xXx
A spoon swirled absently in the red liquid, lavender eyes watched in curiosity as brown and white bits occasionally broke the surface of the red with the stirring of her utensil. She never had anything like this, she only remembered eating stuff like fruit.
The stew's scent drifted up to her nostrils and she breathed it in.
It certainly had a pleasant scent - that's for sure.
"Go on Hinata," Her eyes drifted up to see the older sibling sitting across from her, his own food temporarily forgotten in favor of watching her in amusement as she played with her's. "It may not be as extravagant as what you've eaten before...but I assure you that it's delicious."
She nodded wordlessly and maneuvered her spoon around until she caught a piece of meat and cabbage that she carefully placed into her mouth. Chewing, she could feel the onyx orbs practically digging into her head as he waited to see her reaction to his food.
A chuckle was heard once her cheeks brightened, a wide smile pulling along her lips once she swallowed the food in her mouth and began to eagerly dig her spoon into the liquid to find more meat and cabbage. It was certainly much different from the sweetness of fruit but it was extremely delectable - she wondered if all food that humans eat are this good.
She fished out another piece of meat and was about to eat it when another spoon rudely invaded her bowl and plopped pieces of the vegetable in her bowl. Blinking incredulously, her gaze drifted to her right to see the stone faced younger brother casually depositing all his leftover cabbage into her bowl as if it was the most normal thing to do after he's eaten all the meat.
"U-uhm..." She whispered, fingers lifting to use her spoon to impede the invading spoon's attempts to drop more of the vegetables in her bowl. She didn't understand what he was doing. Did he not like this food?
Those hard eyes drifted up to glare into her questioning ones, leaving her to flinch and nervously turn her gaze away, "What?"
Itachi frowned at the display, he was not pleased to see Sasuke just wasting his food like that.
"Sasuke, what do you think you're doing?" He demanded. Really now, his little brother was such a brat at times.
"Getting rid of this shit. What else does it look like?" He snapped, grabbing the angel's wrist to move her spoon out of the way as he dumped the last of the cabbage in her bowl.
"Do...do you not like it?" Hinata asked in her soft voice. Does he normally just dump his food in others bowls?
"Nope."
"W-why not? It's delicious." She tried to argue but he was adamant as he stood up to go wash his bowl.
"Maybe for you," The sponge swiped over the bowl, cleaning it from any remnants of food. Finished, he went to the fridge and opened it up to snatch up something red and round before taking his seat once again next to her, his eyes glared at his sibling who went back to eating, "But when you've eaten nothing but cabbage filled dishes all week - you get sick of it."
"You're lucky I don't let you starve." Itachi piped up, eyes gazing back coolly at his seething brother, "Ungrateful brat."
Sasuke scowled, "I'll stop being ungrateful once you stop forcing me to eat cabbage everyday." He squeezed the red object in his hand when his older brother merely rolled his eyes and went back to eating, ignoring his foolish little brother.
Still with a sour expression, the youngest dug his teeth viciously into the fruit in his hand. Hinata watched with growing curiosity as some red liquid squirted from the pressure of his teeth piercing it though the male paid no mind, even as it began to dribble down his chin as he ripped the piece off to chew.
She continued to watch in fascination as the furrow between his brows loosened until he was back to his neutral expression, seemingly placated thanks to what he's eating now. It must've been extremely good if it calmed down the aggressive brother so easily.
Dark eyes flitted to her after feeling her staring at him for so long, taking another bite, he rose a questioning brow at the angel. The hell she keeps staring at him for? She better not be falling for him like his fangirls, he would think an angel would be better than that.
But she merely lifted a finger to point at the fruit in his grasp, "What is that?"
Ah, she's curious.
Of course.
"A tomato." He stated once he swallowed the bit in his mouth, he held it out to the wide eyed female, "Try it. It's much better than what you're currently eating."
Itachi's brow twitched but he refrained from saying anything.
Hinata hesitated for a bit before nervously lifting her hands to cup either side his hand holding the fruit, not noticing him tense at her touch as she leaned up and nibbled on the broken edge of where he bit.
