I meant ot have this up a whole day ago but I kept forgetting to preview it. Here's their meeting, more of an emotional chapter but we'll get back to the drama soon :)

The sun was beaming in Itachi's eyes as it appeared through the cracked curtains. He had woken up in the most comfortable setting he could possible remember, half naked with his younger brother in his bed. Itachi looked at Sasuke's sleeping body and he pushed himself up into a sitting position. That angelic sleeping face he loved to watch early Saturday mornings, when the rest of the house slept in. He placed his hand on Sasuke's head and played with his silky strands of wild hair. Sasuke stirred and slowly fluttered his eyes open to look at his older brother that, to his relief, was still in his bedroom. They had decided to sneak Itachi in last night and not disturb their parents until the morning. Nor would Itachi talk about his whereabouts our company over the past two months until the morning also. Sasuke placed his hand on his brothers as Itachi continued to rub his head. He rubbed his hand up and down his older brother's arm affectionately until he spoke.

"You know that I can't stay here." Itachi said calmly, keeping gaze with his brother.

"Shut up. You're not going to leave me again Itachi." Sasuke whispered back to him. Itachi bent over and kissed his baby brother on the forehead and then the cheek, the nose, his eyelids, until he met his lips where he slipped his tongue inside and embraced Sasuke tightly. Sasuke followed his brother's actions and massaged his tongue into the other's. He rubbed his hands through Itachi's hair, pulling down and removing the hair tie that was always in it. They kissed passionately until Sasuke could feel himself become more and more hard with each graze of their tongues. His loins burned to be touched and stroke and his hands wanted to feel every inch of his brothers missed skin, but his chest felt cramped and his sensibility pulled him away from Itachi who looked at his little brother confused. Sasuke sat up and moved to sit towards the bottom of the bed, farther from Itachi so he would not be tempted to continue.

"What's wrong?" Itachi asked, figuring that they would at least have gotten to third base before having to stop.

"You need to tell me why you left. I know you, if I don't get it out of you now you'll always avoid me." Itachi closed his eyes and turned his head away from Sasuke, clearly dreading this question since last night.

"You don't want to know Sasuke." Was all he responded. Sasuke shook his head frustrated.

"No! Don't do that to me. I deserve an answer." Sasuke choked out feeling pained that his brother was not willing to at least share whatever experience he had had. Itachi sighed out loudly and searched the bed for his hair tie so that he could tie it back up. Sasuke watched him intently, waiting for a replying, knowing that occasionally Itachi would take a few minutes to respond. When he had finally tied his hair back again and seemed like he was about to talk a tiny jingle was heard playing lightly and muffled. Itachi bent over the bed and grabbed his jeans that were on the floor, removing the cell phone from within. He glanced at it and canceled the call. "Where did you get that cell phone from? That's not the same one you had before. How would you even pay for it? You have a job?"
"No a friend bought it for me." Milliseconds after Itachi had spoken Sasuke's bedroom door had open violently and Sai emerged from the other side to rest his back against the wall near the door. He folded his arms and glared at Itachi.

"Don't lie to him." He said angrily.

"What?" Itachi asked, startled by his entry.

"I said don't lie to him. Why don't you just tell him the truth you act like he'll never find out. You know how you got that phone and you know how you make money. He'll know eventually."

"He would have never known and he should have ever known. Why did you do this Sai? Did you think it would benefit him?"

"What the hell are you guys talking about?!" Sasuke exclaimed, tired of being spoken about as if he wasn't in the room. Before either could answer Mikoto had appeared at the door, concerned about the noise Sasuke was making. She walked into the door and dropped her toothbrush and toothpaste container on the floor.

"Itachi!" She gasped as she ran up to her eldest son to embrace him. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she repeatedly said, "Oh my God." She pushed his bangs out of his face to get a better look at him, shocked and staring into his eyes as if he had reappeared from the dead.

"Mother.." Itachi said, trying to get her attention so that she would stop kissing at his forehead and hugging his head at the same time.

"You're so thin. You look like you haven't eaten since you left, oh my God." She spoke breathlessly as she placed her hands on both of his cheeks to stare at his shallow, sunken face. Itachi grabbed her hands and moved them away and she replaced them time after time, eventually kneeling so that she could properly hug her son. Itachi held his arms out, hesitant and taken aback by the affection. Eventually, he returned his mother's embrace and let his face nuzzle into her shoulder.

"Ohh." Mikoto managed to let out loudly as she squeezed her son. When she had seemingly got her fill of hugging and kissing him she stood up to talk. "How did you get here Itachi?" Her face looked pained and concerned.

"Sasuke found me in the city and brought me back." He said as he shot glare at Sai who was still at the door.

