Bully me, baby! Part 5.

This fanfic is adopted by me from 'hinatachan the itaxnaru luver'

I do not own Naruto, I already have too much story's lying around to work on...

Warnings: Sasunaru, Yaoi, Shounen-ai, language, lemon, masochism, sadism, violence, etc.
Enjoy!

Recap:

Nii-san is right. I shouldn't get depressed so easily… Sasuke thinks as he closes his eyes and waits for a, hopefully, calm sleep to take him over. But I guess I really know for sure now… I love him. And while I had him I had taken him for granted. Now that I have lost him I realize how much more he meant to me than just someone to try things out with… Naru… I really should have talked more with you… I should have spent more time with you… Sasuke rolls on his side to find a better sleeping position, sensing how the medicine starts to work. It might be too late… But I know now for sure that the idea of having to live without you hurts me too much. I want to talk to you. I want to see you smile. If that means I can only be your friend, then so be it. But I don't want to live without you being a part of my life. I will surely try from now on to get you back!

End recap.

Change comes with dessert heat

"Uzumaki Naruto, was it?" The second in command says as he looks over the application form to the nervously grinning blond across of him.

"Ehheh, yeah, that's me." Naruto replies nervously.

When Naruto had agreed to Suigetsu's offer, he had nor really realized what a big shot the Sharingan company was. In awe he had looked at the huge building and he felt small and out of his comfort zone compared to all the people in tight suits that walked around with an atmosphere of power.
Filling in this application form made it all so formal and to hear he had to go to an intake with someone as important as the second in command, only made Naruto feel so nervous he was trembling like a leaf.

"My name is Hatake Kakashi. You wrote in your application form that you wish to work here because you are creative and you want to put it to use for the people."

"Y-yes sir." Naruto replies and swallows. He can hardly sit still and the air feels as if it's midsummer in the desert. Naruto hopes that he doesn't look as awful as he feels though.

"Can you be a bit more specific? You are aware of what this company does right?" Kakashi continues, folding his hands as he rests with his elbows on the table.

"Yes, sir. I… I want to put my creative talent to good use for the greater good. I… Uhm… That is- I know I'll have to comply to the wishes of the client and I will look forward t-to working together with other departments a-as well as my colleagues of course... Ghehe." Naruto grins as he silently thanks Suigetsu, for the tips he'd given him, as well as himself for the research he had done on this company.

"Hnnnn…"

A silence falls after that. Kakashi just staring at the boy and Naruto doesn't know whether the man sees right through him, peers in the deepest of his soul or is just somewhere else with his thoughts. Is it just me or has the desert here turned another hundred degrees warmer? Naruto thinks as he nervously shifts his position in his chair. Should I say something? Did I say something wrong or not enough? Naruto opens his mouth to say something, but then a thought came to him that made him close it with a snap, glad that his tongue wasn't between his teeth for cleaning that mess up would not really have been a good first impression. What if this is a test? Naruto thinks. To see whether I can withstand the stress? B-but what if I'm wrong? Sweat tickles on the blondes forehead like morning dew on leaves. He shifts again, holds his hands, put them under his legs, then on the sides of his chair. He has two feet on the ground but the voice says; You look to confident that way! Then one leg over the other. Do you want them to know from the beginning your gay?! You'll never even get a chance! He sits on the edge of the chair with his legs crossed beneath him. You really want to look as nervous as you feel? He will think you'd want to flee and run away as soon as you can, baka! Sitting with his back against the chair back, legs stretched in front of him. He'll think you're lazy and not caring whether you get this job or not, no way he'll give you a chance like that! Naruto sits straight up again and takes a deep breath while he closes his eyes. Stupid, stupid voice! You're just the devil on my shoulder and I sure as hell won't listen to you! Naruto thinks. Though I'd sure wish an angel would come to my rescue here… And why do I feel like that angel would somehow look a whole lot like a certain raven haired guy I know? Naruto shakes his head, trying to get his mind of a sexy angel Sasuke.

Naruto is startled as the man in front of him suddenly clears his throat and when he looks up he sees Kakashi sigh, which makes him fear the worst, and then the man leans back in his chair to sit somewhat more comfortable.

"Very well then." Kakashi says while opening a drawer and taking out a thin map. "You'll start this trial for two months. In this envelope you'll have the basics of this building, where you are and aren't allowed to go, a map, cards and keys to open some doors, passwords to your own account and so on. I also added your first assignment in there. There will be quite some pressure, but I have no doubt you can take that, am I right?" The man with the eyepatch smiles at Naruto who nervously thanks him as he takes the map.

"T-thank you very much, s-sir!" Naruto says as he stands up and as he walks away he hopes that the big boss behind him doesn't see that his stumbling legs feel like jelly.

"This is it." Naruto says as he looks from the map to the door in front of him. He takes a deep sigh, steadies himself to look cool and calm, the complete opposite of how he feels, and opens the door.

"Ah! Look who he's here!" Sounds the voice of Suigetsu and Naruto instantly feels somewhat more at ease. "It seems you made it through the intake huh?" Suigetsu says while swinging an arm around Naruto's neck and playfully knuckling him on the head.

