Schizophrenia

Chapter 3- Light

Summary: When I can't sleep I count the buckles on my straightjacket… When I'm alone I think of you. Do you ever think of me? I bet you don't remember me. I don't blame you. We haven't forgotten about you. NaruSasu

Warnings: Yaoi (BoyxBoy), beatings, schizophrenia, asylums, horrible writing, crazy people, scars, and blood. Ooh, blood. Oh, and, abuse. Just saying.

A/n: I'm still sick and on antibiotics… I have Acute unidentified, acute pharyngitis, and now sinusitis. Sinusitis happens to be the best disease ever to have because SINUSITIS IS SO FUN TO SAY! So people are like, 'You have a cold, right?' and I'm like 'No, I have SINUSITIS!'

Sorry about that.

Onto the story~


He'll hurt you… get away while you can.

Why didn't you kill him when you had the chance?

Don't chase us away.

It'll be a futile attempt.

You can't run away from yourself.


Naruto opened his eyes and groaned. He looked over to Sasuke, who was currently sobbing.

"Baby… you alright?" Naruto asked groggily. Sasuke looked up at him, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Naruto… they want me to hurt you …" Sasuke said, his sobs becoming louder. Sasuke pressed his face into Naruto's chest and cried, just cried. Naruto sighed, bringing a hand up to pat his back.

"You don't have to listen to them."

"That doesn't stop it from upsetting me…" Naruto emitted another soft sigh. He picked Sasuke up and brought him into the bathroom, setting Sasuke on the closed toilet.

"You need your medicine." Naruto said calmly.

"You need yours, too." Sasuke said softly, looking up to Naruto. Naruto sighed.

"I know." Naruto opened up the medicine cabinet, rummaging through its contents and pulling out two bottles. "We'll take it together, okay?" Naruto asked, handing Sasuke his bottle. Sasuke looked up at Naruto and smiled.

"…okay." So they opened their bottles and took it together. Sasuke made a face after the deed was done.

"What's wrong, Sasuke, did it taste bad?" Naruto asked while laughing softly.

"No, it just hurt my throat." Sasuke said, getting up off of the toilet and pecking Naruto on the cheek. "We'd better get dressed."

They walked back to the bedroom, Naruto tossing a shirt over to Sasuke.

"You can wear this until we get your clothes, 'kay?" Naruto asked, smiling.

"'Kay." Sasuke started undressing, and Naruto winced when Sasuke removed his shirt. Sasuke had a scar on his back, though Naruto didn't know what it was from.

"I fell down the stairs." Sasuke said softly, looking down at the floor. Naruto shrugged it off. He didn't like the scar but if Sasuke wouldn't talk about it he wouldn't talk about it, and that was fine for Naruto.

Naruto frowned. It didn't look like a scar from falling down the stairs; it looked more like someone had shoved his back into a mantle or something. Naruto noticed the other scars on Sasuke's back. When had he gotten those? Naruto recognized them, so they weren't from the asylum. What were they from?

Sasuke turned around to look at Naruto. "Are you going to stand there watching me get undressed or are you going to get dressed?" Sasuke asked playfully.

"Huh? Oh… uh, yeah, I'll get dressed." Naruto said awkwardly, scratching the back of his head and laughing nervously. Sasuke smiled.

"What's on your mind?" Sasuke asked, walking over to Naruto and wrapping his arms around his neck, "You seem distracted."

"Nah, it's nothing." Naruto dismissed the topic.

"How about I watch you get undressed and you'll see how uncomfortable it is." Sasuke said.

"How about you don't and I never know how uncomfortable it is?" Naruto asked, kissing Sasuke on the lips. Sasuke smiled into the kiss.

What are you doing?

If you don't kill him he'll kill you.

Sasuke stood still, stunned. Naruto looked confused.

"You alright, Sasuke?" Naruto asked, softly moving some hair out of Sasuke's eyes.

"Y-yeah." Sasuke said, shaking his head. He looked up at Naruto and smiled. "I'm fine."

"That's good." Naruto replied. "Now, if you don't mind releasing me so I can get dressed?"

"Of course, ha… ha." Sasuke said, releasing Naruto and sitting on the bed. Naruto grabbed the bottom of his shirt, preparing to pull it off when he hesitated.

"Were you serious when you said you would watch me?" Naruto asked.

"Maybe." Sasuke said, sitting cross-legged on the bed and smiling.


Kiba looked up at Sasuke as he entered the room.

"It's going to take me a while to get used to having you around." Kiba said. "…Are you alright?" Kiba asked when he noticed the tears in Sasuke's eyes.

"Y-yeah. Uh… I… I guess… wha-what was the question?" Sasuke asked, cocking his head to the side. Kiba sighed.

"What's up?" Kiba asked. Naruto entered the room, fully dressed.

"Sasuke, I'm sorry." Naruto apologized.

"I… wha… I just…" Sasuke was obviously not thinking straight. Naruto sighed.

"I forgot to warn you about that. I'm sorry, Sasuke. But, what did you expect? That sort of thing scars, Sasuke." Naruto said, wrapping his arms around Sasuke.

"I'm just… It took me by surprise, I guess…" Sasuke trailed off, looking to the side.

"Yeah, I understand." Naruto said softly. Naruto kissed Sasuke's head softly, nuzzling his nose into his hair. Sasuke just smelled so… Sasuke like. He still smelled the same, even after five years. Naruto smiled at this.

"So… what are we going to do today?" Sasuke asked quietly.

"I've got a couple of ideas…" Naruto said, kissing Sasuke's ear.

"I think I do, too." Sasuke replied, smiling. He leaned back into Naruto. He was glad Naruto hadn't changed.


"Hey… what's this?" Naruto asked, taking a memory card out of Sasuke's stuff.

