Sasuke sighed and re-rolled his sleeves as he carried another box out in the hall to be picked up by the moving people. He set the box down and collapsed next to it wiping his forehead on his sleeve; he'd been packing for two days and still hadn't gotten half his stuff in boxes. The youngest Uchiha was already thoroughly exhausted.

Sasuke jumped a little when he felt his cell phone vibrate he got slowly to his feet and fished the object out of his pocket.

"Hello?" he greeted sulkily.

"Teme!" Naruto yelled happily while chuckling.

"That's not a proper greeting dobe, learn some manners!" Sasuke scolded heading in to his room to pack another box

"I've got plenty of manners asshole!" Naruto yelled back banging his fist against something and hurting himself. Sasuke sighed "What do you want Naruto?" he questioned eager to get off the phone and finish his packing. Naruto snorted

"To come over." he replied steadily.

Sasuke rubbed his temples urging patience to come upon him "Not today I'm busy packing." Sasuke said almost hitting the end button before Naruto shouted that he was already at the Uchiha driveway.

The Uchiha hit his head against the wall and let the blonde past the gate

Why...

Naruto's Orange car pulled in front of the house at break neck speed and hitting the breaks hard causing skid marks to litter half of the driveway.

Is this guy...?

The blonde excited the car throwing the keys to the valet man and threw open the doors running in to the mansion.

So...

Naruto entered his room crashing into his boxes tripping over supplies and face planting on the floor clutching his face in pain.

Stupid!

"Naruto?" Sasuke asked seeing as the blonde had recovered from his previous injury.

"Yeah?" the blonde replied sulkily as He sat up holding his injured nose. He didn't see the foot come at his face efficiently knocking him back into his previous predicament. Sasuke stood over him in his aura of darkness "Get. Out. Of my. House." he growled putting the blonde on his feet and pushing him toward the door.

"Stupid Teme! I was going to help you pack!" Naruto yelled indignantly only to have a rather large book thrown at his face. Sasuke snorted "I don't need your help." Naruto got really quiet.

"Sasuke look at your boxes..." He said incredously. Sasuke turned to look at the thin brown boxes holding his stuff together with masking tape and string. "What about them?" Sasuke deadpanned returning to his dresser to pack his trinkets.

Naruto sighed and rolled up his sleeves Picking up a box and re-packing it. "I've moved tons of times and I've never seen a box so badly packed in my life" He whispered clearly amused. Sasuke just let out a "hn" which was his silent definition of 'Fine you can help me pack..."

Naruto was an orphan so he spent most of his time moving from place to place and being put under the care of different guardians. The blonde had lived at a man named Kyubbis house for most of his adolescent years before he turned 18 and buying his own house with the large amount of funds his parents had left him when they died.

Sasuke could still remember Naruto coming to school with bruises and lacerations all over him. The blonde would always just smile and tell everyone he was fine and feed them bullshit excuses. When he and Sasuke were alone though he would cry he wouldn't say anything he would just cry and cry until it was time to go home.

The days Naruto spent the night at Sasuke's house were always his happiest.

Sasuke remembered one particular time when they were 12 they were at his house, and Itachi was babysitting them. After tons of arguing and wrestling they had decided on going to go to the hot springs.

Sasuke hid behind Itachi the entire time still mildly insecure about his changing body and waiting for Naruto to come out of the changing room. Itachi reached down and placed a towel around Sasuke hips kissing him gently. "Better?" he asked Sasuke nodded grinning widely. Itachi smiled and went to go see if Naruto was ready when the blonde burst out of the dressing room and cannon balled into the pool, Hooting and spraying water everywhere.

Sasuke eyebrow twitched when he and his towel got soaking wet. "What an idiot..." he snorted gathering himself and stepping into the hot pool of water letting out a relaxed sigh. He looked up when he realized Itachi wasn't following. "nii-san?" he questioned seeing Itachi serious face looking at the spot were Naruto was now splashing about. "Sasuke call Naruto over...".

Sasuke, getting extremely irritated when Naruto wouldn't come when the Uchiha called, dragged the blonde out of the pool, Naruto yelling and holding his towel tightly to cover up all of his body but his legs. Sasuke dumped the struggling blonde in front of his brother scoffing at Naruto's embarrassment. "Geez Naruto were both boys...there's nothing you have that I don't, you don't have to constantly cover yourself." he said scolding helping the blonde to his feet Just as Itachi came over to the pair.

Itachi smiled getting on his knees so he wouldn't be so tall in front of Naruto. The eldest Uchiha grasped one end of the towel. "May I see Naruto?" he asked soothingly when the blonde held his towel tighter around himself. Naruto shook his head and went to step away when Itachi ruffled his hair. "You don't have to be scared. I won't tell anyone anything you don't want me to okay?" he whispered Naruto looked suspicious but nodded.

Itachi took the towel and slid it down to Naruto hips. Sasuke gasped in horror at what he saw 'what the hell is this?' The top half of Naruto body was covered in scratches and deep red bite marks; he had big purple hand shaped bruises on his hips and smaller bruise like things on the place were his neck met his shoulder. All of which could be covered by a t-shirt.

