Your guardian angel
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm stronger I've figured out
How this world turns cold and breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cause I'm here for you
Please don't walk away,
Please tell me you'll stay, stay
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be ok
Though my skies are turning grey

Chapter III
As soon as I opened my eyes I shouted "NARUTO!"
I sat fast enough to make my head dizzy, I looked around, nothing. He said he would be by my side, he promised, but he wasn't there. I thought loud "Shit, so it was really just a dream".
I expected to be all wrapped in bandages and couldn't move, but I only had an oxygen mask and everything you can imagine connected to my body making me alive. I couldn't understand.
Anyway, that didn't matter; I took all that stuff out of me and got up out of bed. I was in Konoha hospital, I had that desperate feeling in my chest screaming Naruto over and over and it hurt so much to know he was dead. I had gone to the bathroom to wash my face.
I looked at my reflex on the mirror and saw the man I hated the most... myself.
I breathed out to think. I moved my fingers to my lips and closed my eyes; I remembered the warmth of that kiss, the metallic taste of blood and the nothingness after that.
"Fuck!" I felt so powerless, so incapable, and so miserable.
A knock on the door. I didn't want to see anyone. I lied down on bed and stared at the white wall in front of me. I heard the door opening and closing. I closed my eyes. Someone sat next to my body.
"Sasuke..."
My body paralyzed to that voice, my eyes opened but I couldn't move and again "Sasuke?".
My soul came back to my body and quickly, as in one second, I had that person under me in bed. I couldn't believe my eyes, I had to touch his face, his body all over again and again until I convinced myself it was real "Naruto" he smiled at me.
I hugged him tight repeating 'Naruto' as he kindly ran his fingers through my hair. "Hey, Sasuke, you can stop already, I'm here, really."
I looked at him intensely for a few minutes, he blushed and looked away "What?" my voice was low and husky "Naruto, look at me" and so did he.
Our gazes locked up to one another "Naruto... I love you" he first was confused and shocked but then he leaned me closer and kissed me, a fast kiss but enough to make me warm inside.
"Sasuke, I want you to come with me somewhere"
I nodded "Anywhere". I saw myself being drawn by the blonde.
"Close your eyes" we were holding hands, thinking now of the scene it was probably pathetic, but at that moment I couldn't care less. I had to hold the hand that never gave up on me.
"Watch the stairs" we were almost running and I had an idea where he was heading me to.
"Ok, Sasuke, you can open your eyes"
I was expecting something good but nothing like that good. We were on the rooftops, pretty ironic huh. The sun was setting and then Naruto, he looked like the sun, smiling, my heart pounded and my mouth was a bit opened to the vision, simply breathtaking.
"What? You didn't like it?"
I moved closer to him quietly, put his arms around my neck and mine around his waist to make him understand what I wanted. We looked at each other intensely.
We kissed.
It was more of our first official kiss, the others really didn't count.
Sasuke's tongue was hot and we kissed gently and passionately. It was over. Everything was alright now. I couldn't finally enjoy his company. I was on verge of tears when we pulled out not letting go of each other's arms.
"I missed you" my tears falling and so I saw something new, he was crying as well, he held me tightly "I missed you too"
After a while
The two young men were sat next to each other by the wall.
"Sasuke, you know it's been one year we went in coma, ne?"
"What?"
"Exactly, so we lost a whole year... but since we're here and now...it doesn't matter."
"Yeah, you are all that matter to me now"
Naruto blushed to the sudden confession "What happened to you? You're so out of character!"
Sasuke laughed "I guess so. I think it's due to the coma and the war thing. Soon will I be myself again"
"Oh, I'd appreciate that, your lovely self is even scarier that your normal bastard self"
"Thanks, I guess"
Nothing could ruin the raven's good mood.
They kept chatting for a while and it was already dark when the tiredness hit them.
"Naruto, I need to sleep" he yawned, the smaller agreed.
They slept there, holding each other against the cold of the night. They felt secure and happy in their dreams and both would think 'Please, don't make it be another dream'.
The next day
Kakashi and Sakura were running around the hospital looking for the boy who had disappeared without anyone notice.
In the beginning, they kept ANBU all over the hospital for, as soon as Sasuke woke up, they'd arrest him, but the 'as soon as' was getting too long.
After six months the ANBU had disappeared sure the boys would never wake up after so long. Even so, Kakashi and Yamato were kept around just in case, and Sakura would still visit them every day.
10 months passed and nothing, Tsunade-sama had no idea why they were still in coma, there was nothing wrong with them and so, she decided to take all guards off, there was no need to, she had few hope they would wake up anytime soon. Sakura now was visiting them once a week.
After a whole year, they were almost forgotten, only few nurses still went there but just to check the machines.
That morning, Sakura went there for her weekly visit, luckily she had found Kakashi on her way and asked him to accompany her.
"Sensei, where could they have gone? Did they run away?"
"I don't know, but I don't think Naruto would"
Sakura didn't have good memories of when those two were in hospital, the epic scene of them almost killing each other for the first time appeared in her head... and she felt stupid for not having thought this earlier. "Of course! The rooftops!"
