Love In The Blood Prison | Sasunaru/Narusasu

Final Verdict: 1/2

Sasuke hasn't said anything to me since that day. My birthday, once again, is coming up.

I expected him to do something about it early on, but he hasn't been talking to me. Not even when we cuddle here and there.

Something is wrong.

"Sasuke?" I murmur into his ear from behind. I had climbed down from my bed to lay with him on his futon.

"Hm?" He says, not completely awake to drink in anything important or realize what's going on.

"Is the device on your ankle uncomfortable?"

He turns his head to look me in the eyes, grogginess laced in his gaze like a sailor after a drinking feast. "Kind of."

"Can I be little spoon this time then?"

I sometimes kick his device in my sleep so I had to make sure. I know how much he dislikes being uncomfortable when he needs his sleep.

"Whatever..." He turns his head back around as I clumsily roll over him to lie in front of him. "Can you not do that?"

"It's much faster."

He sighs, not wanting to argue with me. "Sure, alright. Go back to sleep."

I try to go to sleep but I can't. Sasuke is barely holding me. It's like he doesn't want to.

"Tell me, Sasuke... Do you actually love me?"

Sasuke turns over to his other side, covering his head with the cover. "Goodnight, Naruto."

Why is he so dismissive toward me?

"Sasuke, just tell me..."

"Good-night."

I sit up and comb my fingers through my hair, sighing heavily. "Sure, Sasuke. Goodnight."

[Sasuke's POV]

I wake up to the sound of blaring sirens somewhere in the distance. I try to ignore them, pretending they're not there until an announcement catches my attention;

"This is not a drill. Naruto Uzumaki has been weaponized by Danzo. I repeat, Naruto Uzumaki has been weaponized by Danzo. Be safe and follow protocol. Thank you."

My heart hurts as I stumble downstairs to Kushina, seeing her crying on the couch. I hesitate, wondering if she thinks I'm behind this.

She meets my gaze and I flinch, wondering if I made a mistake coming down here. She doesn't say anything for a few seconds and then pats the couch beside her, smiling reassuringly.

I slowly make my way to her and sit down, tensing when she wraps an arm around me. She holds me close and rubs my arm, sniffing.

"Why didn't you tell us someone had invaded Konoha?" She whispers as if someone might hear us.

"I thought you would have been thinking I was behind it all."

"Is that why you didn't tell us about Naruto?"

"Someone was watching my every move. If I said anything, I would've endangered Konoha."

"The Akatsuki has been defeated, right?"

"The Akatsuki has someone with Rinnegan. They travel through space and come back. Nothing can stop them except death."
