He blinked. Once. Twice. Thrice. Sasuke awoke to find himself sleeping in a chair in the hospital waiting room. As soon as he awoke, Sasuke asked a nearby nurse whether Naruto Uzamaki was allowed visitors at the moment, to which he was denied access and asked to sit back down. After taking a quick glance at the clock, he figured Sakura and Kakashi should be here soon and he thought he could kind of sense their chakra so they must be coming close to the village. He leant back into the seat, wondering for a few minutes why he wasn't allowed into Naruto's room before he heard the door swing open and Sakura's voice piercing the silence.

"Sasuke-kun! How's Naruto?" She squealed; her voice irritated the ears that had adjusted to silence without even saying more than his name. The Uchiha grimaced and clutched his head.

"Not so great, Tsunade's having problems. She tried to fix him but some of it undid after a few hours so he was in a lot of pain. His bones are all mangled and she said without her help he could be incapacitated. She wants to keep him here a while and fix up the more important bits then let him go home but keep coming back to get more fixed. He's not allowed to use chakra or use too much energy until it's all fixed." Sasuke explained, hoping the woman would grasp it first time.

"I wonder if I could help her at all…" Sakura mumbled to herself before vanishing down the hall to find Tsunade. Kakashi took the seat that was free to Sasuke's right and patted the boy's thigh in a comforting way once, until he realised that this was Sasuke not one of his other students and hastily excused himself.

"Kakashi? I felt this emotion the other day… I can't quite place it… I felt it whenever I looked at Naruto… It wasn't happy or sad… It was sort of both at once but it made me feel sick and I couldn't concentrate on anything else… What is it? I've never felt anything like it, it's horrible…" Sasuke muttered, hiding his face as he was embarrassed to admit he had an emotional side. However, when Kakashi started laughing to himself, even Sasuke couldn't hide the fact that all of his blood was rushing to his cheeks.

"Let me guess. When you say you feel sick it's like your stomach is churning rather than nausea. When you feel it you look at Naruto and feel protective in a way that you don't towards anyone else. It's a similar feeling to when you were running here with him. It feels like you're heart is on fire but at the same time it feels torn apart. You felt uncomfortable when Tsunade made you leave him." Kakashi explained, smiling softly underneath his mask. Sasuke nodded slightly, although he hated to admit it. Kakashi grin spread even further as he patted Sasuke's back and whispered in his ear.

"You're in love. Don't think I'm mocking you like the rest, google it. You're in love." Sasuke froze in his seat, wondering whether Kakashi might just be pulling his leg but deep down he knew that Kakashi wasn't the joking type that often. Sasuke rested his head in his hands trying to work out if Kakashi was leading him on or not.

"I'm not joking Sasuke but it's okay. It's not exactly unrequited is it? Anyway, you said yourself that Naruto isn't in a very good way at the moment. It'd help him if he knew." Kakashi lectured, trying to reassure Sasuke. "I can't promise Sakura would be very impressed but she'd get over it. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks though I know for a fact you both like each other so just get it out there. It reminds me of this great scene from make out paradise –"

"This is nothing like that screwed up book!" Sasuke yelled, hiding his face in his hands. He couldn't help it, but now all he could imagine was himself and Naruto acting out one of the scenes. Thus he needed to pull down his shirt. Yet, Sasuke knew well enough that those books were laden with lust rather than love, so he was safe. He never wanted to be that messed up.

"Okay, okay Sasuke. I can't imagine the two of you being perverted. You seem like romantics to me anyway… But yeah, tell him. I bet it'd be cute!" Kakashi cooed, causing Sasuke to grimace. Kakashi was truly terrifying sometimes. Sakura slipped back through the glass doors and gave Sasuke and Kakashi a look which told them that they were allowed to follow her through. Kakashi walked in first, kneeling by Naruto's shoulders and taking his hand within his own. The blonde boy had broken out in cold sweat and gained more bandages around his torso and the crown of his head since Sasuke had last been in here. Naruto was slumped into the bed, whimpering as little, trying to turn to see Kakashi.

"Hey shhh it's okay Naru-kun… Stop moving it'll hurt more…" Kakashi cooed, shuffling where Naruto would be able to see him. The blonde seemed to calm a little, finding comfort in his sensei. Kakashi patted the blonde's hair, trying to calm him so that he'd give up trying to move.

"Kakashi-sensei…" Naruto mumbled trying to move closer but being held still by Kakashi. The grey haired man ruffled his students hair but set his eyes showing that he meant business.

"Naruto, I want you to listen to me. This is serious. I swear Naruto if you don't stop moving and using your chakra, I'll give Tsunade permission to restrain you. After all," Kakashi leant in, lowering his voice, "How much sin could you commit with Uchiha if you were in a chair?" Kakashi grinned a little, but Naruto set his eyes as he fell back against the pillows, the threat working its magic. The blonde let his chest rise and fall gently until Kakashi began running his hand across his stomach, examining the seal while Naruto tried to avoid laughing due to his ticklish side. Kakashi silently hummed to himself, deciding to arrange for Yamato to come and help fix the seal sometime. The older ninja rose, patting Naruto's hair, before giving Sasuke a look that said he should give Naruto his news while he was away finding Yamato.

Sasuke chewed his lip nervously, his fingers becoming a sweaty tangle as he worked up the courage to tell his blonde friend. He wasn't even sure what he felt…

"Sasuke…? W-What's wrong?" Naruto questioned, gazing at the Uchiha with nerves in case his friend was going through problems. Sasuke carefully took his friend's hand in his own, cautious of the strange shape of his hand.

"Naruto? I…I have something important to tell you… I…I'm scared but… Well I to…. You look so sick… I have to now before it could be too late..." Sasuke mumbled, letting his eyes fall but shuffling closer to his friend.

"Out...with it…teme…" Naruto muttered, curling into his mattress while trying not to move too fast. Sasuke felt nerves bubbling in his stomach. "Tell me…"

"N…Naruto… I think I… Well I think I'm in love with you…"

"Oh…"
