Chapter 2
In the morning Itachi was gone before Sasuke was awake. He couldn't face Sasuke yet. As soon as he walked in the building he went into the elevator to the top floor. Down a hallway, then another to two large doors and walked in.
"Tsunade."
Eyes studied him across a pile of papers, "Can I help you?"
"No, but I can help you."
He closed the door as he started talking, as he sold out his clan and brought down the company his family had built for generations.
Sasuke finally woke up. The bed was soft and warm. Itachi. He was suddenly very awake as last night flooded into his brain.
"Holy fuck."
Eyes wide he touched his lips feeling the phantom tingle from the night before. He kissed his brother. He took a bunch of shots and kissed his brother. Was that how he felt about him now? What had happened to him in the time Itachi was gone? Sasuke pulled his knees up hugging himself. He realized he was in Itachi's bed. When had that happened? Had he done anything else last night? His mind flashed to all the worst possible things he could imagine. Flashes of him on top of his brother. His brother leaning over him, sweat on his brow, bliss on his face. Sasuke shuddered as he hardened quickly. He laid back a bit overcome with his sudden arousal. Itachi...on him...kissing him. Hands tracing down his stomach, kissing at the bend of his hips...Sasuke's fingers in his hair as it brushed across his skin. Sasuke warred within himself as he palmed his painfully hard erection. If he did this, he would really be accepting that he wanted his brother, wanted to do things with him he had never done with anyone. Sasuke pulled himself out and started stroking. His first time...what if it could be with Itachi? His brother's eyes, trapping him, mesmerizing him. He closed his eyes and lost himself in a fantasy as he stroked steadily.
Itachi walked into the room, shedding clothes as he approached the bed. Sasuke already naked under the sheets ready for him. Itachi crawls over him taking his lips in a passionate kiss. His hand stroking over his chest, then fingers trailing down...pushing the sheet away to reveal his hard member. Itachi's hands,so sure and firm on him as those long fingers wrap around. Sasuke bites his lip overwhelmed with his brother's touch. Itachi leans down giving a quick lick to his swollen head. Sasuke throws his head back, "Itachi!" fingers in those long soft locks, gripping, begging. Slowly his warm soft mouth descended over Sasuke's aching member, enveloped in that wet heat as...
Sasuke's phone went off. He growled in frustration, leaking dick in hand. Of coarse, it was Itachi.
"Hello?"
"Morning Otouto."
Did he imagine that purr in his voice?
"I'm almost home, I thought we could grab lunch together. I'll be there in about 5 so just throw on some clothes and come outside."
Sasuke wanted to choke him through the phone.
"I can do that, see you in 5."
Sasuke stared in annoyance at his problem, which was now past the point of putting on pause. He flopped back onto the bed and skipped to the main event.
Sasuke's face was buried into the pillow as he screamed, "ITACHI!" His hands grabbing, clinging to anything as he was fucked with wild abandon. The bed smacking the wall as his brother pounded into him. Each thrust hitting that tight bundle of nerves he had found when he was experimenting. His vision hazed with pleasure. Itachi pounding him hard, his hands in a vice grip on his hips, relentless and made of pure need. Grunts of lust and pleasure adding to the sounds of flesh hitting flesh and Sasuke's stream of moans and cries. The feel of him pounding hard and fast, deep inside his body. Every inch of him singing. His sack tightened...he was close. His brother's burning hand reaching around and giving him firm strokes in time with his desperate thrusts. Sasuke cried out one last time.
He grabbed a tissue off the nightstand and caught his seed and he spilled out his orgasm, "ITACHI!" His body arched at the force of his release, eyes closed in bliss. He collapsed back down on the bed looking at the clock. Two minutes left. At the moment he really hated his brother.
Sasuke felt even more confused as he headed out to his brother's car. It had taken him four minutes to find clothes and pull them on. He looked like a mess. Body covered in a light sheen of sweat from sleep and lust. Hair messed from the pillows as he had thrashed in the bed.
