-Normal Pov-
"I told you but you never listen. Now look what you've done." Sasuke sighed picking up the scattered clothes off the floor. He tossed them into the bin near Itachi's dresser and glanced worriedly at his brother. He knew this was going to happen sooner or later and he really dreaded the day.
"Why do I act like this.." Itachi murmured staring at his hands as if the answers were sketched in his palms. His tired and worn eyes looked up at his brother showing the sadness and regret he harbored. He refused to move from his position on his bed even after Naruto left.
Sasuke ran a tired hand through his hair as he sat on the edge of his brothers bed. Itachi had to deal with these circumstance because of his irrational actions. He didn't know what to say to Itachi let alone how to console him. Uchiha's never cried nor did they care about what others thought. So what was the point of understanding? Sasuke frowned and tossed his brother a pair of boxers.
"Look, I don't know what to tell you Itachi. Except this is all your own doing. There's something wrong with you and all you've ever done is take it out on Naruto. He can't solve all your problems." he said crossing his arms. "He loved you so much that he put up with all your shit over the years. If it were me, I would've left your ass in the beginning because I sure don't take shit from anyone." he said getting up.
Itachi bit his lip as he glared at his brother. "But that's not all Itachi. What I don't understand is how you could cheat on him even though you said you loved him. Do you really think we believe you do when all you've ever done is whore yourself?" Sasuke asked bawling his fists. "Naruto is my best friend! Do you know how much it hurt me seeing him cry?! He would always come to me and cry his heart out because he couldn't talk to you anymore! I felt so bad for him because I had such a bastard of a brother who couldn't care about another person!" Sasuke yelled fighting back the tears that he knew would fall.
Itachi glared even harder at his brother, painfully gripping the boxers in his hands. "But no! You wanted everything from him! He couldn't give you everything! And you treated him like shit-"
"Shut up! You don't even know! So just shut the hell up Sasuke!" Itachi yelled jumping off his bed as he slammed his younger brother against the wall.
"What?! Even father knows how you fuck his employees! So don't you dare tell me I don't know what I'm talking a-
SLAP
"Shut the fuck up! I love Naruto! I know I did so many stupid things to him that I can't take back! I want to stop this-this what ever is wrong with me!" Itachi yelled tightening his grip on Sasuke's collar.
The younger raven growled venomously. "You say you love Naruto…" he spat locking eyes with his brother. Itachi gripped tighter but nodded. "Then go tell him. Tell him everything you want to change. Tell him how much you love him and how you wished he never left. Whisper all those loving words in his ears every night. Make him feel like he's worth something." he spoke softly.
Itachi stared at his brother shocked. Was his true intentions for riling him up… was to see his sinful ways? Did he actually think this up to the point that even he himself would finally open his eyes?
He released his hold on his brother shirt as he stared at his hands. They were trembling and he didn't know what to do anymore.
"What does this mean baby brother…" Itachi demanded. He felt like hitting himself for all the things he's done. But he knew it wouldn't measure up all the things he's done. Not to mention the emotional abuse.
Sasuke shrugged his shoulders. "That my brother… is only the first steps in getting Naruto back. Now all you have to do is take this serious." he mumbled smiling a bit as he fixed his disheveled hair.
Itachi frowned. How could Sasuke really out-smart him like that. Even he should have realized how bad the circumstances would have hit him if he continued acting this way. But he was thankful for this. He can finally move on with his own issues and treat Naruto like the real person he loved.
Sasuke stalked over to the bed and picked up the forgotten boxers. He grabbed them and tossed it at his brother. "Here. You might need these." he said smirking a bit when Itachi took in his naked form.
"Hn." Itachi grunted as he put them on noticing Sasuke had turned around so he could have his privacy.
"You know Itachi. There's still chances for you to get Naruto back." Sasuke said glancing over his shoulder. "But you know I'll help you. He's my best friend and you're my brother and I care about you both." he finished turning around when he saw Itachi pulling on a pair of jeans.
"Thank you baby brother. I'd like that." he murmured pulling his hair back in a tie. Sasuke shrugged and walked over to the door waving Itachi off.
"Well, I've gotta get going. I'll see you later." he said closing the door quietly behind him.
Itachi sighed and pulled the dirty sheets away from the bed as he began cleaning his room. He didn't want to linger in the past any longer. So he was going to get rid of everything that reminded him of his sins against Naruto. His first step to recovery.

-Naruto's Pov-
I hate him! I hate him! I hate him! I screamed in my head. I couldn't believe him.. After everything we've been through.
