Big brother
Hanging up the phone Sasukes mind went over what he would have to do. Itachi was just outside the complex it’d take him 17 seconds to get inside to the elevator, fifteen seconds to get past security, six seconds for the elevators doors to open and-
“Hey! Sasuke! What’s up man? On second you’re-”
“No time to explain. Right now we have five minutes twenty seconds to clean up the remaining debris in my apartment and close up the hole.” With that said Sasuke walked over to where they had left the cleaning supplies and threw a dust-pan and brush at Naruto, signalling to be quick about it.
“What? Four minutes? To close up the wall? You’re crazy.”
“We can just use my bed sheets or pare curtains, something! My brother is coming over in less than five minutes and he very, very intimidating. If you think I’m scary, wait till you meet the guy I looked up to.”
Wait Sasuke had a brother? Naruto didn’t know that. Wait, she did. She just forgot about it since he was currently in bed with her aunt. Actually she didn’t know anything about her neighbour besides his home habits.
Shaking her head she quickly got to work removing the remaining debris around the few places she and Sasuke had missed, such as the bookshelf.
As soon as it was clean Sasuke came in with his curtains, nails and a hammer.
“You were serious about using a curtain.”
“It’s the same size of the hole in the wall. I’ll just tell him some half assed lie.”
He got two chairs, getting Naruto to stand on one whilst he held it up. A minute later they wall was covered with two dark curtains. It actually looked to be the same shade as the wall anyway.
Sasukes whole place was dark, the exact opposite to Naruto’s apartment. Hers was brightly painted ad the curtains were open nearly all day.
Before Sasuke could get Naruto to go into her side of the apartment Sasukes front door opened and a loud voice said, “Little brother, I’m coming in!”
“Shit.” He muttered. “Hide.” He turned around and faced his brother who was taking off his coat and shoes whilst Naruto went to hide in Sasukes storage room.
“Baby brother! I’m here!” sang Itachi as he walked into the living area.
“There’s no point in saying you’re coming in, Itachi, if you’re already in.”
“Ooh someone’s a little cranky. Is it because my little brother didn’t get to go work today?” Itachi ruffles Sasukes’ hair and went to the coffee table and put the food there, “Well tough, even the night shift has been cancelled today so stop whining. Anyway, I’ve brought you some food from the local convenience store and a pizza from the shop down the road if you don’t want that. Oh, and I brought some of those vegetables you leave at my house to rot.” Itachi let out a deep sigh, “I don’t know why you have a fetish for that sort of thing, but oh well.” With that he sat down, taking a quick look around the place.
“I do not have a fetish!” yelled Sasuke, Itachi always knew how to grate on his nerves.
“Ah-ha. Sit down and eat already. I’d like to hear all about this busty blonde Tsunade seems to think you’re shacking it up with.” Itachi raised a brow as he folded a leg over the other, arm perched across the sofa.
“Auntie’s misinformed. I’m not sleeping with my neighbour. I’m torturing her with my neighbour. She just waltzed in here without permission. I felt the need to remind her why that’s rude.” He replied as she saw Naruto discreetly open a crack of the door to have a look at his brother.
He sat down on his armchair as his brother spoke up, “And who might this busty blonde exactly? Last I heard, you were still highly infatuated with your neighbour… oh what’s the term? ... Ah yea, neighbour-sexual. In fact, I’m sure you secretly eloped with her, if you did, I demand a redo of your wedding.”
Sasuke blinked at his brother’s question, not hearing word but not understandings them very well, “I am not neighbour-sexual, and whatever that is. Is that even a thing? And where the hell did me marrying her come from?”
“You could have fooled me. All I’ve heard from you about your personal life is how your neighbour watches what you do, sings in a nice voice, how you fell asleep to her singing one of your favourite, how the two of you watch the same TV shows most of the time, so on and so forth.” He paused looking Sasuke directly in the eye before saying, “You’re not secretly married to her are you, little brother? I don’t mind if you are, really I just wasn’t to witness it is all.”
Sasuke just stared blankly at his older brother before saying, “Well now that you’ve dropped off some food, why don’t you head off home-” Sasuke said as he picked his brother off the sofa and tried to get him to leave but his brother interrupted him.
“Sasuke. Why is your curtain nailed into the wall? Don’t tell me you and your neighbour do kinky shit like that through a window or something?” Asked Itachi as he was forced off the sofa, pointing a finger to the wall they had covered.
