(Just so we're clear I'm skipping to when they get to the magical house that is Sasuke's, enjoy!)
My fever had risen, I was desperate to get into my house, though the higher my temperature got the more frantically I searched for my keys in my pockets
"Do you need any he-"
"N-No! I'm perfectly f-fucking fine searching m-my own pockets for keys!"
I interrupt, my elbows leaning against the hard metal door begging for the temperature of the cold door to transfer to my body
I felt drops of cold sweat dripping from my forehead in a desperate attempt to cool me down, my eyes wanted to start leaking tears from the pain of the burning sensation in my mouth. My mouth hung slightly open trying to get more fresh air, my head faced down in shame of him seeing me in this state
"I don't know if you should be trying to be home right now anymore... We should take you to the ER if it's this bad"
He suggests, holding my shoulder in worry
"I-I'll be fine... I just.. need a-an ice pack or something.. maybe some m-medicine"
The truth is, I don't have health insurance, and I don't have the money to pay for a trip to the emergency room
"If you insist, but, would you mind if I at least help you find your keys? It appears to be stressing you out"
He offers
I hesitate, my fingers tremble and I fall to the 'Welcome' mat. My anxiety builds up. Why am I acting so weak? It's just a small fever yet I'm collapsing
"K-Knock on the front door.. Maybe s-she'll answer"
I told Lily to never open the door while I was away, but I know she's smart enough to go against me at times..
Naruto did as I said, then I heard small footsteps coming toward the door
"Whom are you?"
Her sweet voice asked innocently
"I-It's papa, Lily, open u-up for me.. P-Please...?"
My weak voice shivers, words barely comprehensible
I heard a whimper in her breath, "Papa..? Hm.... Tell me, what's my birthday?"
She's... Testing me? Hn, smart girl
"February t-twenty-first"
She turned the doors lock, peeking out slowly at me with her bright lilac eyes. Her expression changed from fright to worry in a matter of seconds and she burst the door open which caused me to lose my balance and hit my forehead on the wooden flooring
"Papa! Are you alright!? Your head!!"
She panics, bending down to get a better look at me
Naruto bent as well, he started making circular motions up and down my back
"Who are you? Are you a peer of papa's? Why are you here?!"
She inquires to Naruto, almost insulted by him just being there
"Oh my apologizes, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, one of your fathers Sensei's, I just accompanied him home due to his worsening condition, I wanted to assure his health and safety"
He explains in a friendly tone
"...Do you wish to enter this house? If so, be prepared to care for papa"
My throat started throbbing, I started coughing hysterically and my eyes watered like crazy
"Uchiha! Excuse me, Ms. Uchiha, but would you mind if I brought him in?"
He questions to Lily, almost urgently
A frown crossed her face and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Hurry along"
