Save Me
Chapter Two: First Taste
"Uzumaki? Uzumaki?" An icy voice snapped in his ears, successfully breaking him from his daze. Lidded blue eyes meet furious onyx ones. Shit. Next to him Kiba cleared his throat and shifted uncomfortably, apparently trying to snap him from his day dream as well.
"Are you going to continue standing their all day drooling or are you going to start an IV drip?" The ravens voice was smooth, stern, and irritated.
"Ah haha right, sorry…" He chuckled nervously, blushing and scratching his cheek bashfully. His current patient, Mr. Stetson, looked from him to Sasuke, his eyes full of worry as they pleaded with the Uchiha for him to do it instead of the blond.
"Well what are you waiting for?" Sasuke snapped when he continued to stand their, a dumbfounded look on his face. Naruto flinched at his tone and immediately rushed forward to complete his task, he scowled at Sasuke as he passed him. Stupid raven, it was his fault after all why he spaced out. If it wasn't for that beautiful face, those light pink lips, and those dark piercing black eyes, he would have been paying attention to every word the raven spoke. He would not have spaced out, imagining what those lips would taste like, what that tongue would feel like inside his mouth or all over his-
"Dammit…" He mumbled aloud, cursing his self, his semi-erection, and his stupid dirty mind. Here he was his first day, imagining dirty thoughts about his resident, who's first name he didn't even know.
"Is their a problem Dr. Uzumaki? Please don't tell me you aren't capable of doing such a simple thing?" Sasuke drawled form behind him, clearly annoyed.
The blond didn't answer but instead sent him a glare.
"Then by all means please refrain from spewing profanities and scaring you're patients."
Naruto shot Sasuke another dirty look before glancing at his patient, who had his head completely turned away from him, his eyes were shut closed, and he was muttering something under his breath that closely sounded like a prayer.
"Ahaha sorry about that Sir, you're IV is all done and looks good."
Behind him Sasuke sighed, loud and long before disappearing into the hall muttering to his self. "Today is going to be a long day."
Naruto and Kiba sat sprawled on the small round tables, groaning and grunting, as they made an attempt to eat their lunches.
"Well don't you guys look like shit." Gaara stated sitting at the table with his own tray of food.
They both looked up and glared at the comfortable red head.
"Fuck you." They grumbled in unison, both of their voices muffled by the table top.
Gaara's green eyes looked at them curiously before taking a bite of his sandwich. "I'm guessing Uchiha isn't as hot as he looks."
"He's fucking amazing." Naruto breathed out, grinning into the table.
"Oh?" Gaara was slightly confused, "Then why do you look like hell?"
"Besides being a total ass, he's fast as hell, a freaking genius. I think we saw seventeen patients in the first hour or two. I lost count after that." Kiba mumbled from the table top.
"He's fucking amazing." Naruto repeated apparently lost in a daze. Kiba turned his head and exchanged a look with Gaara before bursting out laughing.
"What?" Naruto asked confused, though his wide grin remained plastered on his face. He had to admit Dr. Uchiha was a little rough around the edges sure….Damn no, The raven was an asshole. He couldn't deny it, but everything about the pale man fascinated him. Never had he met someone like him in all his years, and he had met some really weird people. In the first hour of being on ravens service, both him and Kiba had been yelled at three times, cursed at more times than they could count, called idiots at least five, four nurses were reduced to tears, one of them being a quite manly male nurse at that, and one patient fainted at just the sight of him. After that they were subjected to the 'pit' and were forced to rectal exams, sutures, more sutures, wound wrapping, and some more rectal exams. How the hell there could be so many people in this city that required rectal exams Naruto had no idea.
Though performing sutures while a tall dark beauty hovered over you was not the easiest. Naruto could even feel the Uchiha's body heat he was so close to him, he could feel his hot breath against the back of his neck, sending shivers down his spine. It was beyond nerve racking and he ended with a sloppy sad excuse of a suture as a result. The look the raven gave him, was unbearable and made Naruto blush. He looked at Naruto as if he had just met the stupidest person in the world and hissed at him to 'do it over, or I'll find someone that can'. Thank god the lady who's palm he was suturing didn't mind if he re-did it. He most certainly didn't make a good first impression on the raven. During their first rounds Naruto answered every question asked and even interrupted Kiba a few times in hopes of getting the ravens attention, but only received a heat glare and snap of 'If I would have wanted your answer Uzumaki I would of asked you instead of Inuzuka.' Today to say the least wasn't turning out as good as he expected and it was only lunch time.
