Accomplish The Opposite

(A:N) Someone mentioned that there was no Sas/Dei…and I just have to say that there are 10 more tenants I have yet to introduce. I’ll make a list of them once they’re all introduced. Wow! AH! ::Headache:: Welcome to chapter III where none of your questions will be answered. Short AN today…like I said, I’ve got a headache. Its what I get for listening to post-hardcore all night and then trying to wash my hair. BTW…I made up the word carinine. Yes I have magical powers and I have been granted the right to make up words as I journey through this boring literal word life.

Nik’s dictionary: carinine (care-n-nine), adj. 1. Having or being related to something that is dissolving. 2. A girl name Carin who is nine years old.
Disclaimer: Chapter III and I still don’t profit. If I owned Naruto I would get hassled for corruption of character.


Chapter III
Of Your Carinine Heart


(Part I)
You fall in love to feel part of the crowd, Sasuke


Throughout Itachi’s first years of college he was miserable. He was used to being in school with Sasuke where he could keep a close eye on him. Being in another school with no one he knew, Itachi kept to himself. He was somewhat of a loner since none of his high school peers were talking to him. His closest friend in high school was no longer alive but he didn’t see that to be a problem. Close or not, when Itachi confessed the closeness of him and Sasuke’s relationship, his friend avoided him more and more. So when Itachi got the news of his death, he hardly thought twice about it.

It was right about that time when Sasuke started to notice a huge change in his brother’s personality. He grew very quiet and lost interest in everything he’d grown fond of. Itachi’s life started taking dramatic changes soon after. He positioned all his classes and work schedule to fit Sasuke’s school schedule. They began school at the same time and Itachi’s internship at the city’s health facility ended ten minutes before Sasuke got out of school.

Aside from the seven hours of school they both had, they spent every moment with each other, Itachi made sure of it. Sasuke could only remember one particular night when Itachi hadn’t been around. Two days prior to that, Itachi received a letter in the mail that Sasuke never got to read. After the letter came Itachi acted so unusual that Sasuke had to question him.

Itachi never replied to the hundreds of questions and the continuos badgering. He simply told Sasuke that it was his problem and he would take care of it himself, and he did. A few months later Itachi announced that they were moving when Sasuke graduated. Sasuke couldn’t help but imagine that this had something to do with that letter and why Itachi had mysteriously disappeared from his room for a total of six hours that night. Itachi had no idea that Sasuke knew he was gone that night and it was never brought up. Sasuke figured Itachi had very good reason for keeping things secret.

Soon after that weird night when Itachi had gone ‘missing,’ came his sudden confession of feelings. Maybe it was accidental but Sasuke never admitted such feelings back. He stared at his brother in disbelief. Itachi didn’t beg for his love to be returned. He simply stated everything and then left Sasuke standing in their living room in shock. Was it all Sasuke’s fault that Itachi couldn’t admit it anymore? If he had told Itachi he loved him that night, would Itachi be refusing to love him now?


(Part II)
You fall asleep to dream about yourself, Itachi

At the first sign of any light outside his window, Sasuke woke up to hear his brother moving around the living room and back and forth in the hallway. Sasuke could feel a headache building, and if he had any common sense he would leave his room to rummage in the kitchen for a bottle of Advil. Of course he currently wasn’t thinking straight so that thought never crossed his mind. It had been three long and agonizing days since Sasuke made any type of verbal or physical contact with Itachi. He refused to leave his room, eat, and he could hardly call waking up every 15 minutes sleep.

Sasuke pulled the covers over his head and screamed to himself. He decided that if Itachi didn’t want him then he was going to make himself disappear. He just didn’t know how he was going to do that just yet. Somewhere in the back of his mind he knew none of the things Itachi had said to him since they’d moved in here were true. He wasn’t trying to protect Sasuke; he was just trying to make him suffer. Sasuke convinced himself that Itachi was the bad guy here.

Sasuke stopped breathing and sat up when he heard Itachi stop in front of his door. His room was still a bit dark and the light from the hallway coming under his door was a sure sign that Itachi was standing there, unmoving. Over the passed few days Itachi had done that very often. Sasuke had no idea why Itachi never opened the door. He didn’t have a lock on his knob and Itachi had to have known that. He could have come in and apologized any time he wanted to.

