Its warm here. Am I dead?

"Clear!"

Maybe.... who knows.

"Clear."

Its warm here. Am I dead?

"Clear!"

Maybe.... who knows.

"Clear."

Its warm here. Am I dead?

"Clear!"

I cough, and blood splurts onto my shirt. The doctors all exhale and take off their gloves, "we thought we lost you there."

"What a scare." Another chuckles

I glance around, the bright lights in my face. "Kid whats your name."

"Naruto Uzumaki." I reply

"Okay, you were just dead for 8 minutes. No pulse, no breaths. Nothing." The doctors explain, "youve been here for 8 months. In and out of a coma but yesterday your heart just stopped."

"So why am i here?" I ask

" how old are you?" Another aks

"Uh..."

"Your middle name?"

".."

"How did you know you name?"

"Its on the band on my wrist." I reply and hold up my wrist band

Sasuke pov

I paced around the the lobby, "sasuke!" Kurama calls, his eyes were red and you can tell he had been crying, "is he okay?" He ask

I shake my head, "im not sure, i havent heard anything."

"Mr. Uzumaki!" The doctor calls and walks over to me. I shake my head and point to Kurama, "my apologies. Mr. Uzumaki, your brother doesn't seem to remember anything. Beside his name, hes just about clueless."

I felt my heart tear, why hadnt i just trusted him. Why do i do this? Why do i hurt myself?

"So what exactly are you people to me?" Naruto asks as he steps into the kuramas car

"Im an your brother," he says closing the door, "and that guy with the pissy attitude is you signifacnt other."

I nearly chocked on how easily he just told him that. "Ah, so are we dating or...?" Naruto trails off

"Its complicated." I snap

Id rather not tell him i cheated on him after assuming he was having an affair. Thats beyond fucked up. I wouldnt do it even if he begged me.

"I see!" He yells and hold up his finger like he came onto something. " so we have that relationship."

Kurama turns around a raises an eyebrow. "What kind of relationship."

"The kind where i sell my body to him in exchange-

"Drive." I growl at kurama who speeds out the parking lot.

The house is quiet. Naruto is on bed rest, after getting back to back migraines. And all he eats is ramen washing it down lukewarm milk.

"Itadakimasu!" He smiles as he begins to chow down.

I force a slight smile and begin to walk to the door, "hmey." He says with a mouth full of food

"Chew first, or you'll choke."

"Ya i know. I know." He says swallowing his food. He get out of bed and walks over to me, "You dont have to say anything. I get it. I can feel the tension. I dont remember how, but i know i hurt you, and for that im sorry. I cant say what for, but if i knew i would apologize a million time." He says gazing into my eyes

His eyes. Ah, they spoke a thousand 'im sorry's at once. Each begging for forgiveness.

My heart ached, i felt like scum. Lower than scum, i felt like shit. Worse than that-whats worse than that? Me. Sasuke.

"You didnt hurt me..." but i couldnt bring myself to tell him that it was me who hurt him.
