-

Naruto felt as though his head was going to explode. He didn't know at all what he was going to do anymore. He thought this plan with Sasuke was going to end up working perfectly but no, nothing could ever just go Naruto's way. Even his love life had become a battlefield of wishes and regrets at this point.

But what was making Naruto even more angry was Sasuke. The Uchiha seemed completely calm about what just happened to him and it was really starting to piss him off. Where was his sympathy? They were in love right? Why could Sasuke not show it? Naruto rubbed his temples, he knew Sasuke was slightly emotionally retarded but he needed the Uchiha to comfort him, even a simple 'I'm sorry' would suffice. But no, he had been completely silent since they left the group.

Sasuke was down right pissed. He may not have looked it but his blood was almost at a boil, who did this guy think he was? Wasn't it illegal to harass someone about their significant other? Even though, Sasuke knew, it wasn't because Naruto was gay, it was because of his employer. He wondered why though, it had bothered him since he started working for Hakkaku but he didn't really think much of it until now. What could have possibly happened between them that caused such bitter blood? Sasuke could only think that it must have been something that affected Teuchi worse because he seemed more pissed about it. Sasuke mentally sighed, glancing over at Naruto.

The blond looked as though he was going to explode. There were so many choices he could make now. And he really hoped that breaking up wasn't one of them. Now that Kiba and Sai seemed to concede to the whole idea of them being together, Naruto could easily convince him into lying for him, for a couple months at least. Sasuke had yet to tell Naruto the good news, Itachi had managed to pull some strings and the internship for him started in September, two months away. And while he was there he would be finishing his degree while getting paid. Sasuke had planned to surprise Naruto with it after their date. He was so close now, he really hoped that Naruto could hang on that long. But, Sasuke supposed, now was as good of a time as any to tell Naruto.

" Naruto…I have something important to tell you…" Sasuke muttered as he turned into Naruto's apartment complex. The blond was rubbing his temples, opening the door of the car as Sasuke parked.

" What is it Sasuke?" He said in a mildly uninterested tone. He could tell that his mind was in other places and not really paying Sasuke much interest. Sasuke could understand though, if this was happening to him, his mind would be going a million miles a minute.

" I've been meaning to tell you for a couple days that…Itachi is fast tracking my internship. I'm going to be shadowing him starting in September which is two months from now. I just want you to keep that in mind before making any rash decisions, okay?"

Naruto nodded a little. But what Sasuke just told him only seemed to complicate everything even further. Though Itachi had fast tracked him, it wasn't going to help them now. He was considering calling Kiba and begging him to lie to Teuchi for a little bit but he had a feeling the Kiba would probably just scold him and remind him of how well his last plan worked out. And it was true, the last one had seemed perfect. Though no one can ever underestimate the power of coincidences.

Naruto bit his lip as he entered his apartment. The best option at this point seemed to be breaking up with Sasuke. Even if it was only for two months. And it was probably the least like option on the list. Naruto felt like he was going to slam his head against a wall. This was probably the WORST decision he had ever had to make.

He almost wished he had something on Teuchi so he would just leave him alone but he knew he could serve him with some kind of lawsuit. He known Teuchi since he was a small child. He assumed that was why this new behavior was so shocking, he had never reacted this way when he brought one of his other boyfriends into the shop. Of course Teuchi thought he was only Naruto's friend but that was beside the point. He shouldn't have been so angry with Sasuke, he hadn't done anything wrong.

Naruto flopped down on his couch, Sasuke following his lead. He held Naruto, petting the blond and kissing him every so often. Sasuke could tell that Naruto wanted to have sex, it was what he was going to use as his form of comfort for this but he knew it would only cloud the blond's judgment.

Unfortunately, Sasuke knew what he needed to do, even if he and Naruto weren't going to like it. He needed to break up with the blond so he could spare Naruto the pain of doing it himself. He knew they couple of months they would be away from each other would be hard, but they would be worth it in the long run. But whenever he looked at the befuddled blond in his arms, he could help but feel a stab of pain growing in his heart. He didn't want to break up with Naruto, he didn't even want Naruto to spend more than two days away from him. And he knew if he explained the break up thing well enough, they could just hang out and have sex on the low.

