Thank you everyone that reviews, they feed my very lusty muse. *huggles to everyone.*



Chapter Four



“Would you care to repeat that?” Itachi was staring at the two men with such ferocity that the detectives began to shift uncomfortably on their feet. They’d heard rumors about the man. He was a legend in the board room and not to be trifled with. If they didn’t know better they would think him appropriate for the mafia.



“Police investigators were called in when it was determined that Sasuke Uchiha was not driving under the influence. His car was brought to the police impound and thoroughly examined. It was determined that the line to his breaks was partially cut. No fingerprints were found. The cut was too smooth to be an accident.” The detectives explained what had happened but it was unspoken that the Uchiha name was why it had been taken care of with such haste. Sasuke Uchiha was the brother of Itachi Uchiha. That, in itself, was enough to have the police act with haste. They did not want the older Uchiha breathing down their necks should something have happened.



“But, Naruto and I…” Sasuke began, his eyes searching for Itachi’s in longing for comfort. He was beginning to panic again. Shifting on the bed his eyes pleaded with Itachi for comfort before turning to meet Naruto’s.



“What Sasuke means is that the two of us were riding together in the car a while before he left. We didn’t experience any trouble that I know of.” Naruto finished for Sasuke and sent a questioning look towards Sasuke, who shook his head.



“Just a little stiffness in the breaks but nothing major. I was planning on getting them looked at later.” answered Sasuke as Naruto began to stroke his hair in a calming manner.



Itachi, too focused on the two detectives, paid no mind to the loving way Naruto calmed Sasuke. Though calm on the outside, Itachi was furious on the inside. An angry Itachi was never a pleasant thing and Sasuke had known Itachi all his life. He could tell that his brother was angrier than he’d ever seen him. He was happy that Itachi cared so much to get angry but it bothered him seeing his aniki so upset. Even Naruto probably didn’t realize just how furious Itachi was.



“Well, that’s the funny thing about breaks. When you cut the fluid line, they don’t just go out. You have to run out the fluid that is in the uncut part of the line. The fact that you were going much faster than necessary when you attempted to break caused your breaks to fail and, as a result, the crash. It’s a very amateurish way to try to off someone and points to the fact that the culprit isn’t a professional. It was probably a harassment tactic more than an actual attempt on your life but we have to ask. Do you have anyone that would want you hurt?” The taller of the detectives asked Sasuke in a calm voice.



Sasuke shook his head. “No one.”



“I see. Well, obviously we will continue to investigate but without a solid lead there isn’t much we can go on. I would advise checking with your security company about the apartment complex. They may need to take more precautions in the future.” The detective slumped a little at the lack of a possible lead. It figures that solving this case wouldn’t be so easy.



“Itachi…I’m not feeling so well.” Sasuke was so pale that Itachi sent a death glare towards the detectives and grabbed the small wastebasket. Holding it beneath his brother’s face as he wretched into it, Itachi murmured comfortingly to Sasuke. He hadn’t eaten for a while so it was mostly mucus and stomach acid. The sight of the green stomach juices in the bottom of the basket nearly made Sasuke start gagging again and he sent an embarrassed glance to the two detectives that were still in the room.



“Get out.” snarled Itachi to the two gaping detectives as he continued to stroke Sasuke back. Not wanting to anger the older Uchiha, the two left post haste.



Whimpering in pain, Sasuke slumped against Itachi as his brother stroked the sweat dampened skin. Sasuke clutched at his bandaged abdomen as Itachi rocked his brother. He could feel Itachi trembling as he held him close. To feel his brother so unraveled would have been a sight he’d have wanted to see…if he wasn’t lying injured in hospital bed. “I’m sorry, ‘Tachi.”



Itachi closed his eyes and laid his cheek against his brother’s limp hair. He’d nearly lost his brother and to find out that it wasn’t an accident was more than enough to get his blood to boiling. He felt cold inside, as if something was freezing his innards. It wasn’t until he felt a something warm press against his back did he lift his head.



Naruto pressed his body to Itachi’s back while his hand stroked Sasuke’s arm. If anyone had stumbled into the room, they would have simply seen two men providing comfort to a third. Never would they have seen the underlying tension that each kept hidden from the others.



“Sasuke, do you need something for pain?” Naruto asked as his hand drifted to the pale face.



“No.” grunted Sasuke and Naruto let out a laugh.



“You suck at lying. I thought you were an Uchiha.” snickered Naruto as he pulled away, leaving Itachi tenderly stroking his brother’s hair.



“Hn.” Sasuke attempted to sound aloof but the grunt came out more as a whimper.



