Konoha Village is beautiful under snow, the white cold fluff clinging to shingles and hanging out on top of the ground and roof tops like pigeons. The people trekked their way through the streets and through shin high deep snow and in some places thigh high. Older children grumbled as they had to shovel snow, or if they were training to become a ninja, had to melt the snow away. Sasuke Uchiha remembered how he would breathe his fire on the path, easily making the snow disappear. Then he remembered how Itachi would make beautiful ice sculptures with his flame and how he used to watch his brother with awe. Not anymore.

"Sasuke! Come and play card games with me and Itachi!"

Sasuke looked over at who was talking to him, though he knew who it was. It was Naruto Uzumaki, a perky almost overly energetic blonde boy about the same age as Sasuke. He pulled at Sasuke's sleeve. "Come on. You chicken?"

"Yeah. I'm chicken. Go play with your boyfriend," sneered Sasuke and slapping Naruto's hand off of his sweater. The blue eyed boy shrugged and sat next to Itachi, cuddling up next to him and helped him with solitaire. Itachi chuckled as Naruto dropped some cards and scrambled to get them.

An angry swell engulfed Sasuke's heart, fertilizer for his jealousy and rage. He'd been waiting so fucking long to be able to obtain Naruto as his, to get close enough, to see into his very soul. He should have known though. His brother was always asking about Naruto and was wondering if he would be coming over again. But he was eight years older than the both of them; it's almost illegal for them to be like this! Sasuke silently growled at the two kissing. Someday I'll rip your throat out, Itachi, he growled in his head.

"Does it go here?" Naruto looked up at his Itachi, blinking cutely at him. He was trying to put a red queen on a red 2.

"No, babe," Itachi ran his hand over Naruto's chest, up his arms and to his hand that was holding the queen, "This goes with a black king."

Sasuke clenched his hands angrily. He didn't know if Naruto was trying to be cute or what but he was working something over his brother. He wanted to hit something, start a fight with his brother and tell him that Naruto was his. He resisted punching the window he was looking out of.

"Why won't Sasuke play with us?" Naruto asked Itachi. Because I fucking love you and you're all over my FUCKING BROTHER! Sasuke thought furiously.

Itachi shrugged and said, "He must be feeling angsty."

"I am not feeling angsty!" He yelled. He realized his yelling at them proved his brother's point, and, with a final snarl, went outside to cool off.

"Sasuke…" Naruto stood up to go after him but Itachi held onto his hand. Naruto looked back at Itachi with concerned worried eyes.

"Let him figure things out," the long haired man told his boyfriend kindly, "I don't know what's up with him but he needs to be alone for a while."

"But he's always alone now-a-days…He doesn't talk to me much anymore…" a few dew drops of tears appeared around Naruto's eyes. Itachi couldn't stand to see him like this. With a tug, he pulled down the blonde and kissed him. Naruto's heart sunk and disappeared into blissful peace for a second, Itachi's warm and reassuring lips pressed against his making everything okay. Opening his mouth, Naruto's tongue sought entrance in the other's mouth. He was granted in and the two lovers twisted and rubbed themselves against each while Naruto ran his hands up Itachi's lean and large muscular frame. Even through the dark long sleeved shirt, Naruto felt the power sleeping underneath the surface, shivering in excitement. Itachi bundled up Naruto into his lap and let his hands wander to the small of Naruto's back. Naruto's eyes opened like an awoken child. He saw dark child eyes looking at him and short raven hair. He jerked away.

"Naruto?" Itachi looked worried. He breathed, trying to calm himself from that sudden recollection of memory, a half buried one that Itachi's touch stirred up. Naruto nodded slowly. "…I'll go and talk to him. Okay?" He kissed his forehead and got up to go outside.

"…Oh! Your coat, Itachi!" Naruto ran and got his thick heavy jacket and offered it to Itachi. He smiled, taking it from him, and with a final kiss, he went away.
