Messy without a Doubt

Worth It

Sasuke opened his bedroom door his eyes tired his shoulders were slumped he looked around slowly as he walked downstairs.

He tried to smile when Obito walked out of the kitchen but he couldn't.
"How is Naruto? I haven't seen him." Obito said his eyebrows slanted. He hasn't seen the blonde in the house or even with Sasuke in almost weeks not since the movie night.

"Probably home sleeping." Sasuke said his voice dropping as he sat down on the couch sinking into the cushions.

"Why? Is he okay?"

"Do you ever wonder. Did you ever wonder when you were my age with Kakashi. If it was worth it? The relationship." Sasuke said. A sad look in his eyes. A painful sting in his chest he was feeling the after math of everything.

"What do you mean?"

"Since I've been with Naruto so much has happened and I just don't know if it's worth everything. I've lost so much. I've gained but was it really that great?" Sasuke stared ahead. Nothing seemed worth it anymore.

Obito sat on the couch next to Sasuke and looked at him. He looked very very tired. "Did you get any sleep last night?" Obito asked he put his hand on Sasukes forehead.

"No. I haven't talked to Naruto in a week and I'm worried. I just don't think this whole thing is worth it. I've lost so many friends, I'm always worrying about Naruto and if he's going to hurt himself. I'm too young for all of this. I'm not the root to his happiness. I don't have to be there if I don't want to."

Obito frowned he looked at Sasuke and fixed himself so he was sitting comfortably on the couch next to Sasuke. "Is that really what you want? To end the relationship because it's getting harder?"

Sasuke sighed and ruffled his hair "It's not that! I've already been through this. I just, nothing is the same anymore! I used to talk to people, I used to have so many friends. Now only like four people on the baseball team talk to me. I'm friends with Naruto's friends. They are not bad people it's just, it's so different," Sasuke looked at Obito his eyes stinging from sleepless nights and midnight cries. He doesn't know what to do.

"I can't tell you-"

Sasuke shook his head back and forth the tears finally spilling calming the dryness "That's not what I want! I love him. I do. But I don't want to see him in the hospital again, I don't want to keep going through this cycle because I don't know if he's getting better!" Sasuke sighed his throat was burning. "I don't know when he's faking it, I don't know anything and I just want to know it all. I know I can't go through school not being to hold him I want him. I just need to know if he's going to get better. I just need to know if I should stay"

Obito looked as Sasuke speechless unsure of what to say, unsure of how to react. "You haven't talked to him in a week? Lets start there. Why not"

"I just haven't answered him. He texted me after the movie night last week and told me he was going to get a new dose of medicine and I never replied. Is he getting worse? He must be he's getting a new dose of medicine. I can't sit there with him and see him all anxious and worried. And sad. He gets so sad and unsure of everything! He told..." Sasuke trailed off looking at the black screen from the TV.
"He told me I could leave whenever I want, he said he doesn't want me to think I'm being tied down against my will."

Obito made an O mouth his eyes turned sad. He likes Naruto, he likes him a lot. "If you think your relationship is getting too difficult you don't have to stay. Naruto is right you're not being held against your will thinking you are the reason for his happiness." Obito looked at Sasuke "Do you think you're the only reason he's alive? You're not."

Sasuke turned to Obito and attempted to open his mouth Obito was quick to cut him off "I've seen Naruto, I've talked to him. I saw him the other day talking to his friends he was happy. I see the way he looks at you, it is special it is different from the others but I could tell, he doesn't rely on you for all of his happiness. I understand if you feel like you're being trapped. I don't think you are. He's said you can leave, if that's what you want then you can."

Sasuke stared at Obito he's been dodging Naruto's calls and texts and even avoided him the whole week in school because he didn't want to hear the problems he didn't know if he could handle hearing the problems. He shook his head "I told him I wanted him to talk to me to tell me things. And then I don't answer his calls and ignore him."

Obito stayed silent as he saw the eyes of Sasuke move from spot to spot he was clearly thinking about something. It would be a shame if Sasuke left Naruto over something that could get talked over. Naruto could give him space there are so many ways to solve this problem but at the end of it all if Sasuke wants to break up. They will.

"I don't want to end it." Sasuke said he looked into Obitos eyes with such pain Obito could practically feel it himself.

"I should go see him... what's going to happen?" Sasuke asked Obito as he sat up and got off the couch. "Is he going to end it?" Sasuke muttered looking at the ground.

Obito sighed "I don't have an answer. Just ta-"

Sasuke waited as Obitos phone rang he watched and listened as Obito answered the phone a worried look on his face.

"Hello Is this a Mr Obito?" A kind soft voice over the phone.

"Yes this is him."

"We've called to tell you that Mikoto Uchiha has died. She was found this morning and we believe she went peacefully sometime late last night."

Obito stared at Sasuke he thanked the lady on the lady and hung up.

"Maybe I'll go now" Sasuke said as he stood up Obito touched his shoulder.

"Sit down Sasuke."

Sasuke sat down worried his face drained of all color as he sat and listened to Obito give the news of his mother. Dead, she's dead.

"I'm sorry Sasuke" Obito finished he quickly gave Sasuke a tight hug and left a few tears fall when Sasuke hugged him back tighter and let the emotions out.
