Chapter Two: Hopes of Meeting Again
It felt like it took an eternity, to Sasuke, for him and Naruto to finally reach the lobby doors of his apartment building. The walk for the two had, thankfully, been a quite one. Sasuke had already embarrassed his self-enough, he would hate to embarrass his self-further by saying something stupid. Not to mention he really didn't have the energy to carry on a steady conversation. He just weakly clung to the beautiful blonds arm.
"W-what happened to your hand?" Was all Sasuke could muster at conversation, as they slowly edged down the street.
"Uh? Oh yeah….I kinda forgot about it." Naruto laughed, looking at his right hand, which was carefully gripping Sasuke's right arm draped over his shoulder. "Just me being stupid is all."
Sasuke cocked a brow at the blond, making Naruto's mouth go dry. Sasuke just didn't know how hot he looked when he did that.
"Are you stupid often then?"
Naruto laughed loudly in his ear, making him flinch slightly.
"Haha…..sorry. It's just no one has ever asked me such a thing." Naruto tried to wipe away the tears from his eyes.
"Since you aren't denying it, I'm going to assume yes." Sasuke breathed out, a smug look on his face.
"Mnph, I'll have you know, I'm pretty smart. Third in my class even. I just like to have a little bit more fun than most." Naruto told him, making Sasuke scowl.
"Do you walk around with a constant scowl then?" Naruto retorted, making Sasuke's scowl deepen further.
"No, Im just not stupid." Was his answer in a huffed tone. "This is it." Sasuke motioned to a tall skyscraper apartment building.
"Wow, nice place." Naruto wowed, looking around at the high rise ceiling, as they made their inside and to the elevator. The usual orange haired receptionist was behind the desk, giving Sasuke a worried look as he quickly tried to get off the phone.
"This is far enough. I can make it the rest of the way." Sasuke tried to pull his self from the blondes grasp, who just snorted and held on tighter.
"No, its fine. I'll take you to your door." The doors opened almost immediately after Naruto had pressed the up button and drug Sasuke inside.
"Ah Sir, Mr. Uchiha are you alright?" The lobby receptionist Juugo asked worriedly, trying to catch them before the doors closed.
"I'm fine." He sighed just before the doors closed.
"What floor?"
"Twenty Eighth."
"Phewww that's pretty high up." Naruto whistled out pressing the button. Sasuke gave up on trying to convince the blond that he didn't need his help. Truthfully he did need his help, his legs felt like jello and probably wouldn't hold his weight if he tried to walk on his own. Again he came to the conclusion that he would only end up embarrassing himself even more. Finally the bell dinged as they reached twenty eighth floor.
"T-this way." Sasuke jerked his body to the left, and Naruto followed, steering them down the long narrow hallway. "Number One Twelve." Sasuke's shaky arm came up, pointing to his door, Naruto nodded and stopped in front of the door. Sasuke struggled to dig in his pocket for his keys.
"Want me to get them?"
"No-" He was cut off as the door was suddenly wrenched open, reveling a somewhat disheveled looking older brother. Naruto's eyes went wide as he looked at an almost mirror reflection of Sasuke. This man had to defiantly be his older brother, they looked almost exactly alike, except for a few small differences in the face, and the man's hair was much longer than Sasuke's, and was pulled back into a low pony tail.
"Sasuke! What the hell were you thinking!" Itachi growled out, completely ignoring the blond supporting his little brother. "The door man called up and said you were being drug inside."
"Quit shouting I'm fine." Sasuke huffed quietly, trying to pull away from Naruto and go inside. Itachi's teeth clenched as to how tired and exhausted his brothers' voice sounded.
"Oh yes, fine my ass. Seeing as you are being supported by another being." Itachi growled, pushing Naruto aside, ignoring his presence completely, and pulling Sasuke inside the apartment.
Naruto watched as the two bickered back and forth and quietly invited his self inside and followed after the two. Naruto hung around in the living room as Itachi gently carried Sasuke down the hall and into the room. Naruto sighed, forcing down his nack at being nosy, and looked around the apartment. If Naruto thought the building its self was nice, it was nothing compared to the apartment its self.
It was absolutely massive, opening form a small hallway form the door to a large living room, surrounded in large windows. To the left it opened into the kitchen, and two the right was a small hallway, which he assumed lead to the bedrooms and bathroom.
