The temperature was 15 below, and dropping. Two akatsuki members were shivering in a room. They were waiting for a certain blonde jinchuuriki to catch. It had been three years since they first tried.

Anyways, the room they were in was freezing, but it didn't affect Itachi at all. He stared out the window, watching the silver-white moon hang in the night sky.

"Come 'ere, babe," said Kisame, the shark-fish like member.

Itachi froze, his eyes sliding to the left, observing his partner, who was now pulling Itachi towards him. "Let. Me. Go," came three harsh words off of Itachi's lips.

Kisame just held him close. Itachi tried to pry off the cold, blue fingers with his own.

Kisame's lips brushed the back of Itachi's neck when he pulled away.

Itachi shivered. He stared up at the ceiling, unmoving.

Two minutes later, Kisame was scooting closer to Itachi. Itachi tried to scoot away, but he almost fell off the bed.

But that didn't matter, since somehow he managed to still fall. Kisame landed on top of him.

Kisame didn't squirm; he just seemed to fall right on top of his partner. He didn't move; he didn't get up; he didn't say or do anything.

Itachi didn't move either. He stared up at his partner with his normal onyx eyes.

Kisame started to kiss his partner. He seemed to LIKE the position they were in.

Itachi flipped them over so he was on top. "I'm not going to be the uke if you want to do this." He paused and just stood up. "But why would we?" He smirked. He lay back down on the bed.

Kisame stood back up too. He got back on the bed and latched his arms around Itachi again.

Itachi didn't fight back this time. He stared out the window again. The stars seemed to be dancing, the moon being in the middle of the dancing. His eyes began to droop.

Kisame put his hands inside Itachi's cloak. He felt around. He put his hands on his partner's chest. The on his stomach. He put his hands on Itachi's thighs.

Itachi's eyes popped right open. He shoved Kisame away. "Stop it. Do that once more and you'll be dead by morning," He threatened. He saw in Kisame's eyes that he had hurt him. He hadn't really meant it. He just wanted some sleep for once.

He closed his cloak. His eyes got droopy again. Kisame put his arms around his partner once more.

Itachi didn't struggle to get free again. His eyes were closed. After a few minutes, his breathing slowed down and leveled out.

Kisame kept his arms around his sleeping partner. He brushed his lips against the back of his parent's neck once more.

Kisame stayed up a little longer. He held his partner close. When Kisame's eyes started to droop, he closed his eyes.

Right before he drifted off to sleep, he whispered something special in Itachi's ear, something he'd always wanted to say, but finally had the chance to.

"Sweet dreams, babe. I know why you aren't cold. It's because you're with me… And you're in my arms tonight."

Itachi seemed to have heard and understood Kisame's words, because he settled down a little and snuggled against Kisame in his sleep. He slept…..With a smile on his face.
