Woo hoo! Glad this chapters out of the way. Thanks for the amazing reviews you guys! I probably would have quit writing this if it wasn't for them. This chapter took about a week longer than expected...heh heh vacation :(
Time went by as time normally does and dim morning light filled Sasuke's bedroom with a transparent blue glow, announcing the arrival of the dawn. Sasuke sat up his back and joints crunching from their awkward positioning during the night. The raven-haired boy had settled himself into the corner of his bed, in between the wall and headboard. He stretched his neck slowly, working out the kink when he accidentally knocked his cheek on his headboards wooden frame. Pain shot through the side of his face sending a horrific tingle through his left eye socket. Sasuke hissed in agony as the previous nights occurrences flooded him once more. He continued to rise from his uncomfortable slumber undoing all of his stuck positions. Slowly again, he undid his palm revealing the tiny white gold treasure chest inside of it laced with the indentions from gripping it tightly in his sleep.
Sasuke sat his present on top of his headboard and scouted off of his bed to go into the bathroom he and Itachi shared. He flicked on the light and immediately was shocked by the bruising and swelling the left side of his face had endured during the night. Dumbfounded, he walked to the huge bathroom mirror, gently grazing the sides of his once handsome face. There was a good size gash by his eye and dry coagulated blood had trickled down his face during the night. Sasuke gently removed his torn shirt, being careful not to agitate his wounded face. He then began to notice the other bruises across his back, neck and forearms. Trembling slightly, Sasuke moved to the toilet, setting the lid down so he could sit and gather his thoughts in the bright light of the bathroom. Instantaneously, agonizing pain shot up Sasuke's backside. He leapt from the lid as quickly as he had touched it, the hard surface hurting the cuts and irritated skin at his opening. Sasuke swore angrily, holding back his volume the best his could. Emotions welling up inside him once more, Sasuke paced the bathroom with thoughts consuming his well being. He wanted to flee his house, run outside the front door and not come back for months like his brother did. More so, he wanted to flee from his house, buy a bus ticket and arrive at his elder cousins front door to tell him the horrible mistake he had made by choosing his brother. Repeatedly, Sasuke paced, thought and tried to sit on hard surfaces unsuccessfully only to become aggravated beyond contempt and toss the soap dish into the wall, soap included. He huffed and breathed heavily, determined not to cry, until Itachi's concerned face peered into the doorway. This time Sasuke had forgotten to lock. Their eyes met and Itachi's instantly widened at the disfigurement of his younger brother.
"Sasuke?! What the hell happened to you?" Sasuke didn't want to hear his brother. Itachi came closer and closer forcing Sasuke to back away from him holding out his arm until he came against the bathtub that threatened to aid in knocking him in. Itachi tried to grab hold of his younger brother he fought against him, grabbing his wrist to stop him from falling in the bathtub, only to hear pain filled whimpers as he grabbed on to Sasuke's bruises.
"Leave me alone brother!" Sasuke finally boomed out. He pushed past Itachi and back into his bedroom whose door he tried to close behind him, unsuccessfully. His stronger brother pushed his way in looking utterly thunderstruck at his brothers attitude towards him, coupled with his physical state.
"Suke, please tell me what happen to you?" Itachi pleaded, closing Sasuke's bedroom door to muffle their voices. "Did you get into a fight?"
"No!"
"Did you….fall?"
"No!"
"Then what?" Itachi tried to embrace his infuriated sibling unsuccessfully as he fought against him violently.
"Just get out of my room and leave me alone!" Sasuke tried to maintain his forceful voice but it started to crack under pressure. He sat quickly on his bed, too quickly for his wounds and he shot up again with a quick hiss of pain. Sasuke went to the wall and placed his forehead on it, throwing a punch into the inanimate object defeated like. Then it all seemed to dawn on Itachi. Like a ton of bricks he realized what had happened to his precious little brother and why he was covered in bruises and his face was slightly bloody and beaten.
"Who?" Itachi asked with a dead seriousness.
