I'm So Sick

"I'm going to be late…" Sasuke chocked out ignoring the hot water falling onto his head. Not that this had never happened before. "I've got school." He added trying to find some way of getting out of this.

"Then you'll be late." Itachi replied grabbing the younger male's wrist and holding it against the cold tile.

Sasuke let his body rest against it. The mixture of Itachi's body pressed against his and the hot water falling on them both in the shower was making it way to hot in there. And he didn't particularly feel like getting hit so he complied this time instead of using words he knew would get him hit. That and he was too tired to try right now. He only had about two hours of sleep since the he'd heard that message last night.

It didn't hurt as much this time. He guessed it was due to the water that was making their bodies so slick. That didn't make either of the boys less hard.

Itachi reached around and closed his hand around Sasuke who whimpered a little in response.

For some time now his body had learned to act on its own. When touched it would responded. Itachi had even trained his body to act as he wanted. Sasuke considered that maybe after all this time of dealing with pain, he'd become a bit of a masochist. That would surely explain why at times he couldn't keep his mouth shut. His body hadn't only become used to the abuse, but it had begun to like it. That itself made Sasuke want to gag.

A moan escaped his lips louder then he wanted it to be.

He not only heard but felt Itachi chuckle against him. "Enjoying yourself, Outoto?" He sounded out of breath. It was only at times like that that Sasuke could really grasp that even Itachi was human.

"He's not here again?" Sakura commented noticing how Naruto was staring at the empty table where he always sat.

"Maybe he's sick." Ino suggested in an attempt to cheer up the blonde who looked like he was gonna explode any second.

"Do you think I scared him?" Naruto asked. "Ugh, do I come off to strong?!" He asked the two females.

"N-no of course not!" Sakura objected, although part of her wanted to agree.

"Why are you talking like he's your boyfriend?" Ino asked seemingly unbothered by Naruto's odd behavior. "Let me guess, do you like the Uchiha?"

"No!" Naruto objected. "Well, yea, but y'know like…not that way…and…I mean not that…he isn't, but…he is it's just…that I…"

"Oh my God." Sakura commented. "You like him!"

"I do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"You do too you big baby!" Ino exclaimed interrupting the argument that had gotten louder and louder by the second and had the whole class staring at their table.

Naruto looked around. Luckily the class only heard the "Do nots" and "Do toos" part of the argument so they had no idea what they were fighting about. He sat down laid his head on the table waiting for everyone's curiosity to die down a little bit.

-XxX-

"And now you know why just don't try jumping off your roof over a fence and into your neighbor's pool." Naruto commented to Kiba who was now on crutches. "You fall short and end up breaking your leg."

"Hey, I got Fifty bucks out of it so don't you start!" Kiba objected.

"And $50 was worth the risk of you breaking your neck?" Shino asked.

"Hell ya!"

"I have no sympathy for you." Shikamaru mumbled then added something about hanging out with a bunch of jackasses.

That was when Naruto bumped into someone and fell back. "Ow! Hey will ya watch where your going!" He complained then looked up at the man he'd run into and froze. He'd be damned if he couldn't guess who this reminded him of.

"Uh, Nii-san…don't you have to get to work." That voice confirmed it. Sasuke had walked up to the man and had given him a small somewhat hesitant smile.

The man who Naruto assumed was Itachi since his calling spree last night was glaring a storm at Naruto and when he looked at Sasuke his glare didn't seem to falter.

"Please tell me, you don't talk to trash like that." Itachi said a low and rather scary tone in his voice.

Sasuke seemed unbothered by it and gave Itachi a smile Naruto guessed was completely fake. You couldn't smile at someone who would glare at you like that.

"Of course not, Aniki." He lied straight to his face.

Naruto felt shocked to say the least. But although Itachi gave Sasuke a look he guessed meant that Sasuke lie hadn't gone unnoticed, he faked a smile of his own before walking away without another word.

Sasuke released a heavy breath his fake smile gone replaced with a half frown. "Be more careful, Naruto." He commented before also walking away from there.

