Enjoy the chapter.

It was two months since Itachi began his relationship with Naruto and he was excited to go on this ski trip with him and his friends. He didn't care to hang out with all Naruto and Sasuke's friends but he was going to make the best on hanging out with Naruto.

"Itachi are you sure you want to go with us without any of your own friends?" Sasuke asked sitting in his room.

"I wouldn't hang out with any of them anyway so no point in that," Itachi said.

"Is this the first time you're going to be alone with him again since last month?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah," Itachi said nervously.

The first two months neither of them made the move to do anything sexual with each other because they wanted to get Naruto's feelings straightened out first. Then after that came him having to study properly for his college exams, he would have to take to get in. So, the two have been really busy sorting through life. They spent time together but it was never alone. It was always with someone.

"You know he knows how to ski really well right?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah he did say something about trying to teach me. But I am good I am a natural athlete so I don't need help." Itachi said.

"Okay well don't blame me if I don't catch you when you fall," Naruto said at the door with a smirk on his face.

"I will prove you wrong," Itachi said offended.

"I hope so," Naruto said with a smile. "Sasuke Sakura is downstairs for you," Naruto said gesturing downstairs with his head.

"Thanks," Sasuke said and ran out of the room.

Naruto walked into the room and sat down on Itachi's bed.

"I thought you didn't want to be alone with me," Itachi teased.

"Are you that sexually pressed?" Naruto teased making Itachi blush.

"No," Itachi snapped a little but had a smile on his face as he did.

"Oh yeah I got something for you," Naruto said going to his bag by the door.

Itachi just watched as Naruto moved, he was really curious about what he got him. Naruto got him random presents very often. A lot of the time it was Dango or some other type of sweets for when he was studying. One time, Naruto gave him flowers he set them on his bed stand and when he got home, he couldn't help but blush from the sight of them.

Itachi noticed that Naruto was really giving him a chance. Itachi even noticed that Naruto stopped those gazes he used to give Sasuke but the two never talked about how he felt. Whatever Naruto had for him he pulled it out slowly.

"I got this for you because I saw it and it, kind matched mine," Naruto said pulling out a crow key chain and Itachi couldn't help the soft smile that came on his face.

"Why a crow?" Itachi asked.

"Because you said those were your favorite birds because of their intelligence," Naruto said with a smile that said he remembered their weird conversation about birds. "And to be honest crows always remind me of you," Naruto said softly blushing.

"You remembered," Itachi said slowly as he took it out of Naruto's hand.

"Of course, I did," Naruto said with a blush appearing on his face making him turn his head.

Itachi couldn't help the soft smile that appeared on his face and just as he was about to pull Naruto to him then they got called from downstairs.

"ITACHI! NARUTO COME ON!" Sasuke screamed.

He didn't know his brother could scream that loud but he did. He actually felt like smacking his brother at the moment for interrupting them.

'Damn it he ruined the moment,' Itachi thought to himself but the smile on Naruto's face made him question if the moment was ruined at all but postponed.

"Let's get going before Sasuke goes crazy," Naruto said.

"Yes let's," Itachi said following him out the door.

Itachi watched as Naruto moved out the door. He was excited to be around Naruto for forty-eight hours uninterrupted. He would pay all of Naruto and Sasuke's friends to leave them alone for the whole two days and nights but he knew they wouldn't even if he did do that. Sasuke would but that's about it. The rest were stuck on hovering Naruto especially because he was avoiding them for so long that they grew lonely and attached without him. It was weird and Itachi didn't like it but he accepted it because he knew and understood how they felt about being apart from the lively blonde.

It took them four hours to get to Snow Country but they all were having fun driving together.

"So, who is rooming with who?" Kiba asked.

"I am with Sakura," Sasuke said.

"I am with Itachi and that's all that matters to me," Naruto said carrying his bag grabbing a key from Kiba.

Itachi was shocked and he couldn't help but blush from everyone staring at him. He took his key and followed closely behind Naruto while everyone else sorted out the room situation.

"This room has two beds," Itachi said.

"It doesn't matter," Naruto said.

Before Itachi could say anything, else someone knocked on the door.

"Kiba what's up?" Naruto said.

