Ok, chapter 2. This chapter might be worse because I wrote at about 2:00 am. (I don't get much sleep. Insomnia. No, I am not Gaara.)

Thanks for the reviews I got. My answers:

yuyuhakushofan: Yes, Naruto saves everybody.

Ookima: Sorry, I love being mean and throwing in cliffhangers, it really seems to get a readers attention.

TheSeer: Sorry, but I like putting in author notes. Sometimes they can be really funny. And yeah I know, the flashback sign sorta broke it up put hey, I wrote this chapter 1 at like 1:30 am. Thanks for the comment on the action scene.

Orrin: Of course only I can come up with cursed tigers. Bite me. You know how I can get. It was the best mission I could come up with.

Disclaimer: Nope, sorry. Kishimoto-sama owns it, not me. But one day, maybe I will own Naruto. (Or something Naruto-related.)

Summary: On a mission Sasuke gets hurt. I mean really hurt and is in the hospital for a few months. So, Naruto visits him in the hospital a lot and eventually finds himself falling in love with Sasuke.

Rating: PG-13

Anyway, on with the fic!

Chapter 2: Back In Konoha

//Hmmm, where am I? Lots of white. Heaven? No. A.. a hospital. How'd I get here?// Sasuke sat up, but the harsh pain in his chest forced him back down. //Ok, so umm... what happened? How the hell am I still alive? Hmm, last I remember, a tiger was unconscious on my arm, another was enjoying my other arm (A/N: God, that sounds wrong. ^-^), and the last was about to kill me, and then... Then what?// He paused, remembering the flash of red and the blonde figure. //Naruto? But, I thought he was......//

"Sasuke? Oh, you're awake." Naruto opened the door to see Sasuke lying on the hospital bed staring at the ceiling.

"Yes, dobe, can't you see?" He turned his head to look at Naruto. He saw that Naruto had been injured pretty badly, too, but not as bad as he was himself.

Naruto had bandages wrapped around his forehead and neck, causing his normally uncontrolled hair to look even worse. More bandages practically swallowed Narutos' arms (both) and his right leg. None of the bandages really seemed to be keeping back the blood.

"Kami, Naruto, you look horrible." Sasuke commented, cruelly.

"Thanks, jerk. You don't look any better." Naruto frowned and sat at the chair next to Sasukes' bed.

"So, ano.... what happened?"

"Well, while I was running away from the tigers, I heard a loud yell of pain and then a roar, so I turned and came back. Then I saw Kakashi and Sakura lying on the ground. I saw you.... covered in blood. I thought you had died and then Ninetails took over. I don't remember much here, but then I saw your eyes were still closing and I had killed the tigers. You wouldn't wake. I stayed by you until Kakashi woke up. He helped me take you and Sakura out of the cave and we camped out there for the night. Sakura woke late that night. Then we came back to Konoha and put you here in the hospital. That's it I guess." He put one hand on the back of his head, showing he was nervous.

"Ah," Sasuke absorbed this all quickly, "How long have I been sleeping here?"

"Ano.... two weeks and a day, I think." Naruto put his hand down and looked at Sasuke.

//He doesn't look so good with all those bandages on him. I hope he feels better. Hmm, he actually looks kinda good like that. IIE!!!!!!! NO THOUGHTS LIKE THAT NARUTO!!!! You do not swing that way!// Naruto thought.

"Sas—"

Naruto was cut off when a swarm of girls crowded the room. Sakura and Ino were seen here. All the girls held many flowers of many kinds. They were Sasukes' fangirls. Poor Sasuke.

"Kuso." Naruto had become almost inaudible over the obsessing girls. Sasuke could've sworn he heard Naruto say something, but when he looked to find Naruto, he was gone.

He sat there in his bed while he was tortured for the next few hours, till the nurse came shooing the girls away. Soon, Sasuke was left to get his rest.

The next day, Naruto woke before the sun had woken to go check on Sasuke. He knew the fangirls would be still asleep, and he just wanted to talk to Sasuke some more. Well, not talk, he just wanted to see Sasuke.

To stare upon those deep ebony eyes seems like a sin. And those angelic facial features are so beautiful. The fragile, but oh-so-strong muscles on his well built body, and err... let's not go there.

//Ok, so fine. I DO swing that way. Bite me.//

It didn't take long for him to reach the hospital.

Naruto left his apartment, dressed and full of ramen. One nurse sat a the desk, half-asleep.

"Ohayou, Naruto-kun. Come to Sasuke again?" She yawned. Naruto nodded. She motioned for him to go.

He walked down the halls and knocked gently on Sasukes' door. "Sasuke, you up?"

No reply.

Naruto opened the door, only to see Sasuke sleeping peacefully on the bed. He was facing the chair Naruto had sat in the day before.

He sat back in the chair. The window was open, so the wind came in. Sasukes' hair blew gently along with it. Naruto sighed. So, he did like Sasuke, a lot more than a teammate or a friend. But, how was he to tell Sasuke this?

"Hey, Sasuke. I'm gay and I have the hots for you." //No, he would freak. Maybe, maybe I should just keep this to myself.// Naruto thought while he stared at Sasuke.

Sasuke moved a bit in his sleep. He spoke a bit, but nothing was loud enough to understand. The wind blew every once in a while, and the sun came up from its hiding place behind the far-off hills.

Naruto sighed. The only reason why he really got up this early to see Sasuke was because he just wanted to be with Sasuke. For now, all he could do was stare at Sasuke and hope that Sasuke would not wake a think that Naruto is a freak like Kakashi.

Sasuke stirred some more. His voice became slightly easier to hear. Naruto picked up a few words.

"Naruto... love....... I have..... long time. Naruto, stay!" Sasuke reached out his arm quickly and caught Narutos' wrist that had been sneaking towards him. He pulled the Narutos' wrist, which caused Naruto to fall forward. He landed on the bed lightly, Sasukes' hand still grasped his wrist tightly.

He noticed that he had fallen almost nose-to-nose with Sasuke, but he didn't back away. He laid there, thinking of what he should do when Sasuke wakes to find Naruto, nearly nose-to-nose with his arm hanging loosely over his neck.

Suddenly, he heard Sasuke grunt. He eyes opened slowly. He saw Naruto and he eyes widened a bit.

"Naruto, what are you doing?"

TBC....

Hee hee hee. Yet another (sorta) cliffhanger. I love these things. What will happen to Naruto? I dunno, actually. I need ideas. Orrin, your good, but others can help, too.

Please review. It would help me loads. Thanks.
