Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or the characters.

Well this story will soon be at a close, I'm not doing a sequel because there are other projects I want to do. There will be plenty of side stories to this fic though, I know for a fact that you'll love them.

Enjoy the chapter!

Itachi Uchiha stepped out of his car and slammed it closed. He wore a pair of sunglasses that day to hide how red rimmed his own eyes were from his emotional night. Sasuke had suffered the worst end of it and he called the school to let them know he wouldn't be coming in. The boy was still sleeping and most likely would hopefully sleep his stress and pain away.

The older brother grabbed his case and walked through the building to his boss's office. He didn't bother to knock as he walked in and saw the very group he wanted to talk to. Kakashi sat behind his desk as Miya and her father stood near the couch. Upon his arrival Kakashi stood and Miya's father glared at him heatedly.

"You better have a good explanation for this!" he shouted, pointing at his daughter's face. Itachi took off his glasses and only spared them a glance as he walked right past them. He threw a letter onto Kakashi's desk and gave him a glare.

"This is my letter of resignation from the company Kakashi," he said right out. The silver haired man looked confused as he looked between the letter and Itachi's face.

"Itachi, what the hell is going on?" he asked, sweeping a hand toward the father and daughter pair.

"Every single one of the rules I set down have been broken regarding Miss Miya. I don't think I can work for a corporation that doesn't respect the wishes of a higher employee. Frankly Kakashi, I'm ashamed to see that you think so little of me and my terms. Especially after all the years of hard work I've put in as your personal management coordinator and speaker," he finished. Kakashi picked up the letter and looked hard at Itachi. He then looked toward Miya and her father who looked baffled.

"Miss Miya, what rules have you broken exactly? You agreed to the terms so breaking them is your own matter of stupidity," the silver haired man leveled. She gaped like a fish for a moment before clearing her throat.

"Look, all that matters is what Itachi's brat of a brother did to my face!" she screeched, pointing at her eye. Kakashi's eyes went wide.

"Really? Are you sure? It didn't seem to me that little Sasuke is capable of such a thing," Kakashi said, a hint of suspicion in his voice. Itachi turned toward them at last and gave them both a hard glare.

"The rules you broke were thus my dear. You communicated with me off the clock on off hours of the night. You wore ridiculous and lewd clothing in my presence. You treated this more like a rodeo than a work environment and you snuck into my home, scarring my little brother half to death and making him attack you and...You attacked me openly and hysterically when I denied any feelings toward you what so ever," he finished, glaring all the while. The girls own father leveled his own glare at the girl upon the words.

"You did all that? I send you here on behalf of my company and you pull all this?" he asked of her, not looking amused. She looked back and forth between them all.

"I...I, okay! So I broke some rules, so what! The fact of the matter is that Sasuke should be locked up! That little creep was acting hysterical and he punched me! I should have child services come and lock that little bastard away!" she yelled at them all. Itachi and Kakashi did not look amused in the slightest.

"I have never met Itachi-san's brother, but from what I hear from Kakashi, Miya...I think you're lying," her father said. She spun toward him looking horrified.

"What! Dad!" she pleaded. He held up a hand and silenced her. Itachi turned toward his boss.

"If this matter cannot be solved in the office then I will take Miss Miya to court for assault and a possible restraining order. It's obvious the girl has a bad obsession and a violent temper. I cannot work for a company that might endanger my own life along with my family," he finalized. Kakashi sighed and looked toward Miya's father.

"I'm terribly sorry for all this, I'll be sure to straighten this matter at once," he apologized. The man suddenly looked regretful as he looked to his daughter and sighed.

"No, no...This is my entire fault. I let my daughter run my line of thought. I will have her removed immediately from your company and take her home. I know your company will never be able to find or even locate someone as talented as Itachi-san. I will leave with my deepest apologies," he bowed. Kakashi bowed back from behind his desk.

"I'll have my secretary locate you a flight," he said back. Miya stood there in utter shock and disbelief. Not only did no one believe her, but she was not returning with Itachi on her arm like she had planned.

