Bright blue skies, greyed with guilt.
What had he done? He had quite possibly broken a family up… that is what.
As Naruto sat in what had been his room in the esteemed mansion – before he had become Itachi's partner that is – all he could think about is the look on his boyfriends face when he had found him to be cheating. The pure disappointment and raw betrayal that flashed in his eyes was enough to break the blonde's heart in two. Yes, he loved Itachi. But… was it really in the way he should? Was it any more than that love of a very close friend or… like a brother?
Naruto didn't know anymore, probably never knew to begin with. He had messed everything up… and had killed what was left of a family for the two people he cared most about in his life. And why? Because he was selfish! He'd known what he was doing was wrong! He knew he shouldn't have slept with Sasuke. But he did anyway, had encouraged it even. His protests were weak and his resistance minimal before stopping altogether. And then… when everything had gone wrong… what did he do?
He took the cowards' way out…
He'd run.
Locked himself inside a room.
Alone.
Isolated.
But it wouldn't solve anything, and if the slamming of the front door was any indication, nothing would be sorted anytime soon. Naruto didn't know which of the brothers had left. It was a tough choice, both could be volatile and act rashly, but that wasn't currently Naruto's concern. He had to get out, to stop this destruction before it got any worse. Before he completely isolated them from one another.
Naruto took a deep breath, looking around the room, half of his belongings were in Itachi's room, but he could start packing now. He steeled himself, blinking back the tears from having to leave and began his task of truly running away – something of which he swore he never would do no matter what the situation. But it seemed, that this situation was the only way to help salvage what he had broken.
Sasuke was in turmoil. The words his brother had launched at him before he left stabbing at his heart. Hitting him with the intensity of a thousand splintering shards of glass, penetrating through his defences and cutting through every emotion he had ever tried to repress. And what had been Sasuke's only explanation? His only defence?
"But I saw him first!"
Pathetic.
Childish even.
And, quite frankly, not good enough.
Hurting his brother had been one thing, but the look of pure shame and guilt in Naruto's eyes had been what killed him. He couldn't believe he had been the one to put that look there, all because of his selfish need to get the blonde. He'd imagine stealing the blonde, yes. But not at the cost of said blondes upset. That was something Sasuke would never want.
And now, here he was sat in his living room, staring at the door Itachi just slammed, no idea where he'd gone, and with Naruto locked up in his room, he was unsure of what to do. He knew he was probably one of the last people Naruto wanted to see right now. But didn't he owe it to him to explain himself? To try and make the younger male see what he was dealing with?
Yes. Sasuke decided. He deserved that much after what had happened.
Steeling his resolve, Sasuke started up the stairs to the blonde's room, faltering as he lifted his hand to knock on the hard oak door. He could hear Naruto moving about in the room, could hear the drawers opening and closing with a resounding click.
What on earth could he be doing?
Sasuke took a deep breath, knocking twice brusquely on the door, waiting for an answer. When none came he frowned slightly, knocking louder, getting frustrated when – once again – no answer came.
"Naruto, open the door. We need to talk. I know your in there dobe." He says calmly, trying to take control of the situation.
"No." was the blunt reply from the other side of the door.
Sasuke sighed; that damned Uzumaki sure knew how to make things difficult. Taking a breath to calm his nerves he tried again "Naruto, please. I swear I just want to explain what happened, and then you can take it as you wish."
"That's the problem though Sasuke; I don't want to listen to your damned excuses. What I do want, is to be left alone." He said calmly, too calmly. Sasuke could sense the lack of usual emotion in his sunny voice.
"Naruto…" The raven sighed, placing his forehead against the door. Sitting on the floor, Sasuke decided just to wait the blonde out. He had to come out of there at some point… right?
~3~
Perhaps heading straight to the nearest bar hadn't been his best idea ever. But as Itachi had stared down at his rapidly refilling scotch glass, he couldn't work up the strength to care. By then the alcohol was buzzing in his veins and he had been powerless to its sweet seduction, making himself feel minutely better.
He turned his head, wincing at the pain in his temple and the bright light that shone through the open curtains. He frowned deeply, through his haze of headache he vaguely recognised this wasn't his room, and the thought came with further consequences.
He was not alone.
Curled up against his chest was what Itachi first assumed to be a female. But as "she" had shifted against his leg, he came to notice a certain fact that disregarded this person from being female, and also brought his attention to the fact that they were both, completely naked.
