Arrogant boy,
Love yourself so no one has to.
They're better off without you.
Sasuke was blind.
No one knew exactly how it happened but when Sasuke turned up at the gates of Konoha one day with blood dripping out of his eyes, they didn't have a choice but to take him to Konoha's hospital.
When Naruto found out, he was pissed.
"How the FUCK did this happen?" Naruto shouted aggressively as he entered Sasuke's room.
Naruto spun around and faced Tsunade who was following closely behind. She looked like she wanted to punch him in the face.
"Sssshh! You'll wake him." Came Sakura's quiet hiss.
Naruto turned back around and saw Sakura sitting at Sasuke's bedside looking absolutely worn out.
It was an all too familiar sight, Except this time, Sasuke's eyes were bandaged and he looked completely wrecked.
Naruto's chest constricted painfully when his eyes landed on the pale figure on the bed.
He didn't dare go over to Sasuke's bedside because he knew that once he was there, he won't want to leave. So instead, Naruto stood at his place near the entrance of the room while Tsunade stalked past him and went over to Sasuke to check his vitals.
"He's going to be fine, Naruto. Tsunade-sama stopped the bleeding and stabilised his condition." Sakura explained quietly. "He's going to be fine." She breathed with relief, mostly to herself than to anyone else.
Naruto knew that, of-course he knew that. After all, he did just make Tsunade recount the incident explicitly, but that didn't stop his heart from beating so hard against his chest that Naruto couldn't even hear anything past the blood rushing through his ears.
"When will he wake up?" Naruto asked, still rooted to the spot near the door.
"Soon." Tsunade stated quietly.