Sasuke frowned when Itachi’s shadow vanished from the light of the hall. He wanted to get up and go out there but he wasn’t going to give in first. Itachi owed him and apology and Sasuke wasn’t going to cave without one but his legs moved off the bed. His body had other plans. He was almost entirely off the bed when he heard Itachi’s phone ring. Sasuke didn’t move for a second. Itachi’s phone had been mysteriously ringing non-stop for the last three days. Each time Sasuke never Itachi never pick it up. The calls started at the same time every morning and ended around 8:15 at night.

Sasuke wondered if it was a text or a page but he was too stubborn to go figure it out. For sure he wasn’t going to make his presence known around Itachi until the other came in and sincerely apologized for…

Sasuke didn’t even know what he wanted an apology for. Did he except Itachi to get on his knees and beg him for forgiveness? There was no way that Itachi was going to apologize for something he felt so strongly about. Sasuke could wait in that room for the next four months and the same thing would go on for days on end.

Sasuke jumped when he heard a knock on his door. There was no need for him to be alarmed though. This was the usual now that Itachi was working and if Sasuke remembered correctly, Itachi’s first day of class was this particular morning.

“I’m leaving. There’s take-out in the frig.” Itachi disappeared and Sasuke heard the front door open and then close. Sasuke rubbed his eyes and then moved to his temples. Wouldn’t it be better for the both of them if Itachi just came in? Sasuke shook his head and got up. He didn’t bother making his bed since he’d be back in a few hours. He slugged through the hall and went to the kitchen. He opened one of the cabinets and pulled out a small box full of whatever non-prescription and prescription drugs he could find. This headache most certainly had to go.

-----

“Small world.”

Itachi stopped walking up the stairs to campus when someone directed something at him. The voice was oddly familiar but Itachi had been carefully watching the cement stairs so he hadn’t seen anyone. He looked up to see Kisame walking down the other side of the stairs. The guy that Itachi knew very little about smiled. Now Itachi knew why so many people were afraid of him. His teeth were oddly sharp and he looked like he wanted to bite someone’s head off.

“Yeah.” Itachi said. Kisame stopped next to him and Itachi was forced to look at him. He couldn’t help but see a little glare in Kisame’s eyes. He looked away and started up the stairs again. Kisame turned around and watched him leave. Itachi had no interest in starting a conversation.

“I thought you were taking morning classes.” Kisame said and stuck his hands in his pockets. Itachi stopped and turned back around. Untrue to his conversation with Haku and Kisame the night before, it was afternoon now and Itachi was just getting to school.

“No. Change of plans. I work mornings in the hospital and then do class in the afternoons. That way Sasuke can take class in the morning and work in the afternoon. It’s to benefit the both of us. I’ll be going, Kisame.” He bowed and started walking again. He heard the other say something about ‘take it easy’ but he was too far gone now.

-----

Itachi roamed the "L" building of his school. Three days now had Sasuke not said a single word to him. All Itachi's meek efforts to apologize were unheard since he couldn’t go in that damn room. Itachi had gotten his job at the health center and that caused for him to be gone whenever he was called in. He had no set schedule for work. That would be the only time Sasuke left his room.

Itachi stopped in the hall and looked at the rows and rows of classrooms. He seemed lost, either because he'd never been here or because Sasuke was yet again on his mind. How was he supposed to concentrate on school when his brother was constantly in his thoughts? Itachi turned around and looked down the hall, trying to decide if he wanted to switch his class before even going in.

What he saw surprised him. A man in a black coat was just staring at him. He didn't seem ashamed at all. His trench coat was full-blown leather and his hat covered his eyes. His hands were in his pockets and his head was down. Itachi looked around the hall; mysteriously everyone around had vanished. He looked towards the classes and then back towards the man in black but, he was gone. Just like that Itachi was alone in the hallway. He couldn't stay, his heart was beating fast and he needed to get home to Sasuke. He had no choice...they were in danger. ‘They’ had found them.

-----

Itachi busted into his apartment to find Sasuke in his usual spot on the floor. "Sasuke, get your things...we're leaving." Itachi walked passed him and went in his room. He pulled out all the boxes in his closet and started filling them with what little he had unpacked. Sasuke came running in the room, forgetting their little fall out. He held onto the doorknob with one hand and the doorframe with the other.

"What? We just-"

"Now!" Itachi shouted and kept packing. He was mumbling to himself and trying to figure out the best way to get out of town without their nosy neighbors knowing. If that man came here, someone would tell him where they'd gone. Sasuke had never seen his brother in such a panic. He couldn't think of why he was in such a hurry to leave when they'd only been there a total of 5 days.

