Sasuke had to be sat down in one of the wooden chairs at the table with an ice pack over his nose. It didn't help that Naruto eventually made his presence known that he was watching the whole time. Astonishingly enough though the blonde was the one that fixed the ice pack for him and was assisting him with bitter, bitter and bitter affection.

"Tilt your head back dammit!" Naruto ordered as he entangled his fingers in the raven hair and tugged the desired direction.

The Uchiha groaned and whimpered from the unnecessary pain added but he had to accept it. This was his penalty.

"Ah, thank you." Sasuke said with an aching smile.

"You're welcome." Naruto cooed with malevolence in his voice.

Sasuke shrunk out of fear and attempted to scoot away but the blonde stopped him. He was starting to have second thoughts about enduring this so called 'assistance'.

"Um Itachi can you help me out instead?"

"Nope, I like living actually." Itachi was leaning back on the counter with a beer in his hand watching the blonde torment his brother with very harsh love.

"He keeps moving his head forward. It's not my fault he still won't listen." Naruto had a false innocence to his voice with a coy pout. He continued to toy with the messy sable locks next of him.

Sasuke sighed and waited for the next assault on his hair. Instead he was met with a nostalgia feeling at the hands playing around within them causing him to drift away for a minute.

Naruto took notice of this when the raven started to feebly moan. He blushed for a sec and pulled down hard on the Uchiha's strands again.

"Ow...." Sasuke groaned out once through a smirk.

"Maybe you shouldn't pull so hard Naruto." Itachi said in an attempt to help out his little brother.

"Oh would you like to take his place?" Naruto eyed the man with a challenging brow.

Itachi shook his head and took a swig from his beer deciding to stay out of it.

"Good." With that the blonde turned his attention back to the man in the chair.

Sasuke didn't want to be rescued anymore now. With eyes closed he was in la la land from the skilled hands in his hair bringing back memories. He winced when his hair was pulled again but a smirk remained plastered on his face.

"Okay he's sober. Take him home." Naruto gave up seeing as though the Uchiha was enjoying it more than hating it.

"No wait I'm not Sober." Sasuke jerked awake still holding the ice pack over his nose.

"He says he's not."

"Itachi only a sober person would say they're sober!"

"That's not how it works Naruto. Even drunk people can claim to be sober."

"He's right." Sasuke chimed in not wanting to leave just yet or at all.

"You shut up!" Naruto crossed his arms childishly and glared at the Uchiha still smugly smirking next to him.

"Awe come on you know you don't want me to go either."

The pregnant man's face lit up like a red light.

"Keep your damn head back!" He grabbed a fist full of the raven hair and yanked it back out of flustered rage.

"Okay maybe your right. He does sound sober." Itachi said with a chuckle.

"Thank you!"

"What? No I'm not!" Sasuke sat up again despite the growing pain in the back of his head from the abuse.

"Sure, hey go down to the basement and get the cooler for me. Your nose should be fine now." Itachi said while using his beer to gesture to the door off to the right of the fridge.

"Fine..." The younger brother got up sluggishly taking the ice pack of his nose. The bleeding had stopped but the purple-ish bruise was still there. He sat the pack down on the table before heading off down into the basement.

When some time had passed Itachi sent Naruto down there after realizing he didn't tell his little brother where the cooler was. He watched from the doorway as the blonde disappeared into the dark to inform Sasuke of its location.

"Sasuke? Sasuke where are you?" Naruto asked aloud since he couldn't see too well. Once he reached the open area the stairs led to he reached out for a light switch on the wall. The only thing he felt was the hilt of an ax he quickly retracted from. In the congested area there was only one source of light coming from a small window. He yelped at movement from his left amongst a pile of boxes.

"There's no damn cooler down here!" Sasuke came out fuming and dusting spider webs off his shoulders.

"He said it was in the back."

"I checked the back. I didn't even know he owned a cooler."

They both looked at each other in realization till the sound of a door closing made their thoughts a reality.

"Itachi!!!" Naruto screamed as he wobbled back up the stairs to the door.

"I'm doing this because I love you guys! You need to talk it out now!"

"I am pregnant! You can't lock me down here without anything to eat unless you are offering you're brother!"

Sasuke wasn't sure if he wanted to go out that way or not... He was a little upset at the circumstance they were in but he didn't mind at the same time.

"You have an hour to talk then I'll let you out."

"Itachi open this fucking door!!! I swear to god if you make me go into labor down here I will come back and haunt your ass...!!" Naruto banged on the door with all his might tiring himself out.