"You are so gay!" Kiba exclaimed, taking a sip of his Pepsi. "He's the devil incarnate!"
The blond snorted.
"Really Kiba, the devil?" Naruto mocked.
"You saw how quick he made that guy cry." Kiba hissed in a hushed tone, while glancing around the room for the said devil, afraid what would happen to him if the Uchiha heard him.
"He made a guy cry?" Gaara's nonexistent eyebrows raised.
"Oh god you should have seen it!" Naruto popped up, his eyes wide and full of excitement. "It was freaking brilliant."
"It was pretty funny.." Kiba admitted.
"I'd pay money to see that again."
"You'll be broke before your rent is do then." Gaara stated, "From what I've heard from some of the other residents, Uchiha is one of the toughest residents here." Kiba paled at the statement. "I heard he even caused one of the residents to quit when he was still just an intern."
"Oh fuck oh fuck…" Kiba grumbled, letting his head hit the table with a dull thud "I'm going to get dropped, and then I'm not going to be able to pay my rent….then I'll be homeless…and then I'll really never get a date…."
"Relax." Naruto chuckled at his melodramatic friend. "I doubt he's that bad. They probably are just stupid rumors."
"I'm sorry, but were you not present today during rounds." Kiba hissed. "Oh I forgot you weren't, you were too busy drooling."
Naruto threw him a quick glare and stuck his tongue out at him.
"I heard his uncle has some major authority over the hospital too…" Gaara went on, loving the looks he was getting out of Kiba. He loved to tease the overdramatic canine.
"Great…that makes me feel sooo much better." Kiba spat sarcastically, giving Gaara a look.
Where's the other one?" Gaara asked, ignoring Kiba.
"Who? Oh Sai, who knows. Doing charts probably or hiding from the devil. The guy is a little weird." Kiba grumbled.
"You've got that right, he kept staring at me." Naruto shivered slightly, remembering his lifeless eyes practically undressing him.
"Speaking of." Gaara announced motioning towards the entrance of the cafeteria.
Naruto moved at a speed so fast Gaara and Kiba didn't even see him turn. Though Naruto had originally thought his eyes would be falling upon Sai, but smiled when instead they fell upon Sasuke, as he entered through the cafeteria doors. Naruto's mouth gaped open as he watched the beautiful dark haired pale raven stand in front of the coffee machine. The raven filled up a very large cup of coffee. Skipping over the food, and found the nearest empty table and sat at it. Seconds later he was joined by a disgruntled looking paled eyed brunette.
"That's a good look for you." Sasuke stated with a smirk.
"I fucking hate interns. There's no way we were that stupid." Neji snapped shoving his sandwich angrily into his mouth. "I think I may be inclined into committing murder."
Sasuke snorted, choking on his coffee slightly. "That bad?"
"You have no idea. One looks like a girl, but is actually a guy, the other one won't even talk or take off his sunglasses, and then there is Yamanaka." Neji couldn't even get the rest out and instead raised his eye brows and hands indicating he couldn't even describe in words how annoying the girl was.
Sasuke's smirk widened, feeling quite thankful for his interns. They were dumb and foolish but at least he could stand them, not counting Sai of coarse. Sai just seemed to irritate him beyond the rest.
"What about yours?"
"Stupid, all of them of coarse. Couldn't even do a proper suture. A pale wierdo, a hyper dog, and a beautiful blond."
Neji's head perked up hearing the last one.
"Oh?" He inquired further.
"Hn."
"Well that's rare for you." Neji stated. Throughout the time he's known Sasuke, that being since he was five years old, Sasuke had always kept to his self and never really opened up to anyone. Neji himself even had to force Sasuke to be his friend. To this day Sasuke would openly tell anyone who asked that they weren't friends, just acquaintances. Neji didn't mind though, he was used to the ravens personality and deemed that Sasuke was an interesting person to be around and he truly enjoyed his company.