"What are we running from?" Sasuke asked as Itachi ran around the room and threw everything in his boxes. He didn't answer Sasuke, he probably didn't even hear him. He was too busy trying to talk himself down.

"Itachi..." Sasuke stepped in the room and touched his brother's shoulder. Itachi froze and looked at him. Sasuke couldn't recall a time when he'd ever seen Itachi so shaken up. He grabbed Sasuke's shoulders and stared at him for a brief minute. The concern in his eyes transferred over to Sasuke and they both seemed worried now.

"Hurry up, and don't leave anything behind…we can't come back."

Sasuke’s heart pulsed. He had no idea why he was so scared right then but he couldn’t move. Itachi let go of him but he still stood there. He watched helplessly as his brother picked up a box and threw it across the room. He sat down on the bed and pulled at his hair. He took deep breaths and kept muttering something. He was still trying to convince himself that ‘they’ hadn’t found him.

“I’m not going with you.” Sasuke said, coming to his senses. Itachi’s unfocused eyes turned slowly over to his brother. They widened and he stood up without a rush. He started walking over to Sasuke with his hands at his sides. He didn’t know if what he heard was true or not but he was not going to let Sasuke stay here so those men could capture him and question him about things he knew nothing about.

“You can’t stay, you don’t have a choice.” He reached Sasuke and put his hand on the boy’s shoulder. Sasuke tensed and tried to move away but Itachi pulled him close and hugged him tight. Sasuke tried to get away again, he could feel with the first touch that this wasn’t the same Itachi he’d come to love.

“Don’t touch me.” Sasuke forced himself away and stepped back. “You’re not my brother.” Time stopped moving around them. Sasuke took another step back. Itachi went to grab him but he stopped mid movement. He couldn’t believe what had just come out of Sasuke’s mouth. Itachi’s face fell emotionless and he stood straight up. He didn’t see how much he had let his weak side show. He didn’t want Sasuke to see that side of him.

Itachi reached for Sasuke but he took another step back and turned around. He ran down the hall and went towards the front door. Itachi wasted no time going after him and he reached Sasuke before he could get the door open. Itachi slammed him against the door and trapped him there. His forehead pressed against Sasuke’s and their hips were just inches away from each other. Itachi put a hand on Sasuke’s chest and titled his head.

He blinked a few times as he watched Sasuke’s reaction to their closeness. His younger brother’s eyes were fixed on his and his heart was beating uncontrollably. Itachi hesitated at first but he leaned down filled the space between their lips. Sasuke panicked and tried to push him away but Itachi covered Sasuke’s body with his. He gripped Sasuke’s shirt until the boy calmed down. Itachi’s hand slid up his brother’s chest to his shoulder where he followed the smooth skin to the back of Sasuke’s neck. He pulled Sasuke closer and seared their lips together.

Sasuke moved his hands to Itachi’s chest but he grabbed Sasuke’s hands and put them at his side. He stepped an inch closer and rested his hips over Sasuke’s. Itachi was aching to strip the boy down and carry him off to the room but he did no such thing. He traces the line of Sasuke’s lips with his tongue until Sasuke gave him access and he entered the boy’s hungry mouth. Sasuke tried again to grab a hold of him before his knees buckled but Itachi only rocked their hips together.

Sasuke scratched at the door as he tried to gain control of himself. His eyes were closed tight and his lips burned. He couldn’t figure out why his brother was so suddenly giving him all the attention he had been asking for. He was lost in his thoughts when Itachi moved against him so hard that a moan escaped his lips. No sooner had he made such a sound, his eyes flew open and Itachi broke the kiss.

He grabbed Sasuke’s chin in his hand. “Don’t ever say that to me again.” His breathing was heavy. His jaw clenched and he moved back. Sasuke gulped and nodded, remembering what he said to Itachi. He wanted to grab Itachi and finish what they had started but every time he tired to get close to his brother Itachi pushed him away. Sasuke dropped his head but not two seconds later Itachi was back on him. He raised Sasuke off the floor and the younger wrapped his legs around Itachi’s waist. They stared at each other for a second.

“If we do this, you’ll never speak of it again.” Itachi’s lips glided over his softly. He put his palms on the door behind his brother and Sasuke draped his arms around Itachi’s neck. Itachi rubbed Sasuke’s nose with his. The boy smiled and Itachi allowed Sasuke to kiss him. They slid down to the floor and Itachi sat down, pulling Sasuke into his lap. The younger sat up and moved the hair from Itachi’s eyes.

