Summary: Sasuke thinks that there is no peace on earth yet why does he find hope in one boy who won't leave him alone?
A/N:
- Title is from the lyrics of the song 'I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day'



Other children his age may now be indulging in the joy this season normally brings, but Sasuke only wallows in grief. Two years have passed since his family had been stolen from him by the cruelty of fate, yet he the anguish over the loss is still fresh in his heart and he will forever nurse the hatred for the boy who caused it.

Not even the jovial atmosphere spilling over the village can chase his sorrow away. He prefers locking himself up in his apartment but his solitude was broken hours ago when that bull Naruto started pounding against his door, demanding him to come out or else.

Or else what? What can that loser do anyway? Annoy him relentlessly, that's what. That blond-headed fool seems to possess the natural talent to rile him up to no end.

Now Sasuke sits atop of a random building, watching some silly celebration in the square a few feet below him. He remembers Itachi taking him there every year before they had to head home for Yuletide dinner.

Itach. The mere thought of his brother ignites the anger he manages to suppress deep inside him most of the time. Once he graduates from the Academy two years from now and obtain a genin status, he will definitely train hard until he's strong enough to face his brother in battle.

"There you are," someone says and Sasuke does his best not to jerk when he's startled out of his thoughts. He need not turn around to know it's Naruto behind him. "I've been looking all over for you. What are you doing up here?"

"Hiding from you, obviously," Sasuke snaps back. Damn, just what kind of a ninja is he or will turn out to be if he can't even hide from this person?

Naruto laughs, taking the snide remark in stride like he always does. What's with this idiot anyway?

"Man, you have to do better than that, Sasuke. Anyway, I brought you this." He sets a paper bag beside Sasuke and starts rummaging inside it.

Curious, Sasuke's eyes slants over to the other boy. "What's that?"

"A couple of bento Iruka made for us. There's tori no karaage, sushi, some tofu with tomatoes and he made sure to put plenty in yours because he knows you like tomatoes." Naruto hands him a box, lips stretched into a bright smile, his bright blue eyes hold an blinding glee that warms Sasuke's heart somehow and…

Damn it! Why does this boy affects him so much?

Sasuke knows it's pointless to decline the offer because Naruto can be extremely insistent and pesky so he accepts the bento without a word or a glance spared at his classmate. His gaze falls on the festivity below them once more and Sasuke huffs at the irony on how these people are too blinded with blissfulness that they refuse to see there will be no peace in this world. But.

This boy sitting beside him, who has been treated as nothing but an outcast, can still smile through all his troubles. It makes Sasuke wonders… Is there still hope for him – for everyone – yet?
