Naruto's POV
The wait in the waiting room for the nurse to come in for Sasuke is not just awkward it's painful. It's so quiet and we just sit across from each other, tapping our feet and checking our phones, which we both know have nothing new on them.
My phone buzzes in my pocket and I blink startled as the little Facebook icon pops up with a friend request from Sasuke. I look up and see a small smirk play on his lips as I accept it.
Never thought this day would come.
Fifteen minutes into waiting, Sasuke won't stop tapping his foot furiously and then he shoots up and out of his seat and paces the floor.
I watch in confusion.
"This was a bad idea, let's just come back another time." He mutters, running a hand through his messy hair.
I inwardly groan. I stand up from my seat and approach him.
"We're already here. Come on Sasuke you need the help and besides your not the only teenager doing weed these days." I say, trying to support the distressed Uchiha.
"Naruto," He snaps and through a forced whisper and clenched teeth he leans in so that his mouth is inches from my ear,"I don't do weed, I do meth." He confesses, leaning away and shoving his hands in his pockets.
He averts his gaze and stares at the floor, scuffing his foot in embarrassment.
My mouth drops open.
"I could get arrested if they found out I did meth. Goodbye college." He spits bitterly.
"Sasuke this is serious. Why did you lie to me?" I say, beginning to panic a bit.
We can't just walk in there and announce that he has a huge meth addiction. Shoot what do I do? I need Sakura…
The door opens as a petite nurse walks in with a clipboard in her hand.
"Sasuke Uchiha?" She asks, a sweet smile spreading across her cute face.
Sasuke shoots me a terrified look and I just stand there frozen not sure what to do. The nurse looks from me to Sasuke and back, with a plastic smile.
Then the large double doors flings open again, this time a little more dramatically.
"HAZEL GRACE SHOW ME YOUR SCARS." Screams a frantic redhead looking directly into Sasuke's eyes. His hand is extended out in a poetic manner as he holds a book.
The nurse, who had called Sasuke's name moments ago, shakes her head and shoots all of us a nasty glare before turning around and heading through the doors she came in through. She mutters something along the lines of "Not this guy again…"
Looking over at Gaara and then at Sasuke, I notice that he's staring at Gaara in pure confusion.
"Naruto?" Gaara says, tilting his head in confusion as he recognizes me. "What are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you the same thing." I reply, looking him up and down and noticing that he looks put together. Seems like he's actually trying with a new wardrobe, and quite frankly it looks better than his baggy pants, chains, and leather jackets.
The redhead that I met at the hospital months ago is now a new person, of course he still has his weird sense of humor and obsession with McFlurries, but hey somethings just never change.
Gaara snorts.
"Is your friend having some issues?" Gaara asks, looking past me and at Sasuke.
Sasuke groans and shoots me a "can we please leave" type of look. You know the one that you give your mom when she spends two hours in the clothing store.
Yeah, that look.
"No…" I begin, and thankfully before Gaara can open his mouth to question me anymore the doors open for the third time and out comes a frazzled Matsuri.
How did I know she was going to show up sooner or later?
"Gaara, why did you just suddenly run off like that? We were just getting to the good part!" She yells at him, narrowing her eyes as she approaches him and pokes him in the chest.
Gaara stares at her with a blank expression before sighing.
"I felt spontaneous." He replies coolly, causing Matsuri to glare even harder at him.
"This is the second time today. The other nurses keep complaining about your loud outbursts." She says, leaning away from him and folding her arms over her chest.
Gaara mutters a halfhearted apology, which seems to satisfy the brunette.
Her eyes dart over to the both of us and she smiles brightly.
"Oh Naruto you're here! And you brought a friend? What's going on?" She asks, walking over to us.
Sasuke throws his hands up in the air.
"Just how many friends do you have here Naruto?" He asks, clearly frustrated that he can't escape.
I smile sheepishly.
"Just these two." I reply and he only rolls his eyes. I notice his discomfort, and after sharing the fact that he does meth, I feel the urge to get myself out of here but at the same time I'm obliged to help him.
