Locked Away
Chapter 1: Meeting
His life took a turn for the unexpected the day he turned 18. He couldn't be hosted in the orphanage anymore and, while fearing that he'd end up on the streets he didn't do anything about it and he still couldn't believe his ears when the social assistant come to talk to him.
"You have an older brother" he said while handing Sauke a bunch of papers. Apparently those papers proved the truth of the statement and blood tests were the proof of the like he and the mysterious man shared. "He has voiced his wish to meet you and since you'll have to leave here soon I thought the idea might appeal to you."
"Did he know I was here? Does he know what happened?" Sasuke said, clearly displeased with his brother's disinterest in coming to contact him sooner.
"From what I have heard he did not know. He has been searching for you since a logn time ago and finally found someone who seemed to fit, so he requested DNA tests to confirm your identity. "
"How did anyone agree to giving some unknown man my DNA results?"
"Since you were a minor, if it had proved he was your older sibling your custody could have been given to him so they agreed to do the tests."
"I see. But now I am an adult and what good can meeting him do?"
"Well, as I have mentioned before, he might support you in many areas."
"You mean financially. Are you that afraid I'll end up in the streets?" Sasuke asked nonchalantly. Honestly he had considered ending up there, but it did not scared him. His life hadn't been exactly rosy, so what could living in the streets do to him?
The man in front of him raised an eyebrow skeptically. He knew Sasuke way to well to be worried about something like that happening. Even since he had been a child, he never gave any attention to his own being. He just seemed to not care and although he had so much potential it was obviously just wasted.
"It is my last duty as your social agent to help you with this. Anyway, it is ultimately your choice if you want to meet him or not, but who knows? Something good might come out of it." he said and Sasuke understand exactly what he meant: his memories coming back.
But was that what he really wanted? He had been told all his life that his parents had been killed in front of him and that if his memories were to ever return he should not hesitate to tell the police, but was that really for the best? It's not like he cared much about himself, but he didn't have the energy to concern himself with an extra tragedy and he was sure that if his childhood memories were to ever return, his perfectly safe and sterile life would be damaged. He might actually get hurt and that thought he despised. He never knew love, happiness or sadness in his years in the orphanage and he did not want to start now, but in the end curiosity took over him. He did not care much about his past, but he was curious about his brother, so by the end of the discussion he had already planned a meeting with his sibling the next day.
He looked around with lazy onyx eyes, scanning his surroundings for his brother. The place where they were supposed to meet was a small café, which, by the looks of it was expensive enough for Sasuke to waste all his savings just to buy a bottle of water, but he was told to order whatever he wished without worrying for the price so he did just that.
As he was sipping the delicious coffee, he started wondering. His brother seemed to be rich, because he had inherited the family business. It was not entirely clear as to why Sasuke got lost and turned in to an orphanage, not being given any of the family fortune but it did not matter at that time. He wondered if they looked alike, but then a bitter smile spread across Sasuke's face. A man who never had to work for his money, who was probably sitting behind a desk all day long, winning money because of his simple presence, how could they have been alike in the slightest?
He tried picturing him as fat, or ugly or just simply a horrible person, anything that could have compensated for the easy life that he had led, while Sasuke had to work just to be able to buy a new T-shirt, but when he heard a man calling his name from behind him he completely lost his train of thought.
He turned around just to see the image of a perfect man, slender and well built, with long black hair tied behind in a ponytail. His eyes were a deep onyx and the scars beneath them seemed to make them stand out even more. He wore casual clothes but from the looks of it the must have all been big brand names and his smile told Sasuke that he felt entirely sure of himself. He was not sure if he completely hated the man already, but he was going to find out.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting" he excused himself with perfect manners as he stretched his hand forward.
"It's no problem. I just got here myself" Sasuke lied while politely shaking hands with his older sibling. Tensin could be felt in the air and Sasuke couldn't make out if his brother's smile was easing it or making it worse.
He sat down on a chair across the table and stared at Sasuke, scanning all his details. A short trace of melancholy could be seen on his face but it was quickly replaced by his confident smile.
"You've grown a lot" he said while ordering a coffee for himself without even looking at the menu. The waitress was clearly melting over the man in front of her, smiling and asking if she could do anything more for him, in a manner that suggested that she'd do really more than just bring a coffee and a biscuit.
"No thank you, the coffee should do for now" Itachi said with his deep voice, then he turned his attention to Sasuke.
"Well, yeah, I guess. Just the normal"
Itachi seemed somehow displeased and for a second Sasuke wondered what had made him mad, but then his expression changed as quickly as it came. It was obvious that the dialogue was dying out, but he was not going to let it go so easily.
"I shouldn't beat around the bushes now, should I? I know you have no memory of me and it must be hard for you to meet a stranger who claims to be your older brother, but as the things stay there was no other way." he paused for a little to look at Sasuke with serious eyes and then continued "I want to get straight to the point as it would make this situation easier for both of us. I want you to come live with me. Now that it had been proved you are an Uchiha, you will be given your share of money that mom and dad left behind, but until then you'll need a place to stay at and I wouldn't want you on the streets. What do you say?"
Sasuke was amazed at his tone. It sounded like they were having a business meeting going on, but at the same, something in his brother's eyes told him it was not just that, so he instinctively responded.
"Ok, if you're fine with me living at your place I don't mind either. When should I come?"
"I have arranged a room for you already and spoke with the orphanage. I'll be picking you up tomorrow at 2 P.M. from there. I trust you'll have enough time to pack everything."
Sasuke just nodded and after a while their discussion was over with Itachi excusing himself. They both stood up, shook hands and went their separate ways.
That night, while packing his few belongings in his room Sasuke was still thinking about his brother. He was not sure what, but something had caught his attention, fascinating him about the perfect man that was his sibling. Maybe it was because they were so different, or maybe he just wanted to find a flaw in Itachi, but Sasuke felt inexplicably drawn to the older man and so, for the first time in his life he felt anxious for the morning.
So this was it! Nothing happening... yet! But I promise it will, so please review and tell me what you think! Have a great day, my dears!
