Enjoy! ;)

Love never came easy to the blond doctor. Every relationship he's ever had, if you can even call them that, never functioned. His partners always complained and criticized his every verdict and motive. They tried to change every little aspect of his life until they drove him on the edge. It always ended the same, with his partners rebuking him and his lifestyle with stinging words and a slam of his door.

"You never loved me!"

He would then submerge himself in his work until he passed out from exhaustion just to keep his mind off of his past lovers and the turmoil within his heart. Tsunade and his friends would then try to intervene, eventually forcing him to rest and regain a social life. Naruto would resentfully oblige and then his life would return to its miserable normalcy until the next person came along and the pattern would continue.

"You are doomed to find someone unlike me!"

Naruto believed he was cursed in love. He thought he would never truly feel the happiness of having that one person closest to you. However, on that cold, snowy afternoon, his outlook on love changed. He would forever remember the powerful feelings consuming his heart the very moment he saw him standing there in the waiting area.

"Who would ever put up with you?"

He was beautiful from head to toe. His raven hair dotted with small flecks of white snow that made it glow heavenly under the fluorescent lighting. His cheeks, flushed from the cold, contrasted with the milky color of his unblemished skin. His breath came in short gasps, as if he just ran a marathon. But what captivated the blond as soon as he set his eyes on the dark-haired beauty were his eyes.

Black as the night sky and full of expression.

Naruto knew from that instant that he was in love. His heart belonged to this stranger. His heart raced, thudding painfully against his chest when his new-found love demanded to see him. The onyx-eyed man's posture was anything but friendly. His fists were clenched and his lips curled viciously, baring his pearly white teeth.

And his eyes, ablaze with anger.

"—aruto."

And when they turned on him when he spoke.

"Naruto—"

It was like the sky opened up and he saw the light for the very first time.

"Hello! Anyone in there!"

Naruto blinked, snapping out of his daze to face his worried friend. The brunette was waving a hand frantically across his face. The brown-haired man released a comforted sigh, taking a seat beside the blond. Quirking an eyebrow at his puzzled friend, Kiba waited for Naruto's reason for dozing off.

A moment of silence seemed to stretch for a long time between the two friends. When he saw that Naruto was not going to say anything, Kiba leaned back onto the iron brown chair. Crossing his arms across his chest, he finally spoke:

"Have I ever told you that brooding isn't your thing?"

"I'm not brooding," Naruto retorted too quickly, sniffing lightly as if he were offended. He glanced away to avoid Kiba's piercing gaze, resting against his open palm as he hesitated to continue.

"I'm just thinking about him."

Kiba made a noise of recognition, easing the blond to relax and slump his tense shoulders.

"How is your Baby Momma by the way?"

Naruto glared at the grinning brunette before replying with a defeated groan.

"It's been a week and I haven't heard a word from him."

"Man, that's rough," Kiba commented, receiving another reproachful glower, "Don't you have his number?"

"Of course I do," Naruto growled, "It's just… I was hoping to have heard from him first before I made the first move."

"Oh Naruto, that is why you never go after single parents. He must be busy with the little tyke and his job to even think about dating."

"That's the thing, though. His brother told me that Sasuke had requested a temporary leave to relax."

"Maybe he's just not that into you," Kiba laughed as he avoided a punch.

"I fucking hate that movie," Naruto mumbled, satisfied when he heard Kiba's cry of pain when he kicked his shin from under the table.

"Ok, Ok, but in all seriousness," Kiba defended," wouldn't you think he would have called if he were interested. Maybe you came off a little strong? You do tend to appear as a pervert."

"Hey!" The blond cried, insulted, "So what if I did imply that I wanted to sleep with him."

Kiba shook his head disapprovingly.

"This is exactly why your relationships never work. You come off as some fuck buddy and when they leave you, guess what happens."

Naruto opened his mouth to retaliate, but mumbled something under his breath instead, realizing the painful truth from Kiba's statement.

"That's right. You mope and bitch about how you are doomed to find love when it is your fault for sounding like a manwhore in the first place, no offense dude."

"Whatever," The blond grumbled, slumping forward, "But I did ask him to go out with me on a date."

"Did you imply sex afterwards?"

"…Maybe."

Kiba chuckled softly, patting his pouting friend's shoulder in a comforting manner.

"It's ok, buddy, I'm sure he'll come around eventually."

"If I didn't know any better I would think you are taking pleasure in my painful woes of love."

"Nah," Kiba grinned, waving him off, "But I will be honest with you. I'm starting to think this is Karma for all the times I caught you doing the nasty with your past partners. I still can't believe you did it in your office."

"Hey, I told you crystal clear that I'll be busy. Not my fault that you don't listen, closet pervert."

"I'm going to bust a cap in your ass—"

"Doctor Uzumaki, you are needed at the receptionist's desk. Doctor Uzumaki, you are needed in the receptionist's desk."

"Well, that's my cue. See you later, mutt."

Standing up, he waved goodbye to his fuming friend, dodging a plastic water cup aimed at his head. His laughter died down when he saw the familiar dark silhouette of the man haunting his dreams. He was taller than his beloved with longer hair tied into a ponytail.

"Itachi," Naruto whispered, stopping a few feet from the eldest Uchiha.

Itachi turned from the poster he was observing to settle his piercing gaze onto the blond doctor. He straightened his posture, taking long strides until he was in an appropriate few feet away.

"Naruto," Itachi greeted, smirking softly. The dark-haired man perceived the way Naruto's body immediately tensed and how he stood taller.

"Itachi, to what do I owe this pleasure of having you today?"

"My dear cousin, Neji, is holding a formal ball this upcoming Saturday evening," Itachi smiled politely, taking glee in the way Naruto's face scrunched in curiosity, "I was wondering if you would like to accompany me as a friend."

Naruto hesitated, balancing his options. He wasn't doing anything this weekend and he had the day off, which was convenient for the Uchiha. There was the possibility of bumping into Sasuke again…

"Sure, at what time is the party?"

Itachi hid his gleeful smirk.

"It will start at seven, but we'll arrive sooner for business purposes. I'll send someone to your home to give you the invitation and I'll explain to you all the details as the date gets nearer."

"Sounds like a plan! I can't wait!"

"I assure you that it will be a night you will never forget," Itachi grinned.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I know it was kind of short, but there is only one more chapter left! Tell me what you think :)

Until next time!