“I rest my case.” Naruto said as he hit the call button on the bed. The nurse answered and Naruto requested something for pain for Sasuke.



“I’m not taking it. It makes me sleepy and I’ve slept for like two days.” groused Sasuke and Naruto proceeded to ignore him and crossed his arms across his chest.



“Itachi. Tell him that if he takes his medicine like a good boy he will get a reward.” Itachi went still as a statue at the words and his depraved mind played over and over all the possible scenarios that such words could imply. Despite the fact that Sasuke was lying injured in a hospital bed, Itachi couldn’t stop the image of his brother taking Naruto while he watched. The image warred with the one of him taking Sasuke while Naruto sucked his brother off. Oh, Christ.



Itachi was on his feet and heading towards the door. “I’m going to smoke. I’ll be back.”



Striding down the hall, Itachi soon found himself in the outside smoking area. There were several nurses and an orderly puffing away. Standing a bit away from the other worshippers to nicotine, Itachi pulled out a slender stick of instant stress relief. He’d actually cut back in the last few months since Naruto didn’t like his unhealthy habit. After the images that still plagued his mind, he needed a fix.



Lighting up, Itachi inhaled deeply and instantly felt his body relax as his blood was flooded with the substance. Exhaling slowly, he leaned casually against the wall and watched the passersby without much interest for his thoughts were focused on the two younger men in the hospital room.



Having always been in control, Itachi found his sudden lack of it in recent days to be of moderate concern. He’d always thought his thing for Sasuke was a phase but as the years passed, he found himself drawn more and more to his little brother. The beauty of Sasuke never ceased to draw an internal reaction from Itachi. If he didn’t develop some control soon, he could loose them both.



Taking another drag from the cigarette, Itachi pulled his cell from his pocket. Fucking both his brother and Naruto wasn’t the only thing that filtered through his mind. He waited as the phone rang and a gruff voice picked up.



“Kisame, let me talk to Sasori.”



“Itachi? What the fuck man. It’s only ten in the morning for fuck’s sake.” groaned the voice and Itachi couldn’t stop the tick that developed on his temple. He still couldn’t understand what Sasori saw in the crass man. Sasori was a very refined and distinguished person. They say that opposites attract and he had to admit that Kisame and Sasori were complete opposites.



“Just put him on the phone.” Impatient at having to wait, Itachi closed his eyes in relief as Kisame grumbled but did as he was asked.



“Yes?” The cultured voice belied the fact that he’d just been woken.



“I’m calling in my favor.”



“I see. May I ask why the sudden interest in redeeming it?” Sasori was utterly intrigued by this. Itachi rarely called in owed favors. He collected them like a pimp collects whores. The fact that he would be calling in one from Sasori was…interesting.



“Someone tried to kill Sasuke. I want to know who they are and have them taken care of.” The coldness in Itachi’s voice sent chills up Sasori’s spine and his body broke out in chill bumps. Sasori knew that if anyone messed with his little brother they were pretty well fucked and not in the good way. The man had the power to start his own mafia family and the viciousness to succeed at it if he chose that route.



“You are a pretty public figure. Aren’t the police investigating?” Sasori already had his laptop running and was hacking into the police database.



“Perhaps, but I know you will do a more thorough job. I’ll cover any expenses just find out who tried to kill my little brother and why.” Itachi snapped his phone closed. Though Sasori worked in craftsman’s store, creating puppets that sold for hundreds of dollars, he was also one of the most gifted computer hackers in the United States with the instincts of a bloodhound. The man could probably find Jimmy Hoffa if he tried.



Tossing his cigarette to the ground, Itachi made his way to his brother’s room. Opening the door, he saw the two dozing on the bed. Sasuke’s mussed head was lying on Naruto’s shoulder. The angle looked uncomfortable but as long as Sasuke was comfortable, he wouldn’t move them. They looked content. They seemed to fit well together and that bothered Itachi. He wasn’t bothered out of jealousy but more out of concern for his sanity if the two became close. A time would come when he would shatter both their illusions and take Sasuke.



Staring at the screen of his laptop, Itachi set up a money account and emailed Sasori the information along with instructions that he was to contact him at the first lead. He heard rustling on the bed and glanced up as he closed his laptop to see Sasuke staring at him. “How are you feeling?”



“My leg hurts and I want to take a shower.” whispered Sasuke so not to wake up Naruto, who had begun to snore lightly.



“I can ask the nurse for something for you.” Itachi started to rise but a pale hand shot out and grabbed the sleeve of his shirt.



“It doesn’t hurt that bad and she just gave me something. Just sit and talk with me for a while. We have talked in so long that I feel lost without you, aniki.” Sasuke released his shirt and Itachi sat down once more.



