Soundtrack for my life

Chapter 1:

*BLUE*

He has an open life with lots of opportunities. And somewhere, in the back of Sasuke's mind, he knew he had missed opportunity to experience the beauties of this life a long time ago. Did he regret the missed opportunities? From time to time, yes because he had to deal with an older brother who did not act like one, but there were also times when he thought that it was better for him that he did not always do what he wanted. He realized that some people in this town needed him, and not only his brother who was just waiting for him to bail him out of trouble.

As Uchiha Sasuke flipped through the stack of papers on his desk there was knock on the door of his room. As Sasuke turned to see who it was, a longhaired head peeped in. Seeing Itachi, he turned back to his stack of papers and started rearranging them, again. If there was something he hated, it was sloppiness.

Itachi entered quietly and fiddled with some clothes that were hanging on the chair beside the door and then turned towards his little brother.

He "chirped" in a merry voice: "Hi Sasuke! Good to see you! Bad time?" as he eyed the stack on Sasuke's desk.

Sasuke rolled his eyes: "Whether it's bad time or not, you don't care so why do you bother asking?"

Itachi chuckled and leaned on Sasuke's table, eying his black nails: "I came to ask you two questions. One is if I can borrow that black shirt you bought the other day."

Sasuke frowned: "I think it's a little small for you."

Itachi chuckled: "Maybe, so it will be a tight fit... just as I wanted..." he licked his lips automatically still eying the nail that had black polish chipped off.

Sasuke sighed and rolled his eyes again as he went to the dresser and took out the neatly folded shirt. Itachi grinned at the sight of the shirt and took it when Sasuke handed it over. When the shirt was neatly seated in Itachi's arms, he looked at his watch: "As for the second question, are you coming to 'Bonnou'tonight? Coal Chambers is performing. You might just enjoy the show for once," he smirked.

Sasuke rolled his eyes bemusedly as he retrieved some books from the shelf. 'Bonnou' was the nightclub led by Itachi; he had a hard time making his brother do something with his life. Itachi had graduated with honors and top grades but he never took his responsibilities too serious. He was popular all around the town even though he was only eighteen years old. Having causing more trouble for his younger brother than good, he decided to do something creative and useful. He decided to open a club. Which was a brilliant success, to Sasuke's surprise because his elder brother tended to play around even with his own job.

He shrugged: "I don't know Itachi. I have assignments to grade and prepare for tomorrow's lesson. If I finish quickly and have enough time to get ready for the club, I might come."

Itachi grinned at his younger brother and tapped him on the back: "Come on! You are twenty-four and still have your nose in the books. I know you were a nerd in school and an all-knowing encyclopedia, but now you have a job so relax a bit."

Sasuke frowned and forced a smile onto his face. Yes, he was a nerd when he was in high school and yes, he did spend the majority of his time studying. That was why he had a decent job and a mocking brother at his back. He liked his job, being a literature teacher was what he had always wanted and yet somehow, now he could not find any satisfaction in being what he was. It felt empty going to work day after day and not actually going anywhere. And at some points in his life, he was jealous of Itachi's carefree life. He eyed the stack of papers and sighed: "Fine... I will come. I'm gonna call Suigetsu and have him come with me."

Itachi smiled "Excellent! I will see you there little brother! Deidara and Sasori are waiting for me. I have to get going! Be there around nine to get your special seat from your bro!" he winked and exited the room.

Sasuke watched his elder brother exit the room and then slumped back into the big armchair that was seated beside the window. Yes, his big brother always had the best seat reserved for him when he decided to come to the club. That is why many people wanted to hang out with him. Everyone knew that he was Itachi's brother and no matter how dull they thought Sasuke was as a literature teacher, they would brace themselves for one night just to be seen with him in the prime seat in the club. Well... everyone except Suigetsu.

Sasuke went to elementary and high school with him so he could say that he grew up with him. They were the only persons static in his life, Suigetsu and his brother. Everything else changed and got turned around. And even if Suigetsu's all-time rants got on his nerves and sometimes gouged out anger explosions from him, Sasuke still hung out with him and Suigetsu never got mad at Sasuke. He once said that he was annoying even himself with all the constant talking.

He took his cell and flipped it open. There was message blinking on the screen and he opened it- 'Suigetsu- Itachi told me you are coming to the club. I will meet you there at half past eight. Cya!" Sasuke snorted 'Already? Damn, when Itachi knows something, it spreads like fire in forest. Damn him...' he thought sourly as he flipped his cell closed. He leaned his head back and stared at the ceiling for some time then got up and entered the bathroom to take a shower. If he goes out, he will at least look decent.

