Life is Life

Walk and Talk

I laughed at Sasuke, he agreeed to go in the woods with me and walk around just wandering.

Sasuke was complaining the whole time.

"Are you sure you grew up here?" Sasuke glared at me.

"Yes I grew up here. Sorry I don't go out and play in the woods for fun" Sasuke hissed.

I can't stop laughing. He looks so out of place. I grabbed his hand and pulled him on the trail, it leads to the park trails and is closer to Sasukes house then he knows.

"What's your mom like? I believe I knew her"

"You know my mom?" The hair isn't hard to forget.

"I remember her coming over a lot when my mom was alive. They were probably good friends." I nodded my head. I never really ask my mom any questions, we never talk.

"My mom is loud. I mean she's my mom and all so I don't want to complain to you, at least not about parents" Sasuke hit my on the back of my head.

"Just because my parents are dead doesn't mean I don't have people I consider parents. I have Kakashi and I can complain about him everyday if you want."
Of course I guess it was inconsiderate to think like that.

"I'm sorry" Sasuke gave me a for what look.

"Stop with the sorries, if something bothers me I'll tell you."

"Okay, so. I'll start with my dad" Sasuke nodded his head and looked ahead.

"Well, his name is Minato. He has blonde hair like mine and the eyes are the same. But we're not the same. He lost his job when I was in fifth grade and he loved that job, he got a new one but he hates it. The money we needed just wasn't there anymore. And it's still not there but I'm used to it now. I don't care if we don't have money I just wish my parents would love each other again." I looked over at Sasuke he was looking ahead his face was normal. Not surprised.

"I think your parents still love each other" how would he know? He doesn't live with them.

"Sure"

"No when I was talking to them this morning they were making jokes and laughing. I don't think you're there for the good parts of their relationship." Maybe he's right. Maybe, that doesn't mean I'm going to believe him. Is he saying that I'm the reason they're not happy? Whenever I'm around they hate each other.

"Doesn't matter. You see what they want, I see everything"

Sasuke squeezes my hand I forgot we were still holding hands.

"What about your house?"

"What about it? We don't have any heat. There's nothing I can do."

"You don't have heat? All winter"

I nodded "yeah. I'm used to it, we haven't had in almost three years" it's true.

"How do you sleep?"

"With lots of soft blankets, it's not that much of a big deal it's just cold in the morning"

Sasuke looked at me and smiled, he's so handsome I just want to touch his hair it looks so soft.

"Why don't you stay at my house tonight?"

"I'm not having sex with you" I wonder if that's the whole reason he's doing this. Nah I'm not great. Unless he really just wants to fuck me. Then it's just weird.

"No, I know that just stay the night"

"I'll need to stop home. So we should exit the woods and see where we are" I stepped over sticks and roots, Sasuke was walking behind me and I chuckled lowly every time I hit him in the face with a branch.
