The Pain Within

Chapter 6

Naruto's POV

He saw, he saw how worthless and vulnerable I am. Am I that pathetic I couldn't even hide that? I couldn't move I didn't do anything. I sat there and stared at Sasuke until I heard the thunder and jumped into his arms automatically feeling safe.  That's when I broke and started sobbing, I wanted to tell him everything but he would probably just laugh and think I'm even more of a loser.

Sasuke's POV

He is sitting on. my. lap. NARUTO IS SITTING ON MY LAP. I snapped out of it after I heard his loud sob. I made him look into my eyes and he just had this broken look, 'Had he been acting happy all this time? God I'm so stupid how could I not notice?' He just stared at me for a while crying and I wiped his tears off. "Hey, tell me what's going on." He cried more and stuck his face in my chest babbling incoherent words that I couldn't understand, it was honestly the cutest thing ever he acted like a baby, but now's not the time to coo at how cute he is. I would never admit that outloud. "Naruto," I said gently "it's ok you can tell me"

Naruto's POV

He sounded so sweet I couldn't help but calm down. "I- I... everybody hates me Sasuke! I'm too fat and ugly, I'm such a disappointment no wonder my parents would rather die than raise me! I'm so stupid!" I cried even more but I felt a little bit of weight lifted off my chest while I just kept my head down. "Naruto, you are not fat you are underweight, it's not good for you. And you are loved. You're parents died saving the village and left you behind for proof Naruto. You are not stupid either so dont say that you are." He said in a soothing voice that made me feel cared for and it made me feel like I was a child getting cared for, not gonna lie, it felt nice. "Then how come you and Sakura always make fun of me, and you always call me 'dobe' and if I were so skinny you wouldnt have trouble lifting me up Sasuke." Then out of nowhere he gott up with my legs wrapped around his waist, which I didnt even notice until now, put his hands under my armpits and held me out in front of him. "I can pick you up like this Naruto, it's scary, you are very skinny. And I called you Dobe for another reason, that i can't tell you right now but will hopefully tell you later." Then he pulled me in close to him and on instinct I wrapped my legs around his waist again. I felt like a koala and even after his words I didn't feel much more confident with my body. I couldn't help but feel like i could improve my weight and hopefully be beautiful someday. Hopefully one day I will be.

I'm so sorry for putting this story off for such a long time. But i didn't feel like this story was going well and I probably just screwed it up even more but here's your chapter everyone and hopefully I wont take too long in updating a new one.