“That’s what you said the last time. Yet, here we are.” Sasuke pushed him back and they laid on the floor. Itachi ran a hand through his brother’s hair and frowned. He didn’t know if he really wanted to do this to Sasuke…again. His mind ran over their situation and he didn’t think twice after that. He rolled them over and pulled Sasuke’s shirt off. Sasuke took a deep breath as Itachi laid kiss after kiss on his warm skin.

Sasuke raised his knees as Itachi laid his hips between his thighs. He groaned as his hardened member was smashed between the two of them. Itachi raised himself and lowered his body lightly. He settled and begged his own self to remain calm. He didn’t want Sasuke to see just how much he really wanted him.

Itachi felt the side of Sasuke’s body and held his waist. With his other hand he followed Sasuke’s smooth pale skin up to his shoulder, where he feasted dangerously on the boy’s exposed neck. He took his hand off Sasuke’s waist and forced it in between them, grabbing Sasuke’s manhood through his jeans. Sasuke was so startled that he bumped his head on the floor beneath him. Itachi kissed his neck again to calm him.

“Stay with me, Sasuke. Go where I go, and do what I do. We can’t be lovers but I promise to love you anyway.” He kissed Sasuke’s ear and whispered to him. The boy stopped moving comfortably under his brother. Was this his plan to get Sasuke to run away with him…again? Was he really going to resort to this?

“I don’t want your empty promises. If you won’t love me this way-“ He kissed Itachi’s lips gently. “-then I don’t want your love at all.” He turned his head. “I can’t allow you to make love to me if it’s not something you want. Don’t do this just so I’ll stay with you. I’ll let you take my body and then I’ll leave if that’s the case.” He looked at his brother and touched the side of his face. Itachi nuzzled his hand and kissed his wrist.

“If you can’t accept this then things will go back to the way they were. I will treat you as only my brother and nothing more.” Itachi sat up and leaned on one of his hands for support. He stared down at his brother. Sasuke seemed heartbroken. He didn’t even want to look at Itachi anymore. He kept turning away at any chance he got. Itachi grabbed hi face and squeezed. Sasuke stared at him now, his eyes heavy.

“I’d rather have you push me away than have you act like you care for me.” Sasuke pushed his hand away. “You’re nothing special if you’re just going to pretend to be in love with me. Its clear you want me, I don’t know why you’re hiding.” Sasuke sighed and looked away again. “You’re no longer the same Itachi I fell in love with. “You’re just a copy that he left behind.” He tried to get up but Itachi held him still.

“You must know I love you, Sasuke.” He spoke very quietly and didn’t attempt any eye contact. He felt Sasuke shift under him uncomfortably. He felt his younger brother take a deep breath and then exhale very slowly. Sasuke’s heart was beating fast but at times it slowed and would then speed back up. Itachi didn’t know what that meant. Was Sasuke realizing what he was doing?

“I know.” Sasuke said out of nowhere. Itachi’s fallen head was lifted back up. Sasuke’s eyes were full and his black irises were reflecting Itachi. He tried his best not to get lost in those eyes.

“Then why are you making this so hard on me?” Itachi frowned. He was sure he was doing the right thing by keeping them apart. So many consequences would befall them if people were to find out about them. Itachi wasn’t going to lose Sasuke because his heart wanted to be selfish. He’d worked too hard to get them to where they were now.

“Because you forget that I love you too.” Sasuke tried his best to sit up and kiss him but his love-neglecting brother had returned and stopped him. Itachi stayed quiet. He imagined himself in Sasuke’s place. He would probably be doing the same thing if he was in love with Sasuke and Sasuke was the one pushing him again. It would be his only goal to receive his brother’s love in return. Itachi took a deep breath before he got off of his brother and laid next to him.

“And this is what you want?” Itachi asked as he put an arm behind his head and stared up at the ceiling. Sasuke didn’t answer him right away. He knew he was probably going to regret all of this but what kind of person did Itachi take him for? Was Sasuke really going to let his brother control him but having sex with him? Sasuke knew he was a stronger person than that.

“I want a lot of things, Itachi.” Sasuke stood up and grabbed his shirt up off the floor. “I can only hope I get some of them, right?” He started walking out of the room. Itachi waited until he was at his room door to call him. Sasuke turned at the sound of his name. He was hoping Itachi had changed his mind-

“We’re leaving when it gets dark.”

