The male nin walked back into the hospital room and Naruto settled a set of clothing on the bed for Sasuke, then all of them walked out to let him change. The Raven changed quickly, maneuvering his body so he could dress while sitting on the bed, his left ankle casted. He grabbed his crutches when he was finished and pulled on one sandal so he could move to the door. Naruto opened the door for him, a smile on his face. The others had gone, leaving the two on their own.
Naruto looked at Sasuke sadly and then looked down, saying, "She's not gonna hurt you again. Everyone is gonna make sure she doesn't." Sasuke watched him and nodded. His face a stoic mask, but his heart was fluttering due to how much it seemed that every one cared about him.
"C'mon, Dobe, we should go before it gets too late."
Naruto grinned and nodded, walking slowly with Sasuke down to the lobby to check out, and then toward the small apartment that was occupied by the Fox.
Sasuke was out of breath and tired by the time they got to the apartment. He wanted nothing more then a shower and then to go to sleep. Naruto was happy to oblige. After the bath, Naruto was sitting on the front room, which was kind of like a dining room with a couch in it, because the apartment was that small. He had a pillow sitting on the couch, with a blanket and two bowls of ramen steaming on the table.
Wow, the Dobe was really trying his hardest to take care of Sasuke.
Naruto looked up from the manga he was reading when he heard Sasuke pull out a chair and sit at the table. The blond jumped up off the couch so that he could join him.
"You're gonna sleep in my room, I picked it up while you were in the bath so you wouldn't trip over anything," he said as he picked up his chopsticks. Sasuke looked at him across the table and was surprised by the words.
"Thanks," the Raven said, before he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.
Naruto glanced up at the Raven as he ate every now and then. The male ate with controlled wildness. His movements were manner-full and careful, but quick and agitated, as if he had to eat fast, but cleanly, or he might not get his food anymore. The blonde fox frowned inwardly at this and kept eating, averting his eyes only seconds before Sasuke glanced at him in turn. The battered male finished his food as fast at Naruto - which showed you just how fast he was eating. Sasuke drank all the broth from the bowl and licked his lips. Naruto smiled and offered to make him another bowl, grinning as Sasuke nodded shyly. Naruto got up and made Sasuke two more bowls before the man told him that he was full.
They were sitting on the couch now, Naruto yelling and arguing about this and that as Sasuke spoke in a calm tone. They communicated like they did as kids, and it always made them feel better knowing that there was something that the each of them could rely on - bantering with the other.
"But that jutsu got me everywhere!" Screamed the blonde.
"It's vulgar and crude. You were only able to use it on the perverts of our village - it's a waste of chakra," Sasuke countered, their topic at the moment was the Sexy no Jutsu that Naruto used to use to get on with things when they had just graduated from the Academy.
They argued different points on the matter until Naruto threw himself off the couch and stood right in front of Sasuke.
"Maybe you'll like it better if you see it in action!" called the Fox.
He moved his hands into the proper positions and called out the jutsu. Smoke filled the room and Sasuke looked up at him with a bored mannerism. The inky-haired man watched all the smoke clear and looked Naruto up and down, still bored.
Females did not attract Sasuke, not anymore, at least.
Naruto transformed back and began raving again. Sasuke only heard some of it, though, as he was now preoccupied with the spooky memories of how Sakura stripped them both naked and teased his body until it was spent. Rare as these encounters were, it was something that Sakura prized - that she was able to make his body happy. She didn't care that he felt used and disgusting when she was done with him. Sasuke shuddered hard and physically shook the images from his mind.
Naruto noticed this and frowned. "What's the matter, Sasuke?"
Sasuke looked up at him and tears welled in his eyes. Naruto sat back on the couch and wrapped the man in his arms. It was a sort of thing that one might never see between these two, because it seemed that they hated each other so, but that wasn't true. Naruto held the Raven tightly to his chest as he cried. The Uchiha proceeded to tell him all about the horrific things that Sakura had done to him all the time that he was with her, the grip on his shaking form never going lax as he spoke. Naruto knew that if he ever caught up with Sakura again she was going to be dead.
Naruto stroked the man's hair and gritted his teeth. The air in the room grew thick and heated in the mix of tears and raging fury. As Sasuke calmed down he turned his head to look up at the other. He smiled at him weakly, and Naruto forced a smile of his own, then Sasuke snuggled into the tan chest that was covered only by a black t-shirt, falling asleep in seconds from his absolute exhaustion. Naruto let him sleep there as he reclined on the couch, adjusting them so Sasuke was cuddled to his chest laying on top of the blonde. Naruto fell asleep soon after, a manga in his hand dangling off the couch, the other hand resting on the Ravens shoulders.