Or….

Naruto could quit.

Sasuke knew that he and Itachi were remotely well off right now and as soon as Sasuke started to shadow his brother, the money would just keep flowing. And he could only assume that Itachi wouldn't really mind having Naruto living with them. He could constantly mess with the two of them then. And he knew how much his brother loved ruining his life. Plus, there was always the bonus of they were probably going to end up living with each other anyway. He was in the love with the blond and all, and it would be much easier to deal with Itachi if the he was there to brighten his day.

But…

He didn't know how Naruto would react to either of these ideas.

It was obvious to Sasuke that he needed to ask Naruto to move in with him first. He was mostly sure if he brought up the whole breaking up thing, he would get emotional and more than likely cry. Sasuke knew he would want to if he wasn't so emotionally retarded, he probably would cry right now.

" Naruto…Why do you just quit and move in with me?" Sasuke suggested. Naruto noticed the hint of hesitation in his tone and knew it wasn't because of the fact he didn't want Naruto with him, but because he was nervous to how the blond would reach. Naruto started to chew on his lip a little as he thought about it.

He wanted very much to quit at this point. Teuchi was really, really, starting to piss him off and it would stick it in that old bastard's craw if he just up and quit. But there in lied the problem, he had gotten this job, this apartment, and built his life from there. He had mooched off Kakashi and Iruka for so long that he actually loved the thrill of independent living. He just couldn't give it up now, it was too important. He didn't want to rely on Sasuke to be his knight in shinning armor and rescue him from his problems. Which was technically what he was supposed to do since he was a kind and good boyfriend but Naruto almost felt resentful towards him.

" No, I can't Sasuke…" Naruto muttered leaning back against the Uchiha's chest. " I don't want to be a bother to you and Itachi." Sasuke knew that Naruto was just feeding him lies. He knew the blond wanted very much to live with him but there was something holding him back from doing so. He could only assume it was because of Teuchi, he almost wanted to know what the man was like when he wasn't being a completely and utter dick.

" Then…" Sasuke said, slightly breathlessly. It made Naruto slight nervous to hear Sasuke talk with such a desperate tone. It made his heart ache. " I think we should break up…"

" What?" There was a hint of utter disbelief in Naruto's tone as he turned his head towards Sasuke. He was smiling, but his eyes betrayed him fully. It looked as though his heart was smashed into fine dust and then set on fire. Naruto reached up, his hands shaking from shock but Sasuke pulled away from him. Naruto felt a tear on his cheek and he just couldn't help himself from doing it. All the stress, all the anger, all the frustration, it just came flowing out of him.

Sasuke grabbed Naruto, holding him and sucking in a breath shakily. He knew Naruto would cry but he could tell it wasn't just for their relationship, it was for everything. He rubbed the blond's back, trying to calm him down, shushing him and rocking his body comfortingly.

The Uchiha decided then that in his free time he would figure out why there was so much hatred between Teuchi and Hakkaku. If he was able to dig up the secret and maybe even helped to work them out, then he could be with Naruto faster but until then Sasuke could only say one thing. " Just until September…Two months…Wait for me Naruto." The blond shook his head, gripping Sasuke's shirt tightly as he continued to sob. "My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself. Because it is an enemy to thee; had I it written, I would tear the word."

Romeo and Juliet…Yes, they were very similar to them right now. It may not have been their families keeping them apart, it was their professions. However, Naruto knew exactly what Sasuke was going for when he said it. There was love in those words, there was also hate, there was frustration, and pain, but the main feeling was…Hopelessness. Ripping a name would not change the person and their past, just as Sasuke doing anything other than breaking up with him would do nothing for Naruto but cause more frustration.

THE NEXT DAY :D …I WARNED YOU IN THE FIRST BOLD PART! YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HATE ME!

