Sasuke, 20

 

Daylight slowly filters into a room where two bodies are sprawled on a king-size bed. Slowly, the smaller figure, a black-haired man, begins to wake up and, with a slight groan, opens two pupils as black as coal. The young man who possesses them stares blankly at the ceiling, then glances out of the corner of his eye at the body sleeping beside him. He tries to get out of bed without waking the other, but his effort is futile when a large hand, with terrifyingly long fingers, grabs his wrist. The raven, now completely motionless, takes a shaky breath.

“Come on now, Sasuke… It's too early to get out of bed yet, dear. ” Sasuke closes his eyes briefly, if only to escape the situation for a second, then lies back down on the bed. The other man didn't waste a second and climbed on top of the dark-haired man, his eyes roaming over every corner of the younger man's body. "Won't you greet me, pet ?"

"Good morning, Orochimaru-sama." The man hummed and leaned down toward the younger man, their lips gently touching before Orochimaru plunged his tongue into the dark-haired man's mouth. The latter kissed the older man back, less enthusiastically, but his companion didn't seem to care. Orochimaru pulled back once he ran out of air and then whispered in Sasuke's ear.

"Ride me, sweetheart."

Sasuke, 14

 

Sasuke Uchiha's life wasn't always like this. Once upon a time, he was a normal kid who went to school, had lots of friends, and the best big brother in the world. He and Itachi no longer had parents; both died in a car accident when Sasuke was 7 and Itachi was 17. The two brothers were devastated at first, but slowly and surely they managed to pick themselves up and move on. 

Sasuke was happy.

But all that was a long time ago ; everything changed the year he turned thirteen. Sasuke had just come home from school, and his brother sat him down at the living room table with a worried expression. Itachi told him he was very ill, and Sasuke cried as hard as he had when their parents died. His brother took him in his arms and whispered in his ear that everything would be okay. 

Sasuke wanted to believe him.

However, a year passed, Sasuke was 14 now, and Itachi's condition only got worse day by day. No doctor could find the cause of the eldest Uchiha's illness, and hospital bills were piling up at a dizzying speed. Itachi told him not to worry, but Sasuke knew they were in trouble ; they needed money very quickly. The younger tried applying to various businesses, but none were willing to hire a 14-year-old with no professional experience. The day Itachi collapsed in the kitchen, coughing up a huge amount of blood and having to be rushed to the hospital was the last straw for Sasuke. He had to make a decision.

That's how he ended up in one of Konoha's red-light districts, where crimes like drug dealing and prostitution were rife. The teenager stood at the entrance to a dimly lit alleyway. He was dressed in a fishnet stocking, a mini short and a crop top. Sasuke wrapped his arms around himself, his outfit doing little to ward off the night's chill. He was shivering, but the dark-haired boy preferred to think it was from the cold and not from the fear and anxiety swimming in his stomach.

Sasuke's eyes were fixed on the ground when a pair of perfectly polished leather shoes stopped in front of him. A large, closed hand appeared before his eyes and opened, holding a candy. Sasuke frowned and raised his head, facing the stranger. It was a man dressed in a suit, with very pale skin and very long hair. The man smiled at him and pushed his hand toward Sasuke, encouraging him to take the candy. Hesitantly, the dark-haired man reaches out and takes the candy.

"Good evening little one. Are you lost ?" Sasuke shifts his weight from one leg to the other, a nervous habit he's had since he was little. He takes a shaky breath, then replies : 

"No, I'm here to work." The stranger's smile widens. 

"Work ?" The teenager nods in agreement, anxiously watching the man's eyes roaming over his entire body. The older man seems to like what he sees and extends his arm to Sasuke.

"My name is Orochimaru, why don't you come home with me ?"

After that night, Sasuke never set foot in that alley again. Instead, he ended up in Orochimaru's bed once a week. The man paid Sasuke $400 a night, a considerable sum for the raven. Itachi questioned him about the source of the money, and Sasuke, so as not to worry his poor brother, lied. He told him he had finally found a job, and his brother was so happy for him that Sasuke decided the lie was worth it.

