Sakura walked into Itachi's hospital room, where Deidara still faithfully was. He was Itachi's best, and pretty much only, friend.
She had changed out of her volunteer uniform into the clothes she wore before her shift.
"Anything happen with Itachi?" She asked. Deidara nodded.
"Nope, you get a hold of Sasuke?" Sakura sighed.
"I tried calling every chance I could get, I called over 25 times!" She sat next to Deidara.
"Something probably happened, and he probably turned his phone off so no one would disturb him, my calls all kept going to voicemail. And of course I left about 10 voicemails."
"I'm sorry, but your friend is a total idiot," Deidara said. Sakura didn't verbally reply, just giving Deidara a look that said something along the lines of, 'yeah but I won't admit it'.
Sasuke was still sitting behind the old building, he decided to turn his phone on. HE looked on his missed alerts page.
27 missed calls from: Sakura
"Damn, why does she need me so much?" Sasuke asked himself.
Sakura's phone rang, she almost dropped it from surprise. She quickly answered it.
"Sasuke?"
"Why did you call me almost 30 times?"
"That's not important, look Sasuke, what I tried to tell you the first time I got a hold of you is that Itachi's in the hospital." There was no response from Sasuke.
"Hello?" Sasuke 'Hned' in response.
"What happened to him? Is he okay?"
"I'll explain when you get here, you know which hospital it is, the one I volunteer at. He's in room 424, second floor."
"I'm on my way," He said hanging up.
Sakura sighed with relief, "Finally." Deidara was smiling. She smiled back at him.
"You know, Sakura, we should go to the cafeteria and eat, I don't think either of us have had anything since lunch," Deidara suggested.
"That sounds nice, I think when Sasuke gets here he'll want the privacy, and if we talk it might disturb Itachi's sleep," She said with a sweet smile. Deidara got up and held his arm out, bent, so they could link arms. She laughed and connected her arm with his.
Within 10 minutes after that, Itachi had woken up. He still couldn't move, but he was conscious. He immediately felt sore and wished he hadn't woken up.
The door swung open. Sasuke burst through the door, and ran to Itachi's bedside.
"Itachi!"
"Yes, I'm Itachi, please lower your voice Sasuke," He said, reaching his arm up enough to pat Sasuke on the head. Sasuke muttered an apology.
"How did this even happen? You look really beat the fuck up," Sasuke said, voice dripping with concern.
"Gee thanks, glad to know I look like shit."
"That's not what I mea-"
"I know what you meant, calm down," Itachi said chuckling, trying to avoid Sasuke's question.
"Itachi, what happened?" Itachi's eyes darted away and then back to Sasuke.
"Sasuke, you shouldn't worry," Itachi said reassuringly.
"Was it... your... our, father?" Sasuke said, looking down. Itachi's expression changed.
"Mother told you?" Sasuke nodded, and looked up at Itachi with big, tear filled eyes.
"It was horrible... but... I do remember you more, so I guess there's some good in it, Aniki."
"Aniki?"
"Yeah, I used to call you that..."
"Yes, you did. Come here, Otouto," Itachi said. Sasuke leaned in closer to Itachi, who cupped his younger brother's cheeks and kissed him.
"I'm glad you finally remember me, Otouto." Sasuke smiled.
A nurse knocked on the door. Sasuke pulled away from Itachi.
"Hello, Mr. Uchiha, you seem to be awake now, can you write?"
"I guess I can, what do I need to write?"
"Just forms to fill out, standard stuff," The nurse said, giving Itachi the clipboard with it's attached papers and a pen.
Itachi started to fill them out.
"Um... Ita... Aniki?" Sasuke asked, interrupting Itachi's writing.
He looked up from the clipboard, "Yes? And if you'd rather call me Itachi than Aniki it's fine."
"No, no, I wanna get used to saying Aniki, at least when we're alone. But... what exactly happened?"
Itachi put the clipboard and pen on the end table.
"One my our father's friends saw us, I guess even before our mother did. They heard her talking to us and they told him. And when I got home, well... I was met with a very angry man. After years of his crap, I finally fought back, he's in a hospital on the other side of town, after the cops were called, they said we couldn't even stay in the same hospital," Itachi started laughing, "For as fucked up as I look right now, I can guarantee you he looks worse."
