Ch. 4
"Sakura-Chan! I thought you went to that party?" Naruto's hair was tossed from sleep, his wrappings a bright contrast to his sun kissed skin. She gave him a playful smile, and soaked up seeing him here.
He was healing.
He was alive.
Naruto spotted the covered plates in her hands and sniffed curiously. "I got bored without you there." She teased. "And I brought some non hospital approved snacks."
His answering smile eased the constant ache in her heart a little, and she settled in the chair next to his bed and felt at home.
late to say it now, but there will be romance in this story. I wont tag it until it shows up though. Keep it all a surprise haha