"That… oh… it's uh… nothing." Sasuke said, softly tugging at the card, but it was evident Naruto wouldn't let go.

"What do you mean nothing?" Naruto asked Sasuke.

"Ugh…" Sasuke knew he wouldn't win. "You remember that camera I had?"

"The one I gave you?" Naruto asked.

"No, the one you broke." Sasuke tried to explain.

"I broke a camera of yours? I have no such memory."

"Well, you don't remember a lot of things." Sasuke said, slowly prying the memory card free.

"What do you mean by that? How did I break it?" Naruto asked, letting Sasuke take the card.

"You stepped on it." Sasuke said, holding the card in front of his face and waving it, "I managed to salvage this before you did."

"Isn't that nifty." Naruto asked, laying on the bed next to Sasuke, pressing his lips against Sasuke's back. "Why didn't I see a camera before stepping on it?" Naruto said against Sasuke's back.

"You did. You did it on purpose." Sasuke said, and by the tone in his voice Naruto knew that he didn't want to talk about it.

"Was that why I bought you a camera?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah…" Sasuke said softly. "That and as a graduation gift."

"Oh, yeah. You graduated then." Naruto said, wrapping his arms around Sasuke's waist, resting his head on Sasuke's shoulder. "Mmm… I love you, baby."

"I know." Sasuke whispered back. "I love you, too."


"So, has Sasuke always been like that?" Sakura asked. Sakura was currently sitting on the floor, cross-legged, Ino was sitting on a chair, Naruto was sprawled out on the couch and Kiba was picking a movie to watch.

"No, not really... He used to be really independent and… well, you know, stuck up and shit." Naruto replied.

"He doesn't seem that way now." Ino said.

"Well, he's not so much of a bastard anymore." Naruto said, and then added thoughtfully, "I'm not really sure what changed him. He went from that to the clingy person he is, always scared of the voices in his head."

"You think the voices scare him?" Sakura asked.

"Well, no duh. They scare him to death. He still cries when he hears them." Naruto answered, as if it were obvious.

"So he didn't always hear the voices?" Ino asked.

"Not really. I thought I already told you that?" Naruto asked.

"Oh, well, I didn't remember."

"Of course you didn't, you never remember anything." Sakura said to Ino.

"Well, sorry if I don't have a perfect memory like yours." Ino bit back.

"It just proves how stupid you are."

"Well, at least I don't have a huge forehead." Ino said, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Girls, girls, please!" Kiba said, "I'm trying to choose a movie. It's an ancient skill that takes patience and much thought."

"You alright, Naruto?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, it's just… apparently there's a lot I've forgotten over the years." Naruto said.

"What makes you think that?" Ino asked.

"Well, Sasuke and I were talking about when I stepped on his camera. I had no memory of that." Naruto answered, looking down at the floor.

"So you forgot something, so what?" Ino asked.

"Well, I've been thinking about how Sasuke's voices… you know… they always talk to him about hurting me. I've been wondering, why is that? Why do they want to hurt me? And they always tell him that I'll hurt him, I haven't hurt him before!" Naruto exclaimed.

"…are you saying that maybe you forgot when you did hurt him?" Ino asked.

"No… no… I would never hurt him." Naruto said, "He's my Sasuke. He's my Sasuke…"

"…wanna watch a movie later…?" Kiba asked, sitting next to Naruto who was now sitting up straight.

"You guys can watch one now, it's fine." Naruto said, shaking his head.

"Can I watch…?" Sasuke asked softly from across the room. Naruto looked up at him.

"Sasuke? When did you get up?" Naruto asked.

"Just a little bit ago…" Sasuke said, looking down. "Do you want me to go back to sleep…? Because I will…" Sasuke looked off to the side.

"No, no, come on, Sasuke. Sit down." Naruto said, reaching a hand out. Sasuke took it as Naruto pulled him onto his lap.

"So… what are we watching?" Sasuke asked, looking over at Kiba.

"We're watching this." Kiba said, waving the DVD case in front of Sasuke while snickering.

"Are you serious? That'll scare the hell out of three of the people in this room." Naruto said, gesturing towards Sasuke, Ino and Sasuke.

"Come on, Paranormal Activity is a must see." Kiba said, popping it into the DVD player. "Besides, don't you want Sasuke all over you in his state of distress?" Kiba asked, grinning.

"It's not that, it's the squealing I'm scared of…" Naruto said, casting a glance over at Sakura.

"You underestimate us." Ino said. Everyone quieted down as the movie started.


Naruto settled down in the bed as Sasuke crawled up and lay down next to him, resting his head on Naruto's chest.

"That was a good movie, no?" Naruto asked, turning off the light on the bedside table. Naruto admired how the moonlight looked on Sasuke's skin. It was so beautiful… so pale…

"It was scary…" Sasuke said, snuggling closer to Naruto.

"Aw, come on, you're going to let that scare you?" Naruto asked, nudging Sasuke.

"Yes, I am." Sasuke huffed out.

"Okay, okay…" Naruto said, laughing a bit. "Hey, since you have a memory card from the ghost camera, do you have one from the one I gave you?" Naruto asked.

"Ghost camera…?" Sasuke asked, looking up at Naruto.

"Yeah, ghost camera. Since I don't remember it, it's a ghost camera." Naruto shrugged, or as much of a shrug as he could pull off with Sasuke on him.

"You're crazy." Sasuke said, shaking his head. "And yes, I do." Sasuke said.

"Cool. Can I watch?" Naruto asked.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Sasuke said, kissing Naruto on the neck then settling back down.

"Fine by me." Naruto said, settling in and closing his eyes.


Don't worry, I won't hurt you…

Well, not for real, that is.

In my mind you'll never be safe.

I kill you every chance I get.
