Naruto's POV

It has been two days since aniki and I fought. Well, it's not really a fight, but sort of a disagreement between us. I tried my hardest to avoid his glances and his futile attempts to talk. I started eating my meals earlier or later than usual to avoid confrontations. I also make it to a point that he never catches me when I'm going to school. It was a cloudy Monday morning, and I was already running late for school. I was in the middle of the street when cold, hard rain started to fall. Covering my head with my book bag, I sprinted to the school, just making it in time before the gate closed. I fixed myself and went for class, partially wet from the rain.

"Naruto-kun, ohayou!" one of my classmates greeted

"Ohayou, Hinata-chan" I greeted back

"Naruto-kun, Tenten-sempai is asking for you." Another classmate called out.

"Hai…"

I walked to the door, only to be welcomed by one of my least favorite sempais. She was Tenten, class 3-A. Her brown hair tied in two buns atop of her head and her piercing brown eyes made her look fierce. Despite of her thin built, she is the ace and captain of the female's basketball team and was an avid admirer of my aniki, since he sometimes coached the team back in his freshman year. Lately, she's been visiting me almost everyday, asking about aniki's kanojous.

"Ohayou, sempai."

"Ohayou, Uzumaki-san. How is Sasuke?"

"Aniki? Ano… He's… He's…"

I didn't know what to say. After having that disagreement with him, all I can think about was negative things to say to my sempai. I knew I couldn't bad mouth aniki to her, she'll go ballistic, and Kami-sama knows what might happen to me if she does. But then, I couldn't lie to her as well. It is against my honor code, and lying to my sempai will only mean bad luck. I was in a tight situation. Good thing the heavens decided to save me. The school bell rung and she decided to continue our conversation some other time. I was relieved.

"Ok, class. Please take your seats." Our sensei said

"Hai." The class said in unison.

He was our math teacher, Umino Iruka. I, too, made my way back to my seat. The rain was pouring down real hard and the air-conditioning in the room made it a lot colder. I could still feel the slight wetness of my uniform. It was too late for me to go back to the house and change. I will miss a lot, and surely, I wouldn't want to miss today's important lesson about the Pythagorean Theorem. I sighed loudly as I took out my thick math book and my notebook. Taking a pencil, I started jotting down notes and drawing the illustrations. As the minutes were ticking, I was starting to feel dizzy. The numbers on the chalkboard were starting to dance in front of my eyes and were swirling into a large whirlpool. I held my throbbing head. The dizziness was starting to take its toll on me. I then heard sensei calling my name.

"Uzumaki-san! Pay attention!" His voice snapped

"Hai… Sumimasen."

I sat up straight and closed my eyes to somehow adjust my vision, but with no success. I was starting to feel lightheaded and I could feel the blood rushing to my face. I started feeling hot, despite of my cold surroundings. Once again, Iruka-sensei called my attention and then urged me to go to the board to answer an equation. I queasily made my way to the front. As he handed me the whiteboard pen, my body seemed to have collapsed and my vision faded quickly. The last thing I saw was Iruka-sensei catching me in his arms before I fell completely on the floor.

What happened to me??

I squirmed and squinted as I slowly opened my eyes. I was lying on a small bed covered with pristine white drapes. I looked around, only to find myself in a familiar infirmary room. I groaned, feeling intense pain all over my body, particularly my head. It was somewhat difficult for me to breathe. The nurse seemed to have sensed that I had woken up and went to check my temperature. She gave me an electronic thermometer and told me to place it just under my armpits. As soon as it made a "clicking" sound, she took it back from me, and was alarmed with my temperature.

"102… That's quite high, Uzumaki-san. You should go home and get some rest." The nurse said, stowing away the thermometer and taking out some medicine. "I should go and call your oniisan."

"Ano… Please don't call him… I'm quite alright, walking by myself. I just need to borrow an umbrella…"

"Are you sure, Uzumaki-san? Your oniisan will be concerned if something else would happen to you."

"I don't want him to worry about me…" That was a complete lie. I just didn't want to see him

"You've been in quite a lot of accidents ever since you entered this school, you know…"

"I'll be careful this time."

"Are you sure you can do that?"

"Positive. I promise" The nurse then sighed in defeat

"Alright. You wait here while I get an extra set of clothes for you. You can't go walking out there with wet clothes."

"Hai. Domo arigatou gozaimasu."

She then smiled at me and made her way out of the small quarter. I tried to stay up, excreting extra effort not to move my head so much. It took her a while before she could bring a set of gym clothes and a paper bag for me. While changing, I heard Hinata bring all my books and homework for me. I waited for her to leave before stepping out of the tiny room. The nurse handed me an umbrella and my book bag. She told me to drink my medicine first before I headed home.

After leaving the infirmary, I slowly made my way through the school and onto the front gate. I changed into my leather shoes before walking out to the cold street. I took small but sure steps. The dizziness was taking its toll on me. I had to stop by a post to somehow stabilize myself. But my condition only worsened. I was breathing harder and my legs were already giving in. I know I couldn't count on anyone. I didn't want to call my aniki. I resumed walking, but then slipped on the rain water. Faith almost turned against me when my consciousness was slowly seeping away. A voice called me from behind, but the darkness beat him and knocked me out first.

"Naruto!!"

