Sasuke wadded up Naruto’s note and threw it across his room.
“Gahh!” He yelled to the empty room. “What the hell is wrong with him!”
He stood up, but could barely stay on his feet. His head was spinning, and he felt sick. ‘I must have lost a lot of blood,’ he thought, laying back down and closing his eyes. Before long, he had fallen asleep.
When he woke up again, it was dark. He was sweating, but very cold. He sat up slowly and looked around. His clock said it was after 8 pm. He had been asleep all day. That meant he had missed his meeting with Team 7, but nobody had even come by to make sure he was alright. Naruto had probably covered for him. He dragged himself up, his legs shaking. He was so weak still, he could barely walk. He made it into his bathroom and got a glass of water. He brought it up to his lips and drank the cool water, soothing his hot throat. After he had finished the glass, he set it down and looked in the mirror. The bandage on his throat was still white, so at least the bleeding had really stopped.
Sasuke turned to walk out of the bathroom and was suddenly light-headed. He heard a knocking noise from inside his head and he thought it would explode soon. He fell to his hands and knees and was sick. He closed his eyes tightly and tried to crawl away from the mess. The knocking was getting louder and things were beginning to swim in his vision. He made it out into the hallway, and then everything went dark.
“Come on Sasuke-kun, wake up.”
“He can’t hear you Sakura-chan.”
“How do you know Naruto?”
“You two give it a rest!”
“Fine Tsunade baa-san.” He heard Naruto say.
He opened his eyes, and saw that he was in a white room. A hospital room. He looked through squinted eyes at everyone in his room. Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi, and Tsunade. He took a deep breath and everyone looked his direction. He opened his eyes all the way and saw everyone staring at him warily.
“Welcome back, Sasuke-kun.” Sakura said with a small smile.
“How did I get here?” He asked. He sat up, and found that he felt much better, although he was still trying to get used to the bright lights.
“Naruto brought you here,” Tsunade said. “And I administered immediate medical attention. What the hell happened to your neck?”
“Naruto did?” Sasuke said, looking at the blonde, who looked at him for a second, then looked out the window. “I was practicing my taijitsu, and I went through the window at my house.” He said, coming up with the lie quickly enough to worry him. This covered up for the window Naruto had shattered as well.
“The window huh?” Tsunade said, her eyes boring into his. She didn’t seem satisfied, but she let it go. “I guess you learned your lesson about practicing in the house right?”
“Yes, Tsunade-sama.” Sasuke mumbled, looking back at Naruto. The blonde looked at him questioningly, apparently wondering why he had lied about the wounds and the window. Sasuke gave him a long look and then closed his eyes, hoping that Naruto would get the hint.
“Alright, well I guess we can all leave then.” Kakashi said, apparently getting the hint before everyone. Sasuke opened his eyes and saw the blonde walking toward the door with the rest of them. He rolled his eyes out of instinct.
“Naruto, could you stay here, I would like to talk to you.” He said quietly. He watched as his rival jumped at the sound of his voice.
“Sasuke, I am really busy.” Naruto said, not really looking at him. “I have training to d...”
“This will only take a second.”
Naruto sighed and turned to come back, letting Sakura shut the door quietly behind her.
‘Naruto,” Sasuke started, but the blonde came forward and cut him off.”
“Why did you keep it quiet?” He asked. “I should be locked away for what I did to you!”
“Do you want me to tell Tsunade what really happened?”
“Well, no...but why are you even talking to me still?”
“Because I know that what happened wasn’t your fault.” Sasuke said simply. “Because I am smart enough to know when it is you and when it is the Kyuubi no Kitsune.”
“But you never know when it will come out again when we are...alone.” Naruto said, his eyes looking haunted.
At these words, Sasuke smiled. “Isn’t it exciting?” He said before he had the chance to think about it.
“What?!” Naruto said angrily, “This isn’t something that should be played with! What if I really hurts you next time?”
“I am willing to take that chance Naruto,” Sasuke said, shrugging. “Besides, what if it doesn’t?”
The blonde seemed to think about it for a minute, and he shrugged, although his face still showed signs of uncertainty.
“Alright Sasuke, but if it hurts you again, I will make sure it can never hurt anyone again. I know you know what I mean.”
Sasuke’s heart skipped a few beats at this. He didn’t want to think of life without Naruto. He couldn’t even imagine it.
“Don’t say things like that Naruto.” He said then. “Ever.”
The blonde looked at him, and Sasuke could see that he was completely serious.
“Don’t worry, my Naru.” Sasuke said, shortening the name the way he had always wanted to. “You won’t hurt me again.”
Naruto walked to him then, and stood on the edge of the bed. He sat down by Sasuke’s hip, and then lay down on the older teen’s chest.
“I was really worried when I found you like that.” He said, snuggling into Sasuke’s chest. Sasuke wrapped an arm around his back. “I knocked on your door forever, and when you didn’t answer, I got scared and picked the lock. Then when I saw you...I thought you were dead.”
“It takes more than that to kill me Dobe.”He said with a small chuckle.
“I like Naru better.” The blonde said, making them both laugh.
Although it hurt a bit to laugh, hearing Naruto laugh made Sasuke feel better. They lay in that position for a few more minutes, before Naruto got up and helped Sasuke sit up again.
“Are you ready to go?” He asked.
“Am I alright to go?” Sasuke asked, gingerly touching his bandages.
“Yeah, she said you could leave when you woke up.” Naruto informed him.
“Well then, let’s go...” He said, standing up and stretching his arms above his head. He saw Naruto looking at his now slightly exposed stomach, and he smiled again, knowing he would be doing the same thing in the opposite situation.

“Do you really think this is going to work?” Naruto asked, looking up at Sasuke.
“I don’t see why not.”
“It is going to be a hard thing to hide you know.”
“Yeah, I know Naru, but I think it will be alright.”
“Yeah, I suppose so.”
Sasuke tugged gently on the short blonde locks. Naruto closed his eyes and sighed gently, apparently enjoying the tugs. They were sitting on Sasuke’s couch, and Naruto was laying his head on the older boy’s lap as they chatted comfortably. Sasuke would run his fingers through the blonde’s hair every now and again, enjoying the chill that ran down his rival’s body at the touch.
“I don’t care if we don’t hide it you know.” He said, thinking out loud. “What could people really say?”
“There is a lot they could say Sasuke.”
“Yeah, but do you really care what they have to say?”
“Nah, not really. Anyone messes with me, and I will kick their butt!” Naruto said, and Sasuke could feel his body charge instantly with energy.
“Calm down Naru.” He said, gently massaging Naruto’s scalp. The blonde purred approvingly and Sasuke smiled. He closed his eyes and let his head rest against the couch. He didn’t know when sleep took him, but he could hear Naruto’s breathing on his lap, and he knew that he was already sleeping. It had been a long day for both of them, and it was alright to sleep this way just once. Right?
******
Sasuke woke up to find he was laying on the couch. The sun was just beginning to rise. He sat up and Naruto was no where to be seen. His heart fell and he felt deserted. Then he heard the toilet flush and he smiled. Naruto hadn’t left. The blonde came out into the living room and smiled sleepily itching his head.
“Bedroom?”
“Yes, please!”
Sasuke stood up, and Naruto grabbed his hand, lacing their fingers together. They walked into the bedroom and lay down, Naruto on Sasuke’s chest. Sasuke could feel the rise and fall of Naruto’s chest on his, and he could tell he was asleep. The older boy began to drift off as well before he thought of something which made him both smile, and worry.
“I called him my Naru.”

Which would mean I couldn’t write anymore *sobs* and I would be so creatively backed up I would explode. But hey, go ahead and sue me.