Itachi watched his brother walk to the car and his first thought was that Sasuke looked like sex. He looked like he had just crawled out of bed after a good fuck. Today he needed to explain what was going on. Not at lunch, he didn't have enough time.
Sasuke slipped into the passenger's side. Itachi watched his brother curious what was going on in his head. "Sleep late?"
"Yeah, I woke up when you called."
"How are you feeling?"
"Ok. I drank water. I'm sorry about last night. I know I was being a pain."
"It's ok."
Neither of them was going to bring up the kiss. Sasuke was too embarrassed and Itachi wasn't sure Sasuke remembered it happened.
Itachi pulled into a diner just off campus. Neither spoke as they walked in and took a seat. Itachi was regretting the idea of lunch with his Otouto. The waiter took their order. Soon their food was out.
They ate in silence.
They paid in silence.
They drove off in silence.
Itachi decided to be the bigger man and bite the bullet.
"About last night."
Sasuke felt ice run through his veins.
"Can we talk about this tonight?"
Itachi nodded and dropped it, Sasuke wanted to wait, they would wait.
Sasuke bowed his head and looked so lost and dejected. A miserable kitten in his passenger seat.
"Sasuke. I still love you."
Big hopeful eyes looked up at him. Eyes that had always adored and worshiped him.
"You do? I shouldn't have done that. I know it's wrong, and I put you in an awkward situation."
Itachi pulled up in front of his apartment.
"Sasuke."
He faced his brother again. Those long agile fingers lifted his chin, those silk lips were suddenly pressed to his own again. It was short but filled with so many things. Those wondrous lips whispered against his.
"We have a lot to talk about tonight."
Sasuke nodded, his head spinning as he mechanically got out of the car and headed back into the apartment.
Itachi took a deep breath and drove back to work. He needed this time before he went home tonight. He wasn't ready for this conversation. He hadn't had time. How did he feel? What was he going to do about this?
Tsunade called him into her office. "Itachi, I checked into the things you told me. I was surprised to find out it was all true. The tax fraud, the embezzling, along with their even shadier things I can't yet prove. It's been more then enough for our legal team to move on, we're going to separate the guilty parties from the Kono company umbrella. We're talking with the feds now. Things should start happening by the end of the day."
Tsunade set down the paper she had been skimming and looked at Itachi.
"I want to offer you a job. As soon as you graduate, you have a position with us."
Itachi nodded, he had expected this, "Thank you. I would like that."
"Thank you, you have saved thousands of people their jobs."
Sasuke was nervous. He knew his brother would be home soon and he was like a stretched wire. He heard a sound, was that him? He went to the window looking. It was! Itachi pulled into his parking spot. Sasuke watched him get out of the car. Everything he did was graceful, it was like slow motion. Sasuke had a moment of panic, should he try to look casual? The door opened and there he was, beautiful, strong, everything Sasuke always wanted to be.
Before he could think Sasuke was wrapped around Itachi kissing him. Strong, sure hands wrapped around his waist pulling him close. Itachi's kiss was trying to devour him. He moaned and melted into his brother. His fingers worked quickly at the buttons on Itachi's shirt pausing only so Itachi could pull his off. Those lips were on his neck, a burning line down his skin. Sasuke's moan deepened as he felt teeth on his neck, knowing it would leave a bruise. "Itachi..." Sasuke moaned, he moved to grind against Itachi's own hardness. Itachi's shirt joined Sasuke's on the floor. There was no thought, this was all unplanned, unexpected. His brain had turned off, he was need. This is what he had been waiting for, why he had been so uninterested in everyone else. Sasuke jumped and wrapped his legs around his brother's waist. Itachi's hands gripped his thighs, his body humming in the same need. He carried them into the bedroom where he fell onto the bed, his object of desire under him moaning. Itachi leaned up, it gave Sasuke a chance to reach up and run hands over that flawless chest. His hands sliding lower to rub against the bulge in his pants.
