Me: (sigh) I can't believe I'm trying to start another fanfic. I have six chapters of another one that I'm stuck on and now I'm trying to write another?!
Sasuke: As long as I'm not gay in this story, I'm fine.
Me: (looks up) Well, Sasuke, that's what this whole story is about!
Sasuke: What?
Me: Yeah! Read the summary! It's about you and Itachi!
Itachi: (appears out of no where) What about me?
Me and Sasuke: AHHHHH!!!! WHEN DID YOU GET HERE?!?!?!
Itachi: Is it not common for people to walk around? What else do want me to do? She's got us stuck here. (points at me)
Me: Loser. I don't own Naruto or any song in this story or chapter or whatever…Review please, readers!
Secrets
Chapter one: Awkward and Uncomfortable
"Sasuke…Sasuke…"
I groaned tiredly as my name was called out from somewhere, but I couldn't see where it was coming from.
"Sasuke,"
The voice came again. It sounded so sweet, so kind. I wanted to reach out and touch it…
A light, familiar chuckle reached my ears. "I had no idea you liked to pull people down and hit their head on yours, Sasuke,"
My eyes snapped open. The first thing I saw was the dark, beautiful, perfect eyes of my older brother, Uchiha Itachi. I could feel his breath on my face and felt his hands on either side of my shoulders, along with an intense throbbing in my head. I glanced down and noticed that my hands were holding onto the front of his shirt. I must have grabbed his shirt when I was looking for that 'sweet' voice I'd heard earlier. No way was it Itachi. He was anything but sweet. A good word for him was…bastard.
"Hn." I let go of his shirt and slid out of bed, rubbing my eyes as I did so. "What do you want?"
"What, not happy to see me?" Itachi asked with mock hurt in his voice. I rolled my eyes.
"Maybe. Now what do you want?" I repeated. Itachi stood up beside me and smiled. "What?" I asked.
"Nothing," he said, shaking his head. He was hiding something, I'm sure of it. "But I do have something I have to tell you."
I stretched my arms and yawned. "Well, what is it?" I walked towards the door as I asked him, knowing he was following me. When we got to the kitchen, I got out a slice of bread and sat at the counter. Itachi leaned his elbows onto the counter, watching me amusedly. "Are you gonna tell me or not?" I took a bite of bread and sent him a not-so-amused look.
"Geez, Sasuke, you're so bossy," He mused. I sent him a glare. "Okay, okay. Mother and father are going on a trip and they're leaving today. They asked me to tell you, since you were asleep when they left." Itachi said.
"So? I care why?"
Itachi looked at me. I met his gaze. We sat like that for awhile. Finally, Itachi scoffed and looked away, smiling as he did. "What's so funny?!" I asked him.
Without answering, Itachi left the kitchen and went into the living room. Pouting, I followed. I found him sitting on the couch, the TV remote in one hand. He was flipping through channels, looking for something to watch. I sat beside him. He ignored me and instead focused his attention on some show that he'd found. "Itachi,"
"Hn?" Itachi continued watching the TV, without giving me as much as a side-glance.
"Itachi. Look at me,"
He turned his head slightly to face me. I rolled my eyes. Deciding that there was no other way to get him to listen to me than to get the remote, I made a grab for it, causing Itachi to jump in surprise. He didn't say anything, just smirked and pulled it out of my reach. I scowled at him. I sat up and slid forward more, coming closer and closer to the remote. Itachi obviously thought it was funny, because he started laughing. I ignored him and continued my task. Finally, I almost had it within my hand, when Itachi moved it again. "Itachi!" I yelled. He started laughing again. "It isn't funny!"
"Yes it is, Sasuke," Itachi laughed. I took a deep breath, then lunged forward again, but lost my balance and fell off the couch. Itachi, being the 'helpful' big brother that he was, who tried to catch me, came down with me instead, and we landed in a pretty…awkward position.
"Ouch that hurt," I groaned. I'd hit my head on the side of the table as we were falling. Seriously, what was with me and hitting my head on things today?
"No kidding." I heard Itachi laugh. "Geez, Sasuke, you're heavy," he said playfully.
"No I'm not." I argued.
"Well, then why couldn't I catch you without both of us falling onto the floor?"
I didn't answer. Instead, I looked at the position we were in. Itachi was laying on top of me, my legs were wrapped partially around his waist, partially around his thighs (how the hell did that happen?!). His arms were still around my waist after his failed attempt to catch me. I felt myself blushing, and saw Itachi smirk when he noticed my red cheeks. "See where you're foolish attempts got us?" he shook his head and sighed, standing as he did. "Here," he reached out a hand. I took it with one of mine, and Itachi helped me stand up.
"Well, if that isn't just about the weirdest position I've ever been in-with my brother no less-then I dunno what is," I muttered, wiping my hands together. "Well, except for that time that somebody in my class knocked Naruto into me,"
Itachi shrugged. He said something quietly that I couldn't understand, avoiding my eyes.
I glanced at him. "What did you say?" Call me crazy if you will, but I swear I saw him blushing. I smirked. "You're blushing," I taunted.
Itachi flinched. I chuckled to myself. I walked forward and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned and faced me. "What?" he asked.
"Tell me what you said," I stood up on my toes to be more level with him.
Itachi shook his head and started to walk away to his bedroom. "It's nothing," he said. I grabbed his arm and stopped him. He looked over his shoulder. "Really, Sasuke, it's nothing."
"Itachi," I whined. He glanced at me. "Come on, you can tell me! We always tell each other everything!" I frowned. What was wrong with him? Lately, he hadn't talked to me about anything at all. Usually, everyday after school, we would just sit and talk about our day, laughing and teasing each other. But…all this week, he hadn't said anything to me about his day, just 'It was fine' with a shrug. Itachi…I thought. "…Is there something wrong?" I asked gently.
Itachi narrowed his eyes. I saw this look in his eye, I wasn't sure what it was, but, for some reason, it scared me.
"…No, nothing's wrong," he murmured. I could tell he was lying.
"Itachi, you're lying. I can tell. What did you say?" I asked.
He just walked away, pulling his arm out of my grasp as he did so. I stood and watched him retreat down the hallway.
Brother…
Me: Okay, sorry it was so short, but the next chapter gets exciting! XD
Sasuke: What...the…hell…
Me: What is it Sasuke?
Itachi: He was hoping you'd let me kiss him this chapter.

Itachi: Hell yeah, I do.

Me: Weeeeeeeelllllllllll…..about that, Sasuke….

Me: You actually…do want to kiss him.
