so this is what responsibility feels like

Wow. Having a dead computer makes me actually behave like a med student. I went to my two labs this morning -- Jesus Christ, bones are tricky little buggers when you actually look at them, and I am rethinking my love of the clavicle -- and then I spent some time in the LIBRARY with my NOTES and I've thoroughly revised my upper limb anatomy and the entire text chapter on clinical examination of the respiratory system. Man. The things you have time to do when you don't have classes from 8am-5pm (this week is remarkably light \o/) and also don't have fic writing itself feverishly in your head.

Tomorrow classes finish at 11am and I am determined to be likewise productive in the afternoon, but you know what, I'm kind of enjoying this being-uncharacteristically-prolific thing, so for the gaps in between study:

Drabble requests?

You know what I write. Though if you're having trouble deciding, I'm on this serious animated-things kick at the moment, so throw me Avatar/anime-of-your-choice prompts and everyone will be happy.

(Please note that due to the fickle natures of both free time & inspiration, I am not putting my hand on my heart and swearing to finish every request this time, but...request away anyhow! We'll see how I go.)

For the first two months after he returns to Konoha, Sasuke is a sleepwalker who has gone wandering and has woken up somewhere entirely unfamiliar. Naruto watches him struggling to fit into the shallow curve of his old life, only to find that he is adorned with new edges that chafe and destroy and make the fit impossible.

Naruto is glad -- so glad -- that he's making the effort, because for a long time he was afraid, guilty-afraid, that maybe Sasuke wouldn't. But they're a team again, sort of, and Sasuke is alive, sort of, and at least when Naruto tries to yell him into acknowledging that he has woken up home, finally, home, Sasuke immobilises him with wires before he can get too far. So he's still shinobi, if nothing else, and Naruto would rather like to run his hands over the new edges and see if they fit with his own, but first Sasuke has to let him close enough to touch.

"What's the point of this?" Naruto demands, tugging insistently until the wires fall with a loose releasing flick of Sasuke's hands. "Who are you fighting?"

"Nothing. Nobody. This is not a war," Sasuke says, turning away, and Naruto thinks that maybe that's the problem.

So the next morning he carefully attaches a tag to a kunai and hides on a rooftop, and when Sasuke opens his front door it explodes in his face.

The second kunai embeds itself in the scorched doorframe: its tag does not explode, but it reads, Well, if it's war you want.

And then, Tag.

hahaa, oh Naruto <3<3 That was pure bliss. The entire ficlet was infused with Naruto's hope and, despite that Naruto is painfully dense at times, I think it's his simple-mindedness that helps him understand Sasuke the best... if that makes sense. XD

Wonderful writing <3 and thank you!
