(Sasuke POV)
I had just finished my first period class.
I aced a pop-quiz; I finished all my work early, and even had some extra time to draw in my sketchbook before class ended. I was on my way to my second period class when I ran into the usual obstacles. Rabid fan-girls, jealous boyfriends, and suck-ups that I knew just wanted to leach off of me. After a few torturous minutes, I was finally able to bypass the crazy throng of girls, and walk the few steps up to my favorite seat in class.
It was my favorite seat because it was settled in the corner by the window, away from everyone, yet it was still within good view and earshot of the teacher. I had been so busy making sure that no girls followed me up, that I didn't even notice that someone had taken up my seat.
I just stared at the intruder, shocked. I wondered who the hell this guy thought he was. He must have been new, because everyone knew never to mess with my favorite seat, or me, in general. I was about to yell at the idiot, when he turned away from the window and faced me.
All the anger I had, melted away into confusion and slight concern; here this mystery guy was, looking startled. One second, his big blue eyes were wide with fear and pain, and the next, a look of surprise.
Getting over my initial pause, I was, again, about to tell the guy off for sitting in my spot, when a pair of pale arms came from behind me, and shoved the new kid off my seat.
Not expecting the push, the new kid landed hard on his side, and actually took the whole chair with him. He grabbed the middle of his chest and started breathing erratically, eyes wide in panic. Still trying to regain a breath, he winced and got up, tenderly grabbing his stuff as he tried to get away from the crowd of people, only to find he had been boxed in.
I looked at him worriedly. A fall like that shouldn't have caused him to react that way, let alone leaving him breathing as if he had run a marathon. I turned around and glared at the culprit.
In all her pink glory, stood the leader of the fan-girls, and my number one stalker; Sakura Haruno.
Being used to my glares, she remained unaffected, and was instead sending a pretty nasty glare of her own to the new kid. I was suddenly really angry. What right did she have to just go around shoving people? Especially at my expense? Acting as if she was doing me a huge favor in taking care of my personal matters. I seethed and increased my glare tenfold.
"Sakura. You did not have to push that guy out of my seat." My tone was nothing less than deadly. She of course brushed it off, much to my annoyance.
"Oh, Sasuke! I know you can take care of this... trash... on your own, but I just wanted to show you that I could help you! So that you don't have to over exert yourself when dealing with these... these lesser people!" She batted her eyes and smiled sweetly, completely ignoring my bubbling anger towards her.
I clutched the bridge of my nose in hidden frustration. I turned back to the new kid and my eyes widened a fraction. He looked a lot more pale then I remembered him being a few seconds ago. Something was wrong.
"Hey, dobe? What's the matter with you?" He didn't seem to hear me, so I walked closer to get his attention. I asked him again in a softer tone. While waiting for his response, I noticed his still uneven breathing and the tight grip of his chest.
He mumbled something I didn't catch.
"What?" He took a deep breath. He looked pained, but straightened up, looked me in the eye and repeated,
"I need to go to the nurse's office. Please... move." He was barely louder than a whisper, his voice sounded raspy and in his eyes I could only make out one thing: desperation.
Whatever was going on with him, it was serious. I don't know why I did it, but seeing that kid, pained, afraid and desperate, made something in me snap. I wanted to help him. I needed to. This surge of protectiveness welled up inside me, and the next thing I knew, I had grabbed onto his arm and wrapped it around my shoulder to help walk him out of the classroom.
"Move out of our way." My voice was flat and serious. It left no room for argument. Everyone, still shocked by my sudden attitude shift, just parted around us, giving me enough space to get the new kid out the door.
Once we made it down the hall, I realized that someone was following us. I turned my head too look and cursed.
She was quickly approaching us, jealously and determination plainly written on her face as she looked between the new kid and me.
"Sasuke, why are you helping him? He's a nobody! Just leave him! He can walk on his own! Plus, your going to be late to class! Kakashi will be showing up any minute!" She closed the distance between us and yanked me out of our hold, thus resulting me tripping, and landing on top of him.
I glared at the pinkette, knocking her outstretched hand away and hoisting myself off the guy, only to turn and see that he was now moaning in pain, and seizing his chest for dear life. He gasped for breath as fresh tears cascaded down his face. Not attempting to wipe the tears away, he staggered slowly to his feet. He looked back at me with emotions I couldn't read, before snapping his head forward and shuffling down the hall to the nurse's office.
I was about to run after the new kid when a pair of polished hands grabbed my arm and yanked me back, again.
"Leave him Sasuke! He's probably just faking anyway! There's no way I could have hurt him from that little shove! He's just trying to get you alone so he can do God-knows-what to you!" She faked concern, and then smiled brightly, as if her pleading solved all my problems and lowered her eyes seductively. "Besides, if you want go and be alone, why not go with me? We could… go somewhere else and do whatever you want to do… for however long you wanna to do it." She tried to smile sexily at me and even had the audacity to drag her pointer-finger down my chest, only to stop and rest on my belt, tugging it closer to her.
