Chapter 11: Teasing

Sasuke couldn't believe that his sadist brother was in front of him…with NARUTO!! He shot a death glare towards his brother who was looking at him impassively.

"Wha…what are you doing here Itachi-nii?" Naruto stuttered as he gazed at the pokerfaced but still sexy Uchiha.

Sasuke who is panicking and screaming inside his head tugged Naruto's shirt coolly and asked. "Naruto aren't you going to introduce us?"

Sensing no response from the still star struck blonde, Sasuke groaned as he extended his hand towards the new comer. "Hi, I'm Shino. And you are?"

Itachi looked down at Sasuke's out-stretched hand and glanced back at his scheming baby brother who's giving him his trade mark say-something-and-you're-dead look. He was quite amused at his little brother's pathetic little scheme.

A small twitch of his lips made Sasuke cringed.

Blackmail material.

"I'm Uchiha Itachi, Naruto's fiancé." A smile broke off from Itachi's lips that many fan girls started swooning over. It's not everyday that you see the most powerful man in Japan smile like that unless his order of assassination was carried out perfectly without a hitch.

Sasuke smiled forcedly and gritted his teeth. "Oh, really? The dobe hadn't told me he had a fiancé. Are you sure, you are not mistaken?" 'Asshole'

"Oh I'm quite sure. If I remember it clearly my banana-pie asked me to marry him when he was just a cute chubby kid…of course after he decided he couldn't marry Spiderman." Itachi put his finger on his chin thoughtfully as he stares off at the sky remembering the scene.

Naruto who had just woken up from his trance stammered and waved both his hands at Itachi, exclaiming that he was just a child back then and he didn't know what it was to marry someone.

Itachi almost hugged the blonde but instead, to save his pride and dignity as an Uchiha, proceeded to pinch Naruto's cheek. "How cute. You still blush like a girl, princess."

Sasuke groans and shook his head as he remembered quite clearly the event that ruined his dream wedding with the blonde.

…And the day he deemed his brother as his ultimate rival.

Yes, it was an awful day.

A dreadful day that ironically was, as he recalls, a beautiful day. The sun had been shining, birds chirping and cool breeze was playing with fallen leaves.

A day when, he and Naruto were playing outside the Uchiha's mansion as Itachi watched over them in silent amusement. Naruto was very cute back then, with his big blue eyes and chubby cheeks, he was pinch-worthy indeed.

Actually, in one occasion he actually thought the blonde was a female when they were first introduced.

They were mere children at that time but with his immature heart, Sasuke knew that Naruto was the one, whatever the blonde sex would be, be it a girl or a boy.

Yes, he was quite smitten with the blonde.

Therefore, that day he decided to make it known to the blonde his plan of marriage, so he asked the dobe casually whom he would marry when he grew up hoping the blonde would choose him and then…HAHAHA then he would make the blonde promise that they would marry someday. He would hold that oath till they grow! Naruto would be his!!

Nyahahahaha!!

Then all his great evil plans ended when the blonde answered at him with a large toothy grin.

"I'm going to marry Spiderman!"

He stood there gaping, jaw dropped and eyes wide as saucers while the blonde stood in front of him smiling innocently oblivious to Sasuke inner turmoil.

Sasuke's imaginary kingdom crumbled as a tsunami ate away his hopes and dreams in one big gulp.

He berated the blonde for being a dobe. He even argued that Spiderman was an insect but the blonde didn't believe him. They kept arguing that until the blonde almost cried out when Sasuke in his frustration grabbed the blonde's arm tightly.

Itachi walked towards the two and scolded Sasuke lightly as the blonde attached his body on his right leg as he continued to glare daggers at Sasuke while keeping his welling tears at bay.

It was such a cute sight if only Naruto didn't open his mouth and said the most heart wrecking statement that struck Sasuke's young heart.

"If I can't marry Spiderman then I'll marry Itachi-nii instead." Naruto looked up at Itachi who's wearing a slight shock on his face. "You'd marry me right, Tachi-nii?"

Recovering from shock Itachi ruffled Naruto's blonde hair and smiled down at the cute five year old boy. "Of course I'll marry you."

And that was Sasuke's first heart ache. He learned then there that life was cruel but Itachi was crueler.

