Take Me Away
"You asked me why I care so much. Sasuke, I care so much because…I love you."
Sasuke's eyes snapped open wide and he looked straight into those bright blue eyes. Sincerity and honesty pasted all over his face. "What?" Sasuke forced out the word from his dry mouth.
He pulled back and away from him as if he'd just gotten burned.
Blue eyes looked up onto a tear stained face meeting the onyx gaze. "I love you."
Sasuke's eyes were panicked. He was panicked. "I don't…"
"I don't mean to make things worse…"
"You just did."
Naruto blinked.
"Naruto I…" He swallowed the lump in his throat. "Go back to class."
"Sasuke!" Naruto stopped him placing a hand on both of his. "Sasuke, I need to know. You have to tell me yes or no. Do you love me back?"
"I can't…"
"Forget Itachi for a moment. Do you, or don't you?"
Naruto knew. He always knew. Sasuke closed his eyes calming the breathing he hadn't noticed accelerate. His heart was beating so hard against his chest he could feel it. His head hurt. This was the worst time possible for something like this to come up.
"I don't…" Sasuke began to speak but stopped. He couldn't get himself to say anymore and everything was getting dark. Within moments he was unconsious.
-XxX-
Sasuke felt himself breathing. He felt the blankets around him. He could hear the sounds of birds. But he couldn't bring himself to wake up just yet. He felt something start turning around in circles that felt quite a lot like his stomach. His headache was back again then and he felt like he was going to throw up. This realization left him pulling himself up into an upright position.
He opened his mouth and began breathing heavily in an attempt to keep himself from throwing up. After he felt his stomach settle a little he looked around himself. He was in an unfamiliar bedroom. He glanced over at the nightstand that held an alarm clock informing him of the time. School was out, but he couldn't figure out why he was here or even where he was.
He looked around again and finally he caught sight of something that made it very clear where he was. An orange and black jacket sat on the back of a chair at the messy desk in the messy room. And he knew whose jacket that was if nothing else.
-XxX-
"Naruto?" Kushina asked looking at her son. He was sitting at the table a cup of tea that had gone cold sitting before him.
He looked up and smiled at her. "Hey Mom." He greeted.
She set her purse down on the counter and sat next to him at the table. "What are you doing home so early? It's usually another twenty minutes before you get home."
He sighed and looked at the liquid in his cup.
"Naruto?" She called again softly.
Someone entered the kitchen and she turned to see Minato standing there crossing his arms lightly.
"Hello, Kushina. I'm sorry about this but Naruto requested that I get him home." He informed her.
"You check on him?" Naruto asked.
Minato nodded at his son. "Yes, he was still asleep a moment ago."
Naruto stood up. "I'm gonna check on him again."
Kushina watched her son leave the room before turning her gaze on Minato waiting for an explanation.
He sighed and walked over to her taking a seat. "One of Naruto's friends collapsed today during homeroom. He absolutely refused to let the nurse call his family and it would seem he was willing to go violent if need be. After a bit of struggle I just got someone to cover for me for the rest of the day and took both Naruto and that boy here."
"I wander what got Naruto so riled up?" She asked quietly. "He isn't normally that anxious."
"It looked like he was getting into a fight with him before he passed out."
She sighed and closed her eyes. "Do you know what's wrong with the boy?"
"The nurse said it was like he hadn't slept in awhile. He also seemed to be running a fever. She did a further examination and it looked like he'd gotta beat up or something she told Naruto the full detail but he didn't tell me much more then that. He's been so worried. I guess restless would be the best word for it. He's been checking on him every so often."
Kushina nodded in understanding. After a moment she opened her eyes sighing again and getting up from her seat. "Well then, help me get supper started."
-XxX-
Naruto knocked on the door before entering. Sasuke's onyx eyes immediately lifted from the orange jacket he was staring at to the intruder at the door. Although technically he was the intruder here. He felt his cheeks getting warm as his brain processed the last moments before his blackout and he looked away from him.
"You broke your promise." Naruto stated. "You should've left."
Sasuke shook his head a little not wanted to agitate the already angry headache. "It's not worse. That was normal."
"Sasuke, he…" Naruto began but stopped himself from speaking so loudly. "He raped you. That isn't normal."
"No." He agreed. "But that has never stopped him before."
Naruto's eyes widened a little. He'd missed every one of these signs. He was such an idiot.
Sasuke forced himself out of the bed and stood on his shaky legs keeping them in control enough to move without falling. "I have to get home." He added walking towards the door to the bedroom.
"Don't go." Naruto said voice quiet.
Sasuke looked at him reluctantly; his bright blue eyes were brighter then usual and begging.
"Forget everything that happened earlier today. Forget I said anything if you can't feel the same that's okay, but please don't go back to him."
"I've got no where else to go." Sasuke replied.
"Stay here." He offered.
He closed his eyes his back turned to Naruto. "Naruto I'm sorry, but please don't talk to me anymore."
The blonde opened his mouth to speak but closed it again soon after.
"Things are already bad enough. I don't want to make them worse."
Sasuke walked out of the bedroom and out through the front door quickly ignoring the two people in the kitchen watching him and the third that followed him to the door.
"Sasuke!" He called and something made him stop. "My offer still stands. No matter what you say or do, you can still come back here."
Sasuke turned back to look at him. "Dobe."
Naruto looked him in the eye.
"I love you too."
The words hit Naruto and the blonde faked a smile at him before he walked away. He walked back into the house the moment Sasuke was gone from his sight and shut the door. He glanced into the kitchen at the two eavesdropping and sighed at them. "Any parental advice?" He asked.
"Can't say I've ever been in your position sweetie." Kushina replied.
He looked at his Father.
Minato just shook his head. "Sorry."
The young blonde sighed again. "I'll figure it out. I've got a month after all."
I wish that it would just go away
What would you do?
You do if you knew?
What would you do?
All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what is never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable come and take me away
Take Me Away by: Avril Lavigne
NearKunn: Hey there! So I think I managed to keep this one on the serious side? What do you think?
Sasuke: I think you're an idiot! Why the hell are you making me go back?
NearKunn: Cause you don't want Naruto to get hurt you see…
Sasuke: Screw Naruto, I would never do that!
Naruto: Does this count as a cliff hanger?
Sakura: Did you say "cliff hanger?" *evil glint in eyes*
NearKunn: So sorry about it being so short and all my chaps usually average about five or six pages, but this one was cut short so that I could make the next few chapters longer. Epicness coming up so don't worry. Also I'm listening to Lollipop Luxury by: Jeffree Star. Yes that tad bit of info is random and has nothing to do with anything, but it's still amazing shit.
Sasuke: *face palm*
Itachi: lol
Sasuke: O.O
Naruto: *sigh*
Kakashi: Alright everyone, reviews would be kindly accepted.
Anko: Are you kidding reviews will be fucking loved!
Sasuke: You fail.
Itachi: *gags Sasuke and ties him up in a corner* Ahem, remember children… *thinks of himself as older then everyone because he's better* flame us and we flame you. NearKunn-sensei knows some rather nasty words and is not afraid to use them if you piss her off.
NearKunn: *smiles like a perfect angle* I have no idea what he's talking about.
Sasuke: *chokes on gag laughing*