~8:30 PM~

As Sasuke approached the entrance of 'Bonnou', he searched for Suigetsu. People eyed him as he walked through the masses, trying to spot light-blue hair and most probably a violet t-shirt. He never understood why Suigetsu liked those kinds of shirts especially in a violet color, but he never argued with him about that. It was way too trivial. He spotted him near the entrance, talking to some other person. As he tried to approach him, he looked at the red neon letters above entrance of the club that spelled 'Bonnou'. His brother was so flashy and flamboyant, but he could care less. What he was happy about was the policy that was made in the club that Itachi personally demanded. It was quite a shock to other people- no homophobes allowed.

In Itachi's words, his club was pair-free and if he sees someone disturbing any kind of couple, they would get not only an earful from Itachi but would be thrown out of the club and never allowed in again. In Sasuke's opinion, that was probably the only sane thing that Itachi had ever done.

"Hey there Sasuke!" called out Suigetsu. "How come you decided to visit your brother's club?" Sasuke stood beside him and shrugged: "I don't know. I guess I was bored." The violet-eyed man laughed: "It must be hell if you decided to go out." As Sasuke snorted, Suigetsu sniggered and proceeded to drag him inside the club.

The interior of the club was in all ways weird. Sasuke guessed that it had to be something to do with Itachi's flashy attitude. The whole place was built in a circle and had drink bars on the left and right from the center. There were three floors, the dancing floor in the middle of place that had red and blue flash-balls all around and above. From there you climb up to the first level where were dancing poles and dancing tables that had neon-white and blue lights. On the right and left in the corners there were hard, glass steps for the next stage. There were tables for sitting and in the corners were so-called VIP seats. There were four seats like that and they had big round tables with snacks and a leather couch that covered the whole corner.

All around the place were red-glassed mirrors that reflected most of the light in the club, making the area look blood red. There was also a small stage in the far corner of the club, where bands usually performed. And tonight on stage was supposed to be Sasuke's favorite band- Coal Chambers.

Sasuke smirked- Itachi knew that only this kind of opportunity to see his favorite band would drag him out of the house. He could bet all his stuff that Itachi had planned this. He scanned the area around him as he went together with Suigetsu to the floor above them, searching for Itachi. He could not see him anywhere, but instead he spotted lots of Itachi's friends. There was masochistic Hidan sitting beside some brunette girl. Sasori and Deidara were arguing about something as usual and Nagato and Konan were talking peacefully.

As he climbed up to floor with his friend, he immediately spotted trouble. A girl with pink hair, tied into a bun tonight was chattering away with her friend and standing right beside Sasuke's VIP table. Apparently the whole town knew he was coming if Sakura was waiting for him. Suigetsu visibly winced: "This is bad...," he muttered to himself. Sasuke had heard him and in his head had completely agreed with him. Itachi would pay for this.

There was high-pitched squeal and pair of arms encircled Sasuke's neck from behind. Sasuke's eye twitched, of course, how he could forget Ino. After all, she cannot let Sakura "steal" Sasuke for herself. She would never allow it.

As Sasuke proceeded to remove Ino's hands, Sakura had already approached and started her swooning: "Oh! Sasuke-kun! You look absolutely ravishing in that tight shirt!" Sasuke just rolled his eyes as Suigetsu chuckled. Sakura looked at Ino and glared: "What do you think you're doing Ino?" Ino just laughed at her and then proceeded to 'eat' Sasuke with her eyes.

She was completely ignored by 'the love of her life' as he proceeded to sit in his place. He glanced at the black metal card that said 'Itachi's special' and rolled his eyes again, noticing that he had been doing that a lot lately.

He flopped down on the leather couch and Suigetsu followed close behind him. The girls were openly staring at the two empty seats with longing in their eyes. It was obvious that they waited for an invitation from Sasuke or even Suigetsu to join them. They thought that since they went to high school with Sasuke they would be immediately invited to sit with them. After all, they were long time friends.

Sadly for them Sasuke did not intend to invite them and Suigetsu knew that. In addition, sometimes, he himself was annoyed by those two so he did not see the reason in inviting them. He wanted to have a great time tonight and that would be ruined by Sasuke's mood if the two girls joined them.

