Summary: With Sasuke gone, Naruto feels more alone than he has ever felt.
A/N:
- Title comes from the lyrics of 'Please Come Home For Christmas'
The lights that fill the Plaza don't look as bright as it did last year, in Naruto's opinion. Or maybe it's the dark cloud hovering above him.
It's been months now since Sasuke has left the village to join Orochimaru's faction. Naruto is bent to hell on bringing his friend back home where he belongs. But they've lost trail of Sasuke and there has been no sign of Orochimaru either.
Much as Naruto wants to wear a smile across his face - just for the sake of the season - the melancholy that shrouds his heart chases away the slightest joy that prods at him. Sasuke's gone. His best friend has left him.
The sky slowly turns gray with a hint of stars dusting across the clear expanse. Naruto wonders where Sasuke is, if he's also looking up at the stars right now, if he's… if he's thinking of him - thinking of Team 7 and all the times they've spent together over the last year.
"Please Sasuke," Naruto says to no one in particular, but he wishes that his thoughts will reach his friend somehow.
What went wrong when everything seemed right, he wonders. He knows Sasuke has been nurturing an enormous amount of hatred for his older brother and his hunger for revenge is immeasurable. But.
Why did you have to leave? Naruto doesn't understand, doubts he'll ever want to understand. He just wants Sasuke back.
Tears begin to well up in his eyes, his throat feels thick, and he hates it, hates feeling like this little world he has built for him and Sasuke - for their friendship - is crumbling down. "Please come back home."
