2. Kisses are like tears. The only ones that are real are the ones you can't hold back.

13. I think the worst thing about life would be having to go through it without you.

20. Goodbyes make you realize what you've gained, what you've felt, and what you've taken for granted.

44. Tears are words the heart cannot say.

A/N: I do realize that there are a lot of quotes for this one little thing... But I had wanted to express the quotes which I had connected to when writing this drabble thing. Oh. Just in case for those that only watch the anime, this contains spoilers that are post time-skip. Those that can recognize, know what scene had inspired me to write this. I know that some would think that this spoiler isn't really spoil-y, but to me, this event was an important one to Naruto.

And now, to the drabble.

All Naruto could do was stare in stunned silence and shock.

It would have turned into an all-out brawl, if Orochimaru didn't prevent Sasuke from finishing those seals.

All he could do was watch in slow motion as Sasuke spoke, and in a flurry of leaves, disappear.

As realization finally set in, he felt as if the world crashed around him.

Last time, Naruto wasn't able to watch Sasuke leave. He had already passed out before that happened. If he had stayed awake, Sasuke wouldn't have been able to leave.

...But he didn't realize it was so gut wrenching to actually see it.

And Naruto finally caved in to reality.

That he lost Sasuke, again. And truly, this time, of Sasuke's own will.

He didn't care who was there, he had to finally let go 2 years of pent up frustration, disappointment, and grief.

Cry Naruto, cry.