Sasuke's POV

I had received a message from Naruto's school nurse, informing me that he had caught a cold and had an extremely high fever. I didn't know what had gotten over me. But as soon as I saw the message, I stood up and sprinted out of the room, leaving stunned looks from my classmates and a loud bellow from my sensei. But I didn't care. It was Naruto. He might be in trouble, I could sense it. I ran to my car and drove exceptionally fast to his school, only to find him walking by the pedestrian lane. I stepped out of the car and saw him slip in the rain. Instinct made my feet move and call out his name. I managed to catch him on time before he completely fell down on the muddy concrete floor. I sighed in relief as I carried him back to my car, laying him down on the back seat.

I drove to the house and carefully brought him in, setting him down on his plush bed. I touched his forehead and his burning skin alarmed me. It was indeed a high fever. My hand accidentally brushed on his clothes. It was a little damp. My mind argued if I were to change his clothes. He might get mad if he knew, but then, I could leave his clothes to dry on his skin. His condition might worsen. I finally decided to change him into his nightwear. I searched out for some decent clothes and then kneeled down by his bedside to change him. I kept one eye closed as I took off his wet clothes, not wanting to be a pervert and examine his body with gusto. After 10 excruciatingly long minutes, I managed to finish without waking him up. I took a last look, before leaving his room and calling up Pein to fetch my things that were left in the classroom.

"SASUKE!!" Pein yelled, pounding on the door.

I opened the door for him, revealing a wet and soaked Pein. I quickly pulled him in and made him wait by the door mat. I then went to the bathroom and retrieved a towel for him to dry himself up. I threw the towel to him and then made my way to my room to give him some clothes to change in. After he dressed into warm clothes, he set his and my book bag down and slumped himself on the couch. I then offered some hot coffee for him. I set it down on the table before taking a seat beside him

"You know, I was surprised with you." Pein started

"With what?"

"Sheesh… Do you have short term memory loss? You practically took off like a rocket out of the classroom!!"

"Did I?"

"Yeah… Even Orochimaru-sensei was surprised."

"Did he ask why?"

"Of course. So I told him it might be your otouto… Good think the old man bought it…"

"Yeah… Good thing…"

"Your brother complex is really something…."

"Hm??"

"Seeing you storm out of the classroom like that… That's really sweet of you… You could sense if Naruto's in trouble…"

"Don't say a word more..."

"You like the complement. Just accept it. Anyway, I have to hurry… We still have tennis practice in the indoor courts."

"Alright. Arigatou, Pein."

He nodded before he finished his coffee and left. I stood up and cleaned the used cups before heading up to Naruto's room. I quietly crept in, making sure not to produce any creaking sound that might wake him up. I sat on the edge of his bed, brushing the hair out of his closed eyes and caressing his tainted pink cheeks. His breathing was a little heavy. I could see the fever gave him difficulty. But, despite that, I realized that he was indeed beautiful. Pein was right. I then chuckled at myself and shrugged off that last thought. I gave him a quick pat on the forehead then whispering to him before leaving the room.

"Get well soon… Naruto."

Naruto recovered after a few days. I was sneaking in some soup and medicine into his room. I placed it onto a tray and retrieve everything when he's asleep. I felt relieved when I found out that he was eating whatever I prepared for him. I also leave notes beside the soups that I made for him. Sometimes it's a

"You'll be skipping school today. Get well soon." Or a "How are you? Do you feel any better now?" Sadly, he wasn't replying to any of my messages. I just thought that he might still be mad at me.

Monday the following week went on fast. I somehow relayed to Naruto that he is fit enough to go to school today. He went down at his usual time, and I was waiting by the kitchen, preparing our breakfast. He looked at me. I didn't know if he wanted to talk, or was it that he was trying to avoid me. I saw him grab an apple and head off to school. I called out to him, but he didn't look back. Quickly, I turned off the stove and packed the finished breakfast then ran to my car to catch up with him. He hadn't walked far and this gave me an opportunity to drive beside him.

"Naruto. Have some breakfast. You only just recovered from your cold and fever. Are you sure it's alright for you to be walking to school?"

No answer.

"Naruto? Please, get into the car."

No answer.

Naruto walked a little faster, but I knew with me being in a car, I could catch up with him even if he did run away from me. Two men then came rounding the corners. As soon as they saw us, they began whispering to each other. Suddenly, they began whistling and making rude comments about our current situation.

"Wow, Uzumaki… I never thought you'd go for guys…" One of them teased

"You're hot, Uzumaki… If he rejects you, mind if you go out with me?"

"Hey, I saw him first… Uzumaki is my hot catch…"

"Hey, Uzumaki… Don't listen to him. If you want, maybe we can go to a motel or something… I promise I won't show you a bad time…"

The two men teased him. I managed to have an eye contact with them and I took the opportunity to give them my infamous death glare. They seemed to have tensed up and ran off when they saw my eyes that mirrored murder. As soon as I saw them scoffed and leave, I turned to Naruto, who was trying to hide the faint blush of his cheeks.

"See Naruto. They're teasing you… They think you're… Uh…."

That was close. Dangerously close. I was about to say hot and sexy bishounen. It was already at the tip of my tongue. I slapped my head mentally for thinking about otouto that way. How could I have those kind of thoughts? I continued convincing him to get into my car, but he was still brushing off my requests. I am not giving up. This is my chance to apologize to him. I won't let it slip out of my paws.