Itachi let out a throaty moan. He wanted Sasuke's mouth on his cock, he wanted inside his brother, he wanted everything at once. Sasuke obviously wasn't letting thinking get in the way, so why should he? He watched as Sasuke slid down the bed under him, that beautiful face moved closer to his swollen crotch, Sasuke rubbed his cheek against it before locking eyes with Itachi as he slowly unbuttoned and unzipped his slacks. Itachi couldn't breathe the air was so hot, his blood pounding so hard. Those eyes filled with lust and devotion for him, only him, and always him. A kiss to his stomach as long fingers started to slip into his boxer briefs so close to that burning flesh. His body pleading for that touch. Eyes closed as his head lay back...
There was a knock at the door.
Itachi was going to kill someone. He gave a bestial growl as he kissed Sasuke hard and pulled a t-shirt on as he headed to the door.
The knock came again, more insistent. Itachi looked through the peephole. Sasuke came in and grabbed his own shirt. Itachi turned to his brother and mouthed, Mom. Sasuke looked like a deer in headlights. Itachi opened the door and their mother stormed in, a whirling mess of fury and panic.
"How could you Itachi?!" Itachi watched her calmly as she stormed and raged at him. Sasuke was confused, what was wrong? Itachi glanced at him and his eyes held some kind of apology.
"You've destroyed us! You are not an Uchiha, you are not my son! Your father is being held, everything we have is frozen!" She pushed him. Itachi just stood impassive. "Why?!"
"Because what they have been doing is wrong."
She stared at him in fury and tears, "Sasuke, get your things, you're coming home and away from him."
"I'll help you Sasuke. He'll be ready in a moment."
Sasuke followed Itachi back into his bedroom. They packed Sasuke's things quickly. They were heading back into the living room where their mother was crying loudly. Itachi turned, gripping his shoulders, "Sasuke, whatever you are told, whatever you hear. I love you, and it had to be done." He seemed to hesitate, then kissed Sasuke quickly before going back out. Their mother was a mess on the couch. Itachi stood before her, "Can I get you anything, a tissue?"
She stood and slapped her eldest son, "You can stay away from us."
She took Sasuke's hand as she dragged the confused boy out of the apartment.
Itachi dropped onto the couch. He knew something like this would happen. It was an obvious trail to follow. He knows all about Uchiha Corp, he takes an internship at Kono, father tells him about the merger, the next day the merger falls through and the feds happen to know all of Uchiha Corps dirty little secrets. It was like he had been falling and now he had hit the ground.
Sasuke felt like he was a little kid again. Things were happening and he had no idea what was going on. He had been ready to fall in bed with his brother, and now he was riding home with his furious mother and somehow Itachi had apparently destroyed everything.
"Mother, what is going on?" He was tired of being in the dark, and angry Itachi hadn't told him.
"What happened is that Itachi betrayed us. Sold us out for a place in Kono industries. Now your father is being held, and he's done nothing. Our money is all frozen while they investigate. We have nothing and it's Itachi's fault."
We have nothing? He couldn't believe that Itachi would do this for no reason. He needed to talk to Itachi.
When they got home, it felt like a ghost town. Father's study was practically bare. Everything was still there in his room, mother said they had taken cabinets of files for evidence from the study. After he had unpacked and made sure his mother was occupied he sat on his bed and called his brother.
"Itachi?"
"Sasuke, I need to explain."
"Damn right you do, what the hell is going on?"
He head Itachi take a breath and sigh heavily, "Father has been planning on me taking over for a long time. That meant making sure I knew about how things run, how everything runs. Uchiha Corp is involved in just about every shady business practice there is. They've been planning a hostile takeover of the main company for years now. Kono industries is a good company, but Uchiha Corp is corrupt. I'm sorry Sasuke, but if I didn't take over I knew they would force you to."
"But Itachi, how are we supposed to afford anything? Food, bills? How am I supposed to start college this fall? I can't afford the tuition!"
"I know, and I'm so sorry Sasuke, but I couldn't let them do it. I hope you can forgive me."
