Sasuke Uchiha was a seventeen year old boy who had everything a teenaged boy could hope for. He had great friends, a terrific older brother and most importantly he had his boyfriend of three years Naruto.
Sasuke was gliding contently in the autumn air to his friend's house and couldn't help but smile when a bird flew by or a leaf fall on him; his life was just so perfect.
Sasuke didn't know when it was that he'd gotten so lucky, but he did know his life wasn't like this until Naruto came into his life.
Naruto and Sasuke knew each other since middle school. Sasuke had always had some type of crush on the blonde but was to shy to approach him. It was pure bliss to Sasuke when Naruto was the one to do the asking out.
Beginning of flashback
It was summer and their last few days of middle school. Sasuke was sitting all alone under a Sakura tree, reading some type of advanced book that was way beyond his years.
Sasuke felt a presence sit next to him and snapped his head to look at the second party. Sasuke couldn't help the blush that crept across his cheeks as he saw who it was, none other than his all time crush Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto gave him one of his famous smiles and leaned in closed. Naruto smirked at how red Sasuke's face was.
"I've liked and admired you for sometime and I would really love it if I was your boyfriend." Naruto breathed into Sasuke face.
Sasuke felt like he was about to faint with complete happiness.
"U-um you're gay." Sasuke manage to get out. Naruto chucked and nodded.
"Off course I am and I'm glad too, so what do you say." Naruto paused and looked crestfallen for a minute. "Unless you're not and I've just made the biggest prat of myself."
Sasuke snapped his head to the blondes and instantly began to panic.
"N-no I w-would l-love to g-go out with y-you." Sasuke smiled.
Sasuke was shocked when Naruto brought his lips to his for a kiss and his face went redder than it already was.
Naruto lips were warm and welcoming and Sasuke closed his eyes in pure enjoyment. Naruto pulled away and Sasuke had to breathe to catch his breath but smile at the blonde all the same.
Naruto reached down and grabbed Sasuke's hand and they walked hand in hand the whole way home.
End Off Flashback
Sasuke beamed to himself as he remembered that glorious day. He was even more pleased when Naruto had introduced him to some of his friends, they took to him right away and Sasuke knew that they cared for him deeply, even though they never hang around with him unless Naruto's there. But Sasuke still knew they cared all the same.
Sasuke had a bit of trouble with Itachi his overly protected older brother, who didn't accept the relationship straight off. He didn't think the blonde was good enough for his precious little brother.
Sasuke kept trying to get his brother on side but he kept being stubborn about the whole thing.
Itachi gave in a few weeks later when he saw how content his little brother was and begrudgingly accepted the relationship, but still kept a close eye and the poor blonde. The atmosphere was so tense when Naruto was over at his place that they both decided that it would be for the best to only go over to Naruto's
Naruto and Sasuke were still going strong and were madly in love with each other.
Sasuke was so grateful for the blonde who pulled him from the shell he wrapped himself into and was a lot more confident than he once was. He was still shy but he could speak his mind a lot more.
There was a whole range of reasons why Sasuke had shut himself off from the world including his parent's untimely death. Sasuke was devastated when he came home from school one evening to the sound of police sirens and the sight of flashing lights.
The news of his parent's death had hit him like a ton of bricks. He felt like the world was ripped from underneath him. He was only seven at the time and never thought his parents could be taken away from him. But what hurt him the most was seeing his brother's tear stained face; it broke his heart to see his brother that way.
Sasuke always saw his brother as the strong one who can handle any situation, so when he saw his brother break down like that it kind of scared the hell out of him.
Sasuke loved and adored both his parents and still missed them dearly. He missed his mum's smile and the way she use to make his favourite dinner and the way she used to hug him so tight that he couldn't breath. She was a wonderful mother who loved her children equally.
He also missed his dad although he was a lot tougher on him than his mum was; Sasuke still knew that he cared. But Sasuke always resented the fact that his father had more time for Itachi than him.
It took Sasuke some time to accept and try and move on from their deaths, but he had Itachi with him every step of the way, which he was truly thankful for. Itachi also mentioned that he had Sasuke to thank too. Sasuke couldn't say he wasn't surprised because he hadn't really done anything for Itachi. Itachi just smiled at him and poked him on the forehead.
