Helllooo everyone! I'm here to give you another chapter of A Moment to Remember! ^-^ Enjoy and please review!
Chapter 8
Naruto heard a distant beeping sound. He moved his arm to scratch his belly, but his elbow wouldn't bend. What the hell? Naruto's eyes flew open to look down at his right arm which was in a white cast. What the hell?! He looked around the white room, looking at the machines that sat around him, his eyes finally falling on a figure in a chair sitting right next to him. The figure looked up and smiled at him.
"Nice to see your awake, dobe."
"Sasuke..." Naruto said his speech slurred. The blonde furrowed his eyebrows together.
"You're on pain medication so your speech is going to be a little slurred." A deep voice to his right said. "Hello Naruto. I'm Dr. Phebes."
"Hello..." Naruto said cautiously looking at the man.
He had hair that was a very light gray color which was pulled back into a ponytail. Round black rimmed glasses sat on his face and black eyes stared at the blonde. Dr. Phebes smiled at him, quickly writing down something on the clipboard he was holding.
"I'll just leave you two to talk. Don't hesitate to call for anything." The gray haired man left the room, leaving Naruto and Sasuke to sit in silence.
"The man seems suspicious." Naruto said crossing his arms only to realize that it was impossible. He huffed out his cheeks, laying his arms by his side. Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"He's a doctor. There's nothing suspicious about him."
Naruto turned his head to face the Uchiha. "You didn't see the way he was looking at me." Naruto snapped back.
He turned his head away from the Uchiha, staring at the wall. They sat in silence once again, Naruto slightly fidgeting as he lay on the hospital bed.
"Well," Naruto finally said "What the hell happened?"
"Car crash. We still don't know who or why. But oddly enough, as you can tell, you were the only one who got badly injured." Sasuke replied, placing his arm on the arm rest of the chair and leaning on it.
"What's the damage?" Naruto said. He was really getting agitated with his slurred speech.
"Broken arm and ankle. Other than that just scrapes and bruises. The doctors said you were lucky." Sasuke replied.
Naruto nodded and stared up at the ceiling. "Did they say when I could go home?"
"Tomorrow. They want to make sure everything is completely fine and that they didn't miss anything."
Naruto furrowed his eyebrows together as he processed the information. "Wait, what time is it?" Naruto said turning his head quickly to face the Uchiha.
"Oh just 10 pm" Sasuke replied casually.
The blonde sat straight up, groaning in pain as he did, and stared at Sasuke. "Wait so you've been here all this time?!" Naruto shouted.
"Yeah got a problem with it?" Sasuke said raising an eyebrow.
Naruto furrowed his eyebrows together and layed back down. Why the hell was Sasuke being so caring and nice towards him? What was going on? Naruto scratched his head.
"So um how is your car?"
Sasuke didn't respond and Naruto turned to look at him. "Totaled." Sasuke said quietly.
"I'm sorry dude...I know how much you loved that car."
"Yeah I can always get a new one..." Sasuke replied, his voice slowly fading until mumbled something under his breath.
"Huh? What did ya say?" Naruto asked tilting his head. Before Sasuke could reply, the door flew open and Iruka came running in.
"Naruto!" Iruka ran up to the bed on the opposite side of Naruto. "Are you ok? The doctors said you weren't badly injured..."
"Iruka..."
"Oh my god! Your arm...and ankle! Oh god Nar-"
"Iruka!"
The brunette stopped talking and stared at the blonde blankly. Naruto sighed and scratched his head.
"I'm fine. They are just broken, nothing too bad. There's nothing to worry about." Naruto said giving Iruka a smile.
"Ok..." Iruka said then turned his head to look at the Uchiha "Thank you Sasuke. For being her when I couldn't" He smiled at the teen and
Sasuke smiled back "Of course Iruka sensei."
Iruka ruffled Naruto's hair smiling. "How about I bring you some ramen?"
Naruto smiled wide "Hell yeah!"
"Naruto...language." Iruka said tapping his finger on the blonde's nose.
"Sorry..." Naruto said rubbing the back of his neck.