“… Where did you come up with that conclusion?” he pausing pushing his brother for a moment before continuing it up.
“That doesn’t answer my question.”
Silently Sasuke cursed, this was not what he had in mind when he told Naruto he would come up with a half assed lie. “If you must know… Naruto has had some break in’s recently so we agreed to have a window put there temporarily. Of course, peeking in either one will be hard since it’s been nailed in.”
“You’re lying. When you’re lying, you’re hiding something from me. Pray tell little brother, what might you be hiding from you’re only brother? Hmm?” he inched his face closer to Sasukes in order to fluster the young Uchiha and get him to unintentionally start talking.
“Why would I hide anything? I have nothing to hide-”
“Whoever is behind that door come out now, or I will shoot you.”
Sasuke cursed. One, because Itachi had noticed someone was there and two because Naruto being the idiot she was, especially after the warning Sasuke had given about his brother, she would come out. After a few seconds passed he could feel Naruto’s will slowly begin to leak out of her, “Don’t-” he meant it towards Naruto but he continued, “-point a fucking gun in my house Itachi.”
Pausing a moment Itachi sighed and put his gun in his holster under his suit, “Well then. I’m going to the bathroom.” With that he went to the bathroom, not fully closing the door behind him, but neither neighbour noticed that.
“Quickly. Go back to your side. Before he gets out.” Sasuke whispered to Naruto
There was one thing they hadn’t counted on though. Sasuke has laminated floor, like Naruto’s, but Naruto was only wearing socks and no shoes or sandals.
She slipped and landed on her back, hitting the back of her head so hard she swore she got a concussion.
Maybe faking sleeping would be the wiser course of action here, so that’s just what she did. Making her breathing low and shutting her eyes she feigned sleep.
“Hey. You alive?” Sasuke said as he started to poke Naruto in the face, “If you’re dead I’m not burying you, remember?”
Opening her eyes she said in a hoarse voice, “Bastard. If I- really am going to- die. There’s something- I’ve been meaning to- tell you.” She said between pauses, “I think- you look hot- when you’re firing- your gun.”
That was quite the confession his neighbour had said to him. Damn Naruto for making this moment more serious than it actually was. “Is that so?” he replied looking Naruto in the eye.
------------
Itachi, who was standing in the bathroom doorway, didn’t know what to do. He felt very out of place watching this, what seemed to be, moment of…intense eye fucking. “Care to introduce us?” his hand was on his gun, so if needs be he could shoot the woman on his brothers floor.
To both brothers surprise it was Naruto who got up and answered, “I’m Naruto Uzumi. Sasukes next door neighbour. Just his neighbour”
Looking at Naruto he examined her, shoulder length blond hair, striking blue eyes and three whisker like scars running across both her cheeks. Everything about her screamed familiar. Itachi would have to rake through his brain later to figure out where he had seen this person.
He reached his right hand out for her to shake which she did, “Itachi Uch-”
“Uchiage. Itachi Uchiage. My older brother.” Sasuke finished, looking pointedly at his older brother.
Good, Sasuke was being cautious of his identity. This ensured Sasuke’s safety as well as Naruto’s.
“Oh and Itachi… the next time you have sex with my aunt, I will have to ask you to leave some sort of sign saying that. You’re both loud and tend not to care where you go at it.” With that said she decided to feign sleep again and dropped himself backwards.
As Naruto was dropping, Sasuke stretched out his arm, cushioned her fall as to not further injure herself. At this, Itachi raised his eyebrow.
How very… kind and chivalrous of him. Thought Itachi. It was then that Itachi saw the mark on her ankle, the same marking that every member of the night shift was mandated to have on them.
This girl worked for the company. He would have to go through the files and perhaps even ask Inaho as to who this young female in front of him was. It was then what she had said sunk in. she was Inaho’s niece… he had been under the impression she only had a nephew… who had the same first name.
Naruto Uzumaki was crossdressing as a male. Now all he needed to do was finf out why.
Sasuke closed his eyes and reopened them before he said, “She’s just my neighbour. She asked me to get some stuff for her since she’s hurt and I forgot to give them to her, and she came to collect them.”
Itachi looked closely at the two of them finally noticing the pinkish marks on Sasukes’ neck and smirked before saying, “Oh. Then why is there an orange toothbrush next to your own dark blue one? Another hamper in your bathroom? And as a cherry on top, she’s wearing one of your shirts.”