"What?" Sasuke asked back, looking away from the wall. He became slightly nervous at the gravely stern expression his brother was throwing at him. "Who what?" He asked, unsure if and how Itachi would have come to the right conclusion so quickly.
"Do you know him? Do you remember what he looks like?" Sasuke shook his head. No, he didn't want his brother to fight any battles, especially battles that could have been avoided had Itachi been there when he needed him and not left him in the middle of the city.
"Just don't bother ok?!" Sasuke yelled at his older sibling, moving to his bed to sit down, this time slowly. Itachi clenched his fists watching the object of his affection in so much pain. His chest constricted excruciatingly tight when saw Sasuke flinch and twinge and place a hand on his face gently. Itachi moved to his younger brother who instantly became ridged and backed away from him. The older brother fell to his knees and placed his palms in Sasuke's lap.
"Sasuke, was it that blonde kid?"
"No!" Sasuke said pushing Itachi's hands away annoyed.
"Then someone you don't know?"
"No!…Ah! Shut up Itachi!" A bit of information. Now Itachi knew Sasuke knew his attacker.
"Suke." Itachi began standing up and crouching low so that he could attempt to hug his brother who kicked and flailed against him. Itachi pinned his arms to his side after much tussle between the boys, then eventually managed to get his arms around his little brother. "If you just tell me, I'll make it better." That was it, Sasuke's breaking point. He tried to tug away from his brother but he was too strong, determined to hold Sasuke down in his affection. Hot tears streaked the sides of Sasuke's cheeks as he let out more cries in the nook of his brothers neck.
"You don't care! You just left me there!" Itachi couldn't stop himself from clutching the skin on Sasuke's lower back. He tried to stop from squeezing his brother, fearful of doing more damage to his body and ultimately he released the boy who scooted back to the corner of the bed he had risen from. Itachi sorrowfully looked at his heated brother who glared back at him.
"Sasuke, that's not true." Sasuke began to shake his head; not wanting to hear his brothers lies. "I never left you. You turned the corner and I waited for you to calm down before I followed. When I did you were gone. I went down that street and I searched for you Suke. The only thing I found was a taxi leaving in the other direction, I assumed you were in it. I'm only just getting home."
"Liar!" Sasuke blared. "You left me there with him! What did he pay drugs for me or something Itachi?! You wanted me to take your spot?" Itachi's face became blank. He looked as if his brain was taking in too many facts at the moment and needed time to register them all. Finally he uttered.
"Kisame." He looked at his little brother who had curled into a ball in an attempt to get away from him. "Kisame?" Again Sasuke did not reply. Itachi nodded in a somewhat dazed way, looking as if he had appeared in an unfamiliar place. He crawled on to Sasuke's bed and up to his brother; kissing him lightly on the forehead even though it was obvious Sasuke wasn't accepting it; he scrunched his face and looked away. "I love you Sasuke. I always will, even if you don't love me back." Itachi slid off the bed, and then darted out of Sasuke's bedroom door without another word, seconds later Sasuke heard the front door slam below and he let out a deep sigh of relief, never looking out of his window to see where his brother was heading.
Not more than a minute later Fugaku blared at his sons.
"Sasuke, Itachi! What's with the noise?!" He came storming into Sasuke's bedroom only to fall still at the doorway. "Son?" He asked, as if he couldn't recognize him or it was impossible for Sasuke to have been beaten up so badly. "Wh-What happened to you?" His shocked expression only enforced Sasuke's silent tears. Moments later Mikoto appeared and screamed at the doorway.
"How did this happen to your face?!" She squealed. "Did you get into a fight last night?" Sasuke's mother looked close to fainting and she helped him off of his bed and examined his and body. Sasuke glanced at his father as his mother danced around him, looking at every inch of his body within her vision. Fugaku's eye's were slit, but not in the normal annoyed way they usually were. He breathed heavily and avoided Sasuke's gaze. Sasuke wondered if his father was really that worried about him, or if Sasuke did indeed looked that bad.
