《Finally Happy》Chapter 21
Advertisement
Okay so this chapter basically is what I intended to write in the last chapter. So this is for you, since you wanted another chapter dedicated to you.
'I really love him... Don't I?' Naruto thought as he laid on the couch, cuddling into a ball on his side. Naruto nuzzled his blonde head into the cushion and silently began crying.
'Good job idiot. You fall in love with the one person who you shouldn't be in love with. Great fucking job.' The blonde internally bashed himself. He let himself cry louder, sobbing out all the pain he felt in his heart. He clutched the cushion tighter and wept. He felt his heart constrict.
Constrict at the thought of Sasuke.
Everything memory of them together. When they were friends,when they were enemies... and now. It made his heart hurt. Every single thought about the raven made him want to breakdown.
His sobs began to cease and the tears began to stop until the blonde was just a ruffled, sniffling ball.
'Stupid Sasuke. Making my head hurt.' Naruto grumbled. He grabbed the blanket that was on the other end of the couch and tucked himself in. Getting himself comfortable, Naruto began to dreamlessly sleep.
At school
"Ugh... When will this day end?"
Looking at the sea of students walking through the hallways, all the noise and commotion made Sasuke's already crappy mood even worse. All he wanted to do was to go home and be with Naruto.
'Wonder what he's doing? Being the dobe he is, probably stuffing on ramen and sleeping.' Sasuke laughed to himself. He made his way over to the men's washroom. Opening the doors, he entered and made his way over to the sinks to wash his hands and face. The sound of the running water covered his ears. His mind could faintly register the door opening.
"Uchiha."
Sasuke raised his head to look into the mirror. There, standing behind him was Neji. Sasuke just tiredly sighed.

"Is there something you want?" Sasuke grimly asked.
"You love that loser don't you?" Neji asked, eyes narrowing at Sasuke's back.
Sasuke stood there quietly, not reacting. There was no use denying it really. Neji looked convinced. Lying about it would just... spiral out of control again.
"Yeah I do. What's it to you?" The raven said in a monotone voice. From the mirror, he could see Neji's eyes widening.
"So all that bullshit you did... That was all an act?"
Sasuke closed his eyes and dropped his head down.
"Yeah. It was all an act. Something I'm not proud of. It's something I regret. If I could, I would take everything back but I can't."
Neji stayed silent, taking in all what Sasuke was saying.
"Do you think he could ever love you? After what you did? Believe me Sasuke, you don't have a chance in hell." The pale-eyed boy said arrogantly.
Sasuke sadly looked up again into the mirror, looking at himself. His hands trembled a little, his eyes reflecting all the pain he felt keeping in the love he felt for Naruto in his heart for years. Those onxy eyes dulled with sadness.
Sadness knowing, his angel could never love him.
"I know Neji." Sasuke whispered brokenly, walking away from the mirror, back into the hallways.
Back at the Uchiha home
"Nii-San, I'm back." Sasuke said as he entered. Hearing no noise in return, Sasuke raised an eyebrow. Looking at the wooden counter beside him, he saw a note.
Had to go take care of something. Dinner is in the fridge. Don't molest Naruto, he is sleeping. -Itachi
Sasuke crushed the note and threw it in the trashcan. 'Stupid Nii-san.' Walking up the stairs to his room, he saw Naruto wasn't there.
'Dobe's probably in the living room.'
Changing into some comfortable sweatpants and a shirt, he made his way downstairs into the living room. Walking inside, he saw the blonde sleeping tranquilly. Sasuke smiled lovingly and made his way over to the blonde. Looking closer, he saw dried tears tracks down Naruto's whiskered cheeks and slightly puffy eyes. The raven frowned. His fingers brushed over Naruto's soft face, gently wiping away the residues of the tears. Cupping the tan face, the raven bent down to kiss his love's forehead.

"I love you..." Sasuke quietly whispered. Naruto's eyes began to twitch and open. Sasuke sensing this, straightened himself. The blonde open his sleep-induced eyes and saw Sasuke staring down at him.
1..2..3..
"ACK! Teme! Stop staring at me like some creep!" Naruto shouted, a deep red blush over his face.
"Stop hogging the couch the dobe." Sasuke smirked, seeing Naruto flustered and angry. Naruto just glared at the raven and moved his legs of the couch. Sasuke sat next to Naruto and kept his head down, looking at the floor. Naruto's blue eyes looked at Sasuke from the corner, realising something was bothering him.
"Are you okay?" Naruto softly asked, turning to look at the raven. Sasuke turned his head and gave Naruto a sad smile.
"Just dealing with unrequited love dobe." Naruto's eyes widened and saddened at the reality that Sasuke was in love with someone else.
"Unrequited? All the girls love you teme! There's nothing called unrequited love in your life!" Naruto tried to laugh to cover up the agony he was feeling inside. Sasuke smirked painfully...
"Whoever said it was a girl dobe. Don't assume things."
Naruto's blue eyes widened. 'Sasuke... likes a boy?' Blue eyes looked at the raven softly. Naruto huddled closer to Sasuke and hugged him from the side, his blonde head lying on Sasuke's shoulder.
"Tell him. You won't know unless you tell him... whoever he is." Naruto whispered sadly. "Don't assume things." The blonde said, throwing Sasuke's words back at him.
Sasuke's stiffened. The feeling of Naruto close to him like this, his bony body enveloping in a warm hug, those sympathetic words soothing him...
"Even if it's guy, I'm pretty sure he would return your love." Naruto whispered, small tears gathering in his eyes while piece by piece...
.
Sasuke smiled sadly at Naruto's words. 'Naruto will always be Naruto. Always caring. Always compassionate.'
"I don't think so dobe." Sasuke said affectionately, wrapping his arm around Naruto's waist to bring him closer. Looking forward, his onxy eyes glazed in tenderness.
"Who is it?" Naruto doubtfully asked, not wanting to know, not being able to take that agony.
Sasuke looked over to Naruto, just seeing a mass of blonde hair. Sasuke couldn't answer. He couldn't reveal it.
"Hey, want to watch a movie?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto sighed both in relief and in exasperation. Not wanting to push Sasuke into saying anything, he nodded. The raven got up and walked over to the cabinet full of movies. Picking one, he made his way to the T.V and got everything set up. Turning around, he saw his blonde looking down sadly. He sat down next to his blonde and covered him with the blanket that was laying there. Naruto just snuggled into the blanket and said a quick 'thank you'.
Halfway through the movie, Naruto fell asleep, laying his head on the armrest. Sasuke looked over and laughed. Switching off the movie, he proceeded to pick Naruto up into his arms and made his way to their room like he does nearly every day. Tucking him in the bottom bunk bed, he silently stared at his secret love.
"I'm so happy I have you back in my life Naruto. Even if we can't be more than friends." He said. Switching off the lights, he walked outside and closed the door silently. He leaned back and slipped down to the floor and finally cried all the tears he was holding back.
My exams are next week, so I will probably be updating on starting from the 18th. So please be patient. Thanks for reading xD
