CHAPTER 7
Both Uchihas engaged in a battle of exchanging glares. Neither wishes to lose in the game, but then the older one chuckled and broke the eye contact. He was shaking his head when he stood up. The younger was left glowering.
"Little brother, I never thought you're clumsy. You might want to clean up that mess before the tea stains your carpet."
The younger Uchiha withdrew himself and head towards the kitchen without a word.
"Let me help, Sasuke!" Not waiting for an answer, the blonde jumped off from the couch but not before throwing an uncertain and puzzled look at the handsome and older Uchiha. Itachi was then left in solitude.
"Oh my. Did Sasuke saw that?" Feeling amused with everyone's reaction, he sat on vacated couch and leaned his head back. "Ah. I can get used to this." With that, his lips broke in a smile that promises there's more to come.

"You're fine right Sasuke? You didn't hurt yourself? What were you thinking dropping that cup! That's quite clumsy of you." Naruto was behind Sasuke while the latter was looking for some dustpan and broom to collect the broken pieces.
"You're the one to talk. Dobe."
"Teme! I'm just concern." When the blonde saw that the raven already found the materials he said "I'll go and clean that muddle." He stretched his hands, asking for Sasuke to hand him the cleaning equipments.
"No. It was my fault. I'll do it."
"Sheesh! Don't be shy now! It's better if I do it. Are you forgetting I'm used on cleaning stuffs?"
"Yeah. That's why your own place is a mess itself." Sasuke scornfully said.
"That's because I don't have enough time! And I do clean once a week just you know." Indignantly, Naruto felt that he has to prove himself to the raven. Yes, his house is kind of not really clean but it's not as if trashes are over the place.
"Hn. I'll let you do it then if you insist. But first tell me something."
Naruto raised his brows. What could it be?
"Did Itachi tried to do something?"
His brows furrowed, followed by an outburst.
"What?!"
It's all because he's an Uchiha that Sasuke managed not to roll his eyes. He wanted to know why Itachi kissed Naruto. Is there something between them? But based on this dobe's reaction, what happened might be just one of his brother's antic and Naruto didn't even react on that. Why?
"I don't have to repeat myself. Just answer."
"You're so stupid Sasuke! I didn't even know that your brother was here already. I think I've fallen asleep the moment that movie started and all I can hear was foreign language! I was quite surprised to see him beside me and you standing like an idiot beside that broken cup. You didn't bother to wake me up. What will your brother think of me now? Geez. Then tell me, did Itachi do something while I was sleeping?"
Sasuke sighed in relief and it surprised him. So he was holding his breath while waiting for the blonde's answer. Did he fear that Itachi and Naruto have something special between them? He's pleased with the reply he received. He sniggered. He'll deal with Itachi later.
"What was that for?! Did he poke me or maybe he saw I'm drooling?"
"Moron. Just clean up while I prepare a new cup."
Mumbling to himself, Naruto didn't push it more. He saw Itachi in the couch with his eyes closed. He really looks like Sasuke but Sasuke is more handsome. He giggled before starting to clean up. He was about to finish when Itachi spoke that nearly made him jump.
"Naruto-kun. Why are you the one cleaning that up? Where's Sasuke?" He slowly approached the blond and crouched beside him.
"Ah... Sasuke's making you a new cup." Without looking at the dark orbs Naruto picked a particularly big piece of jagged glass and because the other's presence makes him uncomfortable he cut himself. His thumb was now bleeding.
"Ow!" Without a thought he sucked on the bleeding finger.
Itachi was mesmerized with the scene before him. The blonde looks too concentrated on making the bleeding stop. He continued sucking and lapping at the wound and he totally ignored Itachi!
"That looks delicious Naruto-kun. Will you let me have a taste?"
The blonde's head snapped on the man beside him and not realizing what the raven was talking about, he only managed to confused.
The adult laugh quietly, amusement dancing in his eyes. "I meant this." Grabbing the hand of Naruto, his lips moved closer to the finger that has a cut. He glanced at the tanned face and almost chuckled at the expression that showed there: the lost and troubled look. He smiled seductively before focusing once more on the digit where blood still flows.
Ah, I bet Naruto tastes good.
Just before the lips made contact with the finger, a voice boomed over them.
"Big brother. What the hell are you doing?" It was calm, but underlying the tone was threat. His gaze solely directed at his blood relative.
"Nothing." Itachi let go of the hand and drew himself up. Naruto did the same. He was still in daze but thankfully Sasuke came up before something happened. "I was just helping Naruto-kun here in attending to his wound."
"What? By licking and sucking it?" The sarcasm can't be mistaken.
"Well yes."
"Are you not aware of antiseptic and band-aid?" He didn't wait for a reply. He glanced at the blonde. "You really are stupid. I thought you're good at cleaning. What the hell's with getting a cut? Go to the bathroom and help yourself in the medicine cabinet. I suppose you can attend to your own wound."
Feeling a bit scared and humiliated, Naruto dashed towards the direction of the bathroom.
When it was the Uchihas left, the younger one went straight to the point.