Itachi was always there for Sasuke and never hesitated when Sasuke needed him, his little brother always came first no matter what.
Sasuke remembered this one time when Itachi had some tickets to a concert he's been looking forward to going to for months and bragged to his friends every chance he got, but it wasn't meant to be as Sasuke had come down with the flu and Itachi decided to stay home and look after his poorly little brother.
Sasuke had argued black and blue with Itachi that evening saying this could be a once in a life time opportunity. Itachi had waved him off saying it was a concert there was going to be plenty more where they came from and without further argument from either side Itachi stayed home.
Sasuke couldn't lie and not say he wasn't thankful because he was and he realized that day that his brother would do anything for him probably even kill for him.
Sasuke remembered when he had introduced Itachi to Naruto his new found boyfriend. Itachi was less than pleased and tried to go for the poor boy.
Itachi was one of the most important people in Sasuke's life and couldn't be happier when Itachi finally gave him and Naruto their blessing. There were still some minor hostility but it began to slow down bit by bit and Itachi didn't try to harm Naruto everytime he saw him.
Sasuke's school life was more delightful than it once was. Sasuke used to be bullied something chronic due to his shy behaviour. He was seen as an easy target for bullies.
Sasuke remembered how scared he was every morning that he had to walk to school and saw his tormenter's waiting for him by the school corner. They would taunt him and shove him until he fell on the ground and them for good measure they would throw a couple of kicks and punches.
Sasuke had tried to fight back one time and he got a harsh beating for his troubles, but that night Itachi had found out everything.
Sasuke didn't actually tell him who it was but the next day Itachi followed his little brother to school and that's when he saw some older kids on top of his little brother.
Itachi was so enraged and uncremendously threw the bullies of off his brother and beat them black and blue. Sasuke remembered how they tried and begged for mercy but Itachi didn't let up and left with a single warning 'You touch my baby brother again and then I'll kill you.'
The bullies never touched Sasuke again but the bullies still ruthless taunted him.
They still did occasionally but he had friends now and Naruto to keep him company so it wasn't as bad and lonely as it was.
Sasuke was glad to have Itachi in his life just like he was glad he had Naruto.
They had both helped him from bringing hi out of his shell, to helping him make some amazing friends. He was also glad he had finally moved on from his parent's death and that life seemed to be so much lighter.
Sasuke Uchiha was content with life and unaware of the heartbreak that was waiting for him that very same evening.
Xxxxxx
Sasuke was relaxing and having a good time over at his friends Jugo's house. Jugo could be considered as another big brother for the raven due to the fact he was just as over-protective of the raven as Itachi was. Sasuke known Jugo since he was four and Jugo was eight.
Jugo was kind and gentle but people thought otherwise due to his bulky size and fits of rage he sometimes had that he couldn't control.
Jugo smiled at he came in the room with a tray full of tea and snacks, and set the tray on the coffee table in front of them. Jugo sat down casually in the chair next to Sasuke's and smiled at his long time friend.
"So Sasuke how are you?" Jugo said politely. Sasuke beamed as he took one the cups on the tray and took a small sip.
"I'm good, you?"
"Hm the usual, it would be nice if you came over and see me more but I'm guessing Naruto has been keeping you all to himself?" Jugo chuckled. Sasuke turned bright red and shook his red with a nervous laugh.
Jugo had a point though he did spend most of his time with Naruto but recently Sasuke couldn't help have the feeling Naruto was up to something. He seemed distant.
"Sorry about that, I don't mean to neglect my other friends." Jugo nodded.
"I know that Sasuke but everyone is wondering what's happened to you, you hardly ever see anyone anymore including your brother and you live with the guy." Sasuke cast his eyes to the ground as he said this.
"I know but I just love Naruto so much and…I'm scared that I'm losing him, he's being so distant with me lately. What if he doesn't love me anymore?" Sasuke whispered. He didn't wan too lose Naruto.
