A/N: So I have a lot to respond to.

Guest: Hello, I don't know if it's late or something, but your review is not appearing on here, but I saw it in my email. I'm responding to it anyways so everyone knows. I am not trying to, as you put it, guilt trip anyone who has ever thought of suicide. It being selfish is Itachi's feelings because of the pain he would have put Sasuke through. He realized how irrational he was being from assuming things that weren't true. He read things wrong and he wasn't able to think correctly.

But saying there is a solution, all I wanted to do was put positivity in there. To give a thought to those who read, "maybe there is an answer". I KNOW the hardships of those feelings. I've KNOWN people who were lost to suicide. I know it's extremely hard. I know that it is not easy. But what I do believe is that we need to think that we CAN rather than we can't. That is the reason for me adding that "there is always a solution". But I know it's not as easy as it sounds. I am not trying to mock anyone. I would never do that, so don't think I put that in there to sit there and to mock others lightly like that.

SaikaMasaomi: I'm glad I saved you from potential boredum from your flight hahah. I hate planes so much. I can barely handle one hour of plane travel, so I have no idea how you survived twenty hours of it. But thank you for sharing that, it made me smile. And don't worry about Kyuubi and Itachi, I have plans for them in the future.

Guest: I'm glad you are enjoying it now! I'm glad your curiosity lead you to reading the whole thing haha.

Anyways, for everyone else, I'm glad you enjoy it. Always nice to see new readers. And I agree that Sasuke and his balloon was really cute (even though I wrote it). But I really hope you all don't get put off by this chapter.

Spoiler, but this is a NaruSasu fic, I know. But I did add one scene of SasuNaru towards the end. Why? You'll find out, but it's for a good reason! Their personalities don't change, so I hope you all don't hate it or anything.

But anyways thank you all. Sorry for the long author's note, but I hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything.

Sasuke went the whole day with the balloon attached to his tail. He felt better when he was given fish for dinner. He was still a little shaken from the incident, but he was given a lot of love from both Naruto and Itachi. He felt better when he was given fish for dinner. He happily ate at the fish, but he was still hungry. He searched around the kitchen, looking around to see what there was to eat.

"You still hungry?" Naruto asked from the dinner table.

Sasuke nodded as he idly searched around.

"Do you want some fruits then?"

Sasuke's face lit up and he nodded, so Naruto got up to cut up some fruit for him.

Sasuke was satisfied after eating the fruit. He hopped up, picking up his plate to put it in the sink. All the while, the balloon was trailing behind him. Sasuke really liked the balloon, so he left it on his tail.

When it was time for bed, he came to Naruto's room after saying goodnight to Itachi.

"You ready to go to bed?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke nodded and yawned. He slipped under the covers, waiting for Naruto to come as well.

"You're going to sleep with your balloon?" Naruto questioned. "Let me take it off."

Sasuke shook his head and pouted. He moved his tail away from Naruto so he couldn't get to it. It hanged off the bed, making the balloon float to the side.

"Fine fine." Naruto mumbled as he laid next to Sasuke. "Come here at least." Naruto patted the empty space next to him.

Sasuke scooted himself over to Naruto's side.

"You know, you really scared me today. Why did you put yourself in danger like that?"

Sasuke looked down, fidgeting with his fingers.

"I was scared." Sasuke lightly whispered.

"Scared? What're you scared of? You should've been scared leaning off the railing like that." Naruto raised his eyebrow.

Sasuke continued to play with his fingers.

"I thought you were going to yell at me." Sasuke said in a small voice.

Naruto was happy Sasuke was talking to him, but yell at him?

"What would I yell at you for? For letting go of the balloon?" Naruto almost joked, hoping it wasn't true.

But sadly, Sasuke nodded.

"Sasuke..I would never yell at you for doing something like that." Naruto kissed Sasuke's cheek.

"I know I said not to let go of it, but I won't be mad at something so small. Okay?" Naruto moved Sasuke's bangs and touched the side of his face.

