Memories - 27

Sasuke's been lying on the couch all day, Kakashi's... worried about him to say the least.
He's hoping Sasuke's just sick and this isn't some lasting effect of whatever weird shit is going on.
Kakashi sighs, 'I'm never going to get peace and quiet again...' He whines in his head.
"Kakashi-sensei? You knew Itachi, right?"
"Yeah."
"Do you know anything about our family, like- how Itachi thought about us and how often he was around?"
Kakashi took a moment to think, "He was very involved with his work as a shinobi, and as an Anbu nin, I do know despite that he loved you very much. I remember having a mission with him before and he wanted to grab some stuff from his locker beforehand, I followed him and his locker was, among other things, filled with pictures of you and him."
"Did he ever talk about me, or our parents?"
"Yeah, not often but that's sorta part of the job. He mentioned you quite a few times but didn't go much into detail, he seemed to let his guard down when talking about you. At any other point he would only focus on the goal and would barely smile but as soon as someone got him talking about you he would brighten right up. I think it's the only time a lot of us saw him smile."
Kakashi walked over and sat down in an armchair next to the couch.
"Why are you asking all this anyway?"
"...I feel bad... About killing him..." Sasuke whispers.
"...I probably shouldn't say this, but there is a chance that Itachi isn't dead."
Sasuke rolled over, sitting up excitedly, "What!? How?"
"I don't think I'm allowed to say, top secret stuff, ya' know?"
"Oh.."
"Just trust me on this, if he is alive you probably don't want to see him. He is very dangerous and although I doubt he'd ever hurt you, it's still better you don't have contact with him."
Sasuke smiled despite Kakashi's warning, curling up under his blanket and thinking more about his elder brother.
Kakashi could see Sasuke was going to fall asleep so he pulled out his book and got to reading.
-Time Skip- Night
"Wh- hah... ha..." Sasuke bolted up, breathing heavily. Sweat coated his body, hair tangled from all the tossing and turning.
He looked over, Kakashi next to him in bed now turning over to comfort him. It's become a norm, Sasuke having nightmares and Kakashi being woken up by his sudden movements to calm him. It's easier since Kakashi only has one bed, so he's always nearby.
"You okay?" Kakashi asks, still sleepy.
"Uh... Yeah, yeah... I'm fine."
Sasuke swings his legs over the side of the bed, getting up to get something to eat but the second he tried to take a step his legs just give out, causing him to bash his shoulder into the wall as he tried to stop himself from hitting his head.
Kakashi flinches at the loud sound and gets up, walking over to him and offering a hand to help him up.
Sasuke takes it but when he stands his vision goes black, images of Orochimaru flashing through his mind as he recalls those memories. The way they treated eachother, the fighting, the drugs, the... touching... kissing...
"Sasuke? You... Okay?"
Sasuke freezes, his vision returning and a ringing in his ears replaces it.
He lets go of Kakashi's hand, instead hugging himself and slowly sliding down the wall again until he's sitting with his knees to his chest.
Kakashi sits infront of him against the bed, he looks at him, Sasuke is shaking and wide-eyed.
Kakashi goes to lean forward and grab his hand to comfort him again but Sasuke bolts up and runs to the bathroom.
Kakashi doesn't have to follow him to know he's throwing up, he doesn't know why Sasuke's doing this but he still feels bad for him.
Kakashi gets up and goes to the kitchen, making some food for when Sasuke comes back out, knowing he's going to be hungry.
Sasuke wanders out into the livingroom looking exhausted, but it's probably over exaggerated.
Sasuke sits on the floor and sets his head down on the cold coffee table, looking at Kakashi while he cooks.
Kakashi turns around and sees Sasuke staring at him, "What's wrong this time, Sasuke?"
He turns back around and continues.
"Orochimaru..."
"What'd he do?"
Sasuke hesistates before answering, "He's... Creepy, and... Very touchy..."
"Touchy? What does that... Mean exactly..?" Kakashi kinda figured where this was going, and shivered thinking about it.
"...He's... I remembered more and... It's gross..." Sasuke stopped talking for a bit, feeling nauseous again, "He did experiments and some of those experiments involved being very weak and vulnerable..."
Kakashi looked back at him, "There really was no other way you could have said that? Huh?"
Sasuke glared at him slightly but the sadness overpowered his will to show how displeased he was with Kakashi's comment. Sasuke felt a tear stream down his face and wiped it away only to have more follow.
Kakashi stopped what he was doing and went over to sit by Sasuke's side, pulling him close and hugging him, letting Sasuke cry into his shirt for as long as he needed.
Kakashi sighed internally, concern showing on his face, 'What else happened to you that we don't know about...'