A tall silhouette approached the table out of nowhere. Itachi had a graceful smirk painted on his face. He was dressed in Sasuke's shirt that was a bit small for him and pair of tight jeans with a red loose tie around his neck. His hair was in its usual ponytail and he had several trinkets around his wrist.

"Well, well, who do I see here? If it isn't my little brother!" he sent a grin to Sasuke but he was stared down by him.

"Tell me Itachi, how they knew I would be here?" he nodded at the two girls who were still nearby, just in case.

Itachi glanced at them and then turned back to Sasuke: "I thought you wanted some company and what better company than that of two beautiful ladies? On the other hand, maybe you prefer men? I know a couple of cute guys," he smiled oh-so-innocently, as he sat down beside his brother. Sasuke just stared at him.

"If I wanted 'company' I would find some myself. I don't want my evening to be ruined by two crazy fan girls." Itachi just chuckled and shook his head.

"You need to start seeing people. Don't be so introverted," he mused aloud as he leaned back and put his hands behind his head.

Sasuke sighed and crossed his arms: "When I want to date someone, I will date. Who and if I date is none of your concern Itachi."

Itachi looked at him and sighed, sending small, sad smile: "Alright, if you say so." He stood up and straightened his shirt. "If you ever need something, you know where to find me," he waved and went downstairs to join his friends.

Sasuke stared at his retreating form when Suigetsu's voice reached his ears: "Wasn't that a bit harsh? I mean, he only tried to help you," he shrugged.

Sasuke watched people gather on the dance podium as he replied softly, "I know I was, but he needs to realize that throwing the most rabid fan girls at me won't help me find someone at all. That only manages to irritate the hell out of me. I do not want him to intrude in my life and I do not want to depend on him. I hope you realize that."

Suigetsu sighed and nodded: "And in the end, you always have a point."

Sasuke smirked and looked at the other man: "Don't I always have point?" and then both of them proceeded to snicker.

The loud beat of dance music had slowed down and changed to a slow melody of intro for the band. Sasuke sat straight up so he could see the band on the stage. His seat was positioned in a way that he could see the stage head on. The keyboardist started a slow intro tune of their most famous song 'Devils Never Cry.' The song was greeted with roar of approval. Everyone started jumping and screaming as the first strums of the guitar filled the room.

Suigetsu smirked and glanced at the girls that still stood near them, looking longingly at Sasuke, and he sighed. They probably did not know that when Sasuke's attention is occupied by something he likes, there is no force on this world that can snap him back until he finishes what he is doing. In this case, until the concert finishes, Sasuke will not notice anyone or anything except the band that is performing on the stage in front of them.

It was near midnight when the band finished its performance and left the stage. The techno music was back up and the night continued to flow along.

Sasuke stood up and stretched, grabbed his jacket and went to leave the club, Suigetsu following behind him. They left the Ino and Sakura to glare after them. They were not pleased by the treatment of their 'schoolmates' at all. Instead of being invited to sit down with them, they were ignored and then they had to push through the crowd on the floor.

Sasuke did not care about them. He had to put up with them throughout high school, but now that he is out and finished college, he would evade them as much as possible. There was no way that he will spend more time than needed with them.

He reached his house in matter of twenty minutes and after saying goodbyes with Suigetsu, he proceeded to his room. He tossed his keys on the table in the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water. He entered his room and sighed as he placed the glass beside his bed. He knew that Itachi would not be staying for the night so he proceeded directly to bed. He had classes tomorrow and he had to get a little rest at least. The last thing he saw, before falling into a peaceful slumber, where the neon red numbers of his digital clock showing one in the morning.

The morning was peaceful and as Sasuke had suspected, Itachi had not returned last night. Instead, he heard keys unlocking the front door quietly as he sat at the table having a cup of coffee with toast and re-reading some notes for today's lecture. He did not even glance up from the papers as he called out "There is more coffee in the pot if you want Itachi." He then proceeded to pack the papers and books into his black backpack.

Itachi's head peeped in kitchen: "Is there toast too?"

Sasuke nodded as he chewed on the last bit of his breakfast. Itachi strode into the kitchen, his hair out of its ponytail, and his shirt half-buttoned as he grabbed the nearest cup and filled it with coffee.

Sasuke took off his glasses and packed them. Itachi looked up at him as he chewed on a piece of toast. "So how was it?"

Sasuke looked at Itachi and then ran his hand through his bangs, sighing "Tiring. But all in all it was a good performance."

