-Any news?- Gaara came up to him.
-No...doctors don't say anything...
-I brought you some clothes for change.
-But those are your clothes- he looked at Gaara. Gaara's eyes were filled with sorrow and sadness.
-You can give them back whenever...-
Hours passed. Gaara had to go back home. Sasuke stayed till late at the corridor. He waited. Doctors looked at him with a pity since he seemed very worried. They were whispering about him. Nurses were feeling sorry for him.
Till finally a man in white apron came up him.
-Everything will depend on the next few hours.
***
Is this heaven? it's so bright here...
Uhh. Hurts. If I was dead, it wouldn't hurt, right?
Warm. It's pleasantly warm here.
Where am I?
I was at school the last time...
The memories of the last words he heard...the ones that seemed like the last words, was a love confession...And the black eyes. Black eyes filled with tears.
Naruto gently turned his head to the side. "He" was kneeling down by the hospital bed. With his head lying on his arms- he slept. His eyes had dark rings around them. He looked pale. But he was by his side. A moment later the doctors came inside. They examined Uzumaki. They told Sasuke to leave for a second.
Then it was quiet again, when doctors left he came back. Blue swollen eyes with dark circles were looking at the trembling Uchiha. Sasuke kneeled down.
-I'm so glad. I'm so...glad...I'm glad...
-Sasuke...
-I was worried, I was scared...I couldn't imagine the fact that you could be...could be...- his voice broke down.
-Sta...stand...
-Forgive me Naru-chan. Forgive me...
-I love you...- Naruto's reply completely thrown Sasuke off. He was looking as if he wanted to ask "why", and his blue eyes even if tired, they sparkled with happiness again.
-Don't leave me ever again Naruto. I will never let anything bad happen to you again. I will always be by your side. Always. Just don't leave me.- Sasuke kissed Naruto's pale hand, and he had no intention of letting it go...
***
-Your son...- The doctor looked at them with a serious face, and then he looked at his notes.- is in room number 23. I will lead you there in a second.
-He's alive! Ohh...alive- Kushina cried, but Minato didn't know if it was from happiness, or from the fact that their son attempted to kill himself, or maybe both were the reason? She cried even more when she saw him through the glass window on the wall. He was gently smiling to that black-haired boy that she has seen before. Minato wanted to come inside, but Kushina stopped him.
She wiped her tears and she said quietly.
-Be nice to him and his boyfriend.
-What are you suggesting?- replied Namikaze after a moment of thinking.
-The one with black hair is your son's boyfriend. They are together for a while now.- said Kushina slowly and clearly.
-Ho..hon...honey...- Minato became pale
-Stop it. Your son was just looking for a fatherly love, which he wouldn't find in any girl, but he would in a guy like Sasuke - Kushina looked with satisfaction at her son and Uchiha. Later terrified at her husband.- dear what are you doing?
-Committing seppuku.
-With a fork?- Kushina pointed at the fork that he held in his hand.
-Yes...I will leave this world with an honour.
-Stop joking around, ok?
-But Ushi-chan, women are beautiful and great! They have many good attributes and so on! My porns were disappearing from my drawer. Why is he gay?- Minato hugged his wife's breasts while whining. Mr. Minato was a terrible father because he had one problem. He couldn't talk with his son. Plus he was a workaholic. Those were the main reasons, why he was becoming distant from his family. But now they have an occasion to be together again...just like before.
Without second thoughts they entered the room, in which Naruto was lying. Minato got a closer look at Sasuke, then his son. Only Kushina knew how to relax the atmosphere.
-Honey, I'm sorry that we couldn't come earlier. Together with your father we were on delegation. Forgive us.- her eyes were filled with tears again.- forgive...
Sasuke felt uneasy. Naruto should spend as much time as he can with his parents.
-I will go now...I'm not needed here any more.- he smiled nervously.
-Sasuke-chan thank you for being with him this whole time.- Kushina slightly bended her head as a thank you to young member of Uchiha family.
-There's no need to thank me. I even think that I should apologize...and I'm going now.
-Do you think that I will let you go in such condition? No, no! I will give you a lift home.
-But Naruto...- Sasuke tried to avoid going with Mrs Kushina.
But he can't escape that woman.
-Come with me!
-But Naruto should be with his closest people now!
-He should talk to his father first, and I shouldn't get involved...
-But...but!
Even after his complains Kushina still kidnapped the boy. Naruto didn't even know how to start the conversation with his father...and if he can even call him a father. Same questions were on Minato's mind...
***
Sasuke was looking out of the car's window. He was staring at the trees and other cars.
-Do you know maybe, why Naruto tried to kill himself?- Sasuke's body became stiff just from hearing that question.
-It's my fault...
-Yours?- Kushina took a closer look at his worried face that was reflecting in the car's mirror.- tell me about it, maybe you will feel better.
-But, but.
-No need to be shy, I know already that you are together- Kushina smiled.
-But how?
-It's impossible to hide something from a woman, especially when it's about her son. Tell me.- Sasuke after thinking about it and even if he felt a lump in his throat, he began telling her.
