Naruto gave a perplexing look to Sasuke. Sasuke just sat there spaced out and looked as if he were about to cry.

"D-Don't you remember me??" Sasuke muttered in a low voice.

Naruto only shook his head to the other boy. He noticed how the other boy suddenly look downcasted at his wordless reply. Sasuke then lowered his head and stood up, fists slightly clenched. There was a very quiet moan that escaped his mouth as he rubbed his eyes and ran oout of the hospital door. Naruto then felt bad as he sat upright. He didn't know who the boy was, but felt his chest ache. He couldn't figure out who he was, but realized he was obviously someone important to him if he was there when he woke up and left those sunflowers. "Flowers..??" Naruto gently picked them up off of the table with his good arm and stared at them a moment. He liked them... a lot. He thought, although huge, they were gentle. He then clutched them tighter and held it towards his chest that continued to ache. Naruto thought that the boy was handsome, even for a boy. He started to blush when he pictured the black-haired person.

"It's... It's really true..! He doesn't remember me.." Sasuke lightly whispered those words to himself. He was suddenly overcome with some sort of grief. Blame was all that he could put on himself. Suddenly, his chest felt like it was twisting and burning and tears flooded from his eyes. He didn't know what to do. Was he going to visit him every day? Seeing his wrapped up body, thinking that it was all of his fault that, even though he's alive, he still has to feel the pain of a head-on collision? Sasuke felt as if there were 2 tons of cement in his heart and chest. He sat at his kitchen table and put his head on his crossed arms. Gripping his arms tightly, he cried until he couldn't cry anymore. His eyes appeared bloodshot and swollen, and they stung if he rubbed his eyes.

It was the afternoon when he visited Naruto. He thought that he might have been able to eat lunch with Naruto but was disappointed at the outcome of his waking. He had skipped lunch and had no appetite to eat anything. He felt that Naruto's amnesia, especially of Sasuke, was his punishment for giving him all of that pain. That day in the street, was the day he felt that hell had landed on both of them. They both felt physical and emotional pain, that they weren't sure would go away until something was set right.

Without bothering himself of taking a shower or even changing, he just slumped into his bed and pulled the covers almost completely over his head. He reminded himself of when he was younger. That when his father would be yelling at his mother, then praising his firstborn son, but cursing the one who gave birth to him. His father really only paid attention to his oldest brother Itachi, but when he died in a fire accident, his father committed suicide saying that it was Sasuke's and his mother's fault. He blamed them for hindering Itachi on staying here to please his father. Itachi had gone to a university and shadowed a student. When they were in the chemistry lab, mother had called to check up on Itachi's day. While he was tuned in to hearing his mother's voice without fear, he mixed up the measurements of one project to his current chemicals. It caused an acid fire, and Itachi, as well as, 2 other students were killed and 4 others suffering was 2nd and 3rd degree burns. The funeral happened to be held on Itachi's birthday, coincidences aside.

Sasuke suddenly woke up with a very heavy breathing as he dreamt of that funeral and of his abusive father. It was 4:27 A.M. Sasuke closed his eyes and let out a long sigh and calmed himself down. He could no longer sleep, so he went to his kitchen to get something to drink. He didn't have to go to his part-time job at a library, for 4 1/2 more hours. He felt useless. He wanted to see Naruto again, to start over, but he obviously was thinking irrationally.

He finally decided to visit Naruto after work and apologize for his weird behavior. He felt uneasy, and dizzy due to the hot sun. He wasn't sure if it was nervous-induced or if he was just ill. After not being able to sleep anymore, he just decided to take a shower and get a small snack to see if that would help him sleep for at least a couple more hours. He didn't feel hungry, and he felt too tired to take a shower, yet again. He went to his couch and laid down, with his arm outstretched over his forehead. It was warmer than usual. Sasuke only thought that it was just because his air conditioner had broken the previous week. It was 6:45 A.M. Sleep had not fallen upon Sasuke, even though he was dead tired. He couldn't sleep, and it was still too early to do anything. Sasuke grabbed his keys and headed out the door to cool off and have an early morning walk. As he walked aimlessly, he ended up on the path to the hospital, while thinking of Naruto.

