Sorry for such a late update. My computer broke and I had to get a new one. Then I got sick. Again I apologize. Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. (I wish)

Chapter 4

They decided to eat dinner outside on the deck. Naruto made sure to put someone between him and Itachi, earning a smirk from the black haired teen. Iruka had noticed the exchange between the two, but had decided to ignore it. 'Whatever happened, I'm pretty sure Naruto will be able to take care of it.'

Dinner went without much mishap, the guys just enjoying the quiet scenery while chewing on their food. After dinner, Naruto helped Iruka and Kakashi clean the dishes and then headed to his room, saying good night and claiming he was tired. Kakashi gives Iruka a confused look and asked,

"On average, how many hours of sleep per day does Naruto get?"

Iruka chuckled and then said "If I allowed it, 24 hours."

"Wow."

"Yeah."

Kakashi's face suddenly brightened.

"What?" Iruka asks, a little worried about the suddenly happy face.

Kakashi gives a dark chuckle and shakes his head. Iruka starts eyeing the futon, suddenly losing the urge to sleep upstairs. The silver haired man notices the look and smiled slyly behind his mask.

"Hey, Iruka. You are not planning to sleep on the futon are you? I think it's a good idea, but it's a little open, being in the living room don't you think?"

Iruka immediately turns and hits Kakashi on the shoulder, knocking him back a couple of steps.

"What the hell?! What kind of person do you think I am?"

Kakashi grins. "I think you are a great person."

"Flattery won't get you anywhere and quit trying to get me in bed with you."

Kakashi suddenly lunges at Iruka, managing to get the smaller man in a surprisingly quick hug, his arms a steel trap that wasn't going to open any time soon. Iruka lets out of yelp of surprise.

Kakashi puts his mouth near Iruka's ear, the mask slightly warm from his breath. "Now why would I want to do that? This vacation won't be much fun at this rate. I told you on the phone I would give you a nice break, and that's what I intend to do, remember? One way or another." He whispers, causing the other man to shiver in his arms.

Kakashi lets go and with a smile, proclaims "But I can see you want to rest the first few days. Don't worry Iruka, we will have plenty of time. No need to rush things. I'll be asleep upstairs if you need me."

With that, Kakashi gives Iruka a mock salute and walks up the stairs, leaving the brunette to wonder why the hell he accepted that lunatic's invitation.

Naruto was in his room, taking off his jeans and throwing a white muscle shirt on to sleep in. His boxers were black with green frogs on it. As he was about to crawl under the comforter of the bed and turn his DS on, he hears his door open. He turns to see Sasuke walking into the room like he owned the place.

"What do you want?" Naruto grumbles, "I'm about to go to sleep."

"Are you ok?" came the monotone reply.

"What?"

Sasuke sighs, his face carefully blank. "I saw you and Itachi talking earlier and when he left, you looked really shocked. I came to see if you were fine."

Naruto look away, towards the window and mumbles "Oh that."

"What did Itachi say?" Sasuke asked. There was a look in his eyes that Naruto couldn't recognize.

"Nothing."

"It was obviously something based off the reaction you had." Sasuke remarked, taking a couple steps toward the blonde. "Tell me what he said."

"He said nothing!"

Another few steps, the distance between the two had been brought down to a few inches, neither one of the teens noticing.

"Tell me!" Sasuke yelled.

"Why do you fucking care?!" Naruto snapped, glaring at the raven.

Not giving an answer, Sasuke looked away, glaring at the wall. The two noticed how close they were and Sasuke backed off, still not looking at him.

Naruto glares at him and says "If you are not going to answer, then get the fuck out."

Without another word, Sasuke turns and leaves. Naruto glares at the doorway, even when the door closed, then he got into the bed. 'What is wrong with that family, being so weird? Stupid bastard.' Naruto shook his head, then promptly fell asleep, any video game playing completely forgotten.

After Sasuke left Naruto's room, he heads straight to his. His room was pretty much the same as Naruto's except everything was red themed, not blue. He was planning to go to bed as well, but ended up pacing his room, muttering to himself angrily.

"What did Itachi say? Why won't Naruto tell me?"

The raven glared out his window, turning abruptly and leaving his room. Naruto's door was on the same side of the hallway, just farther down and across the bathroom. Itachi's room was right across from Sasuke's and he immediately started towards it, throwing the door open when he got there. Itachi was sitting on his bed texting.

He gave Sasuke a bored look then his gaze went back to his phone. "Can I help you?" the older teen asked in a bored voice.

Sasuke glares at his brother, not amused about Itachi's lack of interest. "What did you say to Naruto earlier today, when you two were outside?"

Itachi smirks, puts his phone aside, then closes his eyes and lying down onto his back with his arms behind his head. "Why do you need to know?"

"Because it upset Naruto, that's why." Sasuke said in an irritated tone. He crossed his arms, showing that he wasn't leaving until Itachi gave him an answer.

"Why should I care if your pretty little boyfriend is upset?"

Sasuke's mouth opens, no noise coming out. Blushing, glad that Itachi's eyes were closed, he snapped "He's not my boyfriend!"

"Right," Itachi said, voice laced with sarcasm "The great Sasuke cares deeply for every little blonde he meets at random. Admit it, little brother, you like him. I'm have to be honest though, I didn't expect you to be a player of that team." He opens his eyes and looks at Sasuke, who was now standing beside the bed and glaring.

"Just tell me what you fucking said." Sasuke said in a low, dangerous tone.

"What's the magic words?"

"Tell me what you said and I might not kick your sorry ass."

Itachi laughs once. "Ha. Close, little brother, but not quite. Try again tomorrow when you are in a better mood."

Sasuke grounded his teeth together in frustration. 'Goddamn bastard!'

He balls his hand into a fist, wishing he could punch his older brother. Itachi notices the anger in the younger raven and grinned. It was always fun to mess with Sasuke, and he has not had much fun lately.

"Do you really want to know, little brother?"

Sasuke looks at Itachi, suspicious. Slowly, he nods his head, a frown crossing his face.

"Well, on basic terms, I told Naruto that I can't wait to have fun with him on this trip." Itachi said coolly, eyes watching Sasuke's reaction.

"Liar! Something like that wouldn't bother him." Sasuke growled.

"How do you know?" Itachi questioned "You just met him today. And if you are so sure about me lying, then ask your boyfriend. I'm sure he will tell you the same thing."

Right at that time, Itachi's phone lights up, indicating he got a message. Picking the phone up to read the message, Itachi stated "Well, it's late and time for little Sasukes to be in bed. Run along."

Seeing that he wouldn't get any farther right now, Sasuke turns and leaves. When he closes the door, he sighs then growls. "Why won't those two just tell me? What about it does it make them not tell me?" Grumbling in annoyance, he enters his room, stooping to listen to the quiet chuckling coming from Itachi's room and snoring could be heard from down the hallway. The door closes with a click. Yup, this is going to be a great vacation.
