Kitsune: Enjoy the story. Review~!

Sasuke was greatful. When Itachi had come home that night, he didn't say anything about getting a call from the school. His limp also went away on Saturday. It was Sunday now, breakfast time in the Uchiha house hold, and Sasuke's luck was running out. All was quiet before Itachi spoke.

"So what happened in school on Friday?"

Sasuke jumped a little, but managed to regain his composer quickly, "Why the sudden interest?" he asked coldly

"It's not sudden." Itachi explained, "They called me on Friday, but I wanted to see if you'd tell me about it without me asking. You obviously didn't."

"It wasn't any big deal."

"Passing out in school isn't a big deal? I'd hate to see what is a big deal to you." he smiled, his voice filled with amusement.

Sasuke hated this. He hated how Itachi would act like everything was normal when he wasn't fucking him up the ass. It made Sasuke want to punch something. Possibly kill it.

"It was your fault anyway." Sasuke said before he could stop and think about what he was saying.

"Oh? How so, ototo?"

Sasuke felt the heat in his cheeks rise a few degrees, "...Because. ...You were too... rough." he didn't move his eyes away from his plate.

Itachi smirked, "You haven't seen rough, ototo." he stood

Sasuke swallowed hard. He had a feeling he just opened a door he shouldn't have.

~Naruto's apartment~

Naruto sat on his couch, staring at his ceiling. He was still thinking hard about Sasuke and his secret 'lover'. It was very frustrating. And he kept getting headaches.

"Grr... Why can't that bastard just tell me?!" he shouted out loud, flailing his arms a little.

He sat up and went over the clues Sasuke had given him. He was aloud in his house, he had contact with him everyday... and that was it really. He at least got Sasuke to admit he was being fucked. That was an accomplishment on its own. That was when Naruto had another thought.

Why did he care so much?

It wasn't really his business what Sasuke did in his free time. It wasn't his place to worry about the raven like this. And yet... He felt something was wrong. No, something was very wrong. He could feel it in the pit of his stomach, and Naruto was always one to go with his instincts. Of course, that got him in trouble a lot of the time, but he usually ended up being right.

Naruto cared about his friends, that was very true. But even though he helped them all at least once, he didn't have this driving need to see it through to the end. This intense feeling somewhere inside him that kept him going to Sasuke's front door every morning, happy that he was the first person, outside of family, that Sasuke saw every day.

Was that normal?

No... Naruto was pretty sure it wasn't. It kinda sounded stalker-ish to him actually. It was almost like he was becoming one of Sasuke's fangirls. Naruto shuddered at the thought.

"No matter how much I like Sasuke, I never wanna be like them." he thought out loud again.

It took about five minutes for Naruto to realize what he just said. Did he say he liked Sasuke?! Like, like as a friend? Or like in another way? He started to get paniced and he felt his face flush.

"Heh heh. Why am I blushing? I only like Sasuke as a friend, right?" he waited for an answer, but since he was alone, none came.

Nauto sighed as he let gravity take over and flop him back onto the couch. He couldn't believe he was thinking about this. He was supposed to be figuring out who Sasuke's secret lover was, not wonder about his sextual orientation!! Naruto sighed again as he realized that was just an excuse. He knew his sextual orientation. He was bi, plain and simple. He had pleanty of relationships with girls, but he also had some with guys too.

Sakura was a bust. Completely. She was the only one Naruto ever actually gave up on. Others were either willing or chased. And the chases never lasted longer then three days. Though the relationships never lasted much more then a week. The longest one he had was with Hinata. That lasted about three and a half months before both of them decided to end it. It was another three months before Naruto saw Hinata with Kiba.

Because of his personality, he never really cared weither or not his ex's moved on before him. He would just be happy they found someone new. Hinata belonged with Kiba anyway.

"Crap! Naruto focus!" he commanded himself, hitting his head with his fist. Naruto refocused his thoughts back to Sasuke. But he still wasn't getting anywhere, with either problems, "Crap. Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way."

He got up and went to the kitchen to fix himself some ramen.

~Sasuke's house~

"Ah!" Sasuke's cry echoed throughout his house. He had been right. He opened a door he shouldn't have. As Itachi pulled himself out of Sasuke, the younger Uchiha hid his face in his arms. They were still in the kitchen.

He didn't move until he was sure Itachi was gone. He was greatful Itachi only did him once a day, no matter what time it was. He stood shakily and made his way to the bathroom, his limp back with avengence. Itachi never did him anywhere but on his bed before, so the kitchen experiance was new. He probably would've enjoyed it- if it had been with anyone but Itachi. Hell! Naruto probably would've been a better choice!

Sasuke's hand froze on the shower curtain. Did he really just think that? Was he starting to develop feelings for Naruto? The raven snorted and climbed into the shower. He turned the water on warm and just stood there, nearly hoping that the water would take him with it down the drain. He felt his eye begin to sting, but he wasn't sure if it was the shower water.

This was the only time Sasuke let himeself cry.
