The Prodigy

Chapter 10

Running Away

Sasuke's eyes narrowed. Was Itachi just harassing him or was he serious. Itachi wasn't one to joke, so Sasuke took his word for it. Itachi stood in front of the door, so there was no way that Sasuke could escape the room. There was only one thing for him to do, fight off his brother's advances. Itachi took a step toward him.

“I thought you said that you want me to come to you? I thought you wanted me to submit first?” Sasuke forced his voice to work.

Itachi stopped and stared at him for a long intense moment. Sasuke was right, he did want the boy to yield. He wanted Sasuke crawling on his hands and knees, begging for it. Itachi was just having a difficult time staying firm on his decision. He was so hard it hurt and Sasuke was looking so delicious in his suit coat. Cheeks flushed, lips parted and slightly red from earlier abuse. Those dark brown eyes were large and glazed. Yeah, it was getting really challenging not to take what he wanted so badly.

“Get out.” Itachi stated, in a rough voice.

Sasuke didn't question it. He started to move past his brother, glad that the man had a change of heart. He had his hand on the door when he was turned and slammed up against it, violently. He stared at his brother, surprised. Then they were kissing.

He moaned loudly as his eyes fell closed. His body weight going out from under him. The only thing holding him up was Itachi's body weight against the door. It felt so good to be pressed against it.

A warm wet tongue glided across the seam of his lips and he let them separate. His stomach knotting excruciatingly at the feel of his brother mapping out the area of his mouth. He wanted Itachi so bad, it wasn't even funny. The way he felt in Itachi's arms, was the way he wanted to feel for the rest of his life. This was right, no matter what anybody else thought about it. This was love.

Suddenly, Itachi was backing away from him and turned to face the opposite wall. Sasuke started descending down the door and quickly got his feet back under himself. He stared at Itachi's back for a second longer, before opening the door and leaving quickly. He may be in love with his brother, but he still had his reservations about sleeping with the man. For the love of god, the older Uchiha owned a bondage club.

Sasuke knew if he got serious with his brother, there was going to be a lot more then just a relationship with him. There would be bondage, lots of sex, crazy people he'd see a lot of and most of all, Itachi. That was the part that made him happy. Even if his brother was a little intimidating.

Sasuke spent the rest of the day watching how the staff functioned together. He was really impressed with place. Itachi became a whole different person when he was dealing with the restaurant. He was shocked that the place was so high in demand. The staff were very professional and Itachi was friendly to everyone, except him.

Itachi had made a point to stay as far away from him as possible and Sasuke was a little hurt. He knew that the morning had started out really rough, but he didn't expect his brother to act like this. It was almost like Itachi didn't want him around at all.

Sasuke was making his way to go outside when he ran smack into Genma. He stumbled back a little bit, startled at how hard Genma's body was. He looked up at the man with a scowl of his face.

“Hey kid, what's up?” Genma asked, with a smile as he swirled his senbon in his mouth.

Sasuke realized then that he hadn't seen the man with it at the club. Which was strange because he had never seen the man without it. He must have had other, more important things on his mind not to notice.

“Don't call me that.” He snapped.

“Where's your brother?”

“Fuck if I know.” Sasuke answered, walking past the older man to outside.

“Hey Genma.” Itachi's deep voice sounded from in front of him.

“What's his problem?” Genma asked, pointing over his shoulder.

“Hell if I know. There is always something wrong with him.”

“You didn't do anything to him, did you?”

Itachi glared at him but didn't say a word. The older Uchiha turned and headed into the kitchen, most likely making his way to office. Genma followed, but didn't press for an answer to his question. He already knew. He followed the Prodigy into the office and took the seat next to the door.

“So why are you here, Genma?”

“Well, I was thinking of letting you take the week off. Since you have your brother, I thought maybe you would like to have some brother bonding time together.”

“Don't make me laugh. There is no way I'm taking a week off of work. Are you insane? This place will fall to pieces if you are left here alone.”

“Actually I won't be alone. Hayate has agreed to help me out and so has Iruka and Kakashi.”

“So you have already told them to come?” Itachi asked, in a hard voice.

“Well, kind of. I knew that you would pull this shit. So I already made arrangements, so that you really don't have a choice but to do as I request.”

“No!”

