Itachi walked into the café with a black eye and cut lip. He pulled his hoodie up hoping it would cast a shadow. The group looked up seeing him enter and Hidan was the first to notice the bruise. All he could do was glance at Kakuzu and nod his head in Itachi's direction. Kakuzu frowned and Deidara and Sasori gaped as Itachi sat down next to Hidan looking at his hands folded in his lap. No one said anything they remained quiet.
Kisame came into the café grinning at them and looking at Itachi with barely contained affection.
It was long none that Kisame was in love with Itachi., yet he always stood aside letting the Uchiha date as many guys as he pleased. Kisame sat on Itachi's other side and smiled at the Uchiha who looked up at him through his long dark bangs and blushed. Kisame watched as Itachi looked back into his lap suddenly noticing the strange way he was acting. Kisame glanced at the others who nodded at him solemnly. The shark pushed away from that table and stood up.
"Ne, Itachi could I talk to you in private for a moment?" Kisame asked standing by the raven waiting patiently. Itachi looked hesitant but he finally stood up and followed Kisame into the hallway. Kisame turned and looked down at Itachi with worry written over his face.
"Are you alright Itachi?" Kisame asked softly. Itachi gazed up at his friend and nodded solemnly.
"I'm fine Kisame." Itachi replied softly. Kisame frowned deeply and shook his head disbelievingly.
"I don't believe Itachi. There's a fucking bruise on your face. Who did it Itachi?" Kisame urged grabbing Itachi's shoulders. Itachi turned away from the shark refusing to meet the taller male's desperate stare.
"No one."
"Bullshit."
"Kisa—"
"No Itachi! It's bullshit! Who hurt you please…"Tachi you can trust me." Kisame whispered softly. Already having an idea of who had done it. Itachi stared at his feet.
"It was Shisui." Itachi finally replied ashamed. Kisame inhaled sharply and swore under his breath.
"Damn bastard, I'll kill him." Itachi kept his head down tears prickling his dark eyes. Kisame lifted Itachi's chin watching as tears dribbled down the Uchiha's pale cheeks. Kisame's face softened and he wrapped his arms around Itachi stroking his silky hair with gentle fingers.
"Don't worry Itachi, he'll never hurt you again. I promise." Itachi remained quiet eyes on his feet hands clenched into fists.
That night Itachi walked into his apartment shaking. Shisui was seated at the table watching Itachi with narrowed eyes. Itachi lowered his eyes as the taller male stood up and advanced on his uke. Itachi stepped back and Shisui grabbed the raven by his wrist.
"Where were you?" He asked in a deadly calm voice.
"I-I was-"
"SHUT UP!" Shisui snarled.
"Shi, what…"
"I KNOW YOU'RE CHEATING ON ME WITH THAT…THAT FREAK!" Shisui screamed in Itachi's face. Itachi backed away from his lover eyes wide.
"I'm not cheating on you Shisui." Shisui narrowed his eyes. He slapped his boyfriend across the face causing the younger male to fell onto the ground.
"Liar!" He snarled. Itachi attempted to crawl away from Shisui who grabbed his ankle pulling him back raining blows on Itachi's soft face. Itachi attempted to shove Shisui off but Shisui shoved him back down roughly causing the raven to cry out in pain. Suddenly the door burst open and Kisame raced in. He punched Shisui in the face. Itachi crawled away from his boyfriend and into Kisame's arms tears streaming down his cheeks. Shisui sat up and watched as Kisame carried Itachi out of the apartment without a backward glance. Shisui got to his feet and raced to the window watching Kisame emerge holding Itachi.
"ITACHI GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!" He screamed. Kisame didn't turn back and he couldn't clearly see Itachi.
"ITACHI!"
'ITACHI!"

Itachi woke up in Kisame's apartment. He weakly sat up and stared up at Kisame eho sat by his side. Kisame gently placed his lips on Itachi's cheek.
"You're safe now Itachi." He whispered. Itachi lay against the pillows.
"Thank you Kisame." He whispered. Kisame lay beside the love of his life.
"He boy you drive me crazy." Kisame said smiling gently. Itachi smiled back tiredly and reached up kissing the elder male on the lips.
"I love you." He whispered huskily. Kisame wrapped his arms around his new boyfriend and the two lay there, knowing that this was the way it was supposed to be.
Done. Short. Oh well. I hope you like it none the less XD :D
