A Text A Day Keeps The Demons At Bay- N/S

Text Message- 13

~Naruto’s p.o.v~

Fuck.

Well, that was unexpected. When he said tough one I didn’t think he meant THIS! Everything was going great, I don’t understand. Was that the plan the whole time, did he just ease me into the whole game and then ask what he really wanted the whole time? I don’t even know how to respond, I can’t necessarily tell him the truth, now can I.

I look back at my phone to see he said something else.

Emo Elsa ❄- Cat got your tongue Dobe?

You all of a sudden stopped responding, is everything ok?

—
He… is he taunting me?

I guess it’s to be expected, when someone who was asked an interrogating question doesn’t respond for more than two minutes , especially when they’ve been on top of all previous messages the whole time.

You- Sorry, my phone is dying and I had to search for the charger before it died

Emo Elsa ❄- Your phone was dying.

You- It was at 5 percent so, ya

—
Way to convince him, Naruto. Way to convince.

[5:49]

Emo Elsa ❄- You never answered the question, Naruto

—
Shit. This is going downhill really fast.

[5:50]

You- Oh right 😅

Well, you’re right about that. 

I was lying.

[5:51]

Emo Elsa ❄- Hm, I figured

But why would you lie to me? I thought even though we met just recently that you could trust me enough to tell me the truth

—
Dammit Sasuke! Stop making me feel guilty!

[5:52]

You- I really am sorry, Sasuke

Can I explain myself?

Emo Elsa ❄- Please do

I was actually going to ask you anyways

You- Well that’s good at least 😅

So, it’s kinda hard to explain without you being here for hours, so I’ll just keep it short, okay?

[5:53]

Emo Elsa ❄- Yeah, ok

You- So, yes I did lie to you that day about my mom and the groceries

In reality, I actually don’t have a mother to get the groceries

[5:54]

You- … if you don’t understand what I’m saying, I’m telling you that my mother is no longer living

Emo Elsa ❄- Oh
