A/N: This story was written for my dear friend xLoveless19! Happy Birthday and may your every wish come true... or you know, something like that. Now without further senseless blab - Enjoy your gift!

Being a vampire was boring. Seriously! Whoever said it was fun was an idiot. Maybe first few decades could be quite amusing, but after one or two centuries it became an annoying drag. Sasuke had been everywhere, he had seen everything. To tell the truth, there wasn't that much to see. He vaguely remembered those several years after he was changed. The time dashed pass him in a hazy flash. Parties, sex, alcohol, blood – a lot of blood. It was wild and intense, but the thrill faded away rather fast.
He travelled the world. He experienced things a normal human being could only dream about. He watched cities burn and then observed as new ones were built on the debris. He saw wars and peace, and he knew that no matter how many times humanity would fall, they would eventually stand up proud once more – doing the same mistakes all over again. The ages continued to run, days on the calendar changed, seasons switched and years grew. If he looked far back into the past, he could see how much the world has evolved, but he couldn't say he had ever felt the change himself.
If you ceaselessly observe a flower, you will never see it grow. It will bloom eventually, but you won't have an idea how it happened. That's how living was for a vampire. It drove them mad and if they didn't find something to live for every now and then, they were doomed.
Eventually, the creatures of the night became dulled and numb towards just any experience or emotion. Things they loved would be enjoyed no more and people they treasured would be gone in a snap of a finger. The longer you were a vampire the harder it was to find a compatible soul. To find a vampire remotely the same age as you was impossible and human lives were too fleeting. One day there were here and the other they were dead.
Sasuke thought about turning someone many times, but he had never met a person who would truly intrigue him. He had met many beautiful, interesting and captivating ones, but before he could get close to them and form a worthy bond, they were gone. People were gone just too fast.
As the time continued to flow, Sasuke distanced himself from everyone and everything. Blood tasted bitter and his existence lost all its meaning. He only wished for peace and quiet. To hide somewhere deep underground and don't come out for at least a decade… or maybe a century. He had tried this, but humans were like pest, they were everywhere. And what worse! They no longer feared vampires, they actually loved them. The new generation of humans was twisted.
Unless you were a young vampire who would relish in the attention, you couldn't even have a snack without the risk of being chased down by crazy teenage girls. Sasuke had learned the hard way that revealing your identity to a young female wasn't the best idea. She wasn't scared nor frightened of him. She was ecstatic! And it was much more difficult to get rid of a fan-girl with habits of a stalker than he could ever guess. He killed her on a whim. He would do it anyway, but like this he at least had a good excuse.
Sasuke was bored; bored to death. His human side suffered with lack of contact and companionship, but on the other hand he was way too deep in his own gloomy thoughts to really reach for a person. As absurd as it sounded, vampires needed people for more than just food. They watched them laugh and cry, and live and die. In the end it was the fight for their life what gave their existence the right meaning and taste. The only thrill Sasuke really enjoyed was talking a life; to see the light in human eyes fade away forever. But lately even that has become more of an annoying bother. Society was depraved and Sasuke suddenly found himself in a middle of a culture that was even worse than his darkest dream – corrupted and rotten. He had the right to judge, he had seen better days.
Or he was just bored.

