Bittersweet

Chapter 1

As soon as Sasuke caught his bearings he jumped from the stool he was perched on and started after the troubled youth who had, surprisingly, left his line of sight after only a few seconds.

Naruto was almost to his apartment when Sasuke finally caught on and came after him. When he reached his, tiny but big enough for one person, home he ran inside, completely forgetting to close the front door, and headed straight for the bathroom. The instant he entered the decently sized washroom he ran straight for the shower, turning it on instantly and almost toppling over into the large tub. As the water ran from the shower head above Naruto turned to the toilet. The boy grasped onto the sides of the porcelain seat and leaned over, vomit threatening to come up any second.

Why did he let Sasuke torture him so? Why did this bother him so much? Any other time someone made a rude comment about him or gave him a lewd gesture, he brushed it off, but for some reason when Sasuke spoke those words, it felt as if his heart had stopped. Perhaps it was because Naruto secretly had a crush on him . . . Ever since that day they accidentally kissed. The two of them had seemed disgusted, but Naruto was faking it, I guess he thought Sasuke was to . . . But he had been proved VERY earlier that day.

Upon this realization Naruto shook his head, trying to shake the events of that day out of his mind. It didn’t work so the blonde just turned back and walked towards the shower. He slowly reached his hand in to test the water. It was scolding but Naruto didn’t seem to care as he started stripping himself of his clothes. With a pile of his garments now on the floor he carefully entered the shower and stepped under the scorching water.

When Sasuke reached the boys apartment building Naruto had just gotten into the shower, little to Sasuke’s knowing, and so the boy made his way to the Kyuubi boys apartment. As Sasuke was ascending the stairs to Naruto’s floor he could see that where Naruto’s door was supposed to be, it was not, discovering only seconds later that his door was open; before entering Sasuke curiously looked about the door frame and inside a bit, trying to see if it had been broken into, the thought that Naruto left it open himself not crossing his mind until he noticed nothing suspicious, and that the door was still fully intact. Cautiously, the raven haired boy stepped inside. He turned his head from side to side, noticing nothing of much interest . . .and unfortunately, not Naruto. Sasuke duly noted the emptiness of the apartment as he stepped in more for further examination, thinking the boy had left for someplace else until the sound of running water made it to his ears and he stopped.

Naruto watched as pink colored water ran from his leg to the drain, giving a spin before it disappeared down into darkness. The boy was holding a small razor blade in his hand, clenching it tightly as he watched his blood spill out from the middle of his outer thigh. It had not been the first time he’s done something like this, the proof of that was the many other scars that occupied the fresh slice he had just made. As he stared at this life giving substance going down the drain not even tears would come out anymore. He just stared, with watery eyes that would not spill over, with the pain in his leg slowly subsiding to numbness, and with hope that his blood would not stop . . . and he would soon be dead.

Sasuke had his bottom lip gently between his teeth as he gnawed on it nervously. The raven haired boy stealthily sneaked over to the boy’s bathroom and carefully peeked inside, to make sure the boy was OK of course, or at least that’s what he told himself. But when he noticed that the water was not clear like it was supposed to be, but with a tint red in it, he gasped and flung the door open “Naruto! Are you alright?!” He yelled, thinking the boy had been attacked and that’s why he was bleeding.

The blonde snapped instantly out of his day dream when he heard the scream and frantically pulled the shower curtain shut all the way as he yelled back “Sasuke! Stupid teme! What are you doing here?!” He quickly reached out of the shower, covering his lower half with the curtain, and grabbed a towel from atop his sink. The boy wrapped it around himself after turning the water off and stepped out to face Sasuke, with a most displeased look on his face.

Sasuke froze; he had expected something to be wrong with Naruto, not that he would be quick to retaliate to the boys alarming entrance. And when Sasuke saw that he was up and about, perfectly OK, his face softened and he looked away erasing all emotion that he had shown only moments before “I-Sorry . . .I thought you were hurt, I got worried. When you just ran off like that, then when your front door was wide open . . .and when I saw blood . . .” Sasuke had forgotten that for a moment. Naruto SEEMED fine, but Sasuke was sure there was blood in the shower. The blonde was not expecting Sasuke, one of the people he loathed the most at the moment, to care all of a sudden and come dashing after him in a fit of worry. The blonde gave him a look of distaste even though he was probably just as flustered as Sasuke was on the inside

“Well I wasn’t expecting you to just barge into my home” Naruto said through clenched teeth, he was still gripping the razor but held it tightly in his fist so the Uchiha boy would not see it. “Now, I’m fine . . .Don’t you think it’s time you should go then?” Naruto was more hinting at Sasuke to leave, not asking him if he wanted to, but nonetheless the boy didn’t budge.

