Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto anime or any of the characters. This fan fiction is purely fan made.

Sasuke might seem a little out of character in this one but I always wanted him to be cute. I even edited his looks a little so sorry! Some others might be out of character but that is only to make it funny in some places. There will also be drama and some heavy and detailed yaoi so no one under 18 okay? I'll warn you when they come up. Let me know if I'm not using something correctly and I'll be sure to fix it! Thank you and enjoy the fan fiction.

Chapter 1: Welcome Home

_____________________________________________________

Itachi sighed as he slammed the car door shut at the end of the day. Walking up his black top driveway he made his way to the finely lined white sidewalk. The lights in the house were on, signaling that his little brother was home. He opened the door to the two story blue and black house, taking off his jacket and hanging it up.

"Sasuke, I'm home!" he yelled out.

"Itachi-nii? Welcome home!" a delicate voice yelled from the kitchen. Itachi heard the soft sound of socked feet walk across the hard wood floors as the young boy came toward him from the kitchen. The smell of chicken and rice filled the air and it made the older Uchiha's stomach growl and his mouth water. Sasuke popped out of the kitchen with a smile on his cream colored face. Long black hair tied in a small pony tail on his lower neck swayed when he walked toward his older brother. Sasuke reached out and gently took the elders briefcase and hugged it to his apron clad chest. Sasuke's cute face was slightly flushed from the heat of the kitchen. The yellow apron he wore was tied tight around his waist with a small bow on his lower back, making his dark blue shirt stand out against white pants. Itachi smiled and ruffled his hair, making the younger giggle.

"Did you get my note on the table this morning?" the older asked, taking off his shoes and putting on his house slippers. Usually he drove Sasuke to school but work called him in very early today. He note was short notice and he hoped it wasn't a burden to his brother to cook extra. Sasuke nodded and gently set his briefcase down on the couch coffee table.

"About your friends coming over? Yes, I made enough dinner for all of us," he replied, smoothing down his apron. "It should be ready in a half hour at the latest." Itachi smirked and made his way to the kitchen. A pot of coffee greeted him from the breakfast island as he grabbed his cup from the cupboard.

"How was school, any homework?" he asked, pouring himself a large cup of the dark liquid. He heard Sasuke hum in his throat as he opened the door to the oven and check on the chicken.

"It was okay, could have been better I guess. There was a huge food fight in the lunch room so I hid in the library that period," he said, wiping the sweat from the heat of the oven off his forehead. Itachi turned to him and raised an eyebrow.

"Was it that trouble maker Naruto again?" he asked, leaning against the counter. He watched as Sasuke went over to the rice cooker and looked inside it.

"Well, I think it was mostly Kiba Inuzuka this time, Naruto actually warned me about the food fight around third period. I don't know why he started it; I think he was trying to hit the Hyuuga kid for not letting him go out with his cousin Hinata. I don't know much about those sorts of things. Why is high school so confusing?" Itachi chuckled around his hot cup and set it down. He walked over to Sasuke and let his arms fall over the boy's shoulders. Sasuke craned his neck to look up at the older boy in wonder.

"Sadly that is part of growing up. You get a crush and you get angry easily and there is a lot of confusion in your life at the time," Itachi replied, squeezing his brother a bit. Sasuke smiled at him and his cheeks turned a little pink. Sasuke lifted a hand and patted his older brother's arm that was wrapped around his shoulder.

"Nii-san is so smart," he said lightly, turning his face to the stove. Itachi tried to ignore the slight feeling of butterflies fluttering in his stomach at that remark. Sasuke usually always made him feel that way after he gave his brother a helpful piece of advice and praised him, but not like this. Itachi pulled away carefully and none too quickly to provoke suspicion and went to his cup of coffee.

"Nii-san?" Sasuke asked, turning toward him with a face of what appeared to be red, curious and little of embarrassment. Itachi blinked at him and felt tingly at the red that covered his little brother's face, he swallowed his excess saliva.

"Hm?" Sasuke seemed to fidget a bit and looked at the floor.

"Have you ever had a crush on someone?" he asked, turning his now fully pink face away. Itachi almost spit out the mouth full of coffee he had. He rubbed his cheek with a finger and coughed.

"Well…I…I...Sasuke..."

DING DONG! BAM BAM BAM!

"HELLO! WE'RE HERE!"

The brothers turned to the noise and Itachi sweat dropped. Sasuke giggled, fixing his wrinkled apron and pony tail.

