[ The feeling of fist connecting with face is disgustingly satisfying, though that satisfaction is short-lived. He won't make another hasty attack, allowing time for Naruto to get to his feet. If he could find it in himself to walk away, he would, but that's just... not possible right now.
He hasn't gotten the answers he wants. ]
You can't have everything you want! Only a selfish child would think otherwise. [ Pot, meet kettle.
He doesn't understand it. Why should Naruto bother with him? It's not as if he hasn't done everything humanly possible to distance himself from the blond and try to force that tie to be severed. Why on earth would he want to hang onto someone like that? After everything he's done, why won't Naruto just wash his hands of him and be done? Why does he always have to get in the way of everything?
...of... whatever there is here to get in the way of.
This isn't home. Cerealia may not be huge, but there's enough space that they can just avoid one another. They can have their space without encroaching on each other's territory... so why are they fighting?
Oh. Yeah. Because he wanted to punch Naruto in the face for leaving. And for coming back. And for making people worry about him. And for several other reasons he can't recall at the moment. Not at all because somewhere inside, he was worried, though. Nope, not in the slightest.
It actually takes a lot of self-restraint to keep his voice at a normal volume -shouting outside in public is probably not the best idea given that most anyone in earshot doesn't know about what went on at home, nor is it any of their business- but somehow he manages, even if he's got to growl out the words through clenched teeth. ]
Why should you get to decide whether or not I need "saved"? Did you ever stop to think that maybe I don't want you to? What right do you even have to make that decision? Why the hell does it matter so damn much to you?