-but there was no luck for any such thing in this world. He could beg for all kinds of answers to his many questions about Itachi and why he wouldn’t truly love him, but all he would ever get would be thousands of excuses.

-----

When night fell Sasuke didn’t hesitate to follow Itachi around as they started taking boxes down to the car as quietly as they could. Sasuke could easily say that he wasn’t ready to leave but he didn’t want to be without his brother, that much he was sure of. So he obeyed his brother and packed his room back up. He whined at how they were going to survive now. They’d wasted money on those mattresses that they weren’t going to take with them. They wouldn’t have money to buy anymore in whatever next deserted town they came upon. He made a mental note to tell Itachi that sleeping on the floor would be just fine.

They were coming back up the stairs from the car when they heard a feminine squeal come from the third floor. Sasuke stopped and Itachi pretended he didn’t hear anything. He kept walking until he heard it again, only it was a bit louder. Itachi changed directions and Sasuke followed him to the stairwell of the third floor.

“Orochimaru let go of me. Eww, you’re such a prick.”

Itachi quickly recognized the voice to be Haku’s. He was half whining and half groaning. The boys stepped closer and started up the stairs slowly. Itachi thought back to what Haku had told him about the tenant of apartment 13. He mentioned something about only coming out at night and giving Haku crazy glances. Itachi couldn’t remember the guy’s name but he was almost positive it was just as long as the tongue Haku had mentioned.

“You know what? If Kisame finds out about this you’re dead. Get your hands off me.” Haku sounded like he was really struggling but no one was coming out of their apartments to help. Oh? Itachi forgot that all the tenants were pansies and were terrified of Orochimaru. He stepped up the last three steps and hid in the shadows. He saw a man force Haku back and against the wall next to the apartment he had emerged from. He held Haku by the wrists and smelled his hair. For some reason this angered Itachi. He balled his fist and stepped closer but Sasuke stopped him.

He looked back at Sasuke and the boy shook his head. He apparently had heard all the rumors about Orochimaru too. It went around the building that the reason the haunted apartment ten was empty…and haunted was because Orochimaru had killed both of the inhabitants. Itachi looked away from Sasuke in time to see Orochimaru released his tongue and take it from Haku’s neck all the way to his cheek.

“Oh my god! Do you have any idea how gross that was? Ick! Quit it!” Haku tried to move again but the man pressed him against the wall with his body. “Give me a break, what are you gonna do? Rape me? Cause I sure as hell don’t want it.” He spit on Orochimaru’s face but the nasty guy only licked the saliva off his skin. He cracked his neck and rubbed his nose over Haku’s cheek.

“Haku Haku Haku, you play so dirty. Now you see why I want you so bad.” He hissed. His voice sounded just like he looked, malicious. Haku made a face that was either him being disgusted or confused. He slammed his head against the wall when Orochimaru licked his jaw line and then slid his tongue over the boy’s Adam’s apple. Haku closed his eyes and started to whimper. Itachi couldn’t take anymore of Haku’s little cries so against Sasuke’s wished he stepped onto the third floor.

“Haku.” Itachi’s voice was firm in the darkness. With only the light from Orochimaru’s apartment he turned around and looked at Itachi. He growled and felt Haku still trying to get away. He held the boy tighter, imprinting horrible burns on Haku’s wrists.

“Itachi, my love, gah, thank goodness you’ve come to save me from this nasty snake. Get him off of me.” Haku threw his head into the wall again when Orochimaru turned around and hissed at him. He held his breath and tried to remain still as Orochimaru’s grip only got worse. Haku closed one of his eyes and tried not to scream.

“Let him go.” Itachi smoothly.

“Yeah, you heard him. No let me go, you pig.” Haku mentally covered his mouth and bit his tongue. His big mouth was going to get him killed tonight. Orochimaru let Haku off the wall but he held on to one of the boy’s arms as he swung him around and embraced him with his bear-like strength.

“And just who might you be?” Orochimaru licked his lips and nuzzled Haku’s hair. Haku tried to pull away but his face was smashed into Orochimaru chest and he could barely breathe. He panicked and tried to move but his heart began to race as his lungs reached for air, so he stopped trying.

