First off I don't own anything. This is an angst/friendship/pending romance fic with no smut. So if you're looking for a good lemon either wait for later chapters or go somewhere else. I promise there will be lemons but not for a little bit. Hope you enjoy
-----On with the story-----
Sasuke had always been good at hiding his emotions. Mask set firmly in place whenever he was in the company of anyone, but when he is alone…that's another story. He was depressed, he knew that and he was okay with it. He was okay with looking out at the world and not seeing anything. Yes he missed his family, but they were becoming a distant memory. The only one left was his brother, who had not been seen in years. Some thought he was dead but Sasuke knew better. He was simply out their somewhere biding his time, waiting to kill again.
Maybe Itachi felt the way he himself did, maybe just maybe his Niisan was as hopeless as he was. This thought almost made the poor Uchiha feel better; he wasn't the only one out there who felt this way. But then again this could all be a sick fantasy of a sad boy who needs to somehow feel a connection to the world.
Sighing Sasuke knew he couldn't take this anymore, moving towards the medicine cabinet he opened it. Looking threw the contents, finding what he was looking for he grabbed it and walked back to his room. Popping the lid of the bottle of pills he emptied the contents and swallowed them in one fluid motion. Lying back on his bed he waited, a single tear running down his pale cheek. It would all be over in a matter of minutes…this thought comforted him and he smiled sadly.
This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too lateNaruto had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach, something wasn't right. On instinct he knew it was the Uchiha who was in trouble. Sprinting the short distance to the Uchiha estate that Sasuke still resided in, Naruto flung open the door without knocking. Quickly ascending the stairs Naruto burst into Sasuke's room. His breath hitched at the site, Sasuke was lying there white as a sheet but still breathing but shallowly.
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it around
'Cause it's not too lateIt's never too late
"TEME WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" Naruto shouted in panic.
Sasuke didn't move but his eyes locked with Naruto's almost in a silent plea. What he wanted Naruto didn't know, but he'd be damned if he let his best friend and teammate die.
Quickly walking towards the immobile boy, Naruto lifted him into a sitting position. While supporting him Naruto looked at the empty pill bottle next to the boy.
"Shit Sasuke…you didn't…no….you couldn't have!" Naruto gasped out.
Quickly Naruto did the only thing he could think of, he forced his finger into the taller boys mouth and pushed past his gag reflex. Sasuke gagged immediately and retched all over himself, Naruto and the bed. Half dissolved pills lay everywhere, and all Naruto could do was stare.
Snapping out of it he realized Sasuke needed to be taken care of and fast. Pulling the taller boy into his arms bridal style, Naruto sprinted with inhuman speed to Tsunade. Praying to Kami-Sama that she was close by. With what Naruto could only consider dumb luck, he found her on the street talking to some village children cheerfully. This cheerfulness disappeared instantly however when she saw Naruto with a crazed look holding an almost unconscious Uchiha.
No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It's not too late
It's never too late
"Naruto what happened?" Tsunade asked taking the raven-haired boy from Naruto and walking quickly towards the hospital, Naruto in tow.
"I got a bad feeling and went to check on him…he was lying in bed and well…there was an empty pill bottle next to him, I made him throw up the pills. He'll be okay right Tsunade-San?" The blonde rambled in a panicky voice.
"I don't know Naruto…he looks pretty bad. But he's lucky you found him before the pills dissolved fully."
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too lateNaruto's eyes started to water, and before he could stop it his body was shaking with sobs.
"Please fix him Tsunade-San…please." Naruto gasped crying harder.
"Don't…cry…Dobe…" Sasuke whispered almost to softly for anyone to hear. He was weak but he felt the need to comfort the blonde idiot, who had probably saved his life.
Looking at the raven-haired boy shocked, both Naruto and Tsunade exhaled sharply and Naruto even smiled softly threw his tears. The boy still had his sick twisted sense of humor, which I guess you could consider a good thing. The boy however passed out quickly, the energy used to speak was too much for him.
