The Chances of a Miracle
Chapter 10 - Waking
"Sasuke."
Naruto called out to him, lifting the futon up so find the boy experiencing a nightmare, so the blonde quickly shook him.
"Wake up!"
The boy gasped and shop up with a startled yelp, looking around him rapidly, panting harshly. Was this what Sasuke went through when his family died? Naruto thought. It ached his heart to think Sasuke would remain in his nightmare, and then wake up without anyone there for him. He wrapped his arms around the shaking frame in front of him and held Sasuke close to his chest, protecting him from all evil possible.
The boy remembered where he was and more importantly, remembered the promise Naruto had made for him. He would protect him, and indeed he is. He sighed in relief and held close to Naruto, feeling tears slip down his cheeks.
It was not too long until he fell asleep again, and the blonde allowed himself to take Sasuke to the futon with him to make sure he wouldn't have another bad dream again.
Morning came and so both males were getting ready, well only Naruto was getting ready, Sasuke was just following him with curious eyes after he got dressed up. Or maybe he was very thankful at Naruto for what he did last night, and this kind of affection was his way of appreciation.
"Are you ready, Sasuke?"
Naruto asked, looking over the boy behind him who nodded in determination, but with a curious look in his eyes.
"Who are we looking for, again?"
Naruto had no idea. All he knew was that this man had brown hair, nothing else. If it was short or long hair, or whatever.
"Hum, we will know when we see him."
That was the best Naruto could come up with and it was true, after all there aren't many guys in the world who can read minds, right? Well, they started to move out, and Naruto made his way towards one place he knew too well, apparently forgetting about Sasuke's tail that was out in the open. Hopefully no one will notice them.
They stopped many times on the way, since Naruto did not wish to push his sweet kitten to his limits, and he was not in such a rush after all, rather enjoying this. Naruto had came up with the idea of a cape with a hood for Sasuke to cover up his tail, after getting so many stares on his way. There was one place they stopped at, and it was quite calm. That's why Naruto decided to spend the night there.
But before night came, both males spend their day lazing out, and after a while lying on the same spot brought Sasuke to close his eyes before he could notice anything else. Naruto watched Sasuke sleep for a while before going to entertain himself with something else.
