A/N: This story is a result of all my pent up emotions seeing as I tried to write them down on paper and it some how came out as this short drabble. It's short and cold. Period.
This is in Sasuke's POV.
Dis-of-the-claiming: This is fanfiction, therefore I don't own Naruto.

It took me a long time to realize I was crying.
It took me an even longer time to realize why.
It was something about the way you looked wrapped in an embrace, your lips on hers that screamed the word wrong to me. It just wasn't right!
I asked myself why.
And when the answer suddenly came, almost out of thin air, my heart clenched painfully because I knew. I knew it should have been me. It should have been me in your arms, not her.
But I'd been deluding myself for too long. Why hadn't I realized sooner how much I needed you. I already knew the answer to that one though—I'd blocked it all out. My emotions, all my feelings, I'd blocked them all out, not allowing myself to feel anything at all. But suddenly seeing you with her, it was all too much.
I knew then that we belonged together—you should be mine, but I also knew it was too late.
You were the only one that kept coming back, again and again. You truly cared about me didn't you? It hurts to realize my feelings in a moment like this. When you know it's too late and you can't go back.
I wipe the tears away, but I can't stop watching. You're kissing her neck now and the lower you go, the more it hurts, but I just can't turn my god damn head.
I imagine the taste and feel of your lips on mine instead of hers and my heart clenches again. Why is it that now I want you so bad?
I unconsciously take a step forward and a twig snaps beneath my foot. Time seems to slow as both your heads turn to face me. She's blushing like mad and you just look shocked. Your eyes widen. "Sasuke?" you whisper.
I can't help but think that my name sounds good coming from your lips, better then when anyone else says it.
I can't imagine how I must look to you, tears still in my eyes, just standing here out in the open. "Sasuke, what are you doing here?" you ask, even quieter than the first time because she's pulling on your arm to leave.
I try my hardest to pull my face muscles into an unemotional stare—more for his sake than mine—but I don't think I succeed. I hate myself for feeling this way about you, but most of all I hate myself for being too late and for letting it get this far without me even knowing it. But I'll make sure you never know. I at least owe you happiness for all you've done for me.
"Nothing," I mutter and I'm pleased to note my voice sounds cold.
I turn and walk away without a second glance.
Naruto, I've put so much trust and need in you without even knowing it. It's time to break the bond.
Even if it kills me.

A/N: That's all. You can imagine the "her" to be whoever you want.
