The reaction to my frostkettle fic has been so overwhelmingly sweet and I just!!! Thank you everyone who commented kind things so much! And to the people who enjoyed it in silence, thank you for being here with me in my kipperlilly induced insanity
literally cannot stop thinking about how after their second battle at the valley of the end after sasuke had tried so hard to cut naruto out of his life because he was the last silver of light in his seemingly endless tunnel of darkness the last persevering and undying reminder of his humanity and the love he could give and receive sasuke looks in horror at naruto’s blown up hand, the price he had to pay to finally bring him back and cannot make sense of it he cannot make sense of why naruto is so fixated on him so obsessed with taking on his hatred and help him towards a life at least a little more devoid of it he cannot make sense of why how everyone had given up on him everyone had stepped away but naruto would never even think of it when everyone turned their backs on him naruto just took more steps forward. and so he asks desperate for an answer desperate to know and naruto’s “you’re my friend” response just doesn’t cut it for him anymore because when had friends started behaving like this? when had friends ever felt like this? so he questions naruto again but this time he directly questions the nature of his feelings and here’s the catch because naruto cannot make sense of it either. naruto has built and cultivated so many friendships to this point the meaning of the word should come as easy as breathing to him but nobody is like sasuke to him. sasuke is not his friend, sasuke is stashed away in his very own spot deep in naruto’s heart and mind and when the word friend is so trivial and applicable to so many it is not enough to describe what naruto feels for him anymore. sasuke is his everything the very person that gave his life for him all those years ago in a whim that naruto could never forget no matter how much time passes and how many moons go by with them not seeing each other. naruto cannot put a word on the ache he feels in his chest when sasuke is not with him he cannot put a word to the lightness he feels in his heart when sasuke comes back so he settles for a literal explanation. he says it as it is: when you hurt, i hurt, so much i cannot leave it alone
smiling like an insane person alone in my room thinking about trent supporting colin and seeing him and making him feel a little less alone in the world <3
