Summary: The raven haired man lifted his arm, reaching out for his partner with a low, painful moan. He touched the cheek and noticed the blood leaking out of the three already existing scars.
His movements froze as he saw no respond.
His eyes began to overflow with liquid as he felt no heat coming off the still body of his partner.

Authors note: I really enjoyed writing this chapter. I was a little stuck for a while, trying to figure out a way to end this story(this is not the last chapter) and I finally know a fitting one.. Beware of plot-twists!
Now, on to the story…
He drifted off into a sleep. But not without dreaming..
Beep
"Sasuke"
Beep
"…"
Beep
"Wake up
A few weeks had passed and Sasuke could describe himself as the happiest man on earth. He had his partner back and just a week ago, he had asked him on a date. The went to the restaurant where they had first met and had an enjoyable evening. At the end of the evening, Sasuke had walked Naruto home and they had talked for more than thirty minutes. After their talk came a long silence, neither boys knowing what to say. But it wasn't awkward, and before Sasuke knew it, the blonde man had pulled him gently by the collar of his shirt and kissed him.
It had felt like heaven. Sasuke had closed his eyes, letting the sensation and the moment itself take over. He was happy. He knew he would be alright. He was given a second chance.
Today, Sasuke was to see him again. His blonde he felt so deeply for. A type of love he would never be able to describe. The raven man was smiling again, and it was all thanks to him, thanks to the only one to have ever made him smile.
As Sasuke was walking towards Naruto apartment, he heard a strange beeping that made him look up from the pavement he had been staring at. He looked around to find the source of the strange beeping, that had an unsettling feeling to it, but he couldn't find it. Sasuke tried to shrug it off as he walked further. Though the beeping didn't stop. It confused Sasuke and irritated him at the same time. He wanted the noise to stop and he pulled all his might into trying to drown the noise out. He grabbed his earbuds and put it in his phone. The raven searched a good number and played it. He could still hear the beeping vaguely, though, which pissed him off.
Gladly, he finally reached his partner's apartment and he pulled out his earbuds as he pushed on the doorbell. No response. Sasuke frowned and pushed it again. Again, no response. Sasuke felt his blood freeze memories of that night flashed through his mind. He began pounding on the door, shouting the man's name.
"Naruto! Open up! I know you're in there so, please! Open the door or I'll break through it!"
Still no answer.
Sasuke had enough and he decided to just break in. He stepped back a few and then stormed towards the door, his shoulder making hard contact with the wooden door. It didn't budge. A stinging sensation went through Sasuke's body, though it wasn't the pain in his shoulder that had caused it.
He tried kicking the door down and after three times, he finally managed to kick the damn thing open. He hurried inside and searched the house.
"Naruto?!"
Sasuke ran into the kitchen. No sign of the blonde man.
"Sasuke"
Sasuke froze. He looked around, he could've sworn he heard his partner say his name. But where had it come from. As he thought of it, he also noticed the beeping sound had finally stopped, though that didn't make him feel better. He had to find him.
The raven searched the house and finally found the blonde man on the floor in the bedroom. He rushed towards him and shook him, noticing his partner wasn't breathing.
"Wake up"
Sasuke tried to ignore the memories, still flashing in his mind, as he tried to stabilize the blonde man. He muttered some words of encouragement as he pushed onto Naruto's chest, trying to get his heart to work again.
"Please…"
Just as Sasuke was beginning to lose his hope, Naruto suddenly sputtered back to life. He coughed and hacked as though he had been chocked to death.
Sasuke let out a small sigh of relief before he tended to the blonde man.
"Naruto, what happened?" Sasuke wanted an explanation, to afraid he would lose him again, lose his second chance. But Naruto shook his head.
"I don't really remember" he said while still coughing a little, his eyes watery looking directly into Sasuke's onyx ones. "All I remember is that I wanted to change my shirt, since I spilled some juice on it and when I got in here, I started shaking all over. And I guess that's when I blacked out."
Naruto shivered visibly. Sasuke was the first one to get back on his feet, pulling Naruto with him.
"Come on, you should lie down for now. I'll call a doctor, yeah? Where's your phone?"
The blonde man laid down on his bed and pointed at the nightstand on the other side of the bed. Sasuke walked to the nightstand and opened the drawer, pulling out a small, orange cell phone. He dialled the number of the doctor's office and after a few moments of speaking back and forth, Sasuke managed to get the doctor to come over.
Sasuke put the phone back where it belonged and looked over at his partner. His eyes were closed again, and again, Sasuke froze. But he immediately relaxed when he saw the steady rise and fall of the man's chest. He chuckled nervously at his own panicked state and sat down at the blonde's feet.
He thought of what he would've done if he hadn't succeeded in bringing the blonde back to life.
The raven sighed and sat there for a while before the bell rung. He stood up, glancing at the blonde as if he would disappear the moment he took his eyes off of him, and then walked out of the room.
Sasuke opened the door and knew immediately that it was the doctor.
It was a woman with blonde hair, tied in two low- hanging ponytails, big chest covered by a green coat. Sasuke would've thought it could've been anyone, but the stethoscope around the woman's chest made it clear it was the doctor he had almost begged to come over.
"I'm guessing you are the one who called for me?" The woman raised an eyebrow, eyeing the raven suspiciously.
"Ah, yeah that was me. Please come in and check on him as fast as you can."
"Sure thing." The woman entered the apartment and headed towards Naruto's room. "I'm Tsunade, by the way."
Sasuke followed here, a bit confused that she already knew where to go, but he let it slip for now. He needed to know if his partner was going to be okay.
As they entered the room, they both knew the blonde man would be okay. Naruto was sitting up again with his brightest smile, rubbing the back of his head as though he was feeling awkward.
"Sorry that you had to come, old lady, but the bastard here wouldn't let this one slip."
Tsunade frowned a bit at the name calling but was visibly relieved to see that the blonde man was doing well.
The doctor did a few check- ups and Sasuke finally allowed himself to relax. He sat back into a wooden chair placed in a corner of the room, watching as the two exchanged words back and forth. They seemed to know each other well, and it made Sasuke wonder how. He had never seen the woman before so how was it that his partner talked to this woman as if he'd known her for ages. He was just about to ask them, when they both looked up.
Tsunade stood up and walked over to Sasuke, her expression unreadable.
"Thank you, for saving this little brat." They both ignored the annoyed "hey!" coming from the bed and looked at each other more intensely.
"A few weeks back, he had the same thing that had happened today to him as well. I can't find anything on him that might have caused it, but he has my number. So, if anything were to appear abnormally, please don't hesitate to call me. I'm available twenty-four-seven."
She gave Sasuke a slight smile before she turned and walked off.
"I'll show myself out" was the last thing they heard her say before she left the room.
Sasuke looked at Naruto, clearly relieved but also slightly confused. He walked over to the blonde and sat down on the bed again, next to the blonde. They looked at each other for several minutes in silence. The blonde was the first to break it.
"Sorry you had to see that but.. Thanks!" He smiled.
"Don't you dare do that to me again, idiot."
"Bastard."
Sasuke chuckled softly and he pushed Naruto back into the pillows.
"Rest for now, okay? You seem really tired."
"Yeah, I will."
Naruto closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep not too long after. The raven smiled as he watched the blonde sleep, listening blissfully to the blonde's breathing. It seemed to calm him down at least a bit, so he just sat there and stared.
That was when he noticed something that made him shiver, anxious, unsettled. The beeping had begun to rang in his head again… Right after Naruto had sputtered back to life.
Chapter three everyone! Please let me know what you think of it so far, motivate me!