Sasuke saw Itachi's face fill with disgust, then slowly turn to pity. But Sasuke could see he was still angry, hell sasuke was angry. "Naruto who-?" Sasuke's questioning was silenced by a look from Itachi as he ushered Naruto back into the pool, who immediately began splashing like nothing happened. Itachi just stood watching him "Sasuke?" Itachi looked down at his little brother whose fist were trembling in rage. Itachi sighed placing his hands on his little brother's shoulders. "There's something in life we just cant do anything about sasuke… If you want to help Naruto stay by his side and be there for him." Itachi deep voice soothed Sasuke's anger and they went back into the springs.

He never did find out exactly what happened to Naruto in that house. He wasn't sure he wanted to know. Sasuke looked at Naruto's happy face as he packed and repacked boxes.

He had listened to his brother's advice. He was always trying to make sure Naruto didn't get into nasty situations and protected him from harm. He also made sure the blonde got just above failing grades (a feat in itself) and Naruto had grown to live in the moment, and not in the past, he was grateful for every little thing life gave him.

I envy you Naruto...

"Ouch!" Naruto exclaimed as he cut his finger on a piece of tape, revealing a small red bead of blood residing on his thumb.

Naruto grimaced at it while Sasuke got to his feet tsking "give it here dobe..." he said casually snatching Naruto injured thumb away from him as Naruto mumbled. "I'm not a dobe you stupid t-" Naruto was stunned into silence, his mouth hanging open as Sasuke put his thumb in his mouth he licked at it gently before releasing it cleaning it off and patting it dry. He lightly placed a bandage on the tiny flesh wound. "Better?" Sasuke questioned noticing the blush on Naruto's face as the blonde nodded and looked down at his feet.

Sasuke stepped forward rustling the blonde's hair

Soft...

He slowly moving his hand downward to cup Naruto's cheek in his right hand rubbing his thumb across the whisker shaped marks residing there. "Sasuke?" Naruto choked blushing heavily as Sasuke leaned in pressing his lips firmly against the blondes.

Naruto's eyes bulged he took hold of the Uchiha's shoulders to steady himself. Sasuke stayed for a few seconds before pulling away. It was nothing like kissing Itachi, there was no fire, no heat pooling in his stomach, just pleasant warmth from kissing his best friend.

"Sorry." Sasuke said shortly pulling completely away to busy himself again with his boxes of things. After while he heard Naruto start to re-pack boxes again, and by the time it hit 8:00 they were done with everything but the sheets and pillows on the bed.

Sasuke looked at the empty expanse of the room he inhibited since childhood. He wouldn't really miss it but this is the place he first confessed to Itachi, it did hold some sentimental value for the Uchiha.

Sasuke sighed in relief as Naruto broke the several hour long awkward silences. "Do you have somewhere to go?" the blonde asked curiously Sasuke shrugged and brushed his black hair out of his eyes. "I'm going to find an apartment to rent somewhere probably" he said plopping down on his bed looking up surprised when Naruto sat down next to him.

Naruto cleared his throat "you could stay with me..." he said quietly Sasuke blinked surprised."What?" the Uchiha questioned Naruto looked up at the look on his best friends face and immediately back peddled.

"I mean just until you get your bearings is all! I don't want you somewhere unfamiliar! And I have an extra bedroom an all-but that doesn't really matter forget I ever s-"

Naruto was cut of again as Sasuke was on top of him pressing his lips viciously against the blondes. Naruto gasped allowing Sasuke to shove his tongue in his mouth fighting for dominance which Sasuke easily won proceeding to explore every inch of the blonde boy's mouth. Finally after what felt like an hour Sasuke released him with a final quick kiss still towering over Naruto on his hands and knees.

Dammit.

No matter how passionately he kissed Naruto he could never get the same effect as kissing his older brother. Every time he kissed Naruto he saw Itachi, and the guilty feeling that came with that, like he was betraying him.

Sasuke leaned down and placed his head on Naruto chest

Dammit...

He would never be able to erase the deep agonizing love he felt towards Itachi...it was woven painfully into every fiber of Sasuke's body. He belonged to him. Sasuke jumped slightly when Naruto put his hands around the raven squeezing him lightly. Sasuke listened to the ramen lovers rapid heart beat

But... .

Maybe it's possible to love Naruto also

xXxXxXx

Itachi looked up from his book feeling a heavy feeling of unease. He looked down at his watch, 8:15. He sighed and got up from his spot, it was just about time for him to take the water off the stove anyway. He set down the novel and walked to the fridge getting a glass of water. The Uchiha stumbled, dropping his glass as he felt another wave of unease overcome him.

He gagged and ran to the bathroom panting "ugh..." Itachi slapped a hand to his forehead feeling the wet stickiness of sweat

The hell...?

When he closed his eyes saw Sasuke, his Sasuke, putting his beautiful pink lips against Naruto's.

And then Itachi threw up.