Quickening their pace the two finally reached the hospital, Naruto threw open the doors. They strode in and were greeted by a nurse whose face promptly went almost as pale as the unconscious boys.
This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong"I need a doctor, now!" Cried the nurse.
A doctor came rushing towards the group fallowed closely by two men with a stretcher. Placing the unconscious boy on the stretcher the doctor and the nurse rushed off to the ER fallowed closely by Naruto and Tsunade. They were however stopped by the nurse and told to wait in the waiting room until they called them back.
"He better be okay." Naruto growled out while pacing the hall, almost until you could see the path worn into the floor.
Sighing the older blonde merely stayed quite, knowing it would do no good to answer Naruto. It would only make him more nervous then he already was if she told him the Uchiha's chances.
Hours later
Naruto had finally stopped pacing and was now sitting down next to the blonde women. Every time he closed his eyes he would shake himself awake, determined not to sleep until he knew Sasuke would be okay.
A nurse appeared and Naruto quickly jumped up, "Is he okay?!" was the first thing out of the blondes mouth.
Sighing the nurse said "He should be okay, you were lucky you found him as soon as you did. You saved his life…he however is in really bad shape. It will take quite some time for his body to recover from all the toxins it was forced to ingest."
Both Tsunade and Naruto exhaled loudly simultaneously. Naruto thanked Kami-Sama for his friend's safety, before he remembered he hadn't seen Sasuke yet.
"When can I see him?" Naruto said quickly.
"You can now if you'd like, he is recovering but he is still unconscious." The nurse told Naruto who immediately jumped up.
"Lead the way, please." Naruto said sharply.
Fallowing the nurse into a white room, Naruto immediately ran to Sasuke's bed and fell down on his knees crying. The boy looked weak and he was paler then white, he was almost translucent. 'Uchiha Sasuke, The Avenger…the strongest rookie in Konoha, and last but not least my best friend…looks dead.' Naruto thought to himself still crying. While the blonde boy had his head down he didn't notice onyx eyes flutter and finally open.
"Dobe…I…told…you…not…to…cry." Sasuke spoke slowly, barely above a whisper. But to Naruto it was like Sasuke was talking right into his ear. Head shooting up, Naruto looked at Sasuke threw teary eyes. Not quite believing that he had heard the Uchiha speak at all.
"W-what?" Came the highly intelligent response.
Laughing, although it sounded more like coughing, Sasuke looked into the blondes azure eyes and smiled.
"Thank you for saving me Naruto." Sasuke said sincerely.
These words brought Naruto back to reality and if Sasuke hadn't been laying in a hospital bed at the time…oh boy would he be now! Furiously Naruto shook his fist at the raven-haired boy.
"Next time you want to kill yourself Uchiha, you come to me okay?! Don't fucking scare me like that! I thought you would die…" Naruto practically screamed. "What would I do without you?" he then added softly, almost to himself. Mentally shaking himself Naruto glared hard at the sick boy in front of him.
'Stupid Teme…how could he think of leaving me all alone?' Naruto thought sadly. Without thinking, Naruto leaned over and placed a soft loving kiss on Sasuke's pale cheek. "You scared me Sasuke…more then you know." Naruto whispered in the boy's ear, before going back to his original kneeling position.
Startled by the kiss Sasuke just stared at the blonde blushing slightly, not knowing why he had done that and even more important why had the simple kiss sent shivers down his spine?
"We'll get threw this Sasuke…I promise. I can help you, I'll stay at your house if you want so you wont be as lonely." Naruto said desperately.
"I'd like that Uzumaki…" Sasuke said, voice steadier then it had been before.
Smiling at the Uchiha, Naruto Got up to tell Tsunade that Sasuke was okay. He was stopped before he could take a step however by an ice-cold hand on his own.
"Please don't leave me." Sasuke said, fear showing in his voice. Something Naruto had never heard there before.
Sitting down on the bed next to Sasuke then laying back, Naruto cuddled up to Sasuke. Placing a warm friendly arm over the Uchiha's body protectively.
"If it'll keep you safe, I'll never leave you." Naruto whispered in Sasuke's ear.