Under his mother's orders, Sasuke's parents rushed him to the hospital.
"I'm positive that cut needs stitches." She said, eyeballing him from the front seat of the car. Neither of his parents had asked more than once what had happened to Sasuke. He wondered, in the back seat of the car as he slid to the other side and rested the side of his face that wasn't bruised on the window, if they too found it obvious that he had been raped. Hoping against, Sasuke closed his eyes and let the gentle bumping of the car rock him into a momentary sleep. The kind of sleep where you don't hear conversations going on around you, but where you occasionally wake up and recognize your surroundings only to drift off to sleep once more.
They reached the hospital and the receptionist gasped at the look of Sasuke's face.
"Oh my! Bad fight?" She asked, but he only darted his eyes away from her, giving his mother the chance to chime in and request being seen ASAP. The nurse took their information and despite having about ten previously waiting people, Sasuke was called into the back within five minutes.
A different, attractive nurse guided him to the back where Sasuke only seen people walking by hurriedly, filling out paper work or patients sitting in rooms that all had the front wall missing and was replaced by curtains that could be heard whooshing occasionally as nurses and doctors met with and left patients. The nurse seemed to easily notice that Sasuke would twinge every so often when he walked and after guiding him to one of the rooms and asking him to take a seat on the hospital bed she asked if his parents would please wait for a moment in a sitting area down the hall. They complied reluctantly and eventually left Sasuke with his nurse.
"A doctor will be in soon. We're going to need to clean up your face and it looks like you need stitches by your eye. Just relax and change into this hospital gown." Sasuke nodded and the nurse gave him another pity filled up and down glance before she closed the curtain and walked away.
Ten minutes later Sasuke had changed, folded his clothes neatly, placing them on a chair in a corner and managed to get back onto the high hospital bed that he was grateful was so cushioned. He sat and twiddled his thumbs, unsure of if the doctor would need to know what really happened to him. Sasuke shuffled around feeling the pain in his anus and thought that it was best to be honest at least with his doctor, in case he had some damage down there that needed medical attention. Sasuke's thoughts became interrupted by a loud annoying voice that came from the room across from his.
"Ah don't tell me what to do I just want to look around. I'm bored; we've been here since last night. I need to move around before I fall dead asleep on this floor and bash the other side of my head." He sounded way too familiar.
"If you would just wait a moment the doctor will release us soon. Besides you still need you pain medicine? Once the alcohol runs out of your system you're going to start feeling that sprain in your wrist!" He sounded familiar also. Sasuke heard the boy suck his teeth and his footsteps grow nearer. The sound of curtains whooshing back and forth from around Sasuke made him tense. It was getting closer and closer and he knew this boy was trying to entertain himself by poking around the hospital. Finally Sasuke's curtain flew open and he came face to face with his blonde bombshell.
"Sasuke?!" Naruto nearly shouted. "Holy crap what happened to your face!?" Sasuke started to feel like he could really grow tired of hearing that question. Naruto inched his way closer to his best friend, making sure to close the curtain behind him. He stared at Sasuke's puffy eye area as if he had never seen anyone who had gotten beaten up. Sasuke tried to turn away from him, but Naruto urged him not to. His lower torso met Sasuke's knees as he came as close as possible to his crush. Naruto placed his hands on either side of Sasuke's waist as he gawked, making Sasuke uncomfortable with their closeness. "Geez, what sumo wrestler super jabbed you Sasuke?" Sasuke tried to push back further from his friend, determined to avoid his piercing blue eyes.
"Why are you here?" Sasuke mumbled, trying to change their conversation. Naruto, expecting a rebuttal, softened to Sasuke's timid and frail behavior. He studied him more, then noticing the bruising around his forearms and neck and started to get even more suspicious and concerned.
