Perfection, Nightmares and Music

Kakashi:

Kakashi wandered around campus. He didn't have a class this period, which he didn't know was a blessing or a curse yet, considering he had lunch next. However, today, it was a blessing. It gave him a full 40 minutes to try and get together what he was going to say to Itachi. He sighed and leaned against a tall oak tree.

"Itachi, Itachi…" He whispered quietly to himself. "How am I going to open up to you?"

He slide down the tree and closed his eyes peacefully. "Maybe a nap would calm me…"

Slowly he drifted off to sleep, the shadows playing behind his eyelids.

Itachi:

Itachi sighed, taking out his sketch book as he continued to walk, his head moving slightly to the sound of 'Feathers' by Coheed and Cambria. How he would live without music he will never know. He smiled lightly at how peaceful the campus was with no one to bother him while heading over to his oak tree that always gave him the best drawings. However, as he came closer he realized someone was underneath his tree.

"What gives them the right to sit under my tree with the way my day has been going?!" He thought as an aggravated sigh made its way past his lips. "Today hates me…"

He started towards the tree, ready to cuss out what ever unexpected soul decided to make the worse move of their life and sit under HIS tree while he was in a pissed off mood. But, he stopped five feet away.

"K-Kakashi?" Itachi gasped, frozen on the spot. For there in front of him was Hatake Kakashi, the senior he was planning on meeting at lunch that day, asleep under his oak tree. He looked peaceful, with his clothes slightly disheveled like he shifted in his sleep. However what had Itachi so spellbound was the fact, that sometime during Kakashi's sleep, his bandana had slid down his face to show his entire profile; shadows dancing gracefully and playing up his features.

"H-he's beautiful…" Itachi thought, before he quickly sat down, flipped to a new clean sheet in his notebook and began to draw the scene before him.

---

It took him a total of twenty minutes of nonstop drawing but he finally got everything perfect. The shadows, the highlights, the sleekness of Kakashi's hair, and the gentle pout of his lips. He was perfect, and Itachi finally thought he captured perfection in his drawing, even if it was only in pencil sketch. He sighed happily and closed his sketch book, placing it back in his tote. Now he only had one problem, should he wake Kakashi up?

Kakashi:

-Dreaming-

-He was running, and it was dark. So very, very dark, he couldn't even see a foot in front of him. But for some reason none of that mattered. All that mattered was that horrible feeling of dread that filled the pit of his stomach. Something was horribly wrong. He had to get to the end of this hallway. No matter what, he had to save someone who was there…but he wasn't getting anywhere!

"Damn!" He cursed loudly, pushing himself to run faster. He was going to be too late! He was always too late…

Finally!

He wrenched the door in front of him open. He knew someone was here! He knew he had to save them…they were important. The room was pitch-black.

"Fuck!" He was ready to tear this room apart for what he was looking for. "What am I looking for?"

Then he heard it…Sobbing. He quickly went towards the sound. It was coming from…a closet…?

Gently he turned the knob.

"Itachi?!" There on the bottom of the closet was his crush, looking up at him. He was crying, crying…blood?

Blood was everywhere. Dripping from Itachi's wrists, his blood red eyes, hi-his throat. Kakashi froze. "No…Not like dad…oh no…no…tell me he didn't…" He whispered half-thoughts with eyes wide.

"K-Kakashi…I'm…I'm s-sorry…" Itachi's voice was gurgled by the blood and his hand out stretched towards Kakashi before he fell in a bloody heap.-

"NO!!!!!" Kakashi screamed shooting up in a sitting position just to stare into a pair of blood red eyes.

"Shh…Kakashi…It was only a dream…" A pair of comforting arms slipped around him and Kakashi sat spell-bounded.

"I-Itachi…?" Kakashi whispered stunned before he realized it was in fact the dark haired teen hugging him. Slowly Kakashi's arms wrapped around the teen, which was somehow in his lap, and he nuzzled his face into the raven wing like hair.

"T-thank you…"

---

They sat there for only a few minutes before Kakashi pulled back and smiled at Itachi. Itachi's breath caught.

Kakashi noticed his mesmerized expression and tilted his head.

"Oi. Itachi? What's wrong?" Kakashi put his hand on his chin to complete a thinking pose and froze as soon at skin touched skin. "SHIT!"

He quickly pulled up his bandana as his face turned scarlet. Itachi blinked as soon as the bandana was up and a slight frown took over his features.

"Hn." He reached forward to pull the bandana down again as Kakashi's face went a darker shade of red.

"I-Itachi…!" He stuttered out trying to move away from the younger teen but his back hit the tree trunk. He quickly gasped and froze. Itachi was so close. The determined look in his eyes and the way his hips were moving against Kakashi's own. "Oh god…"

He had to get out of this position before he did something so stupid that Itachi would never talk to him again…But How?!

He blinked. Wait a minute…

"Hey Itachi. What cha listening to?"

Itachi:

Itachi blinked, his focus broken.

"What am I listening to…?"

Itachi suddenly realized he still had his IPod in, listening to one of his many playlists. The same IPod Kakashi now had in his hands and was looking at. "Wait?! When did he get beside me?"

"Face Down by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus?" Kakashi asked. Itachi paid attention to the music playing. It seems like Kakashi was right.

"I got this song because of Mom and Dad…" He thought idly before Kakashi smiled at him. (At least it seemed like he did)

"Good Song. What else do you have on here?" Kakashi asked before a clicking noise alerted the Uchiha that the Hatake was going through his music. Itachi took out an earphone and handed it to Kakashi. For some reason, he trusted Kakashi with his IPod…which was very strange since NO ONE was allowed to touch his IPod. He was broke out of his musing by Kakashi's laughter.

"I never pegged you as a Jeffree Star fan!" Kakashi exclaimed. Itachi blushed…oh now he was in for it.

"He going make fun of me, but I just love Jeffree's songs…" Itachi thought grimly. That was until he heard Kakashi singing.

"I'm on the top there's no luck never turned around to stop make my move make you move make you wanna hear me talk! See me walk, See me fuck, See me suck a lollipop!" Kakashi ended the first chorus with more laughter. By that point Itachi was quietly singing along and didn't realize Kakashi stopped.

"Mmm...Wanna get Messy?" He sang with a slight smirk. Kakashi blushed lightly but held up his hand for a high five.

"That's Awesome! High five me, man! I've finally found someone who knows Miss. Star!" Kakashi exclaimed with a grin. Itachi smiled before high fiving Kakashi.

"Tell me about it. No one knows Jeffree fucking Star, it should be a crime!" Itachi said getting into the conversation.

Kakashi:

Kakashi smiled softly at Itachi's enthusiasm. The younger teen was the quiet type he had observed but it seems like Kakashi found what got him out of his shell. Music.

"Thank goodness...something I know just about everything about..." His thought was cut off by the next artist he saw with his scanning of Itachi's playlists. He quickly tackled the younger teen to the sophomore's surprise.

"YOU KNOW PANIC AT THE DISCO AND COHEED AND CAMBRIA!!!" He exclaimed hugging the confused teen. Finally knowing what Kakashi was talking about Itachi grinned. (AN: GAH! YAY!! A GRINNING ITA-KUN!!! *fangirl squees*)

"Well YEAH! Those bands are only some of the best you can find!" Itachi said happily. "I mean seriously, them and Linkin Park I live off of."

Kakashi stared at the sophomore stunned. "He...is perfect…"

He grinned before standing up and holding his hand out for Itachi.

"You sir, are one of the smartest people I've ever met." He said smiling. "Let us continue this at Lunch."
