I'll Give You My Heart
Chapter 2
"Mm," Naruto moaned in pleasure. "Ah, Sasuke. Ah! So good!"
"Hn, you like that?"
"Uh, yeah!" Sasuke moved his hands on Naruto's tanned body. "Ah, there!" The moans increased as Sasuke turned the blond into a plea-ing mass of joy.
"Naruto! Sasuke! What in the world-" Iruka began as he ran into the room, and then froze when he spotted the two boys on the bed. "…are you two doing?" Kakashi stood beside him and chuckled. They had stormed in on Sasuke massaging Naruto! "Uh…"
"He said hi back hurt, so I was trying to fix it," Sasuke explained as he climbed off the embarrassed and disappointed blond.
"What did you think we were doing?" Naruto asked once he was comfortably sitting beside Sasuke on the bed.
"Well, um, you see…uh…we thought…uh…" Iruka, completely flustered, couldn't come up with an innocent explanation. He was about to say he thought they were fighting when Kakashi blurted out the truth as short and blunt as possible.
"Sex," he said flatly. Sasuke stared, trying not to blush, Iruka freaked out and started yelling at Kakashi mother-hen style, and Naruto (beat red) just wanted to leave. He went to stand, but Sasuke stopped him.
"Where are you going?" Sasuke asked him.
"Anywhere. The roof," he answered.
"I'll go with." The two boys left the crazy adults in the room and went up to the roof. It has been one week since they met, and since then the two have been inseparable, never one without the other, but their dream life would soon end.
The two lay on the roof, Naruto lying in Sasuke's protective arms, as they spoke softly.
"Are you alright, dobe?" Sasuke asks, trying to sound as if he didn't care.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He didn't want to admit why the thought of them having sex affected him like this. The truth is, he wants to, but knows that'll just make it hurt more in the end. Sasuke, not further questioning him, began stroking Naruto's soft blond hair. "So, Sasuke, your surgery's tomorrow."
"Yep."
"Are you ready for it?"
"Yeah." There was a pause, during which Sasuke tightened his hold on the blond. "Naruto, can I tell you something?"
"Of course."
"You better not laugh."
"That depends on whether or not it's funny." A quick glare made Naruto promise.
"…I'm scared…"
"Sasuke…"
"It's stupid, yeah, but I am. So many of these surgeries have failed, and I don't want to die."
"You won't, Sasuke, don't worry."
"But in case I do, I want to tell you something. Naruto, I…I lo-"
"Don't say it!" Sasuke stopped and looked at Naruto and at the tears welled up in the corners of his sky blue eyes. "Please, I can't hear that right now."
"But,"
"Please Sasuke."
"Alright," he said after a minute.
"Don't get me wrong, Sasuke. I…I feel the same way. I just can't handle that right now." Naruto moved closer to Sasuke and looked into his eyes intently.
"Naruto…" He sat up and pulled the blond into him, kissing him as hard and deeply as possible, both savoring every second. This was goodbye. They held it as long as they could, until their lungs stung from the lack of air. They parted, gasping for air.
"Ah…Sa…Sasuke," Naruto panted.
"Y…yeah?"
"That…ah…was amazing."
"Nh." Sasuke rolled onto his side from his back and pulled the blond into his arms, holding him as tightly as possible. Naruto latched onto the raven and wished for him to ever let go.
A while later, once night had fallen, the two went back inside, ate dinner, and went to bed. When Naruto was drifting into sleep, he began whispering to Sasuke.
"Sasuke?"
"Yeah?"
"I'll give you my heart."
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked, but Naruto was already fast asleep. He held him close and whispered into the blonde's ear, "I love you." He never noticed the tear trickle down Naruto's tanned cheek.
The next morning, Sasuke woke to an empty bed. A female nurse walked in.
"Oh good, you're awake. Time for surgery," she said.
"Where's Naruto?"
"Why, he's already down there."
"What do you mean?"
"He's being prepared for surgery, too."
"Surgery! What happened?" Sasuke jumped out of bed and was ready to go run and find him.
"He's giving you his heart. Didn't you know that?" she said, surprised he didn't know. "Sasuke, Naruto's your donor."
"W-What?"
"They should be injecting the fluid in him now," the nurse said, but Sasuke didn't hear her; he was already long gone. Dashing around corridors and reading all signs, Sasuke found the operation room and Naruto, unconscious on the table inside.
