Disclaimer: Masashi Kishimoto is so mean, like meaner than Sasuke is to Naruto mean… Why won't you give me Naruto!! .:cries:.
Chapter 6: Now I think we're taking this too far
"Is he going to be alright, hag?" Naruto asked for about the millionth time since the incident.
"I told you, brat, don't call me a hag. And yes, he'll be fine. This actually will start occuring more and more and you need to conduct yourself better when it happens." Naruto knew she meant the broken bowl on the floor. Naruto stared at the floor and fidgeted with the bottom of his shirt and listened to Tsunade talk.
"When things like this happen, or when he has a sort of 'fit', in which he may go unconcious, I need you to NOT panic." She said.
"Just take him back to your home give him some of this," she handed him a medium sized bottle of pills, "You'll need to lay him down on a flat surface. Don't disturb him, and let him wake up on his own time, and give him whatever he wants when he wakes up; water, food, etc." Naruto nodded and tried his best to retain all this information.
"He may act a little…" Tsunade hesitated, trying to find a good word, "strange when he wakes up Naruto…" "Strange?" "Well he'll be extremely weak, he might not be able to move his body, at all, for several hours after he wakes up. He'll be very dependant on you to help him out and I expect you to do so to the best of your ability…"
Naruto blinked and nodded, "I'll try hag, but that's a lot of stuff to remember…"
Tsunade laughed at him and ruffled his hair, "Come on brat, it's for Sasuke and we all know you'll take good care of Sasuke…"
Naruto nodded and smiled up at her, "Always…"
….
Sasuke felt perfectly fine when they finally were finished testing him. He was annoyed with them and wished they'd leave, they were giving him another headache. He groaned to himself and looked at all the monitors. Everything about him was normal, and he couldn't really understand why he'd suddenly coughed up blood. He remembered what Tsunade had said but didn't think he'd start doing anything so soon…
Naruto had been kept out of the room for a while and was being calmed down. If Sasuke had to be honest, he'd admit that, despite the fact he'd just coughed up blood, Naruto did sort of over react.
He found the room was quiet and empty despite the excess number of doctors and nurses. He couldn't understand why Naruto not being next to him made him feel lonely, but it did, and he didn't like it.
He stared at the spot where Naruto usually sat and ignored everyone else in the room. He couldn't stop the slight ache he felt at Naruto not being there but he'd be damned if he didn't ignore it. He laid back down on the bed, turned his back to the crowd in the room and pretended to be asleep.
After a time the crowd began to diminish when they decided they would be getting nothing more out of Sasuke. He continued to lay in his position on the bed and pretended to still be sleeping.
Eventually everyone was gone and Sasuke was left to brood in silence. He thought back to his earlier feeling of emptiness. He glared at the wall, as though doing so would make him forget about Naruto, but it didn't work.
He wondered when they'd let Naruto come back in, he wasn't excited about it, it meant he'd have to face this new found need for Naruto's company. He muttered to himself and felt extremely annoyed with the world, Naruto, and himself.
"Damnit Naruto, just leave me alone already…"
"You know, talking to yourself isn't really healthy, you should stop it…" Came Naruto's voice from the direction of the door. Sasuke rolled over and stared at him. "Besides if you really don't want me to be around you then you should just say so already…"
Sasuke felt a little pang when he saw the expression on Naruto's face. It looked like he was torn between agony and confusion. Sasuke felt guilty and rolled back over. "Sorry…" he said quietly, "I didn't mean it…."
Naruto grinned at Sasuke, though he couldn't see it, and walked over to the bed. "Feeling better?" he asked, tilting his head at the figure on the bed. Sasuke didn't bother to roll over but he still answered, "Yeah, I guess…"
"Good," Naruto said sincerely. "You really did give me a scare Sasuke…" He added as an afterthought. Sasuke shrugged it off, "Yeah I noticed, the broken bowl on the floor wasn't a clue…"
Naruto's face turned red, "I didn't mean to drop it! I just freaked out, I mean come on Sasuke you had just coughed up blood god damnit, of course I was worried!" Naruto sounded mad but Sasuke continued to face the opposite wall, he would die before he let Naruto know he felt bad about scaring him.
