Hello everyone,

Pairing: ItaNaruIta

Just to let everyone know this one isn't going to be a long one. I think this one might be less than 10 chapters.

Enjoy the new story.

Naruto couldn't believe his ears and it was slightly shocking that he was in this position. After twenty-four years of his life, he never thought he would be in this position.

Naruto Uzumaki was twenty-four years old with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a muscular build around 5'7". He was friendly with just about everyone that entered his life. But this was slightly shocking even with his nice personality.

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.

"I want you to teach me how to love someone that isn't my family," Itachi said looking completely serious which wasn't surprising.

Itachi Uchiha Naruto's best friend Sasuke's older brother. He was a good-looking man and he was older than him by two years making him twenty-six. He was 5'10" with a lean build. He had dark characteristics and pale skin. His hair went down to the middle of his back in a ponytail.

If Naruto had to say he would say that Itachi's features made him look historic and past like. Naruto always thought he was good looking but wasn't sure how to take what was happening.

"Why would you want me to teach you that?" Naruto questioned.

"Well, all the people I ever dated said that I wasn't ever going to fall in love because I didn't understand it. They told me that I don't understand the concept of love and that I was never going to last in a relationship with anyone." Itachi explained.

"Okay I can see why people would say that but what I don't get is why me?" Naruto asked.

"Well because... out of everyone in my life that doesn't include my family I didn't care what happened to them aside from you. I also know that you are good in your relationships." Itachi said.

'Sasuke must have given him information.' Naruto thought to himself as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I don't know what I would be able to teach you," Naruto said honestly.

"Do you mind dating me?" Itachi asked.

"Do you even like me?" Naruto asked.

"I like you," Itachi nodded his head.

"That's not what I meant," Naruto said sighing in his hand.

"I just want you to teach me and you can leave me whenever you want or when you think I am ready to date again. I just want you to show me what a relationship is like because everyone I dated told me I don't know what a real relationship is like." Itachi said.

"Your honesty freaks me out but fine I will help you. I guess that means we're dating." Naruto said.

"Should we set ground rules?" Itachi asked.

"Like?" Naruto asked.

"No cheating, no lying," Itachi said.

"That's normal for a relationship," Naruto said sitting at his kitchen table.

Naruto knew he should have acted like he was gone but Itachi barely ever asked for favors so he thought he could handle it but he was definitely regretting agreeing to this already.

"So what type of rules do you want to have?" Itachi asked.

"Is kissing allowed? What are the boundaries you want to have with me?" Naruto explained better.

"Kissing? I never really thought about it. If we feel comfortable maybe but I don't think we should go any farther than that seeing as that would be uncomfortable for both of us." Itachi explained.

"Okay, I am okay with that. I think another rule we should have is to be completely honest that way I can give you advice about where you can improve and where are discussions can be free without judgment." Naruto said.

"I agree," Itachi said standing up. "I have to go back to work so I will see you later?" Itachi said but it was a question not a demand like most people would think.

"Yes, we can hang out and watch some movies," Naruto said.

"Would you like to eat dinner with me?" Itachi asked after Naruto agreed to hang out.

Itachi could tell that Naruto was uncomfortable but he really wanted to learn how to love someone that wasn't family and Naruto was the closest person to him outside of his family and he was oddly comfortable around the blonde. He really did care about the blonde and he felt like he could help him.

"You know what that sounds nice but it can't be an expensive restaurant," Naruto said.

"Okay, then I will pick you up after I leave work," Itachi said with a small smile.

"Okay, oh and just a note don't spend so much money on people. It's the little things in life that most people want." Naruto said with a smile that made Itachi smile back.

Itachi nodded his head and left out of Naruto's apartment. Naruto immediately called his best friend Sasuke.

(Phone Call)

"What's up Naruto?" Sasuke asked sounding tired.

"Your brother just asked me to teach him how to love," Naruto said.

The line went completely silent for at least two minutes making Naruto look at his phone to see if Sasuke hung up.

"What did you say?" Sasuke finally asked.

"I asked him why and he said that everyone likes me and that his relationships sucked because of him and plenty more," Naruto explained.

"Dude... are you going to do it?" Sasuke asked sounding shocked at least.

"I already told him I would but I don't know how long this will last before I lose my damn mind," Naruto said.

"If anyone can do it, it's for sure you two," Sasuke said sighing.

"I have no idea what you mean by that," Naruto said.

"I'm just saying the woman and men that you dated never complained about being with you. They said you treated them like the world. It is kind of scary that I am the only person you argue with. Did you ever ask why they left? They always said that they couldn't pull out any other emotions from you aside from happiness. Shit, maybe my brother can teach you something too." Sasuke asked as he crossed his legs.

