Chap. 2

Hey everyone, welcome to chapter 2 please read and review! And as I said before I don't own any Naruto characters.

Itachi's POV

I was eating breakfast when I heard a knock on the door. I got up and went to open it. I pretty much had an idea who it was. I opened the door to find Naruto looking down on the ground, trying to hide the sadness in his eyes, but it wasn't doing much good.

"He left didn't he . . . " He said it in a whisper, I gave a small sigh. I could tell by the way he was shaking that he was trying hard not to cry.

"Come in, I made some breakfast, it'll do you some good." Naruto silently followed me to the dining room and didn't say much as he ate. The truth was, I was one of the people who loved Naruto. I loved him the same way he loved my brother, even more. But it was useless, he had chosen my brother. Even though I swore to tell him how I felt when I came back from my last mission, my brother had beaten me. When I came back, they had already started going out. I had been heart broken but it didn't stop me from loving Naruto.

I was always there for him when Sasuke wasn't. My brother had noticed this and was really overprotective of him, but now. It wasn't as if he didn't care. "I'm sorry to barge into you like this."

"It's ok. I don't have much to do. I'm on vacation right now. What better way to spend it then to helping a friend in need."

Naruto smiled weakly and hugged me. I gently held him in my arms. I couldn't help but breath in his scent. I wanted him to be mine. Sasuke didn't deserve him. Naruto didn't deserve this. He needed more.

"Naruto . . ."

"Yes . . . "

"We could go on a vacation you know. It might take your mind off of things. I'll take you to the hot springs. I could get us some reservations easily." Naruto closed his eyes and rested for a bit. It might do me some good . . .

"Ok . . . "

Naruto's POV

"Wow. This is so cool. I never went to a hot spring a fancy as this one. The bedrooms are so big and we have maids. This is so cool." I smiled happily putting my things away. We were going to stay here for a whole week and I couldn't wait to take a nice hot bath. Lately I've had an unsettling stomach. I don't know why, but I do.

I've been more careful of what I eat but it can't be helped. For some reason though, my stomach had been ok since I came here with Itachi. He was so nice. He was different from Sasuke. He showed his emotions a little bit more and he never turned me away. I did feel a little guilty though. I knew that Sasuke didn't like me hanging out with Itachi that much but . . . Itachi was so nice. I hadn't been able to refuse.

Itachi sat on my futon. He had already finished packing. "I knew this trip would do you some good. It usually brings one's spirit up. You want to take a bath later. Not much people here around this time of season so it'll be pretty private."

"Ok, let me get things ready!"

Itachi's POV

I was already taking a bath when Naruto came, with only a bath towel around his hips, covering him all the way to his knees. I had to fight the urge to hug him. Even though he was only 16, you could see his muscles gently formed and some battle scars as well. I ping of jealousy rose when I saw a small bite marks on his collar bone. My brother's work no doubt.

"This is so great. Thanks for inviting me."

"No problem, you needed to get out more."

Naruto eyes saddened, and I saw his eyes fill with tears again. "Naruto . . . " I took him in my arms once more. I caressed his back as I gently tried to calm him down.

"Thank you Itachi sob you always seem to know how to make me feel better."

"Naruto I . . ." I couldn't finish. I felt his soft lips touch mine. I could taste his tears as our kiss deepened. I held him closer making sure not to hurt him.

ok imagine thunder sounds because I can't really write them down. I felt droplets of water start touch our bodies and we pulled away. Loud thunder and heavy rain filled the sky. We got up and ran inside with our wet towels.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I . . . " Naruto was blushing and I realized why. We had just kissed! "I think I should go to my room. I don't feel well."

"Yeah, you might get a cold." As he went inside, Guilt and joy spread through my body. I loved Naruto more than anything and I loved the way we kissed but I knew this brought him pain. He would feel guilty after this, especially when he saw Sasuke.

Ok, that's all for now, not much happening here but you're in for a good one in the next chappie. See you there
