And 99% Of It Is In Relation To Sasuke JFDSOGK - Blog Posts

"And now you saw me."

Sasuke had stopped trying to take inventory on where people were exactly whenever anyone came nearby his cell. Not many did -- aside from those at the usual intervals to make sure he was fed, relieved, and that his confines were still active. If it wasn't for keeping him alive, he was half sure they would simply leave him here to rot.

.... Or maybe not.

Not so long as Naruto was still around, he supposed.

His mind wandered lazily, wondering the other's life outside of here now. Did he voice going to see him to anyone else? Did they try to talk him out of it? He probably would.

" ... I'm still alive. If that's what you wanted to know." Sasuke brushed his tongue over slightly chapped lips, exhaling gently. He shifts his body with a small grunt, 'staring' straight ahead, not bothering to look back to the other. "You can go now."

It makes Naruto's heart ache to see his friend like this. Imprisoned and blindfolded, caged up like a dog. Naruto understands that people see him as a threat, that this is what they feel like needs to be done, but they had once seen him as a threat too.

Naruto wishes he could reach through, pull the blindfold off, give Sasuke the trust that Naruto knows he can earn.

Truthfully, Naruto doesn't know what exactly he's doing here. He just wants to make sure Sasuke knows he isn't alone, that not everyone has turned their back on him. That Naruto has never turned his back on him.

"I wanted to see you. I wanted to make sure you were okay.....or as okay as you can be right now."
