I spoil you all with my ridiculously speedy updates. *pouts*

This is a mini-chapter, and I apologize for that, but I'm planning a time-skip and I thought this was the best way to end this part.

I tried way too hard on writing this...just...fuck. My brain. It's mush now. *deflates*

Please review~

Itachi was shocked. He didn't think Sasuke would ever be so…forward. He tried to push his younger brother's face away from him, seeing as he was still holding it in his hands, but Sasuke grabbed his hands and forced them away from his cheeks and down to the elder's sides.

Now, Itachi was much stronger than his little brother, but he could hardly believe how…demanding Sasuke was being. The kiss itself wasn't all that demanding- it was light and almost innocent- but the fact that he had the audacity to try and kiss him again was rather surprising.

Itachi's eyes remained open, as did Sasuke's. It almost seemed as though the boy was trying to stare the elder into submission. He continued to knead his lips lightly against Itachi's, but Itachi wouldn't respond. Then, Sasuke bit down lightly on the elder's bottom lip.

For some reason, that simple action ignited a spark of pure lust in Itachi and before he was truly aware of what he was doing, he'd begun kissing back almost violently. Sasuke moaned and let his eyes slip shut. He soon released Itachi's hands, and laced his fingers through the elder's hair, pulling out his hair-tie in the process. It was as though all the self-restraint Itachi had been exercising over the past week had suddenly been broken.

"Mmm, Aniki," Sasuke moaned as the elder continued to attack his mouth. Itachi almost felt as though he'd lost control of himself; the part of him that should have been screaming for him to 'stop' was completely silent. The elder soon pushed the boy down, and crawled on top of him while never once breaking their passionate lip-lock. He licked along the boy's bottom lip, which caused Sasuke to gasp. Itachi took this opportunity to eagerly shove his tongue into Sasuke's mouth, and the boy was obviously surprised, but tried his best to respond with his slightly shyer tongue. They continued to make out for awhile until the elder had finally calmed down enough to think clearly. Their lips slowed down, and Itachi's tongue was less insistent, and they just…kissed.

Then, Itachi pulled back.

What did I just do?

He remained in his position above his baby brother, though, and simply looked at him. Sasuke's eyes were half-lidded and his face was flushed and he was panting slightly, but he honestly looked…happy.

"Sasuke…" The elder felt extremely conflicted. Surprisingly, he didn't have the urge to vomit as he did last time. Perhaps it was the fact that Sasuke had physically initiated the kiss this time that kept the crushing guilt and nausea at bay; although, he'd gotten a bit carried away, and he felt bad for that.

Wait…

Itachi's eyes widened.

I'm hard.

He soon sat up and scooted over to the edge of his bed. Sasuke propped himself up on his elbows, and regarded the elder curiously. Well, at least he isn't running away and throwing up again.

"'Niki? What's wrong?"

The elder was blushing terribly.

"It's nothing," he responded as he tried to nonchalantly shift himself so his bulge wasn't showing. He didn't do a very good job of it, though, and Sasuke caught sight of it. He smirked triumphantly.

"Is that because of me?"

Itachi's eyes widened once again and flickered up to Sasuke's, but then he began staring at the ground.

"…Obviously." He murmured, causing Sasuke to chuckle.

"It's okay, Nii-san," Sasuke said. "I'm hard, too."

Itachi's eyes nearly bulged out of his head, and then, without his consent, flickered up towards Sasuke's crotch. Yup, there was definitely a tent there. The elder held his face in his hands.

This can't be happening.

"I could…help you with that," Sasuke suggested. How he managed to sound completely innocent while doing so was a complete mystery to the elder. Itachi got even harder at his Otouto's kind invitation, which caused him to groan. Then, he stood up.

"I'll be back," he choked out.

"You're not going to throw up again…are you?" The younger asked. Do I really disgust him that much?

The elder briefly found himself wondering how Sasuke knew he threw up the last time, but decided there were more pressing matters at hand.

"No," said as he shook his head before rushing out of his room and towards the hallway bathroom. Once there, he shut and locked the door behind him.

He had something else to take care of.

Sasuke wasn't convinced his big brother was telling him the truth, so after he heard the door close, he made his way towards the bathroom as well. He stopped outside it, and pressed his ear up against it.

What is Aniki doing in there?

He couldn't hear anything for awhile, and was about to give up, when…

"S-Sasuke…"

The pre-teen's eyes widened considerably.

That was definitely a moan, and people moan when… Sasuke's eyes widened even more, and he began to blush.

Was his Nii-san…touching himself? While thinking of him? The boy backed away from the door quickly- imagine how awkward it would be to get caught eavesdropping! He scampered back to his Aniki's room, and plopped down on his bed. Well, this sure gave him something to think about.

I did that to him?

Ten minutes later, Itachi came back. At the sight of his big brother, Sasuke immediately flushed crimson and averted his eyes. He couldn't stop imagining him doing…that. Did it feel as good as when he'd done it to himself? Sasuke shut his eyes and shook his head quickly to try and will away those thoughts. He'd just gotten himself to go soft again, and thoughts like that definitely weren't going to help!

"So," he began, "what were you doing in there for so long?"

Itachi blushed and seemed to be looking everywhere but at his little brother.

"Nothing," he mumbled.

Sasuke was going to call him a liar and tell him that people don't just disappear for ten minutes without a reason, but soon decided against it. He had another, more important question.

"Uhm…where does this leave us, Aniki?" The young boy asked. He didn't know what they really were now that their feelings were out in the open and they'd kissed the way they did.

Itachi sighed, and sunk down onto the bed next to Sasuke.

"Just…I'm not saying I'll never give us a chance, but I need some time to sort myself out, Sasuke. You're still so young, and I-"

"Stop saying that! I'm not that young, y'know!" Sasuke exclaimed. He hated that his Nii-san kept bringing that up. It's not like he could help it!

"Otouto…"

Itachi leant in, and lightly kissed his baby brother on the forehead, then each cheek, before pausing right above his lips. "Just give me time," he whispered before kissing him chastely. This kiss left Sasuke with butterflies, unlike the last which had left him hard and wanting. This one wasn't full of carnal desire or lust. It was full of love, and he never wanted it to end.

But, eventually, Itachi had to pull back.

"I love you, Sasuke," he said with a gentle smile.

Mikoto stepped into the dimly-lit office. She clutched at her purse nervously while resisting the urge to bite her thumbnail.

This will be good for me, she reminded herself for what felt like the thousandth time that day.

The woman glanced around and noticed numerous medical papers and such decorating the walls. She also noted that there were a couch and chair near the center of the room. She then turned her gaze to the desk in the corner where her new therapist was currently sitting. The woman glanced up and smiled kindly at the lady raven.

"Hello," she began. "My name is Tsunade."

Woo! That was actually a lot of work. ;-; I don't even know...
