preparing to emotionally destroy my life by moving my desk so i look better on zoom here’s some hurt feelings for you-
“You stuck your hand through my chest!”
“I know! I couldn’t think of another way out!”
“Out of me?”
“Not just you.” Sasuke screams back, “I’ve always wanted you to kill me,” and then stops, horrified at what he just allowed to slip out. “I don’t want to die. Or for you to- Not that- Just. It’s you. Always. For me. I’ve loved. Other people. But it wasn’t this. If I have to go, it's you I want. If I have to choose, it's between you and the world.” He swipes away the swell of tears on his face. “Fuck thats not right.”
“I’d’ve saved you.”
“I know.”
Does he? Naruto feels like he just told an earnest lie.
it is my, the favourite of the universe and protagonist of realities, birthday! happy glorious 27th consecutive year to me, best gorl! as a gift here are three all it took snippets, in varying orders of emotionally devastating:
1
Hinata used to be in love with him according to his boyfriend.
“She got over it,” Sasuke says blithely, “when she figured out that what she wanted was freedom. Besides, she’s a romantic, not necessarily romantic.”
Which made no sense, except that she’s one of the few people who can touch Sasuke without permission, who braids his hair and still does his washing when they eat together three or four times a week. She’d be the other woman, but Sasuke likes her housekeeping skills better and has cancelled date night more than once to go ‘shake down foreign investors’ as her incredibly slutty plus one. What is it called when the ‘other woman’ has coordinated thigh highs with your boyfriend?

Naruto knows he’s been a lonely child, little villain, dumb and worth nothing and less than piss filled dirt. He’s eaten garbage, he spent his summers with a shitty radio learning what no one wanted to tell him. Scum child who couldn’t read. Disgusting thing willing to fill his mouth with anything to make the hunger stop. He lives in a house with this man. He knows, he knows- but if he can eat it whole he can keep it. If he can swallow being theirs on their terms a little boy stops going hungry. Sasuke said, before, that Naruto couldn’t be everything but that denies Naruto being anything. It will take the whole body, an entire morsel, to be his. Sasuke’s that is. All is what he has.

Hearing Sasuke talk about his Giri compatriots is like hearing someone talk fondly about the serial killer in a slasher movie. He talks about Hashira like she’s his aunt, or elder cousin, and not someone Naruto has seen remove eyeballs with her fingertips.
“You know,” Sasuke says owlishly when he brings it up, “that's how people feel about Kakashi. I’ve met people who have said that to me about him.”
Naruto makes a deep-throated sound of displeasure.
Sasuke rolls his eyes and keeps bitching about Hiki -fucking Kazei Iwarebiko, the last of the wandering kings of Wind, and how he won’t shut up about going on a vacation together to a podunk town in the middle of Storms that revers his boyfriend as a demigod. What.
“He said I could bring you.” Sasuke drawls.
“Fuck you.” Naruto replies. All his Giri team talks about is Sasuke’s taste in porn and wine when Naruto’s around. They think he needs pointers on keeping their nadeshiko happy.
extremely funny for my brain to go okay you may write and also but you’ve fucked your triceps so hard you’ve lost lateral motion. incredible gag guys, anyway here’s the stupid sex joke-
The worst thing Sasuke’s said to him during sex- (“I want to break open your brains and ribs and eat them whole, just slurp the marrow out”) against the worst thing Naruto’s said (“I just, like, licked the table in the old school room which was insane but the kiss wasn’t tasting the same? I couldn’t remeber you in my mouth?”) and neither of them have brought this up to Sakura, an unwilling long time judge, but the thought counts, right? This is totally average.
obvs i’ll clean it up but THESE GUYS GEESUS
sad they’ll lose that yaoi poll to fucking minecraft
