Chapter 4-

He was having way too much fun with this blonde haired kid and honestly, it had been a long time Pein was THIS intrigued by something other than inflicting pain. The job he worked for was extremely boring and irritating; it was the same rut day in and day out. Assassinating rival groups did give Pein a weird sense of satisfaction and thrill for sure, being able to show everyone how true pain felt made him feel almost ecstatic. But all the extra drama bullshit he could definitely live without and doing it constantly sucked.

There was some kind of strange aura that radiated from the boy that confused Pein. He felt as though the boy and he were one of the same. Deep down inside he knew they both were outcasts; call it a gut feeling if you will. The feeling of being hated and judged, complete strangers despising what they can't even begin to understand or fathom. Awhile ago it hurt so much inside for Pein. Now was a different story, he had grown up, and while growing up his heart hardened and nothing seemed to faze him anymore. Pein saw himself in this boys eyes from back when he was younger and he almost felt sorry for him; almost.

Pein tried to wait patiently for the boy to answer him but he didn't speak or even move a muscle for that matter. All that he seemed to do was stare intently at Pein; body stiff as a board. He was sick of waiting though and grew incredibly irritated incredibly fast. Tapping his palm on his lap he figured maybe he should back off just a bit. If he was to get a response he would have to give the boy some space to breath. Pein was just too overwhelming of a figure but he never thinks anything of it.

Distance was put between the two so that hopefully Naruto would loosen up. Peins eyes stayed glued to the boys' eyes. He was being extremely generous in this case so he needed to still also be assertive. This seemed to do the trick though because Naruto visibly calmed down a little bit, he wiggled around some trying to get his pounding heart under control. Naruto kept a close on Pein also, making sure this older man wasn't going to try something funny. He let another minute before he decided to answer the man's question.

"M-my name….is N-Naruto…"

A harsh cracked stutter was all Naruto could manage. His voice became incredibly sore it felt as if it caught on fire; the burning crawled to each and every potential area of his esophagus. He reacted to the burning by grasping at his throat as he flinched, his eyes shut tight. All this was taking a toll on Naruto's body, the feeling of passing out crept upon him once again. So much discomfort and turmoil was new even to Naruto, it seemed nothing could begin to compare with this agony.

Pein nodded in response followed by complete silence. He knew he would get all the information on this boy in due time, but for now this Naruto character looked as though he was barely hanging in there. A large hand was brought up to Naruto's soft golden blonde locks as he patted his head for comfort. But instead of comfort a wince and subtle whelp of hurt cried out. A serious look took over Pein's face (like it already wasn't serious enough) and he swiftly rose and headed out the doorway in a rather fast pace. Barely conscious Naruto didn't realize the stranger had left the room leaving him all by himself. If it wasn't for the fact that he was basically immobile he would have just made a run for it, but for what reason? It wasn't like Naruto had a home he could run to take refuge in. he would be out in the world all by his lonesome, at least now he had some company that didn't know who he really was. Usually around this time Naruto would be on the run for his life like usual; life's same cruel reality.

A minute flew by before Pein re-entered the grey room with quite a small fancy and finely detailed bottle which looked ancient. And inside the little glass bottle was a neon greenish liquid substance. This grabbed Naruto's undivided attention. His eyes grew wider in curiosity but there was no way he was drinking any of that unknown shit.

"Relax; this is just medicine to calm your body. It will put you to sleep while slowly healing you from the inside out. Sasori knows his shit when it comes to crating and mixing his potions so you'll just have to trust me."

Pein sat back down on the bed, a bit closer to Naruto than he had been beforehand. He held up the small vile to Naruto and waited for the boy to take it from him. Then it occurred to him, how was the other going to grab the thing? He couldn't really move his arms at all. After re-thinking this Pein decided it was more practical to pour it into Naruto's mouth with his own hand. So Pein inched the stuff closer to the sickly boys' lips but instead of drinking it like Pein had planned, he just growled at it. His lips slammed shut as he swung his head from side to side, accidently knocking the vile out from Pein's hand. This wasn't a problem though; with his cat-like reflexes he caught it immediately. Naruto's childish behavior started to irritate Pein to no end. His eyebrow twitched and his face transformed from almost concerned to plain pissed. He took a breather and sighed heavily while shaking his head, laying his head in his palms to think. There was only one way this brat was going to accept this medicine but he would have to resort to forceful measures.

Putting the vile to his lips he tilted his head allowing the liquid to drain into his mouth. Throwing the bottle onto the floor Pein pushed both his hands on each side of Naruto's head. The pillow was soaked from the sweat and tears from Naruto but he just ignored it and continued. He moved until he now hovered over the boy's body then leaned in even closer, closing the gap between their faces as quickly as possible. Medicine wasn't supposed to taste good everybody knew that, but the taste of this potion was unbearable and possibly why the blonde had refused it. It definitely tasted as bad as it smelled.

Right when Naruto processed what was unfolding right from on top of him it was too late. As Naruto opened his mouth to object Peins smooth lips were gently placed onto his, taking this opportunity to slip the medicine into Naruto. His tongue slowly pushed out the liquid then flicked up against Naruto's tongue with his own, encouraging him to lap up the bitter medicine from his mouth. A shiver shot down his spine as the medicine slide down his throat, the strange sensation causing him to let out a small groan. The subtle noise perked Peins interest. He reacted by taking his right hand and running his slender fingers through the blondes hair while tugging at it, all the while still keeping a good grip on his lips. After a couple seconds in this position the orange haired man finally allowed them to part lips, licking the runaway liquid that dribbled down Naruto's chin.

Pein was sure he wasn't 'into men'. Everyone in general pissed him in one way or the other, so naturally speaking no one was worth his attention. But looking down at the flushed, panting boy trembling from below him made Pein feel strange. Going through all his options he chose the most logical explanation; he must have been genuinely concerned. Coming to these terms in itself came as a shock to Pein. what made him feel so much for this bratty kid? His gut instincts told him he would eventually find out. So Pein stood up and off the bed once again to take his leave in silence.

Naruto became drowsy as the walls became distorted. They spun in circles all around him.

Everything up until this moment seemed so surreal, more so like a nightmare than a dream. A dream would not consist of such pain, suffering and confusion. Dreams were blissful and kind and this wasn't either of them.

Finally after a while of thoughts similar to this Naruto's thoughts grew blank and pain subsided as he started to fall into a deep slumber, a satisfied grin forming his lips. Sleep was going to feel as fantastic as the suns beautiful rays shining in the coolness of autumn. All went black once more as Naruto slipped, finally, into a deep and comfortable sleep.