"Ag- haha, yeah." Naruto replays and Suigetsu lets him go. "Though I think I did lose some years of my life there. Did my hair turn gray?" Naruto jokes while trying to look at his short, spiky, yellow hair.

"We've got enough paint to make that happen." Suigetus jokes. "Though you're lucky. You got the new guy, the 'second In command'. Trust me, you wouldn't be standing right now if it were Itachi who'd test your pressure resistance."

"Is he really that frightening?" Naruto asks while scratching the back of his head.

"Oh you bet. Ah this is Jugo by the way." Suigetsu says as he waves his hand towards the orange haired guy behind the computer and Naruto and Jugo greet each other shortly before Suigetsu continues. "The Uchiha's are famous for their death glare. The younger one, Sasuke, works here with us. He hasn't come in today though. He was the one I talked about when we first met."

"Ah I see." Naruto replies as he takes a computer next to Suigetsu, leaving the one next to him free for if Sasuke were to show up. I didn't see him on school today either… I wonder if he's doing okay…

The rest of the day Suigetsu helps Naruto out to get to know his new working space. Naruto keeps hoping that Sasuke would show up, but there was no sign of him.

Sasuke sighs in contentment as he stretches his still sleepy muscles. When he looks around and sees that it is already past half one, he wipes his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong. But the time still says what it says and the next thought that hits him is his clock standing still. When he is about to walk towards it he hears a knock on his door and he gives permission to enter.

"Ah, I see you're awake." Itachi says smiling. "Put on your clothes and come down stairs for lu- ah that is for you a brunch of course."

"Itachi wait." Sasuke says while stepping towards his brother. "Have I slept that long? What about school? Sharing-"

"Don't worry about it. I already contacted school and the company can work perfectly fine for a day without us Uchiha's there. I figured you needed the rest, and to be honest so did I." Itachi replies and turns to walk to the kitchen again. "Hurry up little brother or it will be cold."

Sasuke smiles softly and does as his brother says. During brunch, most of it Sasuke's favorites, they talked about casual subjects. After that they go to an art exhibition called 'Sans Sousi' and they eat out at an restaurant. Sasuke enjoys every moment of it and, though he sometimes can't prevent it, can keep the painful thoughts about his dobe at bay. At evening the Uchiha brothers sit in front of the fireplace both with a glass Champaign and some small salty snacks on table. It has been silent for a while as both stare into the fire.

"Say, Nii-san…" Sasuke says not looking away from the fire. "You're not bribing me or something right?" Sasuke smirks at his brother who shakes his head.

"I wouldn't see it like that." Itachi says, but he has a somber look in his eyes. "I know I neglected you. And I want to make up for that."

"There is nothing you need to make up for." Sasuke says kindly. "Stop blaming yourself for everything, Nii-san. I am old enough to deal with my own problems and I know that I can always come to you whenever I need advice or something."

"True enough." Itachi smiles and closes his eyes. "Sometimes I forget that you're no longer my cute little baby brother."

"You seriously sound like an old man." Sasuke smirks and Itachi gives him his death glare, but soon smiles to.

"Alright fine. I guess today was not only for wanting to make things up to you. I really just wanted a day like the old days. When our parents were still alive…" A short silence falls at that.

"But there is more isn't there…" It was not a question. "Where to? How long?"

"One week." Itachi replies, avoiding Sasuke's eyes.

"Where to..?" Sasuke says threatening, feeling dread for the answer he might get. Itachi sighs.

"They have rebuild our company and it is flourishing quickly. They are talking about negotiating with one of the concurrent companies there and that, and other reasons, Is why I need to be there in person." Itachi looks at Sasuke. "I need to go to Japan for work, Sasuke."

To be continued…

Tuntuntuuunnn...

Heya dear SasuNaru fans!

I know, I know it has been a reaaaaly long time since I updated this story. Two reasons for that. 1. school, which is now finished for the time being "Long live the summer!" 2. The lack of inspiration. At some point I even thought I would throw it all around and make a homophobic war break out where every gay person would be put in camps etc. But then I thought some more about the story I had planned and how to fill up the gaps, and suddenly one page after the other flowed out of my typing hands! "It's a miracle!"

And maybe there is a third one. I got two adorable little kittens to take care of now! One is black with white paws, one a little more white than the others, and white on her belly. The other is white with one big black spot on her head. They are increadably adorable and so cute that it sometimes is killing me! "Aaahhhwwww"
But they also cause a lot of trouble and take quite some time to take care of.

Enfin. Next part I have already typed out. It will be shorter chapters now. Please please please, tell me what you think. You don't have to pay to read these stories so the least you can do is put a nice comment on a chapter that the writer has worked really hard to put it out there for you guys toread!

Tell me what you think Sasuke's reaction will be. Or how he will react when he hears Naruto is now working with him as a part of the advertisement department of Sharingan.

Thank you soooo much for sticking with me despite my slow updates!