"I'll get it!" Sasuke said, walking to the front door. Itachi felt sweat gather at the base of his hair line and as he continued to drink his coffee, slowly this time.

Of course I love Sasuke; he is my only precious younger brother. But lately it feels like I've come to feel more than just brotherly love towards him…

Itachi swept those thoughts under the rug and joined his brother at greeting the company at the front door. Sasuke put his hand on the door handle just as Itachi stood at the entry way door.

"Hi guys!" Sasuke greeted, opening the door and letting them in. Itachi smiled, turning around he took a seat on their large couch, crossing his legs.

"Hey what's up Itachi-chibi," Kisame asked, handing Sasuke a small basket with what looked like sweets inside. The big light blue skinned man smiled widely, showing sharp teeth, customarily done by his dentist, as for why, Sasuke had no clue. A simple pale yellow bandanna wrapped around his head, molding back his shiny spiky hair. Kisame was almost pushed into the wall and his eyes opened comically wide when someone behind him became impatient to come in.

"Oy, don't say that or Itachi will get mad. Besides, Sasuke is cuter on his own," Deidara scolded the blue skinned man. As the blond passed by, he reached out and pinched the younger boy's cheek lightly, finger nails painted their usual dark blue.

"He is so much more kawaii than Itachi," he teased, smiling widely. Sasuke blushed and closed his eyes at the pinch. Deidara oohed at the action and was about to pull the younger into a hug when someone else came through the door.

"Leave him alone and get inside, it's freezing out here dumb ass," Pein growled, pushing the blond forward and almost face first into the carpet. The blond bumped into Kisame and sent them both into the living room, swearing and pushing at one another. Pein walked in and put a small box of candy on top of Kisame's basket and ruffled the young boy's hair.

"Hello Sasuke, long time no see, school going okay?" he asked, smiling around his piercings. As usual he wore his dark red shirt with black slacks and lots of bracelets. Sasuke always wondered why Pein had so many piercings in his face alone, they must have hurt something awful when he smiled or had the pins put in. Sasuke smiled and thanked him. He was about to shut the door when a whirl wind of red came through and practically pounced Sasuke onto the floor.

"My little Sasu-chan, how have you been? Lonely without your Sasori-kun?" he practically gushed, squeezing the poor boy into the color blue. The basket that Sasuke had been holding fell to the floor. Luckily it fell facing up on the carpet, box of candy with it. Pein growled and snatched his brother Sasori by his ear and pulled him in to the living room. Deidara and Kisame were still fighting and tugging at each others hair and shirts, punching and slapping like girls.

"Enough you idiot. Let the boy breath for kami-sama's sake!" he scolded, pulling the red head with him. As Sasori was being pulled away, Itachi shot him an annoyed glare. He watched as the moron reached out for Sasuke as he was pulled, yelling this and that at Pein. Sasuke recovered and laughed slightly, picking up the basket and closing the front door.

"Where is Tobi-san?" he asked, walking back to the kitchen. Sasori was finally set down on to the couch as Pein gave him a warning look. He ignored the look and practically had his imaginary tail wagging as Sasuke walked by him and to the kitchen table a few feet away.

"I believe he had a dentist appointment," Itachi said, re-crossing his legs.

"Sasu-chan, let Sasori-kun set the table for you," he offered, jumping off the couch. Sasuke set down the basket and smiled at him.

"If you want to Sasori-san," he said. Sasori pouted at him.

"No, no, call me Sasori-kun!" he said, patting his chest.

"Umm…Uhh," the younger blushed, looking away.

"Sasori you dumb ass, just set the table!" Kisame yelled behind him, making the red head jump. Sasuke walked to the kitchen and disappeared behind it to the stove. Sasori grumbled but true to his word started setting the table for dinner.

"Since when does Tobi take care of his teeth?" Deidara asked, grabbing the TV remote.

"Since he rotted them out eating all that sugary crap you gave him at the Christmas party last year," Pein commented, snatching the remote. The blond hissed at him and fought to get the small device back. Sasori finished setting up the table and went to chase Sasuke into the kitchen. The small raven was humming and mixing something in a pot, his soft voice making the red head's insides dance. He grinned and quietly walked up behind the humming boy, licking his lips in excitement. He was about to grab the younger by the hips, fingers wiggling, when a tug on the back of his neck collar stopped him. Sasori choked and turned to meet the not so amused eyes of the oldest, Itachi Uchiha. Narrowed hard eyes burned through his very being as he was looked at.

