I have never been sick or had a fever, so I don't know what it feels like for someone who is sick.

I could tell they were feeling uncomfortable, but I had no idea how uncomfortable they were.

I thought Uchiha Sasuke would be bored because he couldn't sleep, so when he didn't refuse, I tentatively carried the card to his bed.

"Can you play it?"

"……Won't."

So I simply told him the rules: "Do you understand?"

He nodded slightly.

I felt that he seemed very tired, but he had been lying in bed and sleeping for so long, how could he be tired?

So I started dealing the cards without paying any attention.

"Asaro——" At this time, Naruto's voice suddenly sounded, "What are you doing?"

I asked in surprise, "Naruto, did you sleep well?"

Naruto sat up, his golden hair was a little messy from sleeping, but after hearing my question, his sleepy expression improved a little: "I feel like I slept too much today... I feel dizzy..."

He got out of bed and stretched his muscles, trying to clear his mind.

After a while, Naruto regained his former spirit.

He looked at the cards I spread out on the bed and said, "Hey, is this the deck that Shikamaru brought?"

"Yeah! I was afraid you'd be bored here, so I went to borrow it."

Naruto immediately started laughing, "Asahi is awesome!"

But he glanced at Sasuke and added: "However, how can a sick person play cards? I remember when I had a fever before, I was so tired that I didn't want to do anything!"

Sasuke said: "You and I are... different."

Naruto exploded immediately: "What!? Do you look down on me? Damn it!"

"It's not convenient for him." Since Naruto is awake, I certainly don't want to play with Sasuke: "Look, one of his hands is injected, it's not easy to move, and he can't hold the cards."

I was about to say, "Let's play together," but Naruto said, "No! This is a rare opportunity! Let's fight it out, Uchiha Sasuke!"

Uchiha Sasuke hummed, "Come on."

I:"?"

Eh?

How did things get to this point?

Naruto asked me: "Asaroko Asaroko, go get the cards for this guy! Is that okay?"

Looking at his pleading eyes, I couldn't say no.

but!

That’s Uchiha Sasuke…!

but me!

A man who wanted to overthrow Uchiha Sasuke, now! He actually wants to assist him! Get cards for him! Become an enemy of Naruto!

The scroll said that Naruto and Sasuke would become good friends.

After the Uchiha clan was in trouble, he severed all ties for revenge.

Even the girl who loved him deeply once despaired of him and wanted to kill him.

Among so many people, only Uzumaki Naruto persisted to the end and never gave up on saving him.

It is said that he was just a little bit away from success.

Unfortunately, he failed at the last moment, and the whole world was grasped by Uchiha Sasuke, and then he fell into the abyss with him.

So now, Naruto is probably walking along his original destiny.

But, how good are so-called good friends?

If Sasuke still killed him in the end, then maybe Naruto just unilaterally regarded Sasuke as a friend?

Uchiha Sasuke is indeed a cold-blooded and heartless person.

But I can't interfere with Naruto's choices, and I can't hinder his growth.

I went there silently.

Naruto began to shuffle the cards with great interest. He drew a card and I helped Sasuke draw one until they had seven cards.

My hands are a little small and I can't hold all the cards. In order to spread them out in a fan shape for better viewing, I held the cards with both hands and placed them in front of Sasuke.

To do this I had to turn towards him and get closer to him.

He lowered his eyes to look at the cards.

At such a close distance, I could clearly see that his skin was delicate and fair, with an abnormal flush, his black eyes were as bright and beautiful as glass beads, and I could even count his long eyelashes.

I feel that Uchiha Sasuke looks a bit like the beauty in the classical picture book I saw in the bookstore before.

I said, "Let's play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins goes first."

Sasuke nodded but didn't move. He leaned back into the pillows, looked up at me and said, "You take my place."

His voice was weak, so it sounded very gentle. I could do anything to defeat Hokage Uchiha Sasuke, but for some reason I couldn't refuse him from speaking like that.

I beat Naruto, and then asked him, "You go first, what do you want to do?"

He said something in a very low voice. I didn't hear it clearly at first, so I asked in confusion, "What?"

In order to hear his instructions clearly, I had to bend down and put my ear close to his lips.

He said it again: "Blue 7."

No one has ever blown air into my ears, but today I found out that it is a strange feeling that makes people feel numb and want to curl up into a ball and laugh out loud.

Seeing me hunch my shoulders and smile subconsciously, Naruto's eyes widened, "What what?! What did Sasuke say?"

I laughed and said, “He’s talking in my ear, it’s so itchy!”

"What—" Naruto was eager to try: "It looks interesting, I want to try it too!"

I asked Naruto to put his ear over here, and then I blew into his ear. His eyes widened, and he quickly covered his ears and jumped away.

I said excitedly, as if I had discovered a new world: “Right?”

Naruto pulled my arm playfully, and I let him climb onto my shoulders and blow into my other ear.

It still itches, but I find that Uchiha Sasuke's breath when he speaks is hotter than Naruto's.

Is this due to the effects of fever?

What is it like to be sick? Naruto said he had a fever before, what did he feel then?

Naruto got so excited that he actually said to Sasuke, "Sasuke, do you want to try it?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at him as if he was a fool: "I don't want it."

Naruto was about to get angry, but the door of the infirmary was suddenly pushed open.

The voice of the teacher in the infirmary came: "I'm back. How are you? Are you feeling better?"

I heard her footsteps coming straight behind the bed curtain. It was too late for me to run to the window and slip out. In a hurry, I quickly lifted Sasuke's quilt and crawled in.

Although Sasuke spoke rudely to Naruto, he bent his knees the next second and lifted the quilt to help me cover my tracks.

The bed was very small and Sasuke was very thin. I was afraid that the teacher could clearly see the outline of a human figure next to him, so I leaned close to him.

He also moved his legs, as if adjusting the shape of the quilt.

In order to prevent the teacher from becoming suspicious when he saw that Sasuke had no cards in his hand, I held his hand under the quilt and stuffed the cards in my hand into his.

What was strange was that his breath was so hot, but his hands were so cold.

When Sasuke touched the card, he probably understood what I meant and grabbed it cooperatively.

I heard the teacher asking from under the quilt: "What are you doing?"

Naruto said nonchalantly: "Because I'm bored! Please, teacher, don't tell Iruka-sensei!"

The infirmary teacher said, "I don't care about that for you guys. Only Iruka would worry about that. But how is Sasuke-kun going to play with a needle in one hand?"

Sasuke then took the hand holding the cards out from under the quilt, his voice as calm as ever, without any trace of guilt: "I'm holding the cards, I'll tell him which one I want to play, and he'll help me take it out."

This is the first time I heard him speak so long!

However, he probably felt that if he didn't say it, Naruto probably wouldn't be able to explain it properly.

The teacher smiled and said, "Hey...you two have a pretty good relationship."

She seemed to be checking the medicine in the bottle: "Well, there's still a little bit. I'll come back later."

I didn't dare to move. My hearing became very dull through the quilt, and I couldn't hear whether her footsteps were getting farther away. When the quilt was lifted, I was startled and thought I was discovered by the teacher. When I looked up, I found it was Sasuke.

When he looked down at me, his short black hair fell down beside his cheeks, looking very smooth: "She's gone."
