Yo's again, readers. I'm quite proud of my story so far… a lot of people like it.
The end of the last chapter was very important. It was kind of like… the nice, romantic thing that starts crushes…
In this chapter, Naruto's and Itachi's feelings develop further…

Itachi watched the blond cook from outside the kitchen. He smiled at Naruto's mistakes.
Naruto had been working at the mansion for about two weeks now. His schedule was simple: breakfast at 7, lunch at 12, dinner at 7. Naruto could eat whenever he pleased.
After dinner, Itachi would wait for Naruto in the garden. Sometimes he would come with Kyuubi, to allow him to play, or all alone. Naruto had yet to see the sunset, leaving before it happened. Itachi would be left alone to watch it every night.
Naruto finally finished with lunch, which was the easiest meal. It was the most formal. No worries about chicken or turkey or ham. Just things like grilled cheese, ravioli and spaghetti. Now that the food was done, he just had to wait another five minutes for one or more butlers to come. Somehow, they always knew just the amount to send.
"Smells good, whatever it is." Itachi said, walking into the room. Naruto smiled proudly at his work. "Grilled cheese, Sasuke will love it." Itachi praised before leaving the room.
Naruto felt his cheeks heat up. He'd developed a crush on Itachi. He would stay for the sunset if he wasn't so afraid of losing control and kissing him. He wanted to keep this job.
A few minutes later, the butlers came to take the food to the family. Naruto sighed and went to eat himself and take a bath.

This time, he wouldn't back out of seeing the sunset. He would see it with Itachi. Should anything happen, so be it.
He walked out into the garden to see Itachi on the bench that they would sit at each night they were there.
Itachi made room for Naruto and breathed in the late evening air.
"How was dinner, Itachi-sama?" Naruto asked politely.
Itachi smirked and looked at Naruto's blushing face. "All the food was wonderful. You did a fantastic job, as always." He replied, resting his arm on the bench behind Naruto's head.
"Thank you, Itachi-sama." Naruto felt his face getting hotter and hotter. The sunset wasn't too far away now and he was nervous. He wasn't sure whether he wanted something to happen or not.
"Are you staying for the sunset tonight?" Itachi asked curiously. Naruto had never stayed out this late. It was already starting to get close now.
Naruto nodded his head before leaning it on Itachi's arm.
They sat there, like that for the next 30 minutes as the sun set.

Naruto smiled as he pet Kyuubi, who was asleep in his arms.
"I think I like him, Kyuu." Naruto said, looking down at the sleeping cat. "I doubt that he likes me too."
Naruto looked up at the clock. He had an hour before he needed to get dinner around. Itachi had started to give him ideas on what to cook. Today's idea was roasted chicken. Naruto only prayed that he didn't make a huge mess again.
Kyuubi was awoken rudely by his master picking him up and tossing his to the ground. The spoiled cat hissed before walking off to leave Naruto another present on his bed.
Naruto quickly left the apartment to go to the kitchen. He had two hours until dinner, but he wanted to get it done in time so he didn't get fired.

The family cringed hearing another bang followed by a loud curse. The chef prepared good meals, but he was very violent with the pans.
Itachi sighed, standing to go to the kitchen to see what was going on as another loud curse could be heard.
"SHIT!" Itachi almost wanted to laugh when he saw the mess that Naruto had made. But he was an Uchiha, and Uchihas didn't laugh. Instead, he walked into the kitchen while Naruto was trying to finish the chicken without starting a fire.
"Do you need help, Naruto?" Itachi asked, watching the blond jump before laughing nervously while scratching the back of his neck.
"Nope, Itachi-sama; I'm good." Naruto said, trying to push some of the mess beneath a counter.
Itachi nodded before sitting down on one of the stools in the kitchen. He would watch Naruto cook today and decide whether or not to hire help for Naruto.

Itachi didn't need to hire help for Naruto. He just needed to hire a full-time maid for just the kitchen. When Naruto was done cooking, the kitchen was a disaster area. The food was good. It was always good.
The kitchen was such a mess, Itachi was sure that he would have to invent a new word to describe how awful it was.
Other than the fact that Naruto couldn't cook without creating a huge mess, Itachi was pleased with Naruto's cooking.
After dinner, Itachi waited outside for Naruto to come and watch the sunset with him. He didn't know why he enjoyed it so much. He just knew that he did. He enjoyed it to no end when Naruto leaned his head on his shoulder. He still didn't know why, but he hoped that Naruto would do it again.
Five minutes later, Naruto came out into the garden with Kyuubi. He put Kyuubi on the ground so the cat could play. He found his regular seat next to Itachi and leaned his head on his shoulder again.
Naruto let out a sigh and smiled up at Itachi, who smirked in reply. Kyuubi was climbing trees and jumping back down before he ran off to eat the grass.
Naruto laughed and closed his eyes, enjoying the closeness he was sharing with his boss. Itachi put his arm around Naruto's shoulders and leaned his cheek on Naruto's hair. The spiky mass was soft and rough at the same time.
The sun set and Kyuubi fell asleep on one of the bushes as Naruto and Itachi shared their first kiss.

Yay for first kisses! I'm sorry this is very late. I will try (and probably won't succeed) to update sooner. Again, though, I've been sick. Yesterday, I threw up five or six times in a matter of four hours.
I think I may be pregnant.
Anyways! Laters!
