T W O

Two years had passed since the allotted time. There is remorse in my heart.

I sprawled against the white colored sheet that covered my bed in contrast to the black hues that painted the sky.

The gentle white flakes that are settling on the surface from the onyx heaven had successfully taken over my heaving mind.

The scene outside was supposed to be heartwarming but that did not apply for me.

Coldness was all that exist in the little space of mine.

No heat. No warmth.

It was always the winter and me.

No blonde to hug me to stop my trembling.

No blonde to wake me from the dream that devours me.

How I wish to see you now is beyond comprehension.
I'm homesick, Naruto… I'm homesick.

The snow outside, they remind me of you.

Of you.

And of you alone.

If I could only be back, I'll be there in a speed of light. But that's all that matters right?

I will be back.

I know I'm two years late… but hey, are you still waiting?

It was five years ago since I last saw you.

There's this promise I made and I assured you.

To think I said three years, but heck I've been gone for five.

It's my bad, Naruto, I'm sorry but I'll be back.

Do you still remember the day of our meeting?
It wasn't special… but now I can call it more than exceptional.

Do you still remember how we met?

It was winter back then and the coldness was monotonous.

A lot of people surrounded me as if I was a celebrity. I never knew how to smile that time, so I never did. I thought that would stop them from yanking me, but I guess I was wrong.

My life was so indifferent. Everyone would beam at me, praise me, and tell me they love me.

Love was overrated. How could they love someone they barely knew? That was just so unfathomable.

Pity in love's disguise was the thing I loathe the most. It was always like that and it made me disgusted. I snapped and told them I didn't care.

It was not that it mattered. I really did not care.

In my life of indifference, guess who made the entrance…
Yes, Naruto… how conceited of you… but yes… it is you…

Amongst all who had welcomed me, you were the only one who never smiled at me.

Your eyes were boring holes in mine. Your azure orbs were staring. They were melting me like I was a chunk of ice useless in a blaring fire.

It was as if you could see right through me.

Your eyes were so honest. I was so sure of it.

Your honesty, Naruto, I hate it, yet I love it.

It was the third week of December and winter did not plan on ending.

You confronted me in a corner, all alone and unwavering.

Your eyes were still blue, but no, they were brighter.

I watched you as your lips parted and mouthed words of hatred. You cursed me and yelled at me until my heart almost fell.

You told me I could cry if I wanted but you were the first one to.

Your words backfired, did they not? Funny, but then I'd notice, it hit me too.

You ran outside and vanished from my sight. I saw nothing but the blizzard as I search for your back.

Look at me now, Naruto. I'm so out of my character.
Should I congratulate you? You were the first one who made me do so.

My feet were moving without my control. I was seeking for you for a reason I did not know.

I fought my way to the blizzard because I know it's a must.

There you sat on a little bench. You were clutching your knees with your shivering arms, wetting your face with your flowing tears.

It was cold and you were defenseless and you were almost inviting Death.

That was really childish of you, Naruto.

My calm façade was torn apart when a poignant pout in my face materialized. I trembled with anger and walked towards you, marching until your shoulder was at my grasp, I held on tight.

Really tight.

You stopped trembling as you looked at me. Before I knew it, I was crying and smiling too.

My arms found its way around you, scared of letting go. Your arms did the same and I wondered…

Do I have to find the reason why I searched for you in the dark?

You took my arm and smiled for a bit.

Your golden locks festooned you. I love the way you look.

I know it was winter, but your presence screamed summer.

Naruto, did you receive any kiss from the sun?

It's a compliment, so rejoice. I never gave one to anyone.

You are my warmth, Naruto. Nothing can replace you.
Please end the winter soon, then maybe I can come home and see you.

Your stupidity was obvious. There's no denying you were a dead-last.

I never knew what I did, but you started calling me bastard.

Was it a call for vengeance?

Or something to tighten the bond between us?

You were my first friend, and then I decided.

You shall be my last.

Happy days do end, don't they, Naruto?

Years had passed and another Christmas soon arrived. The same old coldness settled by.

The disparity was this man who came from the blizzard outside. His eyes met mine. He was my brother from our clan.

Those years, I've longed for him. Now I should be happy, he was there, wasn't he?

I hugged him. He hugged me too.

You were smiling for me, Naruto, congratulating me from afar.

At least you were glad for my own contentment.

If waiting for me makes you stupid,
Then I'm the worst for leaving.

Then we had to leave.

We couldn't be together, that was what he said. You were not a family, so why should we?

Two drops of tears spoke for me but my brother stood untiring, he said it was for me.

You said it was nothing, and you understood but I was frightened you'd forget my name and my hold.

At least I could make you think of me so I promised I'd return.

'In three years I would be back, here in our little playground.'

I told you to wait, but no, I think I begged.

You just smiled in return and showed no traces of tears. You were glowing in the dark, Naruto, brighter than anything else.

Three years, Naruto. Just wait for my return.

Yes. I told you that.

Five years has gone and I'm not yet back.
But hey, are you still waiting, for a bastard like me?

Now it's been five, and I'm not yet back. Please bear for a little longer, and then I will accept any smack.

I won't blame you, I am late. I am ready to compensate.

Please forgive my incompetence, dobe, and I know that you will.

I know I'm late.
But please, do wait.

It's true that I love my brother, but it's not enough to keep me any longer.

Naruto.

My love for you is two times stronger.

I will be back soon, and I mean it if it's you.

But if happy days could end, then so does the gloomy days…
Now Naruto, let me end your misery, but as for now, just wait. After that, let's celebrate.

Please wait for me at our playground. Sit on the bench so you won't get tired.

Lie on it if you're sleepy, and dream of me as you does.

Do not forget me. Etch my name on your mind.

Once I'm back I'll wake you from your dream, whisper the words that I was saving for you.

Thank you, my dead-last…
You thought me how to smile, and even how to cry…

I love you, dead-last, there are no doubts about that.

I'm ready to confess, if you haven't realized.

Now dobe, wait for me.

I'll be on my journey.

You thought me two things I never knew.
