[drabble] challenge #13 - rain
It was raining when Sasuke stood over Naruto’s still body, unconscious from the hole he’d ripped in his chest. That’s what Sasuke remembers.
It was raining and washing away the blood on Naruto’s jacket, and Sasuke thinks it’s fucking typical that the skies would open up and weep for Naruto-who isn’t even dead-and yet on the night his whole clan was slaughtered the sky was clear enough to see that sickening moon.
He’s not crying, but the rain is forcing him to mimic the action and that’s typical too. Sasuke watches the droplets slide down Naruto’s face and makes a decision.
--
One of the first things Sasuke does upon arriving in Sound is make a crude paper umbrella.
Orochimaru watches him cut the bamboo and slot it together with an indulgent smile. Sasuke doesn’t much care about the mockery hidden in those lips. He won’t be betrayed into showing emotions he doesn’t feel.
When the rain comes again, he’ll be ready.
