Naruto's having a strange dream.
For some unknown reasons, he knows that he's in his sleep, although the way he feels during his dream is weirdly obvious and real. For the start, it's like he's watching a movie, main character of which is himself. He sees himself, younger than him at present, standing at the top of Konoha's centre tower in the mild morning sunshine. Wind ruffles his bright
tresses, also his long coat. Of course Naruto remembers which day it is: It's the day he officially becomes Hokage.
"Why are you here? Everyone is waiting, Hokage sama."
This voice is so familiar that he can recognize it this instant without turning around. Hearing the letters "Hokage sama" from this person is odd enough, but in the other hand, it makes him feel much prouder of himself. He grins widely with the man behind him although he cant see his smile. "Come on, don't act informally like that, I'm still just your Dobe."
The other approaches slowly. Fair complexion, ebony hair, nonchalant, sharp eyes but lots softer when looking at him – The most beautiful human in Naruto's life, Uchiha Sasuke.
Standing next to him, Sasuke clears his throat.
"Congratulations, Dobe." He says softly. The beam on Naruto's face widens. Brandnew light of day gives them a big warm hug.
"Stop smiling from ear to ear, you look like an idiot." Sasuke grimaces. Naruto answers by a hearty laugh while glancing at the raven. Afterwards, his laugh waters down, gradually
turns into a tender smile. Naruto sees him raises his hand, makes a gentle gesture to caress the raven's cheek "Do you know why I want to become Hokage that bad?"
Sasuke gives him a question look. The blond chuckles, moving closer. Fresh dazzle sunlight becomes an incredibly wonderful background. By leap and bound, the new Hokage pulls
his Uchiha into an unpredictable embrace. Not letting the latter react, he whispers smoothly into his ear, his tone is warm and firm: "Sasuke is more important than anything. I'll

protect Sasuke to the end of my life."
Naruto remembers this too, extremely well. How can he forget the way his dearest's face fast reddened, whereas his eyes opened so wide because of confusion. This expression was epic! It was like Naruto was proposing to Sasuke. Naruto knows that he is the one and only creature can see this countenance on face of a prideful Uchiha such as Sasuke.
Yet, out of the blue, everything turns into inflection in a mirror. Naruto jumps, noticing how dark it is around him. The only thing he's able to see is this mystery mirror in front of
him. Then abruptly, the mirror breaks, meanwhile he feels himself suddenly slip into the infinite darkness. Being filled with terror, Naruto recognizes he's falling deep down, fast
and unstoppably. His mind whirls as a grinder…
Finally, before he could adjust, they all stop: the falling, the whirling. His eyes have shut since when even he doesn't know. Profoundly, he likely senses his nerves relax a bit, but
not to long, as another wrong sensation hits him hard like a truck. Something warm, maybe too warm, is leaning against his chest, cuddling up in his arms. A hint of blood scent
gives him the shivers. His eyes snap open. Next second, he freaks out.
Bloody color is all over fair complexion, ebony hair is soaked, graceful eyes looking at only him are closing tightly as if they wont ever open again.
It's his Sasuke… His precious Sasuke…
Naruto is completely immovable. His pupils blank out, either his brain. This scenery is so real and fearful that he absolutely forgets that it's just a dream. A nightmare.
Through an urgent breath, he calls his lover's name: "Sa… Sasuke…"
"Sasuke! No no! Sasuke!"
"SASUKE!"
And he wakes up with a start, bathing in sweat