To jump off a bridge into the river in the middle of winter might seem like a crazy idea, but the water looked so dark and murky he simply couldn't resist. And maybe he did it on a whim, because really… did he need a reason for just every damn thing he had done or would do during his painfully long existence?
Sasuke felt the air whiz around his head and then with a loud splash the freezing liquid swallowed his body. He didn't resist the current when it swept his lax flesh and carried him who-knows-where. He was rolling throughout the stream, uncaring of what would happen next. He was at peace. He hoped the river would eventually froze over and buy him few more months of the loud hum that passed his ears. It was the most silent place he could ever find.
"-hey!" Or not?
A huffed scream reached his sensitive hearing. "Hey you! What do you think you're doing?!" Oh come on! Give him a break! Now that he had already found something remotely fun to do for the next few months, someone had to play a hero and drag his body out of the water? Did the human had no sense of self-preservation? Did he not know that he was in much riskier situation than Sasuke? Apparently, he didn't.
Sasuke listened to the rapid heartbeat of a person who was pulling him out of the newly found paradise. He felt the muscles of the man tighten around his body. He was strong, Sasuke had to give him that. He fought the power of the wide river with vigor and resistance and steadily swam towards the bank. Stupid idiot…
Annoyed vampire was dragged out of the freezing water and his body was placed on a dirty ground washed by the muddy river. Sasuke kept his eyes closed, indifferent features stuck in his face. He wasn't going to acknowledge the human. No! He would pretend like nothing was happening and maybe if the human would think that Sasuke was already dead, he would leave him alone. Just go away, human!
Warm object was placed to the middle of Sasuke's chest, the man listening to the non-existent heartbeat, then a cracked voice spoke up. "Hang in there, buddy." Buddy? Really? Sasuke was no-one's buddy and definitely not this insolent human's. Wait a second…
Sasuke felt two fingers pinch the tip of his nose, holding all the air inside. A deep breath and another hand opened his mouth. This guy was definitely a persistent one, which made him even more troublesome. You don't give a CPR to a vampire! It is useless! Which, of course, the guy had no idea about. He probably thought he was rescuing a human being.
One second before a pair of warm lips were to touch Sasuke's cold ones, the vampire's hand fired to tightly grip the man's throat. He didn't need to look for his target. It was hovering right above him, hot puffs of air fanning around the vamp's face. Sasuke opened his eyes with an irritated huff and pushed the other's head away.
An excited call. "You're alive!"
Angry black look was met with a happy blue one. The guy who had saved him couldn't even be described as a man, he was still a boy. Sasuke frowned at the genuinely enthusiastic smile that was gazing hazily down at him. The kid was shaking, probably slowly freezing to death while trying to keep alive someone else. Too bad Sasuke was dead for quite a while already. Maybe he should exterminate him and spear the unlucky boy the trouble. Because who in the world would drag just anyone out of the water in the middle of winter and have so much misfortune that the 'person' was actually a creature of the night? Who?! No-one! Exactly!
Sasuke's stare darkened, he was ready to unleash the beast inside of him. To let the demon run free and devour this boy's life. Better hurry though, the joyful human seemed to catch cold soon. Sasuke didn't like sick people, they tasted awful. The grip around the boy's throat tightened, the merry smile didn't disappear for a moment. He was a seriously disturbing young man.
It lasted few empty seconds before Sasuke realized that the two of them held a staring contest for some time now. No blood, no biting, no slashed throats. After another long silence the vampire realized that every bit of his killer instinct was gone. "Who are you?" he spat before thinking much about it. Right at the point of asking he knew it was a mistake, but it was too late to take it back. Now he had to engage in a conversation, which he was bound to finish in one way or another.
The boy grinned widely. "N-Naruto…"
Sasuke scowled, measuring the bright blond hair and vivid blue eyes. "Well, Naruto," he paused to give the boy another mocking once over, "you're an idiot," Sasuke scoffed, then sat up, his every move followed by a curious electric look.
"What?" The intensive color of those eyes grew as their lids widened. Even through the unstoppable shivers the blond was experiencing, Sasuke could see how hard the boy was trying to figure out why the person whose life he had saved was calling him names.
"I should just kill you," Sasuke declared, facial expression dead calm, but somewhere deep inside he felt a sparkle of amusement when the utterly shocked face changed into something even more extreme.
"Why-y?" Naruto whined, voice thoroughly hurt.
Sasuke expected anything – begging, fear, anger – anything but this. No-one had asked him for an explanation before. Well, yes. They did, but it wasn't the real 'why'. They didn't want to hear a reason. They simply wanted for him to think about what he was doing and reconsider; they wanted their lives to be spared. Not this weirdo. Naruto seemed honestly interested in any kind of motive Sasuke might have.
Except the vampire didn't really have one. "Because!"
"That's not a good reason, you know!" Naruto retorted immediately, not even waiting for Sasuke to finish the sentence. As if he knew that there was nothing more to say. Sasuke's voice gave it out pretty clearly anyway.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "I don't need a good reason," he announced with the most bored tone.
Naruto grunted, realizing that he shouldn't let some random person threaten him with murder. "Just who do think you are?" It was about damn time.
"A vampire who's about to kill you," he murmured, immensely irked. Of all the times his inner demon chose to magically disappear, it had to be now! When all Sasuke wished for was to savor the taste of this silly human and then go his own way.
"Well in that case… I'm the man who ain't gonna let you!" he proclaimed solemnly. New determination radiating from his lively eyes. There was no doubt that the boy was going to be seriously ill after his little rescue mission. He might even catch pneumonia. Not like Sasuke would care. He was resolute about slaughtering this person, to end his life right here and there. He desired it above all the things he had desired in the last decade. Also maybe because he somehow couldn't. Without his instincts, he couldn't do more than take a gun and shoot the idiot.
The staring contest continued. Sasuke let out a low growl, but other than that he didn't move a muscle.
Naruto cocked his head to the side in silent wonder, obviously rolling the received info about Sasuke in his head. The moron was going to do it. He was going to ask! Sasuke was sure. And his irritation only grew.
"So… Do you-" Yes, there it was, the famous question.
"No, I don't fucking sparkle!" Sasuke shot before the blond could finish his sentence.
The boy chuckled, "…have a name?"
Awkward.
"Sasuke."
Naruto measured him closely, probably slowly figuring out that Sasuke didn't need his help at all. "It was nice to meet you, Sasuke," the boy chirped suddenly. Chirped? Seriously? "But I need to go now, maybe you can try to kill me some other time."
Sasuke stared, deadpanned. Naruto was really leaving!
The vampire remained sitting on his butt by the river, watching how his prey was walking away from him. Fucking waving him goodbye! That jackass was going to die! When Sasuke decided to kill someone the person was as good as dead. He had never left anyone alive. He had no mercy! He didn't want some silly human to know about him. About who he was! He needed to get disposed of the witness and he was going to do it. One way or another! If the old fashioned way wouldn't work, he would figure out something else.
Naruto was basically a walking corpse!

I am prepared for any kind of criticism!
