░ AU in which Sasuke is in love with Naruto, but Naruto likes Itachi. ItaNaruSasu (love triangle thing, not a threesome relationship), NaruSasu and some ItaNaru. Two shot ░

///////////

The day Sasuke actually really met Naruto was a hard one to forget.

Sasuke was seven at the time. His parents, Fukagu and Mikoto, had gone out for dinner, leaving Sasuke's older brother, Itachi, who was twelve, to look after his younger brother.

Itachi was cooking dinner and Sasuke was playing outside like he usually did. Everything was fine at first - Sasuke was just climbing in the trees, pretending to be a ninja like he liked to. But Sasuke accidentally slipped out of the tree he was in, falling and breaking his arm.

A bloodcurdling scream had Itachi flying out the door and at his brother's side.

Sasuke was in tears, his arm already turing purple and swelling. Itachi's eyes widened as he examined his brother's arm.

The scream had also brought out the next door neighbor, ten year old Naruto Uzumaki, Itachi's friend.

"Itachi, what's going on over there?" The blond boy asked, eyebrows furrowed.

"Naruto, would you please come over here?" Itachi asked, sounding worried. Naruto hopped the fence and ran to the Uchiha.

"Whoa, is he okay?"

"Naru, this is my little brother Sasuke, and I think he broke his arm. Will you wait here with him while I call an ambulance?"

Naruto nodded and Itachi ran inside. The blond crouched beside the crying seven year old, wiping away the tears on his face.

"Hey, are you okay?" Naruto asked, his voice soothing. It calmed the young boy down a bit. "I'm Naruto, I'm Itachi's friend."

Sasuke sniffled and shyly grabbed the blond's hand, squeezing slightly.

That was his way of saying, "I trust you".

Bright blue eyes met warm black ones, and Naruto gave Sasuke a soft smile.

"You know, Sasuke, you look a lot like Itachi. It's kind of crazy."

Sasuke blushed lightly.

Itachi came outside a few moments later. "An ambulance is on its way," he said, before going back in to call his parents.

A little while later, Sasuke was at the hospital getting x-rays with Mikoto in the room, and Itachi and Naruto sat in the waiting room with Naruto's father Minato and the Uchiha brothers' father Fukagu.

Sasuke and Mikoto came out a bit later, Sasuke's arm in a cast and Mikoto holding a prescription for Sasuke's pain medicine in her hand.

Sasuke ran up and hugged Itachi the best he could.

"You're so brave, Sasuke," Itachi told him, smiling. "I bet it hurts a lot."

Sasuke nodded and pulled away. "I- It did..." He replied quietly. The boy was pretty shy, even around his family sometimes.

Sasuke turned to Naruto and blushed, reaching his good arm out for a hug. Naruto happily obliged, and even got Itachi to join in on the hug after a few moments. And Minato had gone and snapped a picture of the three with a smile.

And now Sasuke was sixteen, a high school student. His parents had died and Itachi was taking care of him still. He had a few friends, but his best friend was Naruto's cousin, Karin Uzumaki.

She was annoying and clingy sometimes but she gave good advice and was nice enough to Sasuke and accepted him. He loved her as a friend should, and trusted her and depended on her sometimes.

His other friends consisted of Rock Lee, Hinata Hyuuga, Shino Aburame, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, and a girl named Tenten, but they were all strange.

He could also count Itachi's co-worker Kakashi Hatake, who lived with them, but he was even older than Itachi was.

Oh, and Sasuke also had a creepy pervert stalker named Orochimaru that lived next door.

Sasuke's life was strange.

And Itachi was twenty one now, and Naruto was eighteen, and the blond was still hanging around. And he'd finally gotten those tattoos on his face of whiskers like he had always wanted, because when he was younger he'd just draw on his face with sharpie, and Sasuke found that to be cute back then.

He thought it was cute now, but he tried to hide it.

Sasuke had always sort of known that Naruto liked his older brother, Itachi. The way Naruto would look at him and talk about him made it all very clear to the younger Uchiha. But still, Sasuke couldn't help the feelings he developed for his brother's best friend.

It was hard, hiding those feelings, but he managed.

Even though when Naruto got too close to him, he'd blush like mad and hope to God that the blond couldn't hear his heart pounding in his chest.

But still, he pushed the feelings to the back of his mind.

He let out a sigh as he walked in his house, Karin right behind him. He threw his backpack onto the floor by the couch and collapsed on said couch.

Itachi and Kakashi were probably at work still, so he'd have to wait for them to get back before he decided on what to make for dinner.

-

When they both came home, Itachi had told Sasuke and Karin that Naruto was coming over for dinner.

And when Naruto showed up, they all ate and decided to watch a movie.

Naruto sat between Sasuke and Itachi, and of course this caused the younger Uchiha to blush and squirm, his feelings surfacing in his brain, before he successfully distracted himself and pushing the feelings to the back of his mind again.

After all, he shouldn't have felt that way about the older blond boy in the first place. It was wrong of him, in his opinion. He knew Naruto liked Itachi.

But he wondered if Itachi felt the same.
