Chapter: XI

Nineteen Forever

Sparks

A week and a half later

Home....

Sasuke had a baggy sweater on with a large hood, it reached to his knees and it made him look like the some sort of strange person, maybe even deth himself. Under his hood he had a beanie around his head, and for pants he had baggy black jeans, but under them he had some shorts just to keep him warm, the night was very cold after all and the sidewalks were slightly covered in snow. His shoes were Air walk mark, black with blue designs that decorated the side and matching blue shoe laces.

He looked snug.

Maybe even like a suspicious individual.

After all, it was around midnight and he was walking the streets alone with only a blue back pack slung over his shoulder and nothing more. Everything was lonely and the eerie orange light that came from the lamp posts help light up the night. Plus he was not someone you would regularly see coming here, every now and then; he was more like new here. And anything can happen in the dead of night. Oddly enough the moon was bright enough for him to walk around the streets without feeling frightened when it came to shadows.

And so…..

Slowly he walked down the cold January Street, it was still dark out, the wee hours of the morning and Sasuke wanted to get home and ….. Well… No, he didn't want to get there to be there, no there was something else that was pulling him to go there. Something that was lean, dark, and handsome, something with such piercing eyes, and something he could never forget that called it self Itachi. He needed to see him again and Sasuke didn't know why.

His steps slowed as he looked up at the house. The thoughts of going inside after finding out what he was suffocated him. Shaking his head and taking a deep breath he walked over to the door and tried to see if it was locked, of course it was. He brought out his key and inserted it into the key hole and tilted the key so that the lock snapped open. He pushed the door open and walked inside closing the door behind him and locking it once more. The house was warm and dark at the same time, it almost seemed empty.

He sighed to himself.

Of course, everyone was still asleep.

What was he expecting?

Pulling his hood and beanie off Sasuke made his over to the kitchen where he opened the fridge and got out a water bottle. He opened it, hearing the lid snap and then took a small sip before closing the fridge and walking over to the stairs as he kept the water to his lips bobbing a few sips up his lips as he walked up the stairs. He made sure to make little noise as possible when the door he was currently passing opened and the light hurt his eyes for a moment.

He really was not expecting this.

On the other hand, Itachi had been up all night unable to sleep and when he heard someone enter and walk up the stairs, he became curious. He felt his heart tighten in a way he had never before and he was glad to see Sasuke was back. Maybe a little to glad to know that the boy was back here and he really didn't want to ponder on what he was feeling at the moment "Well, good morning" the sleepy husky voice said and Sasuke blushed when he saw who it was, Itachi in his naked chest glory and his dark eyes seemed to flare from dark to a light glowing red that was barely visible. Damn, he was getting those weird feelings again.

His heart tightened and he felt as though someone had just knocked the air out of him leaving him breathless and his knees wanting to give up on him "Good morning" he mumbled more to himself, but Itachi heard him clear as day, even the slight falter in the boy's voice. He also noticed the slight blush on the boy's cheek and that made him happy.

"So, you deiced to return?" He could see that the boy was being affected by his voice, and all that kept running through his mind was the image of Sasuke pressed to the wall by him, and he kissing him roughly. He so badly wanted to do that, the thought making him lick his lips and it didn't go unnoticed by Sasuke.

"What do" Sasuke couldn't think straight, much less create straight sentences with Itachi just being there "this and that so…. I'm leaving. Bye" he waved before he turned, his stomach twisting as he continued to walk down the hall. He didn't know if it was him or not, but he swore he could feel Itachi's gaze burning into his back. Itachi was disappointed; he didn't want to lose the boys attention. Sighing he watched as Sasuke opened his room door and what ever he saw only scared him. "AAAAH!" Sasuke yelled and slammed it close once more. He couldn't believe what he had just seen.

He ran all the way back to Itachi who was still standing there looking at him amused. Itachi couldn't help it the way Sasuke had yelled in horror and slammed the door, it was amusing. "What happened?" He asked, biting back a laugh as he looked down at the boy. This was the first time that he had ever truly felt like laughing at someone for doing something strange and at the same time hug them. This boy really was adorable and entertaining.

"Inside, there!" Sasuke shook his head "Legs and arms! Hips and lips, no more, make it go away! Damn it all to hell make it all go away!" Sasuke suddenly buried his face in Itachi's bare chest startling the long haired Uchiha and they both jumped when Sasuke's room opened to reveal a hysteric naked blond barely covering his middle part with a white blanket. The brunet seemed to be coming out as well, but opted for not making a scene.

Sasuke's white blanket!

Sasuke wanted to kill him.