Shikamaru was the same, they both stuck to the Uchiha like a piece of tape, even if the raven denied them, they would always be there for him, and have been. They noticed the major change in his personality after his parents deaths. It was to be expected though. Neji remembered the exact time and place he was when he recieved the call. He couldn't believe, it made him sick to his stomach to even just think about the horrible incident. Sasuke would never openly admit being attracted to someone unless he was really intrested in them, and judging by the small smirk on his lips, he was into this said intern.
"Shut up." Sasuke growled, wishing he would of kept his mouth shut.
"Don't be like that. Which one is he? Did you say a blond?" Neji asked excited, glancing around the room.
"Will you stop that!" Sasuke snapped at him, pulling on his arm to get his attention back to him.
"I'll see him sooner or later."
"Yeah and when you do, you'll keep your mouth shut." Sasuke hissed as his pager went off for the who knows time that morning.
Neji snorted as Sasuke threw him a dirty glare, and stalked out of the cafeteria. Naruto watched the conversation from the other side of the room and scowled at the pale eyed brunette that chatted so familiarly with the raven. Who the hell was he? From what Naruto observed of the raven so far that day, he really didn't get along with anyone, more or less everyone seemed to be afraid of him, and scuttled out of his way when ever he came around. Soon the raven was up and leaving, throwing his coffee away on the way out. A little disappointed, Naruto returned to his food, before both his and Kiba's pagers went off as well.
"Your late again!" Sasuke snapped at Sai, who arrived 20 minutes after he paged them, and 15 minutes after Naruto and Kiba arrived. Sai's pale face turned a light shade of pink as Sasuke returned his attention to their current patient. It annoyed Sasuke to no end, what the hell was this idiot doing on his first day that seemed to make him late every time Sasuke summoned him. He was never late during his internship…well maybe once or twice, but he always got his ass handed to him for being late, and made a note to never be late again. Kakashi had been his resident and always gave out the oddest most painstaking punishments. Sasuke himself was on the receiving end to a few and felt he should maybe see a shrink for all the damage they caused him.
"Hello Mrs. Norio, I'm Dr. Uchiha-"
"That's Ms. Doctor."
"-and I'll be taking care of you." He continued as if the women hadn't spoken, causing Naruto to snort, and turned to his three interns, once again his eyes lingered on bright blue ones. "Why don't you tell us Dr. Inuzuka."
"Ah right…" Kiba flustered, excited, he quickly flipped open her chart and began reading off her symptoms. " Anya Norio, age 26, fell down her stairs and broke her right wrist."
The women blushed as Sasuke approached her. "Now just tell me if you feel any pain." He told her as he lightly pressed along her abdomen. He reached just above her navel when she winced and hissed in pain. "Right there?" He pressed lightly again, the women nodded her head furiously.
"Alright sensitive abdomen, Dr. Uzumaki what do you suggest we do?" Naruto froze at the sound of his name rolling off that delicious tongue. The blushing blond stepped forward and took the chart from Kiba's hands.
"W-well considering the circumstances, I'd say a CT scan and a blood test just to be sure." He spoke quickly, almost saying it all in one sentence.
"There you have it. Dr. Inuzuka here is going to take you for your CT scan and some blood tests." Sasuke then turned his attention to Kiba "After her CT and blood results are in you are to find me."
"Thank you doctor." Ms. Norio batted her eye lashes and pushed out her small breasts at Sasuke, who didn't even spare here a glance as left the room. Naruto smirked at her crestfallen face. That had to be a good sign right. I mean she wasn't ugly, and if he wasn't gay he might have given her his attention.
"Uzumaki, your with me, let's go." Sasuke called poking his head back in the room. With one last glance at Kiba he exited the room quickly after Sasuke, Sai hot on heels. Hust when he caught up to the raven he suddenly spun around, causing Naruto to halt in his steps, almost slamming into his face. Naruto blushed catching the musky sent of the raven as he stumbled back a few steps.