"Well," Naruto began. "After you had left, Neji drove me home. It's pretty stupid." Naruto began to chuckle. "He parked in front of my house and since I was drunk, still a little buzzed now, I put my foot on the ground between the car and the sidewalk, went to walk and slammed my face into Neji's car door and wrist into the ground as I fell. See the little wrist brace?" Naruto shook his braced wrist in front of Sasuke. "I'm still not feeling it much yet. I told Neji I was fine, walked into the house and passed out on the couch, only to have Kakashi shaking me awake and asking me why my head was bleeding." Sasuke nodded silently, looking somber towards the floor, alerting Naruto that Sasuke had been through something bad, something more than a fight.
"Hey, Sasuke?" Naruto called in his light husky voice. Without thinking about it Sasuke looked into his friends bright blue eyes. Naruto placed his undamaged hand on Sasuke's unharmed cheek. "What happened? You can tell me." Sasuke turned his face away from Naruto and shut his eyes, nodding his head in disagreement. "Was it bad?" Sasuke nodded his head to agree biting his lower lip to stop himself from crying in front of Naruto. "I'm sorry." Naruto whispered. He slid the hands that were at Sasuke's sides up his back and pushed his torso into a hug, careful to lay his face next the Sasuke's uninjured side. Sasuke clenched his jaw but was unable to stop himself from hyperventilating and crying in Naruto's arms. He nuzzled his face in Naruto's neck and wrapped his arms around him feebly. "I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you Sasuke." Naruto croaked, coming close to crying himself in his sorrow for his friend.
"Naruto…I" Sasuke began but his nurse had pulled open the curtain and appeared from behind Naruto and Sasuke with a tall dark haired woman who did not appeared to be a doctor; she was dressed normally. Naruto pulled away from Sasuke slowly and Sasuke quickly tried to brush away his tears.
"Oh don't cry." The nurse said affectionately, pulling some napkins from her pocket to dab Sasuke's swollen eye. "It'll just make your eye crust up. It's actually already very crusted and bloody. Come with me now so I can clean you up, then the doctor will see you and stitch your cut. Afterwards, Detective Barcelona here would like to speak with you."
"Detective?" Naruto asked, although a detective being around confirmed Naruto's suspicions.
"And what are you doing in here Mr. Uzumaki?! Your father has already gotten your medication, you can go home."
"Eh, I know. Its just that Sasuke's my friend and I ran into him." Naruto said nervously.
"Well you two can speak later. Come on Sasuke." Sasuke gently slid off of the hospital bed, unhappy about being watched by so many people at the moment. The detective smiled and nodded him off and Naruto gave him a small wave before he was whisked away.
After having his face carefully cleaned by the nurse Sasuke met with a doctor who he had the painstakingly hard task of reliving his rape to. The doctor inspected Sasuke's behind and concluded that aside from some tears and irritation there was no major damage done and he would heal up. The doctor stitched and bandaged his eye, then prescribed him some pain medicine and informed him to take laxatives to ease the pain of his excretions and prevent more tearing. Sasuke had been in the hospital for hours now and felt relieved when he saw the time was coming for him to leave, only to be downtrodden again by the sight of the detective he had met before. She waited for him in the room he was originally in and asked to speak with him briefly.
"So, Sasuke" She began. "You're doctor says that you've told them you were raped last night?"
"Yeah."
"Can we talk about that for a moment?"
"Just a moment."
"Ok well, do you know by who?"
"No." Sasuke lied.
"Do you remember what they look like?"
"No." Sasuke lied again.
"Have you done a rape kit? It'll help us with any evidence to find the man that did this to you." She spoke in a very understanding tone and had a mild easy to listen to voice, but Sasuke did not want to hear her.
"I didn't want to do a rape kit." Sasuke said bluntly. "I just want to go home."
"Sasuke. I understand that you want to get this all behind you, but we need to find who did this to you so we can put them in jail and prevent them from ever doing this to another person. He may have left evidence in or on you that we can us to prosecute him." Sasuke nodded his head violently.