"If you don't care what I think why don't you just tell me so!? You never tell me anything Sasuke, I worry about you and you don't give a damn what I think or feel, you're so fucking selfish and I'm sick of it!" Naruto's face turned redder and he just felt all his frustration from the past few weeks building up.
Sasuke could tell Naruto was angry but he wouldn't turn around. "Hn…" he said after a while. "Damnit Sasuke!"
"Look Naruto, if you're so unhappy around me why don't you just leave me be…" Sasuke hadn't meant for it to sound as mean as he had made it sound. He didn't mean that he actually didn't want Naruto around. He just thought that, maybe, if Naruto was only unhappy with him around, then maybe he shouldn't be around and Naruto would be happy…. He wanted Naruto to be happy, he didn't really understand why, but that's what he wanted…
He rolled over and looked at Naruto but immediately wished he hadn't. Narutos' face was red with anger and his eyes had become rather wet from tears Naruto was clearly fighting to hold back. Sasuke wanted to turn around again but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He just looked Naruto straight in the eye and tried to appoligize without speaking.
Naruto blinked at the look of guilt on Sasuke's face. He felt his anger slip away, as he hadn't actually meant to make Sauske feel bad, he'd just wanted to vent.
"Sorry…" Naruto muttered as the tears he'd been fighting started falling. "Sorry Sasuke…"
Sasuke felt even crappier, if that was possible, when Naruto started crying. "Damnit dobe, you'll get the bed wet." Naruto laughed and wiped his face. "Back to being Sasuke now?" Sasuke 'hn'ed in confirmation and Naruto grinned, his face still slightly red, and very wet.
It didn't matter, Naruto decided to himself. Sasuke would just be himself, and Naruto decided that was the best way. He would try not to yell at him anymore. "I think I took that too far… sorry…"
"Don't be sorry, dobe, save it for someone who'll care…" Naruto smiled and fought back another surge of anger at the comment. He knew, somewhere deep down, that Sasuke wasn't trying to hurt him, it was his way of being nice.
"I better go…" Naruto said, "Tsunade said I should come back after 5 minutes and it's sorta been like 20 minutes…" Naruto laughed nervously at himself and stood up. "I'll see you when she's done chewing me out… then we'll get ready to leave…"
"Leave?" Sasuke asked. "Yeah… to my house… that is if you still want to come…"
Sasuke blinked, "Oh… right… well I'll take anything over this hospital room, so hurry up…" He rolled back over and listened to Naruto retreat from the room.
Naruto grinned as he walked to the door, Sasuke wasn't mad at him, and he found he wasn't really mad at Sasuke anymore. He shut the door behind him and made his way to Tsunade's office, in a better mood than he should have been in, considering what Tsunade would probably do to him for being late…
"Damnit dobe…" Sasuke said quietly to himself after he heard the door shut. "Why are you doing this to me… leave me the fuck alone…" He slammed the pillow on top of his head and a desperate effort to block Naruto out of his head, but it didn't work and he fell into an uneasy, dobe filled, sleep…
OMG I'm sooooooo sorry that took so long to post, my isn't working how it should and won't let me post new chapters… so I can only post them when I find a different computer to do it on… SORRY!! So yeah… as promised this chapter is a little bit longer than usual… so enjoy!!
I do feel like the fight thing ended really ubruptly and some of you might not get it so I'll explain: ok Sasuke says mean things only because he thinks Naruto would be happier if he wasn't around. Naruto gets mad because he wants Sasuke to want him to be around and want him to be happy… so yeah… Naruto figured out near the end that Sasuke was doing exactly that (telling Naruto he wanted him around and be happy) but in his own way… so Naruto's not really mad anymore… just thought I'd clear that up…