I sat against the wall in Iruka's bathtub and cried. I continued to let the water drench my body, feeling the sensation drench my body.
When I showed up on his doorstep crying, of course he let me in since I had no other place to go. When Itachi and me moved in together at his place, I terminated my lease at my apartment. I never thought I'd want to return there. But of course I checked as I passed by. And yes I walked. Itachi owned basically everything and refused to let me buy anything. I thought I was sweet but not so much. The irony of it all..
I scrubbed my entire body for the fifth time in the past hour. My skin was raw and burning because of how rough I was scrubbing it. I cried and I cried, thinking of how pitiful and helpless I am. I knew for the longest time that Itachi was cheating on me. I knew it but I didn't want to believe it. I was blinded by my stupid love for him.
I even told Sasuke about it and he knew it was going on. I didn't want to think Itachi was that kind of person but in reality he is. No matter how much I wished he wasn't. I tried to hard to fool myself into believing there was nothing going. I lied to myself saying there was nothing to prove his fidelity. How much of a loser I am… Even the damn condoms and clothes left in our bedroom was proof enough.
I sniffled and wiped my eyes as I turned off the water so I could sit in the tub in peace. I never felt so stupid and dirty in my life. Even when I first caught Itachi with another man in our bed, I didn't think it was possible. I lied to myself that it was only a one time thing and that he would never do it again.
Oh but there were times when he could be incredibly gentle…
I sighed and held my head in my hands…
When he drank…. He would cuddle with me in bed as we made sweet love until dawn…. Calling my name over and over again as we came. It made me cry. I was so happy because of the gentleness and sincerity of his words. They pierced my heart like a blade. Those were the only times when he called my name like that and held me so close to his chest. I wish he would always treat me like I was precious and loved. But once he became sober, it would disappear in the morning.
I cried and let the fresh tears stream down my cheeks. My head hurt and my vision was hazy from all the crying. I got up and stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around my waist. I stood in front of the mirror and saw my reflection.
I couldn't believe how ragged I looked.
I pulled at my hair roughly and stepped out of the bathroom walking down the hall. I've had enough of crying over that bastard.
"Naruto? Are you gonna be alright?" Iruka asked as he followed me into the guest room. I chuckled for a brief second and regained my posture.
I turned around and flashed him my brilliant smile. "It's ok now Iruka. I'm done with Itachi now, so no need to worry." I laughed displaying the exact opposite of how I felt.
"Oh… ok Naruto. If you ever need anything, me and Kakashi are-"
"I know I can count on you." I finished making Iruka nod. He nodded and I disappeared into my temporary room. I didn't want to intrude in Iruka's life. He's happy living with Kakashi and with me being here, I would only intrude in their personal love life. I knew how Kakashi could be with Iruka and I'm kinda jealous of him.
I flopped on my bed and buried my face against my pillow.
God! I cant believe how naive I am.
Now that I've finally decided to break it off, I might actually still see him at work. I think it would probably be best if I switched over to one of Fugaku's branches. I think he'll let me. Hopefully he will because I don't wanna deal with Itachi anymore. He probably already has another lover in his bed at the moment, not even caring that I left.
I could feel the sting of tears and I really didn't want to cry more, so I bit my lip to will them away. Just thinking of what happened just hours ago…
He didn't even say anything. He didn't even stop me….
My body was so tired that after that thought, I feel asleep. It was late anyway and I was too tired from all the crying….
-
-The next morning-
"What?!" Itachi and Sasuke exclaimed slamming their fists down on the office table. Fugaku sighed and rubbed his temples.
"I just told you two. I hate repeating myself but Naruto did request that he would like to be transferred to one of our lower branches." he huffed crossing his arms. He really liked the blond ball of sunshine but he could see the hurt in his eyes when Naruto came to him, begging for a transfer into a different company branch.
"I object father! Did you agree to this?" Itachi demanded glaring at Fugaku.
"I agree! Naruto is a asset to our company! You cant just let him go like that!" Sasuke yelled clenching his fists.
Fugaku grunted and turned his back to his two sons. "I haven't approved of his transfer yet. But I have spoken to him and within the next 2 weeks he may be able to leave for the other company." he said glaring out his office window. He really wanted to know why his favorite blond was transferring and he had a hunch that it dealt with his eldest son.
Itachi fumed! How could Naruto already be deciding things like this?! He doesn't even have any of his belongings and he just wants to leave?! Disappear out of his life?!