"No! There's no evidence there's nothing to find out. I don't know who it was or remember his face, it was too dark and he used a condom. There's nothing you can do, just leave me alone please." The detective gave Sasuke a sad look and held on to his shoulder.
"We'll talk another time Sasuke." She said and walked out of the room. Sasuke dressed quickly after she left, wanting to leave the hospital as soon as possible. When he left his room Naruto called out behind him.
"Hey Sasuke I waited for you."
"Why?" Sasuke asked, wondering if Naruto had been listening to the conversation he was having with the detective. Naruto shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know. So we can talk. My dad left, your parents said I can ride home with you guys?" Naruto said questioningly, not wanting to intrude.
"You waited all this time for me to get released, so you could ride home with me?" Sasuke asked, feeling appreciative of Naruto's attempts.
"Yeah, here, I've got your ice pack."
Sasuke's family and Naruto drove home in complete silence until they were almost near their neighborhood.
"Naruto, do you want to come over?" Mikoto asked, looking at Sasuke. Sasuke looked from his mother to Naruto and nodded to agree to Naruto's invite.
"Yeah, sure."
"Good, the both of you can relax and I'll make breakfast, or lunch. Wow, it's already noon."
"Yeah I think my whole sleeping pattern is going to be thrown off now." Naruto laughed. Mikoto smiled at him and glanced at her son.
"Sasuke is your face hurting?" She asked.
"Only when I touch it, or move it, or look at things." He said with a harsh sarcasm that he regretted instantly. His mother frowned sadly, making him feel guilty. She didn't cause any of his pain. "I'm sorry." He added.
"Well, the doctor said that it's mostly bruising. You bruise pretty easily. It's going to get worse, but then the swelling will go down and if we're lucky you'll only have a scar by your eye. Nothing major." Sasuke nodded, upset that it seemed like his mother was more concerned with his looks than his mental scars. From his father's silenced and the hushed voices he occasionally heard from doctors and nurses speaking with his parents, he came to the conclusion that they in fact knew he was raped.
The group had finally reached the Uchiha family home and Naruto and Sasuke made their way up to Sasuke's bedroom upon entry. Sasuke sat on his bed holding the ice pack to his eye and trying to push himself back at the same time.
"Do you want me to hold that for you?" Naruto asked.
"No, no. I'm fine."
"Here you should just sit it on the pillow and then lay down." Naruto suggested, helping Sasuke get into a comfortable position so that he wouldn't have to hold the ice pack to his face. They found that if Sasuke moved his pillow to the edge of the bed and curved his torso to lay on his side, his upper half would be towards the head of the bed and his legs against the wall so that he could comfortably watch television and also allow room for Naruto sit or lay.
The boys had done just that until Sasuke had fallen asleep. When he had risen again it was late into the day and the sky outside was orange and pink with the setting sun. Naruto had his head in Sasuke's lap area and was sprawled out on the bed humorously, his bandaged hand near Sasuke's face. Sasuke smiled at his sleeping friend who snored gently, and started to rub his injured wrist. Naruto's eyes fluttered open and he tumbled around to lie on his stomach and face Sasuke.
"I've got a headache, oh, damn booze. I need to take some of my medicine, my wrists starting to ache. Shit! It's not here."
"Take an aspirin."
"Eh, later, I don't feel like getting up. How are you?"
"Better." Sasuke responded. He sat up and started to play with Naruto's crazy blonde locks. "Did some of the swelling go down yet?" He asked.
"Ye-Yeah." Naruto stuttered, alarmed by Sasuke's touches. "It looks a little better." Naruto followed suit and sat up also. He scouted closer to Sasuke to examine his face closer and then they fell into an awkward silence. Sasuke started to feel the butterflies he had felt the day he and Itachi had had their first kiss and the day he had Sai had first had sex. He looked at Naruto's flushed cheeks and realized how there was nothing taboo about their relationship. If he were to kiss Naruto and his parents walked in his father would probably be disappointed, but it wouldn't cause a fiasco. Everything about having a relationship with Naruto was so normal, compared to what he was used to and instead of seeming like the worst taboo the thought looked playful and airy. The thought excited Sasuke and his heart began to race in his chest.