Sasuke's brows pinched together, warmth just barely tickling his cheeks as he attempted to keep his face straight. He was expecting her to take the tomato out of his hand, not grasp onto him and eat it while he was still holding it, especially not from a part he bit from too. He found himself having a hard time looking away from those pearly teeth and petal pink lips as she nibbled experimentally on the edge before her teeth latched around a small piece and tore it off.
His hands were still holding the tomato up in the air absently as his eyes gazed dreamily at the mesmerizing pink lips that have gotten shiny from the juice coating it.
Swallowing quietly, he broke himself out of his trance and lowered his arm to watch her reaction to the fruit. His lips tightened in a frown once her gentle face scrunched up in displeasure.
"You don't like it." He stated and she looked up at him apologetically.
He shifted to laying back lazily in his seat, face set back into his grouchy glower, "Demon."
Hinata looked almost offended at his comment as she turned to him with a frantic expression, "I-I'm not a demon."
"Yes, you are." He ripped another piece off viciously, "Only demons hate tomatoes."
Hinata sputtered, about to try to defend herself once more when Itachi straightened up and sent his little brother a cold smile, "Sasuke, that's not true. I also dislike tomatoes Hinata, don't worry."
"See," Sasuke mumbled around his mouthful of food, finger pointing rudely at his brother's smiling countenance, "That's the smile of a demon."
Hinata was now staring at the older Uchiha in wonder and Itachi felt the corner of his lips twitch in annoyance at his sibling.
"Please don't listen to my foolish little brother, Hinata. He's always spouting ridiculous things." His smile softened at her, pleased when she nodded her head, listening to him without question before turning back to finish her food. He was even more pleased once the annoyed 'tch' reached his ears.
It didn't take long until the three finished eating and Itachi got up to take Hinata's bowl and his to the sink, placing it down, he made his way back to the angel who's gone back to trembling, wondering nervously what he wanted to do next. He smiled once more and gently reached down to cup the angel's quivering hands in his own and helping her stand up.
"Sasuke, wash the dishes," Itachi looked back at his lounging brother as he placed a hand on Hinata's back, eyes narrowing at the juice staining his sibling's chin and collar of his shirt in distaste. "And clean yourself up - you look like a messy child."
The raven snarled in irritation at his brother's words, "Shut the hell up." He glared at Itachi wordlessly leading Hinata off, "What the fuck are you gonna do now?"
"I'm gonna help her take a shower," He glanced over his shoulder with a small smirk. "Unless...you'd rather do it, dear little brother?"
He was thoroughly satisfied once he spotted the pink dotting his sibling's cheeks as he turned his head away with a scoff.
That's what he thought.
As blunt and abrasive as Sasuke is, he's not as comfortable with the opposite sex as his older brother. Being a doctor also helps with Itachi being completely unfazed by nudity - unlike his little brother who probably hasn't even seen a naked woman yet with his usual aversion to females.
"I promise I won't lay a hand on you." Itachi informed the blue haired angel after noticing her wary gaze on him once he closed the bathroom door behind them, leaning against the counter, he tilted his head towards her. "You know how to use the shower, right?"
She nodded, quivering lips parting to answer, "Yes. He would usually make me shower after he..." She trailed off and judging by the frightened look in her hazy eyes, Itachi could bet that she was remembering some rather unpleasant memories.
He turned his gaze away, crossing his arms across his chest and inwardly cursing the bastard that had her before, "Well, it's basically the same thing. I'll be waiting here incase you need any help."
"T-thank you.." There was some rustling as she removed her clothes until her small voice drew his attention again, "Uhm...Itachi?"
"Hm?" His onyx eyes drifted back to the petite female causing him to bite the inside of his cheek at the sight of her exposed lower half. Thanking the gods for his amazing self control as he tore his eyes away from the delectable pink just barely seen between her thighs.
And she wasn't making any move to cover herself either. Maybe she's grown so accustomed to being nude that she isn't as embarrassed as a normal person at having no clothes on.
She was gesturing to the bandages around her chest, unaware of his dilemma of trying to avoid staring at her curvy body, "Should I...leave this on?"