Then on that very day, the scheming, murder-plotting, sociopath Sasuke was born.

Sasuke cringed at the memory and almost shed a tear as he remembers the last image of an innocent him.

The sweet, loving, cute-as-hell innocent him, was gone.

Sounds of porcelain cup jolted Sasuke back from reality and frowned when his gaze fell on the two men having tea.

What the hell?!

"Oh, so you finally snapped out of your day dream, Shino-san…that was such a long day dream that we decided to have some tea while you get carried away by your fantasy." Itachi smiled at Sasuke while he poured some tea to Naruto's cup as the blonde made himself comfortable with his seat.

"Yeah, teme I thought you were in a coma or something. Good thing 'Tachi-nii has some tea tables and chairs ready for times like this."

Sasuke growled as Itachi gave Naruto a million dollar smile as the blonde giggled and gushes. He stalked towards the two and grabbed Naruto's hand.

"Why are you here?" He glares at Itachi who matches him with the same glare.

"Well I was looking for my cute little brother who ran away from all his responsibilities…"

Naruto made a choking sound and leaned forward towards Itachi. "What?! Sasuke's missing?"

Itachi gave a small smirk on Sasuke's way and turned his face toward the blonde. "Don't worry Banana-pie, my little brother must be somewhere whoring his way into a women's skirt. He's such a playboy you know…fucking anyone, anywhere…or maybe he's with his childhood sweetheart and may be fucking as we speak."

Sasuke fisted his hand tightly as he recalls his perfect murder plot for Itachi's assassination. What did he do to nature to receive such a bastard of a brother?

A loud thud broke the death glares between brothers and Sasuke was a bit taken aback when he realized that the dobe was standing, head bowed and seems to be restraining his emotion. "Sasuke…Sasuke's not here. He'll never come here. He'll never…"

Itachi placed his hand atop the blonde's and patted it softly.

"I'm sorry Itachi-nii but I have to go…I'm…I don't feel well. Goodbye." With that the blonde rushes off not even waiting for the still stunned Sasuke, leaving the raven behind. Sasuke glared at his brother but bowed his head as he fled towards the agitated blonde while Itachi was left, amused at the sudden turn of event.

Naruto slammed the door shut and buried himself on his blanket.

He couldn't believe that after all this years he was still affected when Sasuke was the topic.

Why? Why did it still affected him that much when he himself promised to forget the raven-haired man.

Why did it still make his stomach clench and his heart flutter?

Naruto buried his face more on his pillow as he tried to muffle the scream escaping from his lips. He pounded his fist on the bed in frustration.

Sasuke walked inside their room and shook his head when he saw a quivering lump on Naruto's bed. He sighed and stalked towards Naruto and touched his back…hopefully what he was touching is really the blonde's back.

"Dobe, what are you upset about?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto stopped trembling and peeped out from his blanket to glare at Sasuke. "Nothing."

"Dobe, there must be something. Unless you are jerking off inside that blanket after you've met your crush again. Then by all means continue what you are doing." Sasuke sneered.

Naruto hurriedly took the blanket off his body and glared at the smirking raven. A blush started to paint his face with embarrassment.

"I'm not jacking off, you bastard! PERVERT!" Naruto fervently retorted.

"Then what the hell is your problem?"

"I told you, nothing."

Sasuke gave an irritated sigh. "Dobe."

"…"

"Hn." Sasuke gave a loud sigh again and started to walk away when a sudden tug stopped him in his tracks. He glanced over his shoulder with a frowned at the blonde man holding on to the end of his shirt, face averted away from him.

"He's not like that…he's not like that…"

"Huh? Who?"

"Sasuke's not like that."

Sasuke frowned. "The bastard?"

Naruto suddenly leaped towards the unsuspecting raven and growled. Sasuke effortless caught the blonde in his arms but the sudden impact made him lose his footings. He tried not to fall but his weight together with the blonde's was too much even for him.

He tried to maneuver his body so that he might fall on to something soft. Luckily, his bed is only a few feet away from the blonde's bed.

With a heap, they fell on Sasuke's bed, Naruto atop the raven. Sasuke was in pleasure paradise right now.

Naruto was straddling Sasuke, oblivious to the fact that the raven's both hands were on his hips their faces an inch away from each other.

