Chapter 2, “Vulnerable”
Sasuke loitered in his absurdly pricey car under Naruto’s
complex. Irritably, he changed from one song to the other, almost breaking the
buttons of his CD player. He would barely hear the first note only to zip to
the next song.
He hissed, and started tapping his fingers. The raven glared at
an old woman who approached his car, and then at everyone within sight. Then he
tapped his fingers once more.
That wasn’t like him. That wasn’t like an Uchiha. He detested
himself for being so… so frail. He spat at himself; why couldn’t he find the
guts to just drop by Naruto’s?!
I should just leave! This is idiotic! He grumbled.
_*_*_*_*_
The Uchiha stood in the corridor infront of Naruto’s
apartment. Gladly, the blonde’s residence had a window just next to the wooden
door, allowing for Sasuke to sneak a peek.
A small gap was left open; Sasuke could easily squeeze a hand
in and push the curtain out of the way. Remarkably, he had a clear view of
Naruto’s bedroom. Sasuke’s eyes concentrated, and soon he noticed a figure
lying in bed.
I should come back when he is awake!
The raven was about to jump on the excuse and leave, but something
inside of him clicked. He heaved a deep sigh, as he positioned himself directly
infront of the door.
Do it!
He rang the bell once.
No answer. He guessed Naruto was a heavy sleeper.
Chime
When no answer was received, he started peeking again from
the window. The body laid in bed completely still. Sasuke gulped, horrible scenarios
flashing through his mind.
Chime Chime Chime
A mouse of wrestle started crawling within Sasuke. May be…
May be a thief jumped through the window and killed him, God knows it was easy
enough. Perhaps he overdosed, who knew what kind of medications Naruto was on
anyway. Sasuke started fisting the door knob violently, as all the worse scenarios
brought dread to his heart.
_*_*_*_*_
“Oh God! Is something wrong?” An incredibly dazed Naruto
tensed. His eyes were wide open from shock, but his vision was still fuzzy from
deep slumber.
“You are okay!” Sasuke stated the obvious.
“W-w-what’s going on? Why are you here?”
Naruto noticed the other’s lips moving, but he couldn’t hear
any sound. He closed his eyes trying to gather himself, and sighed. Leisurely,
he took of the foam ear plugs out.
“Sasuke, what are you doing here?”
“Ear-plugs…” Sasuke exclaimed with an appalled. Oh God, he overreacted! And Uchiha’s weren’t
supposed overreact!
“They are demolishing a building near by. Why are you here?”
“I though you were… sick so I-”
“Wait. Um- how did you get in?” Naruto banged against his forehead
with wrist. He always got the worse headaches when roused in this sort of
way.
“About that… I will pay for the repairs s-”
“What! What the hell did you do!” The Uzumaki snapped,
raising his voice to an earsplitting degree.
“Dope, I was worried about you so just shut up!” Sasuke
blushed at the revelation. Yet, Naruto didn’t detect the pinkish tint allowing
the raven to save face.
“Who told you to worry about me?!” The blond reprimanded. The
Uchiha had officially gone to an unsurpassed extent of being a damn prissy
bigoted bastard.
“I will pay for the door-”
“Teme, I could have you locked up you know! This is breaking
and entering!”
“You are the one who is just asking people to break in!” Sasuke
knew how absurd he sounded, but he had nothing else in mind to say.
“How! How! How c-c- you are a bastard!”
“By having a freaking open window for anyone to break in from,
that’s how! Put some metal bars, you idiot!” Sasuke faked a serious expression.
“None of your fucking business!”
“Is that how you repay someone who could have saved your
lif-”
“Shut up! I don’t need you looking after me!”
“You need someone-”
“Fuck! You bigot! Arrogant bastard! Just get the fuck away
from me!”
Sasuke twitched. He struggled to compose himself. He spoke quietly,
“Fine. I will leave as soon as I get the door fixed-”
(A.N. he broke the door, because the slide window didn’t open
enough for him to enter. I didn’t think I needed to extend the scene to explain
that.)
“Just leave the money on the dresser.” Naruto’s voice was
lower, but more upset and irate. He looked away from the raven, as flashbacks
swarmed through his mind.
“Get some metal bars. Any burglar could just break the glass
and-”
“Like hell I will.”
“Naruto-”
“Fuck off.”
