A/N: I know this chapter is INCREDIBLY late, and i am very very sorry, but i've had loads of shit going on and it's been hard to keep up with anything, let alone this. Also, this chapter is very short compared to the last one, but i wrote half of this chapter a while ago, so i re-wrote the whole thing finished where it was appropriate and i am starting fresh with the next chapter. And by this i mean i can carry on the story in my current frame of mind, not how i was before. if that makes sense. Anyway, enjoy this, if you can, and i will get chapter six up as soon as i can. :)

WARNiNGS: YAOI; meaning boyxboy, LEMONS, UCHIHACEST; yes yes, brotherly love. Oh be quiet, you love it :p

DiSCLAiMER: If I owned Naurto, I would not be writing this fanfiction.

Hope In Devotion

"Itachi, hurry up and finish your sandwich! I wanna go now!"

Sasuke was bouncing very uncharacteristically and enthusiastically beside the table. Itachi on the other hand was still eating his lunch, and looked as though he was in no hurry to finish. He placed the half eaten sandwich on the plate in front of him and placed his fingertips together in front of him.

"Sasuke, sit down or something, you're making me feel dizzy. There's no rush you know, we have all afternoon. The movie is not going anywhere."

Itachi watched with mild amusement as Sasuke groaned and flopped down in the chair opposite. The two locked eyes holding a stare for a little longer than necessary, before Sasuke broke into a grin. Itachi ignored the way his body tingled at the noise that came from Sasuke's now smiling mouth.

"You smiling at me like an idiot is not going to make me eat any faster, Sasuke." Itachi's serious tone and blank expression caused Sasuke's smile to visibly falter, something Itachi picked up on instantly. He felt guilt flit through his body as he mentally cursed himself for letting his feelings show.

"Hey, lighten up, I'm joking." A grin had also taken its place on his own face now as he watched Sasuke's cheek tinge pink.

"Just shut up and eat your damn sandwich." Sasuke leant forward resting his arms and head on the table causing his voice to be muffled. Itachi let out a breathy laugh and ate the rest of his sandwich in a few bites. He stood up and put his plate in the sink stretching his arms above his head exposing a slither of his pale stomach, at the exact moment Sasuke decided to look up. Itachi watched out of the corner of his eye as Sasuke's gaze rested on his exposed skin, a trace of a smile fluttering across his face, Itachi found a smile upon his own lips as he turned around abruptly.

"Come on then, let's go before you explode."

Sasuke instantly jumped up, stopping for a second as the world span, then hurried after Itachi as he grabbed his car keys off the hook and walked out the door. Itachi looked amused as Sasuke whizzed past him and stopped at the car grabbing the handle and pulling.

"Open the door then Ita-" He span round to find Itachi stood directly behind him.

"Why are you in such a hurry anyway?"

Sasuke raised his head to look into his brother's eyes. Sasuke could feel his face getting hot as the close proximity of Itachi's face to his own. He let out a slightly shaky breath but did not move backwards. His gaze flickered to Itachi's lips only to find them in a soft smile, which grew as the owner picked up on what Sasuke was looking at. Sasuke rested his eyes back on his brothers.

"Dunno, just really want to go to a movie. We haven't been in ages." he finished with a shrug. Itachi studied Sasuke's face a little while before turning on his heel to the driver's side of the car replying with a small "Hn". Sasuke slipped into the passenger side and proceeded to turn on the radio, turning the volume up high and singing along to the song that was playing. Itachi frowned and turned the button to the left, the music quietening until it was just background noise.

"Sasuke, what the hell is wrong with you today? You're acting so weird."

Itachi kept his eyes trained on the road but he could see Sasuke looking at him out of the corner of his eye. Sasuke's once grinning face now looked angry and upset.

"Sorry. I just thought it was pretty fun that we're actually spending some time out together for once. I mean, we live together, neither of us really go out anywhere, yet we never seem to actually do anything together. Sorry for wanting to spend time with you." Sasuke's sarcastic tone was getting increasingly more angry as he spoke. Itachi glanced at the smaller boy beside him and seeing the look on his face immediately apologised. The thing was, Sasuke knew exactly what he was doing. He had learnt at a young age that when he acted upset he could very easily get his own way or make people feel guilty. He guessed it was because he very rarely showed emotion so when he did show any, it was picked up on right away. He had played this card on Itachi many times, and he relished in the fact that he was probably the only person who could fool him, because every single time it worked.

"Hey, maybe we could get some icecream or something and see the movie a bit later?" Itachi kept his eyes trained on the road.

"Yeah, okay." Sasuke turned to look out of the passanger window hiding the smile creeping onto his face. Hs plan was working exactly as planned. At this rate him and Itachi would be spending a lot more time together than was originally planned.

Hope you liked. Probably not, but mehh.... chapter six will hopefully be up soon and it'll see a bit more progression with their relationship ;)
