Gorgeous - A sasusaku story

The Reason

"So things go like this" Sasuke began as we laid back on the bed, my legs next to his "when I was in middle school, Itachi got sick. He never told me about it but I found it out myself. He had cancer." My legs went numb "He lost all his hair and we had to travel outside Konoha for a better treatment. I went with him to help him get better. I was tired, depressed and shocked at my brother's health. He was very sick Sakura and I was scared. I was scared if I lost him. And if I did, I wouldn't survive. He was always there for me when mom and dad left. He did everything he could. And i got him treated at one of the very good hospitals And when we were out, we had very little money left. Then i met Karin." He let out a sigh "she had her sister working in the hospital. Karin told her that she liked me and her sister told me that she would give good time to Itachi if I dated her for a little while. Her sister wanted Karin to straight up, she wanted her to learn, so she told me that if I showed her the bitter part of life maybe she would change her bitchy attitude into something better" he looked at the ceiling "but after that I had to shift back here again, because I missed you. I missed everything. Itachi was better now and was able to work. Karin didn't leave me. She followed me up here. Suigestu and Jugo were some other friends I had made during that time. They aren't that close but they are trustworthy." He finally looked at me "but I couldn't leave two best friends"

"Itachi-kun" I whispered. My hands began to feel numb as I thought of the pain he might have been through. "I'm sorry for being so stupid" I said as I held my head "I'm Sorry" I repeated. "I'm so sorry Sasuke" I said as I went to Sasuke's chest and buried my face into it.

"I didn't know! I'm sorry" I cried out in his chest. I was so wrong! I was so dumb! How could I ever think of Sasuke leaving us like that?

"I'm sorry" I sobbed in his chest "I'm sorry" he rubbed my back with his bare hands.

He pulled my face from his chest and held my face in his hands "you're such an ugly creature".

"Stupid!" I said as I slightly hit his chest "Why Sasuke? If I could've known-"

"Shh.. it's okay. I'm the one who should apologise here for leaving like this. Keeping you guys worried"

"No Sasuke" I wiped my nose with the 100th tissue Sasuke handed me.

"You cry a lot." He remarked.

We stayed silent for a while until I gathered myself back.

"Uchiha Sasuke, I am a very nice person unlike you" I said as I poked his chest with my index finger "and it's the role of a best friend to care for you"

He held my index finger and crashed my head into his chest in slow motion.

"Thank you" He said playfully whereas for now I was being crushed in his chest. "Oww Sasuke. You.. are.. crushing me-"

He left loose and he chuckled whereas I held myself together.

Sasuke is more like a friend now...

Isn't it going the opposite direction, first you're friends and then you fall in love but for me I fell in love first and then I became his best friend.

We stayed like that for a while.

"Wanna practise for the talent thing?" I asked him.

"Sure" he brushed his hair with his fingers "and Naruto?"

"I'll call him?" I asked.

"Okay" he said

I called him and pulled off the cover from the drums.

"Here" I handed him over a guitar "this is the only model I have, just adjust the strings"

He took the guitar and started to set it according to the pitch. Surprisingly he started singing and I just stopped playing my drums.
