Chapter 2: Hidebound

That morning, after a heavy storm that lasted all night, we woke up early, and we headed back to the medical center, where Naruto had been treating himself.

My intention was to get my own idea of the seriousness of the matter and thus, decide the best course of action.

Once we arrived, we waited in silence for the oncologist to call us.

At that moment, I was so restless, that I could not even begin with Naruto, a trivial conversation. Looking at him out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that he was relaxed, reading a magazine, and even snoozing from time to time.

I was glad he was calm, but I was saddened to realize that all this anxiety I was perceiving was not even comparable to what he had to feel when he was faced with this for the first time. How many times did he have to go through this so that now the situation seemed routine?

Finally, after a tortuous wait, I listened to the name of Naruto, being called from the loudspeaker.

When we entered the doctor's office, a sullen-looking man met us behind a large glass desk.

When looking around, I found the enclosure was not welcoming at all. Everything in the room was presented in an extreme neatness, with shades of almost impossible white. You could see multiple diplomas and awards that covered the walls of the room, however, there was nothing else in it the room that might suggest some "life"; There was no picture, decoration or even some book. If I had not seen the doctor when I came in, I would have thought, that no human being had ever entered through these gates.

"Hello, I'm Danzo, nice to meet you," he said, not looking up from his papers.

"My name is Sasuke, I'm here to find out what's the diagnostic of Naruto."

"Forgive the question, but what is your relationship with the patient?" He said, raising his eyes this time. "I ask you because we can't give any confidential information from clinical cases unless you are a relative or spouse"

"I'm his boyfriend, and besides Naruto, agrees to let me know of his diagnosis," I said annoyed at his attitude.

Hearing me say the word "boyfriend," Danzo shifted uncomfortably in his seat, with a deep look of disgust on his face.

I had to refrain myself from commenting and then take a deep breath. We were there to discuss Naruto's illness, and that was far more important than dealing with idiots.

I was content, however, to sent him one of my best looks of aversion, which after a moment, generated the desired effect.

"O... Okay" He said in a frightened way, the moment he fixed his eyes on mine

"What Naruto has, is a gastric carcinoma. After the biopsy, the tumor was determined to be malignant. We have been doing all the tests and procedures that are within our reach, but the truth is that his case is not very encouraging. I must be frank with you, I don't evaluate his life span in more than 3 months"

Danzo said this speech, without the slightest sign of empathy. His tone was completely disinterested as if he were talking about something banal and unimportant, and his attitude was that of a boring person, who would like to be anywhere else at that time.

This was really the straw that broke the camel's back. I felt anger boil inside my chest and my face turned red. Unable to stand it any longer, I exploded in a loud and angry tirade.

"How is it possible that you take such a delicate subject so lightly? Who do you think you are?" you are a god, to estimate how much life is left to a person? You're supposed to be professional and give us some course of action to combat the disease. We still hope for a recovery, and even if there is a small possibility, we would like to take it, but you, without any consideration, close the door in our faces! you suck! I don't know how he even got the license to practice medicine!"

"Sasuke... calm down," Naruto told me worriedly.

"I'm not going to calm down! This guy is a jerk! We are people, not another number in your case book! You stupid imbecile!"

"I don't see why I have to put up with this!" Danzo said, raising from his desk. "I suggest you calm down, or I'll have to call security."

"Sasuke, he is right, let's get out of here, you're very exalted..." Naruto said, tugging at my wrist.

Not wanting to contradict him, I headed towards the exit with him, but nevertheless, suddenly changing of opinion, I turned to that doctor and I said to him:

"We're not going to come back here, I assure you that. And you know what?" Put your diagnosis in your ass, which I am sure you are going to enjoy, for you to relax, and stop being the stretched bastard you are " I said, raising the middle finger, to emphasize my speech.

"Sasuke!" Naruto told me, in alarm.

"Enough!" Said Danzo, greatly offended. "Guards! Security!" He said, coming out of his office, and talking to a man who was standing in the waiting room.

We went out too, and when we did, the patients who were sitting, stared at us; It was obvious, that everyone had heard my abrupt.

A man approached us then, a stout-looking guard, followed by Danzo, who was behind him, supervising the fulfillment of his order.

"Sir, you'd better go with me," the man said, taking me by the wrist.

Finding this outrageous, I released my arm with a blow of my hand, pushing the guard's body involuntarily with the impulse. This one, not expecting the force with which I make my move, stepped back awkwardly.

It is curious how life can sometimes be a prankster... I say this because, when the security officer stepped back, there was a round earring on the floor (probably misplaced by one of the patients), and when the man was destabilized by my cause and placed his foot on the floor again, he did it right above that article.

The guard staggered and his feet bent into a strange pose, then he lost his balance and projected back into a colossal fall. Danzo, who was just behind, was knocked over by that huge mass, and they both fell to the ground in a loud hit.

The security officer, who was very burly for his own good, was twisting on the ground trying to standing up without success, crushing Danzo in the meantime, which was also disabled because of the weight he had on his body.

"Get off me! Incompetent idiot!"

