Sasuke lay there with a grimace, though he wasn’t angry with Sakura, just the situation. She knelt over him, and was gently peeling the dirty bandages from his neck. She had already taken the bandages from his chest and arms, then washed and rebandaged him. She took a sponge and gently washed his neck, and then applied fresh bandages.
“There, that’s all done. We’ll let Tazuna take care of the bandages on your legs when he gets back.” she said, putting the dirty bandages into a basket, and pushed them away from the futon Sasuke was laying on. She grabbed the water cup, and held it so the straw touched his lips.
“Want a drink?” she asked. Sasuke didn’t answer, he just sipped gently from the cup then let the straw slip from his lips.
“Is there anything else you need?”
“…no. I’m gonna take a nap.”
“Oh, ok. Well, I’m going into the village to get some food for dinner.” She got up and walked to the door.
“Sakura?” Sasuke called softly.
“Yes?” she said, looking back. Yes, he wants me to stay with him, CHA!!!!
“Tell Naruto not to bother me.” he said, and closed his eyes.
“…oh. I’ll let him know.” Sakura sighed, and left the room, sliding the door closed behind her.
***********************************************
It was cold, and Naruto’s breath came out in great plumes of steam. He brought his head up and saw Sasuke standing over him. Naruto could see the senbon sticking from all over Sasuke’s body.
“Idiot! Why didn’t you just mind your own business?!”
“My body moved of its own accord.” Sasuke fell back and Naruto caught him, and cradled him gently. His eyes started to tear up, and he was afraid they would freeze if they started running down his cheeks.
“I always hated you, you know.” Naruto could see Sasuke’s lips moving, but all he could hear was the blood pounding in his ears. Since day one of academy training, their teacher had pounded into their heads that they, or a friend, could die at any time. He was so sure he was ready to deal with something like this…so why did this hurt so much. It felt like someone had reached into his chest and squeezed his heart with all their strength. Sasuke’s lips stopped moving, and his eyes slowly closed…and then, everything went red….
***********************************************
Naruto awoke to the sound of a door sliding open. He’d been relaxing on the dock next to Tazuna’s home, and must have fallen asleep in the sunshine.
“Naruto?” Sakura called.
“Hmm….yeah?” he asked as he sat up and stretched.
“…are you ok, Naruto?” concern filled Sakura’s face.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Why?”
“It looks like you were crying.”
“…oh, yeah. Sometimes when I wake up from a nap, my eyes water up like that.”
“…ok. Well, I’m heading into town to get some food for dinner. Sasuke and Kakashi Sensei are asleep, so just be quite and don’t go in there.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Naruto said off handedly.
“I mean it Naruto, they need their rest.”
“I’ll be good Sakura, I promise.”
“Good. I’ll be back in about an hour.” She went off down the dock and into the forest. Naruto waved after her, and let a wicked smile cross his face.
***************************
Sasuke awoke when the door to his room slid open.
“Damnit Naruto, Sakura said…”
“It’s me, Sasuke.” Sakura said quietly from the door.
“Oh, sorry. I thought you were Naruto.”
“No, he’s taking another nap out on the dock. I just came up here to check on your bandages.”
“You changed them before you left, remember.”
“…I know, but I wanted to check them again, just to be sure.”
“…fine.” this wasn’t the first time Sakura had wanted to “recheck” his bandages. Sakura walked over to him, and threw back the blanket covering him. Her hands immediately went to the bandages covering his waist and legs.
“I…I thought you were going to let Tazuna take care of those, like you always did..” Sasuke muttered.
“I thought I would go ahead and take care of those, since Tazuna’s worked all day.” Sakura said, without looking him in the eye. She undid the bandages from the hip and quickly unwound them from his legs. Sasuke couldn’t believe that she was doing this, she was usually so shy about his leg bandages.
