Let's do 'Things' together, Itachi ;D

[shunshin_no_shishi]

As promised, Shisui shows up at Itachi's doorstep, a big bottle of champagne in hand (don't ask why, he just figured it was okay to celebrate their reunion~). He rings the doorbell and waits patiently for someone ... anyone... to come open it for him.

"Oi, Itachiiiii ! If I stand in the rain long enough I'm sure to lose your number again. My phone isn't water proof!"

Quit yelling, I'm coming.

[Wrenches the door open, shooting Shisui a glare. His gaze flicks to the bottle, then back up to Shisui-nii's face.

Eugh. He feels vaguely sick.]

Well, come on. [Jerks his head over his shoulder and slumps into the kitchen, rummaging around for a mug.] Want tea? I'm sure Nii-san will be downstairs in a minute.

[hydrophobicity.livejournal.com]

[ Shisui meets Sasuke's glare with a grin, and hides the bottle as soon as Sasuke sends him that look~ Of course Sasuke isn't getting any of that. It would wreck his system given his medication~ Of course, this is not the only reason he wouldn't share ]

[ Follows him in, closing the door behind him. ] Sure. [ Takes a sea at the kitchen table, champagne bottle set carefully in the middle of the table as well. ]

...Depends. If he's painting his nails again, then it'll take a good twenty minutes >.>

[imwithdobe.livejournal.com]

Don't give me that, I stopped drinking when I started meds. I'm not stupid. [He plods over to the sink, mugs in hand, and fills them with water, then sticks them in the microwave.] I'm going over to Naruto's as soon as he gets downstairs. Give you two some--[It pains him to say this, and he tries to keep his mind free from disturbing mental imagery--] privacy.

[hydrophobicity.livejournal.com]

Never said you were. [ Stupid, that is ]

[ He finds himself rolling his eyes at the way Sasuke forces out that word... ] Righttt... I was hoping to go over some of your medical records and talk things over with him, not... [ clears throat ] Yeah >.>

So, Naruto? Who's that?

[imwithdobe.livejournal.com]

Sure. [And once you've had a couple drinks, you'll just happen to fall onto the nearest flat surface and Sasuke would really rather not be witness to that, thank you very much.]

My boyfriend. [The microwave beeps and he takes the mugs out, putting one in front of Shisui and holding onto the other.]

[hydrophobicity.livejournal.com]

...... Come again?

[ Shisui's face is just... Well, it's not an expression seen often~ He takes the mug held out to him. ]

[imwithdobe.livejournal.com]

Naruto. He's my boyfriend.

[Stares. If you're going to be a goddamn hypocrite about this, Sasuke has no problem throwing his tea in your face. 8|]

[hydrophobicity.livejournal.com]

[ Have a smirk. Look who's being the hypocrite now D< ] So what was that crap about being asexual then?

[ Sips his tea, and immediately reaches out for the sugar. ] Since when?

[imwithdobe.livejournal.com]

I said boyfriend, not fuckbuddy. I'm homoromantic.

[He'll drink his tea plain, thankyouverymuch. Shisui's such a child sometimes.] Since a few days ago.

[hydrophobicity.livejournal.com]

... Ah. [ He's sitting there with this look of utter dejection now because he took that as an insult of sorts. ] So, it's a platonic relationship then? [ Adds four teaspoons of sugar in his tea |: ]

[imwithdobe.livejournal.com]

No, it's romantic. It's just not sexual. [Horndog. 8|]

[hydrophobicity.livejournal.com]

Romantic could still include sexual elements, you know. It is just a relative term, and adjective for a relationship that's special. [ Oi. Whoever said there weren't strong feelings involved between him and Itachi |8 ]

[ ...Adds a final teaspoon of sugar o.O ]

[imwithdobe.livejournal.com]

Romance and sexuality are two separate concepts. They can coexist, but it's not necessary. [He takes another sip of his unsweetened tea, frowning around the rim of the mug.] Should I be worried for my brother's virtue?

[hydrophobicity.livejournal.com]

[ He puts his mug down on the table, still gripping it with both hands. He isn't looking at Sasuke when he finally speaks. ] ...What do you mean?

[brbpokingsasuke.livejournal.com]

Sasuke here thinks I'm a slut. And frankly, it's none of his goddamned business whether I am or not.

_{[ Itachi has finally trounced downstairs, the quick-dry on his freshly-painted fingers and toes having hardened the black enamel to a slick finish. He pulls out a chair next to Shisui after planting a lingering kiss on his lips and plunks down next to him. ]}

...So. What else have you two been speaking about?

