Sasuke turned to look at the mirror in Naruto's bedroom and then turned back to look at Naruto. He took in Naruto's frighted appearance and then just as Nagato walked through the door, he fled through the window.

"Naruto I gathered new seeds for the garden- Naruto?" Nagato looked at Naruto, who was panting and staring at his opened window.

Naruto stood up and walked quickly to the window, looking outside and seemingly searching for something. He frantically tried to look for traces of Sasuke. What was going on? What had happened to Sasuke's eyes?

"Naruto. What is going on?" Nagato asked again and Naruto turned around to look at him.

"Um, nothing, I thought I saw a spider on my window ledge." He quickly lied. Nagato rolled his eyes and moved past Naruto to close the window.

"That is why I told you that we mustn't keep the windows open, The hairy little creatures love to take shelter in our home." "Now. let's go and plant these seeds" Naruto nodded and followed Nagato out of his room, the thoughts of Sasuke still lingering in his mind.

...

Sasuke rushed into his room, almost breaking the door in a panic. He ran to the bathroom and watched his reflection in the mirror with a frightened look. His throat felt like it was on fire and his eyes felt like they were being stabbed by a million daggers. He tried to calm himself down, but it was difficult to calm his mind after what had happened. All he could think was that he didn't want this to ever happen again and that he needed to find a way to control his feelings.

He didn't know what was going on with his body, he craved Naruto more than ever and he wasn't sure what to do anymore. He was so unbelievably thirsty and nothing was satiating his thirst.

After a long few weeks , Sasuke walked down the staircase into the foyer where he saw his whole family after spending all of that time in his room. His mother was powdering her nose whilst his father was talking to one of the servants about something. His brother, Itachi, was standing in the corner flirting with his husband, Deidara. All their eyes were fixed on him. He quickly rushed past them and out of the castle. He needed to clear his thoughts and his insufferable family wasn't going to help him.

Once he made it far enough away, he took a break in the forest. This was his favorite thing about this kingdom, it was almost completely surrounded by the earth's scent and perfect shade of the oak and hickory trees.

He continued to walk, the forest ground crunching underneath his boots. As he continued to relish in the quiet, his brother, who he wasn't aware had been following him, spoke. "You know dear brother, if I didn't know any better I'd assume that this was all because of your lover." He said, Sasuke could hear the smugness in his voice.

"I don't have a lover" Sasuke replied, his voice barely left his lips but he knew that Itachi heard him.

"Sure you don't brother. Sure you don't" Itachi chuckled and reached out to pick a dicentra plant from its roots. "Did you know that these plants are sometimes called 'bleeding hearts'?" "It is truly fascinating what the humans can come up with."

"And what does this have to do with me?" Sasuke asked, slowly becoming agitated with his brother's presence.

"Because you and this flower relate brother" Itachi smiled and looked at Sasuke directly in his eyes. Before Sasuke could say anything to him they both heard two voices. One of the voices Sasuke recognized, it was Naruto.