"STOP!" he screamed as he burst into the room. He shoved past the doctors and grabbed both Naruto and a scalpel, and then back into a corner, the knife extended as a threat. "Is he…is he dead?"
"N-No, just unconscious," one of the doctors said. Sasuke nodded.
"Alright, now, no one come near us." He picked up Naruto again and carried him up to the roof. "They won't hurt you, Naruto. I'm getting you out of here, past the parking lot, to a…a park, and no one will ever hurt you." He gently cradled the blond and kept talking, waiting for him to wake up. "Why…why didn't you tell me? Please wake up! Naruto, please, I love you. Wake up, wake up!" He kept pleading until finally the blond stirred into consciousness. "Naruto!"
"Sa…Sasuke? Is…is this heaven?" Naruto asked, still droopy eyed and sleepy.
"No, you're alive. You're alive," he repeated, finally relaxing a little as he tightened his hold on Naruto.
"How? I…I was supposed to die to let you live! Sasuke! You're heart! It's0"
"It's fine." Naruto calmed down, both by Sasuke's words and all the drugs in his system. "I'm getting you out of here, and I'm going to protect you.
"But Sasuke,"
"No 'buts'."
"Hold it!" A security guard cried as he and many others stormed onto the roof. "Don't move!"
"Leave us alone!" Sasuke yelled,
"Sasuke, what are you dong?" his father yelled.
"I…I don't want him to die!"
"But Sasuke, without the transplant-"
"I know and I don't care! He's the only friend I've ever had and I won't let you hurt him!"
"Sasuke-"
"NO!" Sasuke's black eyes were filled with rage as he held his precious blond, who looked up at him with watery eyes of love.
"Sasuke," Naruto softly called, bringing his attention back to him, "please."
"Naruto." He doesn't know what to say.
"I want you to live, Sasuke. I told you last night that I'd give you my heart.
"I thought you meant…" he trailed off, not sure what he thought he'd meant, Naruto, very slowly and with help from Sasuke, sat up in the raven's lap and whispered in his ear.
"I mean that, too." Sasuke blushed a little, but for the first time, he smiled.
"Can I say it?" he asked timidly. Naruto nodded, beaming and blushing at the same time. "I…I love you."
"I love you, too."
"Tell them," a voice said a little louder than intended, causing the boys to snap out of their moment.
"Tell us what?" Sasuke demanded.
"Uh…um…" the quivering man said before a blonde woman stepped forward from the crowd.
"He wants you to know you're 100 compatable," she said as bluntly as Kakashi would have. Naruto's face went bright red and Sasuke;s mouth dropped open. "Not like that. Your bodies, or rather everything in them,are completely interchangeable."
"Meaning…" Kakashi asked.
"Meaning, even though Sasuke's heart doesn't work for him, it should work perfectly with Naruto, and Naruto's heart with Sasuke."
"How's that even possible?" Sasuke's father asked.
"No clue, but it is." Sweatdrop moment. "So, you two up for it?" Sasuke and Naruto looked at one another and began talking.
"Let's try it," Naruto said.
"But what if it doesn't work?"
"Then it doesn't work."
"Naruto, I'm not going to let you die."
"Well, I won't let you die either."
"Look, I'll find another donor."
"Sasuke, you're running out of time, and besides, where are you going to find another heart?"
"I…I don't know, but I don't want to lose you!"
"You won't, Sasuke, you won't." They sat in silence for a few minutes before Sasuke nodded his ehad and turned back to the blonde woman.
"We'll do it."
"Alright. Prepare them for surgery!" They were brought back down into the operation room, put on the tables, and looked at one another.
"Sasuke?" Naruto called.
"Yeah?"
"I'm scared."
"Me too, but don't worry, I'm right here with you."
"Promise me you'll get me out of here, past the parking lot."
"I promise."
Several days later, two boys were seen walking towards the end of the hospital's parking lot, holding hands. They stopped right where the stone meets the grass.
"Ready?" Sasuke asked the boy he was holding hands with. Naruto, the boy, turned and smiled.
"Yeah," he leaned in and kissed Sasuke on the cheek, "I'm ready."
Tightening his grip on the sun-kissed hand, Sasuke led Naruto past the parking lot and to the beginning of the rest of their lives.
I'll give you my heart…
