Sunlight
Dawn... If he survived until dawn, he had a chance to make it back.
Sasuke's head spun and he knew he'd lost a dangerous amount of blood, but it didn't matter. It also no longer mattered that the mission had been a fucking trap. It wasn't important that he could barely feel his legs – as long as he could move them, everything was fine – or that one or two of his enemies had used poisoned weapons. If he survived until dawn, he had a chance to make it back. And he had to make it back – he had to survive until...
The branch beneath him gave in under his weight and he hit the floor before he could react. The impact alone was enough to almost knock him out and the pain that washed over his fogged mind made any coherent thought impossible. For seconds, or hours maybe, he just lay there, panting harshly.
He–he had to survive, make it back... If he could just survive until dawn, then–
"Sasuke!"
Someone kneeled down next to him and rolled him onto his side – his left side, because he vaguely remembered there was a broken arrow embedded into his right.
"Hey, bastard! Hang in there for fuck's sake!" He felt a light slap to the face, but it was to weak to really bring him back. "Hey! Look at me, asshole!" The last words were almost screamed into his face and he fought to open his eyes, move his lips, tell the fucker to shut up – he just had to survive until––
He blinked, vision blurry and eyes unfocused, only to find himself looking up at what could have been sunrise. Naruto smiled weakly, blue eyes wide with worry.
"Too bright..." Sasuke mumbled and turned his head away, only to hear Naruto laugh.
"It's just past midnight, bastard... It's pitch black around here!" But he had to be lying, because Sasuke could see the sunlight radiating from his eyes.
