Brothers

Nightmares...

Drip...

Sasuke was following the noise.

Drip...

He was getting closer. He could feel it. Suddenly a door came in view. It was a large oak door. He wanted to enter...he had to. The noise was coming from behind it. He reached out and grabbed the handle in a firm grip. He pushed it down and the door opened with a loud click that seemed to echo in his mind.

He swallowed thickly steeled himself and then stepped inside.

Blood...blood was everywhere in the small room. It was dripping from the ceiling, and from the walls in a steady flow. In the center there was a body. Sasuke stepped closer...his legs were shaking...this smell...it was awful...a nose wretching stench like pure acid.

He reached the body and stared down on it. It seemed that it was the source of all the blood. But that was impossible. He crouched near the figure and he could feel his stomach tighten painfully as he put his trembling hand on the blood-soaked shoulder. He breathed in deeply a few times and then pushed the body forward gently.

His eyes widened as he stared in his brother's lifeless orbs. His face was pale, ashen like the dead.

'Nii-san!'

Sasuke screamed as he sat up in his bed sweating and heaving heavily. He gripped at his chest and panted as he had been running for hours. 'Just a dream' Just as he started to calm down a sudden image in his mind made him bolt up and he ran out of the room.

'Nii-san' His brother's limp body in his father's arms, his pale face just like in that dream...'No'...Tears started to well up in his eyes as he teared the shoji door open with a loud and desperate cry.

'Nii-san!'

All of a sudden a pair of soft yet strong arms encircled him from behind. 'That's enough now dear. Calm down.' Came his mother's soothing voice. Sasuke was shaking and turned around jerkily to face Mikoto. His eyes were wide and frightened.

'Kaa-san...yesterday...Tou-san and N-Nii-san...he was...I saw it and-'

He would have countinued babbling but his mother placed a finger on his small mouth gently hushing him with the gesture. 'It's alright Sasuke. Itachi's fine now. I will explain everything.' She stroked the little boy's black spikes as she spoke. 'Come to the kitchen. You should eat something...you're too pale.'

'Kaa-san?' He wishpered eyes large and pleading. 'Can...can I see him?'

'You should eat first, then I'll expl-'

'Please...'Sasuke bit down on his lower lip and he looked like he was going to cry. His mother regarded him for a few moments, then with a heavy sigh she nodded her head. 'Alright Sasuke but just for a very short time. He needs to rest' The little boy nodded eagerly. Mikoto smiled a little and stood up. 'Go.' She pushed on his small shoulders gently.

'Hai.' Sasuke turned towards his destination and walked over to his brother's room with hurried footsteps. He swallowed and pushed on the door quietly. For a moment his dream flashed through his mind and he sqeezed his eyes shut to bock out the image of a bloody Itachi. Seconds passed and the boyed forced his eyes to open again. A sigh. There was no blood in the room.

He hurried in and and kneeled near his brother's futon instantly. He was pale...really pale. But he was breathing. 'Nii-san...' He leaned over him and watched his chest rise and fall slowly under the blanket. His eyes were closed but Sasuke could see them moving beneath the eyelids. His mouth was slightly open as if the air through his nose wasn't enough. A heavy flush was visible accross his cheeks making the rest of the skin on his face even paler.

'He has a fever.' As a reflex Sasuke put his small hand on Itachi's brow and his dark eyes widened. He was burning. Sasuke heard a small noise and saw his brother turning his head into his touch. The little boy blushed a little and removed his hand immediately. Itachi whimpered at the loss of contact. The smaller Uchiha was speechless. He has never seen his brother this vulnerable before. He was shuddering now and his breathing became ragged.

His lips were forming words Sasuke couldn't understand so he leaned closer to his brother's face. 'S-Sasuke...' The word was barely a whisper. 'Is he thinking of me?' He felt happy confused and embarrassed at the same time. Why was his brother saying his name like that? At a time like this...'I'm here Nii-san' He tried to reassure him and he saw Itachi's hand grope the air searching blindly for the source of the voice.

