"Your hair got a lot longer," Kakashi said as he brushed strands of hair away from Itachi's face. He lightly scratched his scalp, earning a pleasurable noise from the Uchiha's mouth. Kakashi smirked and said, "you're just like a kitty."
"A kitty? Don't be ridiculous."
"But you're so cute. Just like a little kitten," he whispered into his ear. Itachi couldn't help but close his eyes and let out a tiny moan. Kakashi lowered his mask and brushed his lips against the other's. He pulled away, just as Itachi tried to kiss him back. "I'm sorry. Someone's coming," he said, giving the Uchiha's hand a squeeze for reassurance. The last thing he wanted was for Itachi to think that he didn't want him. Kakashi couldn't have wanted him more. He craved to be close to Itachi everyday for the past seven years.
"Out of my way! Come on Shizune! Hurry up! Step aside you two. I never gave you orders to be guarding Itachi Uchiha. Why the hell are you here! Yeah well I don't care what Danzo says. Move! Thank you!"
The door slid open and the Hokage, Shizune and Naruto barged in like they owned the place. Kakashi sighed in annoyance. They were interupting his time with Itachi.
Tsunade glanced at the doll in Itachi's hands, but merely shook her head and got down to business. "Your brother is throwing a crazy fit. I think it'd be best if you went to go see him as soon as possible," she said, as she walked around the bed to check Itachi's injuries. "You're healing exceptionally well. You'll probably just be a bit sore and wobbly for the next couple of days. But you'll be able to leave today. I'll have Kakashi be your personal bitch boy since he's the one who's responsible for you being here. I'm sure he'd be more than happy to provide you a place to stay. Isn't that right Kakashi?"
The man nodded and walked over to the window.
"You mean, you're ordering Kakashi to keep a watchful eye on me incase I try and turn on the village with Sasuke? That sounds reasonable enough. But what's going to happen to Sasuke?"
"You can't honesdtly keep him locked away," Kakashi added in. Not too far away from the hospital, he caught sight of Asuma and Kurenai sitting on a bench, holding hands. He couldn't believe that the two thought they were being discrete and sly about their relationship. Everyone knew they were together anyways. He couldn't deny that he was always a bit jealous of the two because they had something he could never obtain. Well, it seemed unattainable until recently.
"What the hell is going on! Why is Itachi getting all this special treatment? While Sasuke is locked away by himself all day!"
Tsunade rolled her eyes and ignored answering the teen's question. "Get dressed and Kakashi will escort you over to my office," she said, as she walked out of the room with Shizune right behind her. Naruto stared at the two, unsure of what to say.
Kakashi turned away from the window and pointed at the bag Naruto was holding. "Are those clothes for him?" Naruto nodded and placed the bag on the bed. "I'm coming with you to see Sasuke," he said, before walking out to wait in the hallway.
Kakashi shook his head and set the clothes out on the bed. He grabbed the Uchiha's wrist and helped him stand up. Itachi gave Kakashi a light push and mumbled, "Turn around."
"I already am turned around. What do you take me for?" Although he in fact, was still watching his former lover as he reluctantly shed his hospital gown. His body was covered in bruises and a few bandaged wounds. But besides that, he still looked like the same old Itachi from a couple years ago.
"A pervert," the younger man stated as he his back to Kakashi and felt around the bed for his clothes.
Kakashi smirked and his eye couldn't help but drift down the Uchiha's body. He licked his lips, before speaking up. " I was young back then. I'm not gonna watch you change. I'm more mature than that," Kakashi responded, as he practically drooled over the show the Uchiha was putting on.
Itachi slowly walked through the streets of Konoha, with Kakashi's hand on his arm to guide him. He felt a uneasy to say the least. He may have been blind but he wasn't deaf. All he could hear was people whispering as he walked by them. The fact that they insulted him didn't really bother him too much. But, he hated that Kakashi was there to hear them. He could sense the man's anger begin to rise with every passing second.
"You're going to break my arm if you squeeze any harder Kakashi."
Kakashi's eye widened and he quickly let go of the younger man's arm. He mumbled an apology and gently placed his hand on Itachi's shoulder instead. "You're more than welcomed to stay with me. You know that right? I won't take no for an answer. Sadly, I only have one extra bedroom, which I figured Sasuke could stay in. So you'll have to share my bed with me. And I won't take no for an answer."
"I...I don't know if Sasuke would like that."
"I don't think I'd like it that much either. But if it meant that I'd be closer to you than I'd do it. I remember he was such a cute kid when I first met him," he said, as an image of a young, smiling Sasuke entered his mind.
"Yeah. He adored you."
Kakashi smirked, rather pleased that the boy had taken such a liking to him back then. "I think he adored me more than you did?"
"Not possible," Itachi whispered under his breath.
Kakashi slowly walked through the streets of Konoha. To everyone, it may have looked like he had no care in the world. But inside Kakashi was mentally freaking out. Perhaps he should have dressed up for his...date? He wasn't sure if it was actually a date. But it was a scheduled meeting between two lovers. 'If that's not a date, then I don't know what is,' he thought to himself, as he put his book away. 'But what about all the times we hung out in my apartment? Were those dates too? No. They didn't seem like it. I wonder if he thinks we're dating. If we are, does that mean we're open to see other people as well? He must be seeing someone else too...'