Genma stared at the younger man. God, Itachi was such an ass some times. But he wouldn't be Itachi, if he wasn't. Genma suddenly burst out laughing. He couldn't help it. The whole situation was just too funny. Genma had to hold his stomach as he bent over his knees to try to stop the pain.

“What's so funny, Genma?” Itachi retorted.

“Is it really going to kill you to take a small vacation, Itachi? Or is it being alone with Sasuke that scares you?” Genma panted out, wiping the tears away from the corner of his eyes.

Itachi's face hardened and Genma cheered for a victory well won. The Prodigy leaned forward, so they were almost nose to nose. The smile still graced Genma's lips as he watched Itachi's eyes flash red. He found an insane urge to kiss the younger man. Itachi was just too cute when he was mad.

“Let's get one thing straight. I'm not doing this for you. Second thing, I'm not afraid to be alone with Sasuke, but the boy's well being is thoroughly in danger. If I get stuck for a week with him, you can guarantee that the boy's ass will be well used when I get done with it. Now get the fuck out of my office, and don't come back here until five.”

Genma stood to his feet and saluted the man. He walked out, his face lit in a full grin. Itachi could have easily told him there was no way that he was going to take work off and leave it at that. Genma knew the boy better though. He knew if you played the `less then a man' card, he would get exactly what he wanted and he did. Itachi was just to easy to toy with, if you knew how. Okay Sasuke, now the rest is up to you.

Hours later, Sasuke found himself walking back to the restaurant. He had walked the little strip mall so he could sort through his frazzled thoughts. Sasuke made his way to the entrance of the building and was about to walk in the front doors of the restaurant, when something caught his eye. He turned his head to watch the car going by. He could have sworn that was Sakura. It wasn't, but he hadn't stopped walking and ran straight into Itachi. He really needed to start watching were he was going. This was getting ridiculous.

He made a sound of alarm and went to step away, but his arms were caught. He was forced to stay, so he looked up to make eye contact with the beautiful dark eyes of his brother. His heart faltered and his mouth suddenly went desert dry. He quickly wet his lips with a flick of his tongue. Itachi's eyes darted down to follow the movement, then lingered there.

The older Uchiha seemed to mentally shake himself free of the spell he was under and slowly stepped away from Sasuke. He let go of the arms and cleared his throat a little. Sasuke felt a little surprised, but hide it well.

“You should watch where you are going? If that would have been a customer, you could have hurt them.” Itachi's voice sounded harshly strained.

“Yeah, I'm sorry.” Sasuke whispered.

The atmosphere between them was awkward and strained. The tension was heavy in the air. Sasuke was finding it hard to even hold eye contact with his brother. What was happening between them? They had never felt like this toward each other before.

“Genma, should be here any moment. I'll give him a report, then we'll go home.” Itachi turned and walked away.

Sasuke found himself watching his brother's back. His heart was tightening painfully in his chest and he was having a hard time breathing. He grabbed the front of the jacket with his left hand and took deep breaths, trying to minimize the pain. Closing his eyes tightly, trying to think of something other then Itachi.

“Are you okay, kid?” Genma's voice resonance behind him.

Sasuke's spun around surprised. He nodded his head slowly and pushed pass the older man. He needed some fresh air before he passed out. He was feeling suffocated. He didn't need Genma harassing him for answers, so here he was running away. Something he never did. What was Itachi doing to him?

Genma watched Sasuke walk out. He was starting to get alarmed. Sasuke looked like he was really hurt. Was Genma reading Itachi wrong? No, Itachi had told him that he was interested in the younger Uchiha. So, why was Sasuke so skittish? It didn't make sense.

Genma decided he'd leave it alone. It really wasn't any of his business. He made his way to the office. The staff all greeted him on the way in. He turned the corner to the backroom. He was surprised to see the door open. Itachi sat in the chair, in front of the desk. His elbows were resting on the wood top and he had his palms pressed against his eyes.

Well, well, well, it looked like Sasuke wasn't the only one that was hurting. Itachi was strung tight. His body language screamed that he was as tense as a bow string and the man looked like he was on the verge of breaking. Genma decided that he had read the whole scene wrong. He found a small smile gracing his lips as he coiled his senbon around his tongue. Oh yes, this was turning out better then he thought.

“Are you ready to go home? You look like your beat.”