"Stand up, stand up." Mikoto demanded, wanting to confirm her son's thinness. "Oh, look at you." She said sadly. Itachi felt offended, he felt that he didn't look that thin. "Where are your clothes anyway? Why are you in your boxers?" She asked. Sasuke flushed to the side of her outside her view as Itachi calmly made up an excuse.

"They're dirty. Sasuke was going to wash them for me." Mikoto gave her son another pained expression and grabbed him again, this time putting her face in the nap of his neck.

"Are you alright?" She asked, her voice seeming to crack slightly. "Are you all better?" She asked with a painful gentleness, whispering as if she didn't want anyone else to hear her. She moved her arms from around his waist to around his neck.

"No mother," Itachi said soundlessly, "I'm not all better." Mikoto seemed to tremble in her son's arms and quickly departed from him, sniffling and rubbing her nose. She caught her breath and regained composure.

"Ah, well. You're father should be getting up at any moment." She looked to Sasuke for the first time. "I need to start breakfast." She kept gaze with Itachi for a moment longer then left. Sasuke was floored. His mother's extreme display of caring for the son who's room he was demanded to clean out was completely unexpected.

"That was weird." He said plainly, clearly still out of the loop.

"Not really." Sai responded from his same position. His eyes were closed and his face pointed to the floor. "Not all parents know how to react to their crack head children that show up in their house out of no where." Sai blurted out. He had enough of Itachi's stalling and forced the truth to come out.

"Sai!" Itachi said, raising his voice for one of the very few times Sasuke could ever remember.

"What is going on!?" Sasuke yelled, "Crack head? Itachi? What?" He looked to his brother with the similar pained expression that he mother had just previously been giving him. He wanted to flee the situation so badly. Never could Itachi remember ever feeling so guilty.

"Sasuke." Sai called out almost inaudibly. "I'm sorry I lied to you about not knowing where Itachi was. I should have told you sooner. But Itachi needs to tell you what he's been up to." Sai remained in his position as Sasuke stared at his brother, waiting for a reply. Before he could confirm his actions and fess up to his young lover of his dive into the wrong path their father was heard shouting from another room.

"WHAT?!" He blared louder than any of the three boys could possibly remember. They all twitched nervously and Itachi sat down to brace himself for whatever was about to come. Fugaku's heavy foot steps announced his arrival as he stormed into the room followed by a frightened looking Mikoto.

"I want you out of here! Now!" He yelled at Itachi while pointing a finger in his direction.

"Fine."

"What?!" Sasuke yelled also. "Father?" He questioned, not expecting the exact opposite reaction his mother had just given. Itachi stood up, grabbed his clothes on the floor and walked past his father, the two bumped shoulders violent and he disappeared out of the room. "Why are you making him leave? What's wrong with you?!" Sasuke yelled at his father who followed the typical family trait of closing his eyes and looking away. Sasuke ran after Itachi who was at the bottom of the stairs and had thrown on his clothes with lightening speed. He walked out of view and to the front door, opened it and left. Sasuke yelled after him as he nearly fell down the stairs trying to catch his brother, afraid that after he had walked out of the door he would simply disappear. He met Itachi on their front porch and he beckoned him.

"Please come back brother!" Itachi froze, his back to Sasuke. He turned, dreading his little brother's expression.

"I can't stay here Sasuke." He said calmly, "It'll always be like this."

"No please don't go." Sasuke begged walking closer to his brother timidly. "I'll help it'll be fine, just don't leave again Itachi!" Sasuke grabbed on to his brothers wrist, pulled him in closer and pulled Itachi into probably his millionth embrace of the morning. He returned it quickly and looked to his left and right to see wide eyed neighbors staring at them. He pried Sasuke off of him and pulled him back into the house and then down the stairs into their den. He closed the door behind himself as he pushed Sasuke in, then grabbed his little brother and yanked him into a kiss and in a desperate need for their passion.

"Itachi?" Sasuke asked confused when the two had finally parted. They could hear Fugaku yelling high above them, not wanting to hear his wife's pleas. Itachi guided Sasuke to the huge sectional couch that they had there and instinctively Sasuke pulled his brother on top of him. They kissed as if they would never kiss again and Sasuke wrap his legs around his brother as he dug his fingers into his upper arms. Itachi pulled away, gasping for air and sat himself besides Sasuke in an Indian fashion on their family's large golden beige sectional.

"Fuck, this is too much for me." Itachi said, putting his hand on the side of his head, trying to gather his thoughts.

