Pairing: Sasuke + Naruto


Two years away!


Two years have now passed since Sasuke left Konoha and us to kill his brother Itachi so that he could complete his revenge. That's what he'd trained for years to avenge his clan.
Now he's gone and it's been two years, is he still alive or was he defeated by Itachi?
No, I am not allowed to think like that.
He's alive, I know, I just know. Even if it sounds unbelievable but I feel it deep in my heart that he is still alive and to the village of Konoha, to us his team and above all to me, his idiot, as he used to say it back then to get angry , will return.

I turned to the window and looked at the sky. A smile crept on my face as a pair of birds flew past my open window and chirped happily.
In the two years I realized how much I love you, that I was never aware of before, because you were always close to me.But as Hokage-Sama has always been saying to me since then:
You don't recognize love in the hours together, but in the lonely moments!
And what is now? Now I am grief-stricken, I miss you so much and I long for you.
Hopefully you will come back soon so that after a long time I can finally look into your eyes, your face again.

Do you feel the same as me
Certainly not, you once said that you can no longer feel love, but again you protected me in the fight against Gaara, even though you were badly injured and said to me:
"I don't want to see anyone who is as important to me as you die. I will protect you as I swore to myself ..."
That means that you have at least a deep friendship for me and maybe you have learned to love too. If not me, because you're definitely not into boys, then surely some girl.
Just come back again.I want to see you at least one last time to show you my sincere love.

I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I didn't notice the time go by. Now I had to feel myself, I quickly got dressed and stuffed something edible into myself, which should be my breakfast. I quickly locked the door and ran like a madman to the bridge, where Sakura and Kakashi were waiting for me, after all, I'm way too late.

"Naruto, you are way too late," she shouted from afar.
I stopped in front of her and first had to take a deep breath and calm down.
"For half an hour, don't act like that," I jabbed. "Besides, Kakashi isn't there yet."
"Wrong," she corrected me, raising her finger threateningly. "He had already been here but because he was in a hurry he had to leave again."
"WHAT? But then what about our assignment," I interrupted angrily and I had already caught myself a hearty headbutt."Now let me finish, you idiot. Kakashi handed the job over to me. It's an A mission, where we have to bring a boy safely back to Konoha. The only problem is that all the other teams have a job and only we both carry out this mission in pairs. "
I looked at Sakura seriously.
"It won't be easy then, especially with an A mission. Say, are we allowed to do a mission with only two people?"
"Yes," she nodded. "I received a permit from Hokage-sama stating that she agreed."
She frowned and leaned against the railing of the bridge.
"But something makes me suspicious, Naruto."
“What, Sakura?” She had piqued my curiosity.
"When Kakashi Sensei gave me the job, he looked so mysterious. So I think there is more to it than we currently assume."
"As the situation is right now, I think so too.First, that with Kakashi Sensei like you said before. Second, that Hokage Sama allowed us to do this mission on our own and third, that is the strangest thing about this thing, this boy that we have to bring back to Konoha, that means yes that he has been here before and because it is an A mission it must be important too, "I added.
"And that it's a boy who may be our age."
Hope sprouted in me, but I didn't dare utter it because it was way too crazy, but I didn't need to either.
"Maybe it's Sasuke," she said beside herself.
"Even if I would like to believe it myself, we should remain realistic. After all, it is unlikely that Sasuke needs escorts, he is much too strong. Just because of his Sharingan," I explained.
Broken, Sakura agreed to me.
"Well, let's meet again here in 30 minutes so we can pack up our equipment for the mission.""Agreed and woe betide you are late again," she warned me.
"Typically women, but she does it herself, only then is it okay because it is her," I grumbled in a huff and jumped over the roofs back to my apartment.
The thought of Sasuke did not let me go the whole time, what if it is he who we should bring back, maybe he is injured and therefore needs escort. These were the only questions that floated through my head and I got the feeling I was going crazy.
"AHHHHHHHH, that's enough now," I shouted angrily and felt the need to hit someone or something. Furious, I stuffed the equipment into my backpack and headed back to the bridge. There was nothing to be seen of Sakura. I grinned underhandedly, now she would get that back from earlier. I was already imagining everything in my head and giggling to myself.