Sasuke nodded and cuddled up against Naruto's chest. He hugged Naruto tightly.

"I love you." Sasuke whispered into Naruto's chest.

"I love you too Sasuke." Naruto smiled. "Now go to sleep."

Naruto started to pet Sasuke hair and rubbing his ears. Sasuke relaxed under the touch. He purred faintly before quickly falling asleep.

The next day Naruto left early for work as usual, leaving Sasuke in bed still sleeping. Itachi was still made to sleep with Kyuubi at night. It was early noon when Itachi was able to see Sasuke.

"Sasuke, are you still sleeping?" Itachi knocked on the door simply due to habit.

He opened the door and saw Sasuke sprawled out on the bed with the balloon still attached to his tail. He went over to Sasuke and shook his gently.

"Sasuke, wake up." Itachi really wanted to start training Sasuke and his sharingan.

Sasuke made a face of discomfort. He gave a soft mewl before rolling over, his back facing Itachi.

"I'm going to untie your balloon from your tail if you don't wake up."

Sasuke's ears twitched before he sat up, eyes still closed. He mumbled a couple incoherent words before opening his eyes.

"Good morning otouto." Itachi smiled. "Don't sleep so much. You already take enough naps."

Sasuke made a noise and laid back down.

"Sasuke, don't be so lazy. You can sleep later, and we need to eat breakfast."

Sasuke made a "hmph" noise before throwing the blanket off of him. He got off the bed and dragged his feet out the door.

Itachi followed shortly behind.

After they ate breakfast, Sasuke was more awake. He smiled at Itachi and whispered a good morning to him.

"Good morning otouto, you're finally awake?"

Sasuke nodded.

"Good, because starting today, I'm going to teach you how to use your sharingan." Itachi was already excited. He never thought that Sasuke would ever obtain it.

"I already asked Kurama if we could be outside, and he said it was okay. So let's go." Itachi grabbed Sasuke's hand and lead out the back door.

Sasuke had no idea what Itachi was going to teach him, or what they were going to do.

"Come here otouto." Itachi beckoned Sasuke with the wave of his hand.

Sasuke padded through the grass to Itachi, but he was poked on the forehead by him.

"Hng!" Sasuke covered his forehead as he recoiled back.

"That's for this morning." Itachi smiled.

Sasuke continued to touch his forehead. It's been so long since he felt that certain touch. His ears fell slightly.

"Sasuke?" Itachi picked up on Sasuke sudden mood switch. "Did I hurt you?"

Sasuke quickly shook his head. He walked up to Itachi and hugged him tightly.

"It's been awhile hasn't it." Itachi hugged Sasuke back.

Sasuke nodded into Itachi's shoulder.

"I love you aniki." Sasuke softly said.

"I love you too Sasuke." Itachi smiled.

They broke away from each and Itachi started talking about the sharingan as they sat on the grass together.

"Sasuke, you're not supposed to have the sharingan, and because you're not a natural born hunter, you still won't have that same strength or agility. But since you do have it, I think it will improve on it."

Sasuke nodded. He spent most of his days indoors lazing around the house, so he didn't have much experience with exercise or anything of the like. Sasuke was quick, but he would never surpass Itachi's speed since he was more of a house cat.

Itachi on the other hand, when he was out on hunting trips with his old masters, he spent a lot of his time outside. But it wasn't quite the same. He would be caged until he was made to go out. He still felt caged when he was outside hunting animals. He didn't get to relax or admire the nature around him.

It was in Naruto's backyard where he considered being outside. He was able to enjoy the calm breezes and the cool air. He could see the clouds and the sky. And more importantly, he was able to spend the time with Sasuke.

It all felt so odd. Just not too long ago he was separated from his brother, but now here they are, enjoying the luxuries of being outside.

Itachi continued to talk to Sasuke about the sharingan.

"Sasuke, could you feel the sharingan activate? There's a small feeling in your eye when it activates. Did you feel it?"

Sasuke nodded.

"Do you think you could activate it if I said to?"

