( he listens. quiet, and steady. breathing deep because he knows the rhythm will be helpful and settling to sasuke. then, gently, he peels him away from his shoulder to look him in the eyes. )
Sasuke, you will never have nothing left of me. If that does ever happen... you will have the time we've shared, the things we've done, the love we've grown. You might hate it, it might hurt — but loss is part of life. Some people say grief is what love leaves behind. But loving someone means accepting that one day you might lose them. In some cases, that you will. But what I know about you, and what I know about me is that I wouldn't want you to suffer losing me forever, and you wouldn't want me to worry about you in that way. You are stronger than you know, sweetheart. You'd find that strength, and be my good boy, and live. But it would suck at first, and you'd hurt, and it would dig up a thousand old traumas for you, and you'd lash out at all the people around you for a while. And that's okay too.
