Okay, you guys wanted it, so here it is.
I just hope that it's any good.

~*~*~*~

Strong as the Sun
Sequel to "Only the Moon Knows"

~*~*~*~

He didn't come to me last night.
I should be glad.

"Ah!"

But all I can do is think about him as I touch myself.

"...ah...Sasuke..."

I even call his name as my fingers invade my trembling body.
I'm so weak it's disgusting.

I can't think of why I was allowed to sleep last night.
Maybe he knew I'd do this.
He could be watching right now.
Stupid bastard.

"Sasuke...more..."

It's frustrating.
I can't reach that peak without him.
Has he made me dependent on him? No! I won't believe that! It's day, dammit!

I don't need him!

"Sasuke...Sasuke...Sasuke..."
...then why do I still call for him?

Strong hands are suddenly on me, pinning my arms above my head, spreading my legs wider.

"Sasuke?!"
"It's done like this, dobe."

No! You can't be here! It's day!

"AH!"

Why aren't I fighting him? I can fight him! It's day! The moon is gone! The stars are hidden!
Why won't my strength come?

I moan and cry as he uses me again, this time in the full daylight.

"Sasuke!"

I got what I wanted.
What I sought for but couldn't get on my own.
Damn you for doing this to me.

Heh.
I curse you but won't let you go. You have to pull my arms off.

I feel sick.
You keep your back to me as you dress.
I don't know why that hurts.

Look at me...even if it is with cold eyes.

"Don't leave."

This is the first time I've seen you like this, without the shadows to hide your face.
Were you like this the other times?
You seem...regretful.

"Stay...just for a while, please?"

I'm alone again.
It's unfair.

Tears prick at my eyes, but I refuse to shed them.
I'm Naruto, the Number One Loudmouth Ninja. I'm always happy and shine brilliantly like the sun.
I'm supposed to be strong.

How does the sun do it?






















Psych-major in the house? No? Then for those who noticed I'll explain something right quick.
Naruto went from thinking 'him' to 'you'. It is not a mistake that I did that.
Why?
Well, lets just say that 'you' is much more intimate than 'him'. It was basically Naruto's attempt to stay emotionally distant, but after today, he can't.
