Itachi was calmly walking through the hideout, towards his room. He just finished his mission and after reporting to Leader-sama, who looked at him with a strange glint in his eyes (amusement maybe?), he just wanted to rest.

Deidara walked by and smirked at him, making Itachi raise an eyebrow. Why was everyone looking at him like that? The blonde continued walking down the hallway. Itachi shook his head, wondering what was going on in the bomber's head, then again, he didn't want to know.

He reached his room and was about to answer when he heard strange sounds, almost like a whimper and some grunts.

He opened the door and looked around for the potential threat, but as he discovered what or better who the "threat" was, his eyes widened and his mouth hung open in shock.

There on his bed, was his younger brother. Though he wasn't just sitting there. His back was up against the headboard, ropes around his chest, pinning his arms to his sides, his wrists were crossed behind his back and tied together tightly. A cloth was stuffed into his mouth and tied behind his head with a tight knot, while another cloth covered his eyes, blindfolding him.

His otouto was struggling against his bindings, but he seemed to be very weak and tired. The confusion left Itachi as soon as he sensed his brother's chakra levels, which were almost down to zero. Someone must've drained his chakra, in order to capture him.

His face grew dark. Who dared to even touch his precious otouto.

Itachi silently took off his Akatsuki cloak, walked closer over to his bed and sat down. His brother must have heard the movements and felt the bed dip beside him, because as soon as Itachi sat one the bed, a muffled gasp could be heard. He tried squirming away, cleary afraid, knowing he was pretty much helpless. Though, before he even moved an inch, Itachi pulled him back to the middle of the bed.

Sasuke hated to admit it, but he was terrified. He had no chance of escaping, being tied up and gagged. The blindfold prevented him from seeing anything and using his sharingan, not like he could anyways. His chakra levels were way to low for that. He had no idea where the hell he was. He was just taking a walk in the forest, not being able to stay any longer in Orochimaru's hideout, when all of sudden a strange blond haired guy knocked him out, before he could even comprehend what was going on. And now he was sitting on a bed, completely helpless and the worst of all, completely at the mercy of the stranger next to him on the bed.

Knowing that Sasuke was most likely scared, he brought his hand up to Sasuke's cheek and started stroking it gently. The skin under his fingers was so incredibly soft and he couldn't help but smile slightly.

At first Sasuke flinched away from the hand stroking his cheek, but he noticed something about the gentle touch. It was familiar and it made his skin tingle. But how could that be? Who was the person next to him?

Itachi's smile widened slightly as he noticed Sasuke relaxing slightly. He didn't really like seeing his otouto in an uncomfortable position like this, so he decided to untie the cloth that kept Sasuke quiet.

The younger raven felt the person reach behind his head and start pulling at the tight knot of his gag. Soon he felt it loosen and the cloth was pulled out of his mouth. First, he took some deep breaths through his mouth and moved his jaw to lessen the slight ache in it. Soon enough he felt slender fingers, gently caressing his jaw and he found the courage to speak up."Who are you? Where am I?" he could hear a slight waver in his own voice. No answer."Why am I here? What do you want from me?" Still no answer.

Itachi decided to wait a little more before he revealed who he was. He placed a hand on Sasuke's chest and lightly pushed him onto his back, making Sasuke gasp in shock. He put some pressure on his otouto's chest, showing him he was supposed to stay there. He got up and went into the bathroom to clean up and change into more comfortable clothes.

Sasuke was shifting uncomfortably on the bed. His arms hurt and after a few minutes they began to grow numb. He moved onto his side, hoping it was a better position, but he only managed to make the ropes around his arms tighten, making a pained whimper escape his lips. He could barely move, but he didn't have to try as strong arms wrapped around his waist, pulling him up into a sitting position. A sigh of relief left his lips."Thank you" he muttered quietly."Can't you at least untie the ropes around my chest? I promise I won't try to get away"

Itachi hated seeing his brother in pain, so he complied and after a few seconds, Sasuke was free from the ropes around his chest. He saw the younger raven's expression brighten and watched as he moved his shoulders to release the tension in them. Itachi couldn't help himself and started caressing and massaging his shoulders to help him. He'd do anything for Sasuke, especially if it made him feel better. He decided it was time to take Sasuke's blindfold off. He untied the cloth and threw it away carelessly.

Sasuke blinked, trying to get used to the light again. As he finally saw the person, he almost got a heart attack."I-Itachi? Wha-why" before Sasuke could say anything else Itachi pressed their lips together in a gentle kiss. The youngers eyes were as wide as saucers and a light pink blush dusted across his cheeks. Was his aniki really kissing him? He found himself unable to think. Fuck it. He closed his eyes and started kissing back softly.

Itachi was surprised when his otouto returned his kiss. He wouldn't complain though. He placed his hands on Sasuke's soft cheeks, tilting the youngers head slightly to the side. He ran his tongue over his brothers lips and was delighted when Sasuke opened his mouth to let him in. Itachi explored the smaller raven's mouth and he let out a slight groan. God, his lips are so soft and plump.

Sasuke moaned softly, the light pink blush never leaving his cheeks. He never kissed anyone like this before and his brother was so gentle with him, it almost made him melt. Well, he had already melted into Itachi's arms. But as always, all good things had to come to an end. Both of them were out of breath so they pulled away from each other.

Itachi looked at his sibling, who was looking down on the bed, panting as heavily as Itachi. Itachi smiled and cupped his brother's chin in one hand, making Sasuke look at him. His cheeks were flushed and to Itachi it was just too adorable. He let out a quiet chuckle and stroked his baby brother's soft cheek."Feeling better?" he asked, smiling slightly at him

Sasuke could only nod his head. It was obvious that he did. He never felt anything like that before. His heart was beating fast in his chest, in a good way. He leaned into Itachi's warm hand on his cheek and looked right into his brother's onyx eyes. What he saw there surprised him. Love, passion, admiration and longing. He wondered if his eyes looked the same, because he was feeling the same. A sudden tiredness came over him and his eyes slid shut.

The last thing he saw was Itachi's worried face.