"Don't you have some charts to be taking care of." It wasn't a question. Sai quickly nodded and mumbled a 'yes sir' and scrambled away. Sasuke sighed before rounding on Naruto. "Come on." He said stopping in front of the elevator. From the corner of his eye Sasuke surveyed the smirk across the blonds face.
"Don't get to full of your self Uzumaki. You haven't fucked up yet but you will." He stated as the elevators doors opened and they both entered.
"Thanks for the boost of confidence teme." Naruto huffed. Just because he was an intern didn't mean he was completely incompetent.
"I'm not here to give you confidence dobe. You'll screw up sooner or later. You all do. I'd just appreciate it if you didn't, especially on my service. "
"Well thanks. Ill do my best not to." Naruto hissed his voice sarcastic and annoyed. What the hell was his damn problem. Just because he was an intern didn't mean he was a useless idiot, besides weren't intern suppose to make mistakes. Here he was finally getting some one on one time with the beauty and he was nothing but an ass.
Sasuke licked his dry lips, watching the fuming blond from the corner of his eyes. Now that he had a moment to spare with the blond, he noticed the three small thin scars that streaked down his tan cheeks. Why didn't he notice it before, he had been looking at the blond all day. His bright blond locks stuck out in every direction possible and hung limply over his eyes.
"What?" Naruto snapped, snapping Sasuke from his thoughts, drawing his attention to the fact that he was no longer watching the blond from the corner of his eye, but was fully turned, dead on, staring at him.
"U-uh nothing.." Sasuke stammered slightly, readjusting his position to stare ahead at the silver doors. "Just don't fuck up or do anything stupid." He added quickly.
"Great advice."
"Hn."
Just then the elevator 'ding'd' and they both exited.
"Pediatrics?" Naruto spoke, after several minutes of walking down the zoo animal print hallways.
"Took you long enough to notice dobe."
"Teme-"
"Oh Dr. Uchiha, I didn't expect to see you up here today." A cheerfull voice spoke as they passed several rooms. They both paused and turned to the voice. A tall man, with a large scar crossing the center of his face, exited from one of the rooms they had just passed.
"Let me guess, you're here checking on Gin." The man smiled at Sasuke. Naruto glanced at him curiously, taking notice to the light pink tint that crossed his cheeks. Naruto saw his eyes drift to his, then quickly dart away, they avoided meeting his again.
"Hn."
"Iwas just about to head in there. Here ya go.." The brunette's smile widened as he handed Sasuke a chart, who took it and began reading it immediately.
The man's brown eyes then turned to Naruto with interest. "Ah so you must be one of Dr. Uchiha's new interns. I'm Dr. Iruka Umino, head of Pediatrics."
Naruto smiled at the friendly doctor and shook his hand. "Naruto Uzumaki."
Dr. Umino threw an arm around Naruto and pulled him away from Sasuke, whispering in his ear. "Here's a few tips about Dr. Uch-"
They both turned to Sasuke as his beeper went of loudly, he looked at it briefly before handing Iruka back the chart.
"Uzumaki, you'll be doing your rounds up here today. I'll page you if I need you."
"Huh?" Naruto practically snapped. "But I'm assigned to your service."
"You are correct and I am assigning you to Peds(1) for today." Sasuke spoke firmly.
Naruto scoffed and huffed trying to gather what he wanted to say to raven. "Why? I haven't even been able to do anything all day, and now your assigning me up here to babysit. No offense-" He threw quickly to Iruka.
"None taken."
"-but that's bullshit!"
Sasuke eyes narrowed.
"Uzumaki, I don't care what you want to do. If you wish to remain on my service, you will do as I say when I say." Sasuke spat, his pager beeping to life once again. "I don't have time to be arguing with you dobe."
Naruto gaped, as Sasuke spun around and walked away from him at an inhuman speed.
"He certainly never changes." Iruka chuckled next to him. "Lest get started shall we?" He smiled at Naruto, handing him an arm full of charts.
"Get the fuck out of the way!" Sasuke screamed at the blubbering nurse. "Move!"
He growled as he pushed pass her, carefully lifting the man up from his shoulder. "How many entrance wounds?"