"Sasuke that boy loves you dearly and he wouldn't do anything to hurt you. He loves you." Jugo insisted. Sasuke smiled a thankful smile at the orange haired man, who gratefully returned the smile.
"Yeah guess you're right like always." Jugo laughed at this before slyly replying."
"Well what can I say…I'm the greatest man to ever live on this wonderful green planet." Jugo joked dramatically. Sasuke rolled his onyx eyes at the outburst.
"That's the cheesiest thing I've ever heard." Jugo gave a good natured laugh, nodding his orange head.
"Yeah I know…but it cheered you up didn't it."
"Yeah it did, thank you"
"Your welcome"
Sasuke smiled at his friend and punch his arm playfully.
Sasuke knew Jugo only had time for a few select people, although as kind as Jugo was he kept himself to himself.
Jugo hadn't had the easiest of lives and it got worse a couple of years back when his lover Kimmimaro died of an illness. Jugo never truly gotten over this and basically closed his heart off to people. Sasuke was one of the tiny few he did let in.
The rest of the evening was uneventful just talking about nothing in particular and having a good time. Sasuke grasped as he looked at the time on his watch. It was nearly nine o' clock at night.
"Oh my god is that the time, oh I've got to get going I promised Naruto that I would come around his place tonight." Sasuke jumped up in a state of panic. Jugo was amused by the display and settled down in his arm chair.
Jugo nodded and watched in amazement as Sasuke rushed around the apartment getting all his stuff together before exiting the front door in haste. Jugo chuckled lightly and shook his head slightly, as he got up of the arm chair and headed to his room for some kip.
Sasuke rushed to the apartment that Naruto had gotten himself a few months ago. He was so excited to see the blonde and had hoped he didn't mind about him being late.
He was so excited he kept tripping up the stairs as he made his way up them and literally banging the door open.
Sasuke grinned as he took a look around the flat for his favourite blonde. He couldn't help but scowl at the dirty laundry and plates lying on the floor unattended.
Sasuke made a mental note to help clear this place up for Naruto after school tomorrow; the place was a pig sty.
Sasuke shrugged and decided to search for his missing boyfriend; a thought hit him and went for the bedroom. Sasuke boisterously threw the door wide open but the sight that a waited for him on the other side broke his heart in two.
The smile on Sasuke's face dropped as he saw the scene in front of him. He couldn't believe his eyes as tears began to swell up inside them, right in front of his eyes was the man he loved the most in bed with someone else, both of them stark naked.
Naruto jumped when he heard the door slam and instantly looked up into Sasuke's hurt eyes. Naruto quickly got up to put his clothes on but was stopped by his lover's hand. He smiled down gently to him before turning his gaze on the broken and hurting raven in front of him.
"W…wh…what….what the hell is going on here?" Sasuke stuttered trying desperately to find some other explanation than the one he knew to be true.
"Sasuke….I-I don't know what to say." Naruto started in a hushed tone as he approached the shivering raven. Sasuke backed away his eyes filled with unshed tears as he narrowed his eyes dangerously at the blonde.
"Well here's an idea Naruto how about the truth." Sasuke shouted bitterly.
Naruto turned to his other lover and told him to go into the kitchen for a moment while he sorted all the mess he made out. The man nodded and made his way to the kitchen glancing at Sasuke on his way past.
"So?" Naruto turned back around to face the angry raven who demanded answers.
"I don't want to hurt you Sasuke—"Naruto started but was cut off by a bitter laugh.
"Hurt me? You didn't want to hurt me; if you didn't want to hurt me then you wouldn't have jumped into bed with the next slut that came along. Naruto eyes suddenly turned cold with anger.
"Don't you dare call Neji names, it's my fault not his." Naruto hissed in anger. Sasuke scoffed at this.
"Oh Neji is it…just one question how long has all this been going on because you've been distant from me for a while…so how long?"
"Sasuke—"
"Don't Naruto, how long?"
"I d—"
"STOP FUCKING PLAYING WITH ME AND TELL ME HOW FUCKING LONG HAVE YOU BEEN FUCKING SOME ELSE BEHIND MY BACK." Sasuke shouted at the top of his voice angry tears making their way down his cheeks furiously.
