Okay, last chapter. And unfortunately, last SasuNaru thing I'll write on this profile. This chapter is only up here because I have been forced at gunpoint to continue, but you can kill me next time, cuz this is the last chapter. The any more SasuNaru things I will be writing with 'We Luv Shonen-Ai' as joined fics'. Did I forget to mention that she helped me with this one too? Sorry!
Three months later.
Sasuke entered his and Narutos home, ungracefully. He was exhausted. A one man mission, to be completed in two days against three strong enemies, was not something to be looking forward to in the future.
He could actually feel his bones shake and creak with every step he took. It didn't help that he was covered in dried up sweat and blood so he reeked! And he hadn't slept since he started the mission. It was late at night right now, so Naruto was probably upstairs asleep, and Sasuke didn't want to wake him up with his horrible stink.
He went to the sitting room to drop off his weapons and rucksack and stuff, and then made his way upstairs, to the bathroom, to take a shower or bath, and then go up to Naruto.
Sasuke stripped down, until he was just in his boxers and filled the bath with hot water. It was probably a bad idea, but Sasuke was too tiered to think about it.
Sasuke slipped into the water, forgetting that he still had his boxers on.
About ten minutes into the bath, he started to lose consciousness and his eyes became heavy. He slipped further and further into the water.
But he was stopped before his mouth and nose went below the surface. Sasuke could feel someone slip into the bath beside him, and a whisper of "stupid bastard." Strong arms heaved his him out of danger, so only the bottom of his neck and down was under water. Sasuke tried to opened his eyes, but found them incredibly heavy.
"Stupid bastard," the boys' voice whispered in his ear again. Sasuke felt the very, very familiar touch of the boy, and he moved under the half asleep raven, so he could keep him from drowning. "What did you think you were doing, taking a bath in this state?! You could have at least made the water colder, not warm enough to lull you to sleep, you Teme. I swear to god, you call me stupid and loser and Dobe and all that jazz, but seriously, that was by far, the stupidest thing you could have done." Narutos voice took on a sadder tone "You could have killed yourself." Narutos arms tightened themselves around Sasuke. Sasuke tried to open his eyes again, but found he just didn't have the energy to. He felt really guilty and tried to say something, but all that came out was "s-nry", said in a very quiet voice.
"Shhh... don't talk. You can sleep now." Narutos hands made their way up to Sasukes shoulders and started to very gently massage them. Naruto made sure that Sasuke didn't sink by keeping Sasukes hips clamped in between his thighs.
Sasuke unwillingly, felt himself drift further and further into sleep, but refused to go all the way. He was at some kind of junction in between sleeping and waking. He rested his head against Narutos shoulder.
He only barely realised that he was being lifted out of the bath and placed onto a hard but soft surface and being wrapped up in the same type of fluffy and slightly ruff fabric. He was being lifted up and carried someplace. Sasuke just wanted to lose himself in the warmth and softness of the body carrying him. Why was he still fighting to stay awake again? Oh yeah...stubbornness. Well, screw stubbornness, Naruto was comfy.
All too soon, Sasuke felt the warmth recede as he was placed on an almost as comfy, but not quite as warm surface. Sasuke reached out and clung to Naruto with most of the strength he had left, which wasn't that much, so his hand slipped pretty soon. He could feel Naruto pull something over him, but he could also feel him move away and started to worry, when the other side of the bed was weighed down by Naruto sitting on it. Sasuke rolled over to face Naruto, finding enough energy to barely open his eyes. Sasuke realised that he was in their room and was buried under the covers. Naruto was sitting on the other side of the bed, his back facing Sasuke and towling-drying himself. Without looking at him, Naruto whispered
"You didn't give me any time to dry myself, I was too busy taking care of you. You know, you really should have slept on that mission. If you had, you might not have nearly killed yourself if I wasn't there." Naruto shuddered at the thought.
Sasuke felt another heavy wave of guilt wash over him again. He tried to reach out to Naruto but, again, found he didn't have the energy and his hand fell back onto the quilt with a soft 'thud'. Naruto turned at the sound of the 'thud'. He saw Sasukes hand on the quilt, as if he had been reaching for him and Sasuke was looking at him with guilt ridden eyes.
Naruto turned his whole body over and got under the covers. He pulled Sasuke closer to him and hugged him. Sasuke still looked incredibly guilty and a little angry at himself. Naruto pulled away and looked at Sasuke. He was fighting hard to stay awake. Naruto smiled and pulled Sasuke to him again. He planted a soft kiss on the other boys' lips before pulling him down to rest on his chest.
"Sasuke, go to sleep. Stop worrying about it. You're here, you're fine. But if you do anything like that again, I'll kill you myself." Naruto could feel Sasuke smile and relax into him.
Naruto woke up at, around noon and looked over at the calendar. July 24.
'Damn it, Sasuke.' Naruto looked down on the still sleeping raven wrapped around his waist 'You had to go and nearly kill yourself on yourbirthday!'
Naruto pulled out two chains he had hidden under his pillow. The chains were made of silver and hanging off the end of each of them were two pendants. Both the chains had the same two, connected together. One of the pendants was made of ruby gem, shaped in the form of the Uzumaki swirl, the other was ruby and diamond gems, shaped to make the Uchiha fan. Naruto put one around his neck and gently placed the other around Sasukes.
'The Bastard had better appreciate this. Took two months worth of A and B rank missions to pay for these. And even then I had to borrow money off Sakura.'
"Happy Birthday, Sasuke." Naruto said as he lay back down and went back to sleep with the still out-cold-Uchiha.
End!!!