Itachi parked his car in Naruto's apartment's lot. He looked over at his passenger seat, there as a bag full of beer and ice cream, two things Itachi believed the blond would appreciate at a time like this. He grabbed the items and headed up the stairs towards the blond's apartment. These were moment where Itachi actually felt like he was being kind of creepy. He knew Naruto's apartment number and where he lived probably before Sasuke did.

He sighed a little. His little brother sure was foolish when he wanted to be but this had really taken the cake. He understood completely why he did it, but Sasuke had given in too easily. He knew that with a little more gentle prodding, the blond would have more than likely decided to move in with them. And Itachi was slightly angry Naruto said no, he was a fantastic housemate. He made breakfast and everything! And if he had moved in, Itachi would have been able to harass the crap out of them without having to leave the comfort of his home. It would be like a child having fifty bucks in a candy store.

But a man could dream…A man could dream…

He knocked on Naruto's door, hearing the shuffling in the house as the blond made his way towards the door. He heard slight cursing as Naruto threw the door open. He was obviously still upset. His eyes were puffy and red from crying, his hair was in a complete state of disarray like he had his head buried in pillows all night.

" Itachi?" His voice cracked right at the end hinting that Naruto was more than likely going to start crying again. And just as Itachi thought, the blond became a living fountain. The older Uchiha actually didn't know whether or not to go up and hug the blond or not; he didn't want Sasuke to hear about it and be put on his hate list.

" Oh fuck it…" Itachi thought as he grabbed the blond, pulling him into his chest. He petted the soft blond hair, letting him cry into his shirt. He backed them into the apartment, closing the door behind him and setting the necessary items on his coffee table. Naruto was still clinging onto him even as Itachi sat down on his couch, grabbing a can of beer from the plastic bag.

The blond perked up a little as Itachi handed him one as well. " I thought it would ease the pain…But that's not all I brought…" He pulled out the tub of ice cream and Naruto thought he was going to cry again. Itachi may have been a super dick and was kinda crazy whenever he wanted to be, but he was actually a really caring, sweet person.

A FEW BEERS AND A TUB OF ICE CREAM LATER :D

Naruto was actually feeling kind of better. He had been surprised though, Itachi practically ate that entire thing of ice cream by himself and from all the phone conversations he had with Sasuke, he knew that the younger detested sweets. He had assumed Itachi did too, but now, he was almost afraid to eat a candy bar in front of the man.

Itachi was lying on the couch, Naruto sitting next to him on the floor, finishing up the last beer in the bag. The Uchiha had only bothered to buy a six pack to lighten the mood and nothing more, he knew if Naruto drank too much he would become a human fountain again.

" Hey Itachi…" The Uchiha perked up, arching a sculpted eyebrow at the blond. This was the first time he had really talked besides their small chit chat, which Itachi didn't count much because it was punctuated with tears and shovelfuls of ice cream. " Can I use my four questions now?"

Itachi was mildly surprised. He had thought Naruto had forgotten about that. He smirked a little, so he was saving them for a special occasion. It was the perfect time to bring them out really and it only proved more and more to Itachi that Naruto cared very much about Sasuke. He was even willing to go behind his back to get information about him; Itachi was starting to like Naruto very much.

" By all means, ask me anything." Itachi said with a smirk.

" Why Itachi? Why did Sasuke break up with me?" He should have known that one was coming. He was probably the only person besides Naruto who knew a good deal about his little brother, even Sai, his self proclaimed best friend, knew little about him. But Itachi knew exactly why Sasuke did it.

" So you wouldn't have to suffer with the guilt." Itachi said looking over at the blond. He looked slightly stunned but was listening quietly. " Sasuke, though he may not look it, is an extremely caring person and takes on a good portion of emotional responsibility. He even cried for me after our parents died because I was too busy to grieve properly. He cares for you deeply and it would kill him to see you in so much pain about your decision to break up with him so he made himself into the bad guy, taking the fall so you wouldn't have to."

