Sakura woke up to coughing and groaning coming from the bathroom. She sat up quickly, rubbing sleep from her eyes, and looked to her left. Seeing that Sasuke was missing and hearing the noises coming from the bathroom, she put the pieces together. Sasuke was sick.
'Oh no...' she thought as she quickly hopped off the bed and ran to the bathroom, slamming the door open. Sakura saw Sasuke bent over the toilet, his body trembling and covered in a thin sheen of sweat. He didn't shows any signs that he knew she was there as he tried to slow his breathing. He leaned back and looked up at Sakura, finally noticing her presence.
Sakura, knowing Sasuke was done at the moment, ran to him and carefully pulled him away from the toilet. She pulled him against her, letting him bury his face in her chest. His chest was heaving and he coughed repeatedly as he tried to breathe through the pain in his throat. Sakura immediately noticed this and rubbed his back in soothing circles.
"Try breathing through your nose, Sasuke-kun." she said quietly. Sasuke nodded and did as she suggested, finding it easier to breathe after a few minutes. He groaned suddenly, clutching his stomach. Sakura smiled worryingly. "Let's get you cleaned up a bit." she whispered, slowly letting go of him.
Sakura stood up and went to the sink, wetting a washcloth and walking back over to Sasuke. She knelt in front of him and gently grabbed his chin, making him turn his head to look at her. Sakura smiled at him before carefully wiping his face with the washcloth. Looking down, she notice that he had managed to get vomit on his shirt.
"You kinda puked on your shirt..." she said quietly. Sasuke looked away, slightly embarrassed. "It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Everyone gets sick sometimes." Sakura smiled and, being careful not to surprise him, slowly helped him take his shirt off. Setting it down on the floor by the door, she went to the cabinet outside the bathroom door to look for a new shirt.
After a few minutes of rummaging through the cabinet, Sakura finally found a shirt that would fit Sasuke. She ran back to the bathroom and helped him put it on. She finally took a good look at him. He was obviously exhausted.
"Can you stand?" she asked. Sasuke shook his head and for the first time he spoke.
"No. I barely managed to make it here without falling." he replied. He moaned and clutched his stomach again, slumping towards the floor. Sakura moved and picked Sasuke up, earning faint protests from him. She ignored them and walked back to the bed, carefully laying him back down against the pillows. Sakura leaned forward and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"Feeling a little better now?" she asked and he nodded. She climbed onto the bed beside him and covered them both up. She was surprised when she felt Sasuke snuggle up against her, burying his face in her neck and closing his eyes.
Sakura wrapped her arms around him and ran her fingers through his hair. They stayed quiet for a while and Sakura was starting to think Sasuke had fallen asleep when she heard him ask, "When can I get out of here?" she looked down at and saw his onyx eyes staring back up at her. Sakura decided to tell him the truth.
"I don't know. Soon, I hope." Sasuke nodded sleepily. He started to doze off, but before he fell asleep he wanted to say something. He struggled to open his eyes again.
"Sakura?"
She looked at him, silently urging him to say what he wanted.
"Arigato..." he whispered and his eyes closed for his first decent sleep in days. Sakura pulled him tighter against her, kissing the top of his head.
"You're welcome."
Sorry it's so short! But isn't that not just the sweetest thing?! *fangirling*