"I'll be back." Iruka said over his shoulder as he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Naruto and Sasuke sat in silence for a while, Naruto picking at his cast. "Why did you stay with me?" Naruto suddenly blurted out glancing at the Uchiha.
Sasuke fidgeted in his seat, avoiding the blue eyes. "Um..." He started finally looking at the blonde "I just wanted to make sure you were fine."
"But why? You could of gone home after you found out I didn't have life threatening injuries."
"I know...It's just that...it's complicated Naruto."
"How is it so complicated Sasuke?! Seriously! You've been acting weird lately! Offering to give me rides home? Caring about my safety?! What's going on?!" Naruto shouted breathing heavily as he stared at the blonde "I need an answer Sasuke. I don't want 'it's complicated'."
Sasuke released his gaze from Naruto, looking at his hands that were folded in his lap. Naruto glanced away from Sasuke sighing. "I'm sorry I'm being so rough. It's just been bugging me..." Naruto said quietly.
He heard the chair being moved and looked up only to met with lips on his. He stared wide eyed, confused about what was happening. Sasuke pulled away and turned around.
"I'll see you later." He said walking out of the room, leaving Naruto to sit alone in the room.
The blonde slowly brought his uncasted hand to his face, his fingers lightly touching his lips. What the hell... Iruka came in carrying two bowls of ramen.
"Hey Naruto...Oh! Where did Sasuke go?" He said as he sat down in the now empty chair.
"He had to go home..." Naruto said softly, his fingers still touching his lips. He kissed me right? Why the hell did he kiss me?
"Naruto are you ok?" Iruka said setting down the bowls of ramen, looking at the blonde with worry.
"Yeah..." Naruto said grabbing a bowl of ramen and a pair of chopsticks, beginning to slurp up the ramen.
They sat in silence eating the ramen, then Naruto looked up facing his guardian. "What does it mean if someone kisses you?" Naruto said.
Iruka put down his chopsticks and raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"Like...just randomly kisses you without any warning or anything."
"Well...it usually means that they like you."
"Oh..." Naruto turned back and continued eating his ramen.
"Naruto...did something happen?" Iruka said raising an eyebrow.
"Not really..." Naruto said picking at his food.
"Naruto...remember you can tell me anything."
"I know...it's just...it was so weird and out of character for him."
"Who?"
"Sasuke..." It finally clicked in Iruka's head and he leaned toward the blonde.
"Was it Sasuke who kissed you?" He asked placing his hand lightly on the blonde's. Naruto nodded, pulling his hand away to eat his ramen. Iruka sighed, leaning back. He knows how hard it must be for the blonde, the kid he's never been friends with all of sudden kisses him and leaves. It would make anyone freak out and question everything. Naruto slowly ate his ramen, staring blankly at the bowl. He just couldn't understand why. The Uchiha never showed any signs that he liked him...or did he? I'm going to have to talk to him...
"Hey Iruka?" Naruto said turning to look at the brunette.
"Yes Naruto?" Iruka answered as he ate his ramen.
"Where's my phone? I need to text someone..." Iruka got up and walking towards a small desk that sat in the corner of the room, picking up the cell phone and brought it over to the blonde. Naruto grabbed it and turned it on, thankful that it didn't die yet. He quickly scrolled through the contacts, finding the Uchiha's and typed up a text.
Why did you kiss me?
Satisfied with the text, he sent it and dropped the phone in his lap sighing. After sitting in silence for a while, Iruka slowly stood up, taking Naruto's bowl along with his.
"I'm going to get going Naruto. I'll pick you up at 8. That's when you're getting released." Naruto slowly nodded and gave the brunette a small wave as he left.
As soon as Iruka left, Naruto slumped against his pillows. He had no clue what to think of anything now. Sasuke...liking him? If that even possible? He didn't even think the Uchiha was capable of emotions...then again he didn't think Sasuke was cool at all. Sasuke didn't even know what Naruto put on the essay...
Naruto grinned sliding down underneath the covers. If Sasuke were to find out what he put on the essay...well things might change between the two. For the better or the worse...Naruto had no clue.
