AN: allright guys... Enjoy (I hope) and please comment? I need feedback... good or bad T^T

Sasuke woke again. And he was pissed.

He had remembered the cocky smile that had drugged him when he wanted to leave. Now, now he found himself in a different hospital room, not attached to any machines and still heavily bandaged.

He also found himself blessedly alone. Which meant he could sneak out. Not thinking about the pain he maneuvered himself to the side and stepped down. So far so good… he didn't sense any problems with his legs or anything.

He took a step forward…and fell.

"fuck.." he cursed himself under his breath. He should have known that his legs weren't fit to walk just yet. Pouring forth a string of colorful language he opted for at least trying to stand.

In vain, it looked like all his muscles were unwilling to cooperate. He dragged himself back onto the bed and scowled at the wall.

A small chuckle reached him. Sasuke turned.

There at the door was the accursed blonde. "What are you here for?" he spat angrily. Deciding to vent while he could.

"tsk tsk… now, is that any way to talk to a friendly visitor?"

"Don't screw with me…Naruto."

The blonde barked out a laugh. "Heyyy there kiddo, no reason to be feisty."

He sat on the corner of the bed and plopped a bowl chicken soup in front of the raven.

Sasuke glared and with a swift flick, the bowl shattered against the nearest wall.

Naruto's face didn't lose the innocent smile, but his eyes hardened a notch. Sasuke noted this.

"you have to eat, have you any idea how long you've been on liquids?

"I want to leave."

Naruto stood up. "go right on ahead."

Sasuke hissed in anger. So the ass had been watching him struggle.

Naruto saw the understanding dawn on Sasuke and smirked. "You're weak; you can't even get out of bed."

"what did you do to me asshole?" Sasuke wheezed, holding his side, which had started to bleed a bit.

Innocent eyes met his.

"I'm weak… and I haven't felt pain up until now… what the fuck did you do."

"Ohhh that…" Naruto plopped himself on the chair opposite him.

"I had you drugged right up until yesterday… that would be what…" He looked at the ceiling. "Two weeks?"

If Sasuke could walk. If he could somehow just get h8mself to that tanned neck, he swore he would strangle the asshole.

"Do you realize that drugging me to keep me here is illegal?" he cut back.

"Yah… that never really worked on me." Naruto chuckled. "besides, I needed to keep you here long enough to talk…"

"So rendering me incapable of movement seemed like the best idea to you?"

Sasuke didn't believe it. Was this guy for real? Was he insane?

Naruto looked at him pointedly. "Well, from the escapade you put up the last time you woke up…yes. And that little incident from five minutes ago had proven my tactic to be correct. Wouldn't you agree?"

"Fuck you."

"Sorry can't."

Sasuke scowled harder at the sight of Naruto laughing heartily.

"So why did you decide to revive me now?"

"I figured you were healed enough that even with you thrashing you couldn't hurt yourself too much."

"well, thank you for caring."

"You're welcome."

Sasuke growled as he crossed his arms and hissed in pain. No can do.

"Does that mean that you're ready to let me go?"

Naruto turned serious. "I could… but I won't."

Sasuke was enraged. "What? Why the hell not?"

"You owe me."

Sasuke snorted. "Sorry, but I have no money."

"Not that."

"I have no contacts that are interesting."

"Not that either…"

"then what?"

"I want you…"

Sasuke looked straight at him. The man was serious. There was no hesitation in his voice, and that mad glint I his eye told him he wasn't taking "no" for an answer.

"So you want to fuck me?"

"Not quite." Naruto shook his head.

"I want not just your body…for this to work, you need to trust me completely, you need to listen, obey and give your life to me."

"I don't do sects…"

Naruto snorted in laughter. This kid had a comeback for everything. He liked that.

"Actually, that's not it either."

Sasuke was now strongly puzzled, bordering on freaked. He needed out, but with his state being what it was, and the athletic blonde in front of him, he didn't know what tp do.

He was in a corner, and he hated it. For now though, he'd play along.

"I want you to live with me." Naruto waved his hand. "Not that way, baka." He added after seeing the confused look on the ravens face.

"You're going to move in with me, I'm going to give you my name, you will go to school, educate yourself, and become respectable." He looked at the stunned Sasuke again. "That's about the gist of it." He added.

"Why?" was the only word that Sasuke managed to whisper. This man wasn't taking anything from him, in fact. He was trying to give him what no one in their right mind would.

"What are you playing at?" he hissed, eyes slits.

Naruto had had enough. This kid was a handful. He smiled inwardly. He wasn't much older himself but at least he could attempt to be polite. Or pretend. Not anymore…

"He walked over to the bed and got right up close and personal with Sasuke's face.

"you owe me… correct?" he didn't give Sasuke a chance to answer.

"So you do what I say on terms I want… If I feel like making you do all that, I will… and you will listen… call it research."

Sasuke clenched his teeth. He knew that smile was fake but to switch from one to the other with such speed was uncomforting.

So plan was on. He would listen, if only for now…

"Good" Naruto growled, straightening up.

"You'll be discharged in two days."

Sasuke closed his eyes… He had put his soul on loan with the devil. He decided to rest a bit, his side was hurting more than he expected and he knew it bled a bit.

The gentle touch he felt to his arm was not something he expected.

He looked up and tensed. Naruto held his arm gently, crouched at his side, not looking into his eyes but frowning at the drops of blood that now showed through the linen.

He stood and walked to the side drawers, pulling out bandages, scissors and cream.

He sat beside Sasuke and moved his arm to rest on his lap. "he looked up quickly to the raven. "this might hurt…" Sasuke was too busy relearning how to breather from the smoldering gaze he have him. Only managing to nod quietly.

He didn't know why he allowed the blonde to touch him. Somehow, now that he had agreed, he realized that he couldn't say no. Biting his cheek he knew that even without their agreement he wouldn't say no… fuck.

Naruto's fingers worked quickly and silently, clipping through the old bandages and removing them without hurting Sasuke. When his digits ran beside the length of the cut, Sasuke hissed. The hand was removed quickly, a short apology mumbled.

Naruto didn't know that Sasuke wasn't hurt, just surprised, quite pleasantly; by the feeling of being touched so gently.

When he applied the cream his hand flew to the tan one, grasping it as he arched off the bed a bit.

The tanned hand flipped and grasped his tightly, letting him know that it understood the pain, that it wouldn't let go.

AN: okie…. Hows this? HA! Got it done just in time ^.^