During his meetings with Orochimaru, Sasuke tried not to divulge information about his personal life, wanting to separate it from whatever he was doing with the older man. But Orochimaru was an intelligent man, and he quickly realized that Sasuke was trying to build barriers between them. So the older man adjusted his behavior, he became gentler, more patient, less harsh, and his efforts eventually paid off. Orochimaru was the only male presence in Sasuke's entourage, aside from Itachi, and in a twisted way, the man almost became a parental figure. The teenager never admitted it to Itachi, but he missed their parents terribly. And the way Orochimaru acted sometimes reminded Sasuke of his own father. The praise he received when he did something right, sexual or not, the way he ruffled his hair or and his aura that commanded respect.

All of this destroyed every wall Sasuke tried to build, and soon, Orochimaru became Sasuke’s confidant. The teenager told him everything: his brother's illness, why he needed money, and why he was in that alley that night. 

That day, they didn't have sex, and Sasuke was relieved.

Sasuke, 15

 

On Sasuke's 15th birthday, Itachi fell into a coma. Sasuke didn't know what to do, and the fear he felt for his brother's life was so strong that he couldn't sleep at night. During his weekly meeting with Orochimaru, the older one noticed something was wrong and when he asked the younger one what was going on, the teenager collapsed in his arms. He told him what had happened to Itachi, and the long-haired man hugged him. When Sasuke finally calmed down, Orochimaru told him something that gave him hope.

He knew Tsunade Senju, the best doctor in the whole country, and she owed him a favor. The older man offered Sasuke a deal: the teenager would have to work for Orochimaru until he died, and the man would arrange for Tsunade to take care of Itachi, and he would take care of all the bills. The raven didn't hesitate for a second and accepted Orochimaru's offer. At this point, he would have sold his soul to the devil to save his brother. 

Itachi was transferred to SENJU Hospital the next day.

Sasuke stopped going to school ; instead, he either found himself warming Orochimaru's bed or training. When the older man told him he would work for him, the teenager thought he was just talking about giving him his body, but he was wrong. Orochimaru was a shady man with a shady business and, therefore, with equally shady enemies. Sasuke's mission was to deal with these enemies and protect Orochimaru. 

Sasuke's training was led by two men, Kabuto and Kimimaro. Kabuto specialized in espionage and infiltration, while Kimimaro specialized in assassination, rifle shooting, and hand-to-hand combat. Both men were extremely sadistic, and whenever Sasuke made a mistake, even the most insignificant one, they punished him by injecting a liquid in his body that made him scream in pain.

Sometimes, the urge to give up was strong ; his body and mind needed to rest. Between Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Kimimaro, the dark-haired boy couldn't take it anymore. 

But each time, at the thought of his big brother, he told himself it was worth it.

Sasuke, 19

 

After two years, Tsunade Senju discovered the cause of Itachi's illness, and two more years later, the oldest Uchiha opened his eyes for the first time in four years. Sasuke was 19, but he cried like a baby.

Nine months after Itachi came out of his coma, Tsunade gave him permission to return home. Sasuke took care of his older brother and he was so happy he could have died. Itachi, for his part, felt regret and guilt. He had missed out on a good part of his beloved little brother's life, and he tried to make up for it by asking questions. 

"How were your high school years ? "

"Did you graduate ? "

"Are you still friends with Suigetsu and Juugo ? "

"Do you want to go to university ? "

"What is your job ? " 

Sasuke answered all these questions with a lie and a smile. "It was great, I loved high school ! Yes, I graduated ! Yes, I'm still friends with them ! I don't know yet, I'm still thinking about college. It's just a side job cleaning houses ! "

Of course, Itachi believed him; he had no reason to doubt the innocent little brother from his memories.