Itachi laughed when he saw Sasuke make a series of face trying to, what he assumed, activate it.

"It's okay otouto. It may take a while for it come up again. But you need to be careful when it does since it may activate on your emotions again. Don't put yourself in any danger okay?" Itachi was a little worried that Sasuke would do something reckless simply from the curiosity to see if the sharingan would activate.

"Promise me you won't do anything that could harm you so you can activate it." Itachi said sternly.

Sasuke nodded and held out his pinky.

"Good." Itachi smiled as he linked pinkies with Sasuke and stamped their thumbs to seal the promise.

"A way to activate your sharingan again is working your body to the limit." Itachi knew it wouldn't be hard to get Sasuke exhausted.

"Let's go running shall we?"

Sasuke violently shook his head. He did not want to run.

"Let's go otouto." Itachi took Sasuke's hand and started to jog.

Itachi refused to let go of Sasuke's hand as he dragged his little brother around the huge perimeter of the back yard.

Sasuke had a hard time keeping up, but the constant pulling from Itachi made him run regardless. He quickly ran out of breath as he continued to run. Their pace quickened and Sasuke started panicking. His limbs were already tired and getting sore. He could feel his body wanting to give up. He tried pulling against Itachi, but Itachi was much stronger than him.

"Ah!" Sasuke felt something off from his tail. He pulled against Itachi as hard as he could.

He ended up falling to the ground, but he saw his balloon fly up into the sky. He was panting hard, but he felt tears sting his eyes. He felt so upset.

I guess today won't be the day. Itachi internally sighed.

He went over to Sasuke and picked him up.

"I'm sorry Sasuke." Itachi said as he patted his crying brother's back.

He carried Sasuke back inside and placed him on the couch. He tried calming his brother, but Sasuke was still upset over his balloon. His body ached he was exhausted. It was only morning and he wanted sleep.

Itachi thought that this wasn't the best idea to do. He felt bad for pushing Sasuke too much. He left Sasuke on the couch and went to look for Kyuubi.

He went downstairs and found Kyuubi back asleep in his bed. He gently woke him up.

"What is it." Kyuubi mumbled.

"I need you to call master." Itachi said urgently.

"Why?" Kyuubi mumbled.

"Sasuke lost his balloon, and I want to ask if he could get another one for Sasuke."

"It's just a balloon." Kyuubi mumbled as he turned his back to Itachi.

"It's not just a balloon! Sasuke really liked it!" Itachi yelled impatiently.

"Did you just raise your voice at me?"

Itachi's ears fell as he realized what he did.

"I-I'm sorry.." Itachi stuttered.

Kyuubi turned to Itachi fully awake.

"Don't worry yourself so much." Kyuubi said as he patted Itachi's head.

Kyuubi reached over passed Itachi and grabbed the telephone on the table nearby. He dialed the number to Naruto's work and handed it to Itachi.

"Hello?" Itachi heard the other line say.

"Master?" Itachi asked.

"Is this you Itachi? What do you need?"

"I took Sasuke outside and while we were running, he lost his balloon outside. Is there anyway for you to get another for him..? I feel terrible for putting him through that."

"Sure Itachi. I'll get him another one. Is he okay?"

"He's sleeping again. I think he might be mad at me..but I don't think he's going to wake up anytime soon."

"Did he cry?"

"Yeah.."

"Damn." Naruto muttered.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry Itachi. Just make sure Sasuke is okay. I have to get back to work now, so I'll see you later. Tell Sasuke I love him."

"I will, thank you master. Goodbye."

"Bye Itachi"

Then the line went dead.

"Thank you." Itachi said to Kyuubi as he placed the phone back.

"Sure. Need anything else?"

Itachi shook his head.

"I'm going to go back upstairs."

"Okay." Kyuubi waved his hand as if shooing Itachi away.

Itachi went back and found Sasuke fast asleep on the couch. He noticed there were still wet tears dripping from his eyes, so he wiped them away.

Sasuke stirred from his sleep and opened his eyes slowly.

"Sasuke?"

