yaoi415 gave me this idea. fuyu_no_akegata reviewed it for me and contributed a lot to the overall flow. The lyrics are from “Heavy in Your Arms” by Florence + the Machine.

This is the final chapter! Thanks for reading and commenting. I really appreciate your feedback! I hope you've all enjoyed the story!

( The screaming ends when Naruto’s throat is too hoarse to produce words and his body shivers with weakness and strain. Inside his head, it never ends. )

This story is complete and will be updated daily from now until Sunday (there are four chapters). Thanks for reading and commenting. I really appreciate your feedback!

( Inside the apartment, time passes and stands still and freezes in place the way both boys’ arms have. It could have gone on like this forever—the broken thump of Naruto’s heart, his raspy breath, and the increasingly infrequent charges of demonic chakra—but it doesn’t. It won't. It never would have. )

 

 

 

Status: Complete.

part 1 - i was a heavy heart to carry
part 2 - is it worth the wait?
part 3 - my love's an iron ball
part 4 - this will be my last confession

The idea for this story is from yaoi415. We were talking about a story she would never write, and I asked to borrow it. <3

This story is angst incarnate. Warnings for angst, death, love, heartbreak, and smut. I wrote the first two chapters without a song, and I was afraid I wouldn't find one to inspire the ending. When fuyu_no_akegata suggested "Heavy in Your Arms" by Florence + the Machine, how could I refuse? It was perfect.