Itachi snorted, "Don't be modest! Just tell me outright that it was great! I know you like Coal Chambers so just let it out!" he smirked at the young teacher.

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "If I knew that this wasn't planned I would tell you that," he said as he stalked out of the room, followed with mock-disappointed "Oh, come on!" He smiled to himself- it was good but he would never tell Itachi that. He has too much of ego to begin with.

When he arrived at school, he was still in good mood. But annoying teenagers, male teachers complaining about taxes and females complaining about ruined make up, topping with half of them asking him out- ruined his mood in matter of few hours. He was never known as patient person and all these people did test his patience. In the end, he used up all the free minutes on the cell phones of the male populace of teachers and spilled all the powder belonging to the female part of the lecturers just to spite them. Of course, no one saw him do that so it was all blamed on students, but he did not care since they pissed him off as well. They would all get low marks otherwise.

When he was finished with all his teachings, he left the building and called Suigetsu.

"Hozuki Suigetsu speaking, Mr. Uchiha Sasuke. What can I do for you today sir?"

"Cut it out I'm not in the mood," snapped Sasuke tiredly, rubbing the bridge of his nose as he walked slowly.

"You are never in a good mood when get out of that torture house. Honestly, you should stop working there. Itachi has enough money for you to last for years."

Sasuke rolled his eyes: "Well, you see that's the problem; I don't want to depend on him. I think I told you that last night. I don't like to repeat myself."

Suigetsu laughed on the other line: "I know. However, I think it would be better for you to give private classes. There is less stress and you get to work at home. It would be good for your health."

Sasuke hummed lowly: "That's not bad idea... I will think about it... It sounds tempting," he chuckled humorlessly.

He could just imagine Suigetsu rolling his eyes on the other side of the line.

"Tell me if you decide to do that. I can arrange your first few classes. I know a few students that need some tutoring..." Suigetsu continued to chatter away, as Sasuke half-listened to him. He was so lost in his own thoughts that he did not hear Suigetsu. What was more frightening at the moment was that he did not hear the loud beeping from behind him.

He turned just in time to see a man pressing hard at the breaks of his car, making it turn to the side and making Sasuke jump and fall on his back, his cell falling a few meters from him. He groaned as he tried to sit up, his back feeling sore from gliding on the hard concrete. There was a loud snap of the door and then hurried steps walking towards him. He felt a strong hand grab his upper arm and pulled him gently in sitting position. He still had his eyes closed as he leaned on one leg for support, another arm holding his waist. He never felt such strength around him- yes, he could say that Suigetsu was strong himself, but it seemed that this person was radiating energy. He was brought out of his daze with a gentle, but a bit hurried and messed sentence: "Are you alright?"

He managed to open his eyes and the first thing he saw was blue. Everything around him was blue. Bright, baby blue eyes stared worriedly at his black ones. Blonde, short and spiky hair made this person look like he was wearing golden crown. However, he knew that this looked way too good to be truth. There had to be some catch behind this and he was not wrong.

"Please tell me you are! I have to call an ambulance! Does anyone have a cell! Please, he needs help!"

Sasuke wanted to punch the idiot above him for making so much noise.

"I'm alright! Calm down!"

Blue eyes returned to scan his face, as Sasuke groaned and sighed: "I'm fine, really." However, blue eyes stared at him, and that unwavering gaze felt like it was looking right under his skin. He did not move an inch as he stared back at those sky blue eyes. But everything has to end... one way or another. Since this blonde person yelled for a cell, some woman in a hurry tripped and bumped into the blonde man and pushed him right into Sasuke's face and, as fate wanted it, locking their lips.

Now, it's not like Sasuke had never kissed before. The thing is that he had never kissed a man before. He never considered himself swinging that way no matter how many times Itachi implied the possibility and teased him. He considered girls annoying and he did not like the blushy-swoony-giggling girls that hit on him, including both Sakura and Ino. But this feeling was irritating. He could not say if he liked it or not. The feeling was strange yet so familiar. The current situation of being startled by sudden lip lock made him stare in equally surprised blues.

No one moved.

People stared at them and they didn't move. It was then that the reality of being watched kissing a man kicked in and he pushed the other man off of himself. Sasuke panted heavily as he stared at the other man who looked surprised and dazed for a few moments, before breaking out into a yelling fit: "What the hell do you think you're doing! First, you almost hit me with your car and then you kiss me! What's wrong with you!"