"Ahh I see three.." Shikamaru called out, searching over the man's body.
Sasuke carefully turned the man on his side, giving him a view of his back. "I only see two exit wounds."
"Someone page Hatake. I'm good here Uchiha."
He gave Shikamaru a quick look, he was still on probabtion and shouldn't even be in the OR let alone left alone to treat a critical patient. It wasn't that he didin't trust Shikamaru, he just didn't want Shikamru to get in further trouble.
"Hn." He answered briskly, ripping his gloves from his hands as he exited OR 2 and into OR 3, and quickly reapplied a fresh new pair. "What do have?"
"Female, age 25, gunshot wound to the chest and abdomen, I don't have a pulse!"
Sasuke fell into a far to familar and normal routine and took his place among Shizune, another resident, and several nurses.
"Page Hyuuga" Sasuke called.
"I-I already did." An unfamiliar nurse stuttered.
"Then page him again!" Sasuke hissed loudly, as the machine flat lined. "And page Inuzuka while you're at it."
"Y-yes sir."
"Fuck.." He mumbled to his self, pushing another nurse out of his way. "Her lung is collapsing."
Shizune bit her lip as she attempted to intibate the women. "Alright I'm in." Her hand grasped around in the air, until a nurse handed her what she was searching for, and began CPR. "She's losing to much blood!"
"I know." Sasuke growled, pulling the women's shirt open more, while he attempted to control the bleeding caused by her sever chest wound, applying as much pressure as he could.
"Shes in B-fib!" A nurse called out.
"Charge the defibulator to 200." He snapped layering gauze upon the bleeding wound.
Seconds later, minutes to Sasuke, the nurse informed him that it was charged and ready, he grabbed the pads from her roughly, causing her to flinch.
"Clear!" He yelled, after applying the pads to the women chest, while everyone stepped back and lifted their hyands off the body.
A wide eyed Kiba just happened to walk in as the women's body jolted from the shock.
"Y-you paged me?" He had to yell to Sasuke, due to the loud blaring of the machines.
"Charge to 250!" Sasuke called out as the women remained flat lined, ignoring Kiba next to him.
He shocked her again, successfully jump starting her heart this time.
"I've got a pulse."
Sasuke sighed, returning the pads, and glared at Neji who was just walking through the doors.
"I was in the middle of surgery." He told Sasuke, ignoring the glare, before taking over.
Still ignoring Kiba Sasuke returned to OR 2 to check on Shikamaru, Kiba of coarse quickly followed after him.
"-of death 17:48." Shikamaru sighed giving Sasuke a look as he entered, and shook his head. "His wife?"
"Alive for now. Neji is taking her up now."
"Damn…"Shikamaru took a deep breath, peeling his blood soaked gloves from his hands, his eyes falling upon Kiba.
"Excuse me Dr. Nara I need you to sign off."
"I got it." Sasuke took the chart from the nurse and signing it.
"Thanks.." Shikamaru mumbled under his breath.
"Hn."
"You one of Uchiha's lucky interns?"
Sasuke blinked, wondering who Shikamaru was talking to till Kiba spoke from his side.
"Y-yes sir." Kiba stuttered, surprised that he was talking to him.
"Good luck-"
"What are you doing here? Didn't I assign you to Ms. Norio CT?" Sasuke snapped irritated, cutting Shikamaru off.
"Yes, but then you paged me just now."
Sasuke could have kicked his self, he was way to distracted today. Next to him Shikamaru sighed, feeling sorry for the short haired brunette.
"Your too slow. Do you have the test results for Ms. Norio yet."
"Ah yes, they came back normal, but she is pregnant."
"Alright, follow me Inuzuka." Sasuke huffed.
Kiba threw a quick glance back at Shikamaru who gave him an apologetic smile, knowing just how Sasuke was.
"Alright just a little bit more…" Naruto groaned, pulling gently upon the large object that was currently lodged in his patients nose. Six year old Reiji and his parents occupied the small room as Naruto attempted to remove the stubborn object. With one final tug the object came out with a light 'pop'.