The guard's efforts, only got that his body was turned on its axis, remaining face to face to Danzo, that had to open its legs not to be squashed completely; Resulting in the body of the man remaining right in the middle of the doctor's unfolded limbs.

The situation was extremely funny and the people in the room, who witnessed the scene, was laughing loudly.

Danzo, then, pull forces out of nowhere and was finally released from the burden that man exercised.

"Sasuke, Let's go!" I heard Naruto say.

We Both then quickly escaped through the elevator.

When I took a look, one last time before the doors closed, Danzo was wide red with embarrassment and his clothes were a mess. He looked helplessly at the people around him, not knowing what to say or do. Humiliated, the only thing he did, was to throw onto the floor, the cell phone of one of the nurses, which had been recording the whole scene.

Then the elevator doors closed, keeping us away from all that chaos.

We were in silent, only listening to the sound of the bell announcing the different floors.

Suddenly I looked at Naruto, he looked at me, and as if we had agreed, we both burst out in a loud laughter.

"I can't believe you yelled at that doctor... And then…! It was a scandal! I think this is going to be a theme of gossip for who knows how long!" he said to me, unable to stop laughing.

Our laughter was heard throughout the small space, becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

"Yes! In fact, I would swear, that one of the male patients, winked at Danzo, giving him a seductive look. At least it seems that after all, he gained something from of all this" I replied.

"PF! HA, HA, HA, HA!" It was the explosive laugh of Naruto, who accompanied that comment.

Our breaths became irregular, and at this point, we were gripping our stomach in pain.

"Ah! I can't stop!" Naruto told me.

"We have to…! I can't do it anymore!" I said, with difficulty.

Naruto then lets the air out in small puffs, trying with that, to control his laughter through the breath. He managed to calm down for a moment, but then he turned to see my face, and his laughter burst again with the same intensity as before, resulting in me also been affected by the laughter.

Unable to hold the pain any longer, we were able to calm finally that hysterical laughter. We leaned against the wall, exhausted by the effort produced.

The elevator reached its destination, and when I went down, I avoided looking at Naruto, in case that action, could betray our newly gained tranquility.

My thoughts returned dangerously to the recently witnessed scene, and fearing that I might be tempted by laughter again, I decided to speak of something else.

"So... why in the first place, did you choose to get the medical attention of that third category doctor?" I said curiously.

"Well, believe it or not, he was recommended as one of the best oncologists in the country. I never liked him, but I dealt with him because I thought, he would at least do his job well," he said.

"Pf!" I said incredulously. "I can't imagine the person who can have a positive opinion of him. I do know good doctors, don't worry, I'll take you to the best"

Naruto, stared at me for a moment, giving me an affectionate look and showing me one of his most luminous smiles.

"Sasuke..." He said while keeping his eyes on mine "thanks..."

"Thanks for what?" I said in surprise and a little embarrassed. "All I did was create a mess and yell at everyone," I said.

"I don't deny that it was quite embarrassing, but you also made me laugh as I didn't do it in a long time ago. I really needed to take things with humor, and share moments like this with you. Now I realize how much I changed in this last month and how much I needed you.

Sasuke, I'm sorry I didn't tell you before about my illness, I know you will be had done things better for me, you always do; But I was selfish, I told myself that it was because I don't want to hurt you, but the truth is that I was afraid, afraid to face this whole situation.

Forgive me for taking from you the time that was rightfully yours, I know you would have liked to share it with me, even though it was painful." He said.

"You don't have to think about that, the only thing we have to worry now is your recovery. We will get busy in you becoming stronger and healthier, and when we least expect it, this will be nothing but a bad memory. Besides, you have nothing to thank me for, you would have done the same, if not more, for me"

"Sasuke..." He said, giving me a sudden hug.

I was amazed at first by the unexpected movement, but then I hugged him back in an affectionately way, taking him in my arms with the greatest tenderness I could muster. Then, taking his chin, I brought his face to mine, giving him a chaste kiss.

"Everything it's going to be ok, so you don't have to worry about anything," I said, whispering in his ear.

"I know because I'm with you now."

Hello, everyone!

I'm sorry for the delay with the chapter, a lot of things had happened in my life lately and I've been pretty busy with several projects as well. For some time now I've been feeling like a useless person for not being doing "productive" things with my life (my mother also told me so, in a not very pleasant conversation) so now I have been busy in things that I can use to improve on a personal level (I'm not doing this for my mother, of course, but because I want to change that negative image that I have about myself). Well, I do not know why the fuck I'm writing this in here, I guess I want to vent a little, so please bear with me LOL

Well... Now with the story:

Do you remember Saint Valentine's contest I told you about? I won it! Hurray for me! Hehe, that makes me very happy! :D really!

This chapter was fun to write, especially Danzo's part haha, but he deserves it, do you agree? tell me what you think. And about Sasuke, he has a few attitude problems, but I always imagined Sasuke like that, a bit grumpy. About the laughter scene, I have always thought that in a couple, besides playing the role of lovers, they can also be friends, have that complicity that involves laughing at the same things and sharing the same kind of humor; That's what I wanted to represent in this scene

Well, that's all... It looks that I made my final comment, a little too long LOL

I hope you are well! kisses! Read you soon!