"This room goes to Temari, Shikamaru, and Gaara," Kiba said handing them the keys to their room.

Itachi didn't know it at the time but Naruto had planned this trip out for the two of them.

"Thanks, Kib," Naruto said grabbing the keys and his bag again and gesturing for Itachi to follow.

When they got to their room Itachi was shocked to see that it was one bed and it was isolated from everyone else. The room was set up nicely and it was for a couple so Itachi couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face. It also had a porch with a balcony that led to a slope they could go down.

"So what are we going to do first?" Naruto asked looking at Itachi.

"Let's ski or snowboard," Itachi said as he just set his luggage down.

"Okay, do you know how to do either of them?" Naruto teased.

"No but I'm a quick learner," Itachi said with a huff turning his head away.

"Let's get going then," Naruto said pulling Itachi with him.

Itachi was shocked as they walked out of the room and no one stopped to talk to them or hang out with Naruto. No one even was paying attention to them they were all doing they're own thing. Itachi was also shocked to see some of his friends were there at the ski lodge.

"Itachi what's up?" Kisame said nodding to Naruto.

Kisame knew not to stay by the two long because he knew what was going between the other two but Itachi's other friends didn't know what was going on.

"I'm about to learn how to ski," Itachi said looking toward Naruto who remained indifferent as he patiently waited still holding Itachi's hand.

Itachi noticed that despite his friends being there Naruto never let go of his hand and that warmed his heart a lot.

"I got to go see you later," Itachi said pulling Naruto out of the lodge.

Before Itachi was completely gone he heard Deidara ask Kisame what was going on with him and Naruto. Kisame just laughed and said that it was obvious which confused Deidara. That was all he heard before he was out of the door with Naruto.

"You can always hang out with them sometime this weekend," Naruto said.

"Are you going to be with me?" Itachi asked.

"If you want me to be," Naruto said with a smile.

"Then maybe someday later," Itachi said but didn't care to hang out with his friends here.

Naruto grabbed the snowboard while Itachi grabbed some skis.

"Are you sure you don't want my help?" Naruto asked with a small smile on his face as he watched Itachi.

"Yes, I'm sure," Itachi said with a stubborn huff.

"Itachi you helped me with my homework and a bunch of other stuff no need to be shy or stubborn," Naruto said.

"I got this I will show you," Itachi said but fell in the snow immediately afterward.

"Let's go," Naruto said taking Itachi to a small hill for beginners.

Itachi spotted the trainer and immediately didn't want to be there.

"Hi Naruto is this the person you were telling me about who might need to learn how to ski?" the woman instructor asked.

She looked about there age and from the looks of it, she liked Naruto.

'How many times has Naruto came here?' Itachi thought to himself.

"Yeah this is Itachi he needs to be here," Naruto said leading Itachi to a clear spot.

"I don't want to be here," Itachi whispered.

"You either take her help or mine," Naruto whispered back into Itachi's ear.

Itachi blushed but was resolute that he didn't want to take Naruto's help.

"Fine I will stay here," Itachi snapped a little.

"Stubborn as usual," Naruto said with a smirk.

"Naruto are you riding a snowboard today?" the girl asked.

"Obviously," Naruto said bluntly.

"Don't be mean I know your gay don't worry I won't hit on you anymore especially since Sasuke said you're in a relationship," the girl said.

"Yeah and he's right here being stubborn," Naruto said touching Itachi's face with his gloved hands.

"Oh wow he's a beautiful catch how are you so lucky?" the girl said.

"Don't hit on him," Naruto said glaring at the girl.

Itachi couldn't believe his ears Naruto admitted to being in a relationship with him. He even got jealous. Itachi felt like his world could stop right there.

"Do you mind helping the kids who can't ride the snowboard over there while I help him?" the girl asked.

"Sure," Naruto said then looked back at Itachi. "I will be over there when your ready," Naruto said.

"Thanks Naruto I will tell the chef to give you two complement dishes tonight," the girl said as Naruto walked away toward the other side where kids were practicing snowboarding.

Itachi was kind of annoyed at himself for being so stubborn but he just didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Naruto but if he really thought about it, he already has many times.

Itachi tried for an hour before he wanted Naruto to come back so he stopped and walked toward where Naruto was and he saw something that only made him smile.