Sasuke looked up with tired eyes in response.

Itachi sat down next to him.

"I'm really sorry for pushing you too hard. I just got too excited knowing that you obtained your sharingan. And I'm really sorry about your balloon."

Sasuke grunted and looked away.

"I'm sorry Sasuke."

Sasuke still didn't look at Itachi.

"Oh, and master said he loves you."

Sasuke's ears perked and he looked at Itachi with a questioning look.

"I talked to him on the phone earlier. He's busy though."

Sasuke's ears fell and he went back to pouting.

"Sasuke please forgive me." Itachi felt his chest start to hurt.

It was hard for Sasuke to stay mad at Itachi. He hugged Itachi and forgave him.

Itachi gave a sigh of relief when Sasuke hugged him. He hugged him back tightly.

"Go back to sleep Sasuke." Itachi touched Sasuke's hair.

Sasuke nodded and closed his eyes to go back to sleep.

Sasuke ended up sleeping for several hours. He woke up a couple times to use the bathroom but that was it. He was up waiting for Naruto's return.

Itachi had busied himself by helping around the house doing chores.

Sasuke waited by the window for Naruto to come back home. He perked up when he saw that carriage come to view.

Naruto came home early!

He got up, but he forgot the state his body was in. He tripped, falling flat on his face. He whimpered in pain, but he heard the door open. He forgot his pain as he quickly got up to see Naruto.

What Sasuke didn't expect was to see Naruto covered by a ton of balloons. Sasuke gasped at the sight of so many balloons of shape and sizes.

"Hello Sasuke. I heard someone lost their balloon today." Naruto moved to the side so he could see Sasuke.

Naruto handed Sasuke the plastic ring where all the balloons were tied to. Balloons were inexpensive, so he was able to buy them out of pocket without his father really knowing.

"Th-thank you." Sasuke glowed with happiness.

"You're welcome Sasuke. You know it was Itachi who called and told me you lost your balloon. He felt really bad you know."

Sasuke's ears fell when he heard that. He nodded and quickly scampered off to find Itachi and when he did, he showed him the bunch of balloons he got. He then untied one and gave it to Itachi.

"Thank you otouto." Itachi smiled. He was happy to see that Sasuke got more balloons.

Sasuke beamed a smile and went back to Naruto.

"I heard you ran today?" Naruto wrapped his arm around Sasuke's shoulders.

Sasuke nodded.

"Itachi said you don't like it, but I think you do need to move around more."

Sasuke pouted and looked away.

"It's not that bad. Your brother's just trying to help you, that's all."

Naruto kissed Sasuke's cheek when he continued to pout. He sweeped Sasuke off from his feet, which startled the kit.

"I'll massage you okay?" Naruto carried Sasuke upstairs to his room.

Upstairs, Naruto plopped Sasuke onto the bed. He took Sasuke's balloon and placed them on the floor as they were grounded from the plastic ring. He made Sasuke lie on his stomach and he started to massage Sasuke's legs, thinking those were the most sore.

Sasuke sighed in contentment. He's never really gotten a massage before, so he never knew it felt so good.

Naruto heard Sasuke give out soft mewls, making him smile.

"Feel good?" Naruto asked, still massaging him.

Sasuke nodded and sat up. He grabbed Naruto's shirt collar and brought him to a kiss.

Naruto was surprised, but he kissed him back.

"You're becoming more bold." Naruto chuckled. "I'm glad."

Sasuke then started to touch Naruto's chest.

"Hm?" Naruto was wondering what he was up to.

Sasuke suddenly lifted Naruto's shirt, revealing Naruto's tanned chest. Sasuke started to touch the muscles on Naruto's body.

"Whoa." Naruto mumbled, not expecting that at all.

But then Sasuke lifted his own shirt to reveal his lean body. He didn't have muscles like Naruto. He felt a little disappointed.

Naruto couldn't help but laugh.

"You know, you could have muscles if you exercise and work out." He patted Sasuke's head.

