We are never, ever, ever, getting back together.
Who: Naruto Uzumaki & Sasuke Uchiha
What: Things
When: Day 343
Where: Somewhere in some district.
Rating: PG-13 for dumb ninja bfs
He was still sulking. Only, it wasn't really sulking at all because he had a totally valid reason for moping around over the last few days. His last meeting with Sasuke had gone terribly, and adjusting to a life that didn't involve at least seeing his best friend for something to eat at least was taking it's toll on him.
It wasn't that he needed to spend time with Sasuke, or anyone else for that matter to be the happy, carefree individual that he tended to be. Only, he couldn't possibly hold on to that carefree feeling. There was absolutely nothing he could do to make Sasuke stop blaming him for what had happened, and by this point, Naruto was beginning to feel completely and utterly at fault, despite Gaara's reassurances, and those of the other people who had been affected deeply by the events of the previous week.
So, he's wandering through the city, trying to find something to occupy his mind with. He wasn't needed at the job he'd managed to get himself, and he vaguely wondered if that was because of all the mistakes he'd made the other day... perhaps he was on the hunt for a job, or to bump into a friendly face. Anything to make him stop thinking about that.

"You wanna keep blamin' me for somethin' that ain't my fault?"
remember when they were going to just keep on walking and not talk oops
"Didn't I already tell you I knew it wasn't all your fault?" All. You still stuck the knife in him. Literally. Though he knows it wasn't fully on purpose and acknowledged this.
Easily frustrated by Naruto as always, the next line is said on purpose, just to strike at that open wound.
"You want me to keep blaming you? 'Cause I can do that just fine."
yeah about that SORRY
"Yeah, an' then like five minutes later you were... talkin' about it again."
Five minutes, an entire day. It's all the same thing.
Also, ow.
"Can't you just stop-- bein' a dick about everythin' all the time?"
It's less of a frown, all over again. Instead, there's that hurt look. The one you can totally gloss over.
B)
As for that last remark, the scowl on his face manages to worsen, the stare he is giving Naruto turning hard and cold.
"Just because I acknowledged that it isn't your fault, that doesn't mean I have to be happy about it."
X(
"You think I'm happy about it?" The pathetic look is gone, thankfully - but there's a fire in his eyes all over again. Sasuke is the most important person to him, and sometimes he wonders if even the village is a close second in his grand scheme of things.
It's what makes this all so much worse. "I remember everythin' too, but they ain't my-- they ain't my feelin's but I feel it, 'cause I was there doin' that stuff. You keep bringin' it up like I don't know."
He'd go on... but he's not sure Sasuke needs to know that it keeps him up at night.
X-(
"Then what? What, Naruto." He's losing patience again and the stress is obvious in his voice.
It wasn't as if the whole ordeal hadn't taken its toll on him either, but for very different reasons. Mostly over how he had let himself begin to believe all those stupid peptalks. or how he'd let his guard down enough that he let his closest friend kill him without even putting up a fight. And why didn't he? He could have, if he had tried harder.
"What is it you're asking me to do? Forget about it like it never happened?" Not happening.
X((((
Even he struggled to understand their friendship, but he knew for sure that he didn't want it to continue like this.
"I don't know why don't you-- make it even?"
>:|
Which causes him to scoff once again because was this guy for real? "Make it even? What, you want me to kill you? To slice you open and leave you, to watch as there's nothing you can do about it? Would that make you feel better?"
>:| yourselfffff
Only minus the death part.
But--
"Would it make you feel better?"
no u
"Is that your solution to everything? Let people beat the shit out of you?: He remembers what was Naruto had said about Karui. About letting her punch him half to death just because he felt bad for her or whatever the hell it was.
er no
Sasuke has a way of being able to point out the flaws in pretty much everything he does though.
"No."
He pauses, taking a breath and puffing it out. "You're angry though, right? Might help."
uh yes
He doesn't say anything, but now he is within reaching distance and an arm suddenly darts out, grabbing the collar of Naruto's jacket and yanking it forward. He doesn't say anything but he doesn't need to- the expression on his face, full of anger and frustration and the temptation to just hit him is all there.
no subject
This is it though, isn't it. The tables and turned, and it will help right? If Sasuke can just take out all that anger and hate on him, that will make everything right again. For the moment. The other stuff will come, eventually...
"G'on."
no subject
There's a sharp thud as it makes contact with the blond's cheek. Enough to make Naruto tilt backwards before the hand on his collar is yanking him forward again before letting go.
"Better? Or you need another?"
no subject
He can taste blood.
"... Ow. That was ha--"
It was supposed to be, he's sure.
"Do you feel better?"
no subject
He's still annoyed, pissed off, everything else that he was feeling thirty seconds ago. Nothing has changed.
Except now his hand hurts too, dammit.
no subject
"... Oh."
Crap.
Well, there's only one thing for it right? This is how it's always been.
and that's a fist flying your way, Sasuke.
no subject
Falling backwards a couple steps before regaining his balance, his fist immediately curls up again, aiming back at Naruto's face once again. A foot also kicks out, aiming to sweep past the other ninja's feet and cause him to fall.
no subject
The punch he was expecting, because there is no other response from Sasuke than that, and it's totally warranted, but it still hurts when it lands.
The foot however, isn't something he'd planned for. It catches him out, but he manages to stay upright... once he staggers back a few steps to balance himself out.
Having distance between them would probably prompt anyone else to start talking again, but he flies back at Sasuke, fist raised and ready to thump him in the side of the head.
no subject
Hands held forward he opts for defense right now; aiming to block the punch that is about to be thrown at him as he thinks up his next move.
no subject
Perhaps it's the reason why that flying punch isn't quite as hard as it looked like it was going to be, and the reason why when it lands he doesn't back away.
no subject
no subject
It's probably a good thing he manages to straighten up when he does, but cause a foot to the head might have been lethal, but Sasuke hits his target, and the force of the kick makes him fall back.
He fall isn't pretty, and seconds later he's got one hand up, palm outstretched toward Sasuke in a notion to stop. He can't see for whatever reason, let alone think, and every muscle and bone in his body is begging for him to roll over and lay there.
no subject
He doesn't though, instead opting for taking a few steps forward, looking down at the other ninja. He doesn't say anything, waiting for some response as he wipes a hand across his face, smearing blood down his forearm.
no subject
He does stay there on the floor for a moment longer, before pushing himself up to sit-- eyes fixed on Sasuke despite the angle of his head. Not only because looking up is sorta hard right now.
