Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

This will be this chapter update until I return from camping. Hopefully I can wrap up the rest of my notes and finish this baby soon. I got a great plot brewing!

Itachi was skipping like a school girl as he ran around his hotel room packing his bag. He gave victory fist pump every time he managed to slam another piece of clothing into his already stuffed bag. He knew he must have looked absolutely ridiculous but he didn't care, it wasn't like anyone was watching him. He gave himself a once over in the mirror and smiled. By tomorrow morning he would be back home and back snuggling with his baby brother in their bed. It had only been a few days but he wanted this trip to be over. The merger had went very well and Itachi was very much in line for a promotion to head director of business management. Itachi had decided that if he had ever gotten that promotion he would have big plans. He'd move himself and Sasuke to a house with less rent and less room, with it being just him and Sasuke, they were really paying for unused space.

His bags were packed and he looked at the clock, his flight left in two hours. He hauled everything together and did a once over to make sure he didn't forget anything. Itachi shamelessly stole some of the nice soaps and shampoos and stuffed them in his travel bag, along with the scented hand towels. He shut his room door and wheeled everything to the lobby where Kakashi was waiting for him with the car parked outside. They packed the car and sat in silence the half hour ride to the airport. It seemed Kakashi had learned his lesson when messing with Itachi Uchiha. He no longer wished to anger his employee and suffer for it any longer. They entered the air port and checked in their luggage. He was in a happy mood until he approached his terminal and stopped dead in his tracks. Goyoma and his daughter Miya were standing by the doorway to the plane. Itachi suddenly felt physically ill and he was sure his face showed it. He looked at Kakashi with a glare.

"You're final attempt at persuasion?" he growled under his breath. Kakashi shrugged and waved at Goyoma.

"Yes and no, I had no idea they would be here. I could have sworn I said my goodbye's at our last dinner which you so happily decided to play sick. Must be they figured they could catch you at the one place you would have to be in order to leave town," the silver haired man said. Itachi quickly hardened his facial features as he approached the pair. Goyoma shook hands with Kakashi and Miya attempted to hug Itachi which didn't go well for him. Itachi quickly stepped back and thought of a comeback for the girl's crestfallen look and Goyoma's confused one.

"I'm afraid I was very sick last night, I don't want you to catch anything," he replied in his usual cold voice reserved for strangers. Kakashi coughed and addressed Goyoma.

"How kind of you to take the time to see us off. I hope we aren't taking up your time?" he inquired.

Attention! Flight 82 to Kohana is now boarding, now boarding!

Itachi mentally sighed when the announcement was made. Miya frowned and tilted her head a bit.

"Are you sure you have to leave so soon?" she asked, dark eyes pleading. Itachi ignored her look of sadness and closed his own eyes.

"My loved one is waiting for me," he replied. He didn't see her look of shock as he walked forward to give a slight bow to Goyoma.

"It was a pleasure to meet you Mr. Goyoma, I hope you enjoyed the presentation," the raven said. Without another word Itachi disappeared into the gate and boarded the plane. Goyoma sighed and faced Kakashi.

"He's rather straightforward isn't he? Doesn't seem to be much of a people person either," he mentioned. Goyoma couldn't help but glance at his daughter who was looking sadly down at the carpet where Itachi had left her. Goyoma looked between the gate where Itachi left and her sad face. He turned toward Kakashi.

"Mr. Hatake, would you hear me out on a matter that would be beneficial to us both?"

Sasuke returned home the morning of Itachi's return to make sure everything was clean. Beds were made, carpets cleaned, counters wiped and a ham dinner cooking in the crock pot with potatoes and carrots. Naruto and his parents had pulled into his driveway and Sasuke climbed in next to his friend for the ride to the airport. Naruto had not been happy when Neji told him what ended up happening between him and Kankuro. The blond had immediately started scolding him and then started crying because he wouldn't have been there to prevent what ever could have happened. It took an hour and a candy apple but Naruto eventually settled down. At the end of the event all of them including Kiba and Hinata ended up going to Neji's to hang out. They had left Kankuro's unconscious body lying in the middle of the path to the parking lot so someone could just assume he drank till he passed out. Either way if Kankuro showed his face around Sasuke again, Neji and Naruto had allot to say to him.

Sasuke now waited eagerly for his brother to come through his terminal door. Naruto had his face pressed up against the glass, watching in amazement at all the planes that landed and took off. Eventually Naruto's mother had to pull him back by the hair because he was fogging up the glass and leaving finger prints. Sasuke unconsciously fingered the bruising on the side of his neck and partially his face. Sasuke left his hair down so he hoped the bruise wasn't too obvious. He knew eventually though that the truth would have to come out and Itachi hated secrets between them more than anything. Sasuke watched as Itachi's plane landed and pulled up to the terminal. Naruto was jumping up and down as Sasuke couldn't help but laugh at him.

