Better Love

I am writing this because, yet again, I have gotten a writer's block with Striped Soul.

I suck.

Oh well, I'll still post onto that one, but I'm going to be writing this one as well. I have been reading a lot of Naruto fanfic's lately and I really like the ItaNaru and the SasuNaru. I barely ever watch the actual anime anymore, but I still love reading the fanfics.

I got this idea after reading one fanfic today and it just popped into my head. This will not follow any events of the anime or manga, so don't read this if you want something like that, okay?

I'm writing this at 4:25 PM (What, not crazy late? :O)

Chapter 1

Naruto was amazing in the younger ravens eyes. The blond boy was cheerful, bright, could brighten anyone's day, and somehow stay innocent after all these years. The only one who ever had the privilege to see the tears which never met anyone else's vision was Sasuke Uchiha, the very boy who was lost in thought of the bright boy right now.

The two boys were in their 1st year of high school and were in the same class ever since their 2nd year of grade school. Perhaps that was just pure luck, or maybe the teacher's noticed that in their 1st year of grade school they were always alone and never had any friends until they were put in that class together.

No one knew, and no one questioned it.

The bell had just gone signaling lunch and Naruto was sitting on his desk talking with two of the blonds and the raven-haired boy's friends; Hinata and Kiba. They had made friends with these two in their 2nd year of middle school, and had been put in the same class as the two this year.

Sasuke observed the bright boy's smile; it was as bright as ever, as though Naruto hadn't gone through one of his break downs again the night before.

-Flash back-

Naruto had come knocking on Sasuke's door at 2:58 AM. Sasuke knew it was the blond since by now the raven could tell apart Naruto's late-night knocks from anyone else's. Mainly because no one else ever dared to knock on Sasuke's front door this late at night.

The raven opened his door to see none other than the blond boy with tears filling the corners of his eyes, running down his face, and stains on the skin of the back of his hands. Naruto was shaking and rubbing at his already puffy red eyes with his hands; about ready to collapse.

Sasuke pulled the crying boy into his arms, rubbing the boy's back while gently shutting the door with his foot. Leading the shaking boy into the raven's room the more stable boy chanted soothing words; "It's okay, you're fine now. Everything will be alright. Whatever he did will clear up, he still loves you. No one hates you," Sasuke sat Naruto down on the soft bed while shutting the bedroom door behind them. The second the raven sat down the now crying ball of sunshine fell back into his arms.

A gentle hand stroked the blond hair while tears damped the chest of the raven's shirt. Breaths hitched in the throat of the crying boy while small words tried to escape the frowning lips.

"Why does he do this? Does he not know how much I love him? I tell that man I love him every day when we wake up and when we go to sleep, so how could he not know?" Small gasps for air hitched in the boy's throat while he spoke.

Sasuke was ashamed of his brother for causing this young boy to cry. This was why he moved out of the family house and lived on his own, so he wouldn't have to be close to that disgusting man who took everything for granted. Even this beautiful ball of sunshine.

"I'm sure Itachi knows how much you love him. I don't understand why he does this either. He probably got drunk and fucked up. Itachi probably thought that person was you," Sasuke called out false hopes to the crying boy trying to comfort him. Though the younger Uchiha knew the elder knows full-well just what he did. It made the young raven disgusted. 'How could that man do this to my little ray of light? Does he not know what he has? How lucky he is?'

Sasuke glared at the wall while being disgusted by thoughts of Itachi cheating on Naruto with some other person.

The raven was snapped out of it when he felt a small nod on his chest, then the feeling of Naruto calming himself in Sasuke's arms while slowly drifting to his dream world.

Sasuke sighed while gently laying Naruto down on his bed. He then tucked the puffy eyed boy in, grabbed an extra pillow and blanket out of his closet and headed into the living-room to sleep on the couch. "I can't believe Naruto could put up with this for these two years…" The raven haired boy mumbled to himself while pulling the covers over his body and lying down.

-Flash back end-

Naruto caught sight of the slightly worried look in the young raven's eyes and sent him a smile. Sasuke jumped a little when he realized he was lost in thoughts of last night and numerous other occasions like that and snapped himself out of it. The raven stood up out of his seat and went over to the trio to join the conversation.

After School

All of Sasuke's and Naruto's friends had already headed off onto the bus or to walk home and Sasuke was waiting for Naruto to get his stuff together so they could head towards their homes. Sasuke did move away from Itachi, but due to the fact that Naruto was living with the elder raven the younger one decided to only live a few blocks away so that if anything happened he could get to Naruto quickly or Naruto could get to Sasuke quickly. This was a very good decision on Sasuke's part seeing as incidents similar to last nights' had happened on far too many occasions in the past year.

The blond finally got his books together and his shoes on and so the two childhood friends started their way home.

Once the two reached Itachi's home Naruto stopped, smiled, and waved to Sasuke. "I'll see you later Sasuke!" The now energetic boy called to the raven, which caused the raven to stop walking and turn around to look at the other.

"You're going back there?"

The blond nodded his head.

"Why?"

Naruto just blinked in confusion. "Why not? This is where I live." Naruto let out a small laugh.

Sasuke then remembered; this happened every single time. The raven shook his head slightly to himself and thought to himself the same question he has been asking for the past year: 'Does Naruto have some sort of memory-loss?'

Brushing it aside yet again, Sasuke just waved to the smiling boy while turning around and calling out "Alright, if anything happens, you know where to come!" and walked away.

Naruto just nodded and headed into the front door of the house that stood next to him.

Chapter 1 End

So, what do you think? This is kind of a little introductory to my new story. I finished it at 6:00 PM.

I hope you guys like it and please review. I love to get any response.

I'll even take criticism as long as it's constructive. If you're just going to post something like "You suck at writing!" or "This sucks, you're stupid, I could write ten times better than you!" then I don't want to hear/read it.

I'll post the next chapter shortly, I promise. I'm getting really into this story~!

Anyways, please review and you will see the next chapter soon!

~See you soon~

~Kaze~
