Chapter 2

Naruto walked in the direction of the locker room to find Sasuke with his full football gear on, except for his jersey. Sasuke's back was towards the door, but when Sasuke turned and started walking towards the shower room Naruto saw a huge wound he had on his chest towards the left. He was bleeding quite a bit and it looked deep. Naruto stood there in shock for a few seconds. Sasuke in the meantime kept walking towards the shower room like nothing was wrong.

(Shit I hope he didn't see) Sasuke thought as he reached the shower room, he graced his hand along the wound and flinched at the stinging pain. (Who am I kidding of course he saw, it's huge! Dammit )

"Umm Sasuke are you okay? " Naruto asked shyly. Sasuke closed his eyes silently cursing while still giving his back to naruto.

(Great I run into naruto when his with his girlfriend and now when I'm hurt, why the hell is nothing going right today! ) Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts.

"Yeah I'm fine just a small scratch" Sasuke replied.

Naruto started to feel a bit irritated, he had just seen the injury and Sasuke had the nerve to say his fine. That's the Uchiha's problem he thought.

"Why can't you ever admit anything? " Naruto said with his voice changing to a more deep and irritated one than the voice he used a couple seconds ago, but he was mad and irritated and wanted Sasuke to stop acting so high and mighty.

Getting no response he walked over to Sasuke and put his arm on his shoulder and tightly pulled him around to face him. He looked at Sasuke's onyx eyes and then his gaze drifted down towards Sasuke's chest where the wound was located.

"Dammit Sasuke how did you even get an injury like this? "

"It just happened on football field by mistake"

"We need to see a nurse. "

"No I'm okay"

Naruto was worried about Sasuke but he was getting irritated because Sasuke was such a hard head.

Suddenly Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hand and pulled him back into the locker room and sat on a bench gently tugging at Naruto's hand to urge him to sit. Naruto didn't sit down he just looked at Sasuke with a puzzled face.

(Why is Sasuke grabbing my hand, it feels weird ... but I kinda want him to hold my hand a little tighter it feels reassuring...wait what? )

Snapping out of his thoughts he pulled his hand away rather quickly from Sasuke's hand.

"Teme! What are you doing? "

"I said I was fine but you seem to think I need a nurse, but seeing a nurse for a small scratch is embarrassing, so you treat me. "

Naruto's eyes widen but he knew Sasuke would never see a nurse, his stupid Uchiha pride wouldn't let him admit he was hurt and needed help. With a sigh Naruto went over to a sink in the shower room and returned with a wet cloth, bandages and alcohol. Naruto stood in front of Sasuke and noticed that he still had his football helmet on, he felt relieved that he couldn't see Sasuke's face. He would feel more embarrassed than how he felt now; although, he still continued to tend to Sasuke's injury the best he could.

(Why is it so hot in here) Sasuke could feel sweat droplets that were forming in his head from the heat that was trapped by his hair and football helmet. In a matter of minutes the sweat droplets began to run down his face and neck. He urged for his hand to move and wipe away the sweat, but was paralyzed by the blond in front of him. Naruto looked so concentrated on treating Sasuke's wound. The blonds eyes were fixed on Sasuke's chest, his lips were slightly parted due to his concentration in the wound, he was compelling oblivious to the kind of situation they were in.

Naruto was so focused on the wound and Sasuke was focusing on sweating less, which was immensely hard since he was a couple inches away from the blond.

Kiba walked into the locker room and saw Sasuke sitting on the bench shirtless and Naruto standing in front of Sasuke caressing his chest.

(What the hell are they doing in the locker room?! Doesn't naruto have a girlfriend?)

As kiba walked closer in the locker room he noticesthat Sasuke was covered in white bandages all over his chest, he could pass for a seriously wounded person. Kiba stopped for a moment and then turned around and went back outside. His steps became slower as he reached the bleachers that overlooked the football field, he took a seat in the last row on top.

"I almost forgot Sasuke got injured during practice." Kiba said to no one in particular.

He lifted his hand up to his left cheek.

"Must be nice having someone to spoil you when you're hurt.. or just to tend to your wound"

**flashback**

"Kiba hurry up you're always the last one out"

"Yeah yeah, I'm going" Kiba replied to his teammates. He knew he was always the last one, but it wasn't his fault ino always insisted that he was to walk her to her class, which was all the way across the school. He quickly put his helmet on, maybe too quickly. He tried to multitask by running and putting his helmet on, he pushed the helmet down on his head and his thumb nail grazed his left cheek. Small amounts of blood could be seen on the small scratch. He brushed of the little amount of blood that made its way out of the scratch with his sleeve. And ran to stand next to the rest of the team that was already there.

After Football practice was over he started undressing as soon as he reached the door of the locker room and quickly shoved it in the locker while hurrying to put his regular clothes on. He ran out and stopped when he saw Ino waiting for him outside the locker room and she greeted him with a bright smile that quickly turned into a gasp when she saw the tiny scratch on his cheek, but to her it seemed like an opened wound that was going to need stitches. that whole day she pampered him. Kiba had never received that kind of attention from anyone. His mom and sister would never fuss over a little scratch like that, so it was no surprise that at the time he found ino to be annoying when she would fuss over little things... But now he kinda missed it.

"Dammit" He took his hand of his cheek and punched the metal bleachers. Just to soon regret that.

"Shittt! oowww owww owww", kiba tried massaging his hand with the his other. He thought that it was a sign for not valuing what he had and now he was getting what he thought he deserved.

"It not that I like her it's just that she's different from all the women I've met before." Kiba said trying to convince himself of the words he just spoke. After a few moments of silence he stood waving his hands.

"Ahh whatever I'm going crazy talking to myself!"

He decided to walk back into the locker room to find Naruto and Sasuke gone.

"Why am I always the last one? Well I guess that's better I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone."

He got dressed and walked out of the locker room. School was over for the day, so kiba took his time walking. Although he didn't seem to pay attention to where he was going, he was lost in his own thoughts of the past. Somehow his subconscious must have known and told his feet where to go cause he ended in the medical department.
