Better Love

Hey~ I'm writing another chapter today. I still can't get Itachi's face right.

I'm writing this at 4:45 AM, the same day! The past two chapters and this one, I haven't rounded the time to the nearest 5. I actually start at those time's and I don't even mean to XD.

Through the time it takes me to write this chapter, the review's, fave's, and alert's I've gotten are from;

DawnthePurpleBunny for the Alert/Review (I'm glad I made you feel special~ x3)

TamaHaruFan for the Alert

Rell for the fave

mishy1 for the Alert

MiKniTeBlueMooN for the Idea(s)/Review (Thank you for your kind words~:3)

zoebeansmommy for the Alert

Thank you all~!

Disclaimer; I don't own Naruto. I haven't watched the anime in over a year nor have I read a single full chapter of the manga. Let alone own Naruto. I now only read fanfic's and write this one.

Now that that's all out of the way; I can begin the chapter.

Hope you enjoy~

Chapter 3

It was Saturday and school was optional, so Naruto decided to skip it after hearing the pleads of his older lover Itachi. The two had spent all day together cuddling on the couch watching TV, going for a few walks, and just taking a lazy day forgetting the events of yesterday and last night. The elder raven had been treating Naruto sweetly and gently again, like he always did whenever he made a 'slip-up'.

Now carrying some groceries and smiling happily the little ball of sunshine walked back home to make dinner after the nice day with his love.

As the blond opened the door he heard a familiar voice calling Itachi's name.

The boy dropped his smile when he walked through the door and saw Itachi on top of their friend Deidara on the couch. Naruto's face went blank, no emotion within his eyes and the smile he just had turned into a straight line while staring at the two.

A few moments went by when the other blond noticed Naruto and gave a shocked and sad expression. "N-Naruto… Um..." Itachi just continued to kiss Deidara's neck.

Naruto just looked ahead, walk forward, placed the groceries on the table, turned on his heel and headed back for the door. He paused, turning his head to nod at Deidara as a greeting and farewell and then he froze for a second.

The still expressionless boy took three quick steps over to the couch, yanked Itachi's head up by his hair with one hand and flipped him off inches from the raven's face with the other.

Itachi looked shocked, seeing the new response from the blond. They stayed like that for a good ten seconds, not breaking eye contact, then Naruto threw the elder raven's head back down, turned on his heel, and walked out the door making sure to lock it behind him without taking the key.

A sign he wouldn't be back for a while.

Deidara and Itachi both looked shocked.

In Town

Naruto walked groggily through town. This was the first time that Itachi did that on the next day; he usually waits at least a week! 'God, I'm pathetic. Why am I still with him? Why won't he leave my mind?' While thinking Naruto suddenly had a sharp pain is his head. The same pain he get's whenever he thinks of leaving Itachi.

Whenever he starts realizing how horrid the man is.

The blond hunched over in pain in the middle of the sidewalk, though no one took notice. No one but Naruto's few friends thought he was worth noticing.

Clinging to his head in pain the now crying boy heard ringing and screaming, and perhaps words in the back of his mind being spoken to him very panicked. He couldn't make out words the though due to them being lost within the swirls of other sounds. They seemed familiar though, and then he remembered this situation happening on other occasions and those same words darting through his head.

The street lights were flashing rapidly, the footsteps of other's seemed to make as loud of a crash as giants, and the buildings looked as if they had turned into spiraling paint and bouncing jelly.

Every person around him was spinning, laughing, pointing, and smirking at his pain. He had no idea why though. He heard they're laughs and mocking as loud as a speaker next to his head, he clung to his head with one hand and his side with the other, pulling himself closer and closer together as though he was trying to sink into the cement ground below him.

After this pain went too long, he shut his mind down. He went into a sea of black, wondering if he'll ever come out this time.

He did.

A while later he found himself in the oh-so familiar room of his childhood friend Sasuke. Naruto sat up, clinging to his head as a sharp pain shot through, and looked around to make sure of where he was. He tried to recap his memories, tried to figure out just how he got there, but he couldn't. All he remembered was walking home back to Itachi's, getting to the door, then black. 'Just what in hell's name happened?' The confused boy looked around again trying to search through his memories, though still drawing a blank.

The familiar raven then walked through the door with a slightly worried look of his face, and a lightly steaming bowl on a tray in his hands.

"Ah, you're awake, thank goodness." As Naruto sat up Sasuke set the tray down on the blond's lap gently revealing what was ramen in the bowl.

Naruto smiled rather weakly. "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Sasuke sat down on a chair next to the bed as a calm silence rang through the room and Naruto slurped a few of the noodles up. The raven decided to break the silence.

"So, how are you?"

Naruto replied rather quietly, which was rare. "I'm fine."

A few more moments of silence rang through the room, and then the blond looked over and saw Sasuke had a slightly pained look on his face. Just as Naruto was about to say something the raven stood up and placed a hand on the boys' forehead.

Naruto, for a reason he didn't quite know, blushed slightly at the contact. Perhaps the reason was because Sasuke didn't do things like this too often unless he knew something was wrong.

After a few moments the raven took his hand away and walked out of the room. The blond questioned why he was slightly disappointed at the loss of contact but shrugged it off by slurping up another mouthful of noodles.

The younger raven walked back in with a wet cloth in hand, leaned over, and dabbed it over Naruto's face gently. Another small blush crept up onto the blond's cheeks, though he still didn't know the reason. Once Sasuke was done he placed the cloth on his desk next to the bed, still not talking.

Sasuke then got up, walking towards the door he quietly said "If you need anything just call me, when you're done the food just put the dishes on the desk." He then walked out.

So if Naruto knew this didn't happen before, he wondered to himself why it felt like this had happened on numerous occasions.

Chapter 3 End

And, it's short again;-; I'm sorry.

I feel like I've been writing these chapters too short! IDK why… Derp.

Oh well.

I hope you liked this chapter~ I still can't get Itachi's face right! DX

If you would please, please, please review. I love hearing from you so I would be super grateful if you would take a little time to review~

The next chapter should be up eventually, but I suddenly felt a little weird while writing this chapter half-way through and I'm starting to fear that it may be another case or writer's block. I hope not though!

I have writer's block still on my other story, I don't need it on this one!

I hope you enjoyed this chapter, sorry I make Itachi look like a manipulative ass, but the story wouldn't quite be the same otherwise… I'm finishing this up at 6:05 PM. (Once again, did NOT round off to the nearest 5 XD)

~See you soon~

~Kaze~