He shook his head, turning his gaze back to the ground and holding a waiting hand out to her, "No, just remove it and give it to me. I'll throw it away and give you a new one after."
She made a soft affirmative sound before he soon felt the gauze being gently deposited into his open palm. Closing his fingers around it, he waited until he heard the shower curtain being slid close and the water turned on before he leaned over and tossed the used gauze into the bathroom trash.
In the meantime, he decided to dig into the cabinet and pulled out the roll of gauze. Placing it on the counter, he was about to go back to leaning against it when the sound of the curtains scrapping against the rung caught his attention and he turned to see the flushed face of the angel peeking out at him nervously.
"Uhm.." She only seemed even more anxious and so he raised an inquiring brow.
"Yes?"
"C-could you...wash my back...please?" With a chuckle, he made his way to her and gently took the wash cloth from her as she turned away and pulled her long hair over her shoulder so that it would be out of the way as she gazed over her shoulder at him. "I don't want to d-damage my wounds."
"I understand," He murmured, carefully ghosting the cloth over the scabbed over lacerations, he placed a hand on her shoulder as he began to run the cloth over the rest of the milky skin of her back once he was finished with the damaged tissue. Reaching her lower back, his eyes were inadvertently drawn to the angel's tempting rounded bottom. Biting his lower lip, he shut his eyes and released a slow breath before forcing his gaze back up to her shoulder blades.
He's not, nor will he ever be - an animal, like that asshole that tortured Hinata.
His thumb gently grazed the lacerations, "Does it hurt?"
"...No," Her face turned to see behind her as a hand attempted to reach back to the spot where her wings previously resided. Itachi frowned at the forlorn look taking over her lavender eyes. "..I don't feel anything."
"Here, I'm finished." He handed her the wash cloth and she whispered her thanks before the curtain slid close once more as Itachi took up his spot by the counter again.
It was only a few more minutes of silence before the water squeaked shut and Itachi was again greeted with the warm face of the angel, "Uhm...do you have a towel?"
He nodded, grabbing a towel hanging nearby and handed it to her, "This one's clean and unused."
He was still lounging against the counter when Hinata finished drying her self off and wrapped up in the towel. The corner of Itachi's lips tilted up when the angel stopped in front of him, "Feel better?"
Lavender eyes gazed up at him in wonder, pink lips parted slightly, chest feeling warm at the handsome human's smile. Her hand holding the towel squeezed the material in her grasp - he really did keep his word about not laying a hand on her, only touching her when she asked for his help. Her eyes glazed over with affection, she's still not completely sure she trusts him considering it's only been a couple hours since they've met and she probably has yet to see every aspect of his personality...but this kindness he's been giving her is all that she's wished for in her father's prized creations.
Itachi's dark eyes widened slightly at the sudden feeling of heat cupping the side of his face, a thumb running delicately along the stress line by his eye. His heart beat picked up in speed at the affection flowing from those lavender pools, pink lips pulled up into a warm smile that was hard to tear his eyes from, "I feel much better, thank you Itachi."
"Keep this up...and I just might fall for you." He whispered, hand coming up to cover hers as his dark eyes stared meaningfully into hers.
The spell was broken once she tipped her head to the side, eyes blinking owlishly, "Fall?"
He chuckled, dropping his hand back down with a shake of his head, "Nothing."
It's been way too long since he's been with a woman.
Moving away and opening the door, the Uchiha glanced back at the puzzled angel, "Come. I'll rewrap you and get you some clothes."
xXx
Sasuke felt his eye twitch, cheeks lighting up in a soft blush.
All he wanted was to watch a movie in peace but his stupid brother and the angel had to join in.
Next thing he knows, he feels something slump against his shoulder, warmth filling his entire left side and looked, only to see a crown of blue hair greeting his eyes as the owner snoozed innocently against him.
He gulped, shifting awkwardly in his spot. Why did she have to fall asleep against him? She's not like regular women that he would just shove away normally for even just accidentally brushing up against him.
She's a literal angel.
And it probably isn't very good for his soul to shove an angel off of him.
'Besides,' he thought as he examined her slumbering face, 'She isn't too bad on the eyes.' She's certainly attractive like you'd expect a being like an angel to be.