-Naruto met his old friend. I have to admit that he belonged to a group of "beautiful men". And he...that friend forced Naruto into kissing him. I saw that ,but I looked at it differently, as if Naruto was cheating on me. Naruto tried to apologize, but my stupid pride didn't let me listen to him. To annoy him I started meeting up with a girl. It must had hurt him, and I was stupid for trying to make it hurt even more.- Sasuke's eyes got wet.- Then that guy came to me, and explained that I was wrong. Explained that he forced Naruto. That it wasn't Naruto's fault. He told me to talk to him, because he was scared that Naruto could do something to himself. But when I tried to talk to him...Naru-chan didn't want to any more. I have hurt him too much. We had a fight. Not for the first time. And he...he...- Sasuke wasn't able to carry on talking, because his tears didn't let him.
He was scared.
He was worried about Naruto.
He was angry at himself.
He was afraid to hear what Kushina will say.
-Naruto is alive. You know, I'm not angry at you. After this accident you surely found out how much you mean to each other, right? Will you be together now? Will you be happy?- Sasuke looked surprised at Kushina - Did Naruto forgive you?
-He forgave me. But I don't think that I will ever forgive myself.
-Time will make the pain and suffering fade. I will pray for your happiness.
-Thank you.
-Ah, Sasuke tell me one more thing. What's the name of that guy who forced a kiss on my poor Naruto? - Kushina was surrounded by a killing Aura.
-Kushina-sama?!- Sasuke whined from fear...
***
-Take care of yourself! Sleep well! Thank you a lot!- Sasuke bended towards Kushina to show respect. He hesitantly opened the doors to his house. He was feeling down.
Suddenly all the members of Uchiha family ran up to him.
-Sasuke! Where were you!?
-What happened to you!? Where have you been?! Why didn't you come home at night?! - A lot of questions coming from his dad, mother, sister and brother. While he only quietly went upstairs to his room.
-Forgive me, I'm very tired. I was by my boyfriend's side at the hospital. He tried to commit suicide...-he vanished behind the doors to his room. All the Uchiha members got quiet, they couldn't believe in what they just heard.
Even if young Uchiha was tired he decided to eat supper with his parents. After taking few steps downstairs he began to regret it. The atmosphere was tense. Everyone ate in silence. Eventually Sasuke's father decided to say something.
-Ehmm. Son. What you had just told us today was rather shocking. After talking to your mother, we have decided that your happiness is the most important.- after hearing those words Mikoto smiled at Sasuke and she winked.- but I hope that the rest of you, my dear kids will give me joy from having grandsons, huh?
-Then I have to find myself a girlfriend?- Itachi began thinking.- Don't even dare to hurt my Haku because I will kill you.- Sasuke threw a potato at Itachi.
-Woow! Are you crazy?! Faggot..
-Itachi!- their father looked at him in malicious way.
-Phy! Said the bisexual one...you shouldn't have played with his feelings!
-Sasuke are you implying that Itachi has a boyfriend- his mother began sweating.
-Aha! He does. His name is Haku. He's my age and he is very delicate and sensitive. He's going out with Itachi.- Itachi looked at him with a killing intent, and his younger brother just stuck out his tongue. Then he looked terrified at his pale father.
-Miku...I hope that you...- Father looked at her full of hope.
-Dad, unfortunately- Miku looked at her father - I got a boyfriend too, just like my brothers.
The family burst out laughing. Everything turned out well here...
***
-Naruto...why?
-I don't know myself...I just couldn't handle everything any more...you were never home, I didn't see mom too often either, things weren't well at school, and then later a "heartbreak".- Naruto tried to smile but he couldn't.
-Was it because of that guy, that just left...
-No...I did what I did, to escape the pain. I chickened out. I was afraid to handle everything.- Naruto looked at his father, who still haven't expressed any emotions.- I was just unbelievably scared. I wanted to turn away from the person whom I loved, and whom I fought with. You're never home, I haven't had anyone to turn to. I was scared...- Naruto looked at his bandages and a drip bag with blood.
-Naruto I'm sorry- Naruto looked at his father- you shouldn't call me your father any more...-Minato cried...he looked at his son's pale face and he cried. For the first time for so long, he hugged him...
-Dad...dad...
Kushina smiled to herself while looking at them through the window...
***
-Uhhh...hooooot. Uchiha only this heat is hotter than you are!
-Moron.
-But this camp is really a cool thing.- smiled Naruto
-By the way, what about your sessions with psychotherapist?
-They said that I'm rather well ,and they don't see a problem in letting me camping. So yes: Yayyy!
-Yea. Especially that we got a room together.
-No,ah! Stop it. Hahaha! It's tickling me! Hahaha!
-Do you like getting your neck licked that much?
-Sasuke hold your horses. We haven't even unpacked.
-We still got a whole night, right?
Sasuke kissed his cheek and he whispered "I love you".
Dear diary.
Slowly everything is falling into place. I'm happy that we are still together.
I don't know what the future will bring, but as long as he will be by my side I will be happy.
Actually I don't feel a need to run a diary any more. This is my last note.
I got parents who I eat dinner with. I can tell them my secrets and I can share my happiness with them. Dad is not reacting well to Sasuke, it's hard for him to get used to it, but it's fine. Sasuke also has trouble in getting along with my father. Maybe because they see "rivals" in each other?
I finally have a family. Love. Friends. I'm really happy...yes. Happy.
