Naruto and Sasuke stood in the middle of the academy grounds, hugging tightly underneath the sparkling moon. Naruto was slowly rubbing his tears away, gripping tightly onto Sasuke's black jumper with his other hand. He knew this moment was not going to last, once he let go he would be sent spiralling back down to reality.
Sasuke moved back from their intimate hug to look into Naruto's tear filled eyes.
"Naruto, are you okay? What's going on?"
Naruto swallowed down a pile of hot pain he felt in his throat, as he did so he felt his vision blur once again from the continuous tears which fled away from his eyes. He knew he needed to control himself, calm down and take a step back from Sasuke.
He walked towards his swing, grasping onto the worn-out rope. He used it to balance his wobbly and unstable body, clinging tightly onto the torn-out rope as if it were some sort of life line. He didn't want to turn back and look Sasuke in the eye. He couldn't.
How could he tell him anything that was going on? It would be terrible news for him, 'oh so I like you, but we could never be together because I don't want to tear my family apart, but I feel nothing towards my wife and everything is turning into a pile of shit.'
Nope, he definitely was not going to say that to him.
Naruto's thoughts were interrupted when he heard Sasuke start to walk towards him, his body suddenly stiffened in anticipation.
He didn't know how to tell Sasuke that he could only be platonic? This was killing him because he knew he was falling so hard for the man who was currently a foot away.
Naruto could feel Sasuke's body warmth brush against his. Every hair in his body jumped up in response, reaching for that warmth.
He was confused when he felt that heat drift away, he quickly turned to see where Sasuke went.
A quick look around and he spotted the black-haired beauty.
"Naruto, come sit with me."
Naruto knew he should keep his distance, act platonically. But any form of conscious decisions were chucked out of his mind ages ago. He stepped forward to were Sasuke was sitting on a patch of grass. He took a seat next to him, making sure there was enough distance between them.
Naruto turned his gaze to Sasuke who was looking up towards the twinklingly sky, radiating elegance and beauty underneath the moon light.
Naruto had known Sasuke was extremely handsome since they were young, he had the entire academy gushing over him. But Naruto never knew the pure beauty and angelic nature to Sasuke's facial features, until that very moment.
*The talk*
Sasuke started to open his mouth, as if to say something. But he quickly shut his mouth. He then looked at Naruto with a confused and shy look in his eye.
"Look Naruto, I'm here to listen, I'm not excellent with advice but I can at least listen."
Naruto was relaxing into his position on the grass, he knew Sasuke was trying to help, but Naruto couldn't tell him.
"Look Sasuke, I really do appreciate you trying to help, but I don't think you can help me out right now."
Sasuke looked into Naruto's eyes with a hint of anger lurking within them.
"Naruto, why can't I help you!?"
Sasuke's voice was raising in slight announce, Naruto could feel him trying to restrain himself from not quickly losing his temper.
Naruto started to look around the dark scenery, trying to avoid any form of eye contact with Sasuke.
"Sasuke, I... I really can't tell you. It's very personal. And it's just something I can't share with you."
