Heals with time

Disclaimer: I don't own this and most likely never will.

Notes: I know it's been a while, but school has been tough, and I had been sick a while back for about a week. All better now though. SO I am hoping to finish this before my basketball season starts, after that I won't have the time of day!!!!! But never the less I will try.

The three teammates ate and reminisced of the first mission they ever had together, how Sasuke had helped them pass by telling Sakura to give Naruto food because he was no good to them starving. They all avoided their last mission at all cost, thinking it would make Naruto upset. After lunch they said their goodbyes and Sakura left to go home.

"Yea, I have to go, my mom will only think I am training for so long you know," Sakura said as she gave Naruto one more hug and left.

"Why do all the adults hate me? I really didn't do anything," Naruto whispered as he flopped down on the couch.

"So, um, Naruto, there isn't much to do, and don't even suggest training, you know that you can't for a while as your wounds heal," Sasuke said, watching Naruto's face light up and down in his one statement.

"I don't know," Naruto said yawning.

"I have an idea, I will clean up your pig sty and you can take a nap in your room okay?" Sasuke asked as he pointed to Naruto's half opened door.

"Okay, I guess, don't make it too neat though, I am not into that neat freak sort of style," Naruto said before yawning and shuffling off to his room.

As Naruto slept Sasuke worked, and worked, and worked. "Man Naruto, when was the last time this was cleaned, the tenth century?" Sasuke said as he disgustedly cleaned the apartment.

Naruto's slumber was not to pleasant though, he dreamed of that night.

~*~DREAM~*~

The pain was unimaginable as the made rocked back and forth inside him.

Naruto couldn't even find his voice to scream anymore, he tried to, but his body refused to listen to him.

Another came up in front of him, "I repeat, where is Sasuke?" he asked as something was pushed against Naruto's lips.

"You have to kill me first," Naruto spat, all of a sudden his breathing path was cut off as something long and hard was pushed into his mouth, almost choking him.

~*~NARUTO'S HOUSE~*~

"You have to kill me first," Naruto mumbled in his slumber. Sasuke, who had been sleeping the dopes room over heard what eh said and turned his attention to him.

"Excuse me?" he said, as if the statement was directed at him.

"NO, I will never tell you," Naruto said again and then as if he was choking he started to cough. Not a normal cough, a cough that makes the other people in the room over their mouths as if afraid of your deadly germs.

Sasuke jumped to his side and picked his head up slightly and turning it to the side so if he threw something up with his violent coughs he wouldn't choke.

Naruto thrashed and threw his head around trying to get whoever's hands that were on his off and far away.

"Naruto, what's wrong, what's going on?" Sasuke asked, as he let his guard down Naruto threw a good punch and landed it on Sasuke's face sending him flying into his straightened bookshelf.

"NARUTO!!!!!" Sasuke yelled as he launched himself at Naruto and threw his body weight on him in an attempt to keep him self from himself.

Naruto's frightened eyes shot open and fell of Sasuke, who was currently sitting on his chest, both arms pinned in the air.

"Get off me," Naruto cried as he thrashed with tears in his eyes, he thought Sasuke was trying to take advantage of him.

Sasuke, seeing what Naruto had in mind flew of his frightened teammate and waited for him to calm down.

Naruto had a look of pure pain and entrust in his eyes, he couldn't comprehend the situation they had found themselves in. The thought of Sasuke sitting on him made his shiver.

"Naruto, it's not what you think, you don't understand, I didn't try anything with you, I was just trying to get you," Sasuke tried to explain but was cut off by Naruto abruptly.

"No, I don't want to hear what you had in store for me, they were right, I will never be Hokage. No one likes me, all they want is to use me, use my body. I a worthless insignificant speck on the planet and I shouldn't even have gotten this," Naruto said as he stormed up to his dresser and threw the forehead protector out the window.

Naruto sink to his knees in defeat, they had won; they broke his spirit in two.

"NO, Naruto, don't give in. You are not worthless; there are many people who will depend on you. I mean what about Sakura, Iruka, Kakashi, and Me! Don't you dare even think about leaving us? Iruka would be heartbroken; you are like a son to him God damn-it. Stop thinking of only yourself you selfish little jerk. Sakura would cry and our team would be broken, even I would hurt because of it!" Sasuke exclaimed as he tried once more to approach his grief stricken teammate.

"Do you mean it, you would care if I died, if there was nothing left and I took the easy way out. If I jumped off a cliff or stabbed myself with a kunai. You would care?" Naruto asked his eyes watered, red, and puffy from crying.

"Yes, you dummy, I may mock you but it's funny to see your reaction. If you didn't react the way you do I wouldn't do it because it wouldn't be amusing," Sasuke said attentively, not wanted to send him into another fit of hysteria.

He didn't expect what did happen. In a fit of happiness Naruto threw his arms around Sasuke and caught him in a bone crushing hug.

"Thanks Sasuke, you really brightened up my day," Naruto said as he once again felt the now too familiar moistness in his eyes.

"Why are you crying Naruto, is everything alright, are you hurt?" Sasuke asked he had forgotten about the doctors strict orders that he was suppose to be in bed or taking it very easy.

"It hurts a little, but that's not why I am crying. I am crying because for the first time in fourteen years, I am wanted, I am really wanted," he clutched Sasuke tighter, forgetting about his own pain.

Sasuke pulled out of the grasp in order to order Naruto back in bed. Naruto complied but on one condition.Sasuke had to stay with him.