Sasuke arched and eyebrow at those last few words. While keeping a mental note of that he waited till the blonde calmed down. He headed up the stairs when it was safe and brought Naruto back down to rest on one of the boxes.

"You shouldn't strain so hard."

"Like you care!" the blonde started to breathe heavily while holding his stomach in dismay.

"I do." Sasuke said sympathetically and knelt down in front of his pregnant ex. He grasped hold of the blonde's hands and held them.

"Breathe slowly."

"You're an expert now?" He asked while he slowed his breathing down anyway and relaxed.

"I've seen some movies."

"Oh wow..."

"What? It's working right? Like that Arnold Schwarzenegger movie?" Sasuke smiled as they continued to hold hands.

"Did you really just compare me to that?!" The blonde let a mirth filled chuckle escape.

"Hey he was a pregnant man too right? Maybe not as beautiful and graceful as you are but still..."

Naruto's laughter died down as his face lit up again. He took his hands back and held his stomach again with his eyes casted to the right.

"I'm not graceful, and I don't want to talk to you."

"We're going to have to eventually."

"Well then wait till then."

Sasuke sighed heavily and sat down Indian style contemplating a different approach.

"Naruto what was that about coming back and haunting Itachi?" He asked when a three minutes of silence had passed.

"I was in the moment..."

"And?"

The pregnant man glanced at Sasuke once before turning his attention back to a red box he was focusing on.

"And what?"

"You're not telling me something..."

"Maybe its best that way."

The raven reached for the blondes hand just to withdrawal when he thought of a better question.

"Why'd you take out the wedding agreement?"

"I don't know? Maybe I actually have someone else in mind this time hm?" Naruto rolled his eyes and continued to look away.

"I know you don't."

"Really? How's that?"

"Because Itachi told me you two weren't together and you said tha-"

"Why do you care all of a sudden?" He turned back to Sasuke with irritation in his voice.

"I made a mistake and I'm trying to fix it."

"That's not new."

"Hear me out at least?"

Naruto rolled his eyes again and shrugged.

"I'm sorry for everything..."

"You've apologized a billion times. Why the hell would I believe you now?"

"Because you were right.... I am insecure. I've also learned I'm a control freak and a complete asshole." Sasuke spilled out as he got up off the floor.

Naruto looked up at him with an unimpressed expression.

"Glad you know that but that doesn't mean you've changed at all."

Before Sasuke could respond they both heard something hit the floor above twice with a pause in between.

~oO Itachi's POV Oo~

He sorted through the rest of the bags while the two were conversing down there. Minochi had come down to help out by mostly eating some cupcakes and doughnuts.

"Isn't that you're seventh one?" Itachi asked the little tyke that was stuffing his face.

Minochi nodded while biting off a piece of a deliciously round powdered doughnut. He then turned to grab another cupcake with red butter cream frosting. The boy had eaten 6 ½ doughnuts and 2 cupcakes in a matter of minutes. With cherry red and chalk like stains all over his little mouth he looked like a kid version of The Joker with sable hair.

"You sure Naruto said you could have all those sweets at once?"

"Mhm! I'm little so I have to eat allot!" Minochi said between mouthfuls of powdered doughnuts. He was testing to see how many he could fit in his mouth at once while giggling inside at how easy it was to manipulate Itachi unlike his father.

The navy solider had heard that little children were supposed to eat allot but something healthy had to be involved in there somewhere. He stopped midway putting up a cereal box to watch the boy douse down the entire bag of doughnuts.

"Minochi we just bough those."

"I'ne s-owrhy!" He mumbled out with a giant smile filled with doughnuts. After they went down the hatch he went to get some milk. The sugar rush he was experiencing was evident when he ran to the fridge and back.

The eldest Uchiha had to watch in shock as half a carton of milk was wiped out.

"Minochi!!"

"Huh?" With a milk mustache to add to his adorable face he looked up at Itachi with nothing but innocence.

"Slow down and stop eating so much. We'll be back at the store within 3 days if you keep this up."

Minochi frowned till a weird surge of energy coursed through his little body causing him to drop the jug on the floor.

"Minochi why'd yo-" Itachi faltered when the child jumped up out of his seat and started to run around in a circle at top speed before dropping to the floor unconscious.

"Um....Okay." The navy solider looked around to make sure that just happened. Guessing his nephew had a spaz moment he continued to put up the rest of the groceries.
