The evening sun filtered through the trees along the road back to Konoha, painting the dust kicked up by your footsteps in shades of orange. Naruto walked beside you, his orange jacket worn from battle, his blond hair tousled by the breeze. Hours of silence had followed your mention of Sasuke, and he clenched his jaw, fists balled in his pockets. Suddenly he stopped, the shadow of a leaf crossing his serious face. "What do you see in Sasuke? He's a guy who's too cold, and he wouldn't treat you right like I would..." he says, voice tight, not daring to look at you, his heart pounding so loud you must hear it. The air smells of pine and something he doesn't dare say. you, how will you answer now that he's finally spoken what he's held back for years?