Naruto felt like he was going to cry again. Sasuke was too good to him. And he knew Sasuke stilled loved him and that this was going to be their last chapter but it still hurt all the same. He sniffed a little bit leaning back on the couch. He was holding the tears in but he knew once Itachi left or whatever, he was going to bawl like a baby. Sasuke was sacrificing himself for their love and it made him want to throw up and cry and scream and call him to tell him how much he missed and loved the damn bastard.

Itachi started to pet his head a little. He had a feeling that was probably one of the only questions Naruto wanted to ask him and he almost wanted to drop hints on good questions the blond should ask because he knew Sasuke would keep many things about himself a secret.

Naruto chewed his lip a little. He was very tempted to ask Itachi about America but he felt slightly guilty about the temptation; if Sasuke loved him, he would tell him eventually, right? It was probably just hard for him to think and talk about…Naruto didn't know why he was trying so hard to convince himself that he didn't know. He totally did, it was eating away at his very soul.

" Why do you and Sasuke go to America every year?" Itachi hand fell from Naruto's head. Now that, was a good question. Itachi smirked a little, he was really, really, starting to like Naruto. He had more than likely noticed Sasuke strange shifts in behavior whenever they talked about it. But there was good reason. Extremely good reason.

" Our parents are buried in America." Itachi said as he resumed petting Naruto's hair. The blond was completely stiff with shock and the Uchiha almost wanted to laugh. Indeed, Naruto had stumbled onto the mother of Uchiha secrets. " We went there on a family business trip but unfortunately for us, one of my father's business partners snapped. He shot and killed both of my parents before shooting himself. Of course Sasuke and I had no idea at the time since we weren't with them at the time, but the next day our uncle, Madara, contacted me. He lives in America and runs my father's branch over there and when he picked Sasuke and I up from our hotel and told us the news…A little bit of him died that day. My main concern from then on was to make sure Sasuke was always taken care of and from that day on, I assumed the role of head of Sharingan Incorporated. The legal battles between my father's partners and I still give Sasuke nightmares."

Naruto turned his head to say something but Itachi cut him off. " They would come over to see me frequently because they wanted me to sell off all of my parents' stock and then have one of them raise us as their own children. Sasuke was more than afraid that in my legal battles he would end up loosing me and that we would be separated. I was still a minor and I was fighting for the right to adopt him and live in my parents' house and work as the head of a corporation with greedy fuckers breathing down my neck constantly. It was extremely hard for Sasuke and he still doesn't like to talk about it, not even with me."

" You're a really good brother…" Naruto muttered looking back at Itachi in awe. The Uchiha smirked a little.

" Of course, Sasuke is the world to me. His happiness and life are far more important than my own. So when he asked if we could visit my parents' graves every year, I couldn't say no to him. We stay with Madara when we go and stay for a week. We always plan it perfectly so we can actually spend time with our uncle…But that's not the point…The first day we arrive in America, we visit the graves because we want to get the most emotionally draining part out of the way first so we can enjoy the rest of our trip. And on the last day, we say goodbye to them before heading back to Japan."

" I would have never thought that Sasuke dealt with that much shit before he was even a teenager. I mean, when my parents died they left me my godfather, Iruka. And I went to live with him and he treated me as though I was his son, so did Kakashi. I never felt unwanted by either of them. But you guys were just chased after because of your money and your names, never really wanted for who you were but what your status was…That must have been a terrible existence." Itachi shrugged a little. He had won all of his legal battles, he was successful now, and he was a major role in Sasuke's life. He couldn't ask for much more. To the victor go the spoils, Itachi supposed. " But…Sasuke is really lucky to have you Itachi. And here I thought you were just a sadistic nut job, you're acting a wonderful, caring person. Who would have figured?"

" Correction, Naruto. I am a sadistic nut job. It just makes me cooler than you."

Itachi: Awesome. Naruto go buy me a cake.
Naruto: Why?
Itachi: I'm in charge now and I want mah damn cake. This was Itachi-sama
Naruto: Really? You're going to change that too?
Itachi: Why not?
