Naruto sat anxiously by Sasuke's bedside, despite the duty he was supposed to be attending to. Sasuke looked up at his former friend and saw just how concerned he was. 'Naruto shouldn't look like that', he thought to himself.
"You sure you're okay, Sasuke?" he asked.
"I'm positive. It was only a fainting spell, I've had them on and off over the last few months," he responded.
Naruto could see that Sasuke unconsciously covered his abdomen whenever someone came into the room, so he at least had the baby's well being taken care of...now his own…that was a completely different matter.
"Sasuke, maybe you should stay off your feet for a few days," Naruto said. "Just let yourself rest for a little bit."
"I know I need to, but…"
"But what? What's more important than the health of you and the baby?" Naruto asked, a challenge laced into his words.
Sasuke lay back on the pillow and said,
"I just…Itachi…"
"Now I'm definitely not letting you out of the room."
Sasuke looked up defiantly, but Naruto looked him square in the eye and said,
"No, I'm not letting you out just so you can kill off Itachi and the baby in the process…too much chakra use when you're pregnant is dangerous."
Sasuke, recognizing defeat, looked away from Naruto. There was just no arguing with the moron.
"Do I have your word that you'll stay here?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke looked over at the blond.
"I'm basically strapped down, I don't think I can go anywhere."
"You got out of that binding I put on you when we were kids," Naruto argued back.
"Those hardly counted as bindings. They were loosely tied and the gag was just two pieces of tape stuck over my mouth," Sasuke said.
Naruto smiled at the memory.
"Bet they were a bitch to get off though…the tape I mean."
Sasuke rubbed his lips as the pain of tearing the tape off came fully back to his mind.
"My lips were chapped for a week after that…you and your stupid pranks back then…hard to believe that you're an ANBU now," he said.
Naruto laughed and leaned back in his chair.
"Not just an ANBU…the head ANBU directly under the Kazekage…that has some killer privileges I'll tell you that much," he said.
"I'll bet…being under the Kazekage is sure to have its privileges."
"Well, all talk of being under me aside…"
Naruto jumped and looked around. Gaara stood in the doorway, looking at them with an unreadable look on his face.
"Gaara! We weren't talking sexually, I swear!" Naruto cried out, waving his arms in front of his body.
"I know, but I do believe that you can't be directly under me when you're sitting in here with Uchiha-san."
Naruto looked at Sasuke who nodded and replied,
"I'll stay put, don't worry."
Naruto nodded at him, picked up his mask, and stood up, stretching his arms, not noticing the wandering eyes of his former friend.
"I'll be back and visit you later, kay?"
"Ah. I'll see you later, dobe."
Naruto's mouth quirked at the familiar insult. He flashed Sasuke a smile and walked out of the room, hiding his smile with his strategically placed mask.
