Very short chapter, but this is just to help me get back into writing again... I was neglecting the story a bit too long.
My updating will be better, promise!
Itachi sighed once he opened the door, leaving the dinner hall to find Sasuke. Itachi was thoroughly annoyed with Naruto's stupidity. But then again, he is seventeen years old and found out his wife turned out to be a man... 'This'll be a difficult one to solve.'
He walked up the many stairs until he made his way to the top and to the guest bedroom which was currently being used as Sasuke's sleeping quarters. "Sasuke...?" Itachi said as he took a peek around the door.
"Here," A mellow voice that belonged to Sasuke called from the bed. He was wrapped like a cocoon with only his head peaking out, while Kakashi packed his things, mumbling something about spoiled Uchiha brats.
"What are you doing," Itachi asked as he placed his hands on his hips.
"What does it look like?" Sasuke said as he sat up from the covers to acknowledge his older brother, "Kakashi is packing my things so I can go home" he then eyed Kakashi, "Although, he's doing a poor job of it."
Itachi made his way over to Sasuke and poked Sasuke lightly in the forehead, "I didn't mean that, little brother." Itachi sat down on the edge of the bed. Looking up at the ceiling, he sighed, "So, how long has it been?"
Sasuke stared, "How long has what been?"
"Since you've been in love with Naruto." Itachi said, plainly.
Sasuke set his eyes on his brother for a brief second before finding sudden interest in a lose thread of his silk cotton sheets, "I'm not in love with him, I won't deny, I have been attracted to him for... e-eight years, but it's not that deep ..." Sasuke's expression was almost emotionless, except for the tiny bit of sadness Itachi could see.
Itachi made a displeased moan as he ran his fingers through his hair, "… So now what?"
"What do you mean 'now what'?" Sasuke nearly snapped, "By the end of the day Naruto will have a forgotten about me, and this war will escalate even further after finding about the rejection of marriage."
"We both know we can't let that happen Sasuke," Itachi said in a stern voice.
Sasuke paused until he buried his head in his knees, "I know…"
Itachi patted Sasuke's shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay, all we have to do is make sure we don't lose hope!" Itachi stood up and turned to Sasuke with a wide grin, "I think you should apologize!"
Sasuke stared in disbelief as he lifted his head from his knees.
"After all I want a little nephew or niece to look forward to," He said as he put a hand on his own heart, "So be a grown up and apologize"He took out his hand so Sasuke could grab, as if to settle the agreement. Sasuke grabbed it, using it to pull himself up out of the bed.
"Thanks Itachi…" Sasuke said smiling a real smile for the first time in a while. A long silence soon followed after before...
"SO WAIT, I'VE PACKED FOR NO FUCKING REASON?!"
Yay shortness! And d'aww Kakashi, you could of been spending that time flirting with Iruka.