[hydrophobicity.livejournal.com]

And why would he think that, Itachi? [ Here, have a grin~ ]

[ Hm. Shisui notes the nail polish, and is about to say something when Itachi kisses him, right in front of Sasuke. Sorry Sasuke... :( ]

About Sasuke's boyfriend~ :D

[brbpokingsasuke.livejournal.com]

Obviously because he is going so far as to talk about my virtue. _{[ Itachi pries Shisui's fingers from his teacup so he can hold his hand and lace their fingers together. ]}

...Boyfriend. And here I thought you weren't gay, Sasuke. _{[ amused look ]}

[hydrophobicity.livejournal.com]

He is not homosexual, but homoromantic. It's... I'm still trying to come to terms with that definition~

[ Squeezes his hand in his own ]

...But he makes better tea than you do |:

[brbpokingsasuke.livejournal.com]

Hmph. When will you learn to stop drinking it without so much sugar? You will become a diabetic before age thirty and all because you can't stomach tea unless it has half a pound of sweetener in it. _{[ frown ]}

[hydrophobicity.livejournal.com]

[ laughs ] Oh come on 'Tachi, what's a spoonful of sugar in a bitter world such as ours~? Perhaps I should have all the sweet things I can before I get the condition ^w^ [ He already takes in so much sugar as it is, he is bound to be diabetic today or tomorrow |8 ]

[ Puts his half-drunk tea mug down. ] So? Show me around the new place~ [ And show him all the vidja games you guys have \o/ ]

[brbpokingsasuke.livejournal.com]

Come along then, dear. _{[ Gets up from the table and yanks Shisui along with him, but not before stopping short in front of Sasuke. ]}

....You'll be wanting to go over to your little boy toy Naruto's house quite soon. _{[ grabs the bottle of booze and goes upstairs with Shisui ]}

[hydrophobicity.livejournal.com]

[ IS YANKED AWAYYYY ]

[ He gives Sasuke an apologetic look before being dragged off upstairs by Itachi... ]

[ To Itachi, on the way to his room ] Go easy on Sasuke, Itachi...

SORRY, I was away for the weekend ;_;

[imwithdobe.livejournal.com]

[He's sort of been standing there, trying not to be sick as he watches his brother do awkward things with Shisui--but he regains his mental capacities in time to holler a few comebacks over his shoulder as he grabs his bag and heads for the front door.]

I don't think you're a slut, I just don't want him using you for sex--and Naruto is not my fucking boytoy.

[Slam. And off he goes.]

'sokay <33 And uhh, that comment got under Shisui's skin a little rofl

[hydrophobicity.livejournal.com]

[ Shisui is not one to anger easily, but the insinuation is a little too much to bear. Using Itachi for sex?! Where did the little twerp get that idea from? And immediately, Shisui starts feeling bad for all of them, almost beginning to feel some kind of responsibility towards the way Sasuke was thinking, this unnatural aversion to sex. Then again, his psychologist training kicks back into him and he has to shake off the thought because really, what you thought was your problem, so in essence, Sasuke did this to himself~ Sort of. Well, it was a little too hard for him to explain to himself just yet. ]

[ He glances at Itachi, eyes once again asking for forgiveness. ] I'll be right back.

[ Saying which, he hops onto the railing and slides down the stairs, almost falling off as he reaches the landing, skidding to a halt at the front door. He wrenches the door open and runs out, catching up to Sasuke, and then running some more so he overtakes him and is now standing right in front of his little cousin. ]

[ His shirt is halfway out already, and only slightly panting, he points his index finger right at Sasuke's forehead, still a little angry, about to poke him before his hand changes direction and he is now resting it on his cousin's shoulder. ]

You think --[ pantpant ]-- I may be using your brother --[ and one more ]-- for sex?! [ Here he pulls his hand away ]

You think, after eight years, that is the only value I place on your brother? [ Have an incredulous laugh, Sasuke ]

You come back, after eight years with Naruto, and you tell me if you still feel the same way about Itachi and I. Oh, and try living away from him with that creep of an Uncle Madara for four years, having your calls and emails intercepted, purposely cut away from the people you care about… [ Yes, so he finally lets Sasuke know his actual whereabouts in still very vague terms. He didn’t want to bring up that creep, but it had to happen, eventually. ] …Having to spend every waking moment and every dream worrying, wishing he was there with you, hoping for a phone call, waiting… waiting. [ He can’t help clenching his fist here, still angry at the four years he had to endure without these two, four years of forced separation, thanks to Madara. ]

I don’t need his body, his very presence, to know how I feel towards him. I don’t need sex. A memory is all it takes.

You come back after you’ve been through all that and tell me if you still think I was using your brother.

[ Stepping aside and walking away now, Shisui mumbles: ] Have fun at Naruto’s.