"Look, Mr. Naruto is awesome," a kid said with a big smile as Naruto showed them how to go down the hill safely.

"Itachi what are you doing here?" Naruto asked as he walked up the hill again.

"I was bored without you," Itachi said.

"Did you learn?" Naruto asked with a knowing smile.

"Yes," Itachi said still stubborn.

"Okay let's go down a hill together," Naruto said lifting his snowboard in his other hand.

"Big brother Naruto are you leaving?" a kid asked.

"Yeah sorry I have some private lessons," Naruto said.

"Aw..." all the kids said.

"Hey older brother Naruto is really cool right?" the little kid asked Itachi making Itachi smile softly.

"Yeah he really is," Itachi said.

The little boy ran away with a smile on his face. Itachi wasn't sure how many times within the years did Naruto come here but it seems it was multiple times with his brother, to say the least.

"You ready?" Naruto asked as he had a set of skis now.

"Where did..." Itachi started but then seen the snowboard Naruto just had with the woman who was training him.

"I thought it would be easier than going all the way back. Are you ready to show me what you learned?" Naruto asked with a knowing smile on his face that annoyed Itachi.

"Let's get going then," Itachi snapped and started on his way.

(An hour later)

Naruto wouldn't stop laughing as they went into the lodge where they were staying and Itachi was beyond annoyed by his lover that he just wanted to hurt him.

"Is it enough by now?" Itachi growled out as they shook off at the door.

"I'm sorry but you said you were fine and flipped down the hill that was way too funny after I got out of being worried you broke something," Naruto said still chuckling making Itachi bright red.

"Stop being a showoff," Itachi said blushing and he was getting even more upset.

"Where have you two been? We didn't see you at the slopes," Sasuke asked as he walked up to them with Sakura, Kiba, and Hinata.

"Tell him," Naruto said wiping at his eyes.

Itachi looked like he was ready to snap but he calmed himself down and looked at his brother after nudging Naruto.

"We were at the practice slopes," Naruto said calmer now.

"Did you get better Itachi?" Sasuke asked excited to know.

Itachi blushed at the question which also made Naruto laugh out loud again.

"No he didn't," Naruto said laughing shaking his head as he got hit again.

"Shut up Naruto," Itachi fussed stepping on Naruto's boot then walked away.

Itachi didn't know what they talked about when he walked away because he was too irritated by the teasing that he didn't even turn back to see them. He went right back to his room with Naruto to take a warm shower and change clothes, so he could go and find his friends to go eat with them.

Itachi was just taking off his clothes when Naruto walked into their room with a smile on his face. Itachi continued to take his clothes off as he let Naruto enjoy the show. They haven't had any sexual contact with each other since they started dating aside from kisses and even that was limited because they spent less time together. They were always busy and Naruto avoided being alone with him.

"What are you doing?" Naruto asked his head tilting to the side.

"I'm going to take a shower because I want to take the tension out of my body seeing as I'm probably bruised since that happened earlier," Itachi said just as he took off his shirt.

"Do you need any help in there?" Naruto asked blatantly.

"I don't know if I should let you in there with me considering you're the reason I'm feeling this way now, to begin with," Itachi said as he turned around to see Naruto taking off his coat.

"Really? I'm at fault I didn't realize," Naruto said with a smile.

Just as Itachi was about to say something Naruto took off his shirt and shut him up completely.

"I could have sworn someone said they could ski by themselves but since I'm to blame maybe I should take responsibility for the backlash of that person's lie," Naruto said and Itachi couldn't help but take a nervous breath as Naruto walked toward him.

Itachi just let Naruto get closer to him and he let him pull him into the bathroom.

"You should take responsibility you show off," Itachi mumbled as Naruto kissed at his neck.

Naruto hummed his response as he unbuckled Itachi's pants after he did his own. Itachi was shocked that Naruto was the one initiating what they were doing because it was usually him doing it but he wasn't going to kick up a fuss about what was happening.

"Yes, it was completely your fault," Itachi mumbled as his hands went into Naruto's hair getting another hum from Naruto.