Sasuke swallowed nervously and grabbed the pale hand gently staring at the long slender fingers that curled around his small fist. Itachi then pulled weakly on the confused boy's hand and Sasuke couldn't help but to go along with it uncertainly. Their faces were inches apart and the spiky haired boy could feel his brother's hot breath on his now red cheeks.

'Nii-san?'

Sasuke could feel his own fastly beating heart in his ears. His breathing quickened as their noses bumped into each other. Sasuke closed his eyes tightly. He knew somehow that this was wrong. The bitter feeling in the pit of his stomach told him so but that was soon washed away by a new rush of emotions. He wanted to get closer. Closer to that warmth. Closer to the person he thought he would never be worthy of. Their lips nearly touched when Sasuke heard the noise of a door opening.

He jerked away from his brother and found himself staring into black orbs similar to his own. 'Sasuke...your food is going to get cold.' The little boy tried to calm himself not daring to look behind him any more. He could just pray that his mother didn't see anything about what occured a few minutes ago.

He nodded his head and then stood up shakily following his mother into the kitchen trying to look casual but as the adrenaline was leaving his body he felt weak and a bit dizzy. He quickly sat down at the table and hoped his mother won't notice his slightly jerky motions and uncoordinated movements.

The food looked really inviting now. Grabbing his chopsticks he reached for his plate. 'What happened Kaa-san? Why is Nii-san sick?' Mikoto sat next to him and started to speak quietly.

'His Sensei Kekka-san brought him home yesterday.' Sasuke stopped chewing. So that was the third voice he heard. 'He said the mission was far more dangerous than they'd thought. The change of temperature and humidity not to mention the constant raining caused problems.'

Sasuke arched a dark eyebrow. It was common knowledge that Water Country wasn't the best place to carry out missions in but shinobi especially chuunin should be able to handle it. 'One of the enemy nins used a special poison fog jutsu and the team got hit by it. Since Kekka-san is an accomplished medic-nin, he was able to stop the poison from affecting his student's body before it could cause permament damage...' Sasuke stopped eating and became still like a statue.

A few years in the future he will have to face similar scenarios during missions. He shuddered involuntary. 'On their way back near the borders of Fire-Country they were attacked by rogue-nins and Itachi's two teammates were knocked unconscious.' His mother paused. 'Itachi's current condition is due to the over-use of the Sharingan, exhaustion, and the after-effects of the poison he breathed in.'

Sasukes eyes got large and he had a pleading look in them. 'But...b-but he will be ok...won't he?' His voice was barely a whisper. Mikoto smiled reassuringly at him. 'Of course he will be. It's not that serious. He should feel fine in two days or so.' Sasuke let out a shaky breath. '...and Sasuke' His mother touched his back gently. 'Don't scare us like that again' Sasuke blushed instantly.

He knew what his mother was referring to. Yesterday when he saw his brother's unconscious form he fainted like a little girl. 'We were worried.' She stroked his raven locks. '...Don't be embarrassed dear. I know it was quite a shock...' She cleared her throat and Sasuke could see a light shade of pink crawing its way to her cheeks.

'After all I was the one who screamed first...' She laughed nervously. Sasuke managed to smile a little. Finally Mikoto stood up and dusted off her apron. 'There will be an important clan meeting this afternoon. It's possible that we won't be home until tomorrow morning.' Sasuke frowned but nodded. He stood up as well, bowing slightly and made his way towards his room. Before he could reach the door his mother's voice called after him. 'Take care of your brother Sasuke.'

Sasuke froze for a second and closed hi eyes briefly. 'Hai.' He anwered and then walked out from the kitchen with determined steps letting out a small sigh.

He was burning from the inside out. His muscles felt so heavy he could barely lift his arm. He wanted to open his eyes but seemed unable to. So instead of relying on his sight he took in the different smells. He was in his room. He was sure. But how did he get here?

The last thing he remebered was when he and his Sensei reached the Gates of Konoha with his teammates on tow. 'I must've passed out.' He was angry. He couldn't remain standing because of a simple poison jutsu. 'Pathetic' Was his last thought before sleep claimed him again.

Sob.

