Notes: Takes place after Fallen

---

A hand slammed down on the wall next to a blond head. Dark eyes glared down into sheepish blue. Naruto couldn’t help but swallow hard as Sasuke trapped him against the wall just outside of his dorm room.

“What did you just say.” Sasuke said between his teeth, eyes narrowing a fraction.

“Well… You’ve had time to get used to the idea, so I don’t see what the big deal is.” Naruto glared back, pushing off of the wall and getting into Sasuke’s face, “I said sensei and I are going out tonight because it’s our one month anniversary!”

Sasuke backed up a fraction before dropping his hand, “You need to break up with him tonight.” His tone grew darker, almost hinting coldness.

He knew what his brother was doing. He’s seen it several times before, when Itachi was still in school, both in high school and in college. Itachi would use his so-called lovers just for their bodies until he got bored of them. They were things to him. Itachi didn’t love. Sasuke thought he was incapable of the emotion since their parents had been murdered in front of his eyes.

“No way! I like sensei and sensei likes me! You’re just jealous, Sasuke!” Naruto was shouting now. He couldn’t understand why his best friend couldn’t just accept his dating his older brother. Why not just be one big happy family? Naruto would have liked that – loved it, even. The only family Naruto had was Gaara, his closest friend. No one else.

“I’m not jealous, usuratonkachi! Itachi’s using you! He doesn’t care about your feelings or anything else! Just get out of the stupid relationship before he gets tired of you.”

Naruto clenched his fist before outright punching Sasuke across the cheek, sending the taller teen stumbling back several steps.

“It’s not stupid, Sasuke! Why don’t you just butt out?! It’s not your love life anyway!” With that, Naruto pushed past the brunet and stomped his way up to his dorm room to fume to his roommate.

With a sigh, Sasuke rubbed his cheek and watched the blond leave. With the shake of his head, Sasuke made his way into his room while muttering, “Don’t come to me if your heart gets broken, dobe. I warned you.”