_*_*_*_*_
Sasuke stood smirking as the handy man did his thing. The old
geezer would occasionally peek at Sasuke, and wonder about the reason behind
the triumphed look the boy wore.
The man’s head snapped when loud cussing chants coming from inside
the apartment recommenced.
“Are you sure this is okay?” He asked the raven.
“Yes. Didn’t we already reach an arrangement?”
“I know you agreed to pay me double, but your boyfriend seems
really upset. One thing that I have learned in my thirty years of marriage-”
“Just finish your work,” Sasuke cut him off.
_*_*_*_*_
Naruto sat on his wheelchair, jerking his body back and forth
fiercely. “Just you wait until I get this broomstick out of the wheels! I am
going to shove it up your ass, and out of your fucking throat. You fuck!”
The blond tried to bend over, and pull the broomstick wedged
through the wheels out. His face was red from fury. And although Sasuke might
have not realized it, deep down Naruto felt like crying. He felt helpless. He
hated the feeling. He spent all of his life trying to be independent… and now… that
jerk!
Suddenly, Naruto heard a familiar voice.
“Help! Iruka sensei, Help!”
In a matter of seconds, the concerned older man stood infront
of him.
“Sensei! He broke in, and kidnapped me! He is holding me
hostage! God only knows what this pervert is planning to do to me! Call the
police!” The tanned boy screamed, although the man was close enough to even
hear whisper.
“Relax, Naruto.” Iruka sigh. He recognized Sasuke. He used to
have him in one of his classes when the raven was just nine years old.
Therefore, he doubted that Sasuke meant any harm.
Sasuke walked in, and stood behind Iruka. Suddenly, the
spatula flew towards his face. He dodged it easily, “Dope! Why did you do that?”
“Why! Why!” Naruto squeaked. “You captor!”
“Naruto, I doubt that Sasuke has bad intentions. Captors
don’t usually install window guards for their victims-”
“He has you fooled! He is doing it to jail me in!”
Iruka sighed once more, and bent down to remove the broomstick.
“I will get this out now. Promise me you won’t attack Sasuke if I do.”
“Fine sensei,” he glared at Sasuke who stared back at him
unruffled.
“Here we go-”
The instant the brunette removed the stick; Naruto was
attempting to wipe the smirk off the raven’s face using a variety of kitchen utensils.
_*_*_*_*_
Naruto looked away from Sasuke as he finished the last of his
ramen. He tuned out the conversation his sensei and the bastard were having.
“So you home school Naruto…”
“Yeah, for a few years now,” Iruka smiled kindly. “I am glad
he made a friend at the school, since he will be attending there starting next
semester.”
Sasuke nodded. The summer holyday was almost over, so Naruto
was going to attend his school in a matter of a week or two. He glanced at the
wall decorated with photos of Naruto’s friends. The blond wasn’t in dire need
for one more without doubt.
When Naruto was gone to the kitchen, Sasuke allowed himself
to be bolder. “I am sure he has a lot of friends.”
Iruka smiled softly. Yet, the smile carried an air of sorrow.
“Friends? I guess.”
Sasuke resisted the urge to question Iruka’s reaction, and
continued; “I was wondering... what happened…?”
“I am sure he will tell you when he is ready for you to
know.”
“Hn.”
Moments of awkward silence followed. Iruka eventually decided
to break the silence, “I am glad someone got him to set up a window-protector.
I have been nagging him to get it ever since he moved here.”
“Its nothi-”
“But Sasuke…”
“Yes?”
“Naruto doesn’t like to be forced into receiving support. Just
let him ask for it next time. I… I struggled with this before. I just wanted to
do everything for him… but one day I realized, I wasn’t doing him any favors.”
“I know.”
“And… although he wouldn’t admit it… its very stressful being
under the mercy of others.” Iruka was insinuating for Sasuke how what he did
today was unforgivable.
“I know. I am sorry.”
“Iruka sensei, do you want me to pay your electric bill
tomorrow. I am going to pay mine anyway?” Naruto entered the room.
“I already did, but thanks.”
“No biggy!”
The three of them sat on the carpeted floors for hours. As
tense air vanished gradually, they started enjoying their time. Even though Sasuke
and Naruto would never admit it, they enjoyed each other’s company.
“Oh, wow! I can’t believe it’s almost midnight. I should go. I have work tomorrow. Plus, Naruto
is already sleeping.” Iruka said.
