building security pulled a knife on the blonde. Though it wasn't the blonde teen that lost his life in the panic. Naruto hadn't spoke since the whole incident. He heard the sound of home's servants as one of them told him she'd prepared him a bath. All that had sank into the blonde's mind was the fact that he was supposed to gain the person that had his affection back not watch them choke to death on their own blood to save him.

Nagato steps into the room. "You still loved him after everything he did to you." Naruto looks at his older cousin with narrowed cobalt eyes. The younger of the pair wipes his tear streaked face along the shoulder of his shirt only to gain blood streaks along it.

"Sasuke loved me. He was trying to fix everything. I told him we'd be alright. He shouldn't have died." Nagato makes a face and pulls his younger cousin from the bed. "Bath. Now." Naruto makes a face and fights to pull away. Nagato holds Naruto tight and begins carrying the struggling blonde towards his prepared bath. "Naruto, carrying his blood around with you won't bring him back! Because of him you're alive... you should honor that."

Tears run down Naruto's face. "You don't understand. This should've never happened. I was supposed to have happily ever after." Nagato looks at his cousin. "This isn't a fairy tale. This is life. Life doesn't always have happy endings. Naruto, honor the fact he loved you by surviving."

The blonde looks at his cousin as he places him on his feet. "Take a bath. Carrying his blood won't bring him back." Naruto makes a face and throws his bloody shirt at Nagato. The redhead sighs as he tosses the shirt to the trash after it hits him. Even Nagato had heard the confession that every little gift his younger cousin received with a card and no name had come from the raven teen.

Naruto takes a breath once he's in the bath. The blonde decides to sink under the water. He stares at the ceiling through the water. Naruto remains still with the sound of the water muffling the rest of the noise around him. He'd heard someone enter after fetching him new clothing. He had also knew someone brought him towels. The next thing they'd be trying to give him a bath as if he was helpless. All of this was because his father was someone.

Naruto closes his eyes as he fights to continue to hold his breath. He had been under the water until his lungs burned to take a breath. Naruto feels the water move as he's pulled past it's surface. Even though the teen never heard someone enter the room.

Naruto opens his eyes as he feels someone's lips against his own. "Relax. I get one chance to say goodbye. I know I wasn't the best to you. And I did wrong you deeply. Do something for me though. Love again. You don't deserve to me alone. Also most people wouldn't have given me a second chance. Naruto take care of yourself." Once again the blonde feels someone kiss him. Tears streak the blonde's face.

"Sasuke, I can't. I don't want to live without you. I can't." The blonde feels the embrace. "You can survive. Also you're not exactly without me. You still have my heart and I still have a place in your heart." Naruto can feel Sasuke wips away the tears. Cobalt eyes close as Naruto feels a third kiss. The blonde goes to place his arms around Sasuke. Instead the feeling fades. "I would do it all again if it meant you'd survive. Goodbye Naru, I'll always love you. Meeting you was my only blessing."

Naruto sits crying silently as someone enters the room. The servant sighs low and gestures that it's time for Naruto to leav the water. The blonde doesn't acknowledge anyone instead he remains surrounded by water in his sorrow.
