Itachi sat patiently, waiting for the hug between the two of them to end. When it seemed like neither of them were going to pull apart, Itachi cleared his throat loudly.
Naruto jumped, almost forgetting Itachi was even in the room. He took a step back from Sasuke, who let out a disappointed sigh. The blonde laughed sheepishly. "So, uh, where were we?"
"You were going to tell us what your grandparents said to you." Itachi provided helpfully.
"Oh," Naruto's smile turned into a frown as his arm dropped lifelessly to his side. "Right." He sat dejectedly on Itachi's bed and Sasuke sat next to him, placing his hand comfortingly on Naruto's thigh.
Itachi glared at the hand before realizing exactly what he was doing and mentally reprimanding himself. He shook his head before giving his full attention to the blonde. "That bad, huh?"
Naruto nodded.
"What'd they say?" Sasuke asked, beginning to lightly trace a circle on Naruto's leg.
Naruto watched Sasuke's hand before letting out a shaky breath. He looked up at Itachi who gave him a reassuring smile. He smiled back at him, the interaction not going unnoticed by Sasuke. "Well, they said if I keep the baby, they're going to kick me out."
Sasuke's annoyed glare at his older brother turned into a look of surprise as he quickly turned his head to look at the blonde. "What?"
Naruto gave a worried glance to Sasuke before looking back to Itachi.
"They really said that?" Itachi gave him a look of disbelief. He knew Jiraiya and Tsunade almost as long as he knew the blonde. They were nice, albeit quirky, but the idea that they'd kick out their grandchild with their great-grandchild seemed out of their character.
Naruto could only give a slow nod. Itachi slumped in his chair, unsure of what to say next. Naruto turned back to Sasuke, tears threatening to fall. "Now do you still want to have a child with me?"
Sasuke furrowed his eyebrows. "Surely we can think of something to fix this." He desperately looked for help at his older brother.
Itachi was in deep thought, the gears turning fast in his head on a solution.
Naruto let out a defeated sigh. "It's okay, Sasuke. It doesn't have to be your prob-"
"I got it." Itachi let out a laugh. "The solution was actually quite simple really."
Both Naruto and Sasuke looked to him expectantly, waiting for him to explain himself.
Itachi raised an eyebrow. "You haven't realized?"
"No." Naruto quickly answered. "So please explain it to me."
"Just live here."
Naruto was taken aback and he blinked repeatedly. Sasuke scrunched up his nose.
"What about mom and dad?"
"You'll explain the situation to them, and-"
"No." Sasuke quickly interrupted.
"No?" Itachi gave his brother a questioning look. "What do you mean 'no'?"
"I mean no, as is in I'm not going to do that." Sasuke crossed his arms over his chest and glared at Itachi.
"Why not?" Naruto questioned.
"Our parents don't need to be involved in this situation." Sasuke turned his glare to Naruto.
Naruto let out a sharp laugh. "Are you serious right now?"
Itachi narrowed his eyes at him. "Yeah, Sasuke. You can't be telling me that you thought you'd be able to get away with not telling mom and dad."
Sasuke shrugged. "They're hardly in our lives anyways. Naruto could still live here, he'd just have to be quiet and stay hidden when they're around."
Itachi and Naruto stared at Sasuke before Naruto glared dangerously at the younger raven. "And tell me, Sasuke," he hissed out his name like fire, causing both Uchiha's to flinch at the anger that was thrown behind his name. "How the fuck are you going to be able to hide a new born baby?!" He shouted, panting at the end of his sentence.
Sasuke stayed silent, unable to answer.
"Foolish little brother." Itachi shook his head. Sasuke turned to glare at him. "As I was saying, you'll explain to mom and dad the situation. Naruto should be there too, and as soon as you tell them, Naruto, you tell them what your grandparents said to you. That will definitely tug at mom's heartstrings."
"But what about your dad?" Naruto knew their mom. Mikoto would easily accept the blonde into her home, no matter what type of situation he was in. She loved Naruto as much as she loved her sons, and Naruto could swear sometimes even more than them. But their father, Fugaku, was a whole other story.
