Naruto and Sasuke both got in trouble for not going to group therapy that day, both of them claiming they "overslept". "I'm covering for you this time, that's it!" Kakashi yelled. Naruto and Sasuke both kind of giggled. Kakashi was taken aback by that. Naruto laughed, Sasuke laughed, they were happy. "Please, be more careful, I want what I'm seeing right now to last." They both smiled and left his office.
When they got back to their room, Sasuke embraced Naruto and kissed him. Naruto smiled. Sasuke smiled and brushed hair out of Naruto's face. "How did you pick me?" Naruto asked. "Don't ask me for a reason, but I live for you now. I just do." Sasuke smiled.
" , Sasuke has improved very greatly since he first came here. I've gotten report from his therapist, , that his mood has really approved." The director of the facility said. "Could he be discharged?" his father asked. "I think safely he could be." The director of the facility nodded. "We want to take him out of here." cried. Kakashi walked in the room and sat down. " , could Sasuke be discharged? We really want to take him home." exclaimed. Kakashi gulped, Sasuke's improvement would go down the drain without Naruto, but he couldn't tell them about that, they would take him out of here for sure. "Although Sasuke's moods have improved and he's doing very well in our rehab program, the improvement is still very new, taking him out too early could result in relapse." He explained. "I understand that, I just really miss him at home." His mother cried. "Can we see him?" Itachi asked. "Of course, they are eating lunch right now." lead them to the dining room. Sasuke was holding Naruto's hand. "Oh no…" Kakashi whispered. "What the hell is he doing?" yelled. She burst into the lunchroom and started screaming at Sasuke. The whole room went silent and Sasuke got up and stood in front of Naruto. "What are you doing now Sasuke?! Are you ever going to be normal? Now you're a faggot?!" screamed. The staff pulled her and Sasuke out of the lunchroom and Iruka rushed to Naruto's side.
In a separate room, the yelling match continued. A stack of discharge papers were being signed by his father, his mother continued to yell at him, and Sasuke's face was red with anger. A nurse was in Naruto's room, packing Sasuke's things, Naruto sat on his bed with his face buried in his knees, he knew his happiness could never last. "I'm so sorry sweetie." A nurse touched his shoulder, and he tightened up, he was about to lose it. The nurse walked out with Sasuke's things. When Naruto heard his mother's yelling, he walked out and peered around the corner. Sasuke broke away from his father's grip and ran towards Naruto, cupping his face with his hands. "You're gonna be alright Naruto, we are gonna make it alright?! You need to stay strong for me okay?!" Sasuke yelled. Naruto couldn't speak he just nodded and the felt Sasuke's lips crash against his before he was ripped away. His mother raised a hand and Sasuke stopped it. "Don't you even fucking think about laying a hand on him, or I will fucking break it!" he screamed and they walked out. Naruto was shaking, his back crashed against the wall and he slid down and just stared at the opposite wall. He didn't even notice when Kakashi and Iruka picked him up and took him back to his room. He was on fifteen minutes checks, but he laughed, he didn't even need 15 minutes. Iruka would be coming in the morning to watch him for the entire day. The nurse walked and gave Naruto his pills so he could sleep. He swallowed them graciously, and before he knew it, he was sleeping.
He fluttered his eyes open early, it was 7:25 AM, Iruka would be there in five minutes. The nurse peered in on Naruto, looked around the room and shut the door. I guess that was her idea of a "check". Naruto pushed the covers back and found the hole in the bottom of his mattress, his dug through the hard foam and found his homemade piece; a piece of metal fell off of a broken bed one day as they were taking it away and Naruto seized the opportunity to take it. He went and turned the shower on, stripped down really quickly and sure enough when Iruka walked in the room, Naruto was sitting in the corner of the shower with blood running down his wrist.

Sasuke kicked his bedroom door, his parents had him locked in there like a prisoner. They were calling all of the churches and counselors in town to "un-gay" him. He was fucking pissed. He managed to pry open his window enough so that he could smoke a bowl and his parents wouldn't smell it. The weed calmed him, but he promised Naruto no more cocaine. "Sai what the fuck have I gotten myself into?" Sasuke whispered. Sasuke closed his eyes and could here Sai say "Fuck it dude, let's go party!" and he smiled at that, but those days were over. And for some reason Sasuke felt like Sai would be proud of him for that. Their friendship went way beyond the coke and the partying, despite what everyone else thought.
There was a knock on his door and before Sasuke could answer, they opened the door and in came the counselor that was supposed to make him straight again. "Oh Jesus Christ mother, what the fuck is this fucker going to do for me?" Sasuke yelled. "He's going to tell you what you're feeling for that boy is wrong!" she screamed. "Everything I do is wrong mom! I'm a manic depressive homosexual coke head and you're gonna have to get the fuck over that I don't meet your goddamn perfect expectations!" Sasuke screamed. His mother started crying and left the room. "So how about we begin?" the counselor said. "Bite me." Sasuke said and slammed the door in his face.

Naruto hadn't spoken the entire week he was in isolation. Iruka couldn't even get a word out of him. "Naruto, please talk to me. We need to talk about this, it isn't going to go away." Iruka said. He knew the words were piling up in Naruto's throat. "I'm just a lost fucking cause Iruka, I'm never going to leave this place, I've been here for too fucking long and I always fucking relapse. My happiness can never last!" He yelled. "What is this infatuation with Sasuke?" Iruka asked. "It's not infatuation! I love him Iruka! I fucking love him with everything I have left inside of this broken body. Every time I think I'm getting better, I don't! And for once, just once I thought I was going to heal and get the fuck out of here because Sasuke made me feel like I could do it! We were going to do it together!" Naruto stopped and paused for a minute as the tears started to flow. "He looks at me like nobody ever has, he makes me feel like I'm actually good for something. He was going to help me, because God fucking knows I can't help myself. Naruto gripped his arm and it started to bleed again.
