~~~~~~

The next day came by fast, faster than Naruto thought it would, Oh what he would give to stay all day inside cuddling with his boyfriend, but school was a priority which he knew he couldn't abandon,

And the whole day, as expected, Sakura kept running over Naruto answering questions until he finally satisfied her and told her the truth.

Although, she did tell Sasuke about Naruto's leaving, he still felt some gratitude towards her. As if, Sakura didn't go telling everything to Sasuke, Naruto would have probably given his 'College dropout' note. So by Sasuke's permission the night before, he told her what happened. He told her what Sasuke said that he felt towards Naruto.

Sakura smiled, although she did warn Naruto to be careful, to be wise and open up his eyes. To keep a sharp eye on Sasuke, She bid him good luck and stopped bugging him for the day.

After telling Sakura, he obviously felt the need to inform about the news to his close friend Sai, who in process was almost going to punch him in the nose and call him and idiot and fool.

Sai didn't take it well, he felt worried for his close friend. He never liked Sasuke, he disliked the way that he used Naruto and it seemed as if Sai's point of view to Sasuke, wasn't going to change soon.

Naruto huffed, telling Sai to trust Sasuke, he told him about Sasuke's love confession and in return Sai told him to be careful and wise. After all, it wasn't Sai's choice as to what happens to his friend's relationship with his lover.

And of course, while all of this was happening, Sasuke kept feeling all of the 'glances' on his sharp back. The glances to which belonged to his older brother Itachi. Itachi seemed to try and get closer to Sasuke, maybe to talk. But when he did see him getting closer, Sasuke would pretend to be talking to someone else, or pretend to be late to a class and somehow he managed to keep his brother away.

He didn't hate Itachi nor did he feel anger towards him. But Itachi knew about Sasuke and his love for Naruto. He was afraid that the relationship between them would turn to awkward, he was afraid that Itachi would hate him like his father; he was scared that he'd be viewed as a failure.

Naruto noticed that as well.

He wanted to tell Sasuke to let Itachi talk to him, but he kept himself back. That wasn't his business and he believed that Sasuke should take all of the time needed.

But whether Sasuke liked it or not, Itachi planned on talking to him and nothing was going to change his mind.

Perhaps nothing would change the love for his younger brother as well.

So when the bell rang, indicating that it was lunch time, Itachi rushed to his seat with his friends and he stared like a hawk and viewed every person making their way to the cafeteria. Then Sasuke and Naruto, eventually came in. They sat down on their tables with their friends and Itachi smiled knowing that this time, no matter what, Sasuke would have to face him.

He stood up, excusing himself and swiftly made his way over to Sasuke.

Sasuke saw his brother making his way over to him; he gently poked Naruto in the ribs and looked at Itachi once again indicating for Naruto to also look at his brother.

"He's coming over here . . . what am I going to do?" Naruto shrugged as he chewed on his lips. "I don't know man . . . just let him say what he wants" Sasuke rolled his eyes at Naruto's answers and sat somehow patiently on his chair as Itachi approached him. "Sasuke, we need to talk" Sasuke huffed out and shrugged. "Do we have to?" Itachi chuckled and smiled trying to seem friendly.

"Yes baby brother" the whole table laughed at Itachi's cute nickname for Sasuke, while he gently sunk down to his seat blushing. Soon he got up and excused himself slowly walking after his brother until they made it to an empty classroom.

"What is it?" Sasuke replied trying to seem not interested in the subject his brother would want to talk about. "You know what it is" Itachi's smile faded and his voice returned to deep seriousness. Sasuke's plopped himself down on a desk crossing his arms. Itachi looked at Sasuke's light bruised lip and nose and frowned.

"Shit . . ." he whispered. Itachi sighed and walked over to Sasuke, he gently grabbed his chin observing Sasuke's bruises. "He messed you up . . ." he whispered once again. "It's fine" Sasuke bluntly replied. Itachi glared shaking his head. "I can't believe I let him do such a thing to you" Itachi looked hurt, emotionally hurt. And Sasuke realized it as soon as he saw his guilty eyes.

"It's not your fault! You weren't the one who beat me up!" Itachi looked at Sasuke with plain guilt written all over his face. "I just can't believe him. . . I can't believe he'd go so far"

Sasuke sighed and looked down to his lap. "How's mum?"

Itachi looked straight at his younger brother with straight sadness in his voice. "She's not good, she has been crying nonstop . . . they're fighting so much Sasuke. The both of them" And now, if it was even possible, as he heard his brother say that sentence he felt even more guilty and bad.

He felt like he was to blame for everything, his mother's sadness, the anger of his father and their fighting.

"I'm sorry, this is all because of me" Sasuke did in fact feel sorry and Itachi believed him more than he'd believe anything else. That was because Sasuke barely ever apologized, and when he did, everyone would realize how serious the problem all was.

"You're not to blame!" He hated Sasuke apologizing for the mistakes of their judgemental father. He loved his brother; he loved his brother more than anything and he'd take his side no matter what. "You have to come back home . . ." Sasuke looked up and shook his head giving him a serious look. "That's not going to happen, I'm not needed there"

"Then I'd leave as well, at least until father will realizes that he's being selfish" Sasuke felt guiltier. Not did he only make his parents argue, but now his brother wanted to leave because of him.

"Don't make mum worry anymore . . . please Itachi" this was already enough to disappoint their mum, next thing that would happen would be that she'd worry too much and end up in a worse condition. Sasuke wanted no more fighting because of him. "Fine" Itachi gave up. He knew that what Sasuke said was true. 

Itachi also didn't want to see their mother worry anymore. "What about Naruto? Are you staying at his place?" Sasuke nodded and jumped down off the table. "Where would I stay if not at his place? After all . . . he's my boyfriend" Itachi smiled and soon his hand made its way on Sasuke's hair ruffling it all up while his younger brother groaned.

"I'm happy for you, you finally found someone after all" Sasuke blushed a little and shot his glare to the floor. "Y-yea . . ." But soon Itachi's laugh came to a halt, and his face got serious once again. "Father will probably tell Minato, how will they take it? Naruto's parents . . ." 

Sasuke huffed out and shook his head at the lengths that his father would go. But he also felt relieved, after all Kushina and Minato already do know about their son being gay. What they didn't know was that he was being banged by his best friend, now boyfriend.

"Don't worry about that, they know he's gay" Itachi nodded and sighed in relief. After chatting for some more time, they decided to go back to the lunch room and not get the others to worry about them. "Try and bring me Aoda's vivarium, and maybe some more clothes" Itachi nodded and left for his table re joining his friends while Sasuke sat down next to Naruto giving him a small smile.

"Is everything okay?" he whispered. Sasuke took a sip from his coke and then mumbled a 'yup'.

But in truth, nothing was fine.

Nothing was fine for Sasuke at all.