Itachi looked up and if he could have been startled, he probably would have been. He was really preoccupied. Sasuke was doing a number on the older Uchiha. Genma almost felt sorry for Itachi. The poor man was not use to this at all. He usually didn't have to work for anything. It was always handed to him. Sasuke wasn't giving it up that easily and evidently, Itachi had anticipated him too.

“Yeah, everything the same as always. Except, Sasuke had managed to piss off a customer this morning and the man threatened to shut us down.”

“No shit? What happened?”

“I don't know exactly. I only caught the part where Sasuke told the man to get the fuck out, before he beat him out. Then the man said a few chose words and left.”

“Well, that makes me laugh. Sasuke can't seem to stay out of trouble no matter where he goes.”

“The little shit is driving me crazy.” Itachi countered, with a heavy sigh.

Yeah, in more ways than one. Genma thought as he smiled at the older Uchiha. This was the best entertainment that he has had in quite a while. It was exciting to watch.

“I bet. Well, get out of here and get some rest this week. You look like you're going to need it.”

Itachi made a harsh sound and rose to his feet. He cleaned up the desk a little and reached for his coat. He realized it wasn't there and remembered he had giving it to Sasuke. He pushed the chair in and headed for the door.

“Oi, Itachi. Why is Sasuke wearing your suit jacket?”

Itachi stopped as he thought about what he was going to say. It was very unprofessional of him, that he was in here earlier almost raping his brother. He really didn't want to tell Genma that he had tore the buttons off of Sasuke's shirt in a lust induced frenzy to get to the luscious flesh underneath. He only shrugged his shoulders.

“He said something about being cold.” Then he left.

“Yeah, I bet.” Genma laughed out to the empty room.

Itachi made his way out of the building, while looking around for his baby brother. He found him outside, waiting by the car. Itachi didn't say a word to him as he unlocked the doors and got into the driver's seat. The drive home was silent and distressing. Itachi glanced over at his brother and then back at the road.

Sasuke was staring out the window and hadn't moved. Itachi had looked very upset when he had exited the restaurant, so Sasuke figured, for his own health, that he wouldn't say anything unless spoken to. His chest still hurt. It seemed worse whenever he was around his brother.

“Genma took it upon himself to find coverage for me for the rest of the week. So, it looks like you and I will be spending it hanging out.”

“Well, that was nice of him.” Sasuke answered, not looking at Itachi.

“Do you still want me to take you home?” Itachi demanded, emotionlessly.

Sasuke felt that stabbing misery again in his chest. The thought of leaving Itachi was too much. It was definitely something that he didn't want to do. He wanted to be by Itachi's side. Even if that wasn't what Itachi wanted.

“I'll stay. Anyway, you want me to take over the restaurant. You're the only one who can teach me how to run it, so I need to be here.”

Itachi didn't know if he should feel frustrated or pleased. All he knew was if his brother didn't succumb soon, he was going to die or worse, force himself on his baby brother. That was the one thing he didn't want. When they made love it was going to be mutual. Wait! Did he just say `make love'? What the hell was he thinking? He really needed to go get his head examined. He was undeniably losing it.

The rest of the ride was silent. They pulled up to the drive way and Sasuke climbed out of the car. When he realized Itachi wasn't getting out, he opened the passenger door again and looked in at his brother. Itachi was holding out the house key to him. Sasuke took it, looking at the older Uchiha puzzled.

“What's this for?”

“What does it look like it's for?” Itachi said, looking at him like he was dumb.

“I know what the key is for.” Sasuke retorted, annoyed. “Why are you giving it to me?”

“I'm going out for a little bit. I'm sure you'll manage without me.” Itachi answered, flatly.

Sasuke stared at him for a long while. Why was it hurting so bad that his brother wanted to get away from him? He was confident that his brother was going out to the bar. He was just worried Itachi wouldn't come home and end up fucking some loser.

“I'll be fine.” Sasuke barked and slammed the door, brutally.

He stormed up to the front door, waiting for his brother to start yelling at him for hurting his poor car. It never came. After Sasuke unlocked the door and opened it, he peeked over his shoulder. His brother still sat in the driveway studying him. He stepped into the house and closed the door. He leaned against it crushed and closed his eyes tightly, tipping his head back to rest on the wood.