"Get out, and keep your filthy molesting hands to yourself," he hissed, throwing the red head out the doorway. He landed with a hard thump outside the door and gave a strangled yelp of disappointment as he was being tossed. Sasuke turned around, hair swaying against his neck and confusion written all over his beautiful face.

"You say something nii-san?" he asked, continuing to mix the gravy pot. Itachi smiled at him and walked to the oven, bending over and looking into it.

"Umm...I asked if it was time to take the chicken out. Let Nii-san do it for you, it might be heavy and hot, okay?" he offered, clapping his hands. Sasuke stared at him with sparkling eyes for a moment before smiling and nodding, cheeks a bit pink.

"Oh, thank you nii-san, the chicken should be done in about five minutes," he said, happily turning back to the stove. Itachi have a large sigh of relief before entering the living room where everyone sat on the couch. He gave Sasori who was still sitting on the floor a triumphant smirk before joining the others on the large corner couch. Sasori grit his teeth and stood up, plopping down onto the couch next to his brother who greeted him with a kick to the thigh.

"Bastard!" he shouted, jumping at his sibling head first. They wrestled on the couch with hoots of encouragements from Kisame and a giddy Deidara, Itachi only watched as Sasori seemed to be struggling in a head lock. Sasuke came out about five minutes later and waved to his brother. Sasuke brought the rice cooker to the table as Itachi handled the large chicken pot with oven gloved hands.

"Dig in and eat!" Sasuke clapped as he started making rice bowls. Kisame being the blue skinned pig he was, almost had to be restrained when he pulled off a large leg. Everyone made a plate and sat, Sasori insisting he had to be seated next to Sasuke much to Itachi's distaste. The small raven didn't seem to mind and went to get drinks for everyone before he sat down.

"Thank you Sasuke!" everyone yelled, teasing the boy before they dug in. Sasuke blushed but nodded and started eating. Needless to say, not everyone was as neat eater like Sasuke. Kisame looked like he needed a bib, covered in gravy and chicken juice dribbling from his mouth. Deidara had rice all over his face and parts of his hair from holding the bowl so close to his face. Itachi had a gravy smudge on his collar from when he missed his fork because he was too busy watching what Sasori was doing to Sasuke. Only Pein seemed to be concentrating while he ate, swiftly bringing the fork to his mouth before biting and chewing. Sasori lifted up a fork which held a bit of chicken and held it up to Sasuke's face.

"Sasu-chan, open wide," he cooed. The raven blushed and gently tried to pull his head away. Itachi growled from across the table silently.

"Um, that's okay Sasori-san, I can do it myself," he said, trying to turn away. Sasori pouted and tried again, determined to feed his Sasu-chan.

"No Sasu-chan, call me Sasori-kun!" he whined. Sasuke could feel sweat gathering along his forehead and he opened his mouth to humor the red head who was delighted. Itachi growled again and bit sharply at his fork, making a small screech against his teeth.

"Dumb ass," Pein breathed softly under his breath. Deidara and Kisame heard him and started giggling slightly.

After dinner was done they all sat on the couch and laughed for a bit. Deidara was telling some dirty jokes he heard at work and Itachi was trying hard to block his little brother's ears. Sasori was sitting far too close for comfort to Sasuke for Itachi's liking. Kisame and Deidara wanted to pick on the red head a bit. Deidara grabbed the boy by the hips and plopped him on his lap. Kisame proceeded to tickle the boy, making him laugh uncontrollably. Sasori yelled at them that they were cutting off his air and yanked him back. Deidara started a game of go fish and everyone got into it.

When it was nearly close to nine o'clock, the eldest Uchiha looked at Sasuke. Itachi told Sasuke to go to bed, he would do the dishes. Sasuke reluctantly obeyed and stood up from a whining Sasori who started reaching for him. Kissing his brother's cheek and waving everyone a good night, he headed up the stairs and to his bedroom at the end of the hallway. When Sasori attempted to follow Sasuke up, Pein grabbed his ear and tugged him to the couch where he sat and pouted.

"Honestly, why do I even bring you over here?" Pein asked him, sitting down also on the couch. "All you do is pine after the poor boy." Sasori glared at his brother.

"What's wrong with me wanting to tuck him in? Itachi obviously isn't running to do it," he stated. Itachi growled but held his temper as not to scare Sasuke upstairs.

