Naruto's POV
Eating my favorite ice cream, listening to Chopin's music and most of all spending time with Pein- today is the most perfect day of my life. I knew nothing could go wrong. Well, that's what I thought. As the climax of the Fantasie Impromptu built up, I heard a loud crash came from behind. I quickly looked back, only to find a flying black car, suspended in the air, turning and finally landing with a very, very loud thud. I looked at the scene in horror. The man in the other sedan stepped out and ran to the upside-down car. People started to take out their mobile phones, calling ambulances and the authorities. An unpleasant feeling suddenly crept into me. The car looked a lot like Aniki's.
"PEIN!!! TURN AROUND!!!" I almost yelled into Pein's ear.
"Huh? Why? Help will arrive anytime soon… It's better if we stay out of their way…" Pein said, almost calmly
"IT'S MY ANIKI'S CAR… YOU'VE GOT TO TURN BACK!!!"
"Are you sure???"
"I AM! NOW TURN BACK!!! PEIN!!!"
Pein quickly stepped on the brakes and turned around, drifting to the other lane. Ambulances started to come from the opposite direction and were clearing up the crash site. I flew out of Pein's car to see if my intuitions were wrong, and I sure do hope it is. But everything crumbled down as I saw the plate number of the destroyed car. I ran to see the body inside, only to be held back by the paramedics. I was going hysterical when they finally pulled out a familiar man out. They carried him on a stretcher and mounted him at the back of the ambulance.
"Sorry, kid. You're not allowed unless you're…" A paramedic told me, but I quickly cut him short
"THAT'S MY ANIKI!!! YOU'VE GOT TO LET ME THROUGH!!!"
"Kid…" The paramedic still tried to stop me from passing through
"Where will he be brought?" A voice from behind asked. When I turned around, I saw Pein, walking towards me.
"Tokyo General Hospital."
"Could we see him once he gets to the hospital?"
"Certainly."
"Then we'll just head there."
"Thank you very much for your cooperation."
Pein patted my shoulder, gesturing me to retreat to his car and go to the hospital separately. I reluctantly obliged. The drive to the hospital was quiet. Neither of us uttered a single word. Heavy air surrounded us both. Then nearer we get to the hospital, the faster my heart flutters. When Pein pulled over, I stepped out of the car and immediately went to the ER where the busy nurses were catering to the patient's needs. I went to the information area and asked for Aniki.
"Uchiha Sasuke. Let me check… Ah, he's being treated right now. They're taking the glass shards off his body and he's undergoing X-ray… In case he has broken bones that needed proper medication…" The woman informed me, not taking her eyes off the computer.
"Ah… So desu ka."
"Hai. Please take your seat outside by the waiting area. We will inform you in case he needs to be confined in a room."
I nodded and Pein walked me to the empty chairs outside the Emergency Room. He passed by the coffee machine and purchased some coffee for him and orange juice for me. He then sat down beside me, handing me the cold can of beverage. I drank quietly, fondling the moisture outside of the can with my thumbs. Restlessness was the only feeling I have in me. I was anxious to know what happened to my aniki. Out of the blue, I felt and arm wrapped around my shoulder and pulling me close.
"Relax, Naruto … He'll pull through… I know he will…" Pein's soothing voice encouraged me, patting my head
"I really hope so…" I sighed worriedly
"Ne, Naruto…" Pein pulled out, looking at me straight in the eyes
"Hmm?"
"Earlier… When we were going for a drive… And then you asked me to turn around… You called me by my first name…
"Did I? Gomen ne… That's quite disrespectful of me…"
"You know, Naruto… I don't mind if you call me Pein… In fact, I preferred you call me that… Calling me "Nagato-san" makes me feel old…" He said, laughing and scratching the back of his head
"Iie… That's not what I want you to call me… I'm your koibito now… I don't want you to address me so formally… Here's a pop quiz, what's my given name?"
"Pein… Watashi no Pein…"
"Very good."
He then smiled softly. He pulled me in his arms as emerald green eyes crashed with sapphire blue ones. Pein leaned in, his lips dangerously close to mine. I could feel his hot, peppermint scented breath fan against my lips. He stopped abruptly and waited for me to close the distance between us. I need not telling twice. I leaned in and kissed his partly open lips. It was simply magical…
"Aishiteru, ore no Naruto…"
"Aishiteru, watashi no Pein…"
Everything was falling into place. It's like in my dream. Pein asked me to call him by his first name. That would only mean that he looks at me as someone special. He never let anyone call him Pein. Well, except for aniki since he's his closest friend. I smiled and nodded at him.
"Pein…"
"Hmm?"
"Nothing… I just wanted to say it…"
Sasuke's POV
"Naruto…"
I called out to my otouto who was about a meter away from me. He had a hand held out, reaching to me. But then as our fingertips brushed against each other's, a pair of arms wrapped around him and pulled him away. I saw Pein's face. His lips were curved up in a familiar smirk. I cried out to him, calling his name again and again like a chant. But he had his eyes closed and his hand that was reached out was now held closely around Pein's. I felt hot tears rolled down my cheeks as my voice cracked from calling his name out loud.
"NARUTO!!!"
I opened my eyes. Sunlight streaked into my room and blinded me. I groaned a little, feeling my heavy head and my aching body. Carefully, I sat up. My whole right arm was cemented in a cast with a sling supporting its whole weight. I clenched my free hand, only to find out another pair of hands wrapped around it. I glanced to my side, finding Naruto on the bedside chair, sleeping with his head on the mattress. I tried to free my hand from his. But as I did, he stirred and woke up. He blinked before opening his beautiful ocean blue eyes. Bringing his hand up to his eyes, he rubbed his azure orbs and freed it from the morning motes. He stretched his back, producing tiny cracking sounds which comforted him. After he finished his morning "waking-up" routine, he looked at me with eyes mirroring concern and gladness.