Sasuke continued to touch the muscles on Naruto's chest, ignoring what he was saying. He liked feeling it and seeing the toned body in general. It just piqued his interest.

Naruto sat there wondering if Sasuke was aware of what he was doing. It was basically the same thing as being groped. To be honest, it slightly turned him on.

"Hey Sasuke, have you ever thought what it'd be like if we switched positions." Naruto breathed out.

Sasuke cocked his head in confusion.

"Sex, I mean for sex." Naruto forgot Sasuke didn't know much about sex in general. "I know we've only done it twice..kinda. But you know how I'm usually the one..to enter?" Naruto felt a little embarrassed talking about it so frankly to Sasuke.

Sasuke started to blush but nodded.

"Did you ever think of putting it in me..?" Naruto now wondered if it was an odd thing to ask.

Sasuke continued to blush and shook his head. He never thought of doing it to him since Naruto was the one to initiate.

"Why don't we try..?" Naruto hesitated. "I would want you to have the same experience as me at least once. It's only fair, don't you think?"

Sasuke didn't know how to react or respond. Instead, he just blushed.

"Tonight." Naruto said.

Sasuke blushed wildly and dumbly nodded.

Sasuke went the rest of the day thinking about their planned sex. He couldn't stop thinking about it. The other times they did it, it wasn't really planned.

Sasuke ate his dinner extremely quietly. It was almost time for bed.

Naruto also ate his food a little quietly as well. He wasn't really sure what he just put himself up to.

When it was time to go to sleep, Itachi asked Sasuke if he was ready for bed. Sasuke then realized that it was Itachi's turn to sleep with him. He had forgotten about it, and he didn't really want to turn Naruto down.

He appeared in Itachi's room blushing.

"What's wrong otouto?"

Sasuke hesitated before speaking.

"C..can I sleep in Naruto's room." He continued to blush.

Itachi noticed the deep blush that appeared on Sasuke's face. He then realized they were probably going to do it. There wouldn't be anyone reason since Sasuke enjoyed taking turns sleeping with Naruto and Itachi. He did stop them last time, so he felt he kind of owed them.

"Go ahead otouto. Then that means I get to sleep with you twice right?" Itachi slightly grinned.

Sasuke gave a quiet "okay".

"Goodnight Sasuke." Itachi smiled.

"Goodnight." Sasuke said quietly before rushing out of the room.

Sasuke padded to Naruto's room and saw Naruto putting on a plain white shirt with just his boxers on.

"Ah, hello Sasuke." Naruto smiled a little nervously.

Sasuke nodded in response. It was a really awkward atmosphere.

"Uhm..I don't really expect you to know how to uhm..do it. So I'll still take the lead." Naruto started heading towards the bed.

Sasuke followed shortly after.

"Lie here Sasuke." Naruto made space to show where he meant. "I'll do the work, so just focus on the feeling."

Sasuke did as he was told and laid down on the bed.

Naruto slowly slid Sasuke's briefs down to reveal the flaccid member. He didn't give anytime for Sasuke to prepare his mind as he took his member into his mouth and started to suck.

Sasuke gave a soft moan, but he had a worried look on his face.

"D..dirty.."

"Iths ohkay." Naruto mumbled with his mouth full.

He continued to lick and tease Sasuke with his mouth. He decided to slow down a little since he felt he was going a little too fast. He felt Sasuke get hard in his mouth. He started to touch his balls gently to give him even more pleasure. He never gave head before, nor did he think he would, but he tried. It wasn't too bad though. He was obviously not experienced in it, but Sasuke too wasn't experienced, so it balanced out.

When Sasuke was hard, Naruto hesitated. Is he really going to go through this? He never thought of doing it like this, ever. He started to take his boxers off, and to his surprise he was erect. He didn't even know when he became hard, but he was. He decided to leave his shirt on due to his own embarrassment.

Just from going through his own thoughts, he could now see Sasuke's point of view. He decided he would go through it. He knew Sasuke would feel good, and he wanted to know how Sasuke felt for the future.

"Well..are you ready..?" Naruto nervously asked.