Itachi glanced at the figure slowly approaching him. He hoped he looked okay. He had left the house in a bit of a rush. He checked his shirt, to make sure he hadn't put it on backwards and smoothed down his hair as well. He couldn't contain the small smile that formed on his face when Kakashi ran towards him. The man wrapped his arms around Itachi's waist and twirled them around. 'How cheesey and cliche Kakashi,' Itachi thought as he was thankfully put down seconds later. He pushed a few strands of hair out of his face and stared back at Kakashi's face. Suprisingly Kakashi was missing his forehead protector and his green vest, which the Uchiha was thankful for. He could see more of Kakashi's face and it was a lot more comfortable hugging him without that vest in the way.
"How's my little dango today?"
Itachi rolled his eyes and turned his head away to hide the blush forming on his cheeks, but the man grabbed his chin and kissed him through his mask. Kakashi always had to go out of his way to embarass the teen. "I'm okay and don't call me that ridiculous pet name," he mumbled.
His eyes immediatly caught sight of a familiar head of black hair. Although, the last thing he needed was having his little brother tag along on his date, he couldn't help but smile. The little boy thought he was being stealth. Kakashi had noticed the boy too. "I'm sorry," Itachi mouthed. He was certain that Sasuke would not want to leave the two alone now. And Itachi didn't know if he had the heart to turn his little brother away. He swore Sasuke's sad and disappointed face haunted him.
Sasuke peeked his head out of a bush and saw his brother with another man. He waited a moment before running behind the closest tree. He thought he was being pretty sneaky, but he had a feeling that his brother already knew he was there. Kakashi pulled a kunai out of his pocket and threw it towards the boy. Sasuke's eyes widened, when he saw the kunai miss him by a few inches, and he ran over to his brother.
Itachi crouched down to the boy's level and placed a hand ontop of his head, before speaking. "Why are you following me?" The teen already knew the answer though. The boy had practically thrown a fit when he saw Itachi leaving the house just minutes before. Sasuke knew his brother wasn't going out to train, so his curiousty got the best of him and he decided spying on his brother would be the best idea.
"I was just...well...I wanted to hang out with you," Sasuke replied, which was soon followed by a pathetic pout. Itachi opened his mouth to respond, but Sasuke cut him off again. He knew that look. Itachi was going to poke him and try and send him back home. "Please just let me hang out with you and your friend. I promise I won't be a bother. I won't even say a word. I just wanna be around you."
The couple sat next to eachother beneath a large tree, the teen's hand resting on top of Kakashi's, as they watched Sasuke play in the small lake with a miserable looking Pakkun. Kakashi wasn't too fond of children, but he couldn't deny that the little Uchiha was rather cute. He felt sorry for the pug though. But thankfully he agreed to entertain the child for a bit.
"Spread your legs."
Kakashi raised his brow but did as he was told. He knew that sentence was always sexual when it came out of his mouth, but of course Itachi would say something like that with completely innocent motives. The teen smiled and settled himself between Kakashi's legs. He leaned his head back and took it upon himself to grab Kakashi's arms and drape them around his waist. Even though Sasuke was there, that didn't stop Itachi from showing his boyfriend a bit of affection. He rested his hand on the older man's inner thigh and placed kisses on his cheek and neck, but that's as far as they took it.
"Kakashi!"
The couple was brought out of their own little world and watched as Sasuke ran towards them, soaked from head to toe. With a quick glance around the area, Kakashi noticed that Pakkun had disappeared. "I think your little brother pissed Pakkun off," he whispered into his lover's ear.
"Kakashi your dogs mean! He bit my foot and then left. I didn't do anything. I swear," the boy responded, his hands behind his back and a guilty expression on his face. Sasuke tilted his head to the side and looked at how close his brother was to Kakashi. The curious child asked, "Why are you sitting like boyfriend and girlfriend?" He had seen a couple on television sitting like that a fews days ago. But he knew Itachi was a boy and Kakashi wasn't a girl.
Itachi sighed and figured he had no choice but to tell Sasuke. He didn't mind if the boy knew, as long as his parents didn't find out. But he knew Sasuke wouldn't tell them. "Because Kakashi's my boyfriend," he explained.
Sasuke's eyes lit up, which was completely unexpected. "That's so cool! Girls are weird and gross anyways. But wait. Do you guys kiss and stuff?" He asked. Sasuke scrunched up his face as if he had just taken a bite out of a lemon, when Kakashi and Itachi nodded. His expression went blank for a moment, before he got all excited again. "Kakashi can you be my boyfriend too? Except without the gross kissing and stuff!"
Itachi laughed and shook his head."Sorry Sasuke. You can't have him. When you get older you can think about stuff like that."
"Kakashi you're super strong right? I heard my dad and Itachi talking about you. So can you please teach me a new jutsu? I know how to do the fireball jutsu."
The older man thought about it for a moment. The idea of trying to teach someone a jutsu didn't really appeal to him, but he figured he would do it for Itachi's sake. "I suppose. But It'll take some time. It'll be even harder to learn. Are you up for it?"
"Yeah Yeah Yeah! What's it called?"
Itachi leaned forward and let Kakashi stand up. He scooted back and leaned against the tree as he watched the two most important people in his life. Sasuke looked like he was ready to burst from excitement, as he bounced up and down. He could see that same glint of admiration that he always received from Sasuke. This was exactly what Itachi wanted. He didn't have enough time to spend with Sasuke, so hopefully Kakashi could be a big brother figure to the boy, because he knew it wasn't long until he would be completely out of the picture.
"Chidori," Kakashi said as he formed a few hand seals. Sasuke's eyes widened when he saw a ball of lightening in Kakashi's hand. "It'll take a long time to learn. But I promise you'll master it one day. Isn't that right babe?"
Itachi forced a smile on his face and nodded.