"What the fuck are you planning Itachi?"
Inclining his head, the raven who was asked merely shrugged.
"Answer me."
"Why do I have to explain myself to you Sasuke? As far as I know you never wanted to have anything to do with my things, especially my relationships. Or did you change your mind? Perhaps you're the same as me now or more like father?" He sneered and challenged the younger guy.
Like a gun with the triggered pull, Sasuke snapped and lunged at his brother. They stumbled on the ground. He was gripping Itachi's suit hard that it's crumpled to the point of being torn. Sasuke was breathing hard on his brother's face, his eyes blazing. "Don't you fucking dare say that! I am neither like you nor father!"
The onyx eyes of Itachi bore no feelings. He pushed his brother off him. With his strength, even if Sasuke's fired up with his rage, he still managed to throw the younger one a few distance from him. He fixed himself.
"You made yourself clear Sasuke. I just do hope you can stay true to your words. On the other hand though, you might want to tone down that possessiveness of yours over Naruto-kun or that cute little fox will interpret it the wrong way."
The hatred towards his brother was boiling inside the younger raven. Is Itachi trying to say that he's acting way too strange that the blonde might take it as homo-ish? "What the fuck are you saying? Don't group us with you Itachi. Despite the fact that Naruto's stupid he won't be thinking of it as any crap that you're spouting. He knows that I hate homos."
"Let's put it this way then. Just for the instance that you found that Naruto-kun is gay, what would you do little brother?"
"...I... You're impossible!" Sasuke can't imagine why his brother is asking him such things. It's troubling; he has to admit because he never stopped to think about the instance that the blonde is gay. "There's no way that he's gay. I'll know it right away if he's one."
Itachi chose to not speak for a moment. He was deep in thoughts. It's only a hunch but he's never wrong before on figuring out a person, their character or sexuality at that. "You didn't answer the question, Sasuke. What if Naruto is gay?"
"You're so annoying. Why are you so interested about such hypothetical issue?"
"Aren't you?"
"Damn Itachi! What's in it for you if Naruto's gay?"
"Now, that's a good question little brother. Let's see. If Naruto-kun is gay, I would make my move and make him mi—"
"You wouldn't dare!"
The older raven laughed. "Why not? Supposing he likes men, that will give me a fair chance to have him right? Although he looks reserved I bet Naruto-kun wants someone who'll take care and love him. He's been alone for so long and I want him to be happy. Do you not realize how adorable he is? It always stirs up my protective and possessive instinct."
Sasuke was speechless. What his brother said are all right. But, doesn't that mean that Naruto's betraying him all this time? He was lying to Sasuke. He was pretending to be someone else, someone that Sasuke hates. The blond knows his stand on gays and he was his friend. He groaned. He was so absorbed by the hate that starts forming inside of him when he realized that this was all theoretical. He laughed inside. How stupid of him! There's really no way that Naruto's gay and Itachi can take his sweet time imagining things.
"I don't give a damn about your feelings because foremost, Naruto isn't a homo and neither a bi. So I suggest you keep dreaming on bed, big brother."
The older raven snickered. "So adamant, little brother."
"Naruto will never betray me. He's the only one whom I trust and can depend on. Whatever you say will change nothing. He's not gay and never will be because the time he turns into one, that'll be the time that he cease to exist in my life. "
"How ardent Sasuke." Itachi then inclined his head and his gaze drew past the little raven. "Well Naruto, you heard my foolish little brother."
Turning around, Sasuke saw Naruto standing a few meters from him. He didn't hear the blonde approaching. The energetic guy looked at Sasuke. His eyes are boring into him as if he hurt him.
"Yes, I heard him loud and clear. Uh, I tended to my wound so I'll be heading home now." Without waiting for a response he grabbed his bag before facing Sasuke.
"Thanks. See you at school." He looked at the oldest guy. "Itachi." With a nod he turned his back on the Uchihas. When the sound of the door clicked, a fuming Sasuke said, "You planned that right Itachi?"
"Even if I did, doesn't that make things easier for you? I know you made yourself clear about this matter but Naruto must hear those things, after all if you believe he's not gay, this won't affect you or him and your relationship as well. Give my regards to Naruto-kun. Tell him I'm always available whenever he wants to talk. Well then, I'm quite tired and want to rest now." He turned on his heel and head towards his room.
The younger Uchiha combed his hair with his fingers. Fuck! Did he go overboard? Did he react too much? Why did he say such things? Why Naruto looked hurt? But Itachi's right, that won't affect their friendship for they were straight. Then again, why is he so affected with what Itachi will do to Naruto? This has been bugging him for a while now. Itachi can choose whomever he wants and Naruto as well, but he's not bi or gay as far as he knew. What if he is and hit it off with Itachi? Will he still be an exception just because of his brother? Can he still treat him the same? Oh god. His trail of thoughts is getting dangerous. The image of Itachi kissing Naruto flashed before his eyes. He clenched his fists. The thought only managed to anger him for unknown reasons.
I should talk to Naruto about this tomorrow.
To be continued...
