4:15 A.M.
The Next Day…
"Dobe, wake up." Naruto groaned and sat upright slowly. Thinking he was at home, sleeping on his own bed, he stretched out.
And fell off of the chair.
It took Sasuke all of his power to hold back a laugh, but he managed it. Naruto looked around in a bit of a daze. Slowly, his eyes wandered up to Sasuke sitting on the bed looking down at him.
"Oi, teme, watcha doin' in my room? It's the middle of the night, fool." He glared.
"I'm not in you're room, you're in mine." He replied calmly. Naruto looked around the dimly lit room and remembered everything that happened.
"Sasuke." He sat up and looked directly at Sasuke.
"What is it, dobe?" He asked.
"You are allergic to carrots." Naruto replied and fell over, the last moments of consciousness slipping away.
"Naruto!" He exclaimed and jumped to his feet, clutching his stomach. He checked Naruto's pulse. That's fine. So are his pupils. He checked his neck for swollen glands. Slightly swollen, but nothing worth note. Does he have a fever? Sasuke pressed his own forehead to Naruto's, hoping that he didn't. However, luck was not on his side. Poor Naruto had quite the fever. Sasuke guessed about 104.8°. This wasn't good.
He scooped up the smaller blonde and placed him on his bed and left to tell Momo.
"Whaddya mean Naruto's sick? Last I checked, you were the one bedridden, not 'im. Are you pullin' my leg?" Momo leaned in and examined Sasuke's face. He shook his head irritably and hustled into Naruto's room. Momo followed and examined the blonde.
"He's so hot. Probably got it when he dived into that water after you. Don't worry, I'll cook up some medicine and he'll be better in no time." She winked at Sasuke reassuringly (not flirtatiously) and left the room.
Now it was Sasuke's turn to sit at the bedside and watch his friend. It's all my fault. I'm so sorry, Naruto. I shouldn't have fallen into that lake. I should've watched where I was going. I'm so sorry…Suddenly; something warm entangled itself in Sasuke's hand. It was Naruto's. He looked down in shock.
"Its okay, Sasuke. I'll get better. It's just a cold. Don't beat yourself up, okay? I saved you because I wanted to. Not because I had to." Naruto smiled weakly at Sasuke. The raven-haired boy looked away from Naruto so he wouldn't see that he was about to cry. Had he been thinking aloud?
Just then, Momo walked into the room as Sasuke wiped away his tears. She stopped mixing her medicine and smiled at him warmly. She leaned in and whispered to him just quiet enough so Naruto wouldn't be able to eavesdrop.
"Don't worry, Sasuke. He'll be just fine. The medicine I'm about to give him should make him sleep for a couple of days, so you're in charge of feeding him, got that?"
Sasuke nodded as Momo coaxed Naruto do drink the foul-smelling liquid. He almost spat it back up, but eventually managed to hold it down.
Thirty minutes passed and Naruto was still conscious. He had somehow managed to keep holding Sasuke's hand the entire time without the raven pulling away. He looked over at Sasuke again and smiled weakly.
"Sorry I stole your bed, teme." He mumbled. Sasuke did one of his rare smiles. This one, however, was not in mockery, but in kindness.
"It's okay, dobe."
"Ya know what?"
"What?"
"You're really weird." Naruto furrowed his brows. Sasuke blinked and looked stupidly at Naruto.
"Really? How so?"
"You're usually really mean to me, but whenever I'm in trouble, you suddenly become so nice…I like you better when you're nice."
"Well…I think I'm going to take that as a compliment. Thanks, Naruto." His thanks fell on deaf ears. Naruto had finally fallen asleep. Sasuke looked at the blonde haired boy and smiled. He looked so innocent when he was sleeping.
He brushed his hair out of his eyes and watched him sleepily. Now it didn't seem so bad to be stuck with Naruto. He was much more tolerable when he was sleeping. Before he knew it, Sasuke had also fallen asleep.
10:47 A.M.
Momo's House
"Sasuke. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to wake up sooner or later." Momo said while tapping Sasuke's shoulders lightly. He slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes sleepily.
"What is it, Momo?" He asked and turned to her.
"I need you to feed Naruto for me."
"How do I do that? He's sleeping."
"I'll demonstrate, but just this once. After I do that, I have to finish cooking up a snack for everyone else." She slid her hand under Naruto's head and gently lifted it up. She took a spoonful of tomato soup and put his lips to the tip of it and drained the spoon into his mouth. She rubbed his throat and he swallowed.
"Easy as that. You got it, Sasuke?" She asked while looking at him. He nodded and demonstrated his knowledge to her. Satisfied, she left the room to prepare food for the rest of them.
Just as Sasuke finished, Kakashi walked in holding a bowl of oatmeal in each hand. He handed one to Sasuke who finished it in record time and turned back to Naruto.
"Eh…Sasuke?"
"Hm?"
"Why are you holding Naruto's hand?" Sasuke immediately dropped it and turned towards his Sensei, a light blush staining his cheeks.
"Well…I just thought that would be a nice thing to do."
"Naruto's unconscious." Kakashi pointed out bluntly. Sasuke's blush deepened.
"He grabbed my hand in the first place, so stop bugging me!" Sasuke exploded.
"Okay, okay! I get it! I was just kidding around! Sheesh!" Kakashi laughed and walked out of the room, bowels in hand. Sasuke looked down at his sleeping friend.
"Sorry about that, Naruto. About the screaming and everything." Needless to say, he was quite startled when the blonde stirred slightly and looked up at Sasuke.
"It's okay, Sasuke. I didn't get to sleep in the first place." He admitted sheepishly.
"You didn't?"
"Nope. I just couldn't for some reason."
"Then how come you didn't feed yourself?"
"You fed me?"
"Yes."
"Then maybe I slept a little bit after all…" Naruto sat up and stretched.
"Can you send Momo in here?"
"Uh…sure…just a minute…….Hey, Momo! Naruto's up. He wants to see you!" Sasuke called out over his shoulder. Within seconds, Momo was already in the room, checking Naruto's vitals.
"Incredible." She mumbled.
"What is?" Naruto and Sasuke asked in unison.
"Well, to be honest, you should have been sick for another week. My goodness, you ninja people sure are good at recuperation!" She laughed. Naruto scowled a scowl that would make most peoples' blood run cold. She stopped laughing.
"What's the matter?" She asked.
"Ninja's don't get sick." Naruto replied seriously.

"HAHAHAH!!! JUST KIDDING!!! AW, MAN! I REALLY HAD YOU THERE, DIDN'T I?!? AHAHAAA!!! THAT WAS GREAT! YOU TWO SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE LOOKS ON YOUR FACES!!! PRICELESS!!! ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS!!!" Naruto squealed and began jumping on the bed. Now it was the other two's turn to glare at him. But, in seeing Naruto bouncing off of the walls like a five-year-old, they too began laughing.
That is, until Sasuke started coughing.
The blonde looked at Sasuke, "OMYGODIDIDN'TGETYOUSICKDIDI!?!?" Naruto asked so fast Momo stared at him. (Translation: Oh My God I Didn't Get You Sick Did I?)
"What in tarnation you spoutin' out?" she asked. Naruto then picked Sasuke up and laid him in the bed he had been in. Of course, you can expect Sasuke struggled and sent many death glares to his friend.
Naruto frowned at the stubborn Uchiha, "You're staying in bed! You're sick I can tell!" the Kyuubi Vessel said almost in a pout.
Momo looked at Naruto in confusion, "Yeh certain'?" she asked.
"No! I mean Yeah! I mean… Oh Puck…"
"Puck…?"
"NEVER MIND JUST HELP TEME!!!"
