"Sasuke you're straggling!" Kakashi called. "We can't slow down until we've crossed the border from the Land of Snow!" Sasuke growled, trying his best to catch up.
His head was pounding, every movement he made caused his stomach to tighten, like it was ready to erupt of its contents.. But he couldn't admit that, he wasn't going to admit that he had allowed himself to get sick on this mission.. He was not that weak..
His vision started to blur, he shook his head in an attempt to clear them, but the jelly like weakness in his limbs caused him to lose his footing on a icy tree branch. Strangely his body didn't want to answer him as he fell, the sides of his vision going black.

(Name's) POV
I heard a knock at my door as I lazily ate potato chips on my sofa, flipping though channels to find something interesting.
"Coming!" I called, tossing my blanket aside and making my way to the door. Upon opening I was shocked.
"Dad!" I said surprised. "I thought you were on a mission with-"
"I believe this belongs to you.." My father, Kakashi said as he shifted the limp body that was flung over his shoulders.
"Oh my god! What happened?" I asked, frantically leading him inside and assisting him in laying Sasuke on the couch.
"He got sick in the Land of Snow and tried to hide it until he passed out on the way back.. He's got a pretty high fever.." Kakashi said, stepping back and gazing at Sasuke's pink tinted cheeks. "Think you got it from here?"
"Yes thank you for taking care of him.." I said with a smile, he leaned in to kiss the top of my head before taking his leave.
"What am I going to do with you..?" I asked the unconscious man on my couch, stroking his bangs away from his forehead.
I busied myself in getting the supplies to make him comfortable, as soon as I went to place a cool rag on his forehead he started to stir, moaning and groaning until he opened his eyes.
"(Name)?" He asked hoarsely.
"Welcome back.." I said, giving him a gentle kiss on the nose. He looked at me miserably, rubbing his eyes. "Now that you're awake I bet a hot shower would feel really good.." I said. "Do you think you could shower?"
He nodded at me and started to slowly shift himself off of the couch, but as he went to stand he let out a cry of pain and collapsed forward. I gasped and rushed to his side.
"Are you okay? What happened?" I asked, he let out a growl of pain.
"I fell out of the trees.. I must have landed on this side.. Damn it hurts to move.." He growled, holding his right side with his good arm.
"Okay I've got you then.." I said, going to his left side and helping him up, letting him lean his weight on me as I walked him into the bathroom.
I ran a hot bath as he sat on the floor undressing himself to the best of his ability. It was hard for him to get his pants off so I helped him. He looked utterly miserable, he was always filled with so much pride, for me to have to help him walk, take off his clothes and he was slowly coming to the reality that I'd have to help bathe him, was so shameful to him.
I lifted his chin to look up at me, placing a sweet kiss on his lips. "I love you.. and I'm glad you're okay.." I said, a small smile picked up on his cheeks as he rested his forehead against mine. "And nobody has to know about this.." I said with a slight giggle. He gave a happy low growl.
"How do I deserve the perfect woman?" He asked me and I just shrugged, placing one last quick kiss on his lips and starting to help him up, lowering him into the bathtub.
