Itachi wasn't sure if his feelings would ever be reciprocated by Naruto but he could only hope. It has only been a week since Naruto admitted to being in a relationship with him to Sasuke and Sasuke hasn't really talked to either of them. Naruto hasn't even come to lunch since then either.

When Itachi finally did find Naruto, he found him either in the library quietly eating in the corner or on the roof away from everyone. It was kind of sad in Itachi's opinion. He wanted to see the cheerful blonde that he fell in love with again but he knew if he wanted that blonde, he had to get his brother and the blonde to talk again and that was something he didn't want at the moment.

"Naruto," Itachi called out softly.

"Yeah?" Naruto said not fully awake.

"Do you want to go on a date with me tomorrow since its Friday?" Itachi asked.

"Where?" Naruto asked opening his eyes to look at Itachi.

"To the amusement park," Itachi said knowing it was going to get Naruto's competitive spirit pumping.

"That sounds like fun; we need to talk about something important anyway," Naruto said as he looked out the window.

"I am kind of scared now," Itachi said but the smile that Naruto gave him was sweet and small.

"Don't worry it's nothing like that," Naruto said grabbing Itachi's hand.

"So how do you want to meet up?" Itachi asked.

"I was thinking maybe you can spend the night at my apartment today and we can go in the morning with each other," Naruto suggested.

"I thought you didn't want me to spend the night?" Itachi asked.

"Itachi it will be easier just take the invite," Naruto said looking completely exhausted.

"Have you been sleeping?" Itachi asked coming to Naruto's side.

"Not good, since I told Sasuke that we were together," Naruto said.

"It has been really bothering you haven't it?" Itachi asked.

"Yeah," Naruto said honestly.

"Why don't you try to talk to him?" Itachi asked.

"That's what I want to talk to you about," Naruto said.

"Oh," Itachi said confused.

"I will tell you later," Naruto said standing up to go back to his class because the bell started ringing. "See you," Naruto said walking out the library running right into Sakura.

Itachi saw Naruto flinch but as he got up Naruto moved more toward his class down the hall from the library. The moment Itachi got out the library he saw Sakura talking to Naruto and he wished he could hear what was being said because Naruto didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

"If he wants to talk to me, he can," Naruto said as Itachi walked past to get to his class that was all Naruto said before Naruto walked into his class leaving Sakura by herself.

Itachi shrugged and walked away without even looking back. He wasn't going to get involved because he wasn't sure what would happen if he did get involved.

The day went by pretty fast for Itachi and he was excited because he really wanted to talk to Naruto about what he wanted to say. When he walked out of his last class and to his locker Naruto was standing there.

"Naruto," Itachi said not being able to help the smile that came on his face he was excited to see the blonde.

Itachi was shocked to see Naruto turn to see him and he was smiling.

"What's going on?" Itachi asked as he made it to his locker.

"I want to get out of here and go on a date," Naruto said biting his lip.

"Sure, that sounds like fun. Where are we going?" Itachi asked as he put his stuff in the locker and take things out into his book bag.

"We should go somewhere out of Konoha for a while," Naruto said.

"Are you running?" Itachi asked.

Itachi watched Naruto and knew what he said was true.

"Yeah I am but I know I am going to have to face it sooner or later I just rather do it after I talk to you," Naruto said.

"Okay," Itachi said grabbing his stuff quicker than closing his locker.

As they both started walking away, they heard Naruto's name being called and that only made Itachi grab his hand and run toward the exit with Naruto laughing and people shocked by what they were seeing. The two weren't really open with their relationship but they wouldn't deny it to others if people asked.

They got to Itachi's car quickly got in and sped out of the parking lot of the school. Just as Itachi sped out he saw his brother looking sad and disappointed.

"Are you avoiding him now?" Naruto asked.

"No, I just understand you want to talk to me first. So, what is it?" Itachi asked as they drove toward the mountains and woods area.

"Do you think I should tell Sasuke?" Naruto asked.

"I don't think you should," Itachi said.

"That's not what I mean," Naruto said.

"What do you mean then?" Itachi asked nervously.

"I mean I was considering telling him that I used to like him," Naruto said.

"You don't like him anymore?" Itachi asked confused.

"No, I do... at least I think I do but... I don't know." Naruto said as he looked out the window.

"I feel like you should only tell him that if you don't like him anymore. Do you want to be with him instead of me?" Itachi asked sadly.