Sasuke was quiet for several minutes before speaking again. “Am I staying with you and Naruto?”



“Yes. I’ve arranged for the guest bedroom to be set up for you.” Itachi spoke matter of factly and Sasuke dropped his eyes.



“If you don’t want me to stay with you, I can call Sai. He’ll stay with me for a while until the cast comes off.” offered Sasuke though his eyes were staring at the linen draped across his legs. He was staring so hard at the texture of his blanket that he failed to see the flash in Itachi’s eyes at the thought of Sai going anywhere near Sasuke.



Standing from the chair, Itachi stood beside the bed. Just the thought of Sai taking care of Sasuke sent a fresh rush of jealousy. The memory that the man had intimate knowledge of Sasuke’s body was nearly enough to send him on the rampage to destroy everything in his sight in order to make the man pay for touching what was his. Before, he’d known Sasuke had lovers but he’d never met one and was able to set the jealousy aside but after having actually met Sai, the only thing Itachi could think of was squeezing the life out of him for even thinking of touching Sasuke.



Lifting his hands to cup cheeks that were still far too pale, Itachi turned Sasuke’s face so that he was forced to look his brother in the eye. “You are staying with me. I won’t let anyone else have you.”



Sasuke was jolted by the statement. Itachi’s words were like a bolt of lightning that sent Sasuke into a tailspin. They were so possessive and he was unable to fight as Itachi dragged him against his chest. Naruto’s head flailed and he awoke with a start. Naruto stared at the way Sasuke clung almost desperately to Itachi.



“Did something happen?” he murmured sleepily.



“No. I was just letting Sasuke know that I won’t allow anyone else to take care of him.” said Itachi calmly.



“Well, yeah. Just the two of us will look out for Sasuke.” grinned Naruto.



“Hn. I like the sound of that.” Itachi tamped down the tendril of heat that weaved through his bloodstream. Both of his boys, in his apartment; it was an image that he had fantasized about many times. The image was almost enough to make him long to go smoke another cigarette or fuck Naruto…or both.



“When can he go home?” Naruto was nearly bouncing on the bed with excitement. He would have Sasuke with him to keep him company while Itachi was at work. He got so lonely sometimes but he’d never been brave enough to go visit Sasuke and then when the younger Uchiha started giving him the cold shoulder, he simply decided to obey his wishes and stayed away. It felt like now he was opening up. Now was his chance to make the three of them a family.



“Hey Sasuke?” asked Naruto quietly.



“Hmm?” murmured Sasuke as he nuzzled against Itachi, half asleep.



“Can I watch you paint some time?” Naruto watched as lazy black eyes opened and looked at him for a moment.



“I don’t care. Just stay out of my way.” Sasuke closed his eyes again and breathed deeply of Itachi’s scent. He smelled like his expensive brand of cigarettes mixed with his sandalwood cologne. The scent was heavenly and Sasuke cuddled closer, relishing in this rare showing of affection from his brother. More than likely it would end soon and he would once again be alone. Drifting off to sleep, Sasuke began to dream of smooth pale skin and soul stirring blue eyes.



The next thing Sasuke noticed was that he was alone in the hospital bed and his leg and abdomen were hurting. Not a scary hurting, but more of a painful ache that caused him to bite his lip. The room was dark from the drawn shade and Sasuke fumbled for the light switch on his bed control.



Bright light flooded the area over his bed and Sasuke winced as spots danced before his eyes. A knock on the door sounded and a tiny woman and a quite large man walked inside. Both were dressed in scrubs but Sasuke eyed them warily.



“My name is Beth. Charles and I are going to get you up and moving around. We brought some crutches so we can show you how to use them.” Beth smiled brightly and pulled the sheets off the bed causing Sasuke to grapple at his hospital gown to prevent from flashing her and her partner.



“Do you mind? Jesus, I’m practically naked here.” Sasuke all but shouted as the woman ignored his ire and grinned at his spiral covered cast.



“That’s some nice art work there.” Beth ignored his frown and reached out a hand to help pull him to the side of the bed. Biting his lip in agony as pain shot up his leg and brought tears to his eyes. The heavy cast encompassed his entire leg to nearly his groin. Just sitting up on the side of the bed made his leg hurt. Whatever these two had in store for him would not be pleasant.



For the next thirty minutes, the two torture experts made sure Sasuke knew the proper use for the crutches. By the time they left, he was crying freely as his leg and abdomen throbbed painfully. He called the nurse for medicine for the pain but was told that he would have to wait for a while. He didn’t want to seem like an addict looking for a fix but he hurt like fucking hell. Praying that Itachi and Naruto would get back soon, Sasuke closed his eyes bit harshly on his lip to attempt and hold the pain at bay.