"Father, did Naruto happen to tell you his reason?" Sasuke asked, afraid that Itachi might blow a gasket.
Fugaku shook his head and sighed. "No son, he didn't say specifically what the reason was behind it but he did say that he need to get away.." he spoke turning around to lock eyes with Itachi. "Though I didn't press him any further so don't ask me anymore questions concerning Uzamaki." he stated still glaring at his son.
He clenched his fist and nodded. "If that is all father, then I must get back to my work." Itachi said turning as he began walking to the office door.
"Same here.." Sasuke murmured following closely behind his elder brother.
Fugaku slumped his shoulders as he watched his sons leave. "I hope they fix whatever is wrong." he mumbled looking over at the file on his desk that held Naruto's picture on top.

"So Naruto. Do you have the documents I need to send?" Shikamaru asked leaning on Naruto's desk. The blond nodded and handed the paperwork to the brunette.
"Here you go Shika. I just finished the rest this morning so everything should be in order." he said smiling lightly.
Shikamaru sighed and sat in the blonds desk. "Ok Naruto. What's wrong." he asked placing the documents down beside the computer.
Naruto stopped his typing to glance awkwardly at the man. "I-I don't know what your talking about Shika. Your just imagining things." he mumbled as he continued his typing.
Shikamaru sighed and sipped a bit of the blonds coffee. "Hey! That was mine Shika!" Naruto whined reaching to grab for the mug in the brunettes hand only to be slapped away.
"Not until you tell me what's wrong. And don't you dare lie to me. I wasn't hired for my skills for nothing. I can read people Naruto and the fact that your eyes are red and swollen, doesn't help you either." he said taking another sip of the hot liquid.
Naruto frowned and crossed his arms. "Fine. I'm transferring due to some personal problems." Naruto spat reaching for his coffee cup.
Shikamaru dodged the reach and stood up, making the blond do the same. "Really?" he asked confused.
"YES! So give me back my coffee before you drink it all. I don't want you-"
"Naruto.." the smooth voice spoke making them both freeze in place.
'Oh no…' Naruto thought staring at Shikamaru who looked puzzled. 'I know that voice and the only person that could be is -
"Naruto." Itachi spoke again but this time a little louder.
Naruto frowned and kept his back turned to the raven so he didn't have to see his face. "Naruto look at me." Itachi said perking Shikamaru's attention.
Naruto shook his head childishly and continued staring at Shika who glanced around nervously. In all retrospect, this had nothing to do with him and he didn't want to get involved.
"I'm not speaking to you Itachi so leave me alone." Naruto hissed burying his head in his hands. He really didn't want to see Itachi. He didn't want to talk to him, nor even think about him.
He was still in love with Itachi and seeing him was only making things worse.
"Naruto I want to speak with you privately." Itachi said glancing at Shikamaru who nodded and placed the mug back onto the table as he grabbed the paperwork and left. Naruto shuddered and wrapped his arms around his body. For some reason it became really cold.
"Naruto I want you to know that I regret everything that I did. I want to make it right between us again. Let's start over like when we first met." Itachi said as he slowly walked up behind Naruto whose back was still facing him.
Naruto's body shook and he held his hands over his ears. "NO! NO, NO, NO! YOU'RE A LIAR!" Naruto yelled shaking his head rapidly. "I CANT BELIEVE YOU! YOU ALWAYS LIE!" he continued until he felt two strong arms wrap around his stomach.
"No! get away from me!" Naruto cried as he broke down feeling Itachi's chest against his back.
"Shh.. It's ok Naruto. I'm here and I wont let you go." he cooed running his hand through the blond hair. He felt Naruto calm and relax in his arms.
"See. That wasn't to hard was it?" Itachi whispered in Naruto's ear. He frowned when Naruto didn't respond and twirled the blond in his arms. "Naruto?" Itachi spoke realizing his eyes were closed. "Naruto?!" he yelled shaking the blond.
He didn't know what to do! He didn't know what was happing to Naruto!
Some of the people who were working, herd the ravens outburst and rushed over. "Mr. Uchiha. We've called an ambulance." the brunette woman spoke feeling Naruto's forehead.
Everyone bustled around Itachi as the medics arrived. They loaded him in the stretcher and rode the elevator down so they could get to the hospital.
Itachi tried getting into the ambulance but they refused since he wasn't family and he was pissed. Nobody refused and Uchiha.
He watched as the vehicle sped off with his blond inside. He wanted to leave and check on Naruto but he had a job to do…
But Naruto was more important, as he fumbled with his keys in his pocket.