"He is sixteen and capable of putting himself to bed. I don't baby him from sunrise to sunset you know," Itachi mentioned, which he knew deep down was a lie. He loved to spoil Sasuke whether the boy was aware of it or not.

"Liar," Deidara smirked, raising his eyebrow.

"Whatever, get your mind out of the gutter and my brother and get the booze, we're playing betting cards. Sasuke made sure the guest bedrooms were ready for you guys, so don't make any more noise than necessary," he said, heading to the kitchen to retrieve the drinks stashed in the fridge. Deidara shuffled the cards and Kisame put a baseball game on the TV. Pein took out his small cigars and ash tray and lit the long brown stick, inhaling deeply. Sasori sat there and kept casting glances at the stairway to Sasuke's room.

If only these guys weren't here...

Sasori bit his lip but softly so no one would notice.

Sasuke...Uhh...

About two hours later, Kisame was smashed from the constant drinking and Deidara was winning hand by hand. They were betting beer bottle caps from their drinks; losers had to drink of course. Itachi didn't take in too much of a buzz; he had work tomorrow and wanted to be stable when he drove Sasuke to school. Kisame didn't have to work his shift at the magazine warehouse so he dived in. Deidara ran a home business, selling real-estate with his cousin Konan; he could afford to sleep in. Pein was smoking and drinking like a mob boss, poor man never got to party much when you worked as a bartender...Not.

Sasori worked on the side as a romance writer. No one was ever really able to guess how he got so creative with one of his main characters. In reality most likely, Sasori imagined himself with Sasuke for every book or scene he wrote. It explained why he was able to sell his stories and make an income for himself. His real job was working at a craft shop near the middle of town, designing wood products. Anything from furniture, instruments and puppets with his grandmother.

"I win again!" Deidara announced, fist in the air. The group groaned and Kisame smacked his hand on the table.

"Damn it, Zetsu should be here, he at least was able to tell when your blond ass was bluffing!" he huffed, taking a fist full of chips from a nearby bowl and shoving them in his large mouth. Itachi himself was sick of losing and threw his hand of cards onto the table with a hiss.

"Let's switch to rummy," he said, noticing that all the beer bottle tops were on Deidara's side anyway.

"Quitter," Pein chuckled, throwing his cards onto the table. Sasori said nothing and threw his cards down as well. Kisame looked at him and in his drunken state couldn't resist opening his big mouth.

"You're awfully quite party pooper, thinking of Itachi-chibi again?" he laughed, hiccupping. Sasori gave him a blush and a glare, burning reddish grey eyes that made Kisame smile crookedly and nervously.

Sasori is scary when he is pissed off...

Kisame laughed nervously and backed off, stuffing his face with more chips.

"Fine then, I'll just have to kick all you're drunken and buzzed asses, deal the cards, winner chooses a prize!" Sasori said, gathering the cards and shuffling.

"Ohh...I like the sound of that. What will we win?" the blond asked, rubbing his chin. Sasori raised his eyes and smirked.

"Anything they want and we all have to consent to it," he said, voice sounding really low and serious. Itachi grew suspicious and his spine tingled in warning. He casted protective eyes up the stairs before he returned them to Sasori.

"We'll see..." Itachi whispered. The game went on, Kisame and surprisingly, Deidara weren't doing so well this time. Itachi and Sasori constantly exchanged glances when their turns popped up. Pein watched as sweat gathered on his brother's temple, he saw Sasori really getting into the game. Pein though, only had a vague idea about what his intentions were and he had a feeling they revolved around a certain younger Uchiha. Pein rolled his eyes behind his cards.

Him and his silly crush. Sasuke is only sixteen and he is being chased unknowingly by a horny twenty three year old.

Pein sincerely hoped that his brother would come to his senses and see that Sasuke was too young and naive to accept what Sasori was all too willing to give. And god forbid Pein let his brother take more than necessary or even allowed from the younger. Itachi would kill Sasori in bloody murder and Pein himself for not preventing his only brother's actions.

Sasori put down another card and looked like he was burning holes through his hand. Before anyone could think further, Deidara gave out a 'whoop' and put all his cards down, leaving him empty handed.

"I win!" he yelled, pointing to Kisame. "And I want a famous shark skinned foot rub!" he announced, making Kisame weep and hit his head down onto the table they were playing at. Sasori visibly paled and Itachi smirked.

Haha...Loser.

Well, that was chapter 1, please review! I hope I at least get more then 10 reviews...