Sasuke, 20

 

Long fingertips caress his waist as he moves his hips back and forth. The insides of his thighs burned a little, but Sasuke was used to the sensation. Orochimaru was in the mood for slow sex, and Sasuke was relieved ; the older man could be so sadistic and rough sometimes. The raven was already sore from a mission he'd carried out a few days ago. His target was a policeman named Inuzuka Kiba. The young officer was sniffing where he shouldn't have, and Orochimaru had had enough.

Inuzuka was a good fighter ; he had great physical strength, greater than Sasuke's. But if the dark-haired man had learned anything during his training, it was that physical strength wasn't everything. The police officer was strong, but Sasuke was smarter, faster, better. In the end, Inuzuka's lifeless body was found the next morning by his colleagues, with no trace of Sasuke at the crime scene.

"So good to me... Such a good pet... I'm glad I found you that night ," Orochimaru whispered in his ear. " You were so, so young and so, so beautiful." 

Sasuke closed his eyes and rode the man harder, if only to silence him. The young man was grateful to Orochimaru for everything he did for him, but he never managed to appreciate the sexual side of their relationship. Sasuke never liked the idea of ​​prostituting himself, but it was the only option at the time. 

Now, it's part of his life, part of him.

Once the older man emptied himself, Sasuke lifted his hips, making Orochimaru's cock slide out and his semen leaked from his hole. The raven stood up and grabbed the silk robe Orochimaru had bought him for his 17th birthday. It was as black as the young Uchiha’s hair and so soft that if it weren't tied tightly, it would slip off Sasuke's body. From behind him, he heard Orochimaru get up from the bed and walk over to the small table where a bottle of whiskey and two glasses were placed. Sasuke sighed ; he didn't like alcohol, but he never said no to Orochimaru.

The young Uchiha walked to the gigantic window of the older’s penthouse bedroom and watched the city wake up. A few seconds later, a hand holding a glass of whiskey slipped under his eyes, and Sasuke accepted it. He looked down at the city, and the comparison between ants and people walking from this angle brought a wry smile on his face.

Suddenly, the hairs on the back of his neck bristle. Sasuke's instincts are screaming that danger is approaching, and years of experience are telling him to trust his guts. He grabs Orochimaru's arm abruptly, causing the glass the older man was holding, as well as his own, to crash on the floor. The raven tugs on the man's arm, and the two of them duck abruptly just as a sniper's bullet shatters a good portion of the window, where they stood a few seconds ago.

Hundreds of shards of glass fly everywhere around the two men, and Sasuke closes his eyes to avoid getting hit by them. Orochimaru groans at the impact of their fall, but the young Uchiha is already trying to pull him up so they can hide in the bathroom. They're both out in the open in the bedroom because of the large bay window ; the bathroom is the closest option. They need to move quickly before the sniper fires again, but Orochimaru is old and has never received any kind of training, always expecting others to do his dirty work. Today, it might be the cause of his downfall.

When the man finally manages to stand up, Sasuke stands behind him and pushes him with all his might toward the bathroom door. The younger, just as he was about to run to safety himself, is shot in the right thigh. He collapses to the floor with a gasp of pain and watches Orochimaru open the bathroom door. However, before the older can step inside, the bedroom door opens, revealing a blond man with a rifle pointed at Orochimaru.

The stranger pulls the trigger and a bullet lands between the older man's eyes. 

Orochimaru's body hit the ground with a thud, and Sasuke's eyes widened. White noise invaded his ears and his breathing, which was already shallow, became even shallower. Sasuke couldn't believe his eyes. This couldn’t be, right ? 

The man who had broken him mentally, physically, and psychologically more than once was dead. But Orochimaru was also the one who gave him hope, who was a twisted version of a father figure, and who gave Itachi a second life. Orochimaru was the villain and the hero of his life, and seeing his lifeless body on the ground made Sasuke feel sick. Orochimaru saved his brother, but in return, he couldn't protect him ?

Sasuke wanted to cry.

Orochimaru’s killer turned to Sasuke, and the black-haired man wonders if he's next on the list.

