Broken Pieces (Naruto and Boruto Reader Insert)

Sasuke's Ending Part 2

I could not find a picture of an older Sasuke crying, so this will have to do.

Sasuke had not left the restaurant, the waitress feeling out of place had left and was probably in the kitchen. His gaze traveled to the seat you had occupied moments ago. 

You had always been such a beautiful person, always putting others before you. Always sacrificing yourself to protect everyone else. You also never gave up, not even when you found yourself alone and you seemed to have lost sense in what life was all about. You still tried, tried to be remain alive for yourself and everyone else. 

He had always loved you, even if he moved on. Maybe that was what stopped him from following you. Deep down he felt guilty, it wasn't that he regretted having his daughter, but he failed to follow through with his promise. He wasn't as patient as he once said, he moved on with Sakura when you disappeared. 

You on the other hand, you didn't move on, even when you had the opportunity to do so. Instead you always focused with the task at hand, putting your mission before your own happiness. So, what right did he have to be on a date with you? 

His throught were interrupted as Sarada entered the restaurant and took your seat. Her daughter let out a long exhale. "You are unbelievable,", she rubbed her forehead, "she was looking up for this date and you just...You just let her walk away." But Sasuke didn't say anything, which agrabared her greatly. "I know she is your happiness, the woman you love.", Her eyes softened, "and yet...What is stopping you from-" but her father quickly rose to his feet and began to walk out. "Don't do this to you dad, if you don't do anything now you're" but he was out before she could finish.

Why was Naruto so close? Was it necessary? Whatever he wanted to say could have been said from a far away. So why was he standing so close to you? Naruto's body brushed against yours as the two walked side by side. 

Why was Naruto even taking a stroll? Wasn't he busy with work? Sasuke watched from afar, and then his eyebrows furrowed as Naruto hugged you, and that hug lasted longer than necessary. They two of you were parting ways but why d-

Sasuke shook his head, what was he doing staring like that? But then you glanced around as if you felt his gaze on you, but Sasuke hid in order not to be spotted. 

Once he felt like you were gone, he moved on. But he didn't expect you to head towards the hospital and he was curious. No one wanted your service, which was heartbreaking. 

But why were you here? Just when you were almost at the entrance, you stopped and glanced back. This time he wasn't fast enough to hide, your gaze landed on you. He noticed how your feet shifted, as if you wanted to just head inside the hospital. But you waited, and not wanting to make it look as if he was following you, he decided to head into the hospital.

"Morning Sasuke," you greeted him, with how close he was, he was able to notice that you were nervous. 

"Good morning, what are you doing here?" The male questioned softly. 

You looked back at the hospital and you rubbed your arm as if you were cold. "Kabuto and Orochumaru found a treatment but since Kabuto is busy with the orphanage, Orochumaru is going to start it today." Then you laughed, but it sounded so nervous. 

This was the first time you showed this kind of emotions, but this meant that you were genuine about it. You felt nervous and maybe even scared and you had no one to be there with you. So that was why Naruto was with you moments ago, he couldn't be here with you but that walk was the best he could do. That was why he hugged you, to show you his support.