That was how Itachi found him; tears rolling down his cheeks and hands clenched in the sheets of the bed. Itachi’s eyes widened and strode swiftly to his brother’s side. “Sasuke, what’s wrong?”



“Too soon for pain medicine.” he grated out between clenched teeth.



Naruto walked up behind Itachi and seeing how much agony Sasuke was in, began rubbing Sasuke’s shoulders and neck. His muscles were drawn tight and Naruto sent Itachi a glance. “Itachi, is there nothing that he can be given?”



Itachi exited the room and strode straight for the nurse’s station. The nurse he had seen giving Sasuke his medicine the day before was sitting at the desk writing notes in a chart. She looked up as he approached and smiled until she saw the perturbed look in his eye.



“Can I help you, Mr. Uchiha?” she asked cautiously.



“Yes. I want my brother given something for pain…now.” Itachi was barely civil in his tone and his deep set eyes flashed dangerously and brokered no refusal.



“I’ll have to check his MAR. Just a moment.” she said and quickly exited to the medicine room to check the medicine administration record.



Itachi was not used to waiting and his scowl grew after every minute that the nurse was away. After several minutes, the nurse exited the room and shivered slightly at the sight of the scowling man. “Jeannie signed off on his meds. He can’t have another pill for at least two hours.”



“You call the doctor or whomever you have to and get him something for pain or I will.” growled Itachi before returning to his brother’s room.



Tears continued to leak out of his eyes as he leaned heavily on Naruto, who was messaging his back and shoulders in an attempt to relax him and hopefully ease the pain. Naruto looked up pleadingly as Sasuke fought back another whimper of pain. Itachi sat carefully on the edge of the bed so not to jostle Sasuke any more than necessary and stroked his brother’s damp cheek.



“I spoke to the nurse. She’s going to get you something in a moment.” Itachi’s anger grew by leaps and bounds. His otouto was in pain and there was nothing he could do about it. His pain medicine was strictly monitored and could only be given at certain times.



Several minutes passed before the door opened and the nurse entered. She seemed surprised at the obvious amount of pain that Sasuke was in. Approaching carefully, she wet a cool washcloth and placed it on his forehead. “Sweetie, my name is Marlene. Can you tell me how bad it hurts? On a scale of zero to ten, what is your pain at?”



Sasuke mentally groaned. He hated being asked that. How could he begin to quantify what his pain felt like? It fucking hurt, what more did she need to know. “Eight.” he grated out before a shudder raked his frame.



“Sasuke, Jeannie has you listed as receiving your medicine for pain a short while before your therapy. Do you remember receiving it?” Marlene asked as she checked Sasuke’s pulse and frowned at the rapid beats.



Shaking his head, he just wished she would go away if she wasn’t going to help. It took far too much willpower to even focus on her questions. Groaning at the throbbing in his leg, Sasuke clung desperately to Itachi.



Itachi was worried and didn’t like the way Sasuke clenched his teeth and fought back tears. His brother was more agitated with the nurse there and he was about to ask her to leave when she spoke.



“I’m going to call the doctor and get an order to give you a morphine push. I’ll be right back.” Marlene smiled but there was worry behind her eyes. She had known Jeannie for years and if she was stealing pain medication then she could very well loose her license.



Sasuke whimpered and Itachi stroked his hair while murmuring softly too him. It didn’t take long before the nurse returned with a syringe of medication. Inserting the tip in the I.V. port, Sasuke went limp at the first push of morphine in his system. It was nearly instant relief for him. His eyes drooped and he smiled at the relief.



Giggling a little at the slight high, he turned to Itachi. “I love you.”



“Hmph, I love you too.” smiled Itachi.



“No, I love you. I want to fuck you.” Sasuke’s eyes closed as the last of the morphine entered his system. The nurse was blushing furiously and quickly exited the room while Itachi and Naruto stared at the medicated man before them.



“Come again?” Itachi finally said as the huge lump in his throat was finally swallowed.



Sasuke turned his eyes from Itachi to where Naruto was sitting frozen in place, his eyes almost comically wide. “I wanna fuck you too. Do you realize how many time’s I’ve jerked off to the thought of you with ‘Tachi and then me taking you while his cum is still in you.” Sasuke closed his eyes and licked his lips at the thought while Naruto sat wide eyed and blushing. He glanced at Itachi and saw a flush on his cheeks as well.



Sasuke mumbled a few things more but they were unintelligible and soon he was snoring lightly while the other two occupants of the room gaped at the sleeping form. You could have heard a pin drop in the room, there was such silence.