With slow, sure steps, he walks towards Sasuke. The man was a blond with blue eyes and three marks on each of his cheeks. He looked older than Sasuke, probably in his late thirties, but compared to Orochimaru, the man was well trained despite his age. While Sasuke was lithe, the other was bulky. He was sure that a single punch from this guy could be lethal. The intensity of his gaze was such that the younger wanted to escape, but he couldn't, his wound made escape useless. 

The stranger stops millimeters away from the pool of blood around the young Uchiha and examines him closely. His right thigh wound was bleeding heavily, his lower body part drenched in red. His robe, with all the sudden movements from earlier, slipped from his shoulders to his elbows, leaving his torso visible to the blond.

"Sai never missed a shot before. You're not a normal whore, are you?" It sounded like a question, but the raven had a feeling it wasn't. Orochimaru’s killer voice was hoarse and deep, and he was looking at the younger with a knowing look.

The man kneeled, put his gun away behind his back, and gently traced the contours of Sasuke’s upper body with his hands. He started at his stomach and slowly moved up his torso, then continued to his shoulders, down his back, before returning to his shoulders, continuing down his arms, and stopping at his hands. Sasuke's heart was beating fast ; even his first kill hadn't generated such a frightening reaction.

The man before him emanated danger and death.

The blond hummed softly and nodded, as if approving of what he was seeing and touching. Suddenly, he grabbed Sasuke’s legs and spread them, sliding between them with ease, then pulled the black-haired man harshly towards him. The action made Sasuke land on his back, the shards of glass poking Sasuke through his robes. The young Uchiha's thoughts raced, was the man going to rape him ? He had never had anyone but Orochimaru, and the idea of ​​another man using his body like that filled him with dread. It was already difficult enough with Orochimaru, but he's gotten used to it.

Sasuke doesn't know if he can do it again.

But the man did none of that. Instead, just as he had with Sasuke's upper body, he began tracing his lower body part. He began with his feet, gradually and sensually moving up his legs, then up his thighs, before stopping at his hips. The look Sasuke received was one of a predator : focused, intense, and wild.

"This is the first time I've seen such a well-trained whore. You're an assassin, and a good one at that." One of the blond's hands left Sasuke's hip and slid down his injured thigh. With a curious smile, the man dug his thumb into the wound, and if Sasuke were a lesser man, he would have cried out in agony. However, Sasuke is strong; Kabuto and Kimimaro have put him through worse, so the only reaction he gives the blond is a low hiss of pain. The young Uchiha knows he's in no condition to fight or flee ; the stranger would kill him long before he could do anything. The best option is to stay put and not make matters worse. Orochimaru is dead, but Itachi is still here ; he can't leave his brother alone, he needs to get out of this situation alive.

The stranger's voice pulls Sasuke out of his thoughts.

"Kiba was a good boy. He always wanted to be on the right side of justice and abandoned his clan to become a police officer." The blond's other hand, the one not buried in his thigh, takes a lock of Sasuke's hair and plays with it between his thumb and forefinger. " The Inuzukas begged me to avenge their pup, but I think I'll do something else." Orochimaru's killer smiles, then places the thumb, covered in the raven's blood, on his lips. 

"I'll keep you."

The blond man said it as if his decision was final and no one could contradict him, and it was true. Right now, Sasuke can't afford to challenge him, unless he wants to risk dying.

"I am Naruto, head of the Uzumaki-Namikaze clan. You may call me Master from now on, Sasuke."

Sasuke's heart skips a beat at the mention of his name ; the man knew who he was from the beginning. Does he know about Itachi too ? Naruto, who seems to have noticed his panic, only smiles. He places Sasuke in his arms, then stands and heads towards the bedroom's exit. 

Sasuke looks over Naruto's shoulders at the lifeless body of the man to whom he gave a good part of his life. He was free from Orochimaru, but he seems to have fallen into the arms of another man just as bad, or worse. It seems Sasuke doomed himself the day he set foot in that alley. The thing is, he would have done it again and again, if only to save his beloved brother.

Sasuke's love for Itachi will always be his weakness.

How sad and tragic, for something that was supposed to be so beautiful.
