Sasuke walked into Itachi's room at two in the morning, dropping a folder down on the surprised man's lap as he instantly woke up.

"There. This is what I received. Now you tell me how this is not real."

Itachi opened the folder, and looked at the pictures for several minutes. He decided not to mention to Sasuke that Naruto had made an appointment with him on Monday to sell him his part of the business.

"I think we need to call in Hyuga Hinata and Haruno Sakura and ask them directly. Yes?"

"Fine. And I also want to find out about Naruto being hospitalized after the break-up."

Itachi looked at his brother, wondering where he had heard that information. Something had happened tonight. He considered all the potential barriers that were going to be in Sasuke's way if he decided he wanted another try with Naruto.

"If you want to find out what happened to Naruto after you dumped him, you'll have to go see Gaara."

Itachi looked at the photos in more detail when Sasuke was at the gym. While he could see Sasuke's point that it seemed pretty clear what was happening, there were some things that bothered him. They both showed Naruto in bed naked at least from the waist up, his legs covered by the crimson sheets, looking flushed. The first showed Hinata standing next to him, wearing just a towel. She was leaning over him, with her hand under his head at the base of his neck. Sakura was wearing a bra and panties, and was kneeling on the bed beside Naruto, also leaning over him with her arms around him. The second was even worse. Sakura was now kneeling between Naruto's legs, and her face just above his crotch. The camera was directly behind her, so it wasn't possible to see exactly what her mouth was doing but... it didn't look good. Hinata was watching her, with a look of expectancy on her face.

The towel bothered Itachi. If you have gotten a woman out of her clothes and into your bedroom, why would she be back in a towel before the event was over? It didn't usually play out that way, even with the shy ones. And her expression was off. It didn't look lustful or even embarrassed. In the first photo, she looked more worried. In the second, she looked like she was just... waiting for something. Sakura's face was turned away from the camera both times, so he got no read there. Naruto was flushed, and his eyes were closed in both. In the second he appeared to be grimacing, potentially in appreciation from the ministrations of the pink-haired woman between his thighs. But potentially not.

The second thing that bothered Itachi was that Naruto was not touching either woman in either of the photos. Naruto was one of the most demonstrably affectionate people that Itachi had ever met, something that had caused no small amount of embarrassment and discomfort to Sasuke and later himself as the blond had become embedded in their lives. He couldn't imagine Naruto having sex with someone and not touching them. Not that he spent a lot of time thinking about his brother-in-law having sex. But he had walked in on enough scenes with Naruto and Sasuke (waaay more than he ever had wanted to know about his little brother) that he was pretty confident in that.

Of course, blinded by shock and hurt, he wouldn't have expected Sasuke to think about details like that. He had at least had the presence of mind to verify the authenticity of the photos, but then had just gone into full-blown Uchiha emotional defense mode. Which basically meant shut down all emotions and destroy the source of the pain with all possible speed and force. Itachi had called the Hyuga residence and asked to speak with Hinata, only to be informed that the entire family was off at the Hyuga country estate for the wedding of one of the clan, and would not be back until the following week. He had left a message on Sakura's answering machine, but had not heard back. He was meeting with Naruto tomorrow to discuss the joint business. But it was not his place to confront Naruto about the photos. If this was going to be resolved, that conversation belonged to Sasuke. But he wasn't concerned. There were other ways of testing the waters with Naruto.

Sasuke stood in the shower, letting the hot water pour over him and loosen his tense muscles. He needed to get his head around what he was really doing with Naruto. What did he want to happen at this point? When he had heard that Naruto was back, he had reacted without thinking. He wanted to see him, so he had gone to the club. But everything that he had felt after that point made no sense. For two years, he had been telling himself that he had wanted to see Naruto so that he could hurt him, to see him suffer. But when he actually had seen him, none of that had been on his mind. He had simply drunk in the sight of his former lover, then left. Why?

He rested his head on the wall of the shower. He still desired Naruto. That was a simple fact he had to accept. He had felt it stir in his stomach as soon as he had seen him, a tension that he had never felt for anyone else. In a way, that was the easiest of all his emotions right now to acknowledge. It meant the least of all of them, powerful though it was. But what he really felt ran much deeper than desire. When he had felt jealousy seeing Naruto with Yahiko, it was not just for the physical intimacy that they clearly had. It was for the way that they were talking, the way Naruto had laughed at something the man had said, the way Naruto had been focused only on Yahiko, not the others that had approached him. The way it had been with Sasuke and Naruto. And Sasuke missed that. Missed simply being with Naruto, hearing the interesting and sometimes stupid things he would say, seeing the room fill with life and energy just because Naruto had entered it. Having someone who wasn't impressed with money or power, but just liked him for who he was. He had always known that Naruto liked him despite his wealth and family name, not because of it. Just as he was sure that Naruto liked Yahiko not because he was influential in the art community, but because of the man himself.

Sasuke seethed at the thought, and was annoyed at himself for it. After all, wasn't he the one who had ended it? Dog in the manger didn't suit him. He was better than that.

But it wasn't ended. Sasuke knew it... probably had always known it on some level. And if he were ruthlessly honest with himself, after two years of being without Naruto and feeling that void acutely, he would want Naruto even if the photos were exactly what they appeared to be. He smiled humorlessly at his own weakness. And if the photos were somehow wrong... Sasuke felt his stomach clench at the thought. He desperately had wanted to believe that Naruto had never betrayed him. But if it were true, and this had all been somehow a trick, then what would he do? He knew just how cruel and ruthless he had been. Is it even possible to make something like that right? Sasuke thought back to the last night they had been together. If Naruto had really been innocent, and Sasuke had ended it that way, there might be no going back. No matter how much you love a person, there are some things that are just unforgivable. And Sasuke knew that what he did probably fit into that category. So then what would he do?