"Itachi, please, I'm sorry. It's just...You never..." she mumbled. She looked away and shook her head. She turned toward the door without looking at anyone and exited the room. Her father watched her go and sighed.

"We'll talk more before I leave," he told Kakashi. The man followed his daughter with a disappointed sigh. The door to the room closed and Itachi sent a glare toward his boss.

"You knew I hated her so why did you have to make this so difficult for me?" he asked the man. Kakashi rubbed the spot between his eyes as he sat down in his chair.

"She seemed good for you, I thought you should give it a shot," he shrugged, looking toward the raven. Itachi's gaze only hardened.

"Like I said before, I'm not a toy to be used in your game," he hissed. Kakashi shook his head and leaned back in his chair.

"Itachi, how long do you plan to live like this?" he asked, looking serious. Itachi narrowed his eyes.

"I'm no puppet and since it's none of your business anyway, I'm homosexual," he said boldly. Kakashi's mouth popped open and stayed like that a moment. A minute later he burst out laughing, his head landing on the desk. Itachi was not amused by this behavior one bit.

"That explains allot!" the man laughed, banging his hands on his desk. Itachi watched him for a moment.

"So am I resigning or are you going to clean up your act?" he threatened again. Kakashi muffled his remaining laughter and coughed to clear his throat.

"Nonsense, if you quit I'm royally screwed. No, none of this nonsense anymore. Now that I've figured it out I guess all I can say is that I will not let it happen again," he apologized. He looked at Itachi thoughtfully.

"How is...Sasuke? Is he okay?" he asked softly. Itachi turned away but stopped just as he reached the door.

"He was scared shitless and I do not appreciate it one bit. If this kind of thing ever happens again...I will sue your company Kakashi. I considered you a friend more so than my boss, but now I guess I'll have to re-think that," he finalized.

Kakashi watched as the raven slammed his door shut as he left. He felt a twinge of guilt churn in his gut before he sighed and drummed his fingers on his desk.

"Looks like I have a lot of ass kissing to do if I want to get this company anywhere now that Itachi is pissed at me. Why do I do this to myself?" he whispered.

Itachi's heart was thumping a million miles in his chest. He had to use allot of brains and guts to address everyone in that room. He shook his head as the adrenaline rush warred off and he was walking away from his boss's office. He took the elevator to his floor and walked swiftly to his desk. He sat in it with a huge breath and ran his fingers through his bangs. He wished he could have stayed home with Sasuke. All he wanted to do was lay in bed with his lover and let the rest of the world get on with its own problems for once. He took this all as a lesson though, the incident with Sakura had passed, but the lesson with Miya had almost cost him his little brother. He swore right then and there that any female who approached him in that way would get an immediate answer from him.

I'm here; I'm queer, get the fuck away from me.

He laughed to himself as he sat up fully. He turned on his computer and was happy to have his office back. He could work both in peace and with the fact that Miya was no longer a threat to him or his family.

Sasuke woke up around noon. His body was sore but on the inside he was happy if not still a little scared. The one thing he feared is that he had stayed with his original plan of stopping his relationship with Itachi. Things for him would have never been able to go back to normal. He couldn't sleep now unless he was next to Itachi or even if he wasn't in his room with him. He turned onto his side and sat up on his hip. The sheets pooled around him as he stood shakily and a bit painfully. He stepped into the shower and walked out much more refreshed and confident. He even blushed a little as he observed the bite marks all over his throat and stomach. He sighed though and deeply wondered if he should talk to Itachi about being over at Sasori's home.

He felt a huge welt of guilt over what he had been doing with the red head. His head and his heart were confused at the time and he led on one of his brother's friends. He rubbed between his eyes and went to get dressed.

He needed to speak to Sasori and apologize, fast.

Itachi typed away like nothing that morning had happened. He had received word from Hidan that Miya and her father had left the building and that their flight would be leaving tomorrow morning. The news had made him satisfied and finally be able to feel safe again. There was a knock on his door and he looked up. He expected to see Hidan or Tobi...