My left eye twitched before my resolve crumbled, and all hell broke loose.
"Sakura. For. The. Love. Of. God. GET AWAY FROM ME!" I shoved her away, hard. She landed on her ass wincing in pain. She stared up at me, eyes glassy with unshed tears and confusion. "Wh-why Sasuke? I don't understand!? All I've ever wanted was to be with you! God! Why won't...you give us a chance? I know I can make you happy!" She was bawling now. Pathetic.
"Because you are annoying! You will never be anything more to me than some idiotic, conniving bitch, who only looks out for herself. I will never love you. Hell, I don't even like you! We are not friends. We will never be anything more than classmates, and even that is stretching it. I loathe you. Stay the hell away from me." I glared icy daggers at her as I let everything I said drip with venom. I turned and ran in the direction the new kid went, not even bothering to help Sakura up, or caring to notice the hot tears falling down her face.
I didn't see the way she evilly smirked at my retreating back.
I ran for what seemed like hours (though it was only a minute) before getting to the Nurse's office. I was about to knock on the door when I noticed it was opened a crack. With my better judgment leaving me, and curiosity taking its place, I leaned in, and listened.
"…Well Uzumaki-san, I am so relieved I was able to help you in time! This could have been very serious." That had to be the nurse, Miss Shizune.
"… I know. I'm just glad that that guy was able to help me. What did you say his name was?" That had to be the new kid. His voice was soft spoken, but sounded relieved and not in pain. I released a breath I hadn't even realized I was holding. I wondered briefly why I even cared so much for a guy I didn't even know.
"Well from what you've told me, it sounds a lot like Sasuke Uchiha," She chuckled, "However that sounds so unlike him to be so helpful… but at any rate, I'm very pleased to know that he was able to help get you here Uzumaki-san. Like I said, with your… condition, being at school is going to be a difficult challenge for you to overcome. It could even be life threatening if your not careful." She sounded serious, but her tone was light.
I just stared blankly ahead. What the hell could this Uzumaki guy have, that his life could be in danger just from being at school? I was too concerned at this point to even wonder why I was feeling concerned in the first place.
"Please, call me Naruto, Miss Shizune. Anyway, I'm used to it. I'm usually really careful. I was jus caught off guard earlier. I didn't mean to sit in Sasuke's spot; I had got to class early, so I just picked a spot. I thought I would be okay running up the few steps to the top... But once i sat down I was out of breath and my chest hurt a bit. But I was going to move as soon as I realized that I took his seat! But that's when all-of-sudden that pink haired girl shoved me. But I barely fell on it though! It wasn't until I was down the hall with Sasuke, and that…. Pink thing came back, that it got worse. She actually yanked him out from under me, and that Sasuke guy fell right on top of me; I was so scared! for a second there, I honestly thought I popped it… It hurt… so bad." I heard soft sniffles and my heart clenched painfully. I caused him more pain than I even realized, and all because of that bitch not being able to mind her own damned business. I couldn't stand it anymore. I had to apologize for hurting him (even if it wasn't my fault). I stood up straight, and opened the door.
However, the sight I was met with, caused me to go into shock again that day.
There in front of me, was a shirtless, tanned blonde with very surprised, teary blue eyes looking straight into my own. But the cute, shirtless guy in front of me was not the cause for my sudden lack of speech, or the slack in my jaw. Oh no. It was what was on that tanned, toned chest that caused my uncharacteristic, bewildered state.
You see… on his chest, beneath a thin layer of skin, but what was still clearly visible and very much on the outside, was his wildly beating heart.

A/N: So i posted this story a few days ago, but just checked it today and realized all my spelling errors! How rude of me! So i went ahead and fixed up as many as i could catch, and even added some extra sentences!
A/N: And just in case you didn't know, Naruto suffers from a congenital malformation called Ectopia Cordis, which causes the heart to be abnormally located on the outside of the thorax.
A/N: So this was just a short one-shot idea I had, that I just had to get out of my system. But you know, if you guys want a little more from this AU, all you gotta do is review!
Reviews are appreciated, but not needed, as I write these stories for the mere fun of writing and for you, the readers pleasure… and okay… maybe also that way I can get Sasuke and Naruto to do what ever I want them to do… is another reason I write… don't judge!
COMING SOON
A story involving Naruto… but he's actually a girl… and Minato isn't her dad… but her singing coach.
It's a MinatoXfemNaru one-shot, slightly based on the song "Dance for you" by Beyoncé. But it's not an incest pairing in this AU. Naruto and Minato are not related at all!
Hope This interests some of you readers out there!
Thanks again and hope you all enjoyed the story!