"Sasuke! Wait" The blond stopped when he saw his little brother with his arms around Itachi's naked waist line. Not to mention that Itachi had an arm around Sasuke's shoulders as well "HEY! NO MOLESTING MY BROTHER!" At that Sasuke and Itachi reluctantly pulled apart from each other. As far as anyone knew, there was absolutely nothing going on between them…..Yet.

Though for the moment Sasuke wanted a change in subject"You are a complete idiot Naruto! Leave damn it! I don't want to see you!" Sasuke hissed out

"What are you so pissed about, so what?" Naruto huffed "So you walked in on me and my boyfriend having sex, big deal!" Sasuke glared. "It's only the most normal thing in the world and you should know" Naruto shrunk back when he saw Sasuke's glare. Okay, maybe walking in on your older brother having sex was not the most normal thing out there, even if they were not blood related.

"Big deal, huh, big deal" Sasuke chuckled darkly and Itachi had to smirk at how cute Sasuke sounded and looked "ILL TELL YOU WHAT THEBIG DEAL IS! ITS THAT YOU WERE USING MY BED TO DO YOUR DISGUSTING THINGS IN! THAT'S WHAT, YOU'RE A MORON" Natuto was surprised by Sasuke's loud voice that woke up everyone in the hall way.

"What's all the noise about" Sakura asked and then glared when she saw Naruto's bared behind, such a nice sight she had of it as well. With it all abused and a covered in white semen, she wanted to have a nose bleed but quickly covered it up by acting disgusted "NARUTO!" she hit him over the head with a closed fist.

"I thank you" Sasuke said making Sakura blush and Naruto glare.

"What are you doing here anyway Teme!" Naruto hissed "I thought you were in Alaska having your own private vacation"

"Only for a two weeks or so" Sasuke tilted his head "I got a job and my boss wanted me to take a trip there for some paintings"

"You mean you got your manga dream job?" Naruto looked amazed.

"Kind off" Sasuke muttered. He had, he was now in the process of making his own Animation/Manga. But he didn't really want to go into specifics. Besides it was all for a cover up story and nothing more "Now get your disgusting self out of my sight before I humiliate you even more" Venom dripped and Naruto finally noticed himself and everyone around him.

"Right" the blond said and secured the sheets around him before going back into the room. Sasuke feeling like everyone's eyes were on him simply turned around to walk back down the stairs where darkness stayed in the living room, the darkness that comforted him so much and hid him from their stares. He was taking the couch.

That night Sasuke had not been able to sleep peacefully, and he was slightly cold do to the fact that he did not have any bed sheets with him. He really missed his room, but now he was never, ever, going go inside that room!

By the time morning rolled around Sasuke was sitting in the couch with a laptop on his lap typing rapidly, the television on with some sort of cartoon playing, a bag of chips on his left and a bowl of cereal to his right. Sasuke had come to terms with his obsession of having chips for breakfast as well; it was due to all the sweets he was given when he was young. There always was a craving for something un-healthy. It wasn't sugary at all, much more like salty depending on the flavor of them. Still it wasn't like he didn't crave the sugar; he just preferred to get it from his soda can.

Naruto stopped in his tracks as did the others as they watched the young raven. "Sasuke" Naruto called.

"Hmmm"

There was only more typing that followed, none of them could type that fast. None of them had even bothered to learn so it was impressive coming from this human. Still, that was not what concerned Naruto, Sasuke's pro choice in breakfast did "What the hell are you eating?" he drawled out and Sasuke pushed some buttons on his computer before snapping it shut and stood up, stretching out.

"I'm not that hungry" he mumbled before getting the plate of cereal and taking two spoon full's as he walked over to the kitchen with the rest of them following him and Naruto. Sasuke set the cereal in a cat dish bowl and put it down for the gray cat they had there to eat. The cat seemed grateful. Everyone had followed the young raven in and settled around the table. There was a difference around the young raven, something they still couldn't quite come to terms with, and then again they really didn't know him all that well.

"Still eating unhealthy I see" Naruto glared at the chips but then he smirked "Chibi-raven" Sasuke went tense.

"How..."

"You're room mate was kind enough to tell us your little nick name" Naruto grinned as he tried to hug Sasuke who moved out of the way.

"Why do they call you chibi-raven anyway?" Kiba asked. Sasuke turned around to face them as he buried half his face into the sweater that was way to big for him. He had not taken it off last night, it was to cold for that and he had ended up curled in it. Still, the sweater was really big and soft.

"Don't know. Ask them" Sasuke walked out of the kitchen as quickly as he could. The stares he was receiving were getting to him already.

