Just Stay (Sasuke x Reader)

I held my knees close as I lean against the rough bark of the oak tree. I tried to hold back the tears but something in me snapped and the warm tears were set loose. I close my eyes as I cry. I bite my lip to stop me from screaming his name.

Sasuke. The one person I love. Sasuke the man who left his village to grow stronger. Sasuke, my dearest friend. He's the only one in this world who I love. Sure if you ask Sakura and Ino it's their love for his looks. To me he has endured a lot of pain and he has made a choice to avenge his family. I love him because he is strong and brave. He may be an ass sometimes but he has a goal and he will stick to it. He has a difficult time showing his emotions because of what he went through.

"Sasuke," I lowly whisper. I hug my knees and hide my face in my knees. All I want is to ease the burden on his shoulder and to be able to love him.

I don't know when I fell in love with him. When I met him I thought nithing of him. I thought he was some emo kid who hated everyone. That wasn't the case. When I heard his story I felt dor him. Watching your family being slaughtered in front of you. . .I can't fathom the pain. What makes him get up in the morning? To get out of his bed? I don't understand.

"Damn it!" I grip the top of my head. My heart burns. I watched Sasuke leave. The first time was hard enough but to see him go again is even harder.

"Y/N," hearing my name I glance up and my eyes widen. Standing before me. . . .

"Sasuke," I stare at him like it's the last time I'll see him.

"Why are you crying?" He asks as he sits in front of me.

"Because," I lower my head because I know he'll want the truth and he knows when I'm lying. "Watching you walk away was hard enough the first time. I can't see you go again."

"Why do you care?" He asks in a slightly harsh tone that makes me flinch.

"It doesn't matter," I grab a piece of my hair and start to play with it. I can't look at him. He's here and every bit of my body wants to throw myself on him. I want to touch him and love him.

"Hey," he grabs my chin and I look into his onyx eyes that somehow look not so dark. My gaze softens and a single tear rolls down my face. "Tell me."

"It's because I love you," I answer him. His hand cups my face and his thumb gently brushes away my tears. I see him give me a small smile and I smile back at him.

"I'm not the best at showing emotions," he says and his hand moves to poke my forehead and I gasp slightly. When we were kids he would tell me how Itachi would poke his head as a way to show he loved him. I guess it's the Uchiha way of saying 'I love you'. Why? Why me? "Do you understand?"

"Yes but why me?" I ask. He looks down and his hand leaves my cheek to hold my hand instead. "Sasuke?"

"Y/N ever since I met you, you've always looked at me as an equal. You never saw me other than that. Even now when I look into your precious E/C eyes I only see that," he answers. He intertwines his slender, and slightly cold, fingers into mine. I hold hod hand and my thumb brushes his hand. "You've always been there. You and Naruto have that in common. You have never left me but you've always repected me and understood me when I said that I had to kill Itachi." He pauses and I see a shimmering tear fall from his eyes.

"I understand that," I comment. "I've always understood you. Even when no one could I did. I hope you know I would and will do anything for you. I'm not a maid or a slave what I'm saying is that, well you know."

I watch him as he slowly looks up at me. I see remorse in his eyes and I know he's hurting. I would be too if I were in his shoes. I feel for him and all I want to do is hold him and comfort him. I guess that's my flaw because when I see someone hurting I just want to help. I lean forward and wrap my arms around him. In the process I let go of our intwined hands.

"Just lean on me," I whisper in his ear. I don't know what to say that will comfort him but he does as I asked. He slowly leans onto me. I didn't mean literally but whatever. He holds my body close to him and he cries into my chest. My fingers slide into his soft locks of hair and I do my best to comfort him.

After a while he stops and he leans back to where he can see my face. I notice his eyes are puffy and slightly red and I can see how vulnerable he is. "Thank you."

"Anytime," I smile wearily at him. I can't help but want to always be there for him.

"What's bothering you?" He asks.

"What?"

"What's bothering you? You look like you want to say something," he states.

"I do but I know the answer," I lazily explain.

"Just ask," he says.

"Let me come with you," somewhat ask. "Please."

". . ."

"Sasuke please," I beg with my lip quivering. My eyebrows foward as tears form in my eyes again. I know his answer and it hurts knowing he will be hurting alone.

"You know why you can't come," he says. His answer hurts even more somehow. A tears slips out of my eye and I fight the urge to scream and ball my eyes out.

"I know," I choke on my words. In one movement Sasuke pulls me into his strong chest and holds me. I readjust myself to where I'm sitting in his lap. Then he lays his head on mine and his arms wrap around me. He holds me like it's his last hug from me.

"If I were to take you with me, would there be any repentance? My crimes are great and I deserve to be named as a criminal," he says mostly to himself. I don't move even though I want to look at his face.

"You carry this burden on your shoulders and we want to help," I state. "If you want repentance pray for it. Walking alone can be hard without others."

"Y/N. . .," hearing my name I look up at him. His face is unreadable to me. I can't tell what he's feeling or what he's thinking. "I won't let you come with me but. . ."

"Say it," I beg with tears in my eyes. "I need to hear it."

"I love you," he says. He starts to walk away and I grab his sleeve.

"Stay with me," I beg. "Stay with me at least for tonight."

"Yes of course," he pokes my forehead.