Crying. Who was crying? He tried to turn towards the source of the soft noise but it seemed to be coming from everywhere. 'Nii-san.' Now he heard Sasukes voice. Weak. Pleading.

'Nii-san...'

'Sasuke!'

He answered and tried to search for the little boy. 'Nii-san!' Sasuke was screaming now. 'Nii-san..help me...where are you?' Itachi winced. Every syllabe hurt his ears. The voice was ringing in his mind painfully. 'Sasuke! Answer me!'

Since there was no reply, he started running. He didn't know where but it was better than standing there helplessy in the darkness.

'Aniki...' A sob. 'Aniki?' Sasuke hardly ever called him that unless he was extremely angry or very...yery sad. An interesting pair...anger and sadness. Finally he could see something. A little source of light. A small boy with black spiky hair was sitting there hugging his little knees to his chest tightly.

'Sasuk-'

'He did it...how could he? He's Nii-san...what has changed?'

He whimpered quietly.

'What happened? W-was it my fault...? Mine? Why?...Him...the shadows...the moonlight...I could see him...' Sob. 'It was his face...h-his...Nii-san...'

Itachi just stared as if in a trance. He couldn't move. His eyes twitched as the little boy looket up slowly at him. Tears were glistening in his bottomless dark eyes. They watch each other as Sasuke's eyes began to change.

Itachi held his breath. The black orbs became icy blue just like the sky in summer time. Then they were blazing red with slitted pupils. It changed again. The pupils remained the same but the eyse were glowing in a sick shade of yellow that sent chills through his body. He then stiffened as he found himself staring at the Sharingan in his brother's eyes. But something was off. This wasn't a normal Sharingan. It had a form of a windmill. He suddenly felt the urge to run. Now. But he couldn't move. Couldn't move a muscle.

'Sasuke..' A whisper.

His little brother lunged at him with a twisted half-crazy expression on his face.

A scream.

'You killer!'

Itachi opened his eyes breathing hard as droplets of sweat trailed down from his pale forhead. Legs tangled in the sheets his body shuddered as he suddenly felt cold. A swallow. He was still in pain though it was much better now.

The after-effects of his nightmare left him trembling slightly as he closed his eyes. He very rarery dreamed but when he did the the content and effects were always the same. An unconfortable lump in his throat and a sick feeling in his stomach that made him more silent and distant than usual.

He pushed his now sweaty bangs out of his eyes. These dreams were strange. Sasuke accusing him all the time for something...something that made him lost his mind. He shuddred again as he thought back at the expression on his little brother's face. But that Sharingan...he's never seen that before. It seemed different. It felt different. Maybe he should ask Shisui about it later.

Sasuke knew one thing for sure. He couldn't cocentrate on the scrolls any longer. It took him two hours to realize that. When he went through the same kanji for the fourth time he decided to stop the whole thing altogether.

'I should go and check on Nii-san'

He flushed as he thought back of what happened earlier in his brother's room. They were so close. Too close. It felt safe and comforting and...he felt his blush deepen...exciting in a strange way. It was similar to the feeling he use to feel when he is alone in his room early in the morning and nowone watches. He buried his hands in his hair in fustration and tried to will himself calm.

Deep breaths. 'I promised Kaa-san I'd take care of Nii-san.' His brows furrowed in determination. 'And I will, no matter wha-' His monologue was by a loud ear ringing noise of a lightning crash. Sasuke jerked sharply and then whimpered in surprise.

He loathed thunderstorms. Absolutely hated them. They were too loud and scary and they also made them afraid. He hated being afraid. Fright meant weakness. An Uchiha doesn't have doesn't need a weakness.

He sighted and made his way towards the kitchen. He bit his lip every time a lightning crashed.

Itachi loved storms. Especially thunderstorms. Theye were beautiful. He believed storms represented the fury of nature. Hatred. Anger. Freedom. Power. So much power. Nobody can stop the storm. No matter how much they want to.

Itachi sometimes wished he could be the storm.

Sasuke pushed the shoji door open hesitantly and peeked in the dark room. 'Nii-san.' He whispered to the darkness. 'Are you awake?'

'Yes.' Came the familiar firm voice.