Not being able to hold his curiousness back any longer, as he clearly heard the murmur of the two talking, he quietly crept into the hallway, just enough to be able to catch what the two ravens were saying.
"Sasuke, really what were you thinking? I thought we had said that Kisame was going to go with you today." Itachi's voice was gentle, and no longer filled with irritation.
"I couldn't get ahold of him." Sasuke murmured quietly back. Naruto crept closer to a half closed door, leaning to the side so he could see in the small gap.
Sasuke sat propped up against a few pillows in a large queen bed, while Itachi sat just on the side of the bed. Sasuke actually looked quiet fragile sitting their getting scolded. It made the bags under his eyes look much darker.
"Why didn't you call me. I would of cam-"
"I didn't want to bother you." Sasuke interrupted him, snapping. "I bother you enough as it. I just, I just thought I could go on my own for once." Sasuke's brows furrowed and he stared pointedly at the bedspread.
"Sasuke." Itachi's voice was filled with concern. "Little brother, look at me." Sasuke's eyes reluctantly pulled themselves up to meet his brothers.
"You are never a bother to me. Never." His voice was stern now, his eyes boring into Sasuke's own. "Do you understand?"
Sasuke nodded, feeling like such a foolish child for his behavior, a light blush gracing his face. Was it really that wrong for him to want to have some sort of independence?
"Never do that again. Do you understand?" Itachi pulled the covers up slightly. "You know what the treatment does to your body afterwards."
Sasuke snorted, making Itachi frown.
"Just get some rest now, you look horrible. We will talk about this later."
"Yes anki." Sasuke mumbled, shifting down into his pillow, sleep already beginning to take him.
Naruto did a quick and quiet shuffle walk back to the living room, hoping that Itachi hadn't seen him. The older raven quietly exited his younger brother's room, taking once last quick glance at his sleeping form, before closing the door.
Naruto stood in the spacious living room, his hands behind his head, looking out the window, when the elder raven entered. Itachi looked up at him, his fingers rubbing his eyes tiredly.
"Ah, excuse me for my rudeness." Itachi apologized, bowing slightly.
"No prob! It's cool, I understand." Naruto beamed turning and facing the raven.
"Thank you for taking care of my little brother." Itachi finished. "He's a bit strong headed; I'm surprised you were even able to help to begin with."
Naruto chuckled at the comment, but wholly agreed. "Yeah I kinda got that."
Itachi smiled a small brief smile at the blond. "Itachi Uchiha."
"Oh right…sorry. Naruto Uzumaki." He took hold of the pale hand and shook it. "Well I should really be going. I don't want to impose or anything." Naruto headed for the door.
"If you must. Thank you again for helping Sasuke." Itachi walked him to the door. "If you ever need anything in repayment, you know where I live." He extended his hand, handing the blond his business card.
Naruto just smiled at the raven, taking the card from him. The blond nodded once more to the man and exited back the way he came.
Naruto sighed, staring blankly out his bedroom window. It was a cloudy day, looking as if it was about to rain down any minute. It was about mid-afternoon and Naruto found his self completely bored. He twirled the pencils in his fingers, desperately trying to come up with some kind of excuse to not do his homework.
His living room was loud filled with the yells of his two roommates as they battled out a game on their Xbox. Another sigh left the blonds lips, if only they had three controllers, he would most defiantly be joining in on the fun.
His eyes drifted back to the gray covered sky, his thoughts drifting to a certain raven. It had been almost over a week since he had helped the raven, and yet he couldn't get him out of his head. Those dark eyes, that almost smug scowl, and god that skin. Oh how badly he wanted to see him again. He even found himself standing outside the ravens apartment building, two days ago, debating on whether or not to go in. But he fought his urge, and didn't. He could only imagine how weird and stalkerish he would look when he wound up on the ravens doorstep for no good reason.
He was suddenly pulled from his thoughts by the familiar sound of his ringtone blarring in his pocket. Dropping his pencil, he quickly pulled it out, frowning at the unfamiliar number, but answered it all the same.
"Yo!"
"Naruto?"
"Yeah, this is him."
"Ah good, the information was correct. I require your assistance with my brother again." The familiar silky voice asked politely.
"Huh? Little brother? Who is this?"
"Forgive me, this is Itachi. Itachi Uchiha."
Naruto practically fist pumped in the air, a big wide grin spreading across his face. Today looked like it wasn't going to be so boring after all.
Soooo what do ya think? Review and let me know please.
