Chapter 4) Twenty-two years
Sasuke's intense dislike, bothering on hatred at times even, for girls – or as Aunt Kushina liked to teasingly say, "Your fangirls!" – was quite legendary both in their family and the village. He burned every love letter he received with a viciousness that at times worried Itachi; threw chocolates and other sweets straight into the garbage can – even if the boxes contained his favourite sweet – without even passing a look at them and rejected every girl who had gathered the courage to ask him out with such a sneering coldness, Naruto had taken him aside one day and had taught him – or more like practically beaten it into him – the right way to reject a girl he didn't like.
"No, thank you. I'm not interested."
The girls still cried, but at least their self-esteem wasn't entirely destroyed. Mostly not. Sasuke's reply of rejection was still a work in progress.
So in all those years, Sasuke had never shown interest in anyone trying to ask him out. The majority in their family had already started to wonder whether Sasuke would ever be interested in anyone – never mind that he was still only seventeen and there were a lot of people his age who weren't dating yet.
Either way, Sasuke had never expressed any interest in someone – which was why Itachi asked his brother to repeat his question.
"I said," Sasuke spoke through gritted teeth; his gaze stubbornly transfixed on the floor, "that I need your help in asking someone on a date."
Itachi leant back against the kitchen counter, trying not to let it show how thrown off he was by the request. "I didn't know you liked someone," he finally remarked after the silence grew tenser and tenser.
Sasuke shrugged, bringing one hand up to rub the back of his neck. "Yeah, well, I do," he muttered and that admittance seemed quite painful judging by the grimace tainting his mouth. "So are you going to help me or not?"
Itachi's immediate response was to tease his little brother, but he reigned in that urge. There was a time to tease the younger man and there was a time to not do that and this was one of those times. It had obviously taken Sasuke a lot to ask his big brother for help, judging by the uncomfortable look on his face, and if Itachi teased him now, he would clamp up completely and they would be back to square one.
"Sure," Itachi replied calmly and grabbed a chair at the kitchen table, gesturing for Sasuke to do the same. His paper for economics could wait. "So, how well do you know this person?"
Sasuke looked taken aback but answered, "Very well."
So that ruled out practically every girl Sasuke went to school with. There were very few people he knew well. "And do they know you like them?"
"No, I never told them," Sasuke muttered, tugging at some locks of his dark hair. "I – they're quite oblivious. They don't know I like them like that."
Oblivious, huh.
Itachi was starting to get an inkling as to who this mysterious person was. "Well, telling them would be a good start. A bit cliché, but why don't you take them to the movies?"
"We – they've watched all the movies that are out right now," Sasuke replied, scratching his cheek.
Itachi raised an eyebrow, folding his hands together on the table. "So, movies are out of the question then. What about taking them to their favourite restaurant? Or give them their favourite candy?"
Now Sasuke started to fidget slightly and he glanced away. "I … can't. They … They won't think it's a date then."
"Because you often eat together?" Itachi inquired knowingly.
Sasuke pursed his lips together and nodded silently.
"Why don't you tell me a bit more about this person you're interested in? It might be easier to come up with ideas then," the older man suggested, resting his chin on his fist.
Silence reigned in Itachi's apartment for a while, the ticking of the clock sounding rather loud, before Sasuke took a deep breath and began, "They're loud. Like really loud and they talk a lot. And I mean a lot; sometimes I can't get them to shut up. They do a lot of stupid things and can be a real idiot sometimes, but," his voice softened a bit, "they have a good heart. They don't care that I'm quiet and they don't try to change me to fit their image. They're always there for me. We argue a lot but at the end of the day I know they won't drop me. They … They accept me like I am."
A self-depreciating chuckle left his younger brother as his eyes fell on the table. "They're my complete opposite. They're outgoing, make people smile. Know how to have fun. They're like …" Sasuke looked lost as he searched for the right word to describe the person he liked. He eventually settled on, "The sun. They're like the sun."
And if Itachi still was uncertain about whom Sasuke was talking about, that particular remark cleared up every doubt. There was only one person who fit that description and honestly, Itachi wasn't surprised that his brother had ended up fallen for that particular person. He had seen this coming years ago.
"They sound like a great person," Itachi said casually, breaking the silence.
Sasuke smiled faintly. "They are."
"So all that's left to do is tell Naruto-kun that you like him," Itachi continued lightly.
"I suppose s- wait, what? I – I don't know what you're talking about!" Sasuke blurted out, panic flashing up in his eyes. His pale skin paled even further until he was as white as a ghost. The chair screeched when he shoved it back roughly. "It- it's not what you think. I'm not - "
"Otouto, it's okay," Itachi said sharply. His tone made Sasuke freeze up and the younger man stared at him wide-eyed, sinking back down into the chair. "It's okay to like Naruto-kun. You like who you like, it's as simple as that. I don't care either way, remember that. You're still my little brother. Who you like won't change that."
"But father might not - "
"If father does give you grieve for it, you can always stay here."
Sasuke bowed his head and his body trembled lightly. "Thanks, nii-san," he murmured and something looking suspiciously a lot like a tear rolled over his cheek.
"Foolish otouto," Itachi muttered affectionately and leant forwards to poke Sasuke's forehead.
"Hey!" Sasuke protested, reeling back to rub at the spot, but his eyes were filled with relief.
"Mind," Itachi continued with a smirk, "that won't exempt you from the teasing I will make you endure when you finally get the balls to ask Naruto-kun out. I also didn't know you could get this poetic when you like somebody. Describing him as the sun in your life – I've never known you could be this cheesy, otouto."
"Itachi!"
One week later, his phone buzzed with an incoming text.
'He said yes! We're going out this Saturday!'
'Of course he said yes. You've both been head over heels for each other for ages. You were just too stupid to realise it sooner.'
'Shut up, nobody asked your opinion!'
A chuckle escaped Itachi and he returned back to his reading for his statistics class. He would have to deliver his two papers early in the morning, so he would need to leave earlier than usual. At least it would guarantee him a good seat in the aula for his class of economics.
A while later he received another text: 'Thank you, nii-san'.
It didn't say for what Sasuke was grateful, but Itachi had no problems filling in the blanks. It was a thank you for accepting him like he was, for not rejecting him, for not pushing him away. A thank you for helping him even if the younger man would never admit it aloud.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. "Anytime, otouto, anytime."
