Alternate Ending 2: Life
The first thing Uchiha Sasuke heard when he woke up was an annoying beeping. He decided to analyze the situation before opening his eyes. Who knows where he was and what sort of enemy ninja might spill important information in front of the "unconscious" body of the Sharingan user? Where was he? The beeping continued and as bits and pieces of his last memories came back to him, he realized that the itchy covers and clothes were hospital issued and it was a heart monitor that continued to make that incessant noise…
'Naruto!' Sasuke's eyes shot wide as the memory came back. Naruto in critical condition, unlikely to survive… Blond. Why was there a blond something in front of his eyes? That was when Sasuke heard a sound that had been there all along but his mind had just refused to register. Someone was crying over him. 'Huh? Who would cry over me? The only blond I know who would do that would be Na… No, don't think about him.'
At the whispered, "Sasuke," his mind also finally noted the hand clutching his in a bone crunching desperate grip. The voice and the blond hair caused something to click in the invalid's brain. Disbelief and hope colored his response.
"Naruto?" The golden head raised, and he stared into blue eyes dull from too much crying.
"Sasuke?" Suddenly arms gingerly wrapped around him, cradling his lover's weak body. "Why? Why did you try to kill yourself Sasuke? You weren't supposed to die!"
"Because, Dobe, I wouldn't be able to live without my sunshine." Confusion read adorably over Naruto's face.
"Sunshine?" Sasuke sighed at his love's obliviousness.
"You, Dobe."
"Hey! Don't call me that, Sasuke bas— oh…"
"…."
"Really, Sasuke?"
"Really, Dobe."
Owari 2
How did they survive? Simple! Kyuubi refused to let Naruto (and therefore himself) die, and Sasuke was found and saved by Kakashi before he went past the point of no return.
