So I'm sneaking in this small chapter, feel free to leave concrit and thanks for all the reviews and faves so far, you guys are the best! :-)
Sasuke couldn't explain the unadultered rage he'd felt when he saw Naruto. He was smiling, fucking smiling while watching Sai and Kiichi. He couldn't control himself, not the hurt of knowing Itachi was right. He knew as he moved he would do something Naruto would hate him for, something he'd hate himself for. He could have swore there was a small part of his conscience telling him to stop as he moved forward, with his legs guided by his hatred but he seemed to be lost in his ire.
This was the legacy of the Uchihas', they were ruled by their anger more than any other emotion. He saw when Naruto spotted him, but his first target and the one in his sight was Sai. He felt a sick sort of satisfaction when he hit him, watching as he fell to the grassy ground before doubling over. He made sure not to harm the baby, who luckily, Sai was only looking at when he approached.
He growled when Naruto called his name, feeling his jealousy and possessiveness triple when he snapped his eyes to him. All he could see was red, all he could feel was the need for revenge and all he could hear was his blood pumping in his ears.
"I. Hate. Liars," Sasuke growled in a menacing voice as he watched Naruto, advancing on him like a predator trapping its prey. He pointedly chose to ignore the high pitched words of Kiichi, who was calling out to him using the usual forename of Dada. He was so close to Naruto as he stood there looking like a deer caught in the headlights, that he felt that if he breathed any harder he would blow him away. He chuckled inwardly, deducing that Naruto's look was an admittance of his guilt. He was caught red handed and he couldn't even defend himself.
Sasuke rose his right hand as he towered over the cowering Naruto, ready to slap him across the face when he felt a tugging at his right pant leg. He blinked a few times as Kiichi's movements were what got him wavering, thinking about what he was about to do. Did he really want to hit Naruto? He knew he didn't, but it was so hard not to with the level of betrayal and hurt he felt. Naruto was a liar and he reluctantly lowered his hand.
"S…Sasuke, I…." Naruto stared wide eyed, he knew he was in a lot of trouble and he felt scared.
"Pick him up," Sasuke interrupted coldly with his gaze perpetrating all the rage he felt inside. His nostrils flared as he pictured himself doing things he knew weren't right.
Naruto hastily did as he was told, picking up his son who stood by Sasuke's feet. He watched as Sasuke angrily grabbed the baby bag on the bench before grabbing his arm in a painful grip and tugging him away. He took a sad look back at Sai, who was shakily trying to stand while still clutching his head. Deep down he knew he didn't deserve that.
But enough about Sai, he was in enough hot water by himself as it is.
"Sasuke, I can explain," Naruto whimpered as his boyfriend dragged him off. This was the one time he was sorry Sasuke lived so close to the playground/park. He wanted to say something, anything to the brunet before him but Sasuke seemed so out of it he decided to try when he calmed down.
Sasuke slammed the door shut with enough force to shake the hinges after pushing Naruto inside. He didn't push him hard, at least he didn't think he did but it didn't take away from his fiery feelings when Naruto stumbled with Kiichi in his arms, even though he was relieved when the child was successfully lowered to the ground. He threw the baby bag he had to the side and glared at the blonde.
Naruto wiped his hands on the side of his jeans pockets before turning around to face Sasuke, who was standing by the door with his arms folded, his back ram rod straight and a tense decorum to rival the most stern drill sergeant.
"Talk," was all Sasuke said icily. He watched as Kiichi spotted a toy he'd left in the couch from the night before and head towards it.
Naruto glanced at the baby before turning back around to face Sasuke. "I…I um…."
He wanted to talk, he really did but Itachi's words came back to haunt him, to ring so loud in his ears he wavered at confessing. What if he really did take his child away after he talked? "I…."
Sasuke was so fucking furious he acted without thinking; Naruto hesitating meant he didn't have a good explanation and it pissed him off even more. He grabbed the blonde by the throat and pushed him against the wall, growling at the frightened look on his face. He squeezed as he whispered in his ear, "I'm waiting on your explanation…if you have one."
