His heartbeat was loud in his ears and his head was a mess. He looked up at the sky trying to find the sun, but it had already hid behind the horizon, dim rays coming from behind a hill. For a moment he didn’t even know how he wound up there, but then it came back to him. His father had basically made him choose between Naruto and the company. He had to get out of the office because his head was spinning, so he left Itachi there with their father as he just grabbed his wallet from the living room before storming out of the house. He started to walk aimlessly. He figured it was way better if he could have just gotten into a car, but since he wasn’t the legal age for driving, yet, he was left with little options. He started walking down the narrow road which lead from their house to the city. Sasuke didn’t exactly know where he was headed or why, but it did him good to just walk it off. However now, it was getting dark and cold and he realized he had gotten pretty far from the house. Sighing, he checked his pockets, looking for his phone. With dread and annoyance he realized he didn’t get the chance to also take that in his hurry to escape. Well, Naruto and Itachi might get worried, he thought as he realized he had no means of contacting either of them. He stopped for a moment looking around, trying to figure out just how far from home he really was. After a quick inspection, the boy realized he was approximately half way through. At this point it was kinda the same for his legs whether he decided to go back or forward. But what about his brain? Had he decided what he was gonna do? At first he had thought his father’s proposal was ludicrous and the answer to it was obvious – he would pick Naruto. That was his incipient thought, but now it didn’t seem so clear anymore. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that he had wanted his father’s approval for far longer than he wanted Naruto. Yes, he loved Naruto with all his heart, but was what they had as strong as it needed to be in order to fulfill Sasuke in such a way that he would be able to give up his father’s recognition? The more he thought about it, the more he realized the choice was not as easy as he had initially thought. As he was lost deep in thought again, his body started walking towards the city. Well, he guessed his subconscious had made one decision for him…now all that was left to do was for his conscious mind to take the other. It was getting pretty dark and Sasuke realized that the road was not lit. Of course it wouldn’t be, he thought. It was just a small road which connected the city to a small town near it. The realization made him feel anxious and a little worried. What would he do once the night was so dark that he couldn’t see in front of himself. As he thought about all of that, he saw light coming from behind him. The boy turned around to see headlights in the distance, approaching him. He felt a jolt of excitement and happiness. He signaled the car that was approaching and when it pulled over and rolled down the driver’s window, Sasuke looked at the man behind the steering wheel. He appeared to be a man in his late thirties and he was alone in the car. Under any other circumstances, Sasuke wouldn’t even dream of talking to the man, let alone get in his car, but his situation was dodgy, so between two bads, he had to pick the less terrible one. “Hello” the boy said, trying to sound confident, but his voice coming out small. “Good evening.” Said the man. “I-…um, are you heading to the city?” “Yeah…do you need a ride?” “Umm, yes…if it isn’t too much trouble.” “Not at all, hop in.” Sasuke was hesitant to get into the car with the stranger and he walked around the car slowly, but eventually got into the seat next to the driver. The man started the car. He didn’t look particularly dangerous, but then again, the most dangerous men never do, Sasuke thought. “So where are you going boy?” “Sasuke. I-…I’m not sure.” “Well, well…you look kinda young. Wondering about at night, not knowing where you are going. Are you a runaway, kid?” “NO, NO.” Sasuke was a little quick to answer and his voice was a little loud, which earned him a strange look from the driver. “No, I’m aaa…well…I…I’m not that young. Ahem, I’m 18.” The brunet lied. The man driving the car raised an eyebrow and didn’t say anything for a while. It wasn’t long before Sasuke could see the lights of the city and people walking around. He let out a breath of relief, but tried to not make it too obvious to the stranger driving. “So, have you decided where I should drop you off?” “Hmm…I-...” The boy seemed to take too long to answer and the man was losing his patience. So he said annoyed. “Look, I’m going to a bar to meet some friends. I will just drop you off there, and from there you will figure out on your own where it is you want to go.” “Ok dono.” Sasuke said humbly and a little scared. He didn’t particularly like the tone of voice the man was using. They reached the bar soon and Sasuke was left standing in front of what looked like a very questionable establishment. The man had already walked inside, but the boy still couldn’t decide what to do. He looked around and there weren’t so many people. He could just get inside, get warm, think, and then use the bar’s phone to call Itachi to come pick him up. He walked in and looked around the dimly lit room. The music was not too loud and the patronage was not too selective. Still he went in and sat at the bar. “What’ll it be?” The boy looked up at the barman, who approached him while wiping a glass. The man had his eyebrows raised, waiting for Sasuke to answer. “Whisky.” The brunet spoke before he had time to think. He had never had alcohol before in his life, which might have been odd for a boy his age, but he guessed he had never had the change until now. His voice must have sound confident because the man behind the bar didn’t even think about asking for an ID before he poured the brown liquid into a glass. Or maybe this wasn’t the type of bar where they asked for your ID. Sasuke picked up the glass bringing it to his lips before taking a small sip. His senses were invaded by a foul, burning taste. He swallowed