"A hot wheels car." Naruto was slightly amazed, how the hell did it even fit up there, and what on earth possessed the boy to shove it up there to begin with.
"Oh thank god.." The boys mother sighed with a light chuckle. His father just gave a grunt of approve.
"There you have it. A green hot wheels car. Now Reiji, toys don't go up you're nose, got it?" Naruto pulled out a bright orange sucker, which he had received from Iruka at the beginning of rounds, from his pocket and handed to the red haired boy.
"Thanks doctor."
After filling out of few charts and papers he was sending the happy family on there way. "And I don't want to see you back here, okay?" He called as they exited into the hall. He was just filling out and signing off on his charts when Iruka joined him at the nurses station.
"You're pretty good with kids Dr. Uzumaki."
"Mm yeah I guess. I've always had a soft spot for them" He admitted.
"I can tell. I'm sure you haven't decided where you're going to spend you're residency, since it you're first day and all, but you should give pediatrics a thought, you'd be great at it."
"Thanks Dr. Umino, I will." Naruto smiled at him, while he pictured his self in animal print scrubs and pockets full of suckers. He really wasn't sure if that's the look he was going for, but he'd give it a thought, he did like kids after all. But he had an entire year to decide, so he was in no rush.
"So how's you're first day? Is he being tough on you?"
Naruto scoffed.
"Not really, but he sure has his bastard moments."
Iruka laughed. "That's Sasuke for you. He kind of gets lost in the mess of it all. And he's not as mean as he comes off of being."
Naruto lifted his head from his charts to Iruka, his eyes filled with curiosity. So his name was Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha.
"Oh?"
Iruka smiled at him before continuing. "Yep, why do you think you're up here? You must be his favorite this year."
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Naruto asked, confused now. His favorite my ass. Sasuke had barely given the time of the day today and then when he did get some time with the raven he did nothing but insult him.
"Naruto. Its you're first day as an intern. And you are up here in peds, rather than doing a slaves work and getting treated like shit in the pit, like all the rest of the interns."
The blond scowled at the smiling man before giving it some thought. Was that true, did Sasuke stick him up here to allow him to have an easier first day than the rest.
"I know he's a little stub-"
He was interrupted as the sound of alarms filled the hallway. Iruka snapped to the sound and took to hall at a sprint, Naruto followed after him, his stomach dropping as he entered Gin's room.
"Page Dr. Uchiha!"
"Where is he?" Sasuke snapped to his self, causing Kiba to flinch slightly, as he stared down at a pile of charts in his arms, charts that should have been Sai's hands, not his. "Have you seen him at all?"
"No sir. I haven't seen him for about an hour or so, sorry."
"Don't apologize, just find him."
"Y-yes sir." With that Kiba stalked down the halls, mumbling and muttering to his self, in search for Sai.
"Aw don't be so hard on them…" Kakashi chimed form behind, Gaara stood at his side, a pink haired girl, and chubby intern followed behind the two.
"Hn, like you were so easy on us right?"
"Oh I don't know what you mean." He smiled wide at Sasuke, throwing his arm around the stoic boy, causing him to scowl even further.
The pink haired, blushing intern stepped forward.
"U-h…um are you Dr. Uchiha? Hi, I'm Sakura Haruno and I was wondering if you'd like to go out sometime or-"
"Now now Dr. Haruno, is this the time or place to be conducting you're self in such a manner?" Kakashi asked, his voice stern. His face was smooth and his smile had disappeared. Sakura blushed even deeper and stepped back slightly. Milaseconds later Kakashi's smile returned and he winked at her. "Besides Dr. Uchiha here is gay."
Sasuke's pager went off as he threw Kakashi a glare, muttering at him to get off him, while Gaara made a note to inform Naruto as to Dr. Uchiha's sexual preferences. He was sure he would most likely make Naruo's day.
"Shit.." Sasuke cursed loudly, throwing the charts he held onto the desk, and took of quickly towards the elevator.
He cursed again, the elevator was taking to long, and took to the stairs instead, receiving a few curious looks from passersby's.
"What happened?" Sasuke's voice sliced through the loud chaotic room. Naruto turned to him, his eyes wide and horrified, as Sasuke stood in the doorway, panting.
