Artist's Comments

Sometimes, he can't sleep. Sometimes, like on missions, he lies there, curled on his side like Sasuke's curled up, watching the back of his teammate. Sometimes, he watches, as Sasuke makes a sound that's almost a word but not, as he twitches and curls tighter and hides his face.

but only sometimes, when Sasuke actually lets himself sleep deep enough for dreams, Naruto creeps close enough to listen to the hitch in his breath. Sometimes, he catalogues the way Sasuke seems thin and delicate and almost fragile--but then he remembers that Sasuke is more like woven steel and wire and black glass.

Then sometimes, when Sasuke falls too deep for just rest and dreams whatever it is that makes him shiver, Naruto kicks him, and hisses"Stop snoring bastard," because it's all he can do not to grab hold of him and shake him awake.

Sometimes, it's all he can do and Naruto's fine with that, he's fine with watching over the Sasuke-ball under the blankets, watching for unwanted dreams, because he knows how it hurts when no one is there to wake you from them.

omg, there's actually a story behind this...XD or, at least, a story in my head for this picture. hmm. i should write out the full version...it's lots more pretty and angsty and :giggle: a lot more smexy.....but damn, isn't that tight? i can't believe i drew that at one in the morning....

yeah....you like?

This difficult pose is done very nicely, and the anatomy is good too. I do really like the pose in this, it looks natural. The pillow wrinkles are great as well :w00t:

i like the story you put with the picture ^_^
and the image itself is beautiful - very soft, graceful, and...it makes me want to curl up in bed and just pass out. :D

:heart:

I liked the darkened outlines, with the details just shaded? in. I also loved the little Uchiha fans on the pillow cases.

More story please?
