Notes before we start: This chapter is from Sasuke's Point of view. Thanks for all your reviews guys! When I saw them I was like, oh great, I better write this before they eat me! x3

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, and any of the characters in this Fan fiction. I'd love to, but it's not going to happen any time soon.

Sasuke grabbed his cast after Naruto pushed him away. He didn't particularly move far, only a couple of steps backwards. He had to step back a little bit on his own when Naruto started shouting at him, and fell silent. So Naruto was depressed because he was in hospital… Because he loved him..? Sasuke still couldn't make the connection, but he didn't want to look like he had just ignored what Naruto had said, even if it would have been hard to do anyway.

"Sasuke, please say something…" Naruto spoke, and stepped towards him. Sasuke took a step away, biting his lip.
"I-I'm sorry Naruto…" Sasuke said, blushing slightly. "I can't give you a straight answer. I… I don't think I love you the way you do about me…" He said this line a good number of times when he was in the ninja academy, and still did now, but somehow he felt incredibly cold and mean when he looked at the expression on his comrade's face.

It was… The same expression he used to have as a child when they were younger. It was the same expression girls used to give him after many years of pestering him. However, if he really didn't love Naruto like those girls, why did saying 'I don't love you' make him so hollow? He was so confused, and he couldn't even stay to hear what Naruto said next.

He walked out of the house, Naruto calling his name: "Sasuke, Sasuke! I'm sorry, just listen to me Sasuke!" Sasuke felt even worse, listening to someone who must have loved him so much. But then again, didn't Sakura call out his name just like this when he left the village that one time? Why didn't he feel the same way he did now, alone and hurting?

Slamming the door in Naruto's face, Sasuke walked back home, noticing Sakura and Kakashi hand in hand, sitting on the edge of the river looking into the now starry night sky. He looked away quickly, and started walking a lot faster into his house. He shut the door, locked it and walked slowly upstairs to his bedroom.

On the window ledge was the picture Kakashi made them take when they first entered team seven, and the one that was taken at least a year before he went into the coma that seemed to make everyone different. In the picture of them as Kids, he and Naruto had the same scowl on their faces, and Sakura and Kakashi didn't really seem to mind. However, in the newest photograph, he didn't realise how much things had changed, even before he missed months of his life. Naruto had his arms round Sasuke's neck, while Kakashi was giving Sakura a piggy back ride. And these were so called adults. He smirked slightly, pushing the newer picture away from him.

He couldn't look at the stars that night. Sasuke did this every night, looking out of his bedroom window when the clouds weren't hovering. But, he often saw Naruto out of the corner of his eye, stopping and staring at him. The little things that he used to shake off really seemed to matter to him now. 'Naruto seemed more depressed than usual ever since I was in the hospital, so Sakura said. But why? I've never really remembered what can happen to you while you're in a coma…' Sasuke thought to himself, looking around to see if he could find his medical dictionary.

He sighed slowly as he remembered giving it to Tsunade for research. He'd have to go there tomorrow and look to see what happened, and how it occurred in the first place. Once that thought had passed through his mind, Naruto just popped back in again. He slammed his left fist into the wall as he pictured Naruto smiling like he always did. Sure, he called him a dunce and a dobe, but that was just because he had a so called 'reputation' to keep up.

If he didn't want the girls to like him, why did he keep this stupid reputation in tact? Maybe it was because afterwards, Naruto would just smile happily and ignore it? No, that couldn't have been the reason. He didn't love Naruto, no matter what. Naruto didn't change his mind about love, even if he really did need to resurrect his clan. Besides, how could he love Naruto and have kids with him, if he was a guy?

Sasuke really felt like killing himself right now. He was actually thinking of what would happen if he and Naruto got together! He had to snap out of it. He didn't love Naruto, and never would. He sighed slowly, regaining his 'manly-ness' and taking his clothes off to go take a shower.

As he stood underneath the warm water running over his body, Sasuke still couldn't get the thought of Naruto out of his head. He kept on replaying what he said, and his confession, over and over again. Is it a crime…? Why would he ask that? Love isn't a crime between two guys, was it? No, even he knew that. His mind really was a mess. He stepped out of the shower and pulled a blue towel around himself. He noticed that in the top right hand corner, there was the mark of his village there, which had always been there. But, there was a little heart next to it. Come to think of it, Naruto had got him this towel for his birthday last year. He threw it off and pulled on another one.

The next day, Sasuke lay in bed and winced as the sun hit his eyes. He had barely got any sleep last night, as Naruto invaded his dreams as well. He was remembering things that had long since been forgotten. Yet, he couldn't even remember how he got in the stupid coma that messed up his head in the first place. He sighed heavily and sat up, stretching and pushing the snooze button just as the Alarm started.

He stood up, getting dressed and pulling his headband on his forehead and sorting out his bangs. Sasuke grabbed his key, walked downstairs and left the house. He was going to go up to Tsunade and ask for his medical book back. It had been over half a year, so he thought that was enough time for a due back date to be completely expired. However, on his way, he bumped into someone he really didn't want to. Naruto.

"N-Naru-" Sasuke started, blushing a little once more, but it disappeared as Naruto just kept walking on.
"Gomen-nasai." Naruto's voice was deeper than usual, and more depressed. That made Sasuke feel even worse for what he said yesterday. But why should he be feeling bad? Naruto said that he loved him, and he just said that he needed some time to think. Maybe Naruto thought that he was going to say no? Sasuke kept walking up to Tsunade's office, but then bit his lip and turned around.

He was running.
Where to?
I think That would have been obvious by now.

"Naruto!"

XxxX

Tee-hee. Sasuke in the shower. Eww. But if Itachi is hotter than Sasuke… -smilesevily- Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this!
