Chapter 4: No Control
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sasuke was torn between anger and despair as he stared at the canvas before him and the light sketch that was drawn upon it. He was seated on a stool, one arm resting across the right leg that he had propped up on a box in front of him. The scene would have made an amusing drawing itself- the artist being consumed by the art from, what appeared to be, the inside out. The only method that he ever used to channel all of his feelings and strange dreams was by spilling it all unto any surface he could find. His older brother once told him that, by capturing a scene of his dreams onto paper, he would never be haunted by that dream again. Sasuke had tried his best to replicate the scenes perfectly. The more dreams he had, the more fervently he tried to take "snapshots" of them using any media available. His artwork was almost perfect in accurately representing his dreams and emotions but, the dreams continued to persist. And Sasuke had never been able to replicate...
"Those damn eyes," he murmured into the empty room.
The drawing before him was only a sketch, but the portrait captured Naruto in a way that no one else could. Such a thing both frightened and intrigued him. Hell, it nearly drove him mad. After all, how was it that he managed such a likeness when he had only met the guy once?
"Sasuke?"
Sasuke looked up at Kakashi, his tutor, and a person that he considered to be as close to him as a father. Sasuke had actually managed to drag Kakashi with him when he decided to live away from his family's estate. Even though he was no longer his tutor, Sasuke knew that he always had something to learn from the stoic man.
"There's someone at the door," Kakashi told him slowly. He realized, just by looking at Sasuke's expression, that his mind was somewhere far away. Sure enough, the words didn't seem to register. "Should I let him in?"
:::::::::
The young angels Sasuke and Naruto had managed to land themselves in a tricky situation. They were trapped several miles beneath Yainehm's surface. Though Sasuke was mostly healed, Naruto was frantically thinking of a way to get out. If they were careless, they could easily be snuffed out. The blond angel wanted to find a way to let the others know of their location. He knew that Neji could easily help them the rest of the way if only he, and the others, knew where they were.
Naruto looked over to where Sasuke was sleeping. The way his friend seemed vulnerable and fragile asleep was a mystery to him. He had this overwhelming feeling of wanting to protect him with everything he had, and it was strange. Up until then, the one that always acted superior, smarter, and stronger had always been Sasuke. Come to think of it, all that the blond usually ever thought about was the honor of possibly becoming an anchor. He knew that the planet was becoming unstable, but he had never realized how bad the situation was until the dark-haired angel risked his life to protect him. He never wanted Sasuke to have to risk his life for him ever again. He was determined to figure out a way out of their dilemma, for both their sake. Even as those thoughts echoed in the blond's mind, the weariness of the day tugged a dark blanket of sleep over him.
Sasuke woke up, hours later, in the arms of his friend. The warmth behind him, though comforting, had him fighting a blush. He carefully lifted Naruto's right wing and scooted out of his grasp. Now that he was fully awake, he was starting to remember why he had awoken in the first place. He thought he heard a sad, soothing voice calling him. Sasuke looked all around but, of course, there was no one there besides them. Was he just imagining the voice? A light vibration drew Sasuke's attention to the ground beneath them. Instinctively, Sasuke put his ear to the floor.
"...broken."
The whisper was faint, but Sasuke knew that he wasn't dreaming. The voice was real.
"...tired and broken."
Sasuke frowned, willing his entire body to listen, if possible.
"I am so tired and broken."
Tentatively, Sasuke whispered. "Where is your voice coming from?"
Instantly, a small burgundy glowing spot appeared near his hand. Sasuke gaped at in in shock. The burgundy spot expanded and grew on the ground while green light shot up around him. With a gasp, Sasuke looked towards Naruto's sleeping form before everything disappeared in a blinding, burgundy hue.

Naruto stood at Sasuke's doorstep. He wasn't sure if he had the right address at first, but the person at the door told him that he'd let Sasuke know that he was there. The mansion was big enough to fit five average-sized houses inside. When the door opened again, Sasuke was standing before him. They stared at each other for what felt like hours.
"I better get going," Kakashi broke the silence, nodding a good-bye to both of them. "Sasuke. Naruto." He murmured in an amused tone. A moment later, the silvery-haired man was pulling out of the driveway.
"Follow me," Stated Sasuke. Not an order, but a masked plea.
Naruto followed Sasuke upstairs to the room where he assumed that Sasuke did most of his work in. Everything from rough sketches to finished artwork lined the walls. The blond was surprised to see that they were all angelically themed. He was even more surprised to find that they were all familiar scenes to him. Though, it would have been the perfect opportunity to bring it up, he wondered why he couldn't bring himself to work up the courage to tell the artist about his dreams. Luckily, he didn't have to be the first to let the cat out of the bag.
"Do you believe in past lives, Naruto?" Sasuke asked, taking two steps towards Naruto.
"I believe in past pain," Naruto replied, taking two steps back. The words felt strange to him, almost as if someone else were speaking them.
"Past loneliness?" Sasuke asked, continuing to walk towards Naruto.
"Past helplessness," Naruto supplied, looking down at his heels coming into contact with the wall behind him. He looked up to find Sasuke's entire body all but a couple of inches away from his own and his arms on either side of his shoulders.
"Past love?" This question was more of a whisper.
"Past heartache," Naruto whispered back, his eyes closing of their own free will.
Sasuke's entire being was in synch when he realized just how much he wanted to kiss the man before him. He wasn't going to deny himself that need. He carefully pressed his lips against Naruto's, his body almost trembling with the pleasure of that small contact alone. When Naruto didn't pull away, he parted his lips, deepening the kiss. He was savoring the moment, as if it was something that he had coveted for hundreds of years. He savored Naruto's mouth as if he was savoring the rarest of wines and there was only one bottle left in the world. He stopped, however, when he realized that blond wasn't kissing him back. In fact, he was...
A sob escaped Naruto's lips. Tears fell from his eyes, tears that he couldn't control or even try to stop. The blond wiped at them with a hand, allowing his body to slide down the wall until he was sitting down. He wrapped his arms around his knees, his head buried.
He was mumbling something that Sasuke couldn't hear. The dark-haired man knelt down, trying to make out what he was saying.
"Is this real?" He faintly whispered.
Sasuke himself didn't know. What was real and what was a dream seemed to be a jumbled mess in his head. "Does it matter? We're together, aren't we?"
Naruto lifted his head, a sad smile on his face. "For now."