"Ehm, Sasuke's here to see a doctor about an issue. Matsuri could you get that nurse who just walked out on us back in here?" I ask, watching Matsuri eye the both of us suspiciously before nodding her head and spinning on her heel, off to find the nurse.
Gaara watches her go before setting his gaze on the two of us.
"What's the issue?" Gaara asks the Uchiha, who is tapping his foot impatiently.
"None of your business." He snaps, averting his gaze and tapping his foot madly out of impatience.
Gaara sighs, but I notice the small twitch in his left eye.
"So uh Gaara, you're reading some new book?" I ask, hoping to change the topic of our conversation.
Gaara nods.
"Yeah, figured since you had cancer I'd read some books based around it. Matsuri lent me The Fault in Our Stars. It's pretty cheesy if you ask me, but I find my own way of making it amusing." He states simply, a devilish glint in his eyes.
I shake my head. Of course Gaara would be the one to disturb the hospital by reenacting scenes in the book.
Sasuke grunts, shaking his head at how ridiculous this redheaded freak is.
"So you say your idea of fun is wasting your time in a hospital reading depressing books?" Sasuke taunts, quirking his eyebrow at Gaara who's left eye twitches yet again.
"At least I'm not a drug addict." Gaara fires back, folding his arms over his chest and smirking as Sasuke's stoic expression falters.
He shoots me an unfriendly glare.
"You told him?" Sasuke spits, venom dripping from his tongue.
"How could I do that? I was with you the whole time!" I retort, shooting Gaara a look to shut up.
"It's pretty obvious, I can tell from experience." Gaara states simply, taking a seat on one of the waiting room chairs and folding a leg over the other casually.
Sasuke grunts and curses under his breath while Gaara simply shrugs giving me a look that says, "He asked for it."
I close my eyes and shake my head out of annoyance.
Seriously these two.
"You took meth too?" Sasuke asks, a look of astonishment plastered over his features.
The crimson haired teen simply tilts his head back and roars in laughter, clutching his sides.
Sasuke and I stare at him in confusion.
"You actually take drugs? I was just joking, but oh man meth? That's just too funny." Gaara laughs, slapping his knee as he does so and wiping the corners of his eyes.
Sasuke's eye twitches and he clenches his fists as he death glares the redheaded jokster. His onyx eyes pierce into his and I'm pretty sure Sasuke is seconds away from punching Gaara in the face. He approaches him with a raised fist and a look of death.
Panic swoons into me and I feel my eyes darting back from the laughing Gaara to the irritated Sasuke.
What the heck am I supposed to do?!
"Uh, guys-" I begin, raising my hands in defense and moving in between them, nervously glancing from the redhead to the drug induced Uchiha.
"Move it Naruto." Sasuke spits, ignoring my presence and shoving me aside causing me to stumble back and almost trip over my own feet.
His jawline is tight and he raises his fist high, as Gaara simply smirks.
"Do it." Gaara taunts, a devilish grin on his pale features.
Sasuke's fists plummets downwards, I shut my eyes but peep them open a little ready to wince as the impact is made, Gaara seems to be enjoying it, a playful grin on his face.
I feel the tension growing in the waiting room, and the air becoming thick with rage.
Sasuke has a menacing look in his eyes as his fist comes mere centimeters from landing on Gaara's pale cheek.
I close my eyes ready to listen to the familiar crack of a bone breaking.
The doors fling open, and every bone in all of our bodies freezes.
I peep my eyes open.
The fist a split centimeter away from Gaara's pale cheek.
Gaara smirking at the aggravated Uchiha and Sasuke looking over at the nurse with a stunned expression.
"Found her!" Matsuri exclaims loudly with a bright smile, which soon turns into a frown and then a scowl as she stares at the scene before her.
"GAARA!"
He gulps.
Omg I love Matsuri so much and how Gaara is slightly intimidated by her. xD
Gaara and Naruto's friendship doe...like d'awwwwwwwh *_*
