A/N: If I keep updating at this rate, then I'll have it all up by tonight or early tomorrow. Still don't own Naruto or any of the song lyrics. Enjoy.~
(Itachi POV)
Chapter Seven:
I walk alone I walk
alone. I walk alone
I walk a...
Many minutes had passed as we wandered farther and farther into the open fields. There was no one in sight, no houses to be found. There were some animal life though, a few foxes rushed by us then scattering into the tall grass. I kept my eye on the sky for most of the time. Knowing Mother Nature was going to let it down pour very soon. I placed my hands inside my cloak. Sasuke on the other hand, was silent for a long time.
He looked tired, or at least a little bit absent minded. The only time he was really quiet was when he was with other people outside of our family. Mainly around his old team mates, Naruto Uzimaki and Sakura Haruno. But this was the most I've ever seen him soundless. It was getting kinda worrisome.
" Sasuke." My voice spoke shattering the dead silence. He looked up at me with a small frown.
" Yes Nii-San?" His voice was soft, like a evening summer breeze. I tried to smile, showing I wasn't too worried, but deep down inside, I was. I crossed my arms underneath my cloak.
" You're very silent all of a sudden, is something wrong?" I asked as the first real drops of rain began to fall from the now darkened sky. Sasuke averted his eyes to the grassy field and didn't say a thing. After a couple of seconds flew by, he spoke.
" Do you think mother and father would get mad?" He asked as I gave my attention back to him. I raised an eyebrow, not really sure what he was trying to say. I grunted to clear my voice from my tired throat. Sasuke was still looking downwards, avoiding my eyes. His face seemed upset again.
" What would mother and father get mad about?" I asked as Sasuke seemed to stumble into a wet puddle. The rain was really beginning to fall now. He looked back up at me, looking as if he was about to speak but was automaticaly about to regret his decision in words. He took my hand firmly.
" Nii-San,...I've decided something." He began to say as the rain was now picking up speed. His eyes were looking up at me, as if they were trying to tell me something without having to speak. But I couldn't read them. No, not this time. My eyes met his now, feeling as if there was a long pause, but there wasn't. I unfolded my arms and let them hang on my side.
" You've decided something?" I asked as his eyes were still looking into mine. He nodded.
" We've known each other ever since we've been born. And you and me have grown very close over the past few years. And I think it's time to take a step further. I've decided that I want to be more then your brother..." Sasuke said clutching to his chest and looking back down at the flooded grass.
My eyes widened and I felt my lungs shatter as the words I just heard sunk my mind. My breathing was cut short as I was trying to process all of the things my brother had just said. I couldn't speak.
I felt my hands start to tremble a little, making my whole body do the same. Some would say it was because of the pouring rain, but in this case, it wasn't. It was because of my brother.
" Sasuke...what are you, trying to say?.." My voice was shaking, but I had to remain calm. I didn't want Sasuke to know I was nervous about the situation. So I stayed strong. He smiled up at me.
" Think about it Itachi." He began to say while taking both of my hands. " You and me, together off far away from here. No one to bother us." His words sounded so happy and promising. As if this was some fairy tail we were living in. My heart was now pounding, and my face now a deep color red.
My mouth began to quiver and tears began to roll down my face. I couldn't believe this. It was all happening so fast. I wasn't sure what to do. Sasuke then looked at me with great concern as my face showed sadness. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me close. His gentle voice now chiming in.
" Itachi..."
I couldn't speak. Because deep inside, for the longest time, ever since I was a child, I have been feeling the same way to...
A/N: *Fangirl screams* YUUUUSSS! Finally he confessed! You go Sasuke! Now, all we need to know is, what will Itachi do about it?? Once again, sorry about the chapters STILL being kinda short. This was a simple project over the summer, so that's my excuse. Stay tuned for more updates!
