Sasuke shut the door loudly, and paused, pressing himself against it. He could hear the blond muttering things on the other side of the door, things he knew the other wanted to hear.

Scowling, he turned from the door and headed home. He didn't have any use for such weak emotions as compassion. If he had to kill his brother, he couldn't hold onto these emotions. Hopping on the rooftops, he went as fast as his body permitted him, making the smell of the other man follow behind him and not into his nostrils.

The raven remembered the beginning of their relationship. It had been sweet and tentative, all the things a first love should be. He had been so WEAK then, letting the blond see all his aches and desires. Even though he didn't want to admit it, however, the man did miss these times.

-------------------

"Sasuke!" Yelled a delighted Naruto at his dinner table, causing the other man tho flinch at the loud voice. The raven turned annoyed eyes to the enthusiastic blond who had a bright smile plastered onto his face.

"What, dobe?"

Smiling, Naruto leaning across the table to plant a sloppy kiss on the others nose, smearing some of the meal Sasuke had made for the blond on his face. Sasuke's response was to scowl, but it turned into a strange expression as his face decided it wanted to smile.

Naruto laughed at the expression as he drew back, wiping his mouth of the meal after he had kissed the other. Sasuke watched Naruto laugh, and his face won. He smiled, and had to hold back a laugh at the blonds tactics.

"I just wanted to get that stupid ice prick expression off your face, teme!" Cried the blond between laughs. Sasuke's expression changed from a smile to a grimace at being called an ice prick. He retaliated by getting his fork and throwing it at the blond, who narrowly missed the object.

Naruto overreacted a little by grabbing his plate and throwing it at the raven, then quickly ducking under the table for cover. Sasuke having not expected a plate to be thrown at him, got hit squarely in the face by the object.

Sasuke's choice of getting back was to get under the table and grab hold of the others legs, pulling him from under the table. He quickly held the other down with his body weight and smashed his lips against his, kneading the others tongue.

Naruto frowned against Sasuke at the sudden change of their game. Weren't they in a fight? The blond decided he didn't mind all that much, putting more force on Sasuke's lips.

"I love you..." Sasuke muttered into Naruto's lips.

The blond smiled, looking deeply into Sasuke's eyes as the raven raised himself on his elbows. "I love you too, teme."

Naruto then lifted his hand to Sasuke's cheek to brush against the skin there, sending shivers down the others spine. "This is the best four year anniversary ever."

Sasuke, amused by the blonds antics, chuckled. "It's your only four year anniversary ever."

-------------------------------------

Sasuke stilled his ravage streak across the rooftops. He shook his head to dispel the memories that had started to float into his train of thought. It was useless to remember what Naruto used to mean to him, because he would never mean the same thing to him again.

As Sasuke reached his home, he opened the door and walked in, closing the door behind him. He fell into his cough, bringing a pillow under his head to rest.

He tried his best to ignore who he smelled like.

Sasuke awoke with a start about an hour later. He ignored it at first, hoping the person would go away. As the noise only increased, Sasuke stood to go answer the door. He put on his most annoyed expression as he opened the door. It soon melted away, however, as he seen Sakura with tears pouring out of her eyes. Everything about her seemed to be disheveled, from her hair to her clothes.

As Sasuke pulled the door back a little farther, Sakura ran into the others arm while sobs racked her small form. The man pulled disinterested eyes over the pink haired women, resisting the urge to push her off. As the sobbing grew smaller, he was about to ask her what was wrong. She beat him to it, however, with her next statement.

"N-naruto is..." She paused, tilting her head so she could see Sasuke's face. "He's dead, Sasuke!"

In horror, the raven pushed a bewildered Sakura away from him. He shook his head violently in denial, lashing out at the woman in front of him.

"It's not true, you lying bitch!" He yelled, watching with not feeling towards her as more tears feel from her face. "He can't die! I need-" He cut himself off before he could finish his sentence. Instead, he stormed past her. Flying over the roof tops in a bizarre pace, he left Sakura in the dust.

He headed towards the north gates, and ran through them before the guards could question him. He felt he was being pursued, but he didn't care. He ran to who he thought could help, who could bring people back to LIFE.

Orichimaru.

Sasuke squeezed his eyes shut as he felt another memory creep into his thoughts.

-----------------

The blond gripped Sasuke with a shear intensity, holding the other as close as possible without suffocation. He put his head in the others neck, smelling his scent, smelling Sasuke.

"Promise me something, Sasuke?"

The raven looked down at the rather distressed boy, nodding his head. He ran his hands through Naruto's hair to calm him down. As the blonde slowly withdrew from Sasuke, his eyes looked at the others with a glowing sheen.

"Don't ever forget me, and stay with me forever."

Sasuke nodded, wanting nothing more than to please the other.

"Forever..."

If you didn't get that, it was flashbacks. Yay for flashbacks!