Sasuke let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding. 'Are you feeling better? Kaa-san said you would...I brought you tea and cold water too...I promised I'd take care of-'

A bone wretching noise of the thunderstorm outside made everything in Sasuke's hand drop to the ground with a loud shatter as the boy jerked in surprise and fear. The cups and the small tea pot were spawled on the floor of Itachi's room in tiny peaces.

The moon gave enough light for the older Uchiha to watch his little brother standing there his whole body shaking black eyes wide with fear. Sasuke would have tried to get on his knees to pick up the remainings of the china cups had his legs not trembeled this much.

He swallowed hard and spoke. 'Uh..Nii-san...I-I'm sorry' His voice was shaking. 'I should...I mean I s-shouldn't have-'

'Sasuke.'

He looked at his brother. He was such a disappointment. He couldn't even bring damn cups from the kitchen to Itachi's room without screwing up somehow. Pathetic.

'Are you still afraid of thunderstorms?'

Sasuke winced and closed his eyes. Not telling the truth would be futile. Itachi knew anyway. He never managed to hide his emotions from him.

'...H-hai.'

Itachi sighted and mumbled something incoherent. Sasuke looked outside through the window and tried to brace himself to clean up then spend the rest of the night alone in his room with two pillows on his head. Just when he was about to move he heard his brother speek quietly.

'You can stay here if you want.'

Sasuke couldn't believe his ears. He..he's letting him?...Stay...The little boy couldn't see from the joy he felt as he jumped over the mess on the floor he'd made towards his brother. The older Uchiha forbid him two years ago to sleep in his bed like he used to when he had a nightmare or there was a thunderstorm. "You're not a baby any more" - he said back then and the new rule one night made Sasuke cry in front of his door curled up on the floor since he wouldn't let him in.

All the unpleasant memories forgotten Sasuke got under the blankets hastily and immediately curled up around his brother's warm body. Their legs tangled, Sasuke rested his spiky head under Itachi's chin breathing in his unique scent. He really missed this. The older sibling put his arms hesitantly around Sasuke's back. It's been too long since he held Sasuke this close.

This was the last time.

Just...

Just this once.

Waking up from another unpleasant dream Itachi struggled to calm his rapid heartbeat and his heavy breathing. Sweat made his dark bangs stick to his forhead. Those dreams...just wouldn't leave him alone. Sasuke was crying again...sobbing...then shouting like a madman at him. He called him a killer...murderer. That pain in his eyes...

Itachi tightened his hold on the small frame of his brother and tried to sleep again.

Sasuke could feel something was wrong. He felt something strange in the lower part of his body. He felt hot and sweaty and...just...ah...friction. It felt delicious. He didn't know what he was rubbing against but it was too good to stop now.

'Sasuke! What do you think you're doing!'

The voice was harsh whisper full of surprise, a hint of anger and...embarrassment? Sasuke opened his sleepy eyes his sight still blurry. Itachi was looking at him, his eyes glowing.

'Nii-san?...aghh...'

He whimpered as his brother moved his leg slightly between his thighs. The older Uchiha tried to pull his leg away from that warm sinful place but Sasuke grabbed his dark T-shirt, moving even closer sqeezing his thighs to trap the leg there.

'Nii-san...I...I feel...please...'

His eyes were shut tightly, a heavy blush fanned his pale cheeks and his breaths were uneven. Itachi was stunned. He couldn't move. He just stared at the little boy who was most likely experiencing physical pleasure for the first time. Itachi wanted to pull away. He needed to.

They are brothers.

Sasuke moaned softly. He was so beautiful. His cheeks flushed like that his expression twisted in a grimace of pleasure his small pants warm and moist on his collarbone. Sasuke pressed even closer his movements now desperate hips pushing and grinding against his brother's slender leg.

'Ahh...what...this..nngh...Nii-san...w-what's happenin-ah...'

Itachi closed his eyes. It wouldn't matter... he's already let things gone too far. He groped for Sasuke's bottom and pulled him even closer so their stomachs were pressed tightly against each other. Sasuke cried out softly and buried his face in Itachi's chest to muffle the noises that tore out from his throat unwillingly.