"I think he's sad" Hinata said once Sasuke was gone and out of hearing range, in a way after that time that she and Tenten did that to him, it was like Sasuke was a small child hiding. It made her feel regret for what they did in-front of him that even Tenten felt the same. Not that they would ever say what they had done to anyone, that was a secret. Besides, they much rather forget about it all.

"He so much like a child" Tenten decided to say, after all that part was true.

"I know huh!" Naruto smiled, he had to agree completely. After all that is how he viewed Sasuke, as a small child.

"And he looks a bit like Itachi" Kisame chuckled, he had been itching to point that out to everyone. He was just thankful that Itachi was not here at the moment otherwise the Uchiha would have his throat for saying such dumb things. Itachi had a thing about people looking like him, like when that guy Sai was said to look like him. The boy had nearly been killed and then had ended up leaving, moving far away as he could from Itachi and at the same time he dyed his hair a light brown color.

"NO HE DOESN'T!" Well, at least Naruto tried to tell himself that. In a way he didn't want Sasuke to have anything to do with Itachi, and it was due to the fact that he could sense their attraction. Itachi had never shown such interest on anyone! Much less a mortal. And the image that came to mind, of Sasuke hugging Itachi's waist, that really had been a shock….was there something already going on that he didn't know about?

"I say the best medicine is to take him out" Sakura decided to pitch in as she looked around the table, she was hungry and everyone seemed to agree with her, after all they had been in the house for some time now. What better plan then to go out somewhere! After all, a fair was being held about an hour or so away from here. All of a sudden, out of no where came in Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Shizune laughing their asses off and they knew they had gone out to get drunk once more. Suddenly Tsunade started to sob.

"Please tell me you found Sasuke already" She clutched onto Naruto making the blond nearly fall off his chair.

"He's in the living room" Kisame grinned and Naruto rolled his eyes when she started to jump up and down. Jiraiya tool a moment to sketch it as well as he could, but in the end it only ended up looking even more perverted.

"Really!" the woman was happy once more with her little mortal son and then thankfully stopped jumping "SASUKE!!" she started running. Sasuke on the other hand only had a bit of time to escape.

Later that Day

Sasuke stood there with a baggy dark blue shirt over him and baggy black jeans with blue designs that matched, and his same air walk shoes. Over all he was a bit mad yet at the same time nervous. They were going all out and to somewhere that he didn't know and he was not comfortable with their means of transportation. At least Tsunade and Jiraiya had been left passed out in the living room floor.

They were taking the pick-up truck as they called it, it was an old family run down truck that allowed three to ride up front and it had like a trunk kind off room that could hold just about eight of them if they sat to the side. Naruto was driving of course and Kiba and Kisame sat up front though the Shark like guy wanted to be in the back to see what would happen between the others. Sasuke was at the end, then Itachi and finally Sakura and Ino by the door as she looked out the driving vehicle. Hinata and Tenten had left before they even made plans to come out. That didn't matter at the moment.

On the other hand Sasuke was looking up front trying his best not to look at the long haired raven that was sitting next and opposite to him, he was the main reason why he was feeling so nervous. Sasuke could just feel those eyes on him and something stirred up in his stomach and lower back and he could not take it any longer as he turned to face the guy who was really starting to bother him by making him hot under the collar.

Itachi on the other hand was highly pleased to grab the boy's attention.

"Hi" Itachi said waving at him and a smirk spread his lips which made Sasuke blush and quickly look away from him. Itachi then lifted his leg and set it on top of Sasuke's own making the boys breathing hitch. He couldn't quite put it into words or really know what was going on with him; all he knew was that he was enjoying Sasuke and all his little reactions. The mere presence of the boy made him feel lighter and some other feelings he really could not describe at the moment. Last night he had been able to sleep well knowing that Sasuke was just down stairs and safe, though he did want to go downstairs with him "Hey" he called out again trying to catch Sasuke's attention once more.

"Leave me alone" Sasuke muttered and turned to glare at the man, though it was half hearted. He looked more like he was pouting than actually glaring at the man who was teasing him. A man, who by the way looked to be in his twenty-two and not to mention younger looking than any of the others, was bugging him. Not the annoying kind of bugging…more like arousing and intriguing. Sasuke really did not want to be interested, and yet here he was.