"I-I don't know he just started seizing." Iruka informed.
"Oh Dr. Uchiha thank go. What's happening to our son?" Gin's father asked, fear and some relief at seeing Sasuke, filling his wide eyes while he attempted to comfort his weeping wife.
"I'll let you know as soon as I know. Nurse get them out of here." Sasuke yelled pushing past the nurse, examining the seizing child.
"Dammit..."
"BP's falling..." Iruka called out.
"Uzumaki pick up that phone and contact Suna West and tell them Gin Toiyama has just been moved to the top of the donor list."
Naruto didn't hesitate and quickly made his way to the phone and dialed the number. Several tense minutes of keeping Gin's heart rate normal, and a few curses and yells thrown at him by Sasuke, Naruto finally made it through and was told everything was a go.
"I'll send Temari to retrieve it."
"No." Sasuke said immediately. "I'll go get it and I'll tell his parents as well."
"Wh-wait Sasuke you don't have to-"
"I'll go get it."
He sighed, knowing Sasuke wouldn't give in.
"Fine.."
"Uzumaki I want you to stay here and monitor his condition. If any thing changes, page me." And he was gone, just like that, speed walking away from them.
"Jeez he never changes, always so stubborn," Iruka spoke aloud. Naruto had remained silent, watching the scene with interest.
"I bet." Naruto huffed, retreating back into the boys room, his parents it seemed were urged by several nurses to go get some food and coffee.
"Really I mean it, he's not as tough as he gives off to be."
Naruto raised an eyebrow at the statement. "I still find that hard to believe."
"Its true. He actually used to be in pediatrics." Naruto gaped at the grinning doctor and snorted.
"No way Dr. One emotion…."
"Gin here.." Iruka talked over him, motioning to the sleeping child. The pale haired boy had tubes sticking out from his arms and nose. "Is and has been Sasuke's patient for 4 years now."
Naruto found his mouth once again hanging open. "No way..really? But he's not even in peds.."
"Yeah, he came in 4 years ago in need of a heart transplant, while Sasuke was up here in peds, and he's been his patient ever since. Even though I've told him repeatedly he didn't need to continue and that I'd take care of him."
"Wow...I never would of expected that." Naruto breathed out, his eyes falling upon the boy.
"He became a doctor for a reason, didn't you too."
Naruto turned to answer him, but he was already gone. He remembered the exact moment when he wanted to be a doctor. It was when he was 13 years old, after his grandpa died, that he decided. While walking home from school one day, he witnessed a car accident, the car almost hit. Naruto could have sworn the man was dead, but while he waited for his knee to be sutured, he could see the doctors and nurses working on the man. Three hours later Naruto just happened to walk by the man's room, and there he was alive and well. Naruto wanted to do that. He wanted to save someone who was so close to death, he wanted that power, the feeling, he wanted it all.
Two hours later Naruto was bouncing with delight as he stood next to Sasuke, watching Kakashi's hands as they moved about inside the small boy's chest. He was basically shaking from excitement, he couldn't believe it. His first scrub in was for a heart transplant. A freaking heart transplant! He made a note to throughly brag to Kiba and Gaara later.
"Alright..."Kakashi announced. "Now let's slowly take him off bypass..."A heavy silence filled the room, no one even seemed to be breathing, as they all watched the new small heart inside the boys chest, while they began taking him off bypass.
"Alright he's off..." A familiar nurses voice informed immediately alarms began blaring.
"BP and pressure are falling!"
"Give it a minute." Kakashi told them, as Sasuke shifted next to him.
"Just wait.."
"Kakashi.." Sasuke growled staring at the flat line that streamed across the heart rate monitor. Naruto anxiously glanced from Sasuke, to Kakashi, to the machine, and to the open chest of the boy, the heart remaining unmoving. Then suddenly it moved, casuing Naruto to gasp. Next to him he heard Sasuke let out a sigh of relief. The flatline suddenly spiked up and jolted up and down across the screen.
"See.."