"Two years…it's been two years and I-I I'm so sorry but it's been two years and I'm in love with him."
Sasuke felt like his heart had been smashed into a million pieces. He couldn't breathe. There were so many things he wanted to do at the moment in time. He wanted to kill the pair of them…he wanted to beg and plead with Naruto to either take him back or tell him this was all a horrible nightmare, but most of all he wanted to cry and cry until the tears suddenly dried out.
"You love him?" Naruto nodded but didn't say anything. He felt bad about hurting Sasuke but was also glad that his former lover had found out, now Neji and he could have a proper relationship that they've always dreamed about.
"Yeah I do…I'm sorry but I do." Sasuke nodded trying to come to terms with all that was happening. This morning he was so happy and had everything going for him, now he felt his world being broken beyond repair.
"I have one question did you ever love me?"
"The truth is I don't think I did." Naruto admitted.
"But you love Neji though?" Naruto nodded.
"There's just a connection between us that I don't have with you. I'm so sorry."
"So you said" Sasuke looked Naruto up and down in disgust. He couldn't stand to look at Naruto at this moment in time. Sasuke couldn't understand how Naruto could do this to him. He wanted to hate and hurt Naruto so much like he did to him, but the truth was that he still loved the blonde so much that it hurt ten times worse. He felt ashamed of himself for doing so.
Sasuke breathed in deeply and turned red eyes towards Naruto.
"Why didn't you break things off with me when you had the chance? Why did you have to wait three years to come clean?"
Naruto couldn't think up an excuse for that and mumbled another wordless apology that Sasuke was sick and tired of hearing.
Sasuke silently made his way to the front door before turning back to face the blonde.
"I think it's for the best if we try and keep out distance from each other from now on ….I-I don't want to see you anymore. I want you out of my life."
Naruto thought Sasuke had the right idea and agreed wholeheartedly with the raven. He didn't really care anyway the only thing on his mind was the man currently standing in his kitchen. Sasuke was basically ancient history now.
"Fine" Naruto agreed.
Sasuke scrunched his nose up in disgust as he bang the door wide open before stalking out and slamming the front door behind him.
Sasuke sauntered out into the cool, clear air that was no match for the bleak mood he was currently displaying. The raven wanted rain and thunder that resembled his mood for tears and anger.
The whole way home everything seemed to just either slow down or speed up around him, it was like he was the only one on the planet, him and his miserable self.
Sasuke decided to take w stroll around town to clear his nerves before he faced Itachi. Sasuke wanted to scream and cry so badly but he held it in and wished for the pain in his heart to stop.
It was a little pass eleven o'clock at night before he stumbled into his home that he shared with his older brother.
Sasuke couldn't handle it anymore and slowly slid down the wall in the foyer and broke down, tears were streaming down his cheeks and sobs could be heard through out the whole house.
Itachi ran into the room. He narrowed his eyes at the sight of his baby brother. Itachi cursed who ever did this and rushed over to his little brother and enveloped him in a tight hug.
Sasuke felt strong arms wrap around him and lifted his head to find his older brother there with deep concern etched to his face. Itachi reached down and wiped a few tears that had came rolling down his brother's cheeks and then moved his brother so his head was resting on his chest.
"Hey it's alright Sasuke, It's alright." Itachi's soothing voice whispered into Sasuke hair. Sasuke violently shook his head.
"N-n-n-no i-it's n-n-not." Sasuke manage to grit out between each sob.
Itachi pulled Sasuke away from him so he could look into his brother properly. He was saddened to see those onyx orbs shining with hurt and betrayal and instantly wanted to know what the hell happened to make his brother become like this.
"Little brother what's wrong?" Itachi asked concern laced his voice.
Sasuke didn't say anything instead he sobbed harder and bangs his head against Itachi's chest. Itachi's arms came around him once again as he shook with uncontrollable sobs that racked his body to no end.
Itachi stared into space with a glare that was not to be messed with and vowed to get to the bottom of this and kill who ever did this.
Itachi looked down and smiled a bit when he saw his brother falling asleep.
They both sat there through the night one sleeping and one thinking about how to avenge his hurting brother.