Sasuke was already panting from all the teasing, but he nodded. He was blushing like mad. He never thought something like this would happen. So many thoughts were rushing through his brain.

Naruto mentally prepared himself. He expected no foreplay from Sasuke, and he was fine with it. He grabbed the lotion they used before and poured some on Sasuke's member. He didn't feel like preparing himself. He was just too embarrassed to do it. Already, he gave Sasuke a lot of credit for being the receiver. He was only getting half the experience, and he was already embarrassed. He couldn't imagine what Sasuke went through. He secretly considered himself lucky that Sasuke wasn't so direct or really bold.

Naruto sucked in a breath as he positioned himself above Sasuke. He could see the huge blush mask Sasuke's face. He slightly smiled to himself before lowering himself down onto Sasuke's hard member.

"O..ow..shit." Naruto cursed. Maybe he should have prepared himself. Sasuke wasn't exactly small.

He hissed in pain as he lowered himself more. Now he understood the pain Sasuke went through.

Sasuke couldn't help but moan loudly as he felt pleasure ripple through his body. He didn't know this could feel that good. But then he saw the pained face Naruto had and became worried. He felt bad that it seemed he was the only one feeling pleasure. He reached up and touched Naruto's cheek.

"I'm okay Sasuke." Naruto tried hiding his pain. "You also went through this as well." He smiled.

Sasuke couldn't help but notice how appealing Naruto was on top of him. Was he really doing this to Naruto?

Naruto lowered himself more, and he wasn't prepared for the mind numbing pleasure when his prostate was hit. He gave a low moan as it was rubbed against. He really had to give it to Sasuke, feeling both the pain and pleasure from his backside was a whole different experience.

"Shit.." Naruto softly moaned as he started to move himself.

Sasuke instinctively moved his hips, wanting to feel more of that pleasure. He could feel Naruto tightening around his member. The rubbing was what made it feel so good.

Naruto could feel the start of tears forming in his eyes from both the pain and pleasure. His muscles were contracting as he brought himself in an up and down motion.

Sasuke became worried and tried sitting up to wipe the tears; the same Naruto did to him when he cried.

"Ow..wait Sasuke, don't move." Naruto groaned. "I'm okay." He breathed out as he wiped his own tears.

Naruto gave a reassuring grin and he held Sasuke's hand and touched his member with the other. He couldn't help but notice how cute Sasuke looked. He bent down himself and kissed Sasuke's lips.

Sasuke kissed back and gave a soft mewl.

"Sasuke..I think I'm going to come." Naruto didn't expect to find pleasure but he did.

Before Naruto could react, Sasuke gave out a loud moan and he instantly shot inside of Naruto. He could feel Sasuke's come fill up inside of him. It sent shivers throughout his whole body.

Sasuke was calming down from his high as he watched Naruto come onto his stomach.

"Sorry." Naruto breathed out.

Sasuke shook his head and blushed.

Naruto calmed down as well and started to get off from Sasuke. He could already feel semen leaking out from him, but he didn't care. He laid right next to Sasuke and gave him a look.

"Did you like that?" Naruto asked, exhausted.

Sasuke nodded and continued to blush.

"That sure opened my mind a lot though." Naruto admitted. "But I don't think I could ever keep up with it."

Sasuke nodded to that. It was just a silent agreement that they would go back to their original positions. Sasuke felt more comfortable letting Naruto do it to him than the other way around.

"Good job though Sasuke. You did well." Naruto grinned. "Now I know what you go through." Naruto was glad he gave Sasuke the experience. He believed that Sasuke would never be able to do that if it wasn't for him.

Sasuke smiled and he hugged Naruto. He was actually glad Naruto let him do that. He would have never asked, and he would have been too embarrassed to do it, thus, never experiencing it.

"Now go to sleep Sasuke. I'm about to.." Naruto whispered.

It was those rare times that Naruto had fallen asleep before Sasuke.

Sasuke's ears twitched, but he curled against Naruto and fell asleep with a smile on his face.
