Memory
Sasuke unlocked the door to his house. All the lights were off which he noticed as odd. Itachi never really bothered about the electric bill and left just about every light in the house on. Beyond that it wasn't that late so there was no way he was already in bed. Although there was a point a few years ago when Itachi liked staying in the dark but he thought he'd gotten over that.
He opened the door and paused. This couldn't be right. There were a few boxes by the door but beyond that the house was completely empty. He looked down the hallway when he heard Itachi's footsteps walking out of his room. Said Uchiha didn't look at him at all, didn't acknowledge that he was late. He placed what was in his hands in a box and taped it shut in silence.
"What are you doing?" Sasuke spoke up finally. When he didn't receive an answer he began to panic a little. "Itachi!"
Finally he looked up and stared at him younger brother. Everything was so dark. "You're late."
"I passed out at school." Sasuke answered looking around at the boxes.
"I know. The school nurse called. She also mentioned that during your examination she found that you had signs of being raped."
Sasuke flinched a little and looked back at him.
"You're so pathetic. Do you realize now that the social workers will find out soon as well? So to avoid the trouble you caused, we're moving."
"I caused?" Sasuke asked.
Itachi grabbed his arm and pushed him back against the wall. "You think you're innocent? You're the one who let them find out."
"I…I passed out because I got sick! Because I couldn't sleep last night, because you…!" He stopped himself.
"I what?" He asked harshly.
"Because you hurt me." Sasuke finished quietly.
"Oh? Tell me, were you more hurt over what I did, or what I said?"
Sasuke didn't answer.
"We're leaving in the morning…"
"No."
…
Itachi's eyes narrowed slightly at him. "What?"
"No. I'm not leaving." Sasuke replied louder. His voice was shaking. He was shaking.
Itachi glared at him for a long moment in complete silence.
The silence only served to scare Sasuke even more but he'd already said it. There was no taking back the past. He knew that by now.
Finally the older of the two sighed. "It's harder to force you y'know, and I would like to do this the easy way…"
"Why?" Sasuke asked. "Why me? Why do you do these things to me? I don't understand."
"You wouldn't."
"Nii-san! Please? I'd like to say I still love you, but that would be a lie. You aren't the brother that I loved. To be honest, I hate you. But I just…I don't understand what changed you into this."
Itachi raised an eyebrow. "You honestly want to know? Do you think I don't realize that I've been fucked up? I'm beyond repair and so are you. You're no better then me, and you want to know why, Sasuke?"
A hand wrapped itself around Sasuke's throat and his breath caught choking him. He was pushed back against the wall Itachi pressing into him.
"This is why." He finished placing a hand over Sasuke's crotch. "That right there. The fact that all I need to do is touch you and your body is trained to respond in that way."
Sasuke coughed against the hold on his throat painfully aware of the truth in his words.
"Or that your body responds in that way to pain. You've become a true Masochist over the years, so tell me Outoto; why do you believe you can be repaired?"
The hand released his throat but before Sasuke could answer the question he was cut off by pain. Itachi ripped up the school uniform from his brother's body a turned Sasuke around so that his face was against the wall. The noise of a painful complaint came from Sasuke but it went ignored like many before it.
What didn't go ignored was the muffled moan Sasuke was trying to force back when Itachi had grinded against him.
"Do you see, Sasuke? You're just as fucked up as me."
"You're right, Itachi." Sasuke agreed. "You made me what I am. But there is always forgiveness for those who want it."
"You want forgiveness now?" Itachi asked.
"I already found it. And that's what you're so afraid of."
Itachi felt himself getting more and more pissed off the more Sasuke spoke. Damn him! Acting like he knew anything about this world!
The elder undid his necktie and used it as a makeshift gag. He wasn't going to listen to Sasuke anymore. And he didn't have to listen if Sasuke couldn't talk.
The younger tried to protest but all that came out was muffles which ended up making him gag.
"I'm not afraid of something that doesn't exist." Itachi whisper into his younger brother's ear. "There are a lot of things you still need to learn foolish Outoto."
