The Mist of the Mind
May of 2028
6:00 AM - The first darkness.
A/N: Surely four months isn't that long! Right..?
Mysteries,
That's just about everything summed up in one word. It's a scary concept Naruto and Sasuke still have yet to fully explore.
The time of dawn arrived, but the crack of light never came. The sight of heavy skies and the blur of passing greenery is all too familiar to Sasuke and Naruto. Their journey is almost like a loop that will never end. They'll drive over and over again, only to never get to their destination.
That feeling washed over them because once again, they're on the ATV, on the road.
Traveling.
The atmosphere is quiet. Naruto probably appreciates it, but Sasuke doesn't like the silence. As he holds onto Naruto, he listens to the wind pass by them as he hesitantly watches his back. Too quiet for Sasuke's liking. It's becoming unbearable. Naruto's quiet. Without their constant bickering, it feels so unusual to Sasuke.
If this was when they first met, it wouldn't be a shocker. But now with all the stuff that happened; the mockery, the talks they had that made Naruto agitated as hell, and yet still dealt with it, it makes him wonder;
Out of all of these catastrophes,
Did he do something wrong this time?
Sasuke's frantic hand slipped from underneath the latch immediately when he heard Naruto's condescending voice. Fuck, he definitely thinks Sasuke's up to something.
"Naruto, listen. I–"
"You what, Sasuke? Tell me. What is all of this?"
"Wait, stop it. Don't jump to conclusions. This isn't what it looks like."
"I'm not. What makes you think I am? It's oddly suspicious of you that you think that, all I asked is what you're doing with this fucking latch."
"I just found it!" Sasuke put his hands up in a gesture like he was being arrested. "Alright? Trust me when I say I have zero clue on what it is."
Sasuke got up, not taking his eyes off of the weird mechanic. Naruto said nothing as he watched Sasuke in motion, his eyes squinted and eyebrows furrowed a little.
"And besides, I have a pretty damn good guess on what you're thinking, that uneasy look on your face says it all."
Naruto's expression just confirmed his theory. Naruto grudgingly looked away. Maybe he did jump a little too far. What even was that thing?
