The bandages will go. Sasuke will heal. This time. Naruto’s fear of losing him will not.

don’t have to listen to you if I don’t want to but with every pissed-off glare he did.

Sasuke doesn’t know how to ask for help. Naruto doesn’t know how to help him. He’s really bad at guessing. Too bad. He’ll try anyway, and there’s nothing Sasuke can do to stop him.

what the hell did Sasuke have to be afraid of? Didn’t he know that Naruto had his back, that Naruto would always have his back - didn’t he know that the reason Naruto needed to be strong was for him?

Didn’t he know that Naruto needed him?

Perhaps it means he doesn’t have the moral high ground he thinks he does. For Sasuke, he finds he doesn’t mind. Konoha would understand, if they knew Sasuke the way he did.

thinks he would have preferred it if Sasuke spat at him, dropped his heart to the floor and crushed it under his heel, at least then he could be justified in the way he wants to scream.

What’s wrong, Naruto had asked, and Sasuke had chosen his brother and said, you are.