and he felt the fiery drink all the way until it reached his stomach. It burned like lava and he hated the aroma of it. Still, after a few seconds the burning subsided and before he knew what he was doing to took another gulp. He was finishing his third glass when he realized he didn’t even feel the booze burning his insides anymore. Instead there was another pain searing his chest. While he drank he thought about everything that had happened. He thought about his brother’s story and felt a jolt of happiness because Itachi had finally figured out what made him enjoy life. But then he thought of his father and this reaction to Itachi’s words and not only that. He pondered upon his dad’s request and he could not believe the betrayal he felt from the older man. His own father wasn’t able to accept him and moreover, ask him to change so blatantly. He thought about what his father demanded and he tried to imagine what his life would be like if he accepted the proposal. He imagined a life without Naruto and a life in which he had to hide who he was constantly. He snorted as he realized he would probably end up like Itachi – detesting it. Also he felt like the bottom of his stomach was missing when he trying to imagine what it would be like to not be able to touch the blonde, to kiss him, to make him his. There was no possible way for him to look in those big blue eyes and restrain himself from reaching out and touching the other boy. Sasuke was entrenched in his thoughts and didn’t notice the man from earlier sitting next to him at the bar. He met two other men, but they remained at their previous table. “So what’s on your mind kid?” he started talking, startling Sasuke. The brunet looked up at the man, but the action of moving his head so fast made him woozy. He felt the slight need to puke, but he breathed deep through his nose and the nasty sensation passed. “I am troubled…” he started talking, not even fully conscious of what he was saying. He had never felt so uninhibited in his entire life. No wonder people liked to drink alcohol if it made you feel like that. He felt as if he could talk about anything, not feeling fear or shame. So he continued, “My father doesn’t like me very much I think.” “Hm, how so?” the stranger enquired. “He-…he doesn’t want me to become the heir of the family business. I mean, the alleged heir was my older brother, but he hated his life and was depressed and his girlfriend died and my father didn’t understand him and he almost died because of a road truck and then he met a girl and fell in love and said fuck this shit and decided to travel with her because he wants to travel, which is…I don’t know why, but anyway and she is a writer so they will travel.” Sasuke stopped to catch his breath not recognizing himself. He never spoke so much, and especially not to strangers and not about things as personal as this. Still, once he started talking he couldn’t stop for some reason. He took the last sip of whisky he had on the bottom of his glass before continuing. “So, you see I always wanted to be my brother because he is very cool. He always had good grades and friends and everybody loved him and my father loved him. So I just want, you know, to be loved like Itachi is…especially by my dad…mostly by my dad. But he doesn’t like me and he doesn’t want me to become the heir of the company.” “Why?” the stranger asked, curiosity peaked. “Because I’m gay. I am gay and I’m in a relationship with my step-brother, which isn’t exactly my brother; he is just a boy that my family took in when we were little because his parents’ died. My dad says it’s bad for the image of the company, but who the fuck cares who I like to fuck. It’s nobody’s god damn business if I like to suck cock and fuck my boyfriend’s ass. No, nobody cares, so it’s just a front, I know it is. My dad just doesn’t like me gay so he is using the company image as an excuse to turn me straight. But he’s not gonna, because I shit on his company and on everyone who has a problem with me being gay. Fuck all of them.” Sasuke stopped talking because the man stood up and without a word walked back to his palls at their table. The boy would have thought the behavior was peculiar had he been more sober. Under his current condition however, he couldn’t care less. He just felt the need to puke aggravate and he went to the toilet where he threw up everything. He came back, horrible taste in his mouth, but his head a little more clear. He decided it was time to phone Itachi and end all of this. He called his older brother, who was indeed crazy with worry and explained where he was. Itachi said he would arrive in 10 minutes and after he paid for his drinks, Sasuke decided to step outside for a breath of fresh air, hopefully making him feel a little better. He walked out of the bar and took in the deserted surroundings. Music could be heard from the bar, but other than that he could hear his heart beat, not a single sound disturbing him. He closed his eye and gently threw his head back, breathing the chilly night air. For a moment the noise of the music intensified and the sound of the door opening could be heard. The next thing Sasuke knew he was being hoisted up and taken in what he assumed must have been the back of the bar. He looked around as best as he could given his position and recognized the man who drove him to town. He wanted to open his mouth to ask what was going on, but his back hit concrete so hard that his lungs were deflated. His head had also hit the ground hard and he could feel hot liquid gush out of his skull. He was confused and dizzy and all he could see was the driver come at him as if he was preparing to hit a football. Next he felt a sharp pain in his stomach and his eyes watered up as he struggled to take a breath but couldn’t. “You like to suck cock, ne? You like to fuck ass, ne?” The kicks continued and the boy could feel new feet kicking his back. His body was numb with pain and his vision was blurry. The last thing he heard before blacking out was, “Filthy motherfucker fag. Fucking your brother? You sick, disgusting freak. Fuck all of you. You queers should all be put to death you deranged bastards.”