------
(A:N “And just who might you be?” Orochimaru said. “Your worst nightmare.” Itachi whipped out a cape and started flying around the room like a bat. -Sorry! Wouldn’t you die laughing if he said that?)
-----

“…”

“Oh? You have nothing to say, boy? Well if you cannot answer then he is nothing of your concern. Leave me be.” He started walking into the apartment.

“You’ll go nowhere with him. He’s mine.” Itachi stated and then the world ended, sort of. Sasuke froze, as did Haku, and even Orochimaru stopped moving. He grabbed Haku’s hair and yanked his head into view.

“How much truth is that?” He asked the boy who was now crying. Tears tortured his face and he coughed as he tried to get air. He tried to turn and look at Itachi but Orochimaru was nearly pulling his hair from the roots. If he moved, he couldn’t be sure that the man wouldn’t rip out all his hair. He sobbed harder now that he was staring at the man. Orochimaru seemed to be upset that he couldn’t have what he’d left his room from.

“…true.” Haku coughed and grabbed his throat. It was burning and so was the wrist that was still in the snake’s grasp. Orochimaru looked at Haku and then flung him towards the elder Uchiha. Itachi caught him before he hit the ground and held him in his arms. Haku turned his back to Orochimaru and buried his face in Itachi’s shoulder. They watched as Orochimaru stared hard and then vanished into his apartment, slamming the door. Haku continued to cry as Itachi lifted him and walked back down to their floor.

Sasuke pushed open Haku’s door and they walked into his apartment. He ran around the kitchen and bathrooms looking for any first aid as Itachi laid Haku on his bed. He let Haku go and moved to get up but the boy still held onto his shirt. Itachi didn’t try and pry him away. He could only imagine the type of fear the boy was going through. And what if he and Sasuke had left that afternoon? Would that man have raped Haku? Would the whole complex have let it happen?

He sat next to Haku on the bed. It was a lot more comfortable than his was and it was off the floor to where Itachi’s feet barely reached the ground. Haku was holding his shirt in such a way that Itachi was leaning over him. Haku’s crying slowed to a halt but he never let go of the shirt. He stared passed Itachi’s bangs and into his eyes.

“I…well…Itachi I-“

Sasuke came back in the room and pushed Itachi away. Haku let go of him finally and Itachi stood at the side of the bed. Haku’s head was bleeding where his hair had been pulled and his wrists were changing colors. Sasuke dabbed the blood away and applied little traces of alcohol. Haku shuddered but he laid still. Sasuke rubbed his bruises in cocoa butter and wrapped them in light gauss.

“Don’t move, I’ll get you some painkillers.” Sasuke left the room again. Itachi looked down at Haku and frowned. The boy looked like he was having a hard time breathing. Itachi sat back down next to him and put his hand on Haku’s chest. His breathing was uneven and his heartbeats were irregular. Itachi frowned as he stared down at him.

“Please, don’t look at me like that. I know I must look horrible but you’re scaring me.” Haku attempted a small smile. Itachi’s frown would have let up but it only deepened when he saw the graceful blush glide over Haku’s face. Itachi was beginning to regret sitting back down. Their closeness was more than uncomfortable. He’d better move before-

His thoughts were too late when Haku grabbed his shirt again. He’d been holding so tight the first time that he’d stretched it out. Now his grip was more firm and he refused to let go as he pulled down and Itachi gave up pulling back. When they were close enough Haku took a deep breath-

“Thank you, Itachi.” Haku sat up just a little and their lips collided. Itachi didn’t know why he accepted the kiss and returned it. Maybe somewhere in the back of his mind he knew Sasuke was right about him being attracted to Haku. Maybe something in his mind was telling him that Haku was his escape from Sasuke. Maybe somewhere he really did want this. Haku’s lips shivered as Itachi blanketed his body with warmth. He was shaking so much that he had no choice but to end his bliss.

“Thank you.” Haku laid back down and let go of Itachi’s shirt. His innocent blush had turned into an embarrassing cherry red un-removable stain across his face. He bit his bottom lip as Itachi stared down at him and breathed easily. He nodded and fingered through Haku’s hair.
.
.
.
Outside the door stood Sasuke. He wasn’t sure if he was in a nightmare or if he was really being punished for turning Itachi away earlier. He could feel his heart melting away like the seconds on a clock. Could he really blame his brother for this? Did he have the right to be mad when if he had just laid with Itachi earlier then maybe they would still be laying together?

-“And this is what you want?”-

-“I want a lot of things, Itachi. I can only hope I get some of them, right?”-