Movement from the opposite side diverted his attention from the sleeping female to catch the amused face of his brother. The pink instantly vanished from his cheeks as he scowled at the older Uchiha, "The hell are you looking at?"
Itachi held out his arms invitingly towards the two, "If you don't want Hinata on you, then you can give her to me."
"Shut up." Sasuke snapped, moving to slip his arms beneath the angel's head and knees. Lifting her up, he let her head rest against his chest as he sent his brother one last glare before turning to leave. "I'm putting her to bed."
He doesn't know why - but it irritates him to see Itachi be so touchy feely with Hinata. Normally his older brother is closed off from the opposite sex like him - well, maybe he's not as cold as Sasuke but he certainly isn't usually as friendly as he is with this angel.
Sasuke gazed down absently at her delicate facial features as he walked to his room, her long lashes, the small button nose and soft pink lips, complete with her milky skin. The woman was built with features reminiscent to a porcelain doll.
His thumb caressed the inside of her knee, perhaps Itachi is just fond of her 'cause she isn't human and that interests him.
Yep, definitely because she's not human. That's what Sasuke is choosing to believe.
He placed her down on his bed and tossed the blanket over her, accidentally covering her face. Rolling his eyes, he slid it down until it rested on her neck, eyes going back to taking in her unique features. Now that he's alone and she's asleep, he feels a lot more comfortable to examine her.
Letting curiosity take over, he thread his fingers along her bangs. They slipped smoothly through his fingers, no sign of tangles in sight. It was so sleek and shiny too - of course, angels would have perfect hair. What did he expect?
Next, his hand trailed down to graze the pad of his fingers along the creamy skin of her cheek, quietly marveling at how soft and blemish free it was. She had absolutely no sign of any skin problems ever, even he - with how perfect his looks are - had to deal with the occasional pimple appearing when he was younger, it almost made him jealous. The tips of his fingers tickled her jawline, memorizing the feel of such smooth skin; it was quite pleasant to touch, that's for sure.
His thumb accidentally bumped into her bottom lip in his travel along her jaw and he paused. Blinking slowly and soaking in the sight of the pink lips, the same lips that could make eating a tomato attractive.
Unconsciously, his thumb pressed down on her bottom lip, feeling the plush flesh in curiosity. His cheeks began to heat up, eyes practically in a trance once he ran his thumb along the length of her bottom lip, it made him realize something - he never did kiss a woman in his life. He never noticed or thought about it 'cause everytime anyone of the opposite sex ever came near him, they'd always smother him with unwanted hugs and he'd always push them away in response.
He never met one that would actually keep her distance like this angel. It was...nice to see a female that isn't constantly throwing herself on him for once.
His thumb slid back over her bottom lip. He briefly wondered what it would be like if she were to ever let him kiss he-
"Is that," A cold voice suddenly invaded his ear, sending a chill shooting up his spine. "...Hormones I smell?"
"What the fu-" He jerked away from the person behind him, face flushing in embarrassment at being caught and eyes narrowing into a seething glare that attempted to burn holes into the smug face of his older brother. "Dammit Itachi! The hell do you think you're doing?!"
"I know this is your first time being attracted to a female," Itachi straightened up, cool gaze staring seriously into his flustered sibling's eyes. "But I do hope you'll control yourself. I'm pretty sure I have an idea of what that Kabuto guy did to her...and she doesn't need either of us reminding her of that trauma."
"I know that," Sasuke scoffed, feeling offended that his brother had so little faith in his self control. "I'm not a disgusting monster like that guy."
Itachi smiled, "Good boy." He patted Sasuke's head affectionately until his hand was slapped away by the grumpy raven.
"I made your bed on the couch, so come on." Itachi informed him, turning around to leave.
"Yeah, yeah," Sasuke grumbled, about to follow his brother until his earlier words rang into his head, finally dawning on him what Itachi was implying. The raven went right back to snarling at Itachi's back. "And I'm not attracted to her - stop assuming things."
Itachi shook his head at Sasuke's words, lips cocking up in a smirk.
His foolish little brother can be so cute sometimes.