But no, he got Ino.

She pushed the length of her body against his door frame and smiled at him. It reminded Itachi of a blond cat stretching and basking in the sunlight. He raised an eyebrow when she smiled and instead leaned against the frame of the door, hand on her hip.

"I saw Miya leaving with her dad today, quite the shiner, your doing I guess? I never took you as a woman beater but I guess she finally got the message, huh?" she smiled, sauntering over. Itachi returned to his typing as she pressed herself at the corner of his desk. Itachi knew what her line of thought was; the competition was gone so she decided to move in.

"I guess in the end the better woman won," she smiled. She made to sit on his leg but he suddenly stood and stared her down.

"And what makes you think that you came out on top?" he asked her, tilting his head. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm the only one left, she's gone, so you chose me," she stated like he was dumb. Itachi chuckled and shook his head.

"Sorry sweetheart, but you don't have the right equipment for me," he smiled. She seemed confused and it showed on her face.

"What?" she asked. Itachi rolled his eyes.

"Either grow a penis or get out. I don't have time for your nonsense. Bottom line, I hate you both," he shrugged.

"Wait a...You're...?" she looked appalled.

"Gay? Yes, why did you think your advances weren't working? Now please drop your report and leave, this has to be on Hatake's desk by today," he said, sitting back down. Ino made choking sounds in the back of her throat.

"But I thought...Why...Uh!" she screamed. Itachi watched her march out of his office and huff as she passed the corner. She gave him a final glare as he simply waved his fingers at her.

"Tootles," he smiled evilly. Before she could completely leave though Itachi had one final thing to say.

"Oh...By the way," he said. She turned to him angrily and put a hand on her hip.

"What?" she spit out.

"You're a shitty friend to Haruno's memory. You don't try to fuck the guy that killed your friend. Only low down dirty skank whores takes advantage of the dead friend's crush. Now get the fuck out of my office," he growled. She looked stricken for a moment before she bit her lip.

"Shut up!" she hissed. She turned on her heel and marched down the hallway. Itachi leaned back in his chair and tapped his chin.

"Now that all the nonsense is over, I think I'll plan my honey moon," he smiled. He eagerly finished his report and quickly started looking up vacation spots. He planned to make it one hell of a honey moon for him and his little brother or...Soon to be husband.

Sasuke had called Sasori and asked him to meet him at the park. The red head was already waiting for him by the time he got there. He was watching some kids play ball in the field next to him, screaming as they ran around the bases. Sasori stared up at him with eyes full or hope and...Fear. Sasuke took a deep breath and held a hand out to him, trying to smile kindly at him.

"Let's take a walk," he said softly. Sasori stood up a good foot taller but nodded.

"Okay," he said. They just simply walked around the park for a little while. Watching people mingle and children play. Sasori's heart was beating hard in his chest; he knew that the news could only be bad by the way Sasuke had sounded on the phone. He bit his lip and already tried to think of things to say to the boy. Something maybe he could say to convince Sasuke that he was the right person for him and not this other boy. As he was lost in his thoughts Sasuke was casting nervous glances at him by his side.

Sasuke summed up his courage and broke the silence.

"I made up...With my boyfriend," he said. Sasori next to him swallowed and clenched his jaw. His biggest fear coming true.

"You're going to stay with him? Even after he cheated?" he asked, sounding hard. He shook his head, his bangs covering his eyes as his fists clenched at his sides.

"Sasuke...You shouldn't let him treat you like that! You are so much-" he was cut off from his angry remark.

"He didn't cheat on me!" Sasuke blurted out, spinning towards him. Sasori stopped walking and looked hard at him. He took the boy by the shoulders and shook him gently but firmly.

"Are you sure? You were upset Sasuke, you can't tell me he didn't just lie to you to get out of trouble!" the red head sternly told him. Sasuke shook his head and moved his hair out of his eyes, looking to the side.