"No, I just let them leave," Naruto said ignoring the rest but he did nod his head agreeing with his friend.

"Don't you think that's a problem that you let them leave so easily? You don't even fight for them. Maybe you need to be taught how to love others like my brother." Sasuke said with a chuckle.

"I don't see the point in fighting for someone who wants to leave. I know you're not talking. How is getting with Sakura?" Naruto asked making Sasuke annoyed.

"That is none of your business." Sasuke snipped.

"Yeah then just shut up about it," Naruto said.

"You're an asshole," Sasuke said.

"You're a bastard," Naruto said.

"I think we need to switch that around," Sasuke said shaking his head.

"Good point your dad is around and mine is MIA," Naruto said.

"Naruto don't talk like that," Sasuke said getting annoyed.

"Bastard, don't get sentimental on me now," Naruto said.

"It's not about sentiments," Sasuke said.

"I know, I will talk to you later I have to go and get some things for later," Naruto said.

"Wait Naruto," Sasuke said.

"What is it?" Naruto asked.

"Are you really going to be okay doing this?" Sasuke asked.

"We just have to be open with each other and honest that's how this situation will work," Naruto said. "I will talk to you later after my date with your brother," Naruto said hanging up without waiting for a response.

(Phone Call End)

"But what about you?" Sasuke asked out loud talking about Naruto.

Naruto knew the brothers since they were kids, especially after his mother died and his father disappeared. Sasuke was always there with Naruto whenever he needed him. Maybe Naruto doesn't express himself as much as he should but he doesn't like disappointing people. He just couldn't figure out why no one kept him interested. Not only that but Sasuke could read him perfectly fine without Naruto expressing himself.

The day seems to pass by quickly and Itachi was at his door waiting for Naruto to answer.

"Hey Itachi," Naruto said opening the door with a smile. "What do you have there?" Naruto asked as he saw the bags in Itachi's hand.

"Well you said you didn't want to go to an expensive restaurant so I thought of the place I know you like the most and got you some Ramen and then I brought some action and scary movies because I know those are the types of movies you and I like," Itachi said honestly as he held the bag up.

Naruto grabbed the food bag while Itachi went to the living room after taking off his suit coat and shoes.

"Are you going to be comfortable in what you're wearing?" Naruto asked.

"I should be fine," Itachi said.

"Oh yeah, Sasuke tells me how much you fall asleep in your suits when exhausted," Naruto said chuckling as he got the Ramen ready to eat for them.

"I don't sleep in my suits," Itachi grumbled but didn't make a spectacle about it.

"You do I even saw you once when I was visiting your parents' house," Naruto said with a chuckle.

"Damn it," Itachi whispered.

Naruto walked over to where Itachi was sitting as Itachi was putting in the movie they were going to watch. They both didn't say anything for a while that is until the opening credits.

"I have a question for you," Naruto said.

"What is it?" Itachi asked as he ate one of his Dango.

"Why did you choose to do this with me?" Naruto asked.

"I don't know, I think it's because I know how you are and I know that you won't be with someone because of money or their family name," Itachi said.

"Of course, I did have a family standing too," Naruto said.

"Can I ask you something too?" Itachi asked.

"What?" Naruto asked looking at him.

"Why do your relationships never last?" Itachi asked.

"Well, I guess because people say I never give any other emotion aside from happiness. I guess I don't give them what they want in the emotions department." Naruto said.

"They say I don't prioritize my life around them. Or that I don't have any emotions." Itachi said.

"They told Sasuke once that I should just date him because he is the only one that can bring out my anger. I guess I don't like disappointing people in my relationship." Naruto said.

"I think that you're a great person," Itachi said looking at Naruto as he stopped focusing on the movie and leaned on his elbow.

"Thanks," Naruto said blushing making him look away.

"What do you do when you fall in love with someone?" Itachi asked still watching Naruto.

"I don't know I never have," Naruto said as he tried to think of a time.

"You have never been in love?" Itachi asked his eyes wide with shock.

"Why is that such a surprise?" Naruto asked looking at Itachi.

"Because how could you not have fallen in love not once?" Itachi asked.

"Your one to talk," Naruto said picking up another mouthful of Ramen.

"I will have you know I have at least had people I liked," Itachi said making Naruto laugh.

The laugh made Itachi smirk because he knew he had Naruto out of the sore topic they were just in. He knew he made himself slightly uncomfortable but that was fine.

