Author's Notes: If you are a MySpace person, you know what a bulliten is. A few weeks ago, The Pianist put up one that read: "Ask me one question. Anything at all, and I will answer truthfully." So I thought long and hard about it, because I really love this guy, and if I have one question to ask, I want to ask something that will help me gain a better understanding of him. So I asked: "If you died tomorrow, what is the one thing today that you would be proud of having accomplished in your life?"

“If you were to die tomorrow, what would you regret most?”
“You know.”
“Dobe.”
“You should know.”
“Not becoming Hokage?”
“Duh.” Naruto leaned back and looked up at the clouds. “What about you?”
“You know.”
“Teme.”
“What? You should,” Sasuke countered, smirking.
“Itachi,” Naruto muttered darkly.
They sat in silence for a while.
“It’s stupid,” Naruto said finally.
“What is?”
“Regretting,” Naruto murmured.
“Why?” Sasuke leaned back, looking up, too. Trying to see what Naruto was seeing. White clouds on blue sky. No regrets.
“You should live life naturally. Can’t waste a single moment, y’know.”
“Is that your philosophy on life?”
“Shit. It’s just what I believe, okay?”
Sasuke just smirked and reached out, stroking golden blonde strands. Naruto kicked his leg affectionately.
“So... if you were to die tomorrow, what would you be most proud of?”
The clouds drifted overhead, and Naruto took his time answering.
“You,” he confessed finally.
“What kind of answer is that?” Sasuke asked, slightly annoyed, but secretly happy.
“You didn’t say it couldn’t be a person,” Naruto retorted.
“Why me, though?” Sasuke asked, almost wondering out loud.
“You tell me your answer first,” Naruto insisted.
The clouds seemed to drift lower, listening in, waiting.
“You,” Sasuke said finally, comprehending.
“That’s why,” Naruto said, smiling.
Sasuke kicked him back softly and stood.
“Come on.”
“What for?” Naruto whined.
“Training, dobe. Can’t waste a single moment, right?” he said with a smirk, verbally italicizing the last.
Naruto groaned and stood, following him out to the training grounds.
