Chapter 19: Cry For Me

"Aniki..." Blurry eyes slowly slid open, and Sasuke tried to reach out to find his Nii-san. His sudden movements caused him to flinch terribly and cry out.

The sudden shifting behind Sasuke alerted the young Uchiha, and he tried to call for his Nii-san once again.

"A-Aniki?"

The boy squeaked when he was gently rolled around, his clothed form colliding against Itachi's. His Nii-san must have dressed him again.

"Shh..." A warm palm slid up and down his back. Again. And again.

Sasuke exhaled, peering up to meet the gaze of his beloved Aniki, who was staring lovingly at him. He reached an arm out to grip weakly at Itachi's bicep.

"Do you hurt, Aniki?" he stringed together in a gentle whisper. Sasuke seemed to not know what else to say. He didn't want his Nii-san to hurt himself anymore; when his Aniki cried, it hurt Sasuke too.

When Itachi didn't answer straight away, Sasuke whimpered and stuck closely to his Aniki's body, as if reassuring himself that Itachi's warmth could bathe away his worries. The hand on his back never ceased its soothing.

"Otouto..." When Itachi finally spoke, Sasuke was astonished that his Aniki's voice sounded so helpless and hoarse. Itachi's next set of words literally told Sasuke why. "Do you really love me, Otouto? ... Because I love you... I will always love you, Otouto... Forever and ever ... W-will you... Will you love me forever and ever too?"

His Aniki's voice sounded so hesitant and it made Sasuke worry. His Aniki was always so carefree around him- loving him and taking care of his well-being, but as of now, he seemed panicked and burdened.

"I will always love you, Aniki." Even as Sasuke said this, he bit his lip harshly to contain a sob. There was only so much he could sincerely do to keep his Aniki the way he always was. Recently. his beloved Nii-san acted so much more differently towards him that Sasuke felt responsible for how much he had troubled Itachi.

Itachi suddenly chuckled, bringing Sasuke out of his trance. It didn't sound like a hearty laugh to the younger Uchiha; it was mournful and dull. "They really are going to take me away, huh?"

Sasuke understood what his Nii-san was speaking of when the banging on the door began, accompanied by the shouts of Shikamaru. He clung onto his brother, because somewhere deep down he knew that he wouldn't see his Aniki anymore when he wakes up or goes to bed.

"Aniki, Aniki, I love you. I love you very much."

Itachi patted his head, bidding the boy to cease his tears. "And I love you too, Sasuke..." Itachi said. "Keep your promise to me, my little Otouto," he whispered. Itachi leaned down to peck his Otouto's lips briefly, and when he drew away, the door was tackled down.

"Restrain him, now!!" Shikamaru shouted, voice a few octaves higher than usual. Neji and Sasori watched worriedly from behind.

Three men, wearing black suits, rushed towards Itachi's and pulled stealthily him away from his Otouto. The straightjacket was strapped onto Itachi and before Sasuke could even argue Shikamaru already set orders to haul his Aniki out of the room.

"Aniki..." he whimpered, reaching an arm out as if savoring his Aniki's presence a little longer. "I love you, Itachi."

Itachi's eyes widened at hearing his own name depart from his Otouto's lovely mouth. He regained from shock and smiled reassuringly at Sasuke. "I love you too, Sasuke."

Bamn.

The wooden door was shut, leaving Sasuke alone with Neji and Sasori.

The young Uchiha stared at his hands in his lap from his painless sitting position. He was both aware of his friends' stares and the blood and semen left on the sheets.

"Sasuke," Sasori softly murmured, "What did your Nii-san do to you?"

"Nothing."

-

A door opened; two figures entered the room of a drugged Uchiha.

"So this is the patient you've been speaking of, Shikamaru?"

Shikamaru nodded. "This is Uchiha Itachi; age-18. And, as I've said before, I believe he has an aggressiveness in behavior triggered through stress, anxiety, a streak of violent and abnormal jealousy, and insecurity."

The psychiatrist nodded. "Does he happen to have any relatives? Close family members?"

The other sighed. "He has a younger brother, though that person seems to trigger these reactions that he performs. Would it be best to restrict him from visiting?"

"No... I would believe that, since this person is dear to him, he wouldn't risk hurting him, especially when he knows that we'll be watching over him during his stay and the visits he receives. He's a smart man. What did you say his IQ is again?"

"218."

"Ah... yes. Therefore, he should be aware that we can take those privileges away from him anytime. He would behave and there shall not be an issue, unless he begins to cause problems, but I would not think so far as of now. He seems like a child of honor."

"So troublesome."

-

"Hungry, are you, Otouto?" Unlike other hungry babies, Sasuke never cried when his little tummy growled. That is, if he were in Itachi's arms. Instead, he would just stare wide-eyed up at Itachi and suck on his Aniki's finger as if it were a baby bottle.

Itachi placed him on the sofa so his palms would be able to complete the job. "Sit there, Otouto. No climbing over the arm rest, okay."

Little Sasuke's only answer came out in strings of gibberish, yet Itachi knew he didn't want him to leave him where he was.

"Just give me a minute, Otouto, alright?" Itachi turned, only taking a step towards the kitchen when a clingy tug attached itself to his leg. Looking down at his little Sasuke, Itachi felt heart-broken at his miserable stare.

"'niki!" he wailed, and Itachi's arms froze halfway in reaching him. Eyes widened in astonishment and euphoria as his Otouto's first word spout out of his mouth; Itachi couldn't help the insanely happy grim that spread across his face.

"... Otouto..." the tears welled in Sasuke's eyes ceased and he peered up at his Aniki through his small black bangs, giving his Aniki his full attention. Itachi embraced him then, pecking his rosy-colored cheeks over and over again.

"I love you, my little angel," Itachi whispered to him.

Itachi, in his room at the institution, smiled gently in his sleep. Sasuke, in his new room at Sasori's house, cried in his sleep.
