Itaiiiiii.... My body hurts so badly like I just got ran over a car. I guess that's what coldness does to one. Opening my eyes slowly, I found myself under a thick layer of blanket with heat packs on the mattress under my frame and the blanket over me. Where am I? Why am I in a bed? Did I get kidnapped / catnapped?!

Shooting up straight quickly, I spotted Sasuke sleeping by my side as he curled up calmly in a ball with a peaceful look on his face. Shaking him lightly, he stirred slightly in his sleep before swatting my hand away with an annoyed scowl on his face. Cute.

"Sasuke, wake up." I bit onto his earlobe lightly, which is his weak spot, making him jump up slightly in high alert.

"Naruto! You're awake! You feeling alright? Any pain or discomfort?" He questioned worriedly as his roamed around my frame as he scanned for anything out of the ordinary.

"I feel better, Sasu. What happened?" I nuzzled against him lovingly as he purred deeply, nuzzling back against me.

"You fainted on me, dobe. I thought you weren't going to wake up anymore. You scared me." He looked down with a slight look of fear on his face as tears flowed down his cheek. Shit. Did I just make the Uchiha cry?

"I'm sorry... I tried to stay awake but I was too tired..." I said remorsefully under my breath but was cut off when I felt his lips connect against mine. Hmm. It's warm.

"It's alright. As long as you're alright, everything's fine." He said warmly before moving in to place another peck on my lips but was interrupted by knocking against the door.

Shit. I forgot that we're catnapped!

"Are we going to get killed, Sasu?" I asked him anxiously while he just shook his head lightly.

"Don't worry, it's just Iruka. He saved us." Iruka? My dad came for me?

"My dad came for us?!" I questioned excitedly but Sasuke's eyes fell onto the bed... No?

"No you dobe, it's the human world, Iruka. Though...he's still as kind as your dad I suppose."

"Oh..." I thought my dad finally came for me... does he not want me anymore?

"I'm coming in!" The guy Iruka announced as he opened the door slowly. "Why the hell am I still trying to talk to cats?" He mumbled under his breath in disbelief as Sasuke let out a snort at his words.

"Oh! You're awake!" He exclaimed in surprise when he caught me staring at him. Mewling in reply, he squealed lightly like a girl before picking me up with ease as he snuggled against my frame.

"You're so cute! You're eyes are so blue!" He gushed as Sasuke simply rolled his eyes at him. Seems like he doesn't really like Iruka though he saved us.

"Are you hungry? Would you like to eat?" He questioned the both of us. In reply, my stomach growled loudly, making me blush deeply as Iruka chuckled. "I guess we should get some food into your tummy. You're so thin!" He stroked my belly gently, making me squeal due to how ticklish it was. To him though, it sounds like I'm mewling but at a sharper pitch.

"Awww...you're so-ouch!" Iruka cried out in pain, releasing me abruptly, causing me to land on the bed with a 'oofmph' when Sasuke headbutted him against his crotch. That seems painful...

"Why did you do that, Sasuke? He's in pain." He rolled his eyes at me before smirking at Iruka with a satisfied look on his face.

"He was touching you." He huffed before leaping off the bed with me grabbed by my scruff in his jaw. That doesn't explain why he must hit him though...

Struggling out of Sasuke's grasp, I ran towards Iruka before nudging his leg lightly with my head. Looking down at me, he showed me a warm smile before stroking my head gently. His hand feels so good! "Sorry about that little one. I didn't mean to drop you." He apologized sincerely before picking me up gently once again.

"Let's get you some food okay?" Nodding my head at him, he smiled softly at me before shooting a glare at Sasuke. "No food for you if you do that again. Got it?" Iruka warned him sternly as Sasuke just rolled his eyes, unaffected by his threat.

"Hm...let me see...I've got tuna...sardine...bread...chicken...that's about it. What do you two want? Is tuna alright?" Iruka offered as Sasuke nodded quietly. Scooping a large chunk of tuna into two plates, he placed them in front us. I can't eat that... Staring at Sasuke, our eyes met as he motioned me to not eat it. But...that'll hurt Iruka's feelings...

"I can't choose..."

"You're going to get sick, Naruto."

"But-" Sighing loudly, he went over my side, eating up all my food before pushing his plate away from Iruka before eating his slowly while Iruka glared at him. Thanks, Sasuke.

"That cat..." Iruka grumbled irritatedly at him, making me mewl to catch his attention. I want to tell him that it's not Sasuke's fault but he wouldn't be able to understand. "Sorry about that little one. Would you like chicken instead?"

Shaking my head no, he suggested sardine which I shook my head at once again. Sighing softly, he opened his fridge, sending a blast of cold air against my face. C-Cold. "Let's see...what would you like, little one?" I stared into the fridge, catching sight of a carton of milk. Finally something edible!

Pointing my muzzle at the carton, he looked at me confusedly before taking it out from the fridge. "You want milk?" I nodded eagerly, making him chuckle before pouring a large amount in a bowl, placing it in front of me and away from Sasuke. Thanking him happily, even though it came out as a mewl, he nodded with a warm smile on his face as I started to lap on it. It's so good!

"Sasuke, you want some? It's nice and cold!"

"Don't worry. That idiot there looks like he's going to throw me off the table if I 'steal' from you again."

"No he wouldn't. He's a good guy." Pushing my bowl to Sasuke's direction, I saw Iruka eyeing me curiously before frowning at Sasuke.

"You don't have to give him your share little one. Did he threaten you to do so?" I shook my head quickly but Iruka didn't seem to believe me.

"Told you."

"But- " Before I can even argue, I saw my bowl getting moved away before I got lifted up gently, towards the bowl and away from Sasuke.

"Noooo! I want Sasuke!" I squirmed in Iruka's large hand as I tried to get off his palm and to Sasuke. I want Sasuke... I want...I w-want-

Before I knew it, tears flowed down my face, making Iruka go all flustered and anxious. "Shit. Is anything wrong? Is anywhere painful?" He asked concernedly as I mewled softly at him to indicate no. Holding my paws out towards Sasuke's direction, he seemed to get the clue as he brought me back to Sasuke's side while sighing loudly.

"S-Sasu!" I ran into him arms, snuggling against his chest as he stroked my head gently.

"You don't have to cry, dobe. It's not like we're separated permanently."

"I want to be with you, teme..."

"Hai hai. I'll be with you okay? Now go and eat. You need to get your strength back." He carried me towards the bowl before laying me down onto the table as I dug into my milk once again as Iruka watched us fascinatedly.

"You two are so weird..." He said with an amused look on his face as Sasuke glared at him. Me on the other hand, couldn't really be bothered as I was busy slurping up the delicious milk given after such a long time. Maybe life on the human world isn't that bad after all.