Naruto also was breathing heavily and becoming nervous. Sasuke was showing him so much affection, but he was so damn confusing. One minute they're making out like Naruto had never dreamed and the next Sasuke's yelling about how Naruto tried to take advantage of him. But he wanted to hold Sasuke and make him feel better even if this crazy Uchiha yelled at him about it later. The question was, would Sasuke let Naruto in? Naruto pondered the question and became so lost in thought that he hadn't noticed Sasuke inching towards him. Naruto missed the gleam in Sasuke's eyes as his face came closer to Naruto's. Naruto only just barely realized what was happening when Sasuke grabbed his chin and brought their lips together. Startled, Naruto stayed in place, unsure of what he was allowed to do, until he let himself go and shut his eyes. First they pecked at each others lips, slightly tearing down the barrier between them. Then Sasuke slipped his tongue into Naruto's mouth, letting it slide over Naruto's playfully until Naruto pushed back and forced entry into Sasuke's mouth as well. They tongue wrestled as they both inched nearer to each other. Naruto raised his hand, determined to make at least one of the first moves, and inched it towards Sasuke's chest. He came close enough to grab his shirt until a small knock at the door startled the two and they moved away from each other. Mikoto slowly creaked the door open and peered her head in.
"Oh good you're both awake. I've got dinner." She used her hips to push open the door as she removed the plate she was holding on her forearm. Naruto jumped up to help her with the plates of food and he sat them on the bed and thanked her for them accordingly. "Naruto, after you eat your father wants you to come home. He called and says you need to take your medicine and rest up."
"Ok." Naruto replied happily adding, "Too bad I've been asleep all day already." when Mikoto had vanished. Naruto sat back on the bed next to Sasuke who was already eating. He picked up his fork oddly and fumbled with a piece of roasted potato he was having a hard time picking up.
"Damnit! Why'd I have to sprain my right wrist? My whole left arm is completely useless." Sasuke chuckled and stabbed Naruto's potato then brought it to his mouth to feed him. "Sasuke?" Naruto called between chewing. "Will you tell me who did it to you? It wasn't Itachi was it?" He asked, afraid to look at Sasuke's face.
"No, it wasn't. I'll tell you, another time. I don't want to think about it right now. I'm thinking about you." He said lowly. Naruto blushed even more.
"What's happening between us?" Naruto asked, sincerely not understanding where their relationship stood.
"I'm not sure."
"Whatever it is, I like it." Naruto voiced barely over a whisper. Sasuke chuckled again and bent over to kiss Naruto.
They finished eating and eventually continued with their kissing after Naruto had brought down their plates. Sasuke and Naruto lay on their sides hugging and kissing each other while gently caressing the others back and sides.
"Sasuke are you sure you're not putting too my pressure on your face?" Naruto said, pulling away from their kissing.
"No it's fine. I'm resting my head's weight on my arm here. See?" He asked jiggling his elbow to show Naruto his curled up arm. Naruto gave Sasuke a quick kiss on the lips and then sat up and looked at him, an upset expression on his face. "What?" Sasuke asked.
"I feel guilty." Naruto murmured.
"Huh? Why?"
"If I didn't start that fight with you, you wouldn't have left off walking and had that happen to you. It's all my fault." Naruto frowned and looked down at Sasuke's bed, fiddling with his sheets.
"I don't blame you. Stop worrying about it and kiss me." Sasuke said, giving Naruto a small smile. Naruto returned it and nudged Sasuke onto his back. He opened his legs slightly and squeezed in between them so that he could lie on Sasuke. Sasuke allowed the motion, taking his hands and sliding them up Naruto's shirt to rub his back and strong shoulders. They began to kiss more passionately, unconsciously rubbing against each other, until Naruto's hand moved itself on Sasuke's lower abdomen. Naruto turned over slightly so his hand could rub against Sasuke's crotch and the Uchiha flinched violently making Naruto jump off of him.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Naruto cried out then turned to a whisper so not to alert Sasuke's mother. Sasuke shook his head and sat up.