He could feel it. Something was building in the pit of his stomach, the pleasure unbeliavable. Just..ahh..a little... more...He suddenly found the right angle and his spine spasmed his body twisting against his will so he held onto Itachi for dear life. The world was spiraling around him madly. As he came down whimpering from the bliss he didn't know existed until now he could feel his brother's arms shaking slightly around him.

Itachi was trembling as he tried to restrain himself. Yes closed his eyes and bit his lower lip as he attempted to pry Sasuke away from his body. The younger sibling felt the shifting and looked up. 'Nii-san.' Swallow. 'What w-was that-'

'I think you should leave now Sasuke.'

'L-leave?'

His eyes got large. 'P-please no! I don't know what that was...b-but it felt good. B-better than anything...a-and I want you t-to feel the same. I..I want to make you feel g-good Nii-san.' Itachi sighted his eyes opened and Sasuke could see clear dismissal in them.

'Sasuke-'

'No...no...Kaa-san always said you make the one y-you love nice..and..and..happy!' His voice was desperate now trying to prove his logic. 'Nii-san please-'

He couldn't finish his plea because Itachi pushed on him roughly and than rolled on the top of his small frame. He looked up and saw that his brother shut his eyes tightly again showing his unnaturally long dark eyelashes. He was fighting some kind of inner battle Sasuke could tell.

'Sasuke...you-'

He never finished his sentence because Sasuke shifted his hips to get in a more comfortable position brushing against something warm and hard in the process. The response was immediate. Itachi roughly pushed his thin legs wider apart setting more firmly between them. Kissing and nipping on the soft skin of Sasuke's neck he started to move his hips.

Sasuke felt dizzy. The sensations were wonderful. His small body was rocking back and forth on the futon with the rocking motions of his brother's hips. The friction was painful and pleasurable at the same time due to his previous orgasm.

'Ahh...'

The rubbing motions transformed into strong jerky thrusts.

'-m sorry...'

He heard his brother mumble into his neck as he shifted the pale legs higher on his hips to get a better angle.

'What?...nngh...N-nii-san...'

'Shhh..'

A palm was placed firmly on the litte boy's mouth as Itachi panted softly into his ear. He didn't want to hear him. Nor did he want to acknowledge what they were doing just now. But how can something so wrong feel this good? Sasuke felt heavenly beneath him...they fit together perfectly...like two missing pieces of a puzzle.

He quickened his pace even more, not wanting not being able to stop now. With his eyes still closed he kissed his hand where Sasukes small mouth would have been and with a soft grunt and one last thrust of his hips he shuddered.

Itachi tried to catch his breath as he slowly slid his palm away from Sasuke's face. His eyes fluttered open and looked down at the little boy beneath him who was still panting slightly. He then pushed a few stubborn raven spikes away from those beautiful dark eyes and stroked his still blushing cheek with one thumb.

'Sasuke' He whispered. 'You musn't tell about this to anyone.'

Sasuke blinked. 'W-was this something wrong t-to do?'

Yes.

'No.'

'Then..why..-'

'Will you do this for me Sasuke?'

Dark eyes lit up. 'Of course! I...I'd do anything for you Nii-san!'

Itachi smiled a little then turned to one side hugging the small boy to his chest tightly. Sasuke was overjoyed. He now has a secret with his brother nobody nows about!

Minutes passed and Sasuke felt sleepiness overtake his senses and after snuggling his spiky head in his brothers chest he fell asleep to the comforting heartbeat of the person he admired...loved the most.

Itachi wrapped one arm around the small shoulders and put his chin on the top of the raven spikes. He loved his hair. Loved his scent. His voice. His eyes. Especially when they were fixed on him. There wasn't a thing he didn't love about Sasuke.

But he should've known better. And even if it feels right it's still wrong in the eyes of the world. And even if Sasuke keeps this to himself questions will arise later on...questions he'd rather not answer to. With a sigh he closed his eyes and hoped that maybe this time he won't be dreaming about Sasuke.

The brothers were asleep on the futon tangled in each others limbs unaware of the disapproving narrowed eyes of Uchiha Fugaku.
