Okay so, chapter 3 is here! Remember, this one takes place three weeks after our last one, beginning on the day when Naruto gets out of the hospital. I'm just too lazy to write "Three weeks later" at the top of when I actually start writing, so just making sure that people understand that.
OMG an author alert? o.o I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH! ^.^
Replies (again, thanks everyone for reviewing, I honestly squeal every time I see them) :D
Neko-Chan11772: Sorry that it's not as cute and it's kind of sad for Sasuke at first (yeah, it gets kinda cute after a while), but I hope I lived up to the awesomeness. ^.^ Oh I think I might have read that one. But then again, I've read a lot of fanfics, and can't really remember what I have and haven't read now. ^^" I love updating everyday, and honestly the only reason I can do that is because we've had a few snow days so far and I've been working nonstop and overdosing on coffee. heh ^^"
KimikoAmaya: Hehe, thankies! LOL I would too! But I pulled something similar to it on my mom when I sprained my wrist. We tricked her into thinking it was broken in three different places and that I needed screws in my arm and that the surgery would be at this really crappy and unclean hospital in town. We almost had her calling the hospital before we told her it was just a joke. But I doubt you actually wanted the whole story...^^"
Okay so, because I decided to add something a little different to this chapter, watch out for the following things
Anything italicized AND underlined means it's part of a dream
~~Naru POV~~
~*~Normal POV~*~
Hehe, so I hope you all enjoy surprises, because nothing's going to prepare you for what I have in this chapter. Oh and don't read the bottom A/N or whatever it is until you actually finish reading the chapter because it's full of spoilers and complaints about how evil a certain website is.
Sasuke had decided to skip school today so that he could be with his friend when he got out of the hospital. The raven had been waiting weeks just for this day, and it was finally happening. Itachi thought Sasuke was actually going to go to school that day, which is the only reason he went on the business trip after he was assured that Naruto had company. Kyuubi had gone to the hospital yesterday so that he didn't feel too guilty about not being able to stay when Naruto got out because of the shared business trip with Itachi.
Sasuke had gotten ready early so that he could greet his friend when he woke up. The raven was running to the hospital now, not caring about a car since the hospital wasn't that far away. He was just too happy to contain himself, so he actually did a cartwheel on the way. Thankfully, no one saw him and he regained his composure right after he totally owned that landing. He slowed to a walk as he neared the hospital.
He walked through the doors and the nurse at the front desk smiled. "He's been waiting for you," she said. Sasuke nodded and followed the nurse to his dobe's room. He didn't need to do that by now, but it was standard procedure at this hospital. They walked down the long halls and she started to pick up a conversation. "I would have thought you to be at school right now. Your brother called and told us to not let you in to see Naruto until around 3 this afternoon, but we figured you would've just put up a fight to get in if you came, so we only told him that we wouldn't."
"Thanks," Sasuke mumbled. It was silent until they got to the door to Naruto's room.
"Enjoy each other's company, and when we release him today, please try not to let him do too much physical activity. Oh, you should know that someone else is in there with him. A man similar in your appearance, Sai I think his name is? Anyways, try not to disturb Naruto's rest if he's asleep." The nurse left and Sasuke opened the door to a heart wrenching scene.
Sasuke and Naruto had gotten closer than ever in just he past few weeks, and though Sasuke doubted that Naruto remembered the question the raven had asked him before he crashed, Sasuke still hoped that one day the two could be more than friends. Thanks to this scene that Sasuke had come upon, he doubted it. He was so heartbroken, he just wanted to go home and cry. But Naruto looked happy..so it was okay he guessed.
Sai was lying on the hospital bed beside Naruto, one arm wrapped around the blonde, the other on the blonde's face. The two were kissing but only just barely broke apart when they heard the door open. Naruto turned around and instantly looked surprised. "S-Sasuke, I wasn't expecting you to be here so early..." The blonde's face was upset, and he made horrible excuses, consequenting in Sasuke's heartbreak even more. The raven should have known not to be so hopeful when it came to the blonde boy, but he couldn't help it. Sasuke dearly wanted to be more than just Naruto's best friend, but thanks to the raven's doppelganger, that might just never happen.
"Sorry, I'll come back later," Sasuke said in a voice he hoped sounded only shocked, but in all honesty, sounded upset. Sasuke turned around to walk out the door and close it, but he felt a hand on his shoulder before he could. He slowly turned around, his face showing no emotion whatsoever.
"Don't upset Naruto," was all Sai had to say before tearing out a page from his sketchbook and handing to Naruto. "I don't want him hurt. He may be my ex now, but I still care for him. And you should be at school, but I'll tell them that you're sick so you too can spend the day together." With that, Sai left.