"Itachi... you already knew I had feelings for him when we got together," Naruto said sounding sad.

"But?" Itachi asked.

"I like being around you and being in this relationship with you. It has been fun and different," Naruto said with a smile that shocked Itachi.

"And?" Itachi said wanting him to continue.

"I may not like you in the same way as you like me but I still want this relationship so no I don't want to be with Sasuke," Naruto answered.

Itachi felt the whole world go by him as he heard those words.

"I'm glad because if you were about to break up with me because of Sasuke there was going to be a problem," Itachi said making Naruto laugh. "That's not funny asshole," Itachi stated.

"I wouldn't do that to you," Naruto said grabbing his hand.

"Good," Itachi said softly making him speed up a little.

The rest of the ride was quiet but it was a comfortable quiet and Naruto seemed to fall asleep which actually shocked Itachi because the blonde said he was having problems falling asleep and that made him happy because that meant Naruto felt comfortable around him. But as Itachi saw Naruto asleep that also made him tired of making him fall asleep.

When Itachi finally woke up he saw Naruto outside his car staring at the sky which was dark.

"Hey, why didn't you wake me up?" Itachi asked as he got out his car.

"Well because I just woke up right now too," Naruto said.

Itachi moved toward Naruto grabbing his hand and leaning against his car. Itachi saw the way Naruto bit his lip and was curious about what Naruto was thinking.

"Can I try something?" Naruto asked softly.

Itachi was shaken when he heard the soft question and his heart was pounding from the environment already.

"Yes," Itachi said not even asking what Naruto was talking about.

Itachi didn't even see Naruto with how quickly Naruto moved until he felt soft lips on his in one of the softest kisses he has ever had with Naruto. As a matter of fact, he never had a gentle kiss with Naruto at least not like this one. They were always rough and sexual full of sexual frustrations and stress but this one was tender and the hand on his cheek was caressing him so gently that he could hear his heart in his ears.

As Naruto pulled away from Itachi's face Itachi couldn't believe the bright blush on Naruto's face. Naruto turned away from him quickly shaking Itachi out of his shock and making him pull Naruto back to him kissing him gently again. The two pulled away and they couldn't get their beating hearts to calm down.

"What did you want to try?" Itachi whispered.

"I wanted to know if... it was just about sex with us because I didn't think I could do it anymore to you if it was," Naruto said.

"You said if it was does that mean it's not?" Itachi asked his heart beating fast.

"That means it's not," Naruto said biting his lip and turning his head quickly away.

Itachi wasn't sure if that meant Naruto liked him too or not but it made him happy to hear those words and he couldn't contain it making him pull Naruto into a big hug.

"Alright, you big lug let's get back to my apartment and watch some movies before my mom starts to get worried and starts calling your mom," Naruto said pushing Itachi off him.

Itachi noticed the blush and he was happy to know that he actually had a chance with Naruto instead of it just being about sex like in the beginning. The ride home was much quieter than the ride there but it didn't bother either of them because they got everything off their chest already.

"I am so going to enjoy going to the amusement park tomorrow," Naruto said as they got out the car.

"Definitely we should play all the games and see who wins more," Itachi said knowing he was starting Naruto's competitive streak.

"Oh, what are we going to bet on?" Naruto asked excited with a big smile on his face as he walked up the stairs to his apartment.

"Who has to pay for the next date?" Itachi asked.

"Oh no I got an idea," Naruto said smirking hard and making Itachi nervous which made Naruto laugh out loud. "Don't worry so much," Naruto said opening the door.

"That is worrisome as you say it," Itachi said making Naruto laugh more.

As they walked in the apartment they continued to laugh and talk to each other.

"Hey mom," Naruto said heading to his room as she continued to watch her show.

"Good evening Kushina," Itachi said.

"Good evening you two, where were you two?" Kushina asked turning around.

"We went to the woods area on the mountain to check out the leaf changing," Naruto said honestly.

"That seems like a sweet date," Kushina said with a smile shocking Itachi.

"How? How did you know?" Itachi questioned.

"She's my mom she finds out everything," Naruto said.

"And you're here so often that it can't be mistaken for anything else," Kushina said.

"It was an outing mom but it wasn't a date," Naruto said.

"I thought you said it was," Itachi said looking at Naruto.

"I thought you didn't want it to be a date," Naruto said.

"What makes you think that?" Itachi asked.