“But there’s nothing beneath…I mean, I’m not wearing any…” Sasuke stammered, but it was too late, he was completely exposed. Sakura blushed lightly at seeing Sasuke’s flaccid penis, but continued with her work. She threw the soiled bandages into the basket she had used earlier, and began to rewrap his legs. As she did, she let the tips of her fingers glide over the inside of Sasuke’s legs, something that aroused Sasuke greatly. Try as he might to keep himself from becoming erect, within minutes his dick was hard and throbbing. Sakura pretended not to notice, but Sasuke saw her eyes darting to it repeatedly, and her blush deepened. Within a few minutes, Sakura had finished with Sasuke’s legs, and had arrived at his hips. She made quick work of wrapping his hips, still letting her fingers trace over Sasuke’s skin. Sasuke tried not to show it, but she was driving him insane. In the week he’d spent in bed, he’d managed to do no more than twitch his fingers and toes, though Kakashi had promised that that was excellent for how serious his injuries were. He and Naruto hadn’t been alone in a little over a week, and he needed to get off badly. The way Sakura’s fingers played over his skin, feather light, at times he wasn’t even sure she was touching him. Soon his hips were wrapped tightly in the clean white bandages, and Sakura leaned away from him and swept her hand over her forehead.
“There, all done.” She sighed, then turned her head to look at Sasuke’s face, “Anything else I can do for you?” she asked, blushing a little.
“No…no, Im fine.” Sasuke rasped.
“Oh, Sasuke, you sound terrible,” she grabbed the cup and held the straw to his lips, “here, have some water.” Sasuke began to sip from the cup, wishing that Sakura would cover him and leave. He was thinking this when he felt her soft fingers wrap around his dick, and he sputtered what little water he had in his mouth.
“S…Sakura?! What are you doing?!!” Sasuke tried to roar, but it came out a loud whisper.
“Helping you.” She said quietly, not looking him in the eye. She gripped him firmly, and slowly moved her hand up and down. Sasuke gritted his teeth, and tried to keep from moaning in pleasure. He almost came right then, but managed to barely bring himself under control.
“Sss…Sss….Sakura.” he hissed out between teeth clamped together,
“Ssssssh.” Sakura whispered, and put a finger to his lips, “Our little secret.” She lowered her head, and took Sasuke into her mouth, sliding down to the base slowly. Sasuke clamped his teeth together to keep from screaming, though he wasn’t sure if it was in frustration or ecstasy. While her head bobbed up and down on his rigid member, her fingers never stopper moving up and down his legs, nails lightly digging into his skin.
“Damn, she’s really good…” Sasuke thought, “How does she know……oh, that’s whats happening…” Sasuke’s eyes closed to slits, and he finally let a little moan escape his lips. This was so hot, he wished he could move his hands to grab her head and thrust hard and fast into her mouth. Suddenly it was all too much, and he couldn’t hold back.
“I’m gonna…..” was all he got out, before he began to unload into Sakura’s mouth. She held her head still, and let the warm fluid fill it before swallowing.
“Wow, that was amazing Sasuke. Thank you.” she said, and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.
“Wow, that really was amazing….Naruto.” Sasuke said, a sly smile on his face. Sakura was enveloped in a cloud of smoke, and Naruto took her place.
“How’d you know it was me, teme?” Naruto asked as he pouted and crossed his arms.
“Because you’re the only one who can get me off the quick, dobe.” Sasuke replied, that cunning smile still on his face.
“Oh….heh-heh, yeah.” Naruto said, rubbing the back of his head.
“So what was all that about, turning into Sakura?” Sasuke asked, a little anger in his voice.
“Call it a….surprise. Ive got another one for you, once you’ve recovered.” Naruto replied with a goofy grin.
“Really? Cant wait…” Sasuke said, a twinkle in his eye. Suddenly his eyes turend hard, and he turned his head away from Naruto, “Now put the cover back over me and get downstairs before Sakura gets back.” he muttered. Naruto’s head snapped back as if hed been slapped. He quickly grabbed the blanket and covered Sasuke, and went to the door. He slid the door opened and left the room quickly, and shut it quietly behind him, and stormed downstairs.
Why am I so mad?
He didn’t even thank you.
Its not like I expect it from him.
But you want it.
Why should I care what he says?
Because you love him.
Naruto came to halt beside the door leading to the docks, completely caught off guard by that last thought. He couldn’t love Sasuke….no way he could love that teme. His eyes welled up with tears, and he slammed his fist into the wall so hard it left a dent.
Damn it….damn it, damn it, damn it. He fell to his knees, and let the tears fall silently down his cheeks.
Why do I have to love him.
**************************
A tear fell from Sasuke’s eye. He hated treating Naruto that way, but he couldn’t let himself become attached to anyone, for any reason.
“I’m an avenger….” he said silently to himself, as a second tear followed.
