Chapter 2

Some time has passed since the incident, they hadn't spoken about it since. Either of them wanted too. The two boys tried to convince their parents to let them do everything on the list. Shisui's parents allowed for thing Itachi's didn't, no one was on the same page. Itachi didn't mind too much, a lot of the things required athletic abilities, like rock climbing, and Itachi was very picky on how he got his daily exercise. Shisui on the other hand, did mind. He was sure if he didn't call his parents during their vacation that they would be more lenient.

So once again the boys were up in Itachi's room, playing video games. "So what are we gonna do now?" Shisui asked staring at the TV, spamming the buttons.

"Something, not sure yet" he main focus was not losing to Shisui again

"Maybe we should just... do nothing. Relax for the summer" the other boy pushed Itachi's arm, hoping he'll close control.

"You ass." He shoved back "that is a possibility. I'm going on a family vacation for winter break. It's supposed to be a big one, I guess they gotta save for that"

"You're an ass" he shoves harder, forgetting everything else that was said.

Itachi was taking back from that "… you're a hairy ass" his childish side letting out.

Shisui paused the game, not gonna let Itachi out lip him, "you're an ass that sags" his words confidently came out.

"Rather sag than be hairy" he tilt his head with an attitude, a smirk formed on his face.

Shisui was shocked at that "shut up. I can still beat you at everything" he didn't know what else to say.

"But your ass is hairy and mine isn't" he stuck his tongue out with his sassy attitude. "So go ahead, beat me"

Shisui groaned in defeat, this was war. Itachi's sass is hard to defeat, but Shisui's determination is just as strong. When Itachi looked back at the screen triumphantly, Shisui shoved him off the bed.

Itachi hit the floor with a hard thud and a, "oof" came out of his mouth. "You roach, what was that for?" Itachi stood up from the floor

Shisui started the game and played without Itachi being ready, "you didn't mind losing" he taunted Itachi, "remember?" he stuck his tongue out the same way Itachi did

Itachi sucked up his pride, for now, "fine, I lose" he sat back down on the bed, where he was before. By that time he realized Shisui cheated on the game. He squinted his eyes at the deviant boy, "this is war"

A smirk grew on Shisui's face, "bring it little boy". Then for a moment, they stared at each other. Itachi sat next to him and held his hand out. "This doesn't end until there is a written apology. No physical harm. This stays between us" Itachi made up the rules with his confident voice

"Nothing from 11:00 pm till 4:00am" he suggested and Itachi nodded his head and the two shook hands. They just found themselves something to do this summer. Itachi found himself staring into the older boy's eyes for a little too long. Shisui noticed too, their hands stopped and they just looked at each other. Itachi wasn't sure what to do. There was a foreign tingle in his skin that connected with Shisui's. He knew that it was coming off the older boy, but he didn't know what was causing this feeling.

Shisui pulled his hand away, not sure if he liked the feeling or not. Itachi rubbed his hand against his pants, wiping away the new feeling. Shisui stood up, "don't break the rules" he said more awkwardly than challenging. Itachi nodded his head and watch the teen leave the room. He sat there quietly to himself.

Shisui ran downstairs, not exactly sure what he's doing, until he was stopped by the soothing of Mikoto, "Hold on Speed Racer" it sounded like a request, but any smart boy knew otherwise. He stopped his fast feet, halting in front of her. "What's the matter?" then she motioned him to follow her

He bit his inner, following her to the kitchen, "nothing" he grumbled out, why was she so smart.

She let out a soft sigh, "now don't give me that, I've know you way too long. Now, what's wrong?"

He sat on the countertop keeping his eyes away from hers, "Itachi is being weird. But not his usual weird"

"What was she doing?" she took out a pot and let the water in it heat.

He shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know how to explain it" he didn't want to. "He's just weird"

She chuckled lightly, "Use your words big boy" she loved teasing the boys whenever she could.

He wasn't sure on how to word his thoughts, so he sat there with Mikoto waiting patiently. He took a breath once he was ready, "is it weird that" his words were caught in his throat, but he knew he had her full attention. And with another breath he spoke all in one go, "is it weird that Itachi is cute like a girl?" he felt a deep scarlet rise on his cheeks.

The woman was quite shocked at the boy. She never thought her teasing of the boys relationship would actually come true, "no honey" she turned to him with a smile on her face, "in fact, it's just fine to like boys. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise".

He bunched his eyebrows in confusion, "but I don't like boys, I like girls. But I don't really understand anything anymore..." he had a defeated look on his face

She put a finger up in the air, "but it is possible to like both. It's also ok to know, you don't have to know everything now."

The boy's face relaxed slightly, Mikoto had a way with words. "Really?" he couldn't help but ask. She nodded her head and hummed. He sat there, taking in the new information that he has been given. And once Mikoto went back to her boiling water, Shisui hopped off the counter "I have to go think. I'll be back for dinner"

She waved to him, "Ok, don't hurt yourself" she giggled as Shisui ran out the house. "Things are going to be getting interesting around here" she said to herself, besides, who was she to get in the way of young love. She rested against the counter, sipping on her tea.

Shisui stormed into his house, not like he needs to care to keep quiet, no one was home. He laid on his bed, staring at the celling. He took his time to think about who he was, not just his sexuality. It was a very soothing moment for him, his head was running without the anxiety. Eventually he gotten on his phone and searched around, and he found many LGBT profiles. He couldn't help but smile, Mikoto was always right.

Itachi had spent a while of him time waiting on Shisui to come. He had soon concluded that Shisui was angry at him, which he didn't want. He had looked upstairs and went downstairs where he bumped into his mother, "hey mom, have you seen Shisui?" he asked simply

"Oh yes, we had a small talk and needed to go home and think. He will be back for supper" he sat at the dinner table with a crossword puzzle

He frowned slightly at that, he was sure Shisui was angry with him, "was he mad at me?" he sat next her. To anyone else he seemed perfectly fine, but this was his mother, so she already knew he was quite upset.

Mikoto gave him a bright smile, "it had nothing to do with you Hun, he was just having by problems" she reinsured him

"What are boy problems?" his eyebrows bunched together

"Puberty wise, you'll get them when you're a bit older" she kept her answers simple, besides, it isn't her place to tell Itachi.

Itachi nodded his head, not wanting to press further. He was more comfortable with this kind of talk with his father. He knew his mother was very understanding of that. With that he stood, thanked her, and went back upstairs.

He didn't feel like socializing, but he also didn't want to be alone with his thoughts. So he went to the other person he thought was reasonable for this, his adorable brother Sasuke. Sometimes he annoys him, but times like this, he needs him.

The two talked and played, Sasuke asked multiple times if he was ok, Itachi would just tell him he was. Sasuke knew better but stopped asking at the 7th time. He knew something was on his older brother's mind, but he was also glad he had his full attention.

Dinner rolled around, Fugaku and Mikoto sat facing their two children, and their honored guess sat at one end. Itachi noted how this time it was the end furthest away from him. Shisui didn't do that often, he couldn't help but feel a cold shoulder.

Asides from that. It was a normal meal, Sasuke and Mikoto asked Fugaku about his day. He answered with small replies. Once Shisui was done with his food, he excused himself from the table, going the whole meal without saying a word to him. Itachi hung his head as he slowly ate his food. He thought about what his mother said, but he couldn't help but wonder if some of that "thinking" was due to him. He decided that he was going to let Shisui have his space, and that he'll be ready to talk when he is. He didn't want to push things.
