Pretty in Punk

Chapter 4:

So many kids but I only see you.

Sasuke's POV:

I feel empty. The one person who really understood me...he's gone. How can I live with myself? It's my fault he's gone. If I hadn't provoked him, he's would still be by my side. No, he wouldn't, but he wouldn't be in the place he is now.

I feel so numb. Everything goes by in a blur really. The warmth from Naruto's hands to mine, it feels like it was never there. I'm barely even talking to him now. I feel so ashamed, so dirty. How could I do this to him?

"Sasuke, it's time for school." Naruto picks up my untouched bowl of cereal and puts it in the sink for me. Iruka let me move in with them. I wish I could be a more gracious guest.

"Oh, right." I say. Naruto grabs my hand and leads me out the door. Iruka has already left for his work, I don't know what it is, but I don't really care.

"Sasuke, please, go back to your old self!" Naruto says to me while we walk to school.

"I- Naruto, I don't mean to be like this. I'm sorry." I don't even have the guts to look Naruto in the eye and say that. "It's just that Itachi was my everything..." I haven't cried since that night they took him away. I don't want to ever cry again.

"Sasuke," Naruto grabs my chin forces me to look him in the eye. "Please, let me be your everything. I know I can do it. I-" He suddenly stops talking. Naruto looks to the ground and a light blush covers his cheeks. He hasn't kissed me since that night. It seems like everything happened on that night. Yet, I wish nothing ever happened. I wish nothing ever changed.

A fierce heat hits my lips, I didn't even noticed I had my eyes closed. Naruto's kissing me again. The second time. This time is different. As they say first is the worst, second is the best. It's like I'm sleeping beauty and my prince has finally woken me up.

Naruto pulls away from me. I can't explain my expression. I'm aware finally, I'm mad that he pulled away from me, I'm happy he didn't give up on me.

"Sasuke, I don't know how much longer I can take of this...I love you." Naruto throws his arms around me and pulls me into his arms. He buries his face in my neck. "Please say something." He whispers. I can hear the frustration, the saddness and the hope in his voice. How did I let myself do this to him? How did I hurt him this bad?

"Naruto?" I finally say. He looks up at me, he has a tear in his eye. "Thank you." I press my lips to him. He wraps his arms around my neck and my arms are holding him in the small of his back. I feel it this time. I really feel it. I feel his tongue running over my lips, and I feel his tongue in my mouth.

"For what?" He says once broken away from me.

"For not leaving me. If I was you I would have left after the second week. Thank you for loving me. I'm awake now." I said running my finger along his cheek, Naruto is just short enough.

"Sasuke, I'm not leaving you. I'm here to fix you." He said wrapping his arms around me again. I kissed the top of his head. He lets go of me and pulls me along to make me start running along with him. "We are going to be late, Sasu-chan!" Naruto has a nickname for me now, that means I have to give him one.

Naruto's POV:

I can't take his moping anymore, it's been a month and a half...since...that night. He just sits there staring into space, he'll occasionally sigh, but I don't think I've seen him eat since that night either.

He doesn't respond to my questions half the time, it's like he's in his own little world. I don't know what to do. I know I said I would be the one to fix him, but I didn't know it would be this hard.

Once again, I pick up his untouched bowl of cereal and dump it in the sink. He doesn't even seem to notice me.

"Sasuke it's time for school." I tell him like I do every morning.

"Oh, right." He says it like he didn't even know what school was.

We walk in silence for a bit, then I snapped.

"Sasuke, please, go back to your old self!" I grab him by the shoulders and lean my head against his chest.

"I- Naruto, I don't mean to be like this. I'm sorry." He looks at the concrete like I'm not even there. "It's just that Itachi was my everything..."

"Sasuke," I say with more force and grab his chin so he looks at me. "please, let me be you're everything. I know I can do it. I-" I can't say it. My cheeks are heating up. I look away, but I'm still holding his chin. I have to tell him. It's the only way I can think of to bring him back. I whip my head back up and press my lips to his.

At first there was no reaction, but then he began to kiss me back with more force.

"Sasuke, I don't know how much longer I can take of this...I love you." I wrap my arms around and pull him closer to me and bury my face in his neck. "Please say something." I don't know how I let myself get so wrapped up in this, but I just can't take his silnce.

"Naruto?" He finally says. My eyes are watering, I feel like he's going to run away from me. "Thank you." Sasuke kisses me for the first time. His arms wrap around my waist and my arms curl around his neck. I think I finally did it. I finally picked up all the peices, now I have to figure out where they all go.

"For what?" I ask.

"For not leaving me. If I was you I would have left after the second week. Thank you for loving me. I'm awake now." Sasuke runs a finger down my cheek.

"Sasuke, I'm not leaving you. I'm here to fix you." I tell him my intentions. Sasuke kisses my head, then something hits me. Shit! We still have school! Quickly I pull him along and a running pace.

"We are going to be late, Sasu-chan!" I'm so happy I finally get to use his nick name.

Sorry it's kinda short, but I've decided for this to be the end. Thanks for sticking with me! and sorry it took so long to update. (i kinda forgot about it ')