"I should have told you," Naruto said, wiping the tears from his face. "I should have told you two weeks ago that I was dating Sai, and I should have asked what you thought, I know, but I needed to get my head straight and Sai helped me do that. But it wasn't real love that I felt for him, so now he and I are over, and I'm sorry that I didn't tell you." Naruto was close to sobbing now, and Sasuke was almost crying, but he wouldn't let himself.
"Doesn't matter," Sasuke mumbled as he sat down on the hospital bed across the room from Naruto. The raven was so upset right now, he couldn't think straight. He needed to get his mind together before he did something stupid.
"If you say so...but um... Can you possibly stay the night with me? Or could I stay at your house with you for the night? I won't feel too comfortable spending the night alone for a while..so..please?" Naruto looked at the raven with pleading eyes, full of every emotion he felt for his friend. Sasuke thought he saw a hint of something more in the blonde's wonderfully blue eyes, but it was probably him being a bit hopeful.
Sasuke cheered up slightly at the blonde's question. "Sure." A hint of a smile formed on the raven's face, but he let his emotionless composure take over again. He stared at the wall nearest him, thinking about the blonde and his feelings for the blonde boy. How come Naruto wouldn't tell me about Sai? Was that the person who had Naruto's heart before Kiba ever came along? It couldn't be...Naruto couldn't stand Sai at times. I can't stand him either...But Naruto had actually become friends with the paler version of me. Maybe I do have a chance..? No... Naruto probably has someone else in mind.
Naruto smiled weakly at the raven's answer, and somehow fell asleep just when he closed his eyes for a few seconds.
Sasuke heard the snoring not long after Naruto fell asleep, interrupting his thought process. The raven smiled as he saw his blonde friend comfortably asleep. Sasuke got up and walked towards the blonde, standing at his bedside. He put one hand on the blonde's cheek, softly smiling and not knowing what came over him at the time. He leaned down slowly, wanting to kiss his blonde on the lips, but instead kissing him on the forehead.
~~Naru POV~~
"Doesn't matter," Sasuke mumbled as he sat down on the hospital bed across the room from me. He looked upset, but when he noticed me staring at him, he composed his face with that emotionless mask again and both of us looked away.
"If you say so...but um... Can you possibly stay the night with me? Or could I stay at your house with you for the night? I won't feel too comfortable spending the night alone for a while..so..please?" I looked at him with pleading eyes full of every emotion I felt for my raven haired friend. I loved him dearly, but I couldn't tell him that. I already know he doesn't feel the same way, and he loves someone else. Whoever it is needs to open their eyes though, they're insane for letting my best friend get away from them! Sasuke is wonderful, and amazing, and just so totally gorgeous that if he loved me and I knew about it, I would never let him go. It's too bad he doesn't love me though, I'd treat him like he should be treated; love him like he needs to be loved. But if he's happy, then I am too, so it's okay.
I thought I saw a hint of a smile, but I must have imagined it because right after I thought I did, an emotionless mask took over my beautiful raven's face. "Sure." Sasuke and I were looking at each other again. Sasuke looked back at the wall again, and seemed deep in thought.
I smiled weakly at my friend and felt it best to close my eyes for a little while.
Sasuke was pressing against me, neither of us had any clothes on except our boxers. We were on his bed, making out. He was on top of me, pulling me close to him, running his fingers through my hair. Oh kami-it feels so wonderful! Sasuke pulled away and looked at me, his onyx eyes full of lust and...love? No, it was just my feelings getting in the way. "Naruto...a-are you sure you want this?" Sasuke asked me. He looked wonderful, and I've never felt better. Yeah, it hurt a bit that he would ask that, but I still wanted this right now.
"I'm sure," I say confidently, pulling him closer to me and kissing him softly. I felt him trying to smirk into the kiss and I laughed inwardly. I felt his tongue against my lips, begging for entrance. I gave it to him, and he deepened the kiss passionately. Maybe I wasn't all that crazy about him loving me...? No, we were just doing this because we were both supposed to have been drunk. I honestly hadn't drinken anything at the wedding or even after the wedding. I was just pretending because thankfully Shikamaru had an idea to try to get me and Sasuke together.
Sasuke slid down his boxers as well as mine, still breaking the kiss until all our clothes were off. He smirked at me. "You wanted it, dobe." He flipped me over on my stomach, gripping me around the waist and holding me to his stomach. I could feel him pressing against my backside. His breath was on my neck. "I hope you're prepared for what you're about to get, Naruto..." He nipped my ear, then kissed my neck. I moaned softly, more excited about actually doing this with Sasuke than I thought I would be.
