Description
Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki have spent their high school years bickering, teasing, and challenging each other-never quite friends, but never able to ignore one another. Until one day, Naruto coughs up blood. The sight stops Sasuke cold, his mind thrown back to the moment he lost Itachi, when his brother looked in that exact way, fading into memory. The reflection is too sharp, too cruel, and so he freezes. In a panic, Sasuke forces Naruto to the hospital, desperate to keep him from becoming another ghost of his past. But as Naruto fights to recover, he begins to notice something new in Sasuke's gaze-a protectiveness he never understood before. Between quiet hospital visits, lingering glances, and a realization too heavy to ignore, Sasuke must face his grief, his fears, and the truth he has been denying that he cares about Naruto more than he admit. He was afraid he would lose Naruto and this time he couldn't hide his feelings. And Naruto? He's always been reckless, but he needs to survive for Sasuke or he would fall into the darkness, never turn to the light again. Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of its characters. Masashi Kishimoto created all the Naruto characters. All of the legal rights go to him. It is a made-up story that I have come up with, so I am not making money off of this story. It is created only to entertain the fans outside of its original canon. I hope you enjoy it! Also, I do not own any of the images.
