Raising a brow, I fold my arms over my chest as I walk over to the Kitchen window. Itachi was on the phone out there. He was probably pissed with me and wanted to go home. My gaze lowers. From what I can see, Itachi appeared to look lost in thought. I knew I shouldn't have let him come. I always just seem to make him upset.

"And what am I being so dense about?"

"Not noticing how people feel about you."

"You think I care? It's quite obvious about how he feels. I mean... Just look at him!"

Kiba stepped over to where I was standing and peaked out the window at Itachi. Actually catching a glimpse of a smile, which I didn't seem to notice.

"I always get in the way." I continued, "He never wants to spend time with me. That's how it's always been. Nothing has changed, and nothing ever will."

I spot Itachi waving at me from outdoors when he put his phone away. I wave back a little, as well as Kiba. I then shut the curtains and head for the door that leads outside. Speaking in a low tone that seemed so far away. "You'd think I would have given up hope by now..."

For some reason, that had seemed to catch Kiba off guard. When he, by accident, knocked over and spilled his cup of water. I faked a smile as I leave the building and head out onto the balcony.

I didn't realize how nice it was tonight. The sky was filled with dozens of stars. The moon seemed to be so close like you could touch it. And it wasn't hot, nor cold. The scent of fresh air made things more calming and peaceful. It was quiet, and relaxing. And Itachi, he looked so...

"Sasuke... Your face is red."

My eyes dilated in shock as I gave off a stubborn mumble.

I can see him looking behind his shoulder at me while he sits on the edge of the steps, and that is where I come to join him. I sit down besides him as I stare up at the sky. I can just feel his gaze upon me. He was still concerned so I decided to answer him.

"Sometimes people look that way when you stay in the heat too long..."

"Heh. Is that your way of telling me I'm hot?"

My face becomes a darker shade as I face towards him. You have no idea how bad I wanted to tell him off. And that's exactly what I did.

"Shut up!"

Silence remained. He was shocked and I could tell he was hurting. Although I was hurting as well. And I wanted to know the reason why he kept this act up.

"Just cut it out already! Why do you always have to get so close to me?! The things that you say and do... Stop teasing me so much!"

I bite down on my lower lip as I can feel a tear roll down my cheek. I quickly wipe it away so that he does not notice.

"You think that I am teasing you? Is it so wrong to care for your brother so much that you can't hold back anymore?"

"Can't hold back..?"

I watch as my older brother leans in forward while brushing back a raven black strand from my face. His eyes stare into mine. I can feel my heart beating faster, and faster.

"Sasuke...I... "

"Cloverfield's on! Hurry up and..." Kiba's voice was cut short as the door flung wide open. Me and Itachi are only inches away again, and Kiba seemed to be stunned.

I quickly pull away, shocked at what just happened between me and Itachi. "Will you stop interrupting us?!" I frowned.

Akamaru had followed Kiba onto the balcony and it had began to bark at Itachi again. That stupid dog..

"Well sorry. You looked uncomfortable, and the movie just started!"

"We'll be in there. Just give us a moment!"

Kiba growled and entered the building once again. I can tell that Itachi was wondering if I was uncomfortable. But I would not tell him that.

"S-So. Um... What were you going to say?"

Itachi just shook his head and stood back up. He reached his arm out to me and helped pull me up as well, giving a small smile. "Nothing. Forget it. We better get inside before we miss it."

I gave a small nod and got up from the ground as me and Itachi stepped back into the building and to where the living room was.

The room happened to be very dark, besides the television screen which was turned on. The bowls of popcorn already set up on the counter, right in front of the couch for three.

By the time the commercials were finally over, Me, Itachi, and Kiba had already sat down. Of course, I was sitting besides Kiba, Akamaru, and Itachi. I was the 'Monkey In The Middle' again.

As we got couch comfy, Itachi had brought his hand up to rest upon the couch and behind my neck. At first, I was confused. That's what lovers do. But I didn't seem to mind it as much when he slid it down to my arm, the side Kiba was sitting at.

He pulled me into a warm embrace as I leaned to the side where Itachi was. My eyes lowered tiredly as my gaze shifted towards the screen. I mumble out, "I'm not uncomfortable." I was referring to what had just happened outside.

I feel him whisper into my ear and say, "I could tell."

He doesn't know that I begin to blush again. After all, the darkness hid it from him.
