Summary: He hadn't left her side for a minute, because he had nowhere else to return to. He had sat down on that chair, and he had to stay there until she woke up. SasuSaku. Written in drabbles.
Pairings: SasuSaku (any other requests)
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, Kishimoto does.
A/N: I can't thank the people who reviewed, favorited, and alerted this story enough, this is in fact my first multi-chapter fic for Naruto and I wasn't sure of the outcome. whitexgodess and mistressinwaiting thank you for the wonderful reviews, hopefully I won't screw the next chapter up!

Sakura hadn't woken up, Naruto had a placed restraining order, Sai was the only one to keep him company because Kakashi was on a mission.
Every nurse who turned the corner, every cold look he received wouldn't affect him. Neither would it affect Sai. However, on the third day, when Shizune rounded the corner, trainees on her heels, she graced him with a sincere smile that thanked him immensely.
Sasuke didn't know why he deserved it, and averted his eyes back to the door of Haruno Sakura, the girl in a coma. Because of him.
If only he hadn't been so stupid. If only she hadn't been so annoying. If only Obito's cronies hadn't escaped that one night. That one night he hated reliving.
It just confused him further than anything that had ever happened before.
Finally, Tsunade appeared from behind the door with a grim look on her face, her eyes screamed sadness and relief. He didn't know why.
"You saved her life," Tsunade informed him, resting a hand on his shoulder. He tensed. "But she's in a coma, Sasuke, and I'm not sure when she'll wake up next. "
Sasuke turned away from her, and Sai stood up, leaving abruptly. Tsunade lingered for five more minutes (he counted) before she spun on her heels, muttering unclean words.
In between snippets of them, he caught her distant mumbling on her wondering why her apprentice had loved such a stoic boy.
Sasuke smirked, so she hadn't stopped loving him.
He then stood up, and walked towards the door. Halfway there he froze, if he wanted to he could leave, be free again. The girl was safe. Nothing held him here.
The Uchiha squeezed his eyes, and laid his hand on the knob, turning it, and then entering.
Maybe he'd stay just a little longer.
