[ Accidental Video ] The Anesthetic Never Set In...

[ackupunctured]

[ To those that bothered Sasuke while he was training last time, the feed starts up on a familiar set of vertical logs. Like the last time he was out here he's training, but there's something slightly off about his movements. They're not as sure as they were the last time, and on a few occasions he misses his target but just slightly

...What are you doing, Sasuke? [Haseo stands over him, arms crossed]

Do I have to drag you back to that doctor again?

[ackupunctured]

[ He turns quickly to look at Haseo, and the knowledge that the older boy had managed to sneak up on him doesn't help his state of mind either. ]

I'm fine.

[ Though he's missing one eye, there's still more than enough glare in the remaining orb to pack a punch. If you're affected by such things of course. ]

[ofredemption]

[Considering the fact he's saved your life twice now, you'd think he wouldn't glare at him. But instead, the teen looks at him, then looks away, his voice quiet. ]

I didn't get there in time.

[ackupunctured]

Tch.

[ Sorry Haseo, glaring is a knee jerk reaction for the young boy. He looks away now as well his voice a little softer but no less hurt and angry, more so at himself than anyone else. Perhaps Haseo will recognize that. ]

I don't need you to protect me, Haseo. I should be able to take care of myself.

[ After all he'd been doing it since he was 6, but what real threats had he had? There had always been someone to watch over him whether it was the village or his cell, Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto, someone. ]

[ofredemption]

You need someone to support you. Even I do. I..didn't do that. [shoves his hands in his pockets, chuckling bitterly]

All those times I could only watch as people dropped left and right in front of me. I did it again.

[ackupunctured]

I didn't drop. [ Sasuke's still facing away from him, but the anger is officially gone from his voice. ]

I'm still here, and I'm standing just fine. [ Which is really Sasuke's way of saying thank you, because while you may not have gotten there in time to save his eye, you did get there in time to help him. ]

[ofredemption]

[he puts his hand on his head, smirking with tight, sad eyes]

You really are an idiot.

[ackupunctured]

...Tch. [ The light noise was slightly amused this time rather than annoyed. ]

I'm not usually the one who's called that.

[ofredemption]

Deal with it, kid. You're acting like one, and I call it like I see it.

[ackupunctured]

[ Haseo you are probably the only one who could get away with saying something like that. If he was the hugging type, you'd have gotten one. Instead you get a genuine Sasuke smile, and a raised fist. Surely you know what that means -- bro fist. ]

should have put 2/2 >_>

[ackupunctured]

MOE..1/2

[ofredemption]

2/2

[ofredemption]

[he just gives a small smile in reply, bumping fists with the boy. he's going to look after this kid. so he won't have to suffer the same way he did..at least, he can try. ]