"Ne… Ohayou, aniki… How are you?" He asked
"Spectacular." I said flatly
I suddenly remembered why I was confined in a hospital, with my arm locked up in a hideous cast. It was because of Naruto and Pein. They caused this. Naruto told me that he's going to stay home. But then I saw him with Pein, acting like two lovebirds in the stupid blue Chevrolet. I closed my eyes and looked outside the window, up to the sky. He fell silent. It's as if he sensed some hostility in me. The silence was broken by a knock on the door.
"Breakfast for Uchiha-san." The voice called out
I heard ruffling of the sheets and the chair being dragged back. I turned and saw him walked to the door to open it. A young man dressing in white shirt and trousers walked in with a tray in hand. Naruto led him to the nearest table for him to set down the food. He bowed to the delivery boy and led him out. He then walked back to examine the food brought for me. The scent of bacon and eggs with freshly toasted bread wafted to my nose. I watched him get the cup from the tray and walked out to the door. Seconds later, he went back with a steaming hot cup. He then set it down to the small saucer where it was originally placed and poured the contents of the small packs of instant coffee, creamer and sugar in it. After preparing the hot beverage, he assembled the table attached to the bed and brought the breakfast tray on top of it. He slid the slab closer to me, signaling me to eat.
I didn't thank him for it. I quickly got the fork and started eating my breakfast. He even offered to spread some butter on my toast, but I didn't answer him. Despite of the silent treatment he was getting, he was still helping me: smearing the butter on my toast then added the strawberry jam on top of it, getting some cold water for me and even brining out the tray to be picked up. Even though he was helping me, I still haven't uttered a single word.
"Ne, aniki… Did I do something wrong???" He asked
"Have you seen my phone?" I asked sternly
He handed to me my V6. I quickly flipped it open, dialing my coach's number, Tobi-sensei. I inhaled sharply as I patiently waited for him to pick up. An alto voice then came in, welcomed me with slight annoyance and worry. I sighed as I heard his endless rant went on and on. His sermon was quite long and I felt my ears hurt at the sound of his voice.
"Uchiha!!! I heard what happened from Nagato… What the heck were you thinking? What had gotten you in an accident like that? Look what happens when you drive recklessly. Is your arm broken? Is it the shoulder? When will you be released? What did the doctor say? Will you be able to play for the Kantou finals? What will we do if you can't play? The tournament is only a week from now. We're facing one of the strongest teams in the Kantou region. What are we going to do if we lose? We're aiming for our fifth national championships."
"Hai… Sumimasen, Tobi-sensei…" He then sighed, and his tone changed from a scolding coach to a caring friend
"Get well soon, ne, Uchiha… You're an important part of the team…"
"Hai… I will…"
I then hung up. Naruto sat down on the edge of the bed. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but he hesitated. His mouth opened and closed like a fish gasping for air. I ran a free hand to my raven locks, brushing the newly made hair. Deafening silence again shrouded the both of us. This time, I decided to break it. Relaxing my hot blood, I started a light conversation with my otouto.
"Naruto."
"Hai?"
"Don't ever go anywhere without my permission…" Straight to the point, that's how it's suppose to be.
"Demo… Aniki… How did you--?"
"Did I make myself clear, Naruto?"
"Hai, aniki."
The doctors then came in and started informing me of my condition. They told me that my arm was fractured and my shoulder was dislocated. I needed to be in a cast for at least two months and have my rehabilitation for another two months. With that bad news, I felt gloomy and distraught. But then, one of the doctors somehow knew that I played tennis and told me that my game won't be affected. It wasn't career threatening and with proper therapy, I will be good as new.
"Thank you, sensei…"
The doctors nodded and then left us again. Naruto felt uneasy at first. I felt it. So, I calmed down and patted at the spot next to me. He then sat on it and I quickly hit him comically on the head. I then obtained a pout in reply. Without warning, I stretched out my arm around him and pulled him close. He seemed surprise by the act, but I still held him in place. To my relief, he didn't pull back. He even snuggled closer to me. I could feel his heart beat against mine, his chest rise and fall at the rhythm of his breathing and his breath, warm against my hospital garb. I didn't know why I was doing it. Maybe that simple act had a much complicated meaning. Maybe it was then that I admitted that these simple feelings I'm having were actually love and not just a simple infatuation. Maybe it was love that I got me into the freak accident and rendered me in a cast, unable to play my favorite sport. Maybe I was jealous that Naruto was returning Pein's feelings for him. Questions and speculations were floating in my mind. I can't answer them. I was so naïve when it comes to love.
You're in love, Sasuke… Just admit it…
Another chappie down!!!
Note from the previous fic:
(1) I'm sorry if I used too much Japanese phrases... It's really easier for me to write in Japanese... I'll try to lessen it for you guys... Ne? :D
(2) "Ore" and "boku" are two pronouns exclusively used by males when they are speaking about themselves. It somehow depicts superiority and their manliness, especially "ore". "Watashi" , however, is used by both males and females. But, when a guy uses "watashi", it somehow depicts formality and femininity. I just used "watashi" for Naruto, because clearly, he'll be the uke. I hope this clears my pronoun usage.
I really hope I didn't mess up... And thanks for reviewing...
