It’s not empty words I’m after. There was something else I desired all along. Not mutual understanding, friendship, companionship, or anything of the sort. I don’t care about being understood. I simply wish to understand. Understand, know, and rest easy in that knowledge– gain some peace of mind. Wanting to know people inside-out because being in the dark terrifies me is an awfully self-indulgent, egoistic, and arrogant wish. It’s downright despicable and disgusting. Having a desire like that makes me sick to the stomach! But if it’s at all possible to share that desire– if it’s possible to have a relationship where you’re free to burden one another with that repulsive self-gratification…I know that it’s out of the question! I know that it’s out of my reach! Even so! Even so, I… I want something genuine.Hikigaya Hachiman, Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru.Zoku (Episode 8)
Anonymous asked: Do you know some good narusaku fics that don't shit on sasuke or ship him with anyone else? I used to be a huge NS fan but kind of got out of touch with it. Plus I adore Sasuke and personally don't want him with anyone. Unless it's me of course 😏
I sure do! To me the ones without Sasuke in them at all are the best since I just try to avoid his existence altogether, LOL.
