Chapter 3

THE GAS STATION

Monday, 8:25 A.M

PRESENT

Naruto was woken up by the birds chirping a strange melancholic song and the blazing sun giving blinding rays of dead light, his eyes were squinted.

Then he remembered,

Someone was there with him.

The blonde turned around to see Sasuke. The boy's eyes were red and had dark bags under them. They were opening and closing, seeming as if the eyelids were fighting to stay open. And although impossible, it seems as if his pale skin has gotten even more discolored.

"What the hell?" Naruto grumbled quietly at the sight. The boy looked like those damn monsters themselves Did he even sleep? Well, it's not like Naruto could talk. He was basically on guard the whole night so he didn't even get proper rest he needed.

Sasuke's tired eyes locked with the blonde's electric blue ones. After fighting with himself for a bit, Naruto sat up and glared daggers at the drunk-looking boy. A long, uneasy silence was shared between the two males before Naruto finally spoke up.

"You fucking idiot." Naruto deadpanned.

The dark haired male channeled his eyes at the wooden floor of the tree house. "Tch. How am I an idiot? You probably would've killed me the moment I closed my eyes fucktard!" The raven spat.

The blonde raised his eyebrow and chuckled lowly. He made his way to the sleep-deprived male. Each step closer Naruto took became more and more intimidating to Sasuke. The black haired male scrambled back with each step the blonde took, now regretting his words.

In a flash, he was harshly held up by the collar of his shirt, the blonde and the Raven face to face. Sasuke slightly trembled when he saw Naruto's mouth open.

"I could've left you for dead a long time ago. But I fucking saved you because you're too much of a wuss to survive on your own. Now get out of my fucking house." With that, he let the shaking male drop. Naruto was fucking pissed. The blonde had gone out of his way to shelter this bastard for a night and now he's getting disrespected? Fuck that. Whether or not the male slept, he was putting him out.

Sasuke, although a bit shook, managed to stand up. Maybe he shouldn't have said that.. He bit the inside of his lip. Great.. now he fucking regrets it.

"I-I'm sor-" "I don't care. Fuck off already." The black haired male tried to apologize, but he was oh so rudely interrupted.

"W-Wait.. please. I don't know w-why I said that.."Once again Sasuke averted his eyes. "I'm just still overwhelmed by the fact that I-" his voice cracked and trembled, "..almost died.. Please forgive me.." Sasuke practically pleaded.

"Tch. Fucking pitiful," Naruto spewed, " I accept your apology. Now would you so kindly fuck off?"

"T-Thank you." He whispered quietly, but just loud enough for Naruto to hear. He was about to climb down.

"Fucking wait," the blonde instructed. Sasuke looked at him confusingly as Naruto looted though his bag and took out a few food pills and a water bottle. The blonde handed the food items to the shocked male.
