Chapter X

Bet That

You might As Well Give Him A Kiss

The wooden floor was completely covered in a thick plastic and all the furniture of the room along with the huge bed that had all been moved to the center. They too were covered in plastic as the youngest Uchiha walked into the room wearing dark blue painting clothes that almost looked like those orange jumpsuits workers wore, except it was dark blue. He looked around and sighed, at last there was no one here to bother him-Other than his brother but that he could tolerate.

This morning when Sakura and Ino had woken up to see Sasuke and Itachi in those work clothes, except Itachi's were red, they had made an excuse too leave. They seemed in a hurry and Ino kept trying to push Sakura out, it was like a prayer had been answered that they had left the apartment for the day. When it came to work it was the one way to get them out of the house saying that painting will get their hands all dirty and shit and that they were to beautiful to do peasant work, he was really happy for work now. They even had the audacity to say that they should hire someone to do the job and go out with them instead.

Sasuke told them to shut up and stop nagging at his ear since they were clinging to him again and he pissed them out somehow. All he said was that their talking was annoying and he was about to drop dead, they had left for the spa to supposedly pretty up and calm down and telling Sasuke to chill out, and they could not wait to show their new look when they came back. It was funny how fake they where, fake nails, fake hair extensions, fake little smiles and going out with their other little men at the side and at the same telling him that they can't live without him and they love him. It was all bullshit spit out with shallow feelings.

It was something he really didn't want, he could do so much better on his own, well probably with his brother. For the first time, he had forgotten how long, but it felt so long that he and his brother where alone here in the apartment-or back then at home. They knew the bitches weren't going to be home any time soon at all. Sasuke could not be happier; he wanted to grin when his brother came in but held back his smile.

"Sasuke?"

"What?" Sasuke asked when he turned around to face his brother, Itachi handed him a paint brush and he set the can of thick black paint on the floor.

"Alright, I paint the whole left side and you the right, I'll meet you half way on this point, got it baby bro?" Sasuke only nodded and both males got down to work. Sasuke simply started to paint from left to right moving across the first wall smoothly and using a small stool to reach the top. Itachi on the other hand was neater and painted from up to down in long strokes to finish the bottom before doing the top.

He needed the stool to reach the top and when he turned to face his little brother he sweat dropped, the whole wall looked badly painted and there where some missing parts to be painted, more said the wall looked like it was being painted by an out of control monkey. What was he thinking giving that paint brush to his foolish little brother "You suck at his Sasuke, it's a wall, just paint it, don't mess with it" Sasuke scoffed.

"Loosen up Itachi, I want to have fun." Itachi smirked.

"Fun huh" He turned back to face the wall and decided to leave it half done and he headed to the other side around the window. He stoked up and down as he painted some letters, Sasuke looking over his shoulder with curiosity to what his older brother was doing he nearly fell off this stool.

"ITACHI!!" He ran over to the wall and begun to paint over what it said, Itachi glared at him.

"This is my side to paint Sasuke"

"So!" Sasuke hissed. He was mad, Itachi did not know what the small blush on Sasuke's face meant, embarrassment, or was it anger, was it both or was it something more? All he did was write: SASUKE LOVES COCK in bold capital letters, what would be the normal reaction from a straight person or a gay person. Itachi had no idea, but he did know that he was enjoying himself greatly.

"So, I wanted to have some fun too"

"Boo" Sasuke said turning to Itachi with an angry pout "Why would you find writing shit about me fun? That's just mean niisan"

"I like to see you mad, "Itachi smiled as he leaned down to his brother and whispered in his ear "It really makes you look so cute"

"Oh just go suck yourself niisan" Sasuke finished destroying Itachi's art work and left but didn't miss the words Itachi mumbled 'I rather you suck me off' but he decided that maybe he was hearing things, and then again, he did not have a comment for that. Well maybe he could of said that thing from south park, like that line 'present them' or something. He wondered what the look on his brother's face was going to be.