He pulled his belt off soon after and used it to tie Sasuke's hands together in front of him before he tossed him to the floor face down. After a moment he repositioned his younger brother, Sasuke's face laying against the hardwood floor his hips in Itachi's hands keeping that half of him in the air. His legs were knocked apart and he felt Itachi moving between them keeping him in that position.
Without warning or any sort of sign Itachi thrust and Sasuke impulsively screamed into the gag. He felt his eyes rolling to the back of his head and his stomach began to protest. His headache pounded against his head while Itachi pounded in him only making everything worse.
He felt himself loosing consciousness again and tried to keep himself awake this time. Finally the headache disappeared replaced with an odd light feeling. His vision got dark and his head dropped. His subconscious took over and he didn't register the pain, pleasure or anything else.
What he had thought in that last moment was simple. -"Naruto."-
-Xx2 Months LaterxX-
"Uzumaki! You got that finished yet?" His boss called.
"I'm working on it!" Naruto replied resisting the urge to roll his eyes.
"Well, work faster."
"Calm down old man. Jeez, is he always like this?" He asked his co-worker.
Ayame smiled nervously. "At times. Only during the big dinner rush."
"Dinner rush?" He asked looking at the two customers in the little ramen shop. "I don't think it's a very good sign if that's your dinner rush."
She giggled.
"Oi! Incoming!" The old shop owner informed them and the two looked at the doors. In came their dinner rush.
"Choji!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Ah! Back to work!" Ayame noted beginning to work diligently. "Naruto-kun! Help me!"
"Okay." He agreed getting to work quickly joining her in preparing different types of ramen because they just knew Choji would eat them all.
-XxX-
Naruto sighed and opened the door to his apartment. "Did I forget to lock the door again?" He noted to himself before sighing again and walking in. He turned the light on and looked around his messy little apartment.
A knock on the door brought him back to answering it.
"Hey, Naruto. You got back late." Minato noted.
"Yea, Choji showed up and Ayame and I weren't fast enough. We ended up having to do all the dishes by ourselves." Naruto retorted.
Minato smirked a little. "All in a hard days work." He glanced in his son's apartment. "Naruto? What did you do in here? It looks like a hurricane blew through. Kushina would not be pleased to see this."
The blonde laughed. "Yea, she'd so kill me, then she'd resurrect me so I could clean it."
He sighed. "Have you eaten yet? I've got some food left over from supper if you want?"
"Thanks, I'll be over after I check my messages."
Minato smiled and waved before heading next door to his own apartment.
The young blonde headed over to his phone and started up the messages as he searched for a shirt to change into.
"Naruto Uzumaki here! I hope you understand that I'm just too cool to answer right now so leave a message okay?"
Beep
"Oi, Naruto its Sak! Do you ever answer your phone? Ugh call me back. And for crying out loud! Change your stupid message thing. You sound like a total Dousche!"
Beep
"Naruto Uzumaki here! I hope you understand that I'm just too cool to answer right now so leave a message okay?"
Beep
"Hey Fishcake, its Ino. Sakura told me to call you and tell you to call her back. Yea, bye!"
Beep
"Naruto Uzumaki here! I hope you understand that I'm just too cool to answer right now so leave a message okay?"
Beep
"You owe me twenty bucks."
Beep
He sighed. Damnit Kiba.
"Naruto Uzumaki here! I hope you understand that I'm just too cool to answer right now so leave a message okay?"
Beep
"This may never start, we could fall apart. And I'd be your memory."
Everything held still for a moment. Everything paused for Naruto. Nothing mattered but that message.
Naruto sat down by the phone and smiled. He figured he knew who was doing this although he didn't know for sure. The numbers area code was pretty far away and he had no way of checking who it belonged to. But he was used to it. It started about two months ago a week after Sasuke disappeared. Someone would call but they never spoke. Instead they would just play some random song and hold the phone to the speaker.
"Lost your sense of fear, feelings insincere. Can I be your memory? So get back, back, back to where we lasted. Just like I imagined, I could never feel this way. So get back, back, back to the disaster. My hearts beating faster, holding onto feel the same."
Beep
Naruto turned off the rest of the messages and stood up heading for the door shaking his head a little.
If only they could go back.
This may never start
Tearing out my heart
And I'd be your memory
Lost your sense of fear
Feelings disappeared
Can I be your memory?