"Do you want to keep talking or should I give you a massage?" Naruto asked with lust in his eyes which shocked Itachi but he was liking this too much to continue talking so he gave Naruto a nod that he wanted that massage.

Itachi felt Naruto go up and down his back with his hands as he put something on his hands to make his skin relax even more than it was before. Itachi couldn't explain why he was so nervous when they had sex so many times in their time together but this was way more intimate than ever before.

"Your not tense anymore," Naruto said in a soft tone.

"Naruto if you keep going like this I will want more," Itachi said in a harsh voice.

"Who said we couldn't?" Naruto whispered in his ear.

That made Itachi turn around quickly and kiss Naruto harshly. There was a lot of passion that Itachi didn't expect but he welcomed it happily. He wanted all that passion focused on him, to begin with, and now that it was he wasn't going to let it go by any means.

"Can I?" Itachi asked as they slid out of their pants and got into the shower pushing each other along the way.

"Yes, now shut up with so much talking," Naruto said which shocked Itachi considering who was saying it to him.

Before Itachi could say anything, the water hit his face from Naruto turning it on and Itachi got closer to Naruto kissing him again.

"Do it," Naruto whispered.

Itachi smiled and went forward, even more, he knew what Naruto meant and he was happy to do what was asked of him especially because he wanted it just as much. It only took him a while to make Naruto moan out against him.

"Ready," Naruto mumbled against Itachi after a while.

Itachi didn't hesitate to put himself inside Naruto when he was told to and he had to stop himself from biting the blonde when he went in.

"It's been a while so start slow," Naruto groaned out.

"Do you remember our first time?" Itachi asked.

"How can I forget?" Naruto groaned because he knew what was to come as he felt a smirk form on the Uchiha who was behind him kissing his back.

Itachi started to move as he kissed the back of Naruto's neck sucking and biting everywhere, he could. This was something he waited for since they decided to stop doing it for the time, they were figuring out Naruto's feelings. He was shocked that Naruto was the one who initiated but he was never going to reject it if it was given to him.

The both of them didn't really last long though considering how pent up they were so it ended as quickly as it started with them both leaning down and sitting on the bathtub floor.

"Stupid Itachi takes it out," Naruto complained making Itachi chuckle.

"But I like being inside you," Itachi said as he cuddled into Naruto's hair and neck from behind.

"Stop it and take it out," Naruto said blushing brightly that Itachi could see it on the back of his neck.

"Are you being shy now Naruto?" Itachi asked licking Naruto's neck.

Naruto turned his head as much as he could giving Itachi a glare that made Itachi chuckle and kiss Naruto's nose. He let go of Naruto so Naruto could pull away but that was a bad decision because he was still inside of Naruto making him groan. Naruto pulled out quickly before Itachi could move to turn his butt away from him.

"Come on Naruto take a bath with me," Itachi said pulling Naruto toward him.

Itachi was shocked when Naruto let him pull him and let him fill the tub up.

"Speaking of which how well do you remember our first time?" Itachi asked.

"Our first time sucked Itachi. Do you remember that I had a limp for a week? You also left bruises because you didn't know what you were doing," Naruto said getting a laugh out of Itachi.

"I remember distinctly of you telling me that you wanted it harder and that you liked to be bit," Itachi said biting the back of Naruto's neck to prove his point.

"Stop your biting," Naruto groaned out.

"Naruto our first time was pretty reckless and a bit scary," Itachi said.

"We were both virgins so of course, it was," Naruto said.

"Yeah I think I had to persuade you to let me do it again," Itachi said making Naruto laugh.

"Yeah I remember the second time was more gentle I didn't have someone intent on making me scream that time," Naruto said making Itachi blush now.

"I like hearing you scream my name Naruto," Itachi said softly against Naruto's neck as he kissed it.

"I know you do," Naruto said.

"Can we?" Itachi asked hoping for another round.

"Maybe later, we're supposed to be hanging out tonight with my friends. Maybe we could invite your friends too," Naruto said.

"They will want to drink," Itachi said.

"Hell I do too," Naruto said with a smile.

"Well then maybe I can let them know we can all hang out," Itachi said as he kissed Naruto on the cheek.

Itachi couldn't believe he was in the tub with the person he has grown to love so deeply. He just needed to know Naruto feels the same way about him. If he could get Naruto drunk like that one time maybe he could get some honest answers from the blonde.