Sasuke sat on the bed in silence before finding his voice, "I think I need some time."
"I understand, call me whenever you want. Anything you need Otouto."
"Goodbye Itachi."
Sasuke sat in stunned silence. Yeah, his brother had done the right thing, but it had destroyed his life. He had suddenly gone from having all these plans to nothing. He had nothing, and his father would probably go to jail. Their mother...she had been a housewife since they had been born. What was she going to do? The world was crumbling and he had been willing in the arms of the cause just this morning. This morning had been amazing, the feeling of being with Itachi, he had been more then willing. What would have happened if their mother hadn't shown up?
He would have had sex with his brother. Sasuke held his face in his hands. What was he going to do?
Itachi's days had become a mindless rut. He did his job, he did it well, but he was going through the motions. Panic burned at the back of his mind. What if Sasuke couldn't forgive him. He had ruined all Sasuke's plans, destroyed their family, and put their father in prison. His compensation? A decent paycheck and incredibly flexible hours while he finished his degree.
Sasuke had finished packing. They had to sell the house to cover lawyer fees and were going to move in with their mother's sister. Mikoto had taken on a determined tragic persona. She was going to persevere. Sasuke hadn't changed any of his plans yet, he was still going to be going to the same University as Itachi. He just suddenly had no idea how to pay for it. After hearing the court proceedings, listening to depositions, and seeing stacks of paperwork he was understanding Itachi's side. Things had been moving so fast, it had been a month since they had spoken. He had asked for time and he got it in plenty. He knew Itachi would wait until he called.
Another two weeks and if he worked and took a loan he could afford school, but that was it. No food, or living. He sat on his bed with Itachi's number glowing on his screen. There was one option. He was almost afraid to call. He closed his eyes and called.
"Sasuke?"
"Hi Aniki."
A full pause
"What's going on?"
"Can we have dinner? I need to talk to you."
"Of coarse, we can do it tonight if you want to."
Sasuke nodded , then realized he couldn't see it.
"Yeah, tonight is good. 6?"
"Where are you staying?"
"We're at our aunt's."
"Ok, see you at 6 then."
Sasuke hung up the phone and stared at it. He was going to see his brother tonight. His confusing amazing brother. He had wanted to call, but always stopped just short of it. Every time he lay in bed hard and panting he was thinking of Itachi. When he came it was Itachi's name on his lips. He was afraid if he saw him he would fall to pieces. Sasuke glanced at the clock, he still had a lot of time until tonight. Sasuke went to go burn off some nervous energy.
Itachi checked himself in the mirror one more time. His first time to see Sasuke in over a month. Considering the last time they had seen each other had been half naked and ready to cross a lit of lines, this was a little nerve racking. He pulled up to their aunt's house and was about to get out when Sasuke came out of the door quickly and jumped into the car.
"Let's go before mom sees. I told her I was going out with friends."
Itachi nodded and pulled away quickly. Once they were out on the main streets Itachi glanced at his brother, "How have you been Otouto?"
Sasuke shrugged, "I...it's been rough. Mom's been a mess. Everyday it's something to do with the case."
It was as bad as Itachi thought. He wouldn't change that he had done it, but he wished it hadn't hurt his brother so much.
"Sasuke."
"and yeah, everything you said is true. I've been listening to the lawyers, reading everything, looking at records. You were right. This needed to happen, it's just made things difficult."
Itachi pulled into the restaurant. A European cafe type place with a patio and lights in all the plants. They got a table off to the side. A votive candle flicked in the center as the waiter handed them menus.
After he came back with their drinks the waiter took their order and disappeared again.
"So Sasuke, what did you want to talk about?"
Itachi sipped his Merlot and eyed him over the glass. Sasuke wanted to fidget like he was a little kid again, "I mentioned we had money issues. I'm still going to school this fall, but the only way I can afford it is if I take a loan and work. Sadly that leaves me nothing to cover food or housing."
Itachi saw where this was leading, "Would you like to stay with me? I already told you, anything you need."
