previous parts: one
*Part Ten: Transient*
I’m angry. But don’t let me fool you into thinking I haven’t been dreaming about this day forever.
And Itachi did come for him. It was when he least expected it. When he stopped looking for Itachi in every shadow and every corner. When he stopped believing Itachi had ever really contacted him those many years ago.
And when Itachi did appear, in the middle of the day, Sasuke passed right by him. thinking it was his imagination.
His surprise quickly turned to anger when Itachi embraced him. He was real, all right.
“Itachi, what..”
But Itachi held up a finger and Sasuke fell silent.
“Hello, Kakashi.”
Sasuke whipped around.
“This will just take a moment.” Itachi didn’t even look back as he and Kakashi took off running in the direction of the mountains.
Sasuke was half out of his mind with impatience and giddiness. Itachi was back. He’d come back. They were going to leave.
“Are you really gonna leave?”
Naruto.
“Yeah. I mean, there’s no way Itachi and I can stay here.”
“I’ll miss you.”
Naruto wasn’t looking at Sasuke which was good because Sasuke couldn’t look at him just then.
“Yeah.”
“Can I wait with you?”
“Sure.”
And it was a good thing, too. Because it was Naruto who hugged Sasuke. Who, when Kakashi came back with bruises and a grim smile, whispered everything was going to be okay, Teme, you have me. And do you want to sit down? You look a bit pale. Someone get him a glass of water!
Naruto who asked the dreaded question.
“Is Itachi dead?”
And when Kakashi nodded yes, it was Naruto who squeezed Sasuke’s shoulder and kissed his mouth clumsily.
It was Naruto who he stayed with. Naruto whom he made love to every night. Naruto, whose neck he bit again and again. Naruto’s body that Sasuke imagined to be lither, paler. It was Naruto who did everything for Sasuke, who communicated Sasuke’s needs and wants when Sasuke could not utter a single word. Naruto who washed him and loved him even though Sasuke cursed at him and the world. Naruto who slept beside him, who nursed him back to help when he was sick. And it was Naruto who stayed by Sasuke side, even after realizing that it would change nothing. That no matter what Naruto did, Sasuke could not- would not- love him.
*Part Eleven: The Price of Forever*
Prove to me you’re not an illusion.
And then, as though time had never passed, Itachi reappeared. At midnight in Sasuke’s room that he shared with Naruto. But Naruto had gone to visit Iruka….
“Stay away from me.” Sasuke did not recognize his voice. Was it really that sharp? “I thought you were dead. Kakashi…”
Itachi stared at him steadily. “Kakashi wanted me to bite him.”
“What?”
“I refused. He wanted to know the pain Obito went through. Obito was like you, Sasuke. He was pure. But he was bitten by a rogue vampire.”
Itachi stepped closer to him. “I had to make sure you didn’t want to live a normal life. And also, that you wanted me.”
That voice. It made Sasuke want to cry. So familiar and warm and deep.
Itachi, in all his beauty and regality, looked lonely. And Sasuke was putty in his hands.
“Nii-san, don’t you know? You’re the only one for me.”
But his thoughts were different.
You can’t do this, Aniki. It’s not fair. I’ve moved on.
Good. Because this can’t be voluntary. Then as an afterthought, This will hurt.
“What? But I bit Naruto and it didn’t hurt him.”
He flinched, knowing Itachi hated it when he didn’t communicate telepathically. But Itachi just pulled him into an awkward hug, and pushed his head to the side.
That, Otouto, is because you are a pure vampire.
And then Sasuke was in excruciating pain. It lanced through him, flowed through his veins, wrapping tight around him like cords, needles digging in ruthlessly everywhere.
But he felt Itachi’s arm around him, supporting him, and it was sold and real. It grounded him.
His happiness with Naruto…his love for the blonde idiot was weak, tenuous compared to this. To the bond he shared with Itachi.
“Why does it have to hurt so much?” he whispered into the nape of Itachi’s neck. He smelled like clean snow and rain. He couldn’t resist anymore. Sasuke bit him back and the blood that welled from the wound was power itself. Then Itachi gently guided Sasuke’s head up so their lips could crash together. Their blood mixed between them, mingling as their fates already had.
Because I love you too much for you not to be mine.
Sasuke may have been bleeding, on the edge of passing out due to pain, battered and crying. But he was no longer broken. He was whole, complete for the first time in years.
Because that is the price of our love.