An unknown person approached me inconspicuously, intentionally or unintentionally, I could not have guessed.However, she suddenly stood right in front of me and in shock I fell off the bridge railing and landed in the river.
I only realized the situation after a few seconds and looked confused up where a laughing Sakura was looking down at me.
"As a ninja you always have to be vigilant, Naruto-Kun," she let go of her usual know-it-all sayings.
Unresponsive to that, I jumped up to her. “You already know that I'm completely wet now, don't you?” To clarify what I said, I pulled out my jacket and put the liquid material on the floor below me.
But she just shrugged indifferently. "It's your own fault, Naruto, besides, it's not that bad. It's supposed to be very warm today, so your things dry quickly."
"I could get sick," I protested.
Sakura looked at me stupidly and then started laughing out loud. "Yeah sure," she said ironically. "You know that only smart people get sick, don't you?So you don't have to worry, "she said, and marched off.
If looks could kill, she'd drop dead on the spot, but well, what the heck, I know she's just doing it for fun.
So our mission began, although we had no idea what surprises it had in store for us.

The sun was already at its zenith and we agreed to take a little break to eat.
"Naruto?"
“Hm?” I sipped between my ramen.
"How much longer do we need to get to the Village of Sounds? You were almost there before, but you were attacked by Orochimaru's subjects back then."
“It depends, if we hurry up and nothing stops us, we could do it in 3-4 days.” I cleaned my empty bowl. Sakura nodded in understanding and finally cleaned up our rest area together. After that, we immediately continued our journey, which went without any complications. But I had the uneasy feeling that the departure would not be so easy, for whatever reason.But we haven't been there yet. First we had to ask the residents of the village where this boy was staying.
Sakura and I agreed to stay together because the villages of Konoha and Sound weren't particularly peaceful.
In a friendly manner and without attracting particular attention, we asked our way through until we finally reached an inn. The landlady was there first and led us to the boy's room.
We thanked them in a friendly way and I opened the door with a trembling hand and racing heart, cautious of nervousness.
We stepped in and at the same time I stopped abruptly, my breath caught and my eyes were wide with disbelief.
"What's going on, Naruto-kun," asked the girl who was standing behind me and couldn't see what I was seeing.
"That's not true, impossible," I muttered.
She peered past me curiously and at first she couldn't believe her eyes either. A boy was lying on a futon in the middle of the room, who now sat up and looked at us smiling."Sasuke," shouted Sakura and ran up to him crying, only to give him a stormy hug. "I missed you so much," she sobbed. "Naruto-kun too."
When she mentioned my name, Sasuke turned away from her and looked over at me. We looked deeply into each other's eyes, had the feeling that we were sinking into each other's eyes.
With great effort I tried to suppress the tears that came up. Sasuke, however, I knew that, I saw that I was about to cry because my eyes had a glittering shimmer.
Personally, I had no problems crying in front of Sasuke, but Sakura was there and I was too proud for that. Instead I ran out of the inn to the forest that I had seen before to let my tears run free.

"Sakura can you please arrange everything with the landlady, you still need a room for today. It's getting dark, so it's not worth leaving today.""Yes I will," she beamed with happiness. ° I finally have my lover Sasuke back. ° She gushed in her thoughts on the way down. In the meantime, the young Uchiha jumped out of the window to look at Naruto, because he had noticed his wet eyes too well. He also needed to talk to him urgently.
His search led him to the forest, where he found the blonde leaning against a tree. With his legs drawn up, his head resting on his arms, he cried uncontrollably. How long had he hoped to see Sasuke again? Two years and he had almost given up hope and now he met him again here in the Village of Sound, that was too much for him. Now he wept the grief, pain and longing of two years.
He hadn't noticed Sasuke, although he was standing right in front of him and looking down sympathetically at the pile of misery. The black-haired man crouched down and put his hand on Naruto's shoulder to make himself noticeable. The blonde looked up in tears, as soon as he recognized Sasuke, he wiped the tears from his face with the back of his hand.He looked at his comrade apologetically. "I'm sorry."
Sasuke waved it off. "No, I'm sorry,
