Together

Chapter 17: Training

The first thing I saw was Sasuke holding me in his arms. I turned towards the other three heroes and they all flinched.

"N-Naruto?" Stark stammered while taking a step closer. My throat felt dry and couldn't help but doubt the words of the old demon.

"Yes?" I answered softly.

"Oh thank fuck he's back." Tony sighed in relief. I noticed everyone in the room visibly relax. Wanda walked towards me and frowned while caressing my cheek.

"I'm sorry about exposing you Naruto I didn't know about your relationship with the demon." She apologized softly.

At first I was surprised because no one has ever apologized to me before when it came to Kuruma except my parents. I felt something swell inside of me was this happiness? Relief?

"It's ok! Everyone gets a little scared when it comes to Kuruma Nii-San! Dattebayo!" I chuckled half heartedly while scratching the back of my head.

"Are you kid? Kuruma mentioned something about us triggering you we can always set you up for therapy." Tony smiled sadly while patting my head.

"Steve did mention that. Kuruma said that I had trauma and Steve told me I should get evaluated for this 'PTSD'. From what I've been told and think Sasuke and I both need it." I stole a glance at the surprised Uchiha.

"Naruto I'm an Uchiha we don't need therapist." Sasuke huffed and I narrowed my eyes.

"So are we seriously going to forget about what happened to your clan and the countless of life and death situations we had to go through despite being genin?" I deadpanned causing him to stiffen.

"Naruto we're ninja. If we can't even handle our past doesn't that make us weak? And the Uchiha Massacre doesn't affect me." The avenger fibbed.

"That's bullshit and you know it. You're scared of losing someone close to you just as much as me. We just cope with that fear differently and I feel like if we just get the help we needed we can finally be at peace. We're children after all we don't have all the answers!" I argued.

"Yeah Dobe we were children but we were 17 when we left our world. It's been two years and we're legally adults now." Sasuke rebutted.

"Ok, ok. I see where both of you are coming from so let's make a deal!" Tony mediated.

"A deal?" I tilted my head slightly.

"Yes a deal. Both of you will start therapy and get evaluated for a month and after that month passes if you still feel like it's a waste of time Sasuke you can drop your therapy session. Deal?" Tony proposed.

"Deal." Uchiha agreed.

"Now you two go off somewhere. Naruto you don't have to explain if you don't want to I understand. Wanda, Vision, and I need to go discuss some matters about HYDRA so we'll be ok our way." Tony explained. I nodded my head in understanding.

"It was nice meeting you Naruto and Sasuke. Although we didn't get to talk much I look forward to our future interactions for we'll be staying here for a while." Vision smiled softly.

"Ok! Maybe then I'll get used to that weird energy you give off!" I chirped.

"Let's go usuratonkatchi." Sasuke rolled his eyes grabbing my wrist. We both walked in silence to the training room. We both stood on the training mat getting into a stance.

"Why therapy?" Sasuke questioned while throwing a punch. I blocked his punch and kicked his side causing him to grunt slightly.

"I've been having a lot of panic attacks. I don't think I can live like this." I frowned jumping away from him when he tried kicking me down.

"Live like what?" Sasuke pushed me onto the ground pinning me.

"Like I'm happy when I'm not teme." I shouted while kicking him off of me and standing up.

"We're ninjas Dobe looking after ones mental health is unheard of." Sasuke frowned kicking my knee and knocking me down onto the ground.

"We've set many precedents before Sasuke. Why can't we be the first to get therapy. Besides Sakura Chan gets therapy, and before you spout bullshit like we're heir to clams and she's from a civilian family she's not the naive 12 year old girl who used to faun over you Teme. She's a strong and capable medical nin." I narrowed my eyes testily flipping off the ground before the Uchiha punches me.

"Hmm I didn't know you knew words like 'precedent' dobe. I'll try this therapy you want to do so much and before you get excited I'm only partially Convienced you haven't fully won me over!" Sasuke huffed while blocking my kick and sidestepped away from my fist.

"Partially is better than none!" I grinned. Sasuke punched me in the face while smirking.

"You lost focus loser." Sasuke snickered extending his hand out towards me.

"Sasuke you Bastard." I smirked while taking his hand. He pulled me up and I slightly stumbled into his chest.

"Whoops my bad." I chuckled.

"Let's go get some lunch." I suggested.

"Yeah that would be good idea but we should probably shower first." Sasuke agreed.
