Stuck

chapter 5- touch

Sasuke began to stir, and immense pain shot up his spine. The ground wasn't much aid for comfortability, and only caused more aching in his body. The feeling of cold cement clashed against his skin. Skin?

Sasuke opened his eyes, quickly sitting up and recollecting his memories. What's the last thing he could remember? 'Think Sasuke!' he told himself, holding his head, wishing his migraine would cease.

He remembered... going into the bar... the old room... Naruto was bleeding... wait, where's Naruto! Sasuke quickly looked around the space he was in, not being able to see anything. Everything was so dark to him; he could have been dead. He reached his hands out in front of him and started to crawl, hitting a wall also made of cement.

He backed up and started to feel around, hitting something warm. "Naruto?" he said quietly. He held the thing up in his arms, feeling around it, trying to decide if it was his teammate with his blindness.

It was definitely a person. Sasuke moved his hands up and down the body. What things could determine if it was Naruto if he couldn't see anything? I mean, both the body and Sasuke himself were in nothing but underwear. At least Sasuke knew it was a guy...

Sasuke reached up to his face and held the person's cheeks. He moved one hand to the back of his head, feeling his hair. It was spiky, medium length. Just like Naruto's. (yall lets just pretend he didn't cut his hair and doesn't look like that monstrosity from Boruto)

Then, Sasuke realized one important factor that could determine if it's Naruto or not. Sasuke moved a hand down to the person's right arm and felt the bandages that rose all the way up to the shoulder, compliments of Sasuke. So, the person he was holding is Naruto after all.

Sasuke sighed in relief, after checking his pulse and finding it going, a little faint, but there, nonetheless.

He stood up and started to scope out the space. It was very small, and hard to move in.

After about 5 minutes Sasuke got the feel of it. They were in a small cement, cube shaped room, about 7 feet in length width and height. There were no openings, no cameras, and nothing else in the room with them. No normal prison cell if you ask me.

Sasuke's first instinct was to break the wall. Which he tried to do, punching the wall with great force. With that, he discovered 2 things.

The wall can't break

His chakra is immensely depleted

From this, he deducted that the room itself has been draining chakra from them, meaning they wouldn't be able to even attempt an escape, and would die soon, especially with the effects of starvation, depleted oxygen, and inability to act out bodily functions, if you know what I mean.

Sasuke was at a loss, so upset with himself. Now they were going to die. Hed made a serious lapse of judgment. If he'd acted back there, then Naruto would have died, but now that he hasn't, they will both die for sure.

He didn't even know if Naruto would wake up; when he was feeling around, Sasuke felt a blood patch at the back of Naruto's head, something of a blunt force attack. He could have a concussion, so the added effects of anesthesia could very well kill him soon.

Sasuke started to cry. He can't remember the last time he did that or felt this stuck before. There wasn't a single thing he could do. Nothing. He couldn't even be sure if their squad would come for them. How could they know where they are?

He lay against the wall, pulling Naruto into his lap and laying his head back against his chest, brushing Naruto's hair back. Slowly, Sasuke drifted back to sleep, feeling emotionally exhausted.

<later>

Naruto's eyes started to flutter open, or did they? He couldn't see a thing. On top of that, he had a splitting that could be equal in pain to getting hit in the head with a metal bat.

Most of his body was cold, and felt exposed, but his back was warm, touching a different surface from the floor which felt like cold cement.

Naruto reached his hands out behind him and felt skin. Skin that started to move and make sound. There was someone behind him!

Naruto was officially panicking; he jumped forward, away from whatever body was behind him. He felt so uneasy, not being able to see anything. All he could do was feel around, and he felt his skin, bare, except for underwear, he felt the cement floor, leading up to a wall that was the same, hinting that he was in a small space.

Suddenly a hand grabbed his wrist, and Naruto let out a surprised yelp. "Calm down idiot." Said a raspy voice, that of Sasuke's. Naruto eased up a little, knowing the person he's with was his teammate, his best friend. "Sasuke?" he asked. "Yeah."

Naruto crawled a little closer to the voice, grabbing Sasuke's skin and pulling a closer. "Sorry, I can't see... can you?" He asked. "No, it's pitch black in here." Sasuke said, grabbing Naruto's torso. The only keeping the boys' comfort was each other.

"What happened?" Naruto asked, completely oblivious to why he was in such a situation. "Well, you found the Viceitours, they knocked you out, I found you, they threatened me with a knife to your throat, and then they knocked me out. Now were naked in a cement box that's inescapable and draining our chakra as we speak." Sasuke explained, almost as if this were everyday stuff.

"Do you think... the others will come?" Naruto asked desperately. Sasuke didn't answer, which was answer enough.