I could feel him just about to enter me. I needed to get my feelings out first though, but I couldn't. I made my decision. "S-Sasuke, I..."
"Move aside!" I heard a voice say as I was waking up. "Naruto, wake up!" I opened my eyes.
"Hey Baa-chan..." I said. "What's wrong? I heard you only work on the serious stuff. Why are you here?"
"I asked to monitor you for a while. You're heart rate was a bit high for my liking, so I rushed in here. I was going to inject you with lidocaine hydrochloride, but when I got here you're heart rate was slowing back to normal. You feel all right?" Worry was all over Granny Tsunade's face.
Tsunade acted almost like a parent along with Jiraiya for both Kyuubi and Naruto after their real parents died. They were really close.
"I'm okay, I promise. Just..a dream I had I think," I said. Relief swept over her face.
"Good," she said. She turned towards Sasuke now. I only just noticed him there. His emotionless mask was gone, and his face was full of worry and concern. "Sasuke, we're going to release him in about half an hour, you wouldn't mind taking him home then, would you?"
"Of course I'll take him home, but I hope you'll let me use your car. I kind of ran here," he said. Sasuke...he ran here for me?
"Sure, just bring it back today. I kind of need to get home you know." He smirked, concern still in his eyes. Amusement was on Tsunade's face now. "Oh and Naruto...Don't ever call me Baa-chan." She lightly slapped my head and left.
~*~Normal POV~*~
"So...you ran here for me?" Naruto asked, a grin forming on his face. Sasuke chuckled inwardly. He loved that goofy grin of Naruto's.
"Yeah. I even did a cartwheel 'cause I was so excited," Sasuke replied, smirking at his favorite blonde.
Naruto laughed loudly. "I didn't know you could do a cartwheel. Even if you knew how, I doubt you would actually do one over me." They were joking around now. Yeah, Sasuke was a little crestfallen that Naruto didn't believe him, but he was glad that the blonde was okay.
"Oh you don't believe me then? I can do so much that you can't even dream about." Sasuke winked at the blonde playfully and they both laughed.
"Oh really now? Try me." Naruto put on his best sexy face, and Sasuke shivered inwardly. He'd never let the blonde know how much it got to him every time he did that.
Sasuke leaned extremely close to Naruto's ear. "I don't think you'd want me to quit if I ever began," the raven whispered seductively. He brushed his lips against the blondes neck, and the blonde let out a moan. Darn shame he was only faking it. "In fact, I think you'll want to put that moment on reply for the rest of your life." Sasuke backed up and had his face not too far yet not too close too Naruto's. The raven looked at the blonde with a lustful face. Again, it's a shame that this is all just completely fake.
Both boys stayed like that for a while and then laughed so loudly people out in the hallway kind of just stopped and stared at the door. "Sasuke, save it for the bed tonight, ne?" Naruto winked playfully at the raven and they laughed again.
Sasuke and Naruto always played these little games with each other. At times they would act like complete girls and be gossip queens; sometimes they liked to play flirt with each other. Girls especially loved the latter, and got nosebleeds daily before the crash.
Almost an hour passed until a nurse came in. "Mr. Uzumaki, we are ready to release you now," she said, pushing a wheel chair in beside the bed for Naruto to sit in once he got up. "We recommend staying away from too much physical activity for about a week, and try to eat healthy. We've had you on a liquid diet for a while, and you can gradually ween yourself back to solid foods today, just drink plenty of water as well. You may go back to your normal routines after two weeks, just make sure you gradually go back into it. Also, get plenty of sleep and try not to stress yourself out too much. If you feel you need to see a physical therapist to get the gist of moving back, feel free to do so, but we'll give Mr. Uchiha the card to hold onto for you for now." She turned to Sasuke now. "Mr. Uchiha, here's the card and this is from Lady Tsunade, she says to 'bring her baby back right away.'" She handed him the card and Tsunade's keys and he nodded. She turned back to Naruto. "Mr. Uzumaki, please allow us to help you into the wheelchair. Your posessions from the time of the crash can be picked up at the front desk tomorrow. I assume Mr. Uchiha will be doing that for you, so make sure to come back."
"Kami that's going to be hard. But okay, I guess I will since Sasu over there is a little health freak," Naruto said, lightly smiling at his raven haired friend. Sasuke smirked.
