Itachi's Mission
Chapter 4
"Are you finally ready to tell me what has been bothering you?" Kakashi asked.
"Um…well, you see" Sasuke stuttered. "I have this friend, and he well…"
Kakashi sighed "you know Sasuke, I know you are talking about yourself so you can stop pretending you're talking about someone else".
"You promise not to tell anyone?" he asked desperately with his face the shade of a tomato.
"I promise".
Kakashi had never seen the boy so overwrought about something, he was starting to get really interested in what he had to say.
"What do you think about a boy liking another boy?" he said in a hushed tone.
Kakashi cleared his throat "well, if you are talking about a boy liking another boy in a romantic way, no I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
Sasuke sighed in relief, he didn't think he was a freak, but deep down inside he still felt like someone who didn't belong.
"Why can't I be like everyone else? More I don't know…more normal?" Sasuke said sadly more to himself then to the silver haired jonin. "Sometimes I just hate being so different, so misunderstood, and…alone."
Kakashi stood in front of him with sympathy in his eyes. It must have been hard growing up all by himself with no father figure in his life, no older male to guide him and to reassure him that he was in fact a normal adolescent boy.
The sun started to go down and all was quiet except for a few buzzing flies flying around the stream nearby.
"Sasuke, the feelings you have for other boys does not make you weird or at all inferior to the other boys your age, trust me, just because you may not want a girlfriend, there is nothing stopping you from having a boyfriend who truly cares about you."
"But…"
"And don't let anyone tell you otherwise, be proud of who you are" the jonin said with comforting eyes.
Sasuke just nodded. He was actually glad that he put his pride aside for one moment and opened up to his sensei. He felt like a huge load was lifted from his shoulders. He felt for the first time in his life like he could walk up to anyone and admit he liked other boys.
"Thanks" he said while showing a small smile.
"Anytime Sasuke, and if you ever need to talk about anything don't hesitate, okay?" The younger nodded and started to head back to his house.
He was almost at his house when something shimmered in the moonlight on the dusty and dirty road. He walked up to the shiny object and bent down to pick it up. It was Itachi's, it was the necklace he always wore, the necklace that he treasured, it was also the necklace Sasuke had always found beautiful.
