Naruto ended up giving into Sasuke's request and after school, Sasuke's older brother, Itachi, picked them up from school. 
                          
"Who's this?" the older raven asked motioning towards Naruto who had gotten in the back seat, setting his school bag beside him.
                          
"That's Naruto," Sasuke answered as he closed the door to the passenger seat.
                          
"It's not everyday that Sasuke has someone over. I'm Sasuke's older brother Itachi, it's nice to meet you," Itachi introduced.
                          
Naruto smiled, lit's nice to meet you too, Itachi." The blonde felt oddly special to be one of the few to have been over to Sasuke's house.
                          
The ride was relatively short, Itachi asked a couple of questions but most of them went unanswered because they were about his home and school life, which Itachi picked up immediately. Itachi was a detective after all, he didn't know what kind of detective he would be if he didn't notice his behavior.
                          
"We're here," Itachi announced. Naruto glanced out the window before getting out of the car, slinging his bag over his shoulder before following the two Uchiha's into the house.
                          
"We're home!" Itachi called as they stepped into the house, "Sasuke also brought a friend!" he added.
                          
"Oh my!" a female voice came from the kitchen as she came from around the corner. Her pale skin, raven hair and onyx eyes matching that of the two brothers. Now Naruto knew where they got their looks from. "Sasuke, introduce me," she smiled happily.
                          
Sasuke sighed, "mother, this is Naruto," he introduced. "Naruto, this is my mother, Mikoto."
                          
Naruto smiled, forced, and held out his hand, "it's nice to meet you, Mrs Uchiha," he replied politely, his fathers lessons definitely made him show more respect for those older than him, mainly out of fear.
                          
Mikoto grinned, "no need to be so uptight," she replied and shook his hand, "just call me Mikoto or mom," she giggled and smiled.
                          
No matter how much he would love to call her mom, considering how nice she was, he felt that it wouldn't be respectful, once again out of fear. Apparently, Sasuke seemed to notice this.
                          
"You don't have to be afraid you know, we won't hurt you," Sasuke offered coolly with his usual impassive expression. Naruto looked over at him, startled at how he knew how he was feeling but before he could ask Sasuke continued, "I could see it in your face, in your eyes," he explained. Mikoto and Itachi stared at Sasuke, before Itachi suddenly smirked.
                          
"You can call me either Itachi or big brother," Itachi offered, smiling slightly at the blonde.
                          
Naruto would've cried then and there but he held back, he just felt so loved in this moment, "how about Mama Uchiha?" he suggested.
                          
Mikoto smiled cheekily, "perfect," she replied.
                          
Naruto's gaze turned to Itachi but he remained silent in thought before speaking, "and for you, either Itachi or big brother?" he suggested.
                          
Itachi smiled a bit and nodded, "sounds good to me."
                          
Sasuke stood silently for a moment before interrupting, "well let's go get you cleaned up," he sighed, looking towards Naruto who only gave him a look of confusion as Sasuke kicked his shoes off, "your wounds," he reminded. Naruto made a silent Oh before taking his shoes off and following after Sasuke towards what he assumed to be the bathroom.
                          
"Wounds?" Mikoto followed after them, "from what?" she asked curiously.
                          
The two boys shared looks before they replied in unison, "school," it's not like they were lying, they just weren't telling the whole truth.
