My Medication
Disclaimer: C0nstantine and R-o-M do not own Naruto. They kick royal ass at Starjeweled on SC2 however. (MUAHAHA FEAR US! -R-o-M)
White irises look down at me.
A smile graces her beautiful face as she leans down and kisses me. Three pills are in my hand now. I have medication these days that I'm supposed to take. One is for the hangovers. It is red. My favorite pill is that pill.
My second one is a purple pill. It calms me down. I'm not supposed to go outside with(out?) it. I'm also not supposed to drink when I have it, but that usually doesn't stop me.
My last pill is gray or tan, and this changes whenever Hinata has to find a new pharmacist. This one stops the voices I'm not supposed to hear. I don't like this pill. I usually spit it out when she's not looking.
As I sit up, I notice the morning feels different, but I don't know why. It's a certain feeling in my chest, like butterflies floating and fluttering around, too busy to find a place to relax. I feel nervous, anxious and like I've been asleep for years.
Maybe today I'll finally stop moping around.
"You've been out for two days." Hinata says, her voice thick with relief and the sound of monotony.
How many times have I woken up to this?
"I don't remember much." Well, much of what happened when I was drunk.
"You didn't do a whole lot. You just had a bit of a relapse when you were out fishing, it wasn't that bad." That answer was a tad too vague, but then again, she was always horrible at lying to me, it's just one of those things.
"Hinata... " The blame game always works wonders for me.
"Ok, but it's not really that bad." She holds her arm out and I see the dark, red line sliding gracefully along the top. Lunch from two days ago quickly burns in my stomach. It wants to find a way out.
"I... I..." I need to throw up. Those red pills must not be working.
Hinata notices this and puts her arms around me, holding me tightly like any second I'm about to fight free.
"Don't worry," She says calmly, pulling back and standing up. "It's nothing new. I use to be a medic, remember? After all, how do you think I still get you those pills?" A smirk graces her lips and I find myself relieved in some small way.
"I'm still sorry Hinata-chan. I promise... I'll try and slow down on the drinking. I don't ever want to hurt you like that again."
She shakes her head and goes into the kitchen, out of my view but still talking to me.
"It's alright Naruto-kun." I can hear water running, and plates being moved. I can make out slicing and chopping. She's cooking for more then just us.
"Is someone coming over?"
"Shino and 'a guest' apparently. He refused to tell me who it was, but he told me it would probably cheer you up."
I can't really think of who'd make me happy right about now. Whoever it is, maybe they'll have a drink with me. Wait, didn't I just talk about 'toning it down on the booze?' So much for today being new.
"So what do you want to do tonight?"
I turn my head around and sigh, looking at Sasuke as he leans on the couch. "I have no idea. Depends on who's coming over, when they leave, all the usual."
"Maybe we can head down to the town again. I kinda like it there."
"Yeah, I knew you would." I smile and face the living room again, yawning deeply.
Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Well, I'm gonna go. You know how company feels about me. Later."
"Later-" I turn back to Sasuke and notice he's already gone. Never really likes to stay around much.
Heh, not like he ever did.
I stand up and head to the door, heading down the hall. "Can you get that?" Hinata asks politely, talking just loud enough to catch my ear. "Already on my way."
I put my hand on the doorknob and sigh. Maybe today won't suck too bad.
Click.
"Hi Naruto."
"...Ino?"
I will be needing another purple pill.
Sorry the chapter is short, but classes started up so I didn't have a lot of time to write. I'll be updating with another chapter tomarrow to make up for it. For updates on the fic and stuff in general, remember to check my profile and go to the Blog.
To ObsessionThe-Never-Ending-Wait: "Do you realize this is NarutoHinata?"
No. I didn't. Being that this is my story, I totally forgot what I was doing.
If you care that much about it, make your own fan fiction and stop reading mine. For someone nine chapters deep (when you made your comment) you should have left sooner if you were coming for straight up Hinata and Naruto. Oh yeah, and Cap Locking words doesn't make them more important. Just makes you look stupid.
To Kyu15: Thanks for yet another review! I made sure to post this tonight just to stay on track for you, my man. I checked the song out, it's pretty good XD Keep on reading man, hope you like it.