He heard his brother peel out of the driveway and listened to the engine reeve as he sped away. Sasuke seized the jacket with both hands again as his knees started to weaken. He felt the sorrow feel his chest like a plague and felt the tears rise to the corner of his eyes. He refused to let them fall though.

He looked down at the floor, but his eyes were drawn to where his hands clasped at the black coat. Without thinking, he brought the material to his face. He inhaled deeply, taking in the musky scent that was uniquely Itachi. God, he had it bad for his aniki.

Itachi had already downed five shots of Jack Daniels and was feeling a nice buzz going on. He had come here, hoping to drown away some of the pain and strain he was feeling. He was psychologically numb by this point, but still Sasuke was on his mind.

He couldn't stop thinking about the boy, no matter how hard he tried. His baby brother was like a goddamn drug that he found himself craving continuously. He needed to get this game of `cat and mouse' over with. He just couldn't figure out how to do it without being the one to crack first. It was getting impossible for him to be around the boy without wanting to throw Sasuke down and get deep inside him.

He motioned to the bartender. The man had already poured him another shot and was coming over to him with it. The middle aged man set it down gently in front of him and watched him down it in a single gulp. He looked up at the man with a raised eyebrow.

“It's been a while since you've been here last, Uchiha.”

Itachi just grunted and pushed the shot glass toward him. The bartender was a good friend of his. They had grown close since the first time he had came to the Lucky Star. He use to come every day after work to have a few shots, so that he could go home and sleep a good night's rest. Lately, he had been to occupied.

“I know.” Itachi answered.

“You look really stressed. Do you want to talk about it?”

“Not really. You wouldn't really understand anyway.” Itachi grunted. “I don't even think I understand.”

“So, who's the guy?”

Itachi looked up at the man stunned. He was confused on how the man figured out what he had been stressing about. He had also been blown out of the water, that the man had figured out that he was gay. He had never told the bartender that.

“How the hell do you know it's a man?” Itachi snapped.

“Come on, Uchiha. You don't even look twice at a girl. I've seen the way you've watched some of the guys in here. Also, us gays have to stick together, if you know what I mean.” The bartender winked at him.

Itachi laughed. He couldn't help it. He was almost drunk and the man was so light hearted and laid back that he couldn't fight off the contagious waves rolling off the man. The bartender smiled and handed Itachi another shot.

“Well, I'd have to say you are quite perceptive. You nailed it. I am gay and yes, it is a guy.” Itachi stared at the empty shot glass, falling quite.

“Does he not want a stunning guy like you?”

“Na, it's not like that at all. It's quite the opposite.”

“What do you mean?” The bartender pressed gently.

Itachi tried to glare at the man, but it didn't work very well. If he wasn't drunk, he would have told the bartender to fuck off. If he wasn't drunk, he would have never told the bartender what was going on between him and his brother. At least he wasn't drunk enough to tell the guy that the man that had him strung so tightly was actually his brother. He probably would have gave the man a heart attack.

The bartender looked like a pretty straight laced guy, except for being gay. Itachi was pretty sure the guy wouldn't agree with him wanting his own flesh and blood though. The bartender had been really quiet, while he listened to Itachi explain his story.

“It already sounds like you know what you should do.” The man stated.

“What?” Itachi said, like waking from a dream.

“You already know you want the boy. Obviously the boy wants you too. So why are you tormenting the both of you? One of you guy's need to set your pride aside and stop running away.” With that said, the bartender walked off.

Itachi stared after him, his mind in shock. It took a whole five minutes for that whole thing to sink in. When it did, he shot to his feet. The man was right. Itachi would still get Sasuke to surrender to him at the end of this whole chaos, but why couldn't Itachi be the one to break first. He would get a new pet, get laid, and get Sasuke at the end of all this.

He knew that he had told Sasuke that he had to submit first. But Sasuke had surrendered on countless times. Every time they got close to doing it, his baby brother had turned into a puddle of mush in front of him. If that wasn't succumbing, then he didn't know what was.

He pulled out his wallet and threw a fifty down on the bar and made his way outside, oblivious to the smiling bartender. He moved the flaps of his half untucked shirt as he searched his pockets. Finding his car keys, he got in and started home. Sasuke had better be ready for him, because the boy wasn't getting away tonight.
