Fiery onyx orbs glared into heated azure. Neither of them wanted to back down.

“Checkmate.” Naruto groaned and fell backwards onto his bed. They had been playing chess for two hours straight and he had yet to beat the brunette.

“Why~!” he complained grabbing his hair. His white t-shirt rode up revealing his tanned stomach. Sasuke’s mouth went dry at the sight.

“I told you, you can’t beat me usuratonkachi. There’s no use in trying.” Sasuke said with a smirk catching sapphire blue eyes through pale lashes. A foxy grin on Naruto’s face was all the warning he received before the Uchiha was tackled to the carpeted floor of Naruto’s room.

“I know another game we could play sa-suke.” There was that husky voice again. Sasuke swallowed thickly his voice suddenly lost somewhere in deep sky blue eyes.

Warm dry lips were on his before he knew what was going on. The shocked gasp he released was all Naruto needed and he soon felt the blond’s tongue against his pale lips before it went to devour his mouth.

Then Sasuke’s cell phone started vibrating. With a sigh Naruto backed off and licked his lips while Sasuke dug his cell out of his pocket.

“What.” He answered it tersely.

“You sound upset little brother, did something happen that I’m unaware of? ” his elder brother teased from the other end of the phone. The younger Uchiha sighed inaudibly and got up off the floor.

“No, why are you calling me?” Sasuke asked. Naruto watched with a bemused smile on his face. He was getting tired of being interrupted.

“I’m not allowed to call my little brother without a reason? ” Itachi asked with mach hurt in his voice.

“You never call without a reason. Spit it out.” Sasuke replied in a deadpanned voice.

“I was wondering if you’ve eaten yet. ”

“Not really, naruto and I have been playing chess since we got back from classes.” Sasuke replied as he picked some lint off his shirt. He glanced over to Naruto who was raising an eyebrow at him.

“Alright, be ready I’m coming to pick you up. ”

“Who says I want to go eat dinner with you?” Sasuke asked irritatedly.

“You don’t want to eat dinner with your big brother? ”

“Fine.” Sasuke said with a sigh.

“Thought so. Be there in thirty minutes. ”

The one good thing about where I worked was the kind of music they played. I like just about every kind of music (I am an artist and I don’t discriminate against different styles) but I have a thing for rock and metal. The house band Akatsuki that included most of my friends played different songs in both genres.

Sasori was the keyboardist, Kisame played drums, Kima played lead guitar, Kai played the bass and I did vocals every now and then. Since Akatsuki thought Flyleaf was badass, including me, I didn’t do vocals much.

Our female friend Konan would do them. She’s a little spitfire with elbow length purplish blue colored hair and cool amber eyes. She wore her hair up in an oriental style with chopsticks and had a paper flower in her hair. She also had a lip piercing which was a silver ball in the middle of her bottom lip.

It took a lot to get her riled up but if you did you would regret it. Hell hath no furry ne? Anyway they were playing ‘So Sick’ by Flyleaf at that moment while I served customers drinks. Konan had an amazing voice and it was also amazing that she hadn’t been picked up by a scout yet.

I served a man his drink and turned to ask the person what they wanted and came face to face with Itachi Uchiha. My heart leapt into my throat before all the blood rushed to my groin.

Damn why did he have to look so hot in casual wear. He wore a crimson silk button up shirt with a pair of black slacks. His mid back length dark chocolate colored hair was tied at the nape of his neck in a loose ponytail.

“You’ve been avoiding me.” He said watching me intently. I shrugged trying to look nonchalant and took another guys order.

“Not my fault, yeah.” I said before motioning to the band.

“Got work ya know?” I said shrugging my shoulders. He didn’t buy it for one second. Damn sharp Uchihas…

“I was once told that if I ever had a problem I couldn’t solve on my own that I could rely on you. You do realize that this works both ways correct?” I paused in the middle of pouring a shot. Damn he was right.

“It’s nothing big, yeah. Don’t worry about it.” I said as I gave the customer his drink. Damn it was a full house. The glare he sent me said he knew otherwise but I was thankful he didn’t press.

“Well, since you’re here, why don’t you order something?” I said as I stuck more money in the till. The look he sent me caused me to laugh out right.

“Yeah I get it, you don’t drink.” I rolled my eyes at him.

“Step one, talk about gay sex. A lot. ” Kima Zetsu’s voice rang in my head. Of course I did hear some interesting noises coming from Sasuke’s room last night. Why the hell not.

“You know, I heard the most interesting thing-” I stopped mid sentence when the bane of my existence walked through the door. Shit! It was my ex-boyfriend Kimimaro.

The reason I broke up with Kimimaro wasn’t because he was an overbearing possessive man, no in fact he was the exact opposite. It had really hurt to break up with him but he would always come around begging me to take him back.

He had long silver colored hair that he wore down, amazing emerald green eyes and smooth pale skin. He’s actually the same height I am but he’s a lot skinner than me.