… if only the blonde wasn't supporting an enraged expression and clutching at his collar like a mad man.

"Take that back! Sasuke is not a bastard!!"

Sasuke made a puzzled look.

What the hell?!

"HUH?! What the hell dobe."

Naruto aimed a fist at Sasuke, intent of punching the man if Sasuke wouldn't take back what he just said. "Take that back. Sasuke is not a bastard!

Huh?

Sasuke gave a bewildered look at Naruto. He wondered briefly what did Itachi gave to the blonde. The dobe must have been high on something.

"Huh?! The hell dobe. You always said he was a bastard!!"

Naruto clenched his fist tightly but restrained himself from punching the raven. He growled lowly.

"I…I'm the only one who can call him that. Don't you dare call my best friend names."

Heh.

Somehow Sasuke was feeling happy inside that the blonde was defending him, even though the reason was so demented.

Still it was nice.

"Dobe. What the hell?!"

Naruto suddenly broke off from his wild frenzy and looked down on his captive. He blushed at their very suggestive position. He hurriedly took off his hand from Sasuke's collar and rubbed his head in embarrassment. He gave an embarrass chuckle making the bed vibrate.

Sasuke willed his sudden discomfort as the blonde who was still oblivious that he was still sitting on Sasuke's precious treasure, not that the raven minded.

"Heh, sorry I snapped at you like that." Naruto apologized softly.

"Dobe…"

"Sorry, I just don't like anyone badmouthing Sasuke except me…"

Sasuke sighed and made himself comfortable under Naruto, he felt this would be a long talk. "I thought you didn't like him?"

"Well…he's a bastard after all…but he was my best friend too."

"You hate him but then you like him. That's stupid dobe." Sasuke sighed.

Naruto angrily planted his hands on both sides of Sasuke's head and hovered his face over Sasuke's. He growled a bit. "I'm not a dobe! My feelings aren't stupid!"

Sasuke smiled as Naruto's angry face and shot his hand towards the blonde's head. He gently pulled Naruto's head towards him.

Naruto unexpectedly obliged willingly and laid his head on the crook of Sasuke's neck and shoulder. He made himself comfortable on top of the raven while said raven patted his head affectionately. He purred with satisfaction.

A long pregnant pause ensued and was only broken after a few minutes when Naruto decided to talk.

Naruto snuggled more into Sasuke's warmth and snaked his arm around the man's waist and inhaled Sasuke's scent. "You want to know a secret?"

"Hmm?" Sasuke turned his head and grazed his lips on Naruto's hair. He too snaked his arms around the blonde's waist and hugged the blonde tightly to his body.

Naruto too turned his head to face the raven. He gave a loud sigh as Sasuke smiled and kissed the top of his nose affectionately. He gave a smile in return as he began tracing Sasuke's cheeks with his fingers. "I really thought you were the real Sasuke. When I saw Itachi I was afraid he'd take you away from me… again."

Sasuke's eyes widen and his hands froze.

Naruto's fingers gave a feathery touched on Sasuke's lips. "You really do look like him. The first time I saw you, you've reminded me of him. You sound the same; you say the same things…"

"But I thought you said that…"

"Hmm?"

Sasuke shook his head to clear his mind. He brushed his hand with his fingers and sigh. "Why didn't you say anything?"

"Because Shika and Kiba would worry. They always worry; they'd think that my bad past would resurface if I got close to you…"

"Dobe…I'm…I'm really…" Sasuke mentally berated himself from stuttering. This was his chance to admit his feelings, his true identity, his chance of sweeping the blonde off his feet and pounding him in the nearest mattress, which was conveniently beneath him.

The time had come to take what was rightfully his.

"But you know, I'm glad you're not the really Sasuke, cause Itachi would take you away and I don't like that. I don't want to be hurt no more."

"Dobe…I…"

"It hurts to be lied at."

Fuck!

That goes his only chance.

Bye…bye true identity…

Naruto snuggled closer to the raven oblivious to Sasuke's inner turmoil as the raven rotted away inside. Sasuke was no longer enjoying, not even giving a damn as Naruto snuggled closely and grazed his lips on his neck.

He was just lying stiffly as the blonde, in all innocence, molested him.

"Oh by the way Gaara wanted to meet you tomorrow."

God why do you hate me so much?
