"Well, are you going to fuck me or not?", Sasuke demands.
The man blinks and moves with a sudden hard thrust, and Sasuke suppresses a moan.
Looking at the mans dull Blank eyes it is clear that the question is not really a question.
but there's something liberating in pretending that thE nameless stranger on top of him is actually his lover.
That the two of them in this dark, damp room are lovers overcome with passion and desire. that he's a normal person, living a totally normal life.
But the man is lost in a world of illusions-who even knows what he is seeing? Perhaps he is envisioning a night with the one waiting for him at home.
And it makes Sasuke both parts, angry and resentful.
That for all his power and name, a faceless creature has more than him.
That for all his pride for all his confidence, he needs someone to feel whole, to feel complete.
(Because Itachi is dead and Naruto is gone and Sakura may have been but that time is long past.)
Another time he would have wished it did not have to be like this.
(He is not Naruto. He is not capable of changing the world with a bright smile and pretty words. nor is he Sakura with her glowing hands and gentle eyes.)
For Sasuke, there is only the cold harsh reality.
Another time Sasuke would have wished that he did not have to be set up on a pedestal so high in the sky that he is not even human anymore.
(Sasuke hasn't been a person for a long time.)
(But he wants it so much.)
(To be ordinary. To go along with life and not be exhausted with empty thoughts and pretty words of the ones he loves and does not love.)
Funny, isn't it?
Once all he'd wanted was power.
And now he doesn't.
(He's just tired.)
(The top of the world is lonely.)
There is something dark running through his body contaminating everything around him.
(Why can't he rip it out?)
Another time he would have wished for warmth.
The bright that surrounds everyone.
Mothers carrying their children.
couples holding hands.
Friends laughing.
(Naruto.
Sakura.)
Sasuke does not need the divine eyes to see this warmth.
Sasuke is so, so cold.
(Where is his fire?
He is an Uchiha, fireborn, firemade.so why is he so cold?)
Once he's done Sasuke teleports the man back home. When he wakes up, he'll be in bed next to his sweet love, unknowing of what just happened.
(and uncaring, had he known)
He moves slowly, shrugs on his cloak and ties his boots. He could open a portal but he'd rather not.
(He isn't a person but he's not a novelty either.)
He takes his time walking, the single hand crumpling a letter clearly addressed to Uchiha Sasuke from The Esteemed Hokage.
and if Sasuke wished, if Sasuke believed in wishes, the first wish of his would be very sImple
(he wishes he'd never known love)
