Sprinting up the stairs of the Konoha hospital, Sasuke couldn't remember ever being so excited. After everything that had happened he had laid in the hospital for a week because of his arm and it was now 5 weeks later. Kakashi had come by his house earlier that day to tell him Naruto had finally woken up. When Sasuke reached the third floor he was almost out of breath but kept running until he reached room 305. He stared at the door before slowly opening it.
When he stepped into the room he was disappointed to see that Naruto was asleep. This was better than the coma he had been in for 6 weeks. Sasuke grabbed a chair and sat next to Naruto's bed. All the tubes which had kept him alive before were now all gone because he could breath by himself again. It relieved Sasuke, the tubes had made everything seem so gloomy and without hope.
Looking down at the sleeping blond Sasuke sighed as he placed his hand on Naruto's and stroked it with his thumb. Then a nurse came into the room and smiled when she saw Sasuke. She had also kept an eye on him when he was in the hospital and he thought she was a good woman. She placed a tray of food next to Naruto's bed and left again.
As if it he had smelled the food Naruto's eyes slowly fluttered open and he looked up at the ceiling before his head turned to the side and looked at Sasuke. He started blinking at first as if he couldn't believe Sasuke was really sitting next to him and then squeezed the hand which was holding his. Sasuke responded by squeezing back and Naruto grinned.
"Sasuke! It really is you." The raven nodded and let Naruto's hand go to grab the food tray and gave it to Naruto.
After staring at the tray Naruto started eating slowly and seemed uneasy. Sasuke leaned forward and stared into Naruto's blue eyes.
"What's the matter?" The blond frowned and pushed the tray aside before he started fiddling with the bed sheets. "Do you hate me now you know what I am Sasuke?"
Sasuke laughed to Naruto's surprise and the blond shivered when he kissed his forehead.
"Of course not, dobe." Naruto frowned at the boy in front of him.
"Don't call me dobe, teme." Sasuke raised an eyebrow at Naruto's comeback and turned around when the door was flung open and Sakura, Ino, Hinata and Tenten came running into the room. Sasuke was pushed aside as the girls started asking Naruto questions about why he lied to them and if he was ok.
Hearing Naruto yelp at all the commotion Sasuke stood up and pushed the girls backwards telling them to calm down. They did and to Naruto's relief they left after a few minutes, leaving him and Sasuke alone again. Blue eyes followed him as he went to look at several flowers.
"Get well soon dirt cheeks!" Naruto giggled as Sasuke read the card attached to a single tiger lily. "From Konohamaru, isn't that cute?"
Sasuke ducked as a pillow came flying towards his head and turned to glare at the blond, who stuck his tongue out at him. Sasuke mumbled something about admirers as he sat back down on the chair and looked at Naruto.
There was an awkward silence that was interrupted by a nurse coming into the room and told Sasuke that visitor's hour was over and he had to leave. Naruto begged the nurse if his friend could stay longer, but she didn't give in and the two boys said goodbye to each other.
It had been a week since he had woken from his coma and Naruto was able to go back home. Sasuke came to pick him up and they talked as Sasuke pushed Naruto in a wheelchair.
"It sucks I can't walk yet." He sighed as they reached his house. Ever since that night Naruto noticed that the demon wasn't talking to him anymore.
"I'm concerned fox, why aren't you answering?!" Even though he was calling him the fox still didn't respond and Naruto was really getting worried.
The fox never answered or talked back telling him to shut up. Naruto grabbed the crutches he had gotten and opened the door only to be welcomed by a group of his friends.
A few of the boys came over to shake his hand and Naruto forced a smile. He still wasn't used to so many people in one place only to greet him and welcome him home. It shocked him even more when Kiba lunged forward and hugged him, nearly losing his balance Naruto somehow managed to stay standing.
"Damn kid, you scared me there! Don't do that again, fuck I was worried." He grinned and Naruto just stared at him.
After a few moments he laughed lightly and smirked at the dog loving boy.
"Did you just call me kid?" Kiba nodded and shouted when Naruto kicked his shin. Everyone turned around as they watched Kiba kneel down on the floor in pain and Naruto watching him with an evil smirk. The silence was broken when Sasuke slapped the blonds' head who shouted in protest.
Two hours later everyone left leaving Naruto and Sasuke alone again. The raven was looking through some things when Naruto growled at him.
"How dare you slap me Uchiha?!" Sasuke only shrugged when enraged blue eyes met his onyx ones. He could hear the blond grumble something under his breath about Uchihas being stupid bastards. Raising an eyebrow Sasuke remembered how Itachi called Naruto his 'other' little brother.
He decided to let it slide as Naruto drifted off into sleep. Cursing the blond for falling asleep before he was in his room, Sasuke tried to wake him by shaking him but didn't receive any response.