"Tell me what happened? Tell me everything Itachi." Sasuke demanded. Itachi looked at Sasuke and shook his head. He frowned and looked away from the boy who moved and turned so that he could look into his brother's eyes. He grabbed Itachi's wrists and forced him to stay still. "Tell me!" He demanded once more. Itachi sighed and braced himself.

"Sai's not lying. I left home because I got addicted to drugs Sasuke. I've been living with friends of mine that are like me, in the city. Mother and father have known for months. It started over a year ago and got out of control. They caught me using probably six months ago and tried to help me to stop but couldn't. I left because I never wanted you to find out. I've done pretty much every drug out there but I mostly shot up heroine. I've done horrible things. I've been selling drugs with my best friend and my partner now. This guy named Kisame. Aside from that I've done ghastly things for money Sasuke. I don't think you'd want me to go into details, but there were….a good deal of men." Sasuke look at his brother for what seemed like the first time. He found it surprising that his words instantly were perceived as the truth. It all made sense and Sasuke found himself recounting various moments in which he should have caught on. He released Itachi's wrists and stared down on the cushion in between them. "I know you hate me for this." Itachi said sadly.

"Of course I don't hate you. I could never hate you for something like this. But, " Sasuke's face had turned to anger as he looked back up at a shocked Itachi. "why, why didn't you tell me. I could have helped you!"

"No one could have helped me Sasuke."

"Yes I could have and I still could! I'm not a child anymore Itachi stop trying to shield me from things! I love you more than I'll ever love anyone else in this world. I would do anything to help you and I won't stop until you're better. I won't let you do this to yourself and if you try to leave I'll just find you." Sasuke gripped the cushions below him as he spoke, emotions he couldn't understand fully welling up inside him. He dripped tears on to the sofa as he hung low so that Itachi couldn't see his face.

"Sasuke.." Itachi called out to him gently, moved by his brother's determination.

"You won't do this anymore," Sasuke sniffled. "even if I have to beat sense into you. Do you hear me?!" Sasuke shouted at his brother, revealing his tear streaked face. Itachi looked at his aghast. Something had changed within Sasuke during their short time apart; he had a new sense of integrity that Itachi had never seen before. He looked at his brother and smiled gently.

"I hear you." He took both of his hands and wiped Sasuke's tears away with his thumbs, after moving in to place another kiss on his younger brother's lips. They had momentarily swiped saliva when the den door busted open. The two jumped up and moved away from each other only to find that Sai was entering and closing the door behind him.

"You're parents finally settled down arguing. I think your mom's winning." Sasuke smiled to himself and plopped back on the bed. Sai noticed this and looked back to Itachi. "Did you tell him?" Itachi nodded silently and sat next to his brother, embracing and kissing him once more to Sai's disgust.

"How rude." he said as he sat on the piece of the couch that turned the other way, forming an L shape. He watched the two brothers continue to make out as the knot in his chest slowly stopped his breathing. "Are you done?" He asked when they parted for a few moments. Sasuke seemed to be woken up to his surroundings by Sai's voice and he stood up and walked to a different side of the room, so that he wasn't near either of his lovers.

"Let's stay down here." He said, "Until the dust clears."

Hours passed and Sasuke and Itachi's parents reached a decision. Mikoto won and Itachi was staying home, but the house had turned into a huge game of avoidance. The family sat down at what was the last real dinner they had and ate quietly, never speaking to each other until every person had finished their meal and went to their respective areas. Over a week after Itachi's homecoming things had not gotten anymore comfortable. Sai had taken up staying in the den almost every day after that. He curled himself into a comfortable position in a corner of the sectional and watched the big screen TV for hours on end. There was a small kitchen in the den also so he went upstairs one night to take food down to it so that he wouldn't have to interact with any of the rest of his family members. Sasuke and Itachi hauled up in either's room and Sasuke only came downstairs to get food. Mikoto and Fugaku had remained either in their bedroom or in the living room watching television. Occasionally there were days that required actually movement around the house. Sometimes, while looking for a book or some other random items Fugaku would quietly come into the den and speak to Sai, first asking if Itachi or Sasuke was around. The house was in a quiet chaos and Sai had never felt more like an outsider in his life. Not only did he not have anyone to team up with the game of avoidance but he practically was stuck in the den because he wanted to avoid Fugaku's constant complaints and both Itachi and Sasuke.

Since his first day home Itachi caused problems for Sai. He felt more and more depressed in his lower level prison and regretted ever coming to stay here. The more time passed the more Sai became angry with Sasuke. Not only were he and Itachi fucking anywhere and every time they got the chance, but Sasuke had not even seemed to acknowledge Sai's existence since Itachi had returned. Sai called his parent's to request coming home unsuccessfully, they were on a cruise and his next chance to get in contact with them would be in another week when they returned. Sai made mental notes to try and call at the exact right time so they didn't have any chance of leaving on yet another adventure. Every summer Sai's parents would ship him off to stay at his cousin's house. They got a month of vacation time in the summer and instead of spending it with their only child they wanted to have romantic time alone. Sai cursed his parents and continued to watch television for a few hours until Sasuke emerged at the den's door.