He pushed the man and made him fall. As he tried to pull himself back up to his feet the blonde man groaned and yelled "I am apologizing for almost hitting you, but I didn't kiss you on purpose! I never wanted to do that! It was higher cause!" he glared at the woman behind him that was clutching her cell in her hands. Sasuke huffed and picked up his backpack and looked around for his cell. It was a few feet away and he picked it up. When the cell was stashed into his pocket he continued walking down the road like nothing happened.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Sasuke mentally groaned as he turned to face the blonde idiot again. He was taken aback at first by his height. Sasuke was fairly tall, but this man was few inches higher than he was. Nevertheless, he muttered: "What do you want now?" The blonde man fidgeted then broke out into a feat of apologies: "I am so sorry! I didn't mean to hit you! Some asshole cut me off and I had to turn to avoid crashing! I beeped for you to move but you didn't hear! I'm really sorry!"

Sasuke's eyebrow was twitching, he didn't need explanations, but it seemed that it was relief for this person to state why he did what he did. When the blonde was finished, he stared at him.

"You finished? 'Cause I have to go now." He turned to leave but was grabbed again from the upper arm and dragged back towards the car: "I'll give you a ride. That's the least I can do since I put you through this trouble." Sasuke felt it again. It wasn't the tight grip on his arm, it was strong enough to pull him without allowing him to wriggle out of the grip, it was that strange comforting energy radiating from the other man, soothing him and making him feel warm.

"By the way, name is Uzumaki Naruto. Nice to meet ya," Naruto grinned at him as he pushed Sasuke into the passengers seat. When Sasuke was seated, he hopped over to the driver's seat and started the engine. "And yours?" he asked curiously as he moved from the place of accident.

Sasuke glanced at him and muttered: "Uchiha Sasuke."

Naruto's brows furrowed for a moment, "Uchiha? Are you in some relation to Uchiha Itachi? I have a photo shoot arranged with that guy. I was told he was quite a flirt and to be careful," Naruto chuckled as he watched Sasuke snort and roll his eyes.

"He's my brother."

Naruto's eyebrows raised in comprehension as he watched the road closely. "Really now? It's really as they say, world is indeed small," he grinned and turned the corner.

Sasuke remained seemingly silent for the rest of the ride. Naruto drabbled mostly about his job and asked about Sasuke's job too, which prevented him from staying completely silent. Naruto might be a stranger and he might almost have hit him, but it was very impolite not to answer. Sasuke learned that he was a photographer and photo-editor for the prestigious journalistic company "Whirlpool" that wrote about celebrities and their successes or failures, in other words paparazzo. Naruto laughed at that comment and tried to convince Sasuke that he was shooting pictures only after arranging them in advance, but that excuse didn't hold water for him.

The ride was pretty short and when he exited the car, Naruto waved at him and sent him a smile "I hope there are no hard feelings about... what happened..." he blushed slightly and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

Sasuke snorted and shook his head "No hard feelings. It was an accident."

Naruto looked at him and smiled "Thanks. I guess... I'll see you around." Sasuke nodded and closed the door.

He watched the car drive down the road and shook his head. He wondered how many weird people he would meet. For now, Deidara tops them all with Naruto following him close behind. Really, have you ever seen one person making such a commotion about a few scratches on a hand?

He fiddled with his keys but the door creaked open and black smoke gushed out. Sasuke turned his head, coughed, and then kicked the door open. Smoke poured out in black waves and the fire alarm was going off. Sasuke's eyes widened and he threw his backpack onto the outside steps and entered the house while covering his nose with his shirt. He searched for Itachi but he could see nothing. He coughed loudly and continued to search: "ITACHI! Where are you! Itachi!"

He managed to enter the kitchen but there was no sign of his older brother. The smoke was getting to him and making him dizzy. He staggered, grabbing the railing in the corridor, attempting to climb the stairs, but his strength failed him. He tripped and fell on the staircase, his lungs filled with smoke and there were burns over his hands and face. He couldn't breathe, it burned in his chest and his eyes started to tear up from the smothering air.

As he was lying down on staircases, he could hear in the distance a voice calling for him. He didn't know who that was and he didn't have the strength to stand up and look for that person. He heard that someone reached him and he felt that someone grabbed his arm and then sneak the other around his waist, picking him up bridal style, making his head lean on broad shoulder. Somewhere, some part in the back of his mind came to conclusion that this wasn't Itachi. Itachi's shoulder was more slender, not muscled. The last thing that he saw, before letting himself fall into blissful darkness, was blue...
