After Itachi was finally taken out, by Kabuto of all people, Sasuke refused to leave his brother's room.
Sakura had tried to entice him out with tea, and gossip, and finally tears, but got only silence and a closed door in return. Naruto had tried to force Sasuke out with a rasengan through the wall, but only managed to burn himself with chakra backlash when the Uchiha protective jutsus surrounding Itachi's room activated.
When Kakashi showed up, slipping through the traps and exploding tags lining Itachi's window, Sasuke did not look up from his position on Itachi's bed. Kakashi didn't speak as he placed a hand on Sasuke's wrist, easing the white-knuckled grip on Itachi's pillow. And Sasuke didn't speak as he pulled his captured hand towards him, knowing that Kakashi wouldn't let go, that it would bring the older man down to his level where he could bury his face in soft grey strands and wish that they were jet black.
As Sasuke let himself be pressed into the mattress, he shoved the hitai-ate off of Kakashi's head, needing to see that eye staring back at him, red and alert and alive.
"Please," Sasuke whispered, and Kakashi stripped him bare and tried to forget about how crowded it was in the bed with Itachi's ghost still tightly wrapped around his little brother.
When Sasuke came, Kakashi pretended not to hear which name he called.