"It's just a plane Naruto," he said. The blond smiled and turned toward him.

"But it comes from being up so high in the air! Man, being a pilot must be awesome!" the blond smiled.

The door to the terminal was opened by the stewardess. Tired looking people stepped out to be greeted by family or friends. Sasuke sat in the waiting seats until a familiar strong figure walked out carrying a small green duffel bag. Behind him a man with shocking white hair was smiling as he watched the other munch on some saltines.

"You still get airsick Itachi?" the man asked. Itachi shot his boss a glare.

"Only when it's dark outside the plane for some reason," he growled. The man shrugged and turned to the crowd that was waiting for Itachi.

"Your fans are here," he sang. Itachi raised an eyebrow at the man until he looked over. His breath caught and he smiled for the first time in days. He saw Sasuke sitting by his friend Naruto who was waving frantically at him. Sasuke was a fresh drink after the many faces of nothing but fake stranger friendliness. Itachi didn't hesitate to walk right over to the boy and nearly lifted him clean off his rear in a tight hug. Sasuke wrapped his arms around his neck and smiled wide.

"Welcome home nii-san," he breathed. Itachi smiled against his neck and stroked the back of his head.

"It's good to be back Sasuke," he smiled.

After being introduced to Itachi's boss who of which left Sasuke confused and a bit scared, they all headed for home. Kakashi had his own car while Naruto, Sasuke and Itachi rode in the back of Naruto's parent's car. Itachi exchanged a thank you to the couple for letting Sasuke stay with them and just idle conversation the whole ride home. When they eventually pulled into the Uchiha's drive way Itachi was relieved. Sasuke stepped out of the car and unlocked the front door, helping Itachi with his luggage.

"So how was the trip, did the meeting go well-h-hey! N-nii-san!" Sasuke suddenly yelped.

Itachi had closed the front door with a small slam and locked it. He dropped his luggage to the floor and immediately pressed Sasuke into the wall of the entrance room. He captured his baby brother's lips in a deep kiss before pulling back to look into those now needy and surprised eyes.

"I'm going to kill Kakashi next time he springs these trips on me. You're all I thought about on the whole damn trip Sasuke, I couldn't get you out of my head for a second," he whispered, kissing the side of his brother's head. Sasuke closed his eyes as his cheeks flushed. Itachi stroked his back and moved his thigh between his legs.

"N-nii-san...Ah, I-I missed y-you too!" he whimpered. Itachi captured his mouth again and Sasuke had to breathe through his mouth to keep up. He whimpered in pain a moment later when Itachi grabbed his face, causing pain to shoot up from the bruising. Itachi pulled his head away from the kiss and his eyes searched Sasuke's face.

"What's wrong?" Itachi asked, frowning. His eyes narrowed a moment later when he really stopped to look. He moved a hand up and brushed some of Sasuke's bangs away. Sasuke bit his lip when Itachi eyes the bruising on the side of his neck and his face.

"What the hell happened?" Itachi growled, carefully touching the bruising. Sasuke looked to the side before sighing and looking his confused brother in the eyes.

"Well...I sorta got...Into a fist fight?" the boy shrugged. Itachi felt his eye twitch.

After Sasuke was forced to tell the truth the house seemed a little...Tense. Itachi wanted nothing more than too go to his school and hunt down Kankuro and kill him. It took a lot of coaxing and kissing but Sasuke managed to calm him down and tell him how Neji had already taken care of the problem. It was night now and both brother's after dinner snuggled on the couch. Sasuke loved the gifts Itachi brought him.

Sasuke basked in the normality since Itachi's return. Sasuke still thought about Itachi's question and he wanted to give his brother an answer, he just wanted to get the timing right. Itachi hadn't mentioned anything about it since the phone call but he assumed his brother wanted him to have space to think. It was two days later when Itachi was leaving for work and Sasuke gave him a kiss on the lips before he was about to exit the car to school.

"Itachi," he said, using his name this time. Itachi seeming a little surprised nodded at him.

"Yes, what is it Sasuke? Forget something?" he asked. Sasuke blushed before he looked to the side.

"This weekend...I...I want to...," he whispered. He picked his head up and looked his brother in the eye. "I want it to be this weekend," he said, hoping Itachi understood. It only took a moment for it to register to his older brother. Itachi's own cheeks seemed to turn a bit red before he smiled and nodded.

"Are you sure? I mean I don't mind if you...?" he began.

"No, I...I want to. I really want to nii-san," he smiled. Itachi smiled fully then and leaned forward, kissing Sasuke fully again on the lips. Sasuke returned the kiss and pulled back when he heard the school bell ring.

"See you after school," Sasuke whispered.

"See you at home," his brother whispered back.