"Hey, my parents finally left so I came downstairs."

"Shouldn't you be getting fucked by Itachi right about now?" Sai asked sarcastically, not bothering to look Sasuke's.

"Don't give me the attitude Sai you knew how things were with us."

"Yeah but I didn't expect you to go off and ignore me after he came back!" Sai shouted, losing his patience with his younger cousin easily. Sasuke was taken aback; he didn't realize that his absence would anger Sai this much. "Just leave me alone cousin."

"No." Sasuke responded. He walked over to Sai and sat next to him on the couch. "Sai, I'm sorry. I just miss him. I wanted to spend time with him."

"Well now have all the time in the world." Sasuke diverted his eyes to the floor in front of him, unsure of how to make things right with Sai. He leaned in to kiss his older cousin but was pushed back instantly

"Don't fuck with me."

"I'm not fucking with you! You know I still care about you cousin." Sai didn't respond, he shook his head and stared in front of himself. Sasuke sat next to Sai and eventually pulled his blanket down and rubbed the lowest part of his older cousin's stomach, above his penis. Sai closed his eyes and shook his head disapprovingly again.

"Now you're being brat, Suke."

"Stop it I hate being called Suke. I'm not 6." Sai chuckled and kept his eyes closed. Sasuke, frustrated climbed on to his cousin and forced him into a kiss. He straddled Sai and held his head in place as they locked lips. They tongued each other violently and Sasuke started to grind his crotch into Sai's, making both of their cocks wake up instantly. The alive feeling Sasuke got when he and Sai fucked each other awoken again. He started to move off of his older cousin so that he could unbutton his pants and fuck him on the couch. He un button the tiny snap buttons on Sai's pajama pants and grabbed his dick to start stroking it. Sai moaned deeply to Sasuke's pleasure and rocked his hips, pushing his dick into his cousin's palm. They locked lips again and Sai found that his hand had moved to Sasuke pajama bottoms also and had already taken out his member to stroke it. He bent over to lick the head of Sasuke's dick then stroked it once more, slicked by his saliva. Sasuke felt to horny to continue their blow/hand job game. He locked lips once more while pulling Sai by the waist so that he could easily make entry into his ass. Sasuke had pulled down Sai's pants completely and was sliding deep inside of him. Sai panted his younger cousin's name and Sasuke kissed him again to silence him when Itachi appeared at the doorway of the den. Sasuke caught his eye and immediately jumped off of his older cousin. Itachi glanced at both boys and stepped back outside the door.

"Come, Sasuke." He said and walked away down the hall. Sasuke looked at Sai as the two shared an awkward moment. He bent down and kissed Sai gently on the lips once more before pulling up his pants, walking out of the den and closing the door behind him.

Sasuke and Itachi had spent the remainder of their day inside of Itachi's bedroom, lying with each other and kissing. They had occasional blowjob and hand job sessions and Itachi never spoke to Sasuke about his compromising position with their cousin and didn't seem to care much at all. Sasuke wondered if during their meetings, Sai and Itachi had talked about the relationship himself and Sai were sharing. The thought bothered him but he managed to keep it to himself, fearing a possible break in his and Itachi's affections. The day passed and it was morning once more. Itachi had awoken early like usual so that he could read the paper before his father had risen. When he reached their front door he heard gentle knocking and was interested at who could possibly be visiting this early in the morning. He opened the door to see a spiky haired blonde boy avoiding his gaze. The boy looked up and down quickly and flushed intensely.

"Listen Sasuke I need to talk to you. I'm sorry I came here so early and I'm glad you opened the door. I've just been having some issues and Kakashi said I need to talk about them with you. I'm sorry I've been avoiding you. I really miss us talking. But I need to know, do think me telling you I love you was weird?" He talked so fast Itachi barely kept up with him and after apparently spilling his guts to who he assumed was Sasuke the blonde boy looked up at Itachi and jumped back fearfully. "Ah ah ah, you're not Sasuke."

"Obviously." Itachi said condescendingly, he recognized the boy finally as one of Sasuke's friends. "He's in my room do you want me to fetch him?" Naruto stumbled out of the door way and backwards, almost falling on the porch's step.

"No no! I'll call him later." Naruto stammered as he dashed away, leaving Itachi to stare at him jogging back towards his house.
