Anything For You

Sasuke dropped his bag by the door. He looked around but it didn't look like Itachi was home yet. He walked through the messy house not bothering to take off his shoes. He opened the door to his room and flipped on the light hating the sight of it but not being able to turn away. He had to get those things cleaned incase they had a surprise visit from a social worker or something.

He walked in pulling the sheets off his bed and paused when he heard the front door open. The walls weren't very thick so he could hear the usual sound of keys being dropped on a table. He could hear each step on the hardwood floor before they finally stopped. Sasuke didn't have to turn around to know just who it was standing just outside his door.

He lifted all his blankets at once and turned around silently walking past Itachi towards the laundry room that was barely bigger then a closet. He opened the washer and tossed the blankets in one at a time ignoring the stains on them. Finally the washer was full and he couldn't add the final few articles of bedclothes.

"Feeling guilty?" Itachi's voice asked from the doorway.

"Just trying to get rid of the mess." Sasuke replied simply no emotion what-so-ever in his voice. He would've added something to that, but he'd probably just get in more trouble. The last thing he needed was another sprained wrist, or worse. He didn't really want to admit to Itachi that he was feeling guilty. He usually did.

The younger added the detergent and closed the lid to the washer turning it on.

"Are you getting rid of the mess because you don't want to have to look at the reminders of last night?" Itachi asked chuckling as Sasuke turned to walk out of the room.

"Who would want to be reminded of that?" Sasuke mumbled before getting shoved against the wall.

"Otouto," Itachi began grabbing Sasuke's sprained wrist and lifting it up. "How many times do I have to punish you before you get it in your head? It's the stupid things like that you say that get you punished." Itachi commented bending the already hurt wrist making Sasuke wince.

Sasuke remained silent even though it was beginning to hurt like hell. Suddenly he was released and Itachi walked out of the laundry room slamming the door shut and locking Sasuke inside.

The raven haired boy leaned against the wall and slowly sat down. He should've kept his mouth shut in the first place. Maybe he was a masochist or something. He'd told Naruto that he didn't defend himself out of habit, because whenever he did Itachi just hurt him more.

So it was weird. At school he wouldn't say a thing to defend himself, but at home… Sasuke did defend himself, but it usually ended in him in some form of pain. Being locked in a laundry room all night was nothing compared. Just this Saturday he decided to open his damn mouth in response to something Itachi said. By the end of the night he'd had a sprained wrist and who knows how many bruises.

-XxX-

He figured he'd been in there for awhile. He couldn't tell he didn't have a watch and there wasn't a clock in there. He stood up and hoped on top on the washer to reach the window that was up there. He pushed it opened and pulled himself up having to climb out head first. He'd snuck out through this window enough times to know what to do. He was really young when he first tried it and ended up landing on his ass.

He grabbed the tree branch from the old oak tree that lived just outside the window and swung himself out. His feet caught the tree and he climbed down until he was back on solid ground. He snuck over to the garage. Itachi's car was gone. There was no telling where his older brother was at, probably a bar.

He took the opportunity and ran down the street turning down a random alleyway to avoid anyone seeing him. If he got caught by anyone sneaking out at night, Itachi would kill him. No, he'd do a lot worse then that. It was Itachi after all.

He ran as far as usual before stopping again at the park. He could almost see the remnants of a burned down house he once called home in his mind. Almost smell the charred building. But it was gone. Now what had taken it's place was a park. He'd passed by it often during the day. If he had time he'd walk past it on his way to school. And on nights like this, when he snuck out, he'd usually run here.

The thoughts that always plagued him reached him.

-I should get back; Itachi'll just get more mad-

So he turned around and began to walk home until he saw a flash of blonde hair. More yellow really walking down the sidewalk with a few people.

What if they tried to talk to him?

-…-

No way. There was no way they'd talk to him. But Naruto had already talked to him today, and he didn't act like he was distraught or anything…wishful thinking he looked at his feet and continued walking.

"Whoa!" A voice recognizable to Sasuke after lunch today called. "What're you doing here?" Sasuke felt a hand on his shoulder and stopped himself from cringing.

Sasuke just turned and looked at Naruto for a moment then at the other kids with him before yanking his shoulder away. "None of your business."

"Man your defensive. And all I did was try to be nice to you." Naruto tsked.

"Well don't." Sasuke said simply.

"Hey guys go on without me kay!" He called to his friends and they all said "bye" before walking off. Probably not wanting to be around Sasuke.

"What the hell do you want?!" Sasuke snapped.

"You're so rude!" Naruto objected.

Sasuke didn't reply but he did manage a sigh at the blonde's expense.

"So what are you doing out here alone?" He asked.

"None of your business." Sasuke repeated.

"Is something wrong?" Naruto asked seriously.

"No!" Sasuke defended a little too fast, something about this blonde made him panic. He could look anyone else in the eye and lie but somehow Naruto always saw through it.

Sasuke began to walk away, but Naruto caught up quickly.

"Hey, you're acting pretty strange…"

"How would you know if I was acting strange? You don't know me, now leave me alone!" Sasuke replied.

"Do you really want to be left alone?" The blonde asked and both boys stopped.

Sasuke didn't look at him he couldn't. He was panicking right now, he never panicked. "Yes." Sasuke replied softly.

"Then look me in the eye and say that." Naruto demanded.

Sasuke tried not to flinch as he did finally look Naruto in the eye.

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked.

The black haired male remained silent as he just stood there looking into the blonde's bright blue eyes.

"You can trust me." He added. "We're friends after all."

Sasuke blushed aware only of the fact that his face had become extremely warm.

"Maybe, but you can't help." The ebony haired male finally responded.

Naruto immediately became relieved; he's finally breaking Sasuke down. If only he could get a straight answer from the black haired intriguing man.

"Please?" Naruto asked quietly begging to get an answer.

Sasuke looked upset for a moment then suddenly. "I have to go!" He added turning around and before Naruto could do anything ran at his top speed away and back to his house quickly noting the still missing car as he climbed the oak tree and back through the window into the laundry room where he was left earlier. The washer had stopped in the time he was alone so he pulled those clothes out and threw them in the drying grabbing the left over articles and throwing them in the washer starting up both machines. He sat against the wall again and closed his eyes forcing himself to relax. The best part about being trapped in one room was that Itachi wasn't here with him.

All your lies

Just pretend you love me