Sighing Sasuke picked Naruto up bridal style and laid him on his bed. As soon as his head hit the pillow Naruto's arms flung around Sasuke's neck and pulled him onto the bed next to him. The raven gulped as he felt his face flush at the sight of Naruto's face so close to his own.
It was already nine in the evening when Sasuke tried to pry Naruto's arms off of him. Half an hour later he was still in the bed, the result of struggle had only caused Naruto to tighten his grip holding the Uchiha down. Growling Sasuke decided he would have to stay the night whether he wanted to or not. He just hoped no one would notice, but at that moment he heard laughing outside the window immediately hearing it was Kakashi.
The jounin jumped in through a window and looked down at Sasuke.
"My, you're really in quite the predicament aren't you?" Sasuke answered by throwing a glare at his sensei who only grinned and left saying he would leave the two alone, for now. Sighing he watched as Kakashi disappeared into the night, but not before he yelped as a camera flashed from the tree next to the window.
"Great, I hope he doesn't show anyone the damn picture." Because he was his sensei Sasuke knew he would use that picture to black mail the Uchiha whenever possible. Sasuke sighed once more before, he too fell asleep.
Sasuke slowly opened his eyes the next morning and yawned, suddenly stopping from not feeling the warmth of Naruto next to him anymore. Jumping up Sasuke ran downstairs only to have Naruto stare at him.
"What's the matter teme? You look like you've seen a ghost" The blond was standing in the kitchen making breakfast. Sasuke only growled and looked at Naruto.
He was already standing up by himself without crutches or any support at all.
"How are you able to walk yet? Tsunade said it would take at least 2 weeks before you could-" Naruto placed his finger on Sasuke's lips silencing him in the middle of his sentence. Smirking Naruto withdrew his finger.
"I know what she said Uchiha, I recover fast. Actually I didn't even need them yesterday. I needed something to keep me on my feet because I knew Kiba would jump me."
Naruto took a bite out of an apple as Sasuke's mouth fell open and shrugged seeing the raven so shocked. He returned to the kitchen as soon as he heard the kettle and peeked out from behind the corner asking Sasuke if he also wanted tea, Sasuke nodded absently and sat down on the couch. After finishing his tea Naruto asked if he wanted a shower and then commented that Sasuke did stink a little. The raven stood up and made his way to the bathroom.
"I'll be waiting for you!"
Smirking at the idiotic joy of Naruto Sasuke undressed and stepped into the shower. He didn't shower long and grabbed a towel to dry off. Hearing a sudden shout from the other room Sasuke opened the door slightly and pecked through the crack. Naruto was pacing in the room rambling as if he were talking to someone.
"You stupid pig headed fox! Couldn't you respond a little earlier?" A short pause as Naruto stopped in his tracks. "Hey! I was actually worried you know Kyuubi."
Sasuke gasped as he quickly closed the door, Naruto was talking to the nine-tailed fox, but Sasuke had no explanation on how. He yelped as the bathroom door flung open and fell on the floor and looked up at a smirking Naruto.
"Yup you were right fox, teme is a little nosy." Naruto leaned down and poked Sasuke's shoulder and told him to not do it again before he left the room and Sasuke quickly dressed.
Demanding an explanation Sasuke storming down the stairs and approached Naruto. The blond gladly explained he and the demon were able to contact each other in his mind and commented that it was a little crowded in his head and was glad he didn't have an alter ego or something like that.
The two left the house just after lunch and Naruto brought his crutches along to fool everyone, Sasuke only rolled his eyes as he watched the blond go over to some of their friends close to the training field.
"Akamaru and I could kick your sorry ass any day Sasuke!" Kiba pointed at the raven fuming when he said that he was weak. Sasuke responded by grabbing a kunai and suggested they spar. It wasn't long before it was over and Naruto, Ino, Sakura, Tenten and even Shino laughed as the brunet lost.
Smirking down at Kiba Sasuke helped him up and told him that he would maybe win next time. Sakura and Ino started whispering how strong he was and how no one could ever win sparring with Sasuke. Naruto smirked at the challenge and told Sasuke he would spar with him. Kiba stood in front of Naruto and told him he wasn't near strong enough yet to spar, Naruto smirked and tossed his crutches to Shino.
"Watch me dog breath."
Naruto and Sasuke stared each other down until Sasuke grabbed a few shuriken and threw towards Naruto who dodged them and suddenly disappeared. Looking around no one could see him anywhere until he appeared behind Sasuke and covered his mouth with his hand and held a kunai against his throat.
"It helps to be stealthy doesn't it?" Sasuke managed to throw Naruto off of him, but the blond had an iron grip and Sasuke fell after him. They started wrestling on the ground and the girls were cheering on Sasuke as Kiba cheered Naruto on.
Everyone stopped cheering when the two stopped and Naruto was straddling Sasuke who looked angry. "See dog breath that was easy."