"Because you never agreed you just questioned why I wanted to leave," Naruto said.

"I first said sure that means yes Naruto," Itachi said.

"Okay I'm sorry yes mom we were on a date," Naruto said making Kushina and Itachi laugh.

"I haven't seen you this lively in a while it makes me happy. Speaking of which Sasuke is waiting for you in your bedroom." Kushina said making Naruto want to run away.

Itachi saw the look on Naruto's face and knew Naruto was going to flee so he grabbed his hand and dragged him toward his room.

"Talk to him," Itachi said softly so no one else could hear him. "Tell him whatever you want just know that you aren't getting out of this relationship from whatever he says back to you," Itachi said making Naruto smile.

It wasn't the normal happy smile or even the small smirk that he shows often it was a sad smile. Itachi didn't like it which made him kiss him and push him gently toward the door.

"I will be out here talking to your mother," Itachi said.

"What are you still doing out here?" Kushina asked as Itachi walked up to her.

"I don't know what to do," Itachi said honestly sitting next to her.

Itachi didn't get to see the sad face Kushina made like she understood everything he was talking about.

"Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help I have been married for thirty-three years." Kushina said.

"It's hard because I really like Naruto but I don't... I feel like we get closer and then there are moments where he shuts me out. I don't know how to handle that and sometimes it makes me uneasy about it. I just want him to like me the same way I like him." Itachi expressed.

"I think Naruto likes you a lot more than you know. I also think he likes you more than even he knows." Kushina said making Itachi look up. "Sometimes people think they know what they want until that particular thing is... showed for what it really is and that's not always a good thing just have faith in him because if he didn't like you he wouldn't be with you," Kushina said.

"Thank you," Itachi said giving her a soft smile. "That made me feels better at least," Itachi said.

"I'm here to help any way I can," Kushina said with a sweet smile.

Sasuke walked out of the room without saying anything to anyone or even looking toward Kushina and Itachi walking right out the front door.

"I think you should go in there now," Kushina said. "I wish you good luck," Kushina said pushing Itachi up.

Itachi was grateful but he wasn't sure what he was going to see when he went into the room and he was actually quite scared about it. A part of him wanted to follow after his brother but he didn't and just walked to the bedroom door. He knocked on the door getting a light come in.

When he walked into the room it looked like a tornado went through it and he wasn't sure what the hell happened in there and was kind of scared to ask.

"What happened?" Itachi asked before he could even stop himself.

Naruto sighed loudly not even hiding it as he leaned back on his bed. Itachi shut the door quickly and realized only the desk lamp was on but it was on the floor.

"We fought," Naruto said not even moving.

That sentence alone made Itachi turn on the light. Naruto sat up and Itachi freaked out.

"What the fuck happened?" Itachi asked running into Naruto's bathroom then back to Naruto.

"He looks worse I promise," Naruto lied with a laugh.

"You don't have to lie to me," Itachi said saddened.

Itachi started cleaning out the wounds. Naruto had a mark that looked like a cut around his neck area, a busted lip, and a cut on his chin. His nose was bleeding when Itachi first came in that's why Itachi freaked out the way he did.

"You know I love you and I feel like I loved you for a long time and seeing you this way hurts my heart a lot and it makes me worried about you. I just want you to be okay and if you need to cry just do it and I will be here with you." Itachi said shocking Naruto because of the confession as Itachi continued to clean the wounds

Itachi didn't even realize he confessed his real feelings until he looked up at Naruto's face seeing a blush across his cheeks which made him blush a bright red. This was more than what he said last time this was stating how long he has actually had feelings for Naruto.

"Um... how long have you loved me?" Naruto asked his heart beating faster.

"Can we ignore what I just said?" Itachi asked blush covering his whole face.

"Fine but don't think I will forget what you just said," Naruto said.

Itachi was blushing and from the corner of his eye, he could see that Naruto was too. The moment he was about to speak again he saw the tears falling and he realized how composed Naruto has been holding together until this very moment and he felt very sad about it. He couldn't do anything about Naruto's pain aside from just being there for him. When Naruto finally settled down Itachi and him chose a movie and watched it falling asleep together but Itachi couldn't help but feel like something is wrong with what he was trying to do now and he planned on solving it for Naruto. He just didn't know how or when he was going to be able to or if he will have the courage to do it when the time came.

Reviews...

Kushina and Itachi had a heart to heart. Naruto's feelings are very open with his parents on how he feels.