Naruto could practically see the outlines of Kakshi's smug face behind his mask, but he spoke to soon. Alarms came to life once again, filling the room. Kakashi and Sasuke cursed, examining the monitors. It was all so loud for Naruto that he could barely register what was happening. Kakashi and Sasuke's yells filled the room, yelling out orders and medications. Kakashi hands were melded into the boys chest pumping the heart fiercely. Sasuke pushed into Naruto, knocking him out of the way as he attempted to shock the dying flesh.
"Clear!" He screamed, thrusting the tongs around the heart. But yet it still remained unmoving.
"Charge it to 350!" He continued frozen, watchingthe scene before him. Sasuke shocked the boy's heart over and over, until Kakashi's stern voice filled the room, piercing his ears.
"Sasuke! That's enough." Kakashi yelled at him, his gloved hand griping the shocking tongs tightly, preventing Sasuke from shocking the boy again.
"Get your god damn hands off me Kakashi." Sasuke hissed dangerously. A shiver ran down Naruto's spine at the amount of venom that filled Sasuke's voice.
"That's enough. Its over." Kakashi repeated, his voice softer than before. "I'm sorry-"
"No! I'm not done yet!" Sasuke snapped yanking free from Kakashi's grip. "Charge to 400! Now!" He screamed at the nurse, who hesitated glancing between Kakashi and Sasuke. when she didn't charge the machine any further he rushed forward, moving her aside and charged it him self.
"Clear!" He warned, shocking the heart again.
"Sasuke! Enough!" Kakashi repeated again, humoring Sasuke as he shocked the heart three more times.
Finally Naruto spoke, not being able to take the sight any longer, while tears streamed down his face.
"Sasuke.." Naruto spoke, putting his hand upon the ravens trembling arm. Sasuke stiffened under his touch, but didn't resume his actions, and let his arms fall to his sides.
"Time of death 21:37." Kakashi announced. The blond flinched as Sasuke growled, throwing the tongs away, and stalked out of the OR. He took to the hall almost at a run and found the first empty room and threw his self inside, practically falling to his knees once the door shut behind him.
"Fuck!" He yelled loudly, his voice echoing and bouncing of the room walls. His chest tightened as he choked back his tears. He found the wall and slumped against it, his hand gripping his back as pain shot up his spine. It happened every time. Anytime he allowed his self to get close to a patient, or anyone at that, he would loose them, just like that, and his old wound would ache and burn painfully. It was like it was reminding him, reminding him that he was human, that he was alive, and that he shouldn't be. He slid to the floor, his breathing finally returning to normal as he sat against the cool floor. He needed to get it together, suck it up.
He was a fucking Uchiha, and Uchiha's don't sit in dark rooms drowning in their own self pity. He pushed his self to his feet and took a deep breath trying to regain his famous emotionless composer and exited the quite dark of the room, in search of Gin's parents.
Naruto stood just down the hall, watching with a pained expression as Sasuke informed Gin's parents that their son no longer resided in this world. He bit his lip, as the wife fell to her knees, her piercing scream filling the hall. Naruto watched Sasuke carefully, the way his lips pursed thin, the tightness of his jaw, the slight furrowing of his brow, as the father sobbed in his hands. Sasuke quickly turned and retreated from the scene, brushing off Iruka who attempted to comfort him. Naruto took this as his que to follow after his resident and joined Sasuke in the elevator where they both stood silently. Naruto wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words to say.
"Sasu-"
"Dr. Uchiha." He snapped.
"Ah Dr. Uchiha, our shift is almost over, you wanna go get a drink-"
His words were cut off as he was suddenly slammed against the elevator walls, and lips smashed roughtly against his. He was shocked to say the least, but that soon disappered as Sasuke took advantage of his parted lips and thrusted his tongue inside. The blond couldnt help but let out a moan as the wet muscle ravished his mouth, exploring every crevice it held. He responded immediately, taking fistfuls of the ravens hair and pulling him full against him, deepening the kiss. The ravens hands desperately clutched at his clothes, pushing him harder into the wall. And just as his mind was turing into a puddle of mush the raven pulled away, with both of them panting for air, as the elevator slowed to stop.
"Fuck yes." He huffed out as he exited the elevator. "Meet me out front in an hour."
