Itachi and Sasuke sat at the dinner table with Monroe and his wife. She talked of her son and how he was a lot like Gregory. Itachi was fascinated by the way they talked about their son. It wasn’t so fascinating how he had died though. He had been caught up in the wrong crowd and a deal had gone wrong which led to a mistaken identity on the killer’s part and Gregory Monroe’s son had paid for that mistake with his life. Monroe said he had spent four years in the bottle trying to somehow justify his loss.
It had only become worse almost costing him his wife and daughter. He had only found freedom in prayer and had regained his faith at some point. Now he went to church every Sunday hoping to repent for his not being there to stop his son from making the wrong friends. Monroe’s wife Tabitha had assured him many times over that he could not have helped. Their son had been stubborn like his father and it would have only ended in bitter hate.
Monroe smiled as his wife told stories of the boy’s childhood. Itachi could see how it strained Monroe to do so. The subject got changed to Sasuke and Itachi’s relationship and Monroe sighed in relief.
“Well, we grew up in the suburbs. Our mother and father were successful in business. We went to a good school and we helped our parents out on the weekends. We were typical brothers. We fought over toys as kids and entering each others rooms without knocking in our preteens. We competed for our father’s attention and we did our homework and got good grades. I was barely seventeen when our parents were killed.
Sasuke was fifteen at the time. Our parents left us a substantial amount of money plus their business and the house which we sold. The money from the business and the house we put into savings accounts and I rented an apartment for the two of us. Later when Sasuke graduated he moved out and got his own place. We both went to college and have been doing well in our fields of work.” Itachi said.
Monroe and his wife were impressed by their maturity. Itachi didn’t mention the fights that nearly destroyed his and Sasuke’s relationship back then. They were both angry at their parents and the situation and each other. Itachi still didn’t know how they had managed to survive that time. He was grateful for the growing they had done and he was proud of both of them and their success. Although they never had a hard time living they had a catastrophic time living together.
Sasuke had hated and resented everything about Itachi. Itachi hated having to be in charge. It had put a wedge in the brothers’ relationship and caused bitterness to brew. Itachi had wanted to give up several times. He had wanted to throw in the towel and justify that he was too young for this and it wasn’t fair. He only had to think of his mother and know he couldn’t do that. She would have been disappointed and no matter how much Itachi hated to admit it, he lived for his mother’s approval almost more than his father’s.
Sasuke sat back and took a sip of the wine in front of him. He would never be able to say it out loud but he adored and admired his older brother. Itachi had been a rock after their parents’ death. Sasuke hadn’t made it easy for Itachi and he knew that. He also knew there was no way he could ever make up for it. He had gone to college and he had been successful in his job but he still felt he owed his brother something. When he had found Itachi in his bathroom after the attack he had felt nothing but pure rage for the man who did it.
Sasuke still admired Itachi even more still. To be able to pick yourself up and move on after such an awful experience one would have to be made of the strongest stuff and he believed that Itachi was. Sasuke sneered at the thought that the man who attacked Itachi probably thought he had destroyed him completely. If only the guy had known who Itachi was then he would know that Itachi was going to be fine now. Tabitha Monroe cleared the table of the dinner dishes and brought in a Caramel drizzle cake she had made. Both Uchiha’s mouths watered at the sight. Monroe smiled.
“Yes this is the best part of dinner. When she brings in the desert she so masterfully makes. Every night it is something different too.” Monroe said. Tabitha blushed at her husbands bragging of her baking skills.
“We are moving in here with you.” Sasuke said. Tabitha laughed in delight and Monroe chuckled. Itachi smiled. He was having such a good time and right now his case and the new note were far away from his mind.
After eating two giant pieces of the delicious cake they all entered the living room to relax and let dinner settle. Tabitha brought out coffee for Gregory and Sasuke and Tea for Itachi. Itachi was surprised to see it was tea and not coffee. Gregory smiled.
“I listen to everything anyone says. I remember offering you coffee and you saying you preferred tea. Tabitha is a tea drinker too.” Gregory said fondly.
Tabitha held up her cup to Itachi in a cheers fashion. He returned the gesture and sipped his tea. It was wonderful. It was a mixture of hazelnut and butter rum. Itachi had so often tried the different flavors but he was sure he hadn’t tried this one. He knew now he would have to buy some. They talked of politics and life and just about every possible sport they could think of. Sasuke out skirted the relationship question beautifully without admitting anything.
Sasuke had known he was bi from the time he was ten. Itachi had been asking the same questions since he was twelve. He still had no idea if he was straight, bi or gay. He wasn’t sure he wanted to know. No girl had turned his head and come to think of it neither had a boy. So he was left with the question unanswered. Maybe he would someday know or maybe he could live in ignorant bliss forever. Right now he didn’t have it in him to even try to answer it.
It was almost nine o’clock when the brother’s rose to leave. They thanked Tabitha Monroe over and over again. She smiled and disappeared to the kitchen. She returned with fresh baked cookies and some of the leftovers from dinner that night. They thanked her again and placed kisses on her cheek. They could never get enough thank yous’ out to the woman. She was truly a wonderful person. They walked to the car content. Itachi slid into the driver’s seat and started the car. Sasuke leaned against the seat and let the good feelings envelope him.
“So anything new going on lately?” Sasuke asked. Itachi turned his head. “Okay, what is it?” Sasuke asked. He reached over and turned the radio off so he could hear.
“My attacker is back. He left a note on my windshield at work.” Itachi said quietly.
“Damn!" Sasuke cursed. He could feel the rage building in his gut. He reached out and took Itachi’s hand in his. Itachi took his brother’s hand as well and squeezed his fingers.
“Okay, lets stay at my place tonight.” Sasuke said. Itachi shook his head. Sasuke leaned over and looked at Itachi. “I will not take no for an answer. Besides I have two new movies in need of watching and these cookies aren’t going to eat themselves.” Sasuke said seriously. Itachi tried to stay firm and not grin. He lost. He laughed outright.
“Alright. I will have to borrow your clothes again and you better have milk.” Itachi said with a serious expression. Sasuke laughed.
“Yeah I have milk. I may have some pretty silky pajamas for you to wear too.” He said teasingly. Itachi looked horrified.
“I will sleep in my clothes first.” He said with a laugh. Sasuke laughed too. They drove the rest of the way to Sasuke’s making jokes about each other. They spent the night watching the movies and eating the cookies, dunking them in milk like they did as children. Nothing could ruin Itachi’s night now. He was having way too much fun.