"I love him Sasori and I can tell when he is lying to me. I even went as far as to tell him I wanted to break up! But...He begged me to stay, I was willing to give it up but he wanted me to stay," he said softly. Sasori shook his head and tried to think of something to say.

"Sasuke is there no way...You love him that much?" he asked in disbelief. Sasuke nodded and looked up into Sasori's eyes. The red head's gaze looked pained and desperate as they stood face to face.

"I do, and we plan on being together for the rest of our lives," he said quietly. Sasori felt cold at the amount of love and devotion in Sasuke's eyes for this unknown other.

"So there is no chance...Between you and me? That's pretty much what you're saying?" he asked in a lower tone. Sasuke shook his head.

"I am...Sasori, I'm sorry for making you think like that. It was wrong and I was so scared and I needed someone and it was you at the time but...It one of those things that just got out of hand. I'm sorry and...I understand if you're angry or sad...I'm just so sorry," he said in a whisper. Sasuke kept himself from crying at the crushed look on Sasori's face.

"Sasuke, I've loved you for years. I can't just simply let it go like that, it's impossible," the red head pleaded. Sasuke looked down and wiped one of his eyes.

"I know I'm sorry. But I can't be with you like that. I love him Sasori and I just can't...See myself being with you like that," he explained.

"So there is nothing, absolutely nothing I can do?" the red head whispered, staring him down sadly. Sasuke summed up the courage and looked into his eyes.

"No, there isn't," he said. Sasori opened his mouth and shook his head.

"Please, please Sasuke, I love you, I love you so much...I..." Sasori scratched his scalp, letting his fingers thread through his bangs.

Sasori hugged the boy to his chest and pressed his lips to his forehead. Sasuke startled and suddenly felt even worse.

"Please..." he begged again. Sasuke sniffed but shook his head.

"I'm sorry," he said sadly. Sasuke stepped away from the embrace and turned to go.

"Goodbye Sasori, please...Please don't stop being my brother's friend because of me," he begged in a whisper. Sasori watched him go with empty arms and a cold vice in his chest. He watched the love of his life fast walk out of the park and head home. He didn't know how long he stood there, looking as sad and miserable as he felt.

"Sasuke...Don't go...I love you," he whispered into the air.

Sasuke walked in a brisk pace back home. He kept himself from crying, he felt like the worst person in the world. Not only had he cheated by making out with Sasori, he ripped his heart out of his chest. He had given the other false belief that they had something together. The boy scrubbed his eyes with his coat sleeves and tried to keep from sobbing. He avoided major streets as he headed home to avoid the embarrassment of his red eyes and cheeks. He entered his home and took a deep breath. Walking into the kitchen he scrubbed his face in the sink and checked it in the mirror near the fridge. He deemed himself semi-normal and tried to do little things to distract himself from his misery. He was also conflicting whether to tell Itachi about what he had done. He feared the consequences and he feared about hurting Itachi.

To distract himself he started working around the house. Between school and his relationship he had neglected a few things around the home. The fridge needed to be cleared of expired food, the living room needed to be dusted and vacuumed. Both bathrooms needed a scrubbing and the bed upstairs needed a change of sheets along with the pile of laundry that needed to be done in the mud room.

He sighed shakily and rubbed his forehead. He needed to get out of this depression and fast.

After all, Itachi would be home in four hours.

Sasori closed his door only to be met with his older brother sitting on the couch. He was on the phone talking to someone, no doubt his new girl friend Konan. They said their goodbyes and he watched Pein hang up the phone. His older brother looked to him as he heard the door close.

"Oh you're home, good, grandma Chiyo called, she needed to talk to you," was all he said, turning back to the television. Sasori didn't comment as he walked past his brother to the kitchen, ignoring the phone call. He walked lifelessly toward the fridge and pulled it open. He didn't hesitate to pick up a beer and pop it open, drinking from it heavily. He didn't bother to close the door as he just stood there and stared at the contents of the fridge. His lip twitched as all the labels on the containers were nothing but blurs to him.