"Itachi I remember when you liked Izumi when we were in elementary and you literally put bugs in her hair," Naruto said laughing hard.

"You shouldn't remember that," Itachi said blushing bright red.

"Why? I was there," Naruto said laughing harder.

"Don't make fun of me," Itachi said shoving Naruto softly.

"Okay, okay," Naruto said holding up his hands in surrender.

"What about what Sasuke did to Sakura in high school?" Itachi asked chuckling.

"Oh my god, that was so funny. He stuck her in the locker," Naruto said laughing loudly.

The two kept bringing up funny memories of the problems they all had growing up laughing completely engrossed in each other forgetting all about the movie.

Two hours later and Itachi was getting ready to leave at the door with Naruto.

"I had fun," Itachi said at the door.

"Me too," Naruto said giving him a soft smile.

"Can we do this again?" Itachi asked.

"When?" Naruto asked.

"This weekend," Itachi said.

"What do you want to do?" Naruto asked.

"Well I do have to go to the mall do you want to come with me?" Itachi asked.

"You still don't like going to the mall by yourself?" Naruto asked.

"Hey, I just thought it would be fun to do it with you," Itachi said.

"I was playing with you, yes I will go," Naruto said.

"Good I will text you then," Itachi said.

"It might be better to text throughout the week with someone you're dating," Naruto commented.

"Okay," Itachi said nodding his head like a clueless kid.

Itachi walked down the stairs away to his car and Naruto couldn't help but shake his head. He then thought of all the times he dated and really considered why he never fell in love with those people.

The next day Naruto was outside his office because he wanted to breathe away from everyone and clear his head about what happened last night. He didn't really understand what was going on with Itachi or what even made him want to change. He was brought out of his thoughts from his phone ringing.

(Phone Call)

"Hey Sasuke," Naruto said.

"You never called me last night," Sasuke said.

"Do you want to get lunch?" Naruto asked.

"Where are you?" Sasuke asked.

"At..." Naruto started then looked around.

"You don't know where you are?" Sasuke asked.

"I was lost in thought so I wasn't paying attention. I am in our old neighborhood by the elementary school." Naruto said.

"Why? How did you get over there? We live in the city, not the town part." Sasuke said.

"I was just in a long thought and ended up here," Naruto said.

"Okay I will be there in ten minutes," Sasuke said shocked but didn't say anything else.

"Okay," Naruto said hanging up with a smile.

(End Phone Call)

Naruto sat in the swing that was across from the school swinging back and forth. He was so deep in thought that he didn't even notice when Sasuke got there.

"How did you even manage to get here?" Sasuke asked.

"I was really lost in thought," Naruto said as he looked up to his friend.

"Was it about my brother?" Sasuke asked as he started to push Naruto.

"Kind of," Naruto said.

"What about?" Sasuke asked.

"I don't really understand why he chooses me to do this with," Naruto said.

"Naruto that got you all the way to our childhood school?" Sasuke asked not really believing that was the reason.

"Well, that wasn't the only thing. I thought about the conversation we had last night." Naruto said.

"What did you guys talk about?" Sasuke asked as he stopped and looked down at Naruto.

"Well... we talked about the fact that I never fell in love with anyone," Naruto said.

"Why is that a bad thing?" Sasuke asked knowing what his friend was getting at.

"I guess it's not but it makes me kind of sad that I never really knew what love was but he wants me to teach him how to love," Naruto said.

Sasuke leaned back as he stepped on the back of the swing starting to swing it back and forth again.

"I guess I get what you're saying. Did you ever think that maybe he looks at you differently than others?" Sasuke asked.

"To be honest I never even thought of that," Naruto said.

"I think you may need help with love to my friend," Sasuke said.

"So, do you think this is a good idea being with him?" Naruto asked.

"You may be shocked by this but I actually think this may be good for both of you because he has qualities that may be good for you and you have qualities that he needs," Sasuke said.

Naruto started swinging; "you may be right," Naruto said nodding his head.

"Okay since we agree let's go get some food. Why did you leave your company anyway don't you have meetings today?" Sasuke asked as they walked to his car.

"I needed my mind clear and they are all in the afternoon so I should be fine," Naruto said.

"Of course, they are, it's a good thing you run your own company or you would have been fired," Sasuke said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, probably but I also keep the customers coming with my charms," Naruto said with a smile.

"Cocky asshole," Sasuke said as they closed the car doors.

Naruto was glad that Sasuke was there for him because he doesn't know who he would go to if he didn't have him. No one understood Naruto the way Sasuke did and he was grateful for that.