She ran faster, afraid to see the same scene but too late, there was no noise and she feared to see what she saw one year ago. She sighed in relief finding them only sleeping next to each other, she smiled at them.
She sure was jealous of Naruto, but after seeing Sasuke kissing her friend she knew she had no chance, but even so, she thought the blonde deserved it, he was the only one who didn't give up, never.
Kakashi was right after her, also relieved by the scene, but worried about them as well. "It's better wake them up, the sooner their future is decided, the better".
Sakura's smile dropped out of her face, she was worried now "Sensei, don't you think it's better to let them enjoy their time together? I'm afraid this can be the last".
Too late for that since those two were waking up.
It had been over 10 years since the last time I slept so well, I had no worries. I opened my eyes a bit afraid of waking up alone, but I smiled to the face of a sleeping one.
I whispered next to his ear "Hey, Naruto...wake up."
He turned to the other side "Hm...more five minutes". I embraced him from behind kissing his neck "Hm... stop that teme, let me sleep"
I smirked "Hm, no, wake up".
Naruto wasn't a morning person "Make me" and went back to sleep.
"Okay" I didn't want to wake him up in a bad mood, but I wanted him awake right that moment and so had I have the great idea of tickling him.
He woke up fast but I didn't stop, it was fun watching him mad and still laughing
"Okay, okay, I'm awake!"
I smiled "Good morning"
He touched my locks "Morning".
I was still deciding on what to do next when his surprised face said "Oh!". I blinked "What?" he looked away blushing and pointed behind me. I looked at the direction to see Kakashi reading his book and Sakura with a hand on her hip "Are you guys done already?" I blushed to the comment thinking how embarrassing the scene was.
Quickly we were up.
Sakura jumped on us right after, hugging both of us desperately "I'm so glad you're awake. I missed you two so much!"
She was sobbing, me and Naruto hugged her back at the same time and I said "Yeah, I'm happy too - Thanks Sakura"
She let go of us, her face mixing fear and confusion "What?", so Naruto explained "This guy here is out of character, so enjoy it while you can".
She sighed, Kakashi beside us three "Hey boys, glad to see you... getting along", he meant that with all malice of his voice. I saw Naruto bright red "Ahn, yeah... I guess so...we're... we are getting along."
I teased him "Only getting along, Naruto?" he went even redder "Ahn...I...we..." I smirked, Kakashi and Sakura were laughing, Naruto's skin color went back to normal and he smiled.
The pervert old man stopped laughing and teased him even more "So, you're..." . Naruto looked away embarrassed, he mumbled something nobody heard and I got curious.
"What are you saying?"
He repeated loud "We...we are...we're in love!"
Awkward silence moment.
Nobody expected him to indeed say it, I blushed hard and looked at the floor, Sakura and Kakashi were laughing pretty hard as me and the number one unpredictable ninja were ridiculously blushing.
I didn't really regret saying that but hell was I embarrassed. Suddenly Sakura and Kakashi-sensei got quiet and serious, I had a bad feeling about it.
"Bad things will happen right?" they nodded sadly
"Naruto, we still don't know, but have faith everything will be alright" Sakura tried to convince herself.
"Yeah, you're right, the worst is long gone now" I smiled and looked at my raven, yeah my raven, he sure was afraid, as much as I was.
"Are you ready?" he smiled back "No, but nothing can be done about it."
Afterfew hours
We were all standing in Baa-chan's office; she looked tired but relieved to see us. And she didn't take long to start "Well, I don't want it to take long; I have a lot to do, so please, I want all of you out except for Uchiha of course".
Sakura and Kakashi-sensei left, I did not "Naruto, out! Now!". I tried to argue "But-"
"Just go, dobe" Sasuke said it and looked at me.
"Are you sure?" he nodded seriously and I left.
I waited for hours before he came out of the office with a serious expression. He passed through me coldly and fast was gone, it hurt inside. Baa-chan called me to enter the office. I bursted "What - What did you do?"
"Calm down, brat, I did nothing"
"Nothing? What the hell does it mean?"
She sighed "Naruto! Shut up and listen!"
I got quiet "I did everything I could this last year to free Sasuke from some kind of punishment, but..."
I was nervous "But what Baa-chan?"
She looked at me "Unfortunately I couldn't, but before you freak out, listen okay?"
I nodded
"It was hard, the council decided Sasuke couldn't take anymore missions, he would only go out of Konoha under strict conditions and..."
I was kind of tense "And what?"
She smiled "...and you'll be responsible for him. Being the one able to stop him, you'll have to be with him permanently"
I was shocked, was I happy or not?
"Oh, and Naruto, only a thing, when you're on a mission, we'll have to lock him in a special room"
"But that's not fair, he won't do anything, believe me!"
"I know, but that's the best I could do. Sasuke agreed, so stop being a brat about it, you know it could have been really worse. Now, go!"
I nodded and retired myself out of there. I found Sasuke waiting beside the door.
He came closer, hugged me, smelled me, touched me.
We were relieved and happy.
"So I guess you're locked to me, but it could have been worse."
"You're kidding, it couldn't have been better! Naruto, we're going to li-" he bit his tongue "Come, I need to show you a thing"
And here we are, third chapter and I don't have much to say.