Who cares what they said...His heart had just been ripped from his chest. A jar of pickles wasn't going to cure something like that.

He took a final sip and simply dropped the empty beer can to the floor, going for another one. He wondered where in his mind he had gone wrong. He knew in the beginning he had come on too strong. He thought his goofy attitude and actions would appeal to someone like Sasuke who was soft. In the end it seemed circumstance after circumstance changed them both. Sasuke's hospitalization and Sakura's actions had opened his eyes. Sasuke needed someone strong and reliable, someone smart who would be able to protect him from anything. Sasori didn't know who held Sasuke's heart now, but the other must have been all of those qualities for the boy to become so in love. Sasuke was no idiot, he may act soft but deep down he was someone who was compassionate and strong.

That was the quality he loved most about the boy.

He bit his lip when he remembered bringing Sasuke to his shared apartment. The boy looked as if his soul had been ripped out and stomped on. He had trembled in his arms and spilled out all the feelings he had. Sasori's heart was at its maximum, compassionate about ridding Sasuke of his pain and anguish. He wanted to make love to the boy so badly, he wanted Sasuke to be filled with his love and erase the one that had caused him so much pain. He was close, so close to having what he wanted and always dreamed about.

He had just popped the can of beer open when he felt a presence behind him. He turned and let no emotion show as his older brother stared him down with narrowed eyes.

"Sasori, what are you doing?" he asked in confusion. He had been watching Sasori's strange behavior since he came through the door. It unnerved him at how Sasori seemed to be staring lifelessly into the fridge.

"Did one of your book drafts get denied or something?" he asked again. Sasori made a sound that almost sounded like a laugh.

"No...Nothing like that," he mumbled, taking another sip from the can. Pein reached up and gently pried the can of beer from his brother's hand.

"Look, you never drink unless you're upset and by the way you're downing them...It must be upsetting," he sighed, setting the can on the counter. Sasori watched the beer can for a moment before he looked at the floor.

"I was dumped, more on the lines of...Denied," he whispered, turning toward the kitchen cupboards. Pein raised an eyebrow and watched as Sasori took out a box of cereal.

"By whom?" he asked, curious now. Sasori shook his head and poured his box into the bowl near the sink.

"Sasuke," he said. He figured he might as say it all; it wasn't as if his brother and everyone else knew he was in love with Sasuke. He did notice though how Pein tensed up.

"You told Sasuke how you felt about him?" he asked softly. Sasori nodded and turned to look for a spoon in the drawer next to the stove.

"I did and he turned me down. He...He has a boyfriend," Sasori's hand on the cereal box shook. He took deep steadying breaths as his brother sighed and laid a hand on his little brother's shoulder.

"Sasori, I hate to say it but...You must have figures somewhere in the back of your mind that it wouldn't go as you imagined. Sasuke is younger than you; his brother would never let him go out with his friends and...The kid is going to be with others his age. He is a growing boy Sasori and he's only sixteen," Pein tried to reason.

"I love him!" Sasori blurted out. He shook of his brother and walked to the other side of the kitchen. He threaded his fingers through his hair and clenched at a large chunk of it.

"He came to me! He came to me when he needed me! He thought his boyfriend was cheating on him and he called me to come get him. I brought him back here and he cried and he was hurting! We kissed and he kissed me back! We could have...We might have had something together that night...But he...Went home," he breathed out. Pein stood stiff on the other side of the kitchen.

"You brought him here?" his voice rose. Pein shook his head and gestured to the couch in the living room.

"Did you try to molest him?" he yelled.

"No!" Sasori yelled back, face desperate and hair wild.

"Sasuke is sixteen years old. Even if he wanted to Sasori...That would have been statutory rape! You would have ripped his childhood from him! Not to mention, Itachi Uchiha would have every reason to send you to jail and make you a convicted sex offender! I would be able to do nothing! I would have to watch as the legal system sent you to the slaughter embarrass you and send you to jail!" Pein yelled the sound echoing through the kitchen.