Itachi must have seen the panic in my eyes because he turned to look at whom I was staring at. His eyes narrowed dangerously. If I hadn’t known Itachi was straight then I would have thought I saw jealousy in his eyes.

“Kaguya.” Itachi greeted none too warmly. Jade green eyes that had been glued to me turned to regard the brunette. Kimimaro was wearing a white button up shirt and a pair of black slacks. He always did dress nice.

“Uchiha. What are you doing here?” he asked his silver brows creasing in confusion making the red dots next to them on both sides turn into ovals. I turned my eyes in a pleading fashion towards Itachi but his attention was solely on the silver haired male in front of him.

“I have right to be here just as everyone else.” The Uchiha replied smoothly. It was a known fact that Kimimaro worked for Orochimaru Sanin, the head of Oto Corp. one of Uchiha Corp.’s big time rivals. As head of Uchiha Corp. Itachi had to deal with Kimimaro a lot.

My ex-boyfriends gaze drifted to me and I felt a pang in my chest.

“Look Kimimaro, I really can’t date you. I’m really sorry, yeah.” Hurt jade green eyes looked down before glancing over to Itachi. My eyes widened. Did he know? Our eyes locked again.

“Be careful Deidara.” He said then he left. I blinked a few times wondering if that had really happened. My gaze shifted back to Itachi and it looked like he was calculating something. I was about to speak when Kisame came up to the bar and slapped Itachi hard on the back. A lesser man would have flown forward but Itachi wasn’t a lesser man.

He turned and glared at the dark skinned man.

“It’s rare to see you here Itachi.” Kisame spoke as I handed him a bottle of water. Sasori, Kai and Kima joined us at the bar. I raised an eyebrow at Sasori and he just shrugged.

“Konan had to go home. Something about Nagato and Yahiko fighting again.” Kima told me as he chugged half his bottle of water. He wiggled his eyes suggestively and tilted his head in Itachi’s direction before Kai elbowed him in the side.

“What was that for?” Kima asked as he rubbed his ribs.

“What do you think it was for?” Kai countered. I tuned them out and became instantly enthralled in one of my favorite past times. Itachi-watching. He and Kisame were in a heated discussion about the economy of all things but I didn’t really care.

I loved the way his eyes would light up when he was angry and I love it twice as much when they lit up because he was discussing something he liked. Unfortunately for Kisame the fire in his eyes was the former of the two.

A customer flagged me down and I went back to work with a sigh.

Itachi-watching would have to wait.

Sasuke sighed and straightened his navy blue silk button up shirt again. He was still wearing the outfit he’d worn to the restaurant with his aniki, the silk button up shirt and black slacks.

The blond haired man next to him wore an orange long sleeved shirt with a pair of tight black jeans. He also wore the strange red trench coat with black flames lining the bottom of it. He was also wearing his favorite pair of high top Chuck Taylors All Stars that were black with orange trim.

Sasuke never did understand Naruto’s sense of taste.

Naruto had insisted they come to the bar where Deidara worked and listen to the band. His dinner with his brother had been quite normal up until the end where Itachi asked if he and Naruto were in a relationship.

Sasuke hadn’t answered. How could he when he himself didn’t know what they were. To say the least he was caught off guard. He wanted Naruto to be more than just a friend but he had no idea how to go about it. It wasn’t like he was shy or anything…

“Hey look there’s Itachi! Isn’t that weird?” the blond suddenly interrupted his thoughts as he pointed towards his older brother.

“How is it weird dobe? He’s friends with the band members.” Sasuke replied giving Naruto a disdainful glance.

“Oh.” Was all the blond said.

I saw my little brother long before I saw Itachi’s little brother. Naruto had an artist’s sense of style. Well an abstract artist’s…even I had problems with the way he dressed sometimes. I mean come on who wears obnoxious amounts of orange? Well at least he’s not dressed head to toe in it like he was in his early high school days. My eyes are still stinging from that…

“Hey Itachi, our brothers are here.” I told him before serving Kisame again. The band was finished for the night since Konan had to leave and I was the only one there to work the bar. Kisame threw back the shot of whiskey like a pro. The man could drink like a fish.

“Hey bro! SoCo and Lime!” I glared at Naruto as he sat down at the bar next to Itachi. I glared at him with a twitching eyebrow.

“I’m not serving you idiot, you’re underage.” Naruto grinned and winked. Sasuke rolled his eyes as he sat down next to him.

“Hey hey is the band done playing tonight?” I nodded at my brother’s question before wiping out some shot glasses.

“Damn, you were too slow Sasuke.” Naruto said with a pout.

“You were too slow, you’re worse than a woman usuratonkachi.” Naruto stuck his tongue out at Sasuke for that remark.

I wasn’t going to get to talk to Itachi tonight…oh well, I still had time right?

I swallowed thickly at that thought. I hope.