Naruto grabbed at the hands around his throat while staring into the eyes of the one he loved, which was full of so much pain he knew he had to talk. He expected Sasuke to think he was cheating on him, especially after what he told him the night before, but he didn't know the entire story.
He would tell him.
"Sasuke, let me explain," Naruto managed with the hands around his throat. Luckily Sasuke wasn't trying to kill him, because his hold, while uncomfortable, was not really harmful.
Sasuke let the blonde go and angrily walked a few centimeters away, trying to calm himself down. He had to know why Naruto would do something like that, after everything they've been through.
"I can't believe you Naruto, when Itachi told me you were seeing Sai behind my back…." He shook his head in disbelief.
Naruto's eyes widened and his mouth open in incredulity at that, "He said WHAT?"
Even Kiichi turned to look at his parent at his outburst before focusing back on the toys at hand, it was hard work throwing things around.
Sasuke shook his hands as if trying to shake out his emotions. He turned to look Naruto in the eyes, knowing that what he was about to say, he probably shouldn't have. It sounded wrong even to him but he couldn't help it, it was how he felt.
"I never took you for the lying, cheating type who would whore himself around like that Naruto. I mean, if you had just told me you still had a thing for Sai I would have let you go…" the last part came out broken and hurt, "…especially since he's Kiichi's father and I guess he does have some rights where you're concerned."
Naruto couldn't even feel the tears that ran out his eyes when Sasuke said those words to him, all he could register was how much his heart was breaking and he felt his stomach drop. He blinked once, and that's when he realized his eyes were full of tears.
"Is that what you really think of me?" Naruto whispered with a voice full of so much hurt Sasuke couldn't help but want to hold him. He swore he never wanted to see his love hurt, but here he was hurting him instead.
"You haven't given me a reason to think otherwise," Sasuke answered. His voice had evened out to a thin tone; it was affecting him what was happening to Naruto; the look on his face, even if he felt he did him wrong.
Naruto shakily walked over to where Sasuke had thrown the bag down and he picked it up before walking over to Kiichi. He picked him up to leave, but he just stood there with the baby on his hip and the bag across his shoulder before turning around to look at Sasuke with the tears still running out his eyes. "He…he said that if I didn't meet Sai he would make child services take my baby away. He threatened me to meet him, said he would do that if I told you or Sai what he was doing. I…I just didn't want to lose my baby..."
As much as Sasuke didn't want to believe, he knew it was something his older brother would do. He didn't want to acknowledge that side of Itachi but he knew he was manipulative and heartless, even if he tried to make it seem it wasn't so. Even some of the things he did when they were children, he often wondered if his brother actually hated him or not. The praise and affection that came out of his mouth was sometimes a sharp contrast to his actions, but he chose to see the good in his brother because he was family, and after a while he thought he had changed. Seem he hadn't…
Naruto was walking away with a heavy heart and was almost to the door when he felt Sasuke's arms wrap around him. He didn't have the heart to fight anymore or the will to argue, so he just stood there, waiting to be let go so he could leave.
"I'm sorry you think so little of me…" Naruto whispered more to himself than to Sasuke. He was still reeling from what Sasuke had said; it was such a hard blow to his psyche he couldn't think straight.
"No, I'm sorry, I didn't know," Sasuke whispered apologetically while nuzzling the back of the blonde's neck, he held on tight, not wanting to let his love go. He wish Naruto had told him before he'd opened his mouth and said what he had. "I didn't know…."
He turned Naruto around to face him, lifting up his tear streaked face so he could look into his eyes. He started kissing him even though he had his baby in his arms; if Naruto wouldn't believe his words, maybe he'd believe his actions.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I was scared he'd…"
"Shhhh," Sasuke soothed while placing chaste kisses on his lips. Naruto didn't have to explain, he understood, he knew deep down inside Naruto wouldn't have done what he accused him of, but he was angry and he wasn't thinking straight at all.