The raven looked onto his lap where the slumbering Naruto’s
head rested. The pale boy smiled reflecting on how peaceful Naruto looked
asleep compared to how mischievous he was when awake. Plus, he knew that the
golden headed boy wasn’t going to be too pleased when he would remember that he
slept on Sasuke’s lap. The boy smirked sinfully.
“You go. I will put him in bed,” The raven offered. Iruka
complied without hesitation.
_*_*_*_*_
The elevator stopped at Sasuke’s penthouse’s floor. As soon
as the door opened, he saw a pale boy asleep infront of his door on the ground.
Neji had been waiting for Sasuke for hours worrying that the
raven was still upset from what happened a few days ago. Sasuke wasn’t the same
ever since the day he stood him up while they were supposed to go to the movies
together. His uncle had called on him for an emergency family meeting, and he
thought Sasuke would understand. Yet, something was off with his baby.
Sasuke hissed. He grumbled at the thought of carrying Neji to
the bed room, and having him spend the night.
Suddenly, it hit him. He didn’t hesitate to carry the
sleeping Naruto, but he was hesitating when it came to the Hyuga. He was
wavering when it came to the boy who had given him everything; his virginity,
his love, and his devotion. Guild flooded his veins as he imagined how Neji
used to rest his head on his lap, just like Naruto did that night, and let
Sasuke play with his long dark stands of hair.
He bent down, and planted a kiss on the cold cheek. Then
again, it hit him. Naruto was warmer then Neji. Much warmer. He didn’t consider
that Naruto was in the privacy of his own home when he touched him, while Neji
had been waiting for hours in the cold. When the thought passed his mind, he
felt another tang of guilt shoot up his spine.
_*_*_*_*_
Neji stretched his arms relishing the warmth. He smiled
seeing the blurry figure that stood infront of him as he opened his eyes.
“Good morning, baby.”
“Good morning to you to,” Sasuke smiled. “I found you sleeping
on my door step last night. Your uncle with me furious when he realizes you
spent the night-”
“It was worth seeing your smile!” Neji blushed at how sappy
he sounded. Yet, seeing Sasuke smile was worth it. It was worth the horror his
brutal uncle was going to put him through.
“Where is your keychain?” The Uchiha asked, searching Neji’s
pants which he had removed last night.
“In the back pocket. Do you need something?”
“Hn.”
Neji’s eyes fixated on Sasuke in shock as the raven added the
penthouse key to the rest of Neji’s. Sorrowfully, he didn’t know that Sasuke
was motivated by guilt.
“Sasuke, are you sure?” Although they had been together for
two years, Sasuke never showed any interest in taking their relationship to the
next level.
“Next time, don’t sleep on the doorstep. You could have caught
a cold,” Sasuke stated in a monotone voice.
The look on Neji’s face… how bright it shined in happiness…
Sasuke felt at fault again.
“I will prepare breakfast.” Neji grinned.
_*_*_*_*_
Naruto woke up. Just like Neji, he stretched. He would have
liked to spend a few more minutes being lethargic while laying in bed, but his
bladder was starting to itch. He sat up, and looked to the side where his
wheelchair should be parked-
He frowned. Fuck! He couldn’t remember who carried him
to bed yesterday. It must have been Sasuke, since Iruka wouldn’t have forgotten
to park the wheelchair next to bed. Now, how was he supposed to get out of bed?!
He tried to remain as composed as possible. Gladly, his
mobile was in reach. He started searching through his phonebook for someone to call.
Iruka sensei has his summer school. I can’t ask him to come.
He kept scrolling down. Then, he realized that he had no one
to call. He felt tears build up in his eyes, but shrugged then off. He was much
stronger than to cry over such a trivial matter.
He glanced at the distance between the mattress and the rough
stiff floor. He gulped. He should have listened to his sensei when he advised
him to buy another bed that was closer to the ground.
He figured he would probably break a rib or two taking that
fall, but it was much better than someone finding him drenched in his urine. He
would never be able to live through such a humiliation.
He started reaching for the floor-
Bang
He plummeted on the ground full force. His lips widened in a
silent gasp of pain. He held his shoulder and groaned.
“Damn. Damn. Damn!”
He probably dislocated his shoulder so he couldn’t crawl to
the bathroom. He reached for his mobile with his other hand, and started
scrolling down.
Sasuke… I should call him. It’s his fault anyway.
He didn’t want to plead for the Uchiha’s help, but what other
option did he have?
