Junai No Bad Romance
Chapter II
Unknowingly, Feelings grow and develop. That is understood in one person, but who is to say the other person, where you interests may lay, would develop the same raging emotions as the ones you've kept bottle up for them. They just hurt when you can't fully express them…and it sucks when you are a boy who has fallen in love with another boy, who just happens to be your own…
Itachi had no idea what to make of his baby brother's sudden actions. The boy had completely crumpled down to the ground and was now staying on his knees. Itachi smiled, fondly, his little brother was just so adorable. Slowly, he got to his own knees and grabbed his brother's face in his hands, looking at it as the boy looked at him with a look of pure confusion. Truly, he was adorable and oh so clueless. "Come" he said in a low calculated voice, watching all reactions his little brother had to him "I'm taking you to bed"
He nearly chuckled in delight when the boy fought to get down once he had gotten him bridal style. "Itachi, there is no need for you to carry me in such a way, there is no need!" Sasuke squirmed, making Itachi tighten his hold.
"I'm just taking you to bed, you look a little pale" Sasuke looked completely torn as Itachi carried him from the kitchen to his room. Itachi was a little worried, at the same time greatly amused at his little brother. "You've been acting strange you know, just relax. You know you can tell me anything if something is bothering you, don't be afraid" Sasuke looked away and watched as Itachi set him down on his bed. It was gentle, and Itachi did not seem to put any distance between then as he did so. "What's wrong?" he asked.
Sasuke shrugged, seeming that he had lost his voice. His throat felt completely thick and shut, it was a miracle that he could even breathe. It was as if every muscle, or let's say his esophagus itself had stopped working completely. His throat, lips and all, he could hardly form a word and he could hardly swallow. He shook his head and lay down on his bed. That was when Itachi pulled away and Sasuke suddenly missed his closeness. "Alright then, I still have some stuff to do for work, I'll see you later" Sasuke dumbly nodded and blushed when his brother ruffled his hair.
"Nii-san" He huffed.
Itachi chuckled and then left.
As soon as the door closed and Itachi's presence was gone. Sasuke turned in his bed, feeling completely giddy with himself. It was a built excitement in his chest, like a shot of adrenaline that made him want to dance. It made him want to jump up and down for joy. He would have never figured that his brother would pick him up in such a way and put him to bed. Never thought of having his brother so close, or even having him ruffle his hair.
Slowly, he brought his hand up to his throat and touched it. "This is ridiculous," he said, his voice sounded breathless and shaky. Sighing, he decided to get serious once more. He felt his body completely let go of what he was feeling and it un-tensed. It was a relief, he guessed. It took only a few seconds and then Sasuke was feeling pissed at himself.
"This sucks!" He hissed and kicked his legs up in the air. This was nothing. It was nothing. Deciding that he had enough, he got out of bed and decided to get ready for work. There was still a long day ahead of him.
The next day at school
The morning had been brutal.
His brother had left earlier that morning, something about having an early meeting. Whatever that meant. His mother, well she was still there. she was going to work late today. Moreover, Sasuke, let us just say that last night had not been a good night for him. He had not been able to sleep, therefore had stayed up studying for no reason, well, truth be told there was nothing better to watch on the T.V. Therefore, he was beat. "Sasuke, are you alright?"
"Yeah, just fine"
"You want me to give you a ride to school"
"Yeah, I don't think I can face the bus today" Sasuke grumbled, making his mom worry about him.
"What happened in the bus sweetheart?"
"Well, these guys and girls keep staring at me. One guy asked me to hang with him one day and I did, only to learn that he was a drug dealer and wanted me to sell his drugs." Sasuke said and his mom's eyes widen "He later called to ask me to suck him off" Now that Sasuke thought about it, weird people always came onto him. That is why he had never really had a serious crush on anyone.
"That happened to me once as well," Mikoto said, and Sasuke had to shake his head.
"Can we go now?" Sasuke grumbled out in distress, he really did now want to hear what his mother had done, or what had happened to her. Last time she ever said anything, she nearly killed him with the explicitly of her story. She said that it was for him to know how ugly and cruel the world really was.
"Sure" She smiled at him and then began to walk outside. He followed and got in the car.
With that they left to school together. Sasuke was still thinking about his brother's strong arms around him, as he carried him up stairs and gently set him on his bed. The thought of what could have happened then and there, made him want to melt. Still, he had to wonder what his feelings for his brother were. He was getting a little scared of what he might be feeling.
It certainly was not a crush.
That much was clear to him.
