Sakura's eyes flickered open, as she was greeted by Sasuke's obsidian eyes. He came to see me. He must really love me! Cha! She closed her eyes instantly, pretending to be asleep. He might admit he loves me if I'm quiet enough! Cha! She kept her eyes closed, listening a bit longer. "I think she's still unconscious", another voice sounded. It's… It's Naruto! He sounds so much like himself! Shhh… I need him to leave so Sasuke-kun will admit his true love for me!

"I'll… be back in a few minutes, Sasuke."

"Where… are you going?"

"Uh… I have to… to go to the… washroom!"

She heard footsteps, and knew Naruto was gone. Cha! Now Sasuke-kun can admit I'm his true love! She heard a small grunt, and someone sitting across from her bed. Talk, Sasuke-kun! "Why… why can't you see that I love you", Sasuke's voice sounded. Of course I see that you love me! Oh Sasuke-kun! "You're so blind to my love… you're always looking at her as if she's the one you love", Sasuke said, his voice deep and worried. She? You mean Ino-chan? I DO NOT LOVE INO!!! CHA! She was my best friend, but then she's flinging with Shikamaru. I only love you Sasuke-kun! Cha! "I love you… I love you so much", Sasuke's voice mumbled, before drifting into silence.

I always needed time on my own

I never thought I'd need you there when I cry

And the days feel like years when I'm alone

And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

Sakura quickly pulled the blankets off herself, before leaping off the bed and hugging Sasuke tightly. Tears drifted down her face, as she kept her arms wrapped around his neck. "Oh Sasuke-kun, I love you too", she cried. She was so happy, nothing could spoil her mood.

"… bad timing, eh?"

Naruto stood at the door, his hair completely messed up, and his face was of pure coldness. Sasuke's eyes widened, as he tried to shove Sakura away. "Oh, Sasuke-kun", Sakura squealed, and tightly hugging him. Naruto's eyes turned distant, cold. To think… to think I thought they could lie off for even… for even a few minutes. Wh-while I'm here… they start doing that? He turned around; dropping the flowers he was carrying on the ground.

Sasuke growled, deeply, before kicking Sakura away. "I didn't mean that I loved you", he growled! Sakura's emerald eyes widened. "Didn't you hear me properly? It should be obvious the person I love likes a girl", Sasuke shouted, his hands fisting, "You, he fucking admires you like there's no tomorrow! I could never, ever love you"! "Y-you love… a-a male", Sakura gasped. It's enough… I'm going to tell her the truth. I'm not going to take her admiration anymore… It's time for the truth to come out. "Yes, I'm gay! I love men, I fucking dream about men! And the only man I've ever dreamt about", he shouted, before turning awfully soft, "Is our teammate".

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missing you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missing too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear to always get me through the day

I miss you

Sakura stared at Sasuke, her eyes really wide in shock. Her world had stopped moving, her breath almost stopping. N-no… th-this can't be… h-he… h-he can't. "If you… if you even think of hurting him, I will not hesitate to beat the living shit out of you", Sasuke spoke, his voice monotone, "I may have once acted cold near him… but he still helped me, he still made me stay here, and in the end… that was worth more then your useless whining". "That was worth more then your useless whining."

She bursted into tears. "I-I can be like him too! I'll act rude to you, I'll grin stupidly, I'll even be so courageous you won't believe it", she shouted! "You don't get it! Naruto is Naruto! No one else can be him", Sasuke growled, "No one! Not even the perfect impersonator! Naruto's… Naruto's the most special person I've ever laid my eyes on"! "Naruto's the most special person I've ever laid my eyes on!"

"F-fine… b-but watch… w-watch out. Y-your mine once he breaks… y-you'll always b-be my Sa-Sasuke-kun… tee hee… hee… Haha!"

I've never felt this way before

Everything that I do reminds me of you

And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor

And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do

She bursted into a mad fit of laughter, clutching her stomach in absolute pain. The tears streamed down her face like some form of a curse, as her emerald eyes gleamed with spirit. Sasuke stepped back, taking a deep breath. She's finally broken… she's laughing like a maniac. Suddenly, the door to the room opened, Naruto and a doctor walking in. Naruto's eyes widened at the scene. A doctor ran to Sakura, quickly checking the laughing girl.

Sasuke stood, staring at Sakura. I don't get it… we're… we're in a love triangle. I love him, he loves her, and she loves me. Why… why can't God just give me him? I'm being selfish… but I just want this one thing, more than Itachi's death. I want him.

"Uchiha-san, Uzumaki-san? Haruno-san has… has gone insane. Her mind was overrun with too many emotions."

Sasuke's head jerked to look at Naruto, expecting pure agony and sorrow. Instead, he received an indifferent, expressionless face. "Uzumaki-san", the doctor repeated? Still, nothing happened to Naruto. Oh… no. He isn't insane too, is he? No… no, you can't do this to me! Naruto, fight it off! Please be okay! I don't want to lose you! Please… don't be hurt by Sakura's flaw!

"Sasuke… I wanna talk to you… even if it is for a second."

Naruto turned, and walked outside, Sasuke blinked, and following after.

When you walk away I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missing you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missing too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear to always get me through the day

I miss you

Sasuke and Naruto stood outside the hospital, Naruto staring at Sasuke emptily. Sasuke was worried, very worried. If he's taken from me… I swear I will end my own life. Give Naruto back to me… please, please, please. He was begging, begging for Naruto to not be broken. I'll do anything… I just want him to be himself.

"I don't love her."

Sasuke was frozen in thought, staring at Naruto in something similar to shock. "The way you were staring at me, expecting me to feel shock for your girlfriend's state, I don't love her", Naruto spoke, pausing momentarily, "I got over her a while ago… I only realized that she was like a friend… she just whined too much. I didn't love her". I did it… I told him that I don't love Sakura. Now he can stop misunderstanding me. I won't come in their way anymore.

"Then it's safe to say that I don't love her either. I love someone else."

We were made for each other, out here forever

I know we were

And all I ever wanted was for you to know

Everything I do I give my heart and soul

I can only breath I need to feel you here with me

Naruto was now horror struck, before he laughed lightly. "The great Sasuke Uchiha just admitted to loving someone! The earth just froze over", he said, laughing again. I know… I love you Naruto. I love you because of the way you act. Your smiles, your laugh, your courage, and your everything. I want all if it to myself, forever and ever. "Seriously… whoever this person is, they'll be real lucky", Naruto said, turning away from Sasuke, "Real lucky that they got you". In moments, Naruto was gone.

Sasuke stared, before shaking his head. No… whoever gets you, they're real lucky.

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missing you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missing too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear to always get me through the day

I miss you.