“It…umm…was the drug talking. Don’t think anything of it.” Itachi shifted a little to ease the ache in his trousers. Christ, the things coming out of Sasuke’s mouth had been like a dream. The thought that his brother would welcome his touch was thrilling but also something that was forbidden. There was no way Naruto would stand by and let Itachi fuck Sasuke. Now, the temptation would be almost unbearable now that he knew Sasuke would more than likely welcome it.



Naruto nodded and drew his knees to his chest and sat with his cheek propped against them. What Itachi didn’t know was that Naruto did it to hide the raging erection that let itself be known the minute Sasuke opened his mouth. Just the thought of Sasuke taking him after Itachi caused every ounce of blood to drift south.



“Don’t worry about it, Naruto. I’d never take him up on the offer. I’m yours.” Itachi leaned his head against the chair and stared at the ceiling as he pondered the words uttered from Sasuke’s drugged mind. Drugs loosened inhibitions, right? That meant that Sasuke wasn’t joking or kidding. He probably meant it. How long had he wanted him?



Naruto listened to Sasuke’s breathing and fought back the whine that had risen in his throat. He hoped Sasuke wouldn’t remember saying those things. He didn’t want him pulling away when they had finally started to grow close.



Close to a hour passed and the room remained silent, neither Itachi nor Naruto speaking. A low moan from the bed drew both eyes to it. The thickly lashed eyes fluttered and opened as a blurry eyed Sasuke blinked up. He noticed how both sets of eyes were on him and was a little unnerved by it. “What the fuck is your problem?”



“Umm, well…” Naruto stuttered around the answer and that only pissed Sasuke off more.



“Just spit it out, idiot.” Grumbling to himself about idiot blondes, Sasuke arched a brow and waited.



“Leave him alone, Sasuke. You were out of your head in pain and the morphine the nurse gave you made you a bit loopy.” Itachi settled back in the chair and sighed. It was better that he didn’t remember. It would make things uncomfortable once they moved Sasuke in the apartment for the six weeks he had to wear the cast.



“Loopy? What the fuck did I say?” Sasuke’s eyes widened and his face paled even more than before.



“You talked about a certain teddy bear and how you wanted to snuggle it.” commented Itachi and Naruto shot him a relieved look.



“Mr. Blue? I talked about the teddy bear I had when I was eight? Fuck, what did they give me?” Sasuke slumped against the bed and closed his eyes in relief. His secret was safe. Never in his life had he been so scared.



“Are you in pain, Sasuke?”



Black eyes opened to stare into blue. His leg hurt but it wasn’t like before. His stomach hurt but it was bearable as well. Shaking his head, he smiled at Naruto.



“Sorry for calling you an idiot, idiot.”



“No problem, bastard.”



“Alright, children.”



“He started it.” Naruto slumped in his chair with a pout and Sasuke couldn’t stop the smirk that curved his lips. The blonde was so cute when he pouted. He looked like a little kind instead of the nineteen year old young man that he was.



“Hey Sasuke, when we get home you’ll have me to take care of you so we can keep each other company.” Naruto offered cheerfully, the nervousness caused by Sasuke’s drug induced comments gone.



“Great, should I prepare myself for games of Chutes and Ladders or Hungry, Hungry Hippo?” commented Sasuke, drawing another serious of angry expressions from Naruto.



“I’m the same age as you so stop acting like I’m three.” growled Naruto.



“Actually, I’m older than you.” smirked Sasuke.



“Bastard.”



“Idiot.”



“Asshole.”



“Reject.”



“If you two don’t stop it I’m asking the nurse to medicate both of you.” Itachi purred as he glanced up from his laptop. He had let his work load slide the last few days because of Sasuke’s injury and emails sent by his secretary was proof of it. He really needed to get some of this out of the way before going back. As soon as Sasuke was safely at home, he’d resume his normal schedule.



“Aww, come on ‘Tachi. We were just playing.” The cute lower lip pushed out and Itachi nearly groaned. His cock was already hard from Sasuke and now add in Naruto’s sensuality…needless to say, Itachi was so hard that he was literally hurting.



“Naruto, if Sasuke goes home tomorrow, I want you to try not to rile him from a few days.” Itachi watched Sasuke send a triumphant smirk towards the blonde. “The same goes for you, Sasuke.”



“Hey, I’m the injured one.” Now it was Sasuke’s turn to pout and Naruto’s turn to giggle.



“Just try to keep from murdering each other for a couple of days.” Itachi looked at both pouting young men and tried to calm his raging hormones. Thank god, he would be at work during the day and could at least have some time without fighting a raging erection at the sight of the two. This was going to be a long six weeks.



To Be Continued.