He knew from experience that when someone –that resource heavily based on his friends- liked someone else, they would make a fool of themselves. He never made a fool of himself, and as to what he did in front of his older brother. Let us set is straight. His brother was the best and awesome, he was just the lame little brother. There was nothing to impress there, he had given up trying to impress Itachi when he started high school. His brother just did not even seem to look at him as anything else but annoying.
He related annoying as to what he saw Sakura as, and he was not going to be like her.
As soon as he got to school, he dreaded it. All his friends were there, even his friends' boyfriends-girlfriends…whatever. "Sasuke!" Naruto was the first to greet him; the blond boy ran his way and hugged him tight. "Guess what!"
"Don't tell me," Sasuke grumbled out.
"We found you, three blind dates!" Naruto happily said. Sasuke scowled.
"Yay, you found the three blind mice, why the hell would I date someone who can't see?" This made them all sweat drop. Sasuke on the other hand was displeased and angry. How dare his friends think that he needs to date? How dare they. He does not want to go out with no one, why must they think that they can mess around with his life. One of these days, just one, maybe soon, he was going to get back at them even.
"That's not what I meant Teme" Naruto, being not so bringht look dumbfounded to his friend and had to wonder if Sasuke was not getting it. It was simple enought that even he could. Then he shrugged "We found you some willing people to date you"
"I know what you meant dobe, and I don't want to" Sasuke seethed "What makes you think that I would want to date anyone?"
"Curse you Sasuke!" Sakura exploded just then, slamming her hands into his chest and making him fall back into Naruto. "We find you nice dates and you won't even try them out, you are so frustrating, I hate you! I hate you, I hate you!" She yelled, pulling her pink hair from her scalp and stomping her feet at her frustration. The sight was amusing for the most part. Rock Lee, her perfect boyfriend seemed to come around and try to calm her down from her liittle rant. Great, if he was not there Sasuke would have beaten her up.
Then another girl Sasuke knew decided to get in on the conversation, just great "Seriously Sasuke" Ino said, swaying her hips as she walked over to him and patted him on the shoulder as if she was some grand adviser. "You can't say that you have never liked someone, it's impossible, so either you find someone on your own or might as well date what we have found for you. Also, calm down, dates are not so bad."
"I haven't liked anyone Ino, I'm living proof that it's possible" Sasuke said crossing his arms "I mean, it's not like I don't know what it is not to date someone, I've gone on dates, but I never really liked my date in the way that you are saying to keep dating them. Whatever strange way you are saying by the way, don't involve me" Sasuke backed away when there was some shocked expressions and loud gasps from his 'friends'. Maybe that term was being used to loosely on these people now.
"You have gone on a date?" Naruto yelled making hiimm back away even more "And you've never told me" This pissed Sasuke off more than it did Naruto.
"Cause their not a big deal, I dated each once or twice but that was it, end of story. There was nothing" Sasuke explained "Its not like just because I went out with someone it's a big deal"
"It is!" Sakura said "Aww man, you've dated more people than I have, haven't you"
"I don't know" Sasuke murmured.
"Anyways" Naruto said. "You have a date tomorrow with Gaara's older sister Temari, then with Tayuya on the following day, and just for the girls amusement, Chouji" THEM? no way. For show, Sasuke shrugged and nodde his head mumbling a light 'Okay'. Then, to everyone's surprise, he turned around and began to walk out of the school. "TEME!" Naruto yelled and ran after him and dragged him back into the school. Sasuke at the moment, well, he just wanted to die.
Literally
At Work With Itachi
It was happening again.
Everyone moved out of the way with a perplexed look on their faces.
Even the boss was shocked of what was happening once more.
This had happened at least eight times in the past two years, but this one seemed a lot more urgent than the others, as the man ran with a silver cell-phone in hand and in a panic chanted the name of the person it was for.
"Itachi!" Kisame said as he ran through the halls of the offices, after all he was Itachi's secretary and therefore this was his job "Itachi, Itachi, Itachi!" He chanted as he kept running and everyone was opening ways for him. It was not a surprise to see a panicked Kisame running through the halls yelling the Uchiha's name, which just meant something, had happened to someone exceedingly important to Itachi. "Itachi, Itachi, ITACHI!" He took a deep breath as he broke into the room.
Deidara, and Sasori looked up but Itachi kept looking at the status report in his hands. "What's the matter Kisame, did something happen, un?" Deidara decided to ask when he saw that Itachi was lost in his work again.
"Yeah, and it's serious" He said, "Itachi, you have a phone call from your brother" That made Itachi look up.