-XxX-

"I need to talk to you." Naruto started simply sitting down next to the brunette.

Sasuke looked up from his math homework that he couldn't concentrate on anyway to the blonde distraction that was only distracting him from staring at a blank sheet of loose leaf paper.

"Last night I called every number under the name Uchiha…"

"What?" Sasuke asked.

"Don't interrupt!" The blonde objected.

The two received glares and shushes from the other studying students.

"This probably isn't the best place for you to be talking to me." Sasuke whispered.

"I said don't interrupt." Naruto whispered back. "Look, as I said I called tons of people last night and I want to know…what happened to your parents?"

Sasuke stared at him for a moment. How did he…? "Can we talk about this later?" He asked.

"No, we'll talk about it now." Naruto stated.

Sasuke looked around the room and closed his math book. He grabbed his shoulder bag and left the library. He glanced back at Naruto letting the blonde know that he was supposed to follow. Naruto stood up and followed Sasuke. The brunette led him to a staircase that no one used anymore. It led down to the boiler room and as long as the art class wasn't doing clay yet, which they weren't, they shouldn't get any eavesdroppers.

"Sasuke…" Naruto started getting ready to start convincing him to tell him with the many reasons he had. Of course, they had all been different ways of saying, "cause I know something and I'm your friend damnit."

"What makes you think you need to start digging into my personal life?" Sasuke asked rather harshly.

"Because I'm your friend damnit!" Naruto replied.

"That doesn't mean you get to go calling my relatives like that! What the hell goes through your brain?! Do you even think before you act?!" Sasuke asked.

"Yea, I had to think to type in the right numbers!"

"This isn't a joke, Naruto!" Sasuke shot back. They managed to keep their voiced low. Neither wanted to gather a crowd.

"I know it isn't. That's why I'm digging you dumbass! I can tell something's wrong. And after seeing this morning's display I think I have an idea."

"You have no idea." Sasuke argued his voice holding something close to resentment. "You'll never understand so their no point in your…"

Naruto grabbed his arm, he was gentle but firm. Sasuke was too shocked to pull away; he froze and tried to push back that fear that was rising in him.

"That's why." Naruto voice was softer and sadder now. "I'm not oblivious to that fear in your eyes. Not now, nor earlier when you were talking to him. You were protecting me right?"

Sasuke backed away from him pulling his arm closer to him. When his back hit the wall he let himself slide down until he was sitting against it. He looked down at his previously hurt wrist before closing his eyes completely. He thought he could lie, to him. But Naruto wasn't like anyone he'd ever met before. And Naruto already knew, but he doubted the blonde knew all of it, and there was no way he would tell him.

"He's abusive isn't he?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke didn't answer, he couldn't. He didn't need to anyhow; Naruto already knew the answer to that. But Sasuke's nonexistent answer confirmed it anyway.

For awhile they were quiet ignoring the sound of the bell and the sound of students in the hall, just outside the door that led to the staircase they were in. As predicted no one used these stairs and they were left unbothered. Naruto was sure the silence had lasted at least over five minutes when he heard the tardy bell ring and the five minute passing period was over.

Naruto sat down next to him and silently rejoiced when the brunette didn't seem to freak out or move.

"My parents died in a car wreck when I was eight." Sasuke said. His voice was so quiet, and a little beaten. "Itachi was eighteen, barely a legal adult, but that didn't matter. He was my guardian. He wasn't always like that…but he's not the same man he was nine years ago."

Sasuke felt an arm wrap around his shoulder and pull him closer, but he didn't mind so much. His reassuring and warm arm held him close to a reassuring and warm body. His paranoia didn't speak up, even that seemed content with just Naruto's small action. Sasuke hadn't even realized he was crying.

You sink into my clothes

This invasion makes me feel

Worthless, hopeless, sick

I'm so sick, infected with

Where I live, let me live without this

Empty bliss, selfishness

I'm so, I'm so sick

I'm so sick, infected with

Where I live, let me live without this

Empty bliss, selfishness

Let me live, please