Sighing, Sasuke decided to settle with just looking out the window, even though he felt tensed up from having Itachi so close. Well, Itachi's leg was over his….. Could this situation get any more suggestive? Though Sasuke had to wonder as well if Itachi was really flirting with him or was he just playing……

Sakura on the other hand couldn't take the ride much longer "Man, it's crowded in here and hot, why couldn't we take the van? And my but hurts already" Sakura hissed at Naruto who only grinned back at her. He knew he couldn't get hit by her since he was driving all the way in the front and she was all the way in the back, so yeah, he was going to ignore both snobby girls complains.

"My legs are falling asleep" Ino started as she also struggled to get comfortable.

"Well, If Lee hadn't left with his van we wouldn't have to take this, but no he, Neji, and Gaara decided to split!" Naruto interjected. That was happening all the time though and he had to wonder where exactly it was that they went. "Besides, Jiraiya…..well lost his car and Tsunade is going to be pissed off once she comes down from her high"

Both girls groaned.

Though, unknown to them both raven where ignoring them.

Sasuke tried his hardest to ignore Itachi and pretend that the long haired raven was not bothering him one bit as he just sat there, nothing more. Itachi on the other hand simply kept staring at Sasuke and he knew he was starting to get to the boy. Soon they were in a crowded place by both cars and people. There were a lot of kids laughing and some whining. They were at a fair and suddenly ignoring Itachi became easy.

Sasuke disliked them!

As soon as they found a parking spot, which took them nearly two hours just to get one, they all got out and stretched as they made their way over. Sakura and Ino were thankful that they could stretch out now, after all they had complained so much to the point it got on everyones nerves and Itachi nearly kicked them out to the street to get run over. Sasuke wished he would've. Anyway, there were a lot of rides, a lot of people, and many types of food, clothing, cell phone, Ipods, DVD's, CD's, and toys for sale. The tickets were only three dollars each, special of it due to it being a Saturday, not to mention a January cold day. You'd think not a lot of people would come, but damn was it packed.

It was a miracle that they had even made it inside.

Though by this time Sasuke was already hungry.

Plus he needed to use the restroom.

"Oh! I want to ride that!" Naruto said, it was the disk and it kept spinning round and round with a couple people already yelling inside of it. The hairs on the back of Sasuke's neck stood up at the thought of getting on something like that. Who ever had made that ride was not right on the head and so was asking for people's death "Come on Kiba! Please, please!" It was funny how when Naruto knew where Sasuke was, he forgot about him.

"Sure" And the hyper active due were gone hand in hand to wait in line so they could get in the ride where some people were also awaiting their turn.

"Oh well" Sakura smiled, she was one for not getting on those kind of rides as well "I want some cotton candy!" she chirped and ran on her own. She wanted to also meet some men.

"I'm going to find a guy who'll buy me things!" Ino ran the opposite side, she was more bold about it.

That left Sasuke and Itachi alone because Kisame had suddenly vanished. Where the shark man had gone was a complete mystery to them all. Even so, Sasuke's heart kicked in his chest.

Itachi looked at the young boy, he really had no business in fairs, he didn't exactly know what he'd do with himself here alone, he had only come as an opportunity to hang out with Sasuke. After all, Kisame had begged him to come and Sasuke was the only reason he agreed, damn, there was something wrong with him "So, what do you want to do?" Itachi's deep voice made Sasuke pay attention to him again. Sasuke tried to calm his beating heart and shrugged.

"I don't like fairs, you can go like the other's and leave me alone, go have fun" Itachi smirked as he eyed Sasuke.

"You don't like fairs?"

"Yeah"

"Why"

"Don't know"

"Want to go get something to eat?" Itachi decided to ask, there was no way that he was about to leave Sasuke here alone.

"Yeah, but first I got to go to the restroom, man" Sasuke squirmed as he started looking around. Itachi nodded,

"Sounds like a plan" and they headed in search for the bathrooms.

In the restroom

The restroom looked small and ran down with vulgar tagging all over the wall. There was a lot of chipped away paint and it smelled like hell, but in a way it wasn't so bad. Sasuke and Itachi entered quickly to do their business; Itachi didn't want to have to return so he did his business now than later. As they peed, Itachi and Sasuke read all that was in the wall, about a cock inside delicious pussy and such.

Yeah, right.

That was disgusting.

Both of them zipped up their pants and made their way over to the sink practically at the same time.

To find there was only one.

Itachi turned on the water and both washed their hands at the same time. "This place sucks worse than anything" Sasuke hissed and Itachi smiled at him. He was wondering what Sasuke expected from a public bathroom.

"And you're cute" he decided to simply say. With that Itachi walked out leaving a speechless Sasuke to turn off the water and catch up to him.

"Wait up!"

And so the ItaSasu is flirting continues…..Even more intense the next chapter! I must say that this is the most strangest story I have written so far.