"Sasuke?"
"Yeah! And he sounds pissed off" Itachi stood up and Kisame ran to him, handing Itachi the cell phone in his hand. "Here" Itachi took it and pressed it to his ear.
"Sasuke? What's wrong?"
'Nii-san! Naruto and some others are making me go on blind dates!' Itachi had to pull the phone away from his ear when he noticed that it was on speaker. Deidara, Sasori, and Kisame all looked completely interested on what was going to be said. Figures.
"What do you want me to do about it?"
'I don't know, come and beat them up maybe!'
"Can't you do that by yourself?"
'I wouldn't be calling you then, now would I' Sasuke snapped and then sighed 'you know what, forget I said anything. I'll just go on a date and get it over with' with that he hanged up the phone and Itachi stared at it confused. Sasuke on the other end was hoping Itachi would call him back and tell him that he would help him get out of having to date anyone. He wanted his brother to be jealous. He wanted to get a rise out of Itachi. Anything, just anything. A reaction, an emotion, something that told him his feelings were somehow returned.
But he never got anything.
"Why the hell would he want to tell me about his dates?" Itachi wondered. "Wasting my time like that" Deidara, Sasori, and Kisame all shrugged. They knew the older Uchiha was too stuck in his own world, with his own problems to even notice that the younger Uchiha is in love with him.
Literally.
Therefore, it was set.
He got it.
He understood full and well, Itachi did not give a flying fuck about him. He should have known that Itachi picking him up in such a special way and taking him to his bed meant OBSOLUTELY nothing to him. To Itachi it was just a kind brotherly gesture for his brother that to him was well…sick, and he knew he was sick. Not as in the flu, but as in the mind for even thinking that perhaps there was something there.
What had he been hoping for anyway?
For his brother to actually get jealous and tell his friends to leave him alone, to claim him for his own. That was one big joke. It was wishful thinking and not something that was going to actually happen unless he actually demanded it from Itachi…even then he feared the rejection he would have to face in front of his brother.
Sighing away his disappointment at the fact that his brother had no reaction to his words, he left school that day earlier and skipped his lat class. It could wait; he just did not want to see anyone anymore. All he wanted was to go to his room and bury himself, his feelings, his idiotic emotions under his bed sheets and pillow. Besides, that was where they belonged.
In the place, he slept and in the place, he dreamt in.
This really was the worst.
Going on a date with someone though, meant nothing to Sasuke. No one had anything on him. What he feared was different, what someone else might think about him. He was only human, confused about what he felt around a certain person, but completely clear and open to what he wanted. It was hard though, because he did not want to believe it.
There was only one place he could go to console himself before work.
Later that night.
Itachi, Deidara, Sasori, and Kisame where the only ones there when Sasuke got home late that night. Sasuke passed by the kitchen, hoping that he would not be noticed, but was stopped when his older brother called out to him "Sasuke, where the hell have you been." Itachi demanded. Unknown to him Sasuke had been crying at the park, after he had gone to work. Not like, he wanted to tell his brother that. Besides, he himself was not sure why he had been crying. It did not matter. "Sasuke?"
"I was at Naruto's" Sasuke did not even turn to look at his brother.
"I don't like that kid"
"Whatever" Sasuke said and quickly left making Itachi stare after him with a confused look. Usually his little brother would be happy that he was there, not out working late, and would try to talk to him a lot more than a few words. He would annoy him and never let him get his work done, but right now in a way he was worried, unsure it to follow Sasuke and ask him what was wrong, or just continue with his work. He was after all going to leave in a couple of days to a meeting to Tokyo, but he didn't want his brother to be feeling down "What's up with him?" Itachi wondered aloud.
"He just doesn't get it," Kisame said, leaning his head into the palm of his hand. "He don't get it at all"
"Of course not, un" Deidara agreed, nodding his head.
"Really, why would he" Sasori added, nodding his head as well.
Itachi turned to face then and narrowed his eyes "What the hell are you guys talking about?" Itachi snapped at them. Deidara grinned and then mockingly said.
"Don't you know, you know."
This made Itachi glare and nearly choke the blond. What the hell were they all talking about? He knew his friends were weird, but this time it was like they were hiding something from him, and he knew when people were hiding things from him.
Back in his room, Sasuke closed the door and fell to his knees. Tears still running down his cheeks. "Why" he wondered, "Why do I have to feel for my older brother in the worst ways!" taking in a deep breath, he had to remember his own words. 'Love is meaningless to me' "That's because it hurts…"
Brother, I just can't help but love you in the worst ways.