Sasuke felt relief wash over him, he had been worried with how things had left off, if his brother might feel differently.
"Thank you Itachi."
As they ate he started worrying about living with his brother for other reasons. Everything was distracting. How Itachi's lips wrapped around his food, his fingers were long and graceful on the fork. His face flawless. Sasuke wanted to smack himself, I'm going to swoon any moment. He wasn't sure if he could handle his brother touching him. That burning need eating him. He would either catch on fire or jump him. Deep breaths.
When they had finished dinner they walked back to the car. Itachi stopped, "Do you want me to take you back? I would like to catch up some. I know I don't really have a right to ask, but I still want to know what's happening."
Sasuke nodded. Another deep breath. "Do you want to talk at your place?"
Itachi nodded and away they went.
The moment Sasuke walked in he was awash in memories of the dreamlike days right before the nightmare. Itachi sat on the couch carefully neutral, Sasuke sat on the other end.
"Mom had freaked out that day because the feds had come and picked up Dad. She told me Dad had been screaming that you betrayed him. She said a lot of things about you."
He debated how honest to be with his brother.
"There I was listening to her say all this and I'm sitting upstairs thinking about how a few hours earlier I was about to suck you off when she knocked." Sasuke didn't remember standing, but he was now. Fists at his side. Before he knew what was happening he was pissed, extremely pissed.
"It's like I was in this crazy dream. I'm going to spend a few days with my brother that I've only see off and on for years now. Who dashes in, confuses me, and is gone. Then I'm finally around you long enough to figure out what it is and it's that I want you. I want you! My brother! You touch me and I lose my mind...and I shouldn't because our family is a mess and everything is wrong and..."
Sasuke sank to the floor just staring into space, his mind a mess of jumbled counteracting thoughts.
Itachi watched his baby brother start to fall to pieces. He knew it was because Sasuke felt safe with him, he was always safe with him.
Itachi kneeled in front of his shell shocked little brother, "Touch me."
It was a soft whisper, a pin dropping in the silence of the apartment. Sasuke looked up at him, eyes too big. Too much change too fast, all those plans...a trembling hand reached out to run fingers down his older brother's cheek, along his jaw. Itachi. His protector. Sasuke had always felt safest sleeping in his Aniki's arms.
Sasuke ran a trembling thumb over his brother's feather soft lips.
"I'm going to live with you."
Itachi gave a little nod.
Sasuke closed the distance between them. Itachi remained still, not wanting to spook him. His brother pressed close and nuzzled his neck a little. He pulled back searching Itachi's face for a moment, flashes of uncertainty.
"I want you to be my first."
That was all he needed. Itachi crossed that gap and took those yielding, pleading lips with his own. Sasuke melded to Itachi, fingers wound in his shirt. Small sounds, gasps as he put all his hunger and aching need in that kiss.
Itachi responded in kind, hands grasping, touching, taking in every line and curve of the body being offered under him. Itachi stood, pulling Sasuke with him and led him to the bedroom.
So close they had come, but this was different. This was certain.
Itachi rose on his knees straddling over Sasuke as he pulled off his t-shirt. Itachi's quickly followed. Sasuke quickly undid his jeans. Itachi leaned down kissing and licking on Sasuke's firm stomach. Itachi smiled against his skin as a little nip drew a small gasp from the writhing form under him. Pants soon joined the pile, boxers leaving with them.
Sasuke lay naked beneath Itachi. A little nervous, a lot aroused. His novice hands running up Itachi's toned thighs to the hard shaft over him. His exploring touch drew a moan from Itachi. He could tell Itachi was trying to stay calm, to be patient. Sasuke was thankful and took the chance to squeeze and feel along his length before leaning up and placing a kiss against the head. A lick along the slit, then another firm draw of his tongue up the underside. He though of what he would enjoy and took the swollen head into his mouth. A deep, very dominant,l very happy growl came from the chest above him. Hips rolling gently into his mouth. Sasuke wrapped his fingers around the base to help control how much he took, then slowly started sliding his tight wrapped lips down. He made it halfway before pulling back up.