With his now emotionless face Sasuke returned the glare Naruto had been giving him ever since his sudden entrance “Well sorry for worrying! Maybe if you don’t want people to care you shouldn’t act like you did just a moment ago at the ramen shop.” Sasuke scoffed “What did I ever do to you?”

When Naruto heard those words he tightened his grip around the razor and bit his lip with great strength so he wouldn’t really flip out on the boy before him as he dropped his head. But everything he wanted to say was buzzing around in his head. He didn’t want people to care? Naruto wanted people to care for him all his life, even one person would do, but no matter what he did everyone just treated him like trash. And what . . . What did Sasuke ever do to him?! He was just like all the others! Acting as if all Naruto was was an annoying little brat who only liked ramen and goofing off instead of trying to concentrate on more serious things like everyone else! Well he wasn’t like everyone else, more like the complete opposite! And yet that wasn’t a good enough excuse for him to not to be normal . . .It wasn’t his fault he was like this . . .

Sasuke’s eyes widened and he moved closer to the boy. Without realizing it, Naruto had squeezed the razor grasped in his hand a little too hard and blood was now seeping through the cracks between his clenched fingers. It dripped from his hand and now a decent sized puddle lie on the floor, but the boy didn’t seem to notice until Sasuke snapped him out of it. The Uchiha had grabbed onto the blonde’s shoulders and began to shake him furiously “What the hell is the matter with you?! And what the fuck is that?!” He asked, anger and worry showing very clearly now through his voice and across his face, but Naruto just stood there.

“Go home Sasuke” Was all he said before tossing the razor in the trash can behind him. He shoved passed the shocked Uchiha and exited the room. Leaving one flustered boy standing dumbfounded in his bathroom. Before Naruto got too far into the living room though Sasuke came running back out and grabbed the boy’s wrist with great strength, stopping him in his tracks.

The warmth from Sasuke’s hand as it gripped his own was almost enough to cause Naruto to break down in tears right then and there but he with held this feeling and only shook his head “Look, I just need time to cool down . . .Something happened today that I don’t want to talk about . . .I’ll be fine, OK? You can even come back later if you want . . .” Naruto didn’t want Sasuke to do that, but he would do anything to get the boy out at that moment, he didn’t know how much longer he was going to last.

A million questions flooded Sasukes mind but he soon realized that maybe it would be a better idea to ju- NO! What if he does something stupid? He had that razor for a reason and he highly doubted the blood in the shower was accidental so Sasuke stubbornly refused the Kyuubi boys offer and let go of his hand but came forward to stand in front of the boy. Naruto was not in the mood.

“I SAID GET OUT!!” The boy suddenly shouted, his voice was risen to new heights and it was obvious he wasn’t happy in the least. Without warning Naruto swiftly dipped down, raising his fist up at the same time to land a blow to the Uchihas stomach. With the force Naruto put behind the punch it raised the raven haired boy up into the air enough for Naruto to get in a brutal kick that knocked Sasuke out of his apartment and against the wall opposite his doorway.

When Sasuke stepped in front of the boy he was not expecting what he received. He now slid down the wall and landed on the floor with a small thud. His back leant back against the now dented surface and his arms lay limply at his side, his eyes were closed.

Naruto stood back up and walked over to the front door. He watched the Uchiha for a moment, knowing that what he had just done was wrong, Sasuke was only worried . . .but after what he had heard that day he was to hurt to care. The blonde dropped his head and closed the door, locking it this time.

A few moments later Sasukes eyes slowly opened and he blinked the blurriness from his eyes to see that he was in a hallway. His head hurt and so did the rest of his body . . . that’s when he remembered! Ramen, worry, empty apartment, shower, more worry, yelling, and then ass kicking. Sasuke narrowed his eyes, painfully returning to his upright position as he glared that the blonde’s door. This wasn’t over.