"No, no, it's fine….I just….need some time." He fumbled with his words. Naruto nodded to agree then sat in his place to give Sasuke room. "But I still want to kiss." Sasuke added, noticing that Naruto was prepared to discontinue their session.
"Oh!" Naruto beamed and he leaned in to kiss his Uchiha once more.
They continued to make out until Mikoto called up again to tell Naruto his father had called once more and wanted him home. Naruto groaned and obliged swearing he'd never speak to Sasuke again if he yelled at him about their making out tomorrow. Sasuke laughed and pushed Naruto away, saying goodbye to his best friend. A few more hours had passed and it was getting later into the night. Sasuke had decided that his room was getting too stuffy and went down to the den to watch television on the big comfy sectional. He hadn't been there for more than twenty minutes when Itachi came into the den quickly and quietly.
"Where have you been?" Sasuke asked.
"Oh! Sasuke. What are you doing done here?" Sasuke had never seen Itachi look so nervous. He could see his brother's eyes blinking violently in the violent glow of the huge television. Itachi darted away from Sasuke not giving him anytime to respond. He went into the den's bathroom and started running water and pulling towels out of the built in wall storage. Concerned, Sasuke crept into the bathroom to find a gruesome scene. Itachi was disrobing himself down to nothing, every layer of his clothes were covered in blood. Even his bare torso had smears of apparently fresh blood on them. Frightened for his well being, Sasuke started to survey Itachi's body, stopping him from scrubbing his bloody hands in the sink, but there wasn't a scratch on him. Wide eyed and terrified, Sasuke started to shout at his brother.
"What did you do!?"
"It doesn't matter." Itachi spoke calmly but moved frantically. Sasuke realized that it wasn't nerves that were guiding his brother's speed. He was trying to clean off evidence.
"Itachi what the fuck did you do!?" Sasuke whined. Itachi spun around and held on to the side of Sasuke's face, unaware that he was hurting his bruises.
"Shut up, Sasuke, before you wake up our parents." He said sternly. He looked crazed and Sasuke silenced himself fearfully. Itachi turned around and started scrubbing his hands again, then grabbed up his clothes into pile. He fell to his knees and searched under the sink to find a bag to throw them in and Sasuke started to cry. He moved away from his brother into the bathroom further and pressed his back against the wall, letting it guide him as he slid down to the floor, not trying to hold back his cries. Itachi tied the bag up with all his clothes except his boxers in it. He looked at Sasuke crying in front of him then crawled over to him. Itachi tried to pry Sasuke's hands from his face unsuccessfully.
"Sasuke!, Sasuke stop crying! You're going to wake them up."
"Just tell me what you did. Please." Sasuke moaned, removing his hands to meet his brother's eyes.
"I took care of it." Sasuke moaned and looked away. "Listen to me." Itachi pleaded, crawling between Sasuke's legs to get as close as possible to him. "Don't worry about it. I took care of it." He said, making him sound even more insane. He kissed Sasuke's cheeks, lips and forehead continuing to say that he took care of it. "Because I love you." Sasuke pushed him away and became so frustrated that he started to hit him.
"Fuck! Just tell me and shut up! Tell me what you did!" Itachi became silent and sat up on his knees only to give Sasuke the most robotic answer he had ever heard.
"I stabbed him….a few times." Sasuke couldn't believe his ears he gawked at the person who he had been in love with for so long and seen exactly how badly he was falling apart in front of him. Itachi was gone and Sasuke didn't know if it was because of the drugs or if he had just snapped.
"Where Itachi? Where did you stab him?"
"In the throat."
A/N: Yeah I know it's a teaser. But everyone likes a little bit of teasing here and there! Next chapter real soon, maybe we'll talk to Sai! ;)
