I hate what I see in the mirror

I Don't Know Anymore

Sasuke's POV-

I awoke the next day with Naruto by my side. It was a school day and my body was used to waking up early, turns out so was Naruto's, as he woke up a few minutes after me.

"Good Morning… Sasuke."
He purred as he got up off the couch from where he had been laying and came over to me. Who was sitting at the middle counter. 
""Huh?.. Sasuke! Y-you're eating!"
I guess he noticed. I woke up this morning and was famished, so I made myself a bowl of cereal.

"Yeah. I-I was hungry."
I slightly mumbled.

"Hey, that 's great!"
He said, stroking my hair a few times before going and getting himself a bowl as well.

He came and sat down across from me with his own bowl before he started talking.
"Okay so me and you are going to stay home today an-"
He was cut off by the sound of his phone buzzing.
"Ah, shit."
He mumbled under his breath but I heard him.

"What is it? Is something wrong?"
I asked as he read the text on his phone.

"No nothings wrong, just Kakashi wants to talk to me about stuff. So I'll have to leave right after breakfast to go talk to him. But I shouldn't be gone for all that long so it shouldn't throw off our plans too much."
He said as he put his phone down and kept eating.

"Allright."
I said with a small smile. I had fun with him last night so I trust whatever plans he has for today.

We made small talk over breakfast until he had to leave. He gave me a hug then he was off.

I, on the other hand, finished my breakfast and started playing some video games. I had my phone sitting on one side of me and my new cat plushie on the other, the plushie was tucked under my elbow as I played. Eventually I felt the need to use the bathroom. So I paused my game, leaving my plushie and taking my phone with me. I was washing my hands when my phone vibrated. I dried my hands and picked up my phone to see who it was that was texting me.
It was Sakura. I was half tempted to ignore what she sent me but when I saw that it was an image I was curious.
I opened my phone and opened her contacts. I could not believe what I saw. It was a picture of me and Naruto last night, when he was carrying me to our dorm.
I froze. How did she get this picture?! Why would she send it to me?! Was she planning on telling people?! Was she planning on telling… father?!
The last thought sent me into a panic. My chest tightened in on itself, making it almost impossible to breathe. I felt light headed, almost like I was going to pass out. I leaned against the counter and slowly slid to the floor.
I saw that she was typing.

Sakura- man I didn't know you were a faggot

I panicked and tried to think of a response.

Sasuke- I'm not!

Sakura- that's not what it looks like to me!

Sasuke- I don't care what it looks like to you! That's not what happened!

Sakura- would your dad believe that if I showed him this?

My breath hitched as I read her last text. She was right though. If she showed this to father, he would believe the picture over my word. He would kill me. I- I don't want to get punished by him again! Not again! Anything, anything but that!

Tears pricked my eyes as the memories of my last punishment came to mind. It was a nightmare. The scars from it still haven't faded on my back yet. When father is angry he doesn't know how to stop. He used barbed wire, he wiped me until I passed out from the pain. I don't want to feel that again. That was only for a small thing, what would he do to me for something like this? I don't even want to imagine. I'm scared!
