"Naruto." Sasuke whispered as he made his way over to the blond.

Naruto was on his side, with his back to Sasuke. His breathing was very shallow, and he was shivering from the lack of blankets. There were about four blankets thrown carelessly on the floor, and Sasuke figured that Naruto had been moving around in his sleep, which was why the blankets were all over the place. With a quiet moan of pain, Naruto flipped over and faced Sasuke, his eyes open, yet hazy.

"Sa…Sasuke?" Naruto said as he slowly sat up. He leaned against the pillows and wall, and rubbed his weary eyes. He was still tired from the sedatives.

"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled as he ran over to the blonds side. He took his hand within his.

"Sasuke, what-" Naruto wanted to ask Sasuke why he was here, because he thought that the Uchiha was mad at him, but now he seemed almost resentful.

"Shh, save your energy Naruto. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I don't hate you, and I know that nothing is your fault, Ino explained everything to me, and I read your journal. I…I love you Naruto! Just…please, don't leave me! I can't lose anyone else I care about!" Sasuke said, causing Naruto to stare down at him in shock. He had no clue what his boyfriend was talking about.

"Umm, Sasuke-teme, why would I leave you? I thought you were going to leave me…" Naruto said sadly.

"No! I won't leave you, dobe! I love you, I want to be with you for a long time. Will you stay with me, please? Don't die Naruto…"

"EH! Die, who said I was dying?" Naruto shrieked. Sure, he was sick, but it was only a cold, or something! He wouldn't let something that stupid kill him.

"Sakura." Sasuke responded, and Naruto smiled. Sakura was truly an amazing friend.

"Sasuke, I think Sakura-chan told you that so…so you'd forgive me. I'm not dying. In fact, I feel loads better thanks to Tsunade-baachan!" Naruto told him. He could only hope that Sasuke wouldn't be mad at him.

"What? She lied to me? And Ino…what the hell?" Sasuke was confused. Why had everyone tried so hard to get them back together? Especially Ino, because it seemed as though she was trying her hardest to sabotage their relationship from the beginning.

"I don't know Sasuke. Can we just forget about it? You're my best friend and my boyfriend. I love you, can we just go home?" Naruto asked. Everything was very simple, but Sasuke was making it very difficult.

[Scene Break]

"What? You lied to him? How could you lie like that, he's going to be so worried about Naruto now!" Ino yelled at the pink haired kunoichi. Sakura was shaking her head and laughing at Ino.

"That's the point Ino! He's going to apologize, and everything will work out. Now, I must go and see Tsunade-sama, I'll see you later. Oh, and Chouji?" She called out. Chouji looked up at Sakura, confused.

"Yes?"

"Good luck!" Sakura winked before dashing off towards the Hokage tower.

"What was that about? Good luck on what? What's she talking about, Chouji?" Ino asked.

"It's a long story Ino." Chouji told her.

"So? We have time." Ino said casually. Chouji sighed. He had hoped to tell her his feelings in a different way. But Ino was a very pushy girl, and he wasn't going to be able to get out of it now.

[Scene Break]

"Sasuke, let's go home. I'd rather sleep in my bed, anyway. It's a lot more comfortable than this stupid bed I'm on." Naruto said as he swung his feet to the edge of the bed. He slipped on his sandals and stood up.

"Why don't you sleep in my bed instead?" Sasuke suggested.

"Oi, teme…I'd rather not have sex while I'm sick, and plus, we've only been together for a short time, what makes you think I'm that easy?" Naruto asked.

"Tch, dobe. You're dense. I don't mean sleep with me in a sexual way. Now who's the pervert?" Sasuke smirked, causing Naruto to blush.

"O…oi! I know you were thinking the same thing, so shut up teme!" Naruto growled as the couple made their way out of the building. Sasuke took Naruto's hand as he led him to their home.

"Tch, in your dreams dobe. You call me a pervert, but you were the one who trained with Jiraiya. I think you're the perverted one between the two of us." Sasuke stated.

"Oh no teme! Don't you dare turn this around on me! You're the one who sneaks into my room at night to try and have sex!" Naruto yelled.

"No, you're wrong. I only want to hold you." Sasuke defended himself.

"HA! Then why you always grope me? Looks like you're the real pervert here, teme!"

[Scene Break]

Ino smiled as she let Chouji embrace he from behind. She watched as Sasuke and Naruto walked to their mansion together, hand and hand. They were bickering, but anyone who knew them well enough knew that it was one way of saying 'I love you'. It was sweet, and she wanted to kick herself for breaking them up in the first place. Now, they were together again, and they were happy.

"I guess my original plan backfired, but in a good way."