Itachi was sure it was a good idea when he and Naruto talked about it until they had to actually deal with the problem that came with hanging out with all their friends. Especially when they were drunk. Itachi regretted his decision.

"Naruto let's get going," Itachi said as he helped the blonde up.

Itachi was shocked when Naruto let him pick him up as he wrapped his arms around him. Itachi was glad that he stayed sober.

"Itachi I want to have sex," Naruto mumbled into Itachi's neck making the Uchiha blush brightly as Kisame looked at him with a knowing look.

"Shut it," Itachi mumbled to Kisame.

"You shut it," Naruto said back to him as they walked out making Kisame laugh out loud.

When they got into the room Naruto pushed Itachi onto the bed shocking the other.

"I told you I want to have sex," Naruto said as he took off his shirt.

"Okay Naruto let me at least take my clothes off," Itachi said shocked by the aggressive behavior especially because this isn't how Naruto normally is.

"No," Naruto said pushing Itachi back down and started to unbutton his pants.

Itachi didn't even realize when he was undressed until he was completely undressed with his shirt just halfway off his shoulders holding his arms above his head. Naruto was kissing down Itachi's abdomen and other areas he knew the Uchiha was sensitive about.

"Naruto let me move my arms," Itachi growled out getting even more heated by the sexual tension in the room.

He wanted to do so much more but at the moment he couldn't get his shirt off his arms. He just wanted to touch the other and do many other things to him but the blonde wouldn't let him out.

"I have so much to tell you," Naruto said then kissed Itachi taking the shirt off the older boy's arms.

Itachi turned them around but he was glad to be facing Naruto because he didn't want to do it from the back the way they usually do he wanted it this way. Naruto always refused to look at Itachi when they did it but this time he didn't refuse or push him away.

"What do you want to tell me?" Itachi asked as he pushed inside Naruto while he could.

He was glad that he prepared Naruto so well earlier or this wouldn't be possible now.

"I love you," Naruto said making Itachi freeze completely.

"What?" Itachi said shocked.

"I said I love you Itachi," Naruto said.

Itachi didn't say anything he just pushed inside Naruto and started thrusting uncontrollably.

"Ita are you crying?" Naruto asked with a soft whisper against the Uchiha's neck as he gasped and moaned out but he gently brought Itachi's head up. "I really do love you Itachi Uchiha," Naruto said as he looked up at the older boy who was crying.

Itachi kissed Naruto hard and continued thrusting as the other moaned out his name. Itachi couldn't help but bite down on Naruto's collar bone and everything else making marks wherever he could. Itachi just couldn't get those words out of his head once Naruto said them.

'Naruto loves me,' Itachi thought as he came inside Naruto just as Naruto was coming.

That night was the first night that Itachi slept without a problem and with ease. He had no qualms at all he was at peace.

In the morning he was shocked to Naruto staring at him rubbing his head.

"Morning," Naruto mumbled sounding groggy.

"Morning, how are you feeling?" Itachi asked softly.

"Like I have been fucked," Naruto said giving Itachi a mental image of what they did last night.

"Well, you were," Itachi said.

"Crude Itachi," Naruto said as he stared at Itachi still like he was thinking about something rather important.

As Itachi was about to get up he was pulled back down.

"You know I wasn't kidding when I said I love you to you last night right? I do love you," Naruto said looking directly at Itachi.

"I love you too Naruto," Itachi said tears were forming again.

"Don't cry," Naruto said softly pulling Itachi into an embrace.

"You don't know how long I wanted to hear that from you," Itachi said.

"Love is difficult," Naruto said.

"Yeah especially with you," Itachi said.

The two were right about that love is difficult and if it wasn't would it really be worth it? These two wouldn't know if they didn't do the one thing that secured their relationship give it a leap of faith.

Reviews...

Naruto and Itachi their sex life was kind of symbolic. Naruto never faced Itachi when they had sex because he always felt guilty for it but now he did because he knew he loved the other back so he knew he didn't have to feel guilty anymore. Itachi I also felt had the right response for when Naruto told him how he felt.

How did everyone like it? What is everyone's favorite part?