"Sasuke..." firm fingers in his hair stroking and petting. A gentle tug and Sasuke took the cue to pull off. Itachi dropped onto his arms over his brother and kissed him again working his way over to his arched neck. Sasuke's hips moving of their own accord, rubbing his pulsing length against Itachi as those lips on his neck drove him insane. Teeth, little nips, then soft lips kissing.
Suddenly there was a rush of cold air and Sasuke opened his eyes to see Itachi pulling lube out of his nightstand.
He gave Sasuke another kiss with penetrating tongues and moans.
Itachi looked down at his panting brother, writhing with arousal. Itachi knew it was his first time. He was generous with the lube. He knew people underestimated the need for lube. He gave it a moment to warm on his hand before kneeling between his delirious brother's legs. As he moved closer to Sasuke's twitching cock he could see the anticipation build in his eyes. He couldn't help but smile before he took the length in his mouth, one hand holding Sasuke's hips steady. He let his brother appreciate the sensation, the feeling of being wrapped in soft and warm. Sasuke's fingers had a death grip on the sheets as Itachi's mouth descended taking in his full aching length and humming softly as the warmed lube was spread around his tight hole. A moment of gentle pressure and his finger was slowly pressing through. He slid back up the length simply sucking and licking at his head as he steadily pushed inside. Fully in he set a steady rhythm.
"Ooooh...Itachi...mm"
Slick with lube another finger to twist and stretch.
Itachi could sense his brother starting to get close...he pulled off but kept his fingers working as his other hand prepared his now painfully hard cock. Fingers pulled out of Sasuke he leaned over him again as he stroked his slick length.
"Sasuke, I love you. No matter what happens, I always will."
Sasuke's hands reached up to hold his face a moment giving him a desperate panting kiss.
"I love you too Itachi, always, no matter what."
Gentle and slow...gentle...steady
Sasuke wanted to tense...no he was ok, breathing...the fingers had felt amazing, his brother's mouth had been bliss. He knew what his own fingers had felt like. Itachi was definitely bigger. His brother pulled his ass further down and bent him back a little so he was very exposed. He was ok, breathe, relax, breathe. Itachi knew what he was doing and worked his head in slowly. Watching himself disappear into Sasuke was intoxicating. Sasuke watched the animal hunger in his brother's eyes as he felt that soft hardness push inside him. He focused on his brother's face, the face that wanted him so desperately. The one he wanted to be and be with. Itachi's fingers were gripping his thighs tightly, he could feel Itachi holding back, and he was thankful. Just a moment and ….oh holy..fuck...Sasuke let everything go as Itachi started a steady rhythm. More...harder...he reached out blindly and grabbed his brother's iron forearm planted at his side pulling him down. The rhythm faltered as Sasuke gripped Itachi's hair to hold him there rocking against him, impaling himself faster. Itachi growled and lost it, he got his knees under him and went as hard and fast as he wanted. Sasuke's body bouncing underneath him. Itachi leaned up enough to dig teeth and lips against that pale slick neck. Sasuke screamed underneath him, nails in his back...fingers tight in his hair. Itachi's hand gripping Sasuke's hair forcing him into a violent kiss made of the base of sex. Lust, need, pleasure, possession. His. He gripped Sasuke's dripping length and stroked hard and steady, fingers slick with lube.
"Itachi...Itachi...ta...ta...ta"
Eyes closed and mouth open...
"Oh fuck...I..."
Fingers tighter in his hair. Hips meeting his, the sound of flesh pounding flesh deafening.
A scream, something between his name and an incoherent animal sound erupted as Itachi felt his brother cum against his chest. Itachi letting go his last shred of control and cumming with relief and satisfaction in his well satisfied lover.
Fingers still in his hair Sasuke blindly pulled Itachi down and wrapped tight around him. Itachi couldn't stop the satisfied smirk on his face or the soft aching love in his heart for the beautiful love in his arms.
Sasuke
