[FINISHED] The Past Mistake (A SasuNaru FanFiction)

EPILOGUE

Sasuke stared at the entrance of the hospital from his car through the rolled down the mirror. Both hands were holding onto the steering wheel. From staring, he was starting to zone out. He was now at the point of his life of where he had everything. Compared to the state he was in a few months ago to now, it was totally different. Then, he was having a monotone life by waking up in the morning, went to work, went to the coffee shop brooding, before he went back to home. Every single day, the schedule was the same. He couldn't really call it as his home when it was cold and lonely. Being alone was okay but lonely was another story. There was no time of solitude existed.

He had never actually dreamt to actually get the love of his life back again after the mistake he had done in the past. To think that at this point in life, he would actually turn his life back to normal. He had his own house, he got an enormous amount of money, few cars, and even his love. And he actually never dreamt of being in a car waiting for his significant other, like he was doing right now, ever again.

The thought brought smile to his usually emotionless face.

The smile disappeared as fast as it had come. He was happy, he couldn't deny the feeling, but at the same time, he felt strange inside. No matter how he convinced himself that he didn't need to worry when he had Naruto by himself now, he just couldn't cast the strange feeling away.

He looked on the steering wheel before he looked back at the entrance again where Naruto made his way to his car with a smile. Sure, he already had Naruto by his side again, but he couldn't deny the feeling that it wasn't enough, but he just couldn't grasp what the feeling was, and it wasn't a good one, and he didn't like it. Naruto was his, but another wrong move he felt like he could lose the blonde man, again. When he thought that Naruto was the only one he ever wanted in his life to fill his empty heart, his mere existence was not enough to fill the hole. He must be selfish, but he just couldn't lie.

"Hey," came a greeting of a husky voice after the owner situated himself on the passenger seat by fasting the seatbelt. "How was your day?" Naruto asked with a soft smile and warmth that was enough to make Sasuke fluttered.

The gesture was gentle coming from Naruto. He knew that the man was originally a type of the tough one and was very energetic. Well, Naruto could be a sweetheart, too, but the Naruto he knew who would insult him or the energetic, and tough one was gone. It was like he was keeping his sweet image toward him.

For the first few days when he had started to feel the strange feeling, he always convinced himself that maybe he was just too paranoid, and maybe that they were all grown-ups and they had started to behave like responsible adult now setting aside the goofiness and saving up the energy because of responsibilities, thus casting the bad feeling aside, as he thought it wasn't really necessary. But then the thoughts had started to eat him alive as a result of him losing focus on his work. He spent most of his time zoning out than actually working instead.

"Nothing much, just some headaches I called my employees. How's yours?" He finally asked and drove off after making sure that Naruto's seatbelt was fastened in a right way. He didn't forget to ask where Naruto wanted to eat for dinner before they began their drive.

It was always the same to them, every single day, after Naruto's birthday at Yoyogi Park two months ago until now. They would go to work. Sasuke would pick Naruto up and dropped him off at the hospital. After that, Sasuke would pick Naruto up again and the two would eat their dinner out together, and then they would part ways. It was always like that for about two months now.

There was this saying that life is about its ups and downs, just like breathing. If there was no ups and downs, then that meant death. Their relationship was monotone. They never argued nor got to spend time together more than a day, let alone five hours straight. It could mean one thing, that their relationship had long been dead. At first, he thought that it was just the new beginning that they would eventually get used to it and would turn normal as they were a few years ago. But as time passed by, their relationship never progressed nor going anywhere.