Itachi looked at the wall and sighed. "I going to go take a shit" Sasuke was back to painting.

"Oh Nissan!" Itachi turned back to him.

"What?"

"I want you to have a nice time shitting" Sasuke gave him a thumb up and Itachi just rolled his eyes.

"You come up with the stupidest things ever" Sasuke shrugged.

It was five minutes later and Itachi was back, Itachi decided that he would ignored his little brother even though he looked absurdly cute the way he was so intently and messily painting the wall and another smaller paint brush clutched in between his teeth. He was like a toddler painting his first drawing at kindergarten. He shook his head and resumed painting. An hour and a half later they were nearly done, Itachi was just waiting for his otouto to meet him on the half.

"Finally" Sasuke sighed out and finished with last stokes.

"Nice job Otouto" Itachi said and then pocked Sasuke's nose with the tip of his paint brush painting Sasuke's nose tip black. Sasuke's eye twitched.

"Oh, now it's on niisan!" Sasuke slapped Itachi with his paint brush leaving Itachi with a black cheek pissing off Itachi as he dipped his brush in the bucked and painted his little brother's forehead. Sasuke was now steaming mad and he lunged himself at Itachi. Soon both brothers were rolling around the plastic covered floor with a paint brush between them. It was like a knife. Fist Sasuke had it to Itachi trying to paint his whole face and then Itachi had it to Sasuke.

The process continued until they were covered in paint from head to toe.

"I need a shower" Sasuke hissed as he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror, what ever had been left from the paint was now on them. The bad thing was that paint was expensive and hard to take off if it wasn't washed off soon.

"I'll join you" Itachi said, knowing that for a fact as well, he had to save his hair. "I want the paint off my hair" he added.

"No"

"Yes" They both made a run to the bathroom but got to the door at the same time with each trying to in at the same time but at the same time trying to push each other out.

"Let's just take one together!"

"NO"

"Come on"

"Itachi!" Sasuke hissed as he tried to push his older brother out the door "I want to take a shower, you can take one after me!" Itachi only glared as he pushed forward and managed to make his little brother get in as he to fell in and closed the door locking it for good measure. Come on, leaving a door un-locked here was like an invitation for the two girls that lived here to come on in and see them.

"WE can always take a bath like old times, remember" Sasuke glared at Itachi. There was a huge reason behind the fact that they did not take baths with each other anymore, it had all been behind that one little move that Sasuke made that left them both confused and with these feelings. It was what had separated them and started all the conflict between them. Itachi glared down at Sasuke and Sasuke just looked away. "Do you remember it was your entire fault" Sasuke pouted.

"You are the one my brother" Sasuke stated "who took it to a Whole. Other. Level" Itachi sighed.

"Stop quoting mad TV and get in, we have a lot to discuss anyways, I guess this is an issue we have to get rid of already" Sasuke only glared and then decided that it was better to get in and forget about it all. This was his brother, Itachi, the one who ran off last time; it wasn't like anything was going to happen.

Sasuke stripped naked on the while Itachi did the same as he turned on the water as soon he had downed his clothes and got in followed by his little brother. "Now, we have to explore this feelings and going back to where it all begun is the best thing I can come up with, now move, I want to wash my hair" Sasuke looked down at his feet and moved to the other end of the tub.

Earlier that morning Itachi had asked him about how he felt about him and Sasuke could only get twisted, but he managed to mumble out things like: Kisses goodnight on the forehead by his Aniki that he missed. The hugs and embraces that they had once shared. The things that Itachi used to teach him and the way they where always able to communicate, that he felt like a fool about the whole thing he had done in the tub when Itachi was Ten and he was around seven to eight.

The whole painting the room next was just for them to spend some time together. The thing was that this issue still nagged at them, it hurt Sasuke when Itachi made remarks to it and telling him it was his fault when Itachi was only over reacting.

"It more like started at our parents shower and we where taking a bath Itachi!" Sasuke looked up at his silent brother with a hard stare "Maybe you don't remember but it was YOUR entire fault, if you would have not scared me like that" he snapped.

"I didn't think you would even care THAT much" Itachi retorted back.

"And you Itachi have a tendency to take everything so seriously! Especially when I always told you that I love you and that you have a hard time believing, you did not think I'd actually care"

"You weren't serious about it?"

"ITACHI!" Sasuke snapped. Both brothers turned their backs to each other as each worked on getting the paint off their bodies as the same time thinking back to that time.

Flashback

The huge tube was full with clear water that the slight movement would make water splash over the side of the tub and to the already soaked floor. For Sasuke and Itachi bath time was always a drown the house experience and their parents hated how they took baths together since all they would do was splash each other over and over again.

The objective of the game was every boy for himself, Itachi on one end of the tub and Sasuke on the other, and they would start to splash water at each other and laughing like mad men. Bottom line, Itachi and Sasuke always enjoyed it, later on their parents found that they hated it even more that the brother's where not getting along. What had changed with them was a mystery to their parents, and a confusion to Sasuke and Itachi, well except when they hinted it to their mother.

Well, one thing was for sure it had been one of Itachi's ideas. "You have the stop watch Otouto?" Itachi asked as he was close to Sasuke his forehead pressed to Sasuke's and their bodies slightly brushing each other and yet both brothers where comfortable and at ease with the contact. None of them minded it."Alright, as soon as I say go you start it and I'll hold my breath, don't stop it until I come up" Sasuke nodded.

"Are you sure about this niisan"

"Hey, I'm the best, don't worry, you'll see I'll set a new record" Sasuke still looked doubtful but Itachi ignored him. "Ready?" Sasuke sighed.

"Ready" Itachi took a deep breath and plunged his head into the water. Sasuke from onto watched Itachi thinking the first seconds his brother should be fine, under the water Itachi slowly released the air from his mouth as he let his body relax and closed his eyes. It felt almost as if he could breathe as he was there. He left his mind to wonder as he lay still there in the water completely forgetting that his baby brother was just above the surface. He was enjoying himself.

To Itachi it had felt like it wasn't that much time but looking down Sasuke was beginning to panic, three minutes had passed and his brother was still not coming up. To make matters worst his older brother had not even moved at all, not even an inch and it was really starting to frighten Sasuke to a heavy point. All he knew was that he had to get his brother out and soon "Itachi?" he asked. There was no response. "Niiisan" he whispered.

"Itachi!" he called more desperately, but still no answer. "ITACHI-NI!!"

Under the water Itachi furrowed his brown, he was getting pissed his little brother was ruining his concentration. "ITACHI!" Sasuke looked around and did the only thing that popped into his young little mind. Next thing Itachi knew he was being pulled out of the water and being flipped and he still didn't move with his eyes close, Sasuke just leaned in and pressed his little lips firmly to his brothers puffing out air.

Itachi's eyes popped wide open as soon as he felt his little brother's mouth on his and then pushed his little brother away from him, Sasuke looked up at Itachi with terror and confusion written all over his face. "Nii-san!" half of his was relieved that his brother was alright and alive and the other wondered if he had done something wrong because his niisan looked shocked.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Itachi hissed as he wiped his lips. He could still feel his baby brother's lips pressed on his, so small, warm, and so lusciously soft.

"I thought you where dead! Or even going to die!!" Sasuke yelled at him his tiny little frame shaking at what he was saying, it was his nightmare "I thought you where going to die niisan, you didn't move and didn't respond when I called you" Itachi did not respond, he just shook his head and stepped out of the water.

"Even if I was you never kiss me!" Sasuke looked startled. "Stay away from me" with that Itachi left leaving a confused and scared Sasuke behind. Sasuke shook wondering what just had happened. For one he never meant to up-set his brother, and now he wasn't sure how to even approach the situation.

"Nii-san.......I was just worried…."

After some time Itachi sighed and decided to speak "Okay, so maybe I took it a bit personally, but that was my first kiss" Itachi hissed. Sasuke on the other hand turned back around to face his brother who was not leaning against the wall just looking off the side.

"That wasn't a kiss you idiot! I was scared and thought you might die!"

"Do you really care that much about me?"

"Yes, and I hate you for it!" Sasuke sighed crossing his arms "It's not fair, you where so mean and I didn't know what I had done wrong, I just did what felt right and natural"

"Foolish, that's what you are little brother." Itachi pulled Sasuke over to him in the water and run the soap over his back "Just forget about it, maybe I did over react." Sasuke sighed and relaxed against his brother. Itachi on the other hand was starting to become hard between his legs at the fell of Sasuke's skin lightly brushing his.

"Nii-san" Sasuke called out.

"Yeah"

"I'm sorry, If what I did offended you in any way, but I didn't mind it at all, I don't care if you think it's sick, that moment felt normal" Itachi chuckled and Sasuke was surprised when he felt himself be pinned to the well "ITA!-" He cut himself off when he felt his brother hard arousal press between his legs and poke at his behind.

"Trust me Otouto, in my own sick little way I was more pissed cause I actually enjoyed it" Sasuke's breath caught as he felt Itachi's chest pressed to his back and he could not help but moan at the hot feeling. It was simply amazing and it stirred his own cock that became throbbing hard in a matter of seconds as he felt Itachi's hands on his waist and his brother's mouth nipping at the base of his neck.

"Nii-san" Sasuke arched onto the touch and then he spun himself around to capture his brother's head and kissed him hard as their erections met and fondled each other for the very first time leaving both brothers gasping in pleasure at the contact. The feeling was deliciously indescribable and they wanted more as they pulled each other closer and started to grind up on one another.

Sasuke tugged at the long hair and whimpered when Itachi broke the kiss on the while Itachi latched him mouth to the white creamy skin that was Sasuke's neck as he traced his tongue over his frantic life-giving vain. "I want you so badly Otouto" Itachi whispered as he licked his brother's delicious lips. He suddenly felt so starved for his brother, and the feeling was mutual.

"Bedroom then" Sasuke said pulling his brother with him out of the shower. Itachi growled and turned to turn off the water and followed his little brother out as they made their way to the bed that was still in the middle of the room covered in plastic. The plastic was moved aside sliding off the bed as both brothers settled on it but both brothers' were about to kiss but halted when they heard a loud banging at the door.

They were back.

"SASUKE-KUN!!"

"No" Sasuke hissed under his breath and Itachi and him quickly scrambled off the bed to get some proper clothing on. They could not let them see them like this or their father will surely hear about it soon and there was no telling what the old man was going to do if he ever found out about what could had just happened.

Still, it wasn't like it was not going to happen, eventually it will. Wether Sakura and Ino are there or not in a way it didn't matter. Still it was to soon in their relationship to get caught.

"SASUKE-KUN COME ON!! WE'RE STARVING!" It was Sakura.

"What could be taking them so long to clean and paint a room" Ino stated as she tapped her foot "they did not have to close and lock the door. It's so rude!"

They waited for the brothers to come out, though for like two whole days they had refused to acknowledge Itachi's presence, it was not like it bothered the older Uchiha. What bothered him was that they were still all over his brother and now he was also his boyfriend.

He had won!

"Finally" Sakura hissed as the door opened and she glanced in to see the room all black "Okay" she said, it was not her taste. In fact she hated the color itself, it looked disgusting to her on the wall.

"You want to paint?" Sasuke asked as he brought the brush close to her face and graced her let out a long loud howl and rushed to the bathroom to try and take it off before it messed her lovely face, Ino glanced at the brothers and then followed Sakura. Sasuke sighed and leaned against the wall.

"What do we do now?"

"I don't know, but one thing is for sure I do plan on fucking you Sasuke" Sasuke blushed and then glared at his brother. He wanted him now, but they had to do something about the two chicks that live with them, they wanted no interruption, but damn was it frustrating.

"Yeah, trust me I'm so looking forward to it"
