Summary: "Why, Sasuke?" Naruto hissed, his warm breath fogging against the mirrored surface. Strong fingers pressed deep into the flesh of his neck. He fell limp against Sasuke's bare chest as his vision blurred. Large hands picked him up gently, "Why'd you leave me?" Slate eyes, through the haze of Naruto's mind, softened unnoticeably as Sasuke smirked. Naruto watched the voiceless mouth move, lush lips forming words he could not read. His eyes slid closed heavily, and the ghost touch of long fingers brushing hair from his naked forehead was the last of his feint memories of the day Akatsuki finally caught up to him.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Naruto characters or plotline.

Author's Note: So, I'm in the biggest mood for YAOI! Boyxboy! Yay! :D Most especially for Sasuke/Naruto or Sasuke/Neji….Hell, Sasuke/anyone! I'm not too picky right now. My muse went of a Bishie-Binge!

Sasuke glared at the darkened ceiling of his chamber. The stones cut and intersected in a swirling pattern, marred only by a large crater where he'd just sent a stream of lightning based chakra. Today annoyed him, even if he couldn't see the sky, he knew it was a sunny day, cloudless and bright.

It was on days such as this that he'd remember his past, and a faint memory of an older brother that ceased to exist. Sasuke remembered afternoons reclining in the shade of an apple tree, splitting the sweet fruit between himself and Itachi, and laughing about responsibilities looming in the years ahead.

He'd remember reaching for something, always hanging high above him, and that same older brother would lift him on his shoulders with a grin and together, they'd grasp what neither could reach.

"I'm always here to support you little brother," Itachi smiled, splitting the apple with a kunai and handing over the largest piece to Sasuke. "Just remember, with the two of us, there is nothing we can't reach."

Sasuke used to believe that Itachi would help him become a better shinobi and a better man than their father had been and what either hoped to become. However, even on sunny days as this, were memories of sweet apples and smiles flooded forward, it was difficult to ever believe that their dream was anything more than just that, a dream…and a goal that neither, now, could ever hope to reach.
