Naruto Drabble:ACT I
Never Gunna Give You Up
He’s on one knee, clasping both of my hands in his. Bright blue eyes sparkle with anticipation.
“Yes,” I give him my answer. The answer. The only answer.
“Oh Sasuke, thank you so much!” he bellows, shaking my hands, “I’ll get you the best ring ever, I swear I will. N-no more ramen until I save up!”
“Get up, Naruto.”
He stands, yanking me into his arms and sobbing. I return the embrace, patting his back as if to calm an infant.
“Ssh…It’s alright,” the only words I can think of to say. I’m not sure what’s alright, but they seem like decent enough syllables.
“I’m not sad,” he hiccoughs, “I’m really, really happy!”
He squeezes me hard, his smiling cheeks stained by tears. A warm moisture tickles my cheek then. I’m crying, too. I squeeze shut the eyes that betray me, holding him close. His roughened hand finds my cheek and wipes away the tears.
“I feel like I should kiss you,” he says in a surprisingly quiet voice. I’m not arguing and, as his lips meet mine, a flood of regret forces more tears from my eyes. A thousand and one thoughts cloud my mind, choking off any happiness I might feel. I don’t deserve him. I don’t deserve happiness. I’ve never been happy, why start now? Guilt, regret, weakness…! I can’t escape it.
“Sasuke…!” he shakes me, “What’s wrong? What’s going on?!”
“I can’t…” are the only words that form. I love him. I need to love him. Without him I am nothing, lost in a darkness of my own creation. My sin separates me from his righteousness. I know it can’t work. He doesn’t care. He knows nothing of sin or darkness, only light and warmth are in his heart.
“You know that’s not true, Sasuke,” he growls, “I’m following my heart and my nindo. Both of them are telling me to protect you.”
Naruto and his nindo. I guess I’m not about to get in the way of that. The answer remains yes. I’m ready now, ready to give my whole heart to him…To leave behind my guilt and sins. I’d do anything for him. I guess it’s always been this way, it’s just taken this long for me to realize it.
(Drabble never gets old, does it? Nope. Next up…Could it be Kakashiruka? One never knows.)
