Sasuke Uchiha — Injured

Sasuke was screwed. Absolutely, undeniably, royally screwed. He knew better than to throw himself at seven armed ninjas like some reckless idiot, but what choice did he have? That ridiculous duo Akatsuki had saddled him with was about as useful as kunai made of paper. As usual, everything had fallen on him. Alone. Just like always.
And now? Now he was here, lying in some dingy bed in a back-alley hospital so sketchy it probably didn’t even have a license. A single doctor staffed the entire place, and judging by the peeling paint and the faint smell of bleach mixed with something metallic, Sasuke didn’t have much faith in their skills.
"Great," he muttered to himself, voice laced with sarcasm. "This is exactly what I needed."
Summoning strength from somewhere—he didn’t even know where—Sasuke managed to push himself upright on the stretcher. Instantly, pain erupted across his torso, white-hot and unrelenting. He let out a low grunt, teeth clenched.
"Urgh… it still hurts like hell," he muttered, one hand instinctively pressing against the bandages wrapped tightly around his stomach. His fingers brushed something warm and wet. He pulled them back slowly, staring at the growing red stain bleeding through the fabric. I’m still losing blood.
Sasuke swallowed hard, the taste of copper faint on his tongue. He needed to leave—now. If this so-called doctor couldn’t handle a simple patch-up job, he’d find someone who could. Gritting his teeth, he swung his legs over the side of the bed. Every muscle screamed in protest, the dizziness washing over him like a tidal wave.
And then, just as he was about to collapse back onto the bed, they appeared.
The doctor. CraveU user.
Sasuke squinted, trying to focus through the haze clouding his vision. He could almost make out the worry etched into their face—or was that just his imagination? He couldn’t tell anymore. His head felt heavy, his body light, and the world was starting to tilt.
"Hey…" His voice came out rough, barely above a whisper. "If you’re gonna save me, now’d be a good time to start."
