I'm Sorry, Sasuke.

Chapter 7.

"How do you know so much about self harm?" He asks me.

I simply smile at him.

———————————————————————————

I break away from the hug, grabbing my own food and sitting down next to Naruto. He gives me a concerned glance. I ignore his staring and simply beckon him to eat. The blonde shakes his head at me in a way that shows his unpleased by me not being open about stuff.
"So, what would you like to do today? We could go to the park and hangout. Maybe get ice cream while we're at it?" I list off things we could do, trying to change the subject. Naruto brightens up, smiling and nodding his head viciously.
"After that, we should watch a scary movie together!" Naruto beams at me. I smile and nod my head letting out a simple hum of approval. We finish up in the kitchen and freshen up, heading towards the door. Before we exit the house, I grab a coffee for myself. Because, obviously, the dobe doesn't need any caffeine.
Naruto runs up to me as I make my leave, heading for the sidewalk. He moves my arm and interlaces his with my own. I look down at him in bewilderment, and he simply smiles back up at me. What a cheery mood he's in today.
We walk down to the park, taking our time in order to spend more time in each others presence. We may be spending every day with each other for a few weeks, but he has an odd calming effect on me, so I don't mind sticking close.
"Look over there! It's the ice cream stand! I'll race you to it!!" The blonde says as he takes his head start.
"Wait! It's dangerous, don't run!" I yell out, but he's already either too far ahead of me or ignored my warning. Whatever the reason, he continues to run. Ahead of him? A puddle.
I bolt to catch up with him, reaching out my hand. My fingers slither onto his arm, yanking him back, saving him from slipping on the puddle. He looks at me wide eyed as I try to stop my speed, but cannot. The puddle is too close, so I just let it happen.

Everything goes black.

Sa..

Sasu...

Sasuke?

EY, SASUKE. I CAN SEE YOUR EYES ARE OPEN.
STOP SCARING ME AND GET UP.

"What?" I mumble, everything around me spinning in a blur.
"Damn, did you hit your head that hard? What were you even thinking grabbing onto me at those speeds? You basically made falling for yourself inevitable! Does your head hurt? You don't have a concussion, so you?" Naruto rambles.
Me, being fed up with the fox's rant, get up, holding my head with a low groan.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm alright, Dumbass. Let's go get ice cream now" I say with a smirk.
"Yeah! Ice cream!" The blond sports a huge smile.

"You're the one that slipped on the puddle. I'd say you're the dumbass."

Eyyyy, I've had this one in my drafts for a while. I don't really like this chapter, but here, have this.