Sasuke cursed. How could he be so careless? Itachi was the most perceptive person he knew, with the best eyesight of any other assassin he had ever met. Of course he would notice those extra things in his bathroom and his clothes on someone else. Now how to get out of this situation?
“Is that why you needed to wash your sheets, baby brother? Rough night?” There was an unusual glint in his eyes that Sasuke had seen whenever his brother wanted to cause a bout of mischief, which was never good for him.
Again Sasuke cursed his brother’s perceptiveness. He hadn’t even noticed that his brother had gone into his bedroom let alone noticed that he had washed his sheets the previous day.
His brother wasn’t wrong exactly, but the type of rough night both brothers had in mind were entirely different. Sasukes type of rough night was, in fact, having Naruto sleep in the bed with him, constantly using his chest as a pillow and squeezing him closer. Naruto even, somehow, straddled him at one point and decided to choke him. That was his limit, he somehow managed to wake the blonde up whose face went beat red and she ran to sleep on the sofa instead. He ended up feeling bad and picked her, carrying her back to bed, in the morning he told Naruto she must have dreamed the whole thing up.
So yes, he had had a rough night. But there was no way in hell he was telling his brother the truth so instead and let out a deep sigh and just when he was about to speak Naruto spoke up again, “If you’re planning on social suicide…just don’t… drag me with you… I’ve still… got things I need to do… family related stuff.”
Looking into his eyes he let out another sigh before saying, “Yes. A rough night indeed.”
That was not the reply Itachi was looking for. Looking between the two neighbours on the ground, then back at the marks on Sasukes neck before saying, “Well. Lord have mercy upon my soul for my eyes hath been tainted. I must now cleanse them with holy water lest I be tainted too, and my perfect vision be gone by dusk” With that Itachi got his coat and before closing the door he said, “Goodnight kids!” with that he closed the door.
----------------
After what felt like forever, “Your brother is… how should I put it? An odd one? No that’s not it, though he is odd. Hmm maybe…” As Naruto was rambling on all Sasuke could think about was what his brother had misunderstood and what the outcome would be.
Itachi was overprotective and that in itself caused a lot of problems for him, so now that his brother thinks he’s screwing his neighbour… he could feel the headache coming so he stopped his train of thought.
“Don’t mind my brother. As long as he doesn’t catch on about the missing wall, everything will be fine. Anyway, how’s your back? Do you want me to check it for you?” he said as he raised his hand to lift up Narutos’ shirt but she raised her hands up.
As she did so she stubbornly said, “No thanks. I’m good. It hardly hurt.”
Sasuke gave him a confused look in reply. All he wanted to do was to check if his neighbour was okay. After all, the other night she had gotten injured at work, a cat had bitten him the day before that and now she had fallen backwards and most likely had a concussion.
Well, Sasuke could be stubborn as well. He leaned forward and got straight in Narutos’ face and said, “You know… when you say no to me… it gets on my nerves.” With that he grabbed the hem of his neighbours’ shirt and started to tickle her.
It was then that he noticed a very important thing. Naruto had left the bathroom only a short while ago… with no bra on. It explained why she didn’t want him to check her.
Disregarding that, he continued to raise her shirt, one hand to her back which was in front of him and the other hand slowly going up her stomach till it reached the lapses of her breasts, causing her to gasp and get up, swaying ever so slightly as she made her way out.
“Hey! Naruto wait!” he raised his hand to stop Naruto but she was already gone.
Damn she moved fast. “Well great job Sasuke. You have successfully freaked out your neighbour. Well done.” He said to himself sarcastically. As if Itachi saying he might be neighbour sexual wasn’t enough, he may just have proven he was. “Fuck. I’m an idiot.”
---------------
Naruto held back her fury she was feeling. Sasuke, the bastard, had tried to feel her up.
The next time he tried that without her permission first, she was going to kick him in the nuts.
Sighing she picked up her phone, deciding she needed to know whether or not she could go and kill someone tonight, “Hey Sakura… Do you know if I’m in tonight or not?” she asked as soon as the pinkette answered.
“Oh, Naruto. I was just about to ring you as well. No. nobody was allowed into work today since there was a lot of cases of staff being followed. Inaho and the others are trying to figure out things like a pattern and stuff like that.”
Naruto held back her disappointment as she replied, “Okay. Thankyou. I’ll see you when I see you then.” She then hung up, not allowing time for Sakura to ask about Ino had told her earlier.
