Flowers, tattoos and I love you's

13.aster pt.2*

Hi, guys here is this week's chapter. It's a little shorter than usual because this was supposed to be in the last chapter but if I added it, it would be too long. I spent so much time on this one, I wasn't liking anything so I kept deleting it, but a certain bitch told me to stop and just post it so here it is. I hope you enjoy it. :)

Blue eyes widened in shock as he observed the brown spot on the bed.

Alarmed, he turned to Sasuke, searching for an explanation. "Sasuke, what is this? Is that blood? Are you injured?" His voice trembled with concern.

"N-no." The raven's nerves skyrocketed as he stammered nervously, his mind racing to find a way out of this situation. Lying about a relapse crossed his mind, but it felt wrong, and he knew Naruto would demand to see the cuts. His breathing quickened as he realized the weight of the consequences, and the perplexed expression on Naruto's face only heightened his anxiety. The truth was inevitable. He would have to tell Naruto about being intersex.

Naruto moved closer to the raven, taking a seat on the desk chair and placing his hands on Sasuke's knees. He could feel the tremors coursing through his boyfriend's body beneath his touch. "Hey baby, calm down. I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to know what's going on so I can help you," he said, pressing a gentle kiss on Sasuke's clothed knee.

Sasuke couldn't deny the fear coursing through him. The thought of revealing his truth to Naruto terrified him. Would Naruto scream at him? Would he hate him? Would their relationship end abruptly? Would Naruto be disgusted and call him a freak, just like his father had done?

Tears streamed down Sasuke's face, breaking him out of his trance. "Hey, hey, hey, baby, talk to me, please," Naruto pleaded, his voice filled with concern.

"I-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," He gasped, panicked breaths interrupting his words. "P-please don't hate me." The discomfort in his lower stomach only added to the pain in his heart. He couldn't bear the thought of Naruto hating him. His parents' disdain had already scarred him deeply, and if Naruto joined in that sentiment, he didn't know how he would cope.

"Baby, I could never hate you because—" Because I love you, he wanted to say. He longed to utter those words, to comfort and reassure Sasuke that no matter what happened, his love for him would remain steadfast. But he held back for now, wanting to ensure they were on the same page before expressing those emotions. "Because you mean the world to me. I'm here with you, everything's fine, and it will be fine after you tell me. I promise," he reassured, rubbing Sasuke's thigh in a soothing motion. "Did you relapse? Is that it?"

"N-no, no. It's nothing like that," He denied immediately.

"Then tell me, please. Why are you crying, baby? Was it something I did?" He kissed his knee again before gently taking hold of his hand, squeezing it lightly to convey reassurance.

Sasuke bit the inside of his cheek and let out a shuddering sigh as tears streamed down his flushed cheeks, fighting to regulate his breathing. "No, it's not you. You are perfect, the problem is me, I'm not normal."

"You can tell me anything, Sas. Whatever it is, we'll go through it together." He assured once again, kissing his knuckles.

"I-" he began, his voice choked with emotion. "I'm intersex," he whispered, forcing the words out, overwhelmed by shame and the fear of Naruto's reaction. "The blood... it's because I am on my period," he confessed, forcing himself to meet Naruto's gaze when the soothing motion on his thigh ceased. His black eyes were blurry and glistening with tears, waiting for Naruto's response — shock, confusion, realization — or perhaps a combination of all three. "I know I'm disgusting, and I understand if you want to break up with me and—"