Oh fuck.
Morning was unforgiving.
~3~
Naruto sighed, stepping out of the room, his stomach growling impatiently from lack of food. Slowly opening the door he jumped back as a sleeping Sasuke fell from his sitting position. Naruto flinched, hoping he hadn't woken the raven up.
Said raven simply shifted to curl on the floor, settling back into sleep.
Naruto sighed heavily in relief, making his way to the kitchen and making himself a quick breakfast, his suitcase in hand, ready to finish packing his possessions that were left in Itachi's room, only taking the necessities. He'd left anything either of the brothers had brought him during his stay – minus some clothes, as he needed ones that actually fit.
Biting into his toast, Naruto turned to walk back up the staircase to get to Itachi's room but was stopped by another in the doorway.
Sasuke.
Naruto's heart skipped a beat, both startled and unsure, not meeting the raven's gaze. What could he say? What was there to say anymore? Would Sasuke be angry at him for not talking to him, or would he try to act like normal?
Sasuke crossed his arms, staring at the blonde. He took in his tired eyes, the irises a greyer blue. No longer sparkling with mischief and humour but dulled with guilt. Guilt he himself had put there. He sighed heavily, about to speak when he noticed the suitcase in the blonde's hand. Frowning and raising an eyebrow, he nodded towards the offending baggage.
"What is that?" the question was blunt and to the point, making Naruto flinch.
"Suitcase." The blonde answered vaguely and simply, still not meeting the other male's eyes. He was thankful his voice didn't shake as much as he feared it would, sounding calmer than he felt.
"I can see that dobe," slight frustration spiking into his words, he looked levelly at the blonde, pinning him with his gaze, trying to get eye contact. "But why is it here?" Sasuke wasn't a patient person by nature, but with Naruto, he could make exceptions.
"I'm leaving. I can't stay here any more."
Okay, screw exceptions. "What the hell for?" it was growled, harsher than Sasuke intended it but it did its job, making the blonde finally look up and meet his eyes albeit a little startled. But when no words were offered, Sasuke found his anger build. "I said; what for?" He persisted, grabbing the smaller male's wrist, holding tighter than he'd meant to.
Naruto let a small whimper leave his throat, barely even noticeable. "Be-because… I… I feel I have… ov-overstayed my we-welcome…" He whispered his eyes glued to Sasuke's now, the dark obsidian orbs closed off – Sasuke's defences were up. He sighed inwardly; this was exactly what he'd been trying to avoid.
Sasuke looked at him in shock, stepping back as though he was physically slapped. "O-overstayed your– Naruto! What the fuck are you talking about?" he asked harshly, not meaning to sound so mean but not wanting to lose the blonde.
Naruto shook his head, "Exactly what I said Sasuke. After all of this– after what we did… I… I just can't stay here and drive a family apart…" he whispered, his voice getting quieter with every syllable his hand shaking as he gripped the suitcase. "I'm sorry…"
Sasuke said nothing, his mouth agape in a thoroughly un-Uchiha manner, as the blonde lowered his eyes to the floor, stepping past him and disappearing out of the house.
It took Sasuke a full thirty minutes to come out of his stupor and realise – with rising dread – that the blonde had walked out of his life.
Forever.
~3~
Okay, so, first things first. De-tangle unknown blonde male from body.
Itachi slowly removed the blondes arm from his chest, gently rolling him over and off of him, detangling their legs.
Step one: Complete.
Step two: Find clothes and get the hell out.
Sounded easy enough right? But as Itachi bent to retrieve his boxers from the floor it became apparent that easy didn't come into it, letting out a loud curse as his temple made contact with the corner of a table Itachi swiftly put a hand to his mouth, uttering another curse when the unknown male on the bed started to rise.
Shit.
Plan B: Get the fuck out! By ay means necessary.
But this plan also, did not go exactly to plan. Stepping out of the motel room door, a squeak from a nearby female brought his attention back to the fact he was still naked – and to make matters worse, he had conveniently chose the wrong body part to cover.
For Itachi was a male. And therefore had no breasts to need to cover up!
Dashing back inside the room as fast as possible, the raven paled. For there, right in front of him, was his mysterious lover.
Things just keep getting better and better.
R.N: Sorry for the long wait, have been searching all over for these chapters. I now have 6 and 7 as well as this and am soon getting the laptop back which should have the missing two chapters on, so bear with me ^^'
