    Summary

    “Sasuke?”

    Sasuke mumbles an affirmative that, unfortunately, he’s still awake.  “M’sorry.  Didn’t mean to wake you.”

    He expects that to be the end of it, that Naruto might shift close and slide his hands up the front of Sasuke’s shirt, nestle in behind him and they’ll sleep wound up around each other.  Or that Naruto might grunt his own version of an answer before falling asleep again, never having truly been awake.

    Instead, he can’t sense Naruto settling back into bed, but can sense he’s about to say something profoundly stupid that will upend Sasuke’s whole night.

    “Am I annoying?”

    “Yes,” Sasuke huffs over a tired laugh.  “You are literally the most annoying person I know.  Now go to sleep.”

    He rolls over, away from Naruto and shoves his face into his pillow.

    Silence envelops them.  

    A wet sniff cuts through it.

    Sasuke’s eyes fly open.  He looks over his shoulder, and Naruto has his eyes buried in his arms, clearly trying to muffle his broken sobs.

    Summary

    "But he just couldn't bring himself to kill his little brother." Obito had said to Sasuke.

    What if, when the time came, Sasuke, too, couldn’t bring himself to kill his older brother? What if he chose to save Itachi's life instead of letting him die that fateful day? How would their lives be different?

    Theirs is the story of endurance and forgiveness and unfathomable love. How would Itachi function in a world he didn't die and was forced to see the brother who loved him, despite everything. Could he ever forgive himself? Was healing possible for someone like him? Could Itachi and Sasuke move past their past and start their life anew?

    The warnings are for some of the chapters and the themes within the story, which might not be suitable for everyone.

    COMPLETE.

    Summary

    Sasuke goes on his annual vacation, wanting nothing more than to spend a week relaxing in paradise away from the doldrums of his life. Naruto isn't quite so eager for his own getaway, but is game to make the best of it and have a good time.

    Neither of them were prepared to have their lives turned upside down. They may have bitten off more than they can chew on this one.

    What happens in paradise, stays in paradise, right?

    Sasuke cannot remember a time where he didn't love you. Everyone always thought it was just a little crush that he would eventually get over, but he never managed to shake the hold you had on him.