"What's gonna happen? Like is he going to jail or are you going to jail or..."
"I personally don't care what happens to him, but as for me, I'm moving out. I can stay at Deidara's place." Sasuke's face lit up.
"You can move in with me!" He said like a little kid.
"But I'm not even supposed to have contact with mom or -"
"Fuck that! It's been broken a lot already hasn't it? Might as well break it all the way," Sasuke shouted, making Itachi tell him to keep it to a dull roar. Itachi chuckled, sat up, cursing his sore muscles, and pulled Sasuke into a hug.
"I'd love to move with in with you, but what about mother?"
"I can convince her," Sasuke said pulling out of their hug.
Deidara and Sasuke opened the door and walked in, still arm-in-arm. Deidara rushed over to the other side of Itachi's bed.
"You're up!" He shouted with happiness. Sakura walked up to Sasuke and put her hand on his shoulder. He looked at her and they smiled at each other.
"Yes, I'm up." Itachi said, "And, I'm moving out of my house." Sasuke grinned, and Deidara and Sakura stood with open mouths.
"Moving out?" Deidara repeated, "Where to?"
"Hopefully Sasuke's house, if not, I can stay at your place right?" Deidara nodded vigorously.
"Of course!"
"But hopefully I can convince my mother," Sasuke said.
"Speaking of which..." Sakura said looking at her phone, "You're mother's calling me."
She handed the phone over to Sasuke.
"Hello?"
"Sasuke? Are you okay? It's close to midnight, you know. I've been trying to get a hold of you to make sure that you were alright, but you didn't answer."
"Mom, I'm fine, just... when I get home, there's something we need to talk about."
"Okay Sasuke, be home in less then an hour."
"I will mom, bye."
"Bye, honey." Sasuke hung up the phone and handed it back to Sakura. Sakura checked the clock.
"Damn it's late, well I have to go. Bye everyone," She said with a smile as she walked out.
"Feel better Itachi," She added. Deidara followed her.
"Wait, Sakura! I can take you home!" He yelled down the hallway. Sasuke looked at Itachi a bit uneasily.
"Now just how am I going to convince her?" He asked.
"I don't know, I'll go with you, though."
"Can you get discharged?" Sasuke asked.
"Even if I can't, I'm leaving." Itachi pressed the nurse assistance button on the wall above his bed.
A nurse was in shortly.
"You beeped?"
"Yes, I would like to be discharged." The nurse looked at him and sighed.
"Sir, can you even walk?" She asked. Itachi got out of bed, masking how sore his muscles were. He stumbled a little, and at first leaned on Sasuke for support. After a few minutes he was walking fine, Itachi wasn't one to complain about any pain.
"See? Fine," He said. Sasuke hugged him.
"I'm so happy that my Aniki can walk." Itachi put a hand on Sasuke's head and ruffed his hair. He wanted to nosebleed over how cute it was.
"Well... I guess if you can at least walk you should be fine, Come with me to the front room and I'll have you discharged," The nurse said. Itachi slung his arm over his brother's shoulder, and they followed the nurse down the hallway, down the elevator, and to the front room.
She quickly filled out a form and had Itachi sign his signature at the bottom of it.
"You're free to go," She said with a fake smile.
Sasuke and Itachi walked out of the hospital. Itachi stopped them to pull out his phone. He dialed a number and called it.
"Yo Deidara, they let me out of the hospital, can you drive us to Sasuke's house? I'm sure you're done with taking Sakura home." Deidara gave a short reply. "Thanks, you're the best." He hung up the phone.
"Now we just have to wait for him to get here," He said to Sasuke, "He shouldn't take more than 15 minutes." Sasuke nodded and wrapped his arms around Itachi's waist, resting his head on his brother.
The ride to Sasuke's house was short and silent, Sasuke and Itachi thanked Deidara for the ride. He smiled and told them 'anytime'.
Sasuke pulled his house key out of his pocket and shakily put it in the door.