He was a strict man and barely tolerated the blonde coming over. And when Sasuke announced the two were dating, it seemed like Fugaku wanted even less to do with the blonde.
Itachi let out a frustrated sigh as he rubbed the back of his neck. "That may be a little tricky. Maybe if we could get to mom first, we could use her as an advantage, have her butter him up and put him in a good mood."
A knock on their door interrupted any further conversation as the three of them jumped at the sound. Itachi and Sasuke gave each other confused looks before Itachi addressed the knocker. "Come in."
The door opened to reveal Mikoto, smiling brightly at them and Fugaku behind her, a slight frown on his face. "There you guys are! I was looking everywhere for you. Hello, Naruto."
"Hi, Mrs. Uchiha." Naruto greeted nervously.
"Why were you looking for us?" Itachi asked, trying not to sound too suspicious.
"Naruto's grandparents called." Fugaku spoke up.
The three of them went rigid. Did this mean that they already knew the situation?
Mikoto eyed their' strange behavior but chose to ignore it. "And while I was looking for you, I couldn't have helped but to overhear your plan."
Naruto resisted the urge to flee, instead, beginning to bounce his leg up and down, hoping to calm his nervous energy.
Mikoto's eyes narrowed in a glare and she placed her hands on her hips. "What's going on?"
"N-nothing!" Sasuke quickly blurted out.
Itachi rolled his eyes and shook his head. The two were just going to dig themselves into a deep hole if he didn't stop them. "Mom, dad, Sasuke and Naruto have something to tell you."
Both Naruto and Sasuke turned to glare at him. Itachi gave them a stern look.
"I'm waiting." Mikoto's glare softened as she gave her attention to the two young males.
"You may want to sit." Itachi quickly stood up and offered his seat to his mom. Mikoto reluctantly walked over and sat. Fugaku stepped closer into the room, standing next to Itachi with his arms crossed over his chest.
Naruto reached out for Sasuke's hand, grabbing it tightly. Sasuke gave him a reassuring squeeze, causing the blonde to relax slightly.
"It's okay," Mikoto gave them a smile, trying to make them feel more relaxed. "You can tell me."
Naruto let out a shaky breath and opened his mouth, only for Sasuke to stop him. "I got Naruto pregnant." The younger raven admitted.
Mikoto's smile fell and she leaned back in her seat.
Fugaku's eyes widened slightly but otherwise, had no reaction.
"A-and my grandparents said that if we, or I, decide to keep the baby, they'll kick me out."
"And we've decided to keep the baby." Sasuke gripped Naruto's hand tighter as he gave his parents determined looks.
The room was filled with silence and Sasuke's confidence slowly melted away. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all. The self-doubt began to creep into his mind.
"No Uchiha will be homeless." Fugaku spoke up. The four other occupants gave him shocked looks. Was he saying? "If you guys are serious about keeping this child, Naruto, you and the baby will stay here until you are able to make it on your own."
"Really?" Naruto questioned, shocked that Fugaku could be so kind.
Mikoto nodded her head. "Of course. Naruto, you're practically family anyways, we want to make sure you're okay." She stood up and walked over to them. "Though, I'm not condoning this, nor am I too happy that you two are even in this situation when you're just entering high school." She sighed. "But what's done is done and I want my grandbaby to be happy and well-taken care of."
"Thank you, mom, dad. This means a lot to me." Sasuke gave them both appreciative looks and stood up to give Mikoto a loving hug.
"It should." Fugaku said before walking out of the room. Mikoto lightly placed a kiss on all three of their foreheads before following after her husband.
The air in the room returned to a calm state and Itachi smirked at the couple. "See? That went a lot smoother than even I planned."
"Thank you Itachi" Naruto gave him a large grin before throwing himself onto the older Uchiha.
Sasuke let out a growl. He shook his head as he tried to push the jealous feeling away. "Yeah, thank you." He managed to grumble out.
The envy was still inching its way as Sasuke watched as the hug went on longer than he wanted it too.