He started to walk slower and slower, unaware of his own pace. He felt funny. Sasuke put his hand to his forehead. It started to heat up. He turned around and began to walk back to his apartment, stopping by the drugstore for some medicine before it got worse. The corner drugstore doesn't open for another 20-30 minutes. Sasuke figured he might already have some medicine at home and walked past the store. Almost to his apartment, Sasuke's body began to shake vigorously. It wasn't cold outside. It felt nice, but it began to sicken him. Naruto was all that was on his mind. He couldn't stop thinking of him. "Why.. am I only thinking of.. Naruto..? Ahh.. I... I can't stop shaking.. My chest hurts, but my head hurts even more.. I.. I-I.. can't... walk.. anymo--" Sasuke had collapsed just outside of his apartment.. It was 7:13 A.M. Sakura Haruno, an acquaintance from school, had called last week about coming over early to collect some things, since she was Sasuke's ex-girlfriend since several months ago. When she came up to the apartment complex, she saw his seemingly-lifeless body in the grass. His face was beat red, and he was breathing very heavily. He looked like he was dying.

"OH MY -- SASUKE!! HEY! WHAT HAPPENED? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?!" Sakura panicked and tried to lift him up. He was too big for her to carry alone. She ran around to look for some help and luckily found a morning jogger. They carried him up to his apartment and laid him gently on his bed. Sakura ran down to the store and bought a small electric fan, an ice-pack, and some medicine. Sasuke didn't get sick often, but for some reason, whenever he did, it wasn't normal. Most of the time, his sicknesses were stress-induced because he was always either studying or working. Not to mention Naruto's accident. Sakura sat on the chair, worried. She put the ice-pack on his forehead and put a thermometer under his tongue. His temperature was about 38° C. It was bad. She needed him to wake up so he could at least take some medicine. She called Sasuke's work and told them what happened. They only gave him 3 sick days, and then they want him to check back within that time.

"First, Naruto gets into an accident that wasn't your fault, and now you're blaming yourself because of it and made yourself sick. You know how worried I can get.." Sakura sighed as she talked quietly to herself. Sasuke began to slowly wake up, only to stare into light greeneyes, that were always pretty even when worried. He tried slowly to sit up, but Sakura put her hand on his chest to keep him down.

"Don't get up," she said firmly.

"But, I have to--"

"Don't even think about work or anything right now." She looked like she would cry seeing how stubborn he is.

They simultaneously sighed, both thinking the same thing - what terrible luck we've been having. Sakura then gave Sasuke some water and a medium-sized red and blue pill. Sasuke was a bit hesitant, but felt horrible nonetheless.

"Thanks, Sakura.." Sasuke mumbled after he swallowed the medicine.

"Well, someone has to look after you.." Sakura was being half-sarcastic and half-nervous. She didn't know what to say. Sasuke gave a sweet smile that made Sakura forget what had happened just a couple of hours ago. Sasuke suddenly gasped and grabbed to clock.

"IT'S ALREADY 9:30?!?" Sasuke the lowered his head in his hands because of such a sudden movement. He felt slightly faint, but comforted that someone was there.

After a long pause and awkwad silence, he slowly began to tell Sakura what he thought of Naruto and what he has been worried about so much. Sakura was amazed. She felt kind of useless not being able to even think of getting back together with Sasuke since he had apparently been gay this whole time. She wondered if he regretted going out with her, but didn't bother to ask such a trivial question. Sakura stayed for a little longer, then had to leave for her work, which luckily didn't start until around noon. Sasuke sat up in his bed, relieved he could be open to someone about his true "preferences". He took one more pill and tried to sleep more. He knew he would be in bed for a day or two, so he thought about what he could help Naruto with. He could help Naruto with some rehabilitation and most importantly, his memories.