"Oh what do you care? Y-you...Y-you've never been there for me! Each time I was humiliated at Itachi's house...Even when we were kids! You've never done anything but be-little me!" he screamed. Sasori turned his head and covered his eyes with his hand. Pein swallowed the saliva in his mouth and tried to calm his breathing.

"You're right; okay you're right about that. But it is no excuse to try and force Sasuke into something he doesn't want Sasori. Please, just think about what he wants and let it go alright? It's not the end of the world. There are plenty of people out there who could give you more than Sasuke ever could. Just...Let the kid be already," Pein sighed, approaching his brother. Sasori's breathing turned into heavy and silent sobs. His shoulders shook as he fought to contain the pain raging inside his soul.

"I l-loved him...I still love him, it's too hard...It's just too hard to forget," he sobbed behind his hand. Pein looked at the floor but didn't hesitate to gently bring his little brother into a hug. He felt a twinge of guilt at all the times he had yelled at Sasori as children to stop crying like a baby and suck it up. He had never offered any comfort to the other, not even after their parents had died. He held Sasori as the other cried against his shoulder. All he could do was rub Sasori's back and stare at the far wall. Regretting that he had never showed any kindness sooner.

Sasuke was chopping vegetables when Itachi came home around four. Itachi smiled at him and walked up, kissing him gently on the forehead.

"How are you feeling?" he asked softly. Sasuke closed his eyes as Itachi's fingers gently worked up his jaw and cradled the hair on the back of his neck. Itachi smiled and leaned forward to gently kiss his little brother's lips.

"I'm fine...I got a lot of stuff done today," he said softly. Itachi frowned and stroked his cheek.

"Your voice sounds hoarse, you should have relaxed today. All those other little things could have waited Sasuke," he said. Sasuke swallowed but gave a small smile.

"I just needed to occupy myself. I would have gone crazy if I stayed in bed all day," he said, sweeping some hair from his face. Itachi wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist and hugged him to his body. Sasuke snuggled his face into Itachi's neck and smelt the musky cologne that his brother wore. The hands on his hips moved up his back and gently massaged his shoulder blades.

"Miya and her father left the country this morning. I talked to Ino this morning also, no one will be bothering us anymore," Itachi whispered into his ear. Sasuke nodded and kissed the side of Itachi's neck.

"You always sacrifice so much for me," he whispered. Itachi frowned and pulled back to take a good look at Sasuke. The boy was staring at the floor, liquid coating the bottom lashes of his eyes. Itachi reached up and used his thumbs to clear the liquid away.

"I have sacrificed nothing; the only thing I almost lost was you. I'm not going to let some obsessed girl rip away the best lover born just for me," he said kindly, stroking the side of Sasuke's face. Sasuke shuddered and bit his lower lip.

"Itachi, I have to tell you something. I-I don't know what will happen after I tell you but...It's only fair," the boy whispered. Itachi watched him with confusion lining his face. Sasuke trembled under his stare but grabbed his hand to lead him into the living room. He sat on the couch and he had Itachi sit next to him.

"Sasuke, why are you so nervous? What's wrong?" he asked, sounding more worried than strict. Sasuke held back his tears and gently took one of Itachi's hands. He held it in his lap as he summed up the courage to talk.

"Itachi...I-I-" he began.

He told Itachi everything. He poured his heart out about where he had gone after he walked in on Miya on top of him. He told him where he had been for those two hours and who he had been with. How he had spilt his soul out to Sasori and the kiss that they had shared.

As Sasuke cried through his story Itachi only listened in stony silence. He watched Sasuke carefully and his heart clenched at the emotions crossing Sasuke's face. He was split between wanting to tear out Sasori's eyes and scolding Sasuke for running into someone else's arms. He knew the latter feeling wasn't fair though; Sasuke had been emotionally torn and had no clue what to do or where to go. At the end of the story Sasuke only stared blankly down at the floor, not looking up once from telling his brother the whole story.