"Hush up dobe, I eat healthy because I don't want to overdose on instant ramen all the time," Sasuke said, smirking at his dobe. "Now come on, let's get you out of this bed and into mine." The raven winked at his dobe and set him down in the wheelchair. The two laughed at Sasuke's joke of their earlier play flirting.
"Shizune, when we get to the front desk, do I really have to push him out into the parking lot? I can carry him, I promise," Sasuke said as he was pushing the wheelchair his dobe was in down the hall.
She made a face that clearly suggested she didn't fully approve of it but said, "I guess it would be okay, just make sure he doesn't fall." Sasuke nodded. They walked in silence to the front desk.
"Come on dobe, we need to get you home now." Sasuke picked up the blonde boy and carried him bridal style to Tsunade's red Lamborghini. The raven smirked at the old woman's decision in cars, and got out the keys, unlocking the doors. Sasuke placed Naruto in the front passenger seat, accidentally brushing his hand against Naruto's *ahem*. The raven blushed for a fraction of a second, and Naruto had just barely saw it. The blonde laughed loudly at the raven's embarrassment. "Shut up.."
The blonde continued laughing but then stopped as he looked out the window of the door that his raven haired friend just slammed. It was snowing. "Hey Sasuke, it's...snow," Naruto said. The raven had just gotten in the driver's seat and looked out the window.
"Hn." Naruto was always somewhat annoyed by Sasuke's lack of interest in some things. They drove to Sasuke's house in silence. When they arrived, Naruto gasped. He'd never get used to how big the estate was that Sasuke lived at. It was like a mansion connected to other mansions, connected to others, and so forth. It was just a huge castle to Naruto. "Stop gaping." Somehow Naruto hadn't noticed that Sasuke was already out of the car with the door open on the passenger's side, ready to get Naruto out.
"S-sorry. I just haven't gotten used to this place yet. I know I've been here before, but I never really got used to it." Sasuke shrugged and picked up the blonde bridal style again, kicking the door closed. The raven opened the door to his house and set Naruto down on the couch.
"I'll be back in about an hour, I need to pick up some groceries since I now have you staying with me for a while." Naruto nodded, watching the raven walk out of the house. Damn that's one nice ass... The blonde shook his head, he couldn't let his feelings take over while he was staying here.
Anyone else like that dream? No? Yes? Just say so if you want it in a later chapter, because as usual, I'm only going chapter by chapter on this, only having slight little ideas for later chapters which I forget until I reread everything and have a little "oh" moment.
[({*COMPLAINTS AND SLIGHT SPOILERS HERE*})]
Kami, I've had I dont know how much trouble with this one. First it says I'm not logged in and I'm just sitting at my computer like "WHAT?" when I try to save like, 1000+ words of work after I finish writing the whole little Sai-Naru-Sasu thing plus however much after that. Then I get it all typed again, and my brother asks me to do something on another tab on a website that caused my browser to just shut down on me after I've finished typing that all plus some. Yeah, that time I saved right after I finished writing my Sai-Naru-Sasu scene, but it completely miffed me because I had gotten up to the whole dream part! When I finally got it all typed again plus the dream, I got to save. I got though to the part where Naruto and Sasuke have their mini-argument about eating healthy, and I save. I then got to the part where Sasuke is carrying Naruto bridal style to the car, which I know isn't that far along, and I'm about to save and it says that I'm not logged in. Again. miffs me muches. So from this, I have learned to save every three words, even if I'm getting seriously into what I'm writing at the time.
[({*COMPLAINT/SPOILER WHATVERS OVER*})]
Okay so that's it for my complaints, anyone care to guess the names of all the companies/buildings I have (slightly made up) and possibly will mention in this? I'll give you a little hint: there will only be 5 in this whole thing that I actually mention that weren't already there in the original anime/manga. There's a dojo, furniture company, interior design company, school, and construction company. Guess which two go together for business trips normally and eventually will be united after our favorite Kyuubi and Itachi get married?
ALSO: Anyone have any suggestions yet? Because I honestly have nothing fully planned out for this. I go one chapter at a time, and I mostly just work as I go. I only got the idea for the first chapter when a friend of mine and I were talking about car crashes and then suddenly switched the topic to Naruto/Naruto Shippuden. Somehow we saw another one of our friends whose eyes reminded us of Naruto's and so...we just started talking about Naruto and instantly got off the subject of car crashes, which I'll never know how we got onto the subject. But enough of that, if you have any suggestions, just say so, k?
Kami that was a long ending A/N xD I'll probably be updating again tomorrow, because I just love to write and I haven't gotten writers' block ONCE since I started writing this(:
