Uncleaned Souls: Chapter 10: A Planned Day

The first thing Sasuke was greeted to when he opened the door to Itachi's room was a damp towel flying in his face. He narrowed his eyes a bit at Itachi and closed the door, throwing the towel back at him.

Itachi started to finish drying out his wet hair, "Go take a shower." He said.

Sasuke glared at Itachi for a second longer, using the glare to just look at the man, before turning to the bathroom. That wasn't exactly the kind of greeting he had wished for, but what did Itachi know? Itachi couldn't possibly know that when he opened the door the first thing he wanted to be greeted to was a kiss. Of course not, because Itachi couldn't read his mind.

Sasuke sighed and closed the door. Getting Naruto to understand his plan for dealing with Sakura was enough stress as it is. He hoped the dobe would be okay with the rest of his plan when he told him. After all, Naruto still did like Sakura, maybe finding him a partner first would be a better choice? That way, when Sakura was crushed, it wouldn't hurt the boy as much. Sasuke only had to wonder, was there any possible way that he could find someone for Naruto? Sure he had the skills to do it, but would Naruto take interest in anyone he picked?

Maybe this was going to be more of a problem then Sasuke first thought. He stood under the shower, savoring the warmth around him, if only he could stay like this forever, then he wouldn't have any problems. Although, staying in Itachi's arms sounded better. It made Sasuke wonder why he took an interest in the man. Itachi could just be another guy, but then again, he had to wonder if his entire being would ache for any other person. Yes, that was something Sasuke couldn't deny, he wanted to feel the man and be felt. His body wanted him, and so did his mind. Sasuke wondered what it would be like, to have the first person he was with sexually be a man. He wondered what it would be like to be with a women too, was that something wrong? But the more he thought about it, the more the idea of just being with Itachi grew. He couldn't imagine it being anyone else for his first time. He was seventeen, and he felt he was ready for it. Would Itachi agree? He could only wonder.

Sasuke turned off the shower and stepped out, amazed that he could think about being involved with Itachi in that way and not end up aroused. Was he lacking feeling somewhere? He could feel something missing, but he couldn't figure out what it was. Sasuke starred at the floor below him, watching the water drip on the floor. He reached for his towel, but when nothing ended up in his hand, he looked up. There was nothing there, no towel, no washrag, nothing. Had he forgot to bring it in with him? He glanced around the bathroom, but there weren't any other towels anywhere. Sasuke sighed, just his luck.

He walked over to the door and opened it slightly, "Itachi," He said.

"Yes?" He heard Itachi answer, was that amusement he could hear in his voice or just his imagination?

"I need a towel." Sasuke said.

He heard Itachi chuckle, "Well go get you one then."

"Can't you bring me one?" Sasuke hated himself for asking, but he was starting to get cold. He poked his head outside the door and looked at Itachi, who what sitting on the bed in only his boxers, next to a stack of freshly cleaned towels.

"You can just as easily get one, I'm still folding them." Itachi said as he pulled a towel out of a basket and started to fold it.

"I'll get water all over the floor, throw me one." Sasuke stuck his arm out the door, waiting for Itachi to throw him one.

"Then what fun do I get from it?" Itachi asked, smirking. "You're already halfway out; I doubt you'd get that much water all over. Just come get one, they're right here waiting." Itachi patted the stack of towels next to him.

"Damn it Itachi, I'm serious. Bring me one." Sasuke demanded.

"No." Itachi said.

"Why not?"

"Because you're even cuter when you're mad."

Sasuke blushed a bit and said, "Fine, then I'll just stay in this bathroom. You're going to have to pee and take a shower sometime."

Itachi chuckled darkly, "There's a bathroom down the hall. You're going to have to eat sometime."

Sasuke growled a bit. "Why are you folding towels anyway?"

"Two reasons, to tease you, and mother asked me to fold them for her while she's gone with father. We're the only ones here right now."

"Where did they go?"

"Not sure, but they won't be back for a while."

"Okay. Well, whatever, I'm not coming out until you bring me a towel." Sasuke said and closed the door. He leaned against it and waited. He was only waiting for about five minutes, but to him, it seemed as if an eternity had passed. He knew he could endure the waiting if he really wanted to, but he didn't want to. So, in lack of slightly being annoyed with Itachi for not bringing him a towel, he opened the bathroom door.

"That didn't take too long." Itachi said.

Sasuke completely ignored the man as he walked over to the dresser and put on some boxers. He didn't hear Itachi get up, and he forced himself not to jump when he felt arms wrap around him. He tried to continue with what he was doing but moving seemed impossible and his mind was distracted because of Itachi holding on to him.

"You can't seriously be pouting, can you?" Itachi asked and kissed Sasuke's neck.

Sasuke tried his best to ignore him. "Jerk," Sasuke mumbled under his breath. He couldn't help but lean into Itachi.

"It was just a towel." Itachi whispered.

"So?" Sasuke asked and turned around, breaking free from Itachi and looking at him.

Itachi could help pushing Sasuke against the dresser and kissing him roughly, he was trying not to do anything to him but with Sasuke half naked and in front of him, he couldn't help it. Not to mention that he had just gotten a slight view of the boy. He heard and felt Sasuke try to growl at him. "I need to talk to you." Itachi said, pulling his face away from Sasuke's.

Sasuke wore a look of disapproval on his face and pushed Itachi away. He didn't want to push him away, but he said, "That fucking hurt my back." He rubbed the spot where the dresser drawer handle had been pushed into his skin. "What the hell could you possibly have to talk to me about?"

"A little upset? I didn't mean to hurt you, but you can't just walk around half naked in front of me. There are a lot of things I have to talk to you about." Itachi gave a small smile and looked at the bed, "Mind helping me carry some of these towels?" He asked and walked over to the bed, trying to distract himself from doing it to Sasuke again.

Sasuke sighed and slipped on a pair of pajama pants and then followed him, picking up a few of the towels. He followed Itachi out of the room.

"You seem kind of down lately." Itachi suddenly said as they were stacking the towels in one of the hall closets.

"Hn." Sasuke responded. He didn't want to say he wasn't down, because part of him felt that way. He was still thinking about Naruto and his plan for Sakura. He was surprised that Itachi noticed. "You said you needed to talk to me." Sasuke said.

"Yeah, about Sakura."

"That bitch? I don't want to talk about her."

"That's the third time you've used profanity in under fifteen minutes."

"Your point?"

"And you're being mean."

"Well, you're not the one who got their back shoved against the dresser now are you?"

"I said I didn't mean to. You just looked so…" Itachi trailed off, closing his eyes and taking a breath. "Never mind."

"Whatever." Sasuke mumbled.

Itachi was silent for a moment before he asked, "What's bothering you?"

Sasuke huffed and turned away, after putting the rest of the towels away.

"Sasuke…tell me." Itachi said and followed Sasuke back to the room.

Sasuke sat down on the bed and looked at the floor. "I want to." He said, "But I don't know what it is."

Itachi looked at him slightly confused, "If it's Sakura…"

"No, it's not her."

"It's not me…is it?"

"No." Sasuke said.

"Then what?"

"I don't know."

"How could you not know? If something feels wrong, you should know what it is."

Sasuke sighed; maybe Itachi could tell him what was wrong. He decided he would tell Itachi that it felt like something was missing. "That's just it. I just don't know. I-It feels like there needs to be something more...like there's something missing."

"Something more of what? Missing from what?" Itachi asked he wouldn't know unless he asked questions.

Sasuke crinkled his brow and rolled over on the bed, "I don't know." He mumbled into the sheets. "Something more…of us…of everything."

Itachi was silent for a long moment before Sasuke looked at him.

"What?" Sasuke asked.

"It's just…I was thinking…"

"About what?"

"About us. I was wondering," Itachi paused and looked at Sasuke, he couldn't believe he was about to ask this, "Do you want to take things to the next level?"

Sasuke smirked, "If you had shoved me against the wall rather than the dresser and if we hadn't been interrupted by dinner before, we'd already be there."

Itachi smirked back at him.

"But, just because you did that," Sasuke blushed slightly as an idea popped into his head and he spoke, "You have to take me out for a full day on Friday, seeing as we have no school and all."

"You want a date?" Itachi asked.

Sasuke blushed even more. "It's what all normal couples do."

"Alright then, fine." Itachi said he'd definitely have fun with planning that.

"You sound like you don't want to." Sasuke said, getting up.

"No, we will." Itachi said, and then something popped into his mind. "On to what I really wanted to talk to you about, I talked to Sakura today; she left a note in my locker."

"She did?" Sasuke asked, feeling a bit of anger well up inside him. He really didn't want to talk about her after just talking about it with Naruto. Aside from that, Sasuke knew she couldn't really do anything with the information so there wasn't much point in worrying about her.

"Yes, I think you should know that she knows about your cutting problem."

"It's hardly a problem anymore, and I know."

"You do?" Itachi asked a bit surprised.

"Yeah, Naruto told me. He told her."

Itachi growled a bit, "Why would he do something like that?"

"I don't think it was his fault." Sasuke said, walking over to the bathroom. "You said you talked to her today?"

Itachi's eyes followed him, "Yes, I wouldn't worry about her too much."

"I know, but what did she say to you?"

"She just wanted me to stay away from you and break up with you for the most part. She threatened to tell everyone about your problem and spread it around the school."

"I doubt it would mean much to that population." Sasuke said, "Besides, at this point I wouldn't really care what she did."

"So if you come to school one day and everyone asks if it's true, you wouldn't care."

"Pretty much." Sasuke said, "We're about to graduate anyway."

"Something is wrong with you." Itachi said, "You're not really acting yourself."

"What do you mean?" Sasuke said. "Neither are you."

"You're being too carefree."

"And you're talking too much to be Itachi."

Itachi sighed and fell onto the bed, "Can't I be open to you?"

"Can't I?" Sasuke repeated.

"Hn." Itachi replied.

Sasuke sighed. His phone rang then and he walked over to his cloths to pick it up.

"Hello?" He said. He heard a sniffle and a slightly weak voice of Naruto say,

"Hey, Sasuke."

"Are you alright?" Sasuke asked, although he wouldn't show it, a bit of worry ran through him. Naruto definitely didn't sound like himself.

"I'm fine. But my landlord's not. He fell down some stairs and… had to go to the hospital."

"I'm sure he'll be okay." Sasuke said, slightly relieved that nothing was wrong with Naruto.

A few moments passed before Naruto spoke again. "It's not just that. He broke a few bones and Kakashi's devastated. He drove me to the hospital with him, but I think he's going to stay here. I need someone to take me home."

"It's alright; I'm sure...um..." Sasuke had to think of the landlord's name for a moment, "I'm sure Iruka will be alright. We'll be there in a moment."

"Thank you Sasuke."

Sasuke sighed and closed his phone, when did such a thing happen? Hadn't he just been at Naruto's not too long ago? He set down his phone and opened up the bathroom door; he walked over to the dresser and pulled out a shirt, slipping it on.

"Hey Sasuke, who was that?" Itachi asked, "Better yet, what are you doing messing around in the bathroom rather that lying here in bed with me?"

"We can talk some other time; we need to go get Naruto."

"Why and just how do you plan to do that?" Itachi asked.

"I'll tell you about it on the way there. I'm sure you have a car somewhere? I do have my license, just not a vehicle, that is, unless you want to drive?"

"You can drive." Itachi said getting up and slipping some pants on, he wondered if Sasuke would ever ask him why his parents were driving him everywhere. It didn't really matter at the moment, but sooner or later Itachi might have to tell Sasuke that he was suspended from getting his license until he turned twenty-one. It had happened last year when he was messing around with one of his old friends named Deidara. It was one thing Itachi could never get, even with the Uchiha fame and charm. He just couldn't seem to get his license back.

Sasuke watched a red and puffy eyed Naruto fumble with his keys to unlock his apartment door. Sasuke sighed and took the keys away from him, opening the door himself.

"I saw it happen." Naruto whispered.

Sasuke sighed again. "If you don't come to school tomorrow, we'll come by and check on you."

Naruto nodded and walked inside his apartment, taking his keys and closing the door behind him.

"Come on." Itachi said, making his way down the stair case.

"Should we leave him alone like that?" Sasuke asked, following Itachi.

"He'll be okay."

(((0)))

Itachi and Sasuke arrived back home and were snacking in the dining room just fifteen minutes before Fugaku and Mikoto returned home.

Sasuke was sitting on Itachi's lap feeding him a strawberry when Mikoto walked in.

"Hello boys." She said and walked around the counter, setting her purse down and letting out a breath.

Sasuke blushed and instantly got off of Itachi's lap, just moments before Fugaku walked in.

"Have fun?" Itachi asked.

"Yes, for the most part. Did you fold those towels like I asked?" Mikoto asked.

"Yes, folded and put away." Itachi said.

"What are you blushing for boy?" Fugaku asked, looking at Sasuke.

"N-No reason." Sasuke said, blushing a bit more although he was slightly scared of Fugaku.

"Hn. You boys want to go fishing Friday?" He asked.

Sasuke glanced at Itachi, who looked at him and then at his father.

"We already made plans for Friday. Can we go Saturday?" Itachi asked. As much as he didn't want to go anywhere with his father at the moment, he was at least trying to put forth some effort.

Fugaku nodded. He was only doing this because his wife had suggested it and he was trying his best to accept his sons. As much as it displeased him, Mikoto had had a point when she reminded him of their past. "What do you have planned for Friday?" He asked.

"Do you really care?" Itachi asked.

"Itachi, speak nicely to your father, he's trying." Mikoto said.

"Hn." Itachi said and looked at his father, "I'm not sure if you'd want to know, but Sasuke and I are going on our first official date that day."

Sasuke blushed and wished he could just shut Itachi up from answering them, but he figured they had a right to know what their sons were doing. He was thoroughly embarrassed, the fact that Itachi could speak smoothly about it made him amazed.

Suppressing the urge to slap Itachi in the face and yell at him, telling him how stupid and dumb he was being, Fugaku let out a breath.

"The whole day?" Mikoto asked, curious.

"Yes. It was Sasuke's idea."

Sasuke blushed even more as eyes flicked over to him and he gave Itachi a glare.

Itachi smirked and said, "They asked."

Well, thank you everyone!

Chapter 11 will be up soon!
