You and Me, Always and Forever

Chapter 3 : Life is too short to spend it fighting against yourself

It was night time. The teme was nonchalantly listening to the 'exaggerated' adventures of the dobe. Well as much as he wanted to cover up, he missed his boisterousness. Sasuke-kun, are you feeling well?" 

Sakura asked him as she paid them another visit for her rounds. "

"Oi, Sakura-chan! How's it that teme was healing a lot faster than I do? Tch, I should have known that there's a favorite-"

"Naruto! It's either you're gonna shut your mouth up or my fist will shut it for you!" 

She said preparing her strength for the next course of action. Sasuke can only sigh for that matter, although he knew why that dobe wasn't feeling any better."

There, I'm done checking your stats. You should go to sleep now," Sakura said then darted her gaze to the blonde menacingly, "or I'm gonna make you sleep in my own way."

"Hey teme!" Naruto called out in a whisper as soon as he thought Sakura was gone, 

"Do you know that-"

"Naruto! What did I tell you about sleeping! If you want to stay in this hospital forever then fine, but don't drag Sasuke-kun with you!"

"Oh, why now Sakura-chan? Want me to stay here with you a little bit longer huh?"Not long enough, her fist landed on his face."There, easiest way to shut you up." She finished with a big sigh as she bade the other one goodbye, "Sasuke-kun."

"Hn"Sleeping with one eye closed became Sasuke's expertise. After a very long time of harboring skepticism towards the world made him hyper-sensitive to his environment even while he's dozed-off, unlike that dobe who was usually a deep sleeper.

However, something's off about the boisterous bionde lately. Sasuke wasn't sure if it's his friend's new dynamic or if he should wake him up. Nightmares.He already voiced out this concern to Sakura, but the blonde only rejected her assistance in his sleep. His hand tapped away hers as she tried to calm him down. 

She said this might be due to the meds he's taking and his soft snores and peaceful sleep will be back again soon.Still, he could not bear but to be a bit bothered.The door creaked silently that was soon followed by soft steps.Who would visit us in this hour? 

Visiting hours are over right? Is Sakura aware of this? Sasuke thought as he slyly opened his eye.He wasn't shocked at what he saw. The Hyuuga girl, whose pale skin and dark hair were enlightened brightly by the moon above, was tending to the flowers she just brought in.He re-closed his eye.