But, he was still angry, the only difference is he had somewhere else to redirect it; Itachi's not going to like what happens the next time they would meet. He had all intention of going over to the bastard's house once he calmed Naruto down. He slipped the strap of the bag off his shoulder, allowing it to fall to the floor before leading him over to the couch. Kiichi was returned to his position before the toys and he sat beside Naruto, hugging him close.
Sasuke was about to apologize again when he heard his doorbell ring. He had all intention not to answer, but whoever it was, was persistent and he reluctantly let Naruto go to answer the door.
After swinging said door open, Sasuke was surprised to see Sai standing there with an ice pack being held to the side of his head. He immediately felt guilty for hitting his little brother. He wasn't about to apologize, but he stepped to the side to let him inside.
"I had no idea…" was all Sasuke said and Sai knew what it meant; he was sorry. He nodded his head at the small explanation.
"What happened?" he directed to the two in the room.
Sasuke turned to face Naruto, he preferred if he explained since it was his problem in the first place and he knew the full story.
Naruto looked up at Sai and wiped his eyes.
"Why are you crying?" Sai asked suspiciously, he looked to Sasuke before looking back at Naruto. "Did he hit you?"
Sasuke folded his arms and raised an eyebrow at the question, "You think I'd hit him?"
Sai held out the ice pack haughtily as proof of his judgment before putting it down on a table close by.
They both looked at each other squarely before turning back to Naruto, who was looking at them questioningly. "Can the testosterone between you two get any higher?"
The blonde then shook his head as if to clear it before addressing Sai. "Look, Sai, I didn't tell you everything. I really didn't want to meet you, I wanted nothing to do with you and if it wasn't for Itachi forcing me to meet with you, I wouldn't have."
Sai felt so hurt by that, it wrenched at his heart to hear Naruto say he was forced to meet him and that's the only reason he was able to know his son. He looked to Sasuke, trying to hide his hurt and his brother turned his head away after looking at him, it was true. "You were forced…."
Naruto now felt like shit. It's only since all this had happened since he realized that maybe he was too hard on Sai, he looked like he was holding back tears and he didn't know why, but he felt bad for hurting him like that. "I'm really sorry Sai, but I was so overcome with my anger I hadn't taken the time out to see that you were genuinely not trying to fuck up my life once again. I'm sorry, especially for Sasuke hurting you."
Sasuke saw the pointed look Naruto gave him and he only shrugged, he already apologized to Sai.
Sai looked between the two and noticed their exchange. "Don't worry Naruto, he apologized, trust me. So you said Itachi forced you, why would he do that?" he quiered, genuinely confused as to why Itachi would do something like that.
"I thought he'd changed…." Sasuke muttered.
Sai remembered; all the things Itachi would do behind Sasuke's back to hurt him. He couldn't understand at the time why Itachi behaved the way he did, and he still didn't understand. But he never thought he'd go this far, it was uncalled for and petty; he never expected that from him because he was older and was suppose to be wiser.
"What are you guys planning to do?" Sai asked, he was actually hurt Itachi would try to force Naruto to do something like that. He wanted when the blonde accept him, it would be off his own merit and not something somebody forced him to do.
Sasuke grinned lecherously, "I have a baseball bat in the bedroom and a meat cutter in the kitchen and a chainsaw…"
"Sasuke…" Naruto said pointedly, glaring at his boyfriend. Sai looked horrified. "Nobody's committing murder."
Kiichi suddenly started to cry and Naruto looked at his baby, "I guess it's time for your feeding and a bath."
Both Sasuke and Sai watched as Naruto took the infant and head towards the bedroom. When the blonde was out of earshot, Sasuke turned to his younger brother.
"What do you say we go and give Aniki a piece of our mind?"
Sai grinned, "With pleasure."
Neither young men had any intention of telling Naruto they were leaving, because they knew he would try to stop them.
Sasuke was the first to reach the door and he threw it open, surprised to see his parents standing there; his father had one hand poised as if he was about to knock and his mother looked agitated.
"Mom, dad, what are you doing here?" Sasuke paled, there could only be one thing that they would want.
"Where the hell is our grandson?" Fugaku asked angrily and Mikoto mirrored his expression.
"Shit," Sai cursed, this was not good.