Kiba stepped forward and said it was payback time, before Naruto could react Kiba kicked him and sent the blond falling forward. The girls gasped as Kiba turned around grinning proudly; he stared at them as the stood looking in shock and turned around again.
"Oh god that's wrong!"
Because he was sent flying forward so suddenly Naruto wasn't able to stop his fall and his lips and Sasuke's collided. Feeling awkward Sasuke flushed and tried to get Naruto off of him, but the blond didn't let him. Sakura screamed when she saw Naruto run his tongue over Sasuke's bottom lip and hear Sasuke moan in pleasure. Before both of the boys noticed anything Sakura and Ino came running over and pushed Naruto off of Sasuke.
"How dare you kiss him? Just because you're gay doesn't mean you have to hit on my Sasuke."
"Your Sasuke, no way Ino-pig!" The girls starting arguing and Naruto stood up with a sigh. They just had to ruin it, he mentally noted that he would have to thank Kiba as soon as the two girls left, but for the time being he would be the one to disappear. He helped Sasuke up and smirked as he waved and winked before disappearing.
"No don't leave me with them!" Sasuke pointed at Sakura and Ino who had stopped as soon as Naruto was next to Sasuke again.
Pissed off Sasuke made his way back to Naruto's house, he couldn't understand that after he had kissed him - Sasuke blushed as he thought about it again - he had left him alone with Sakura and Ino. The door flew open as Sasuke entered the blonds' house. There wasn't any response at first until the door shut behind Sasuke.
It was dark in the house and Sasuke slowly walked towards where he knew the living room was. A small desk light in the corner of the room was turned on and Naruto was sitting in an arm chair next to it staring out of a window.
"Why'd you leave me there?" Naruto looked up and shrugged as Sasuke moved closer to him.
Sasuke repeated his question again only receiving a grunt as answer. The raven groaned and kneeled in front of the blond as their eyes met. Sasuke remembered the night he had been taken hostage by that bandit and how blood red Naruto's eyes had been. He liked his blue eyes much better.
"Well, maybe you'll answer this. Why didn't you tell me how you became an Akatsuki?" He shivered as he thought of them and Naruto coughed.
"It started years ago, when I ran away from Konoha when I was 7." Naruto started telling everything about his past and it was 45 minutes later when he was done. Watching Sasuke he could see it was hard for the Uchiha to believe everything, especially when he told him about how Itachi had been the brother he never had.
"He can't be all you say!" Sasuke stood up and was shaking with anger. "You have no idea who he is! Fuck Naruto how could you be so stupid!"
He stopped shouting when Naruto stood up and started shouting back at him.
"No you know nothing! Who's been with him the last 9 years? That's even more than when you two were still 'perfect' little brothers. Let me tell you something, you have no idea how he is and you can't keep blaming him for how your pitiful life has become. So you shut the fuck up Uchiha Sasuke!"
Raising a fist Naruto punched Sasuke's jaw and he staggered backwards as his lip started to bleed. Shaking his head Sasuke looked back at the blond and glared at Naruto whose eyes darkened as he stared down at his feet. He raised his arm and pointed at the door motioning Sasuke to leave. The raven stepped forward and Naruto stomped his foot and screamed that Sasuke had to leave his house.
Not knowing what to say Sasuke made his way to the door and slammed it shut as soon as he was outside. He didn't know what to do start bawling on Naruto's doorstep or going back to his own house to release all his own anger. He decided on the last one and quickly made his way back home. Sakura was walking by as a chair flew out of a window nearing hitting her and ran off screaming.
Grabbing his bag Naruto took one last glace at the house he had been staying in, after his argument with Sasuke the night before he knew he couldn't stay. Looking down at his familiar Akatsuki robe he sighed.
'Are we really leaving this time?' Naruto growled at Kyuubi. "Yes we are, and we are never, ever coming back!" He had contacted Itachi the night before and the Uchiha had promised to send Deidara and Tobi to pick him up.
He made his way to the gate and made sure no one he knew saw him. He could already see Deidara and Tobi when he heard Sasuke shouting his name. Without thinking he quickened his pace and ran to Deidara and Tobi and they left immediately. Sasuke growled and quickened his pace as well and kept following Naruto. He groaned when he was thrown to the ground and looked up at Naruto.
Tobi and Deidara joined him as they looked down at the boy.
"If you dare follow me Uchiha, I swear it'll be your death!" Naruto snapped before he ran off along with the other two Akatsuki members. Enraged Sasuke stood up and punched a tree leaving a giant hole. He fell down again as tears started forming in his eyes and his hand started bleeding.
No he wasn't crying because his hand hurt, but because his heart hurt and he couldn't believe Naruto had left again. It took him a few moments to get his senses back again and stared at the figures running away from him.
"Fuck Naruto why are you leaving me! I thought I meant something to you!" He whispered the last sentence before he broke down and made his way back to Konoha. Broken hearted and confused.