"And I had to tell you. I-it's been eating me alive. I saw Sasori today and I told him how I had forgiven my boyfriend. I led him on and at the same time I-I c-cheated. I never went farther than kissing, but...It's the fact that I did it alone!" the boy gasped out.

He was met with silence.

Sasuke nervously looked up and felt his heart sink into the pit of his stomach. He couldn't place the look on Itachi's face as his brother studied him. He looked blank and calculating, like he was trying to figure something out.

"I-Itachi?" he choked, letting the tears fall.

"I-I'm-s-sorry, I-"

"Don't," his brother interrupted. Sasuke startled at the tone and swallowed. Itachi suddenly stood up and carefully took his hand out of Sasuke's grip. He reached forward and Sasuke closed his eyes, not knowing if his brother would either yell or hit him. He let more tears fall as Itachi sat on his knees in front of him.

"And Sasori knows, you don't feel that way about him?" he asked. Sasuke nodded and trembled as his brother reached up and gently touched his cheeks.

"I told him today...That I loved you, loved my boyfriend," he said quietly. Itachi nodded and made a noise in the back of his throat.

"You didn't go any farther than kissing and he didn't hurt you?" he asked with narrowed eyes. Sasuke shook his head.

"I-I snapped out of it in the end. I pushed him off me and told him I wanted to leave," he said. Itachi nodded again and carefully stood from the floor.

"Sasuke, stand up for me," he asked. Sasuke shakily stood, his legs threatening to turn into jelly beneath him. He almost jumped out of his skin when Itachi gently hugged him and buried his crying face into his chest.

"Sasuke, through all this...How did you feel?" he asked. The boy let out a sob and hugged Itachi's waist tightly.

"I felt empty inside!" he cried loudly.

"I felt like I lost everything! When she was on top of you I felt used and replaced! I wanted to run and hide, crawl into a hole! My body ran on auto pilot and I ran to the park! It was so cold and I didn't have anyone to call except Sasori. I was too scared...Scared to come back and think you were still with her!" he yelled. He sobbed even harder as fingers threaded into his hair. Itachi made soft noises in his throat as the grip around his waist got tighter.

"Please don't be mad! I'll do anything, but please...Don't hate me," he begged.

"That's enough!" Itachi's voice yelled. Sasuke was pushed back and forced to look up into Itachi's eyes. He startled when he saw tiny droplets spill from Itachi's eyes and land on his face.

"It's okay Sasuke, I'm not mad, I promise," he whispered. He leaned down and caught Sasuke's lips in a kiss, holding him tightly.

"I wanted to know; I wanted to know what happened and how you felt. We both did something stupid and in the end I drove you to do those things. I made you nervous and insecure. I don't blame you, not one bit, if anything I'm proud of you. Thank you, thank you for telling me," he whispered. Sasuke closed his eyes as the last of the tears fell. They kissed again and Sasuke moaned into the harshness of it. Itachi grabbed his backside and ground their hips together.

"I don't anything to come between us anymore. When we get married, I want everything to be out in the open," he gasped as he pulled away from the kiss. Sasuke was already kissing down his neck as he un did the buttons on Itachi's shirt.

"Me too, I want to do everything with you. I want to be everything with you. I love you Itachi-nii, I can't feel this way about anyone else!" he cried. Itachi ripped off his shirt and wasted no time on removing the younger's pants. Together they lay nude on the carpet, Itachi determined to bring as much bliss to Sasuke as possible.

"I'm going to warn you Sasuke, I'm not letting you off this floor for the rest of the night," he husked into Sasuke's mouth. The boy moaned as his hips were lifted and crushed into his older brothers.

"I'll take you're word for it," he panted, throwing his head back. Itachi marked the boy's throat with love bites and kisses. Their legs intertwined as they gently became one. Sasuke opened his eyes and ran his fingers through Itachi's hair as his brother gently thrusted within him.

"I love you Itachi," he gasped. The older smiled down at him and pressed their foreheads together.

"I love you Sasuke...My soon to be husband," he breathed.
