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.

Comments

Sasuke didn't care. If Naruto was going to overreact to some offhand comment, why should he waste his time and energy going after him to fix it?

Okay, so maybe the little 'offhand comment' had been a snide remark referring to the blond's murderous habits of the week previous, but still. Sasuke had spoken to him, followed him, even sat down to eat some of that god damn ramen with him so it wasn't as if he hadn't made any effort. He'd done nothing wrong and Naruto was just over-reacting again, like he does with everything.

Which is why, ever since that day at the festival, Sasuke had intentionally avoided having any contact with him. In retrospect this.. wasn't actually any different to how things usually were since Sasuke practically never visited or messaged Naruto anyway. The only difference was the radio silence which irritated him even more- not just because it meant that Naruto was actually angry over this but also for petty reasons. How is he meant to ignore all his messages if they are never sent?

Anyway as he was outside, making his way home from somewhere and thinking over all this stuff, Sasuke looks up at the street ahead and happens to see a familiar ninja walking towards him.

Immediately he frowns. Even more than he had been already. Great.
