Feelings Without Memories ~A NaruSasu Love Story~

Chapter 1

It was just a small fall down the stairs.

But Uzumaki Naruto hit his head, and ended up temporarily losing his memories.

Uchiha Sasuke, his best friend since elementary school, rushed over to the hospital in a hurry when he heard the news from Kushina, Naruto's mother.

It wasn't a bad enough fall so he only had a sprained wrist. Though the hit to his head didn't have any cut, it was slightly swollen with a concussion, that resulted in the temporary memory loss.

It was recommended that he stays admitted in the hospital till he regains all his memories. Since the process of regaining it may result in severe headache and confusion, with chances of panic and hyperventilation being triggered as well.

(A/N : I apologize if any of the medical information don't make sense, please do excuse it and assume that it's possible in this fantasy world, thank you loads♡♥♡)

After hearing all this being explained by Minato, Naruto's father, Sasuke didn't know anymore if he should feel relieved or not.

He worriedly and hesitantly walked into the room his best friend was in.

And dreadfully looked at him, finding him blankly staring out the window instead of the ever goofy smile that he always saw on him.

Sasuke teared up uncharacteristicly and couldn't find it in himself to approach him anymore, even while knowing it was just temporary, many 'what if's flooded his mind, scaring the life out of him.

While he stood there by the door, tears flowing nonstop down his pale cheeks. Naruto slowly turned around when he slightly saw the reflection on the closed windows - though it wasn't really clear since it was still bright out.

"Uh... Are you okay?", Naruto asked Sasuke who was still silently weeping.

"...I should be asking you that, idiot ", Sasuke said through tears that seemed to spill endlessly.

Naruto slightly opened his mouth as if to answer him, then closed it soon after and looked away.

Just when Sasuke was about to worriedly apologize thinking he made him uncomfortable since he has no memories now, Naruto beat him to it.

"I'm sorry for worrying you, though I don't remember, I definitely don't want to see you cry like this" he said looking down, then looked up at him with a smile,  "won't you please tell me your name again?"

"..Uchiha Sasuke, I'm Uchiha Sasuke..!", he said taking a step forward.

"Sasuke...", Naruto smiled, gently whispering his name, "Could it be... That we are lovers..?"

Sasuke stoped right at the foot of his bed, going blank at the unexpected question, "...what makes you think that..?", he asked hesitantly after a few long seconds.

"Just... I feel like you are more special to me, than a friend, even though I don't remember you, my heart... It hurts to see you cry... And I really want to embrace you and hold you tightly in my arms", he said dazedly.

This would have been the most beautiful moment, if only they were actually lovers...

"That...", Sasuke was afraid that telling him the truth might affect him negatively when he's already in a weakened state, so he lied, "That's right... We are lovers...", looking down with tear stained cheeks.

"I see..!", Naruto grinned brightly, "I'm glad I got it right! I ended up saying all that but it later flashed to me that maybe it was one sided on my part and I ended up confessing without knowing that", he laughed, relived.

'Bingo', Sasuke thought to himself but didn't say anything out loud, he just smiled lightly.

"Hey, cheer up already, I'm doing just fine", Naruto smiled goofily. It was the smile that Sasuke was most used to seeing.

Nothing mattered anymore. Best friends? Lovers? He could care less about any of it. All that mattered was that Naruto hadn't lost that stupid goofy smile of his.

Sasuke cried more, but smiled as he did.

Naruto lifted his arm with the sprained wrist since the other one was still connected to an I.V ,and smiled as if asking for a hug.

Sasuke wiped his cheeks, smiling and walked over slowly, to give the hug that he wants.

It was just a light, gental embrace, but Sasuke couldn't help but think that it might've been the first time they've ever hugged properly in this way, even after knowing each other for all these years.

He smiled to himself, thinking that it's not so bad after all.
