Edit: I didn't do much editing although I said I was going to rewrite some of it...but I did add some little details to the part where they...um do that...

Greetings! I haven't updated in a while--like almost, but not quite, two weeks?--sorry and this chapter is going to be rather short…

See former chapters for disclaimer if you really want to know.

Warnings: as always, yaoi, ItaNeji, and a lemon in this chapter.

Thanks to all who reviewed, as before, Read & Review & Enjoy!

--A couple months later--

"Hey love, guess what?" Itachi held an open envelope and a check for 1,800 (A/N: The first number that was in my mind).

"Hm?" came the reply from the kitchen.

"Can you come here for a minute?"

"Sure, after I finish this last bit, then you can tell me over dinner." He came out of the kitchen bringing their dinner. "So what is it? I'm dying to know."

"Well, remember the two paintings of the date I made?"

Neji looked towards one of the paintings; it hung above the dining table. "That one?"

Itachi nodded. "Yeah. What about them though?"

"I painted two, one of you and me and another of two people to had similar features as us but, most people can't tell…I don't want what that happened to you to repeat itself because of me…I sent the other to my college which holds a contest each year. I can still enter because it's for everyone, not just the students of that college, and well, I won first. And that means I can finally get you something I've been meaning to for a while now."

"Congratulations love." Neji leaned over and kissed him full on the lips and by that, starting a make-out session. "But really, I already have everything I want…you."

"I'm still going to get it for you. No 'but's'." The rest of dinner went by with sweet murmurings to each other.

--Later that night--

Neji was showering while Itachi laid on his bed fantasizing about a certain male. "Damn, these are worse than before, grr. I want to give him more time. For him to offer first. I don't want to force him to do anything. I mean after all that he has been through, I'm not sure if he even wants it. I need it NOW, but…Argh! Who knew being in love was so hard?" Itachi ran into the other bathroom to take care of a certain problem…and to shower after he was done.

Meanwhile, in the shower, Neji was also fantasizing about the one who was also fantasizing about him, though he did not know. "I want him to take me. But I'm afraid. It's not really the pain. Afraid of what he would think—even if he is completely understanding of me. Afraid that he would flat out refuse. We've bee together for some time now, why doesn't he offer? Is it because he doesn't want me or doesn't want to hurt me? I hope it is the latter. I am happy that he won that contest though, he worked really hard on those paintings, and he even made two, partially to keep one to remember our date by…and partially to protect me. I really should give him something back, to show that I love him. For that, I'm willing to take the chance. But what would his reaction be?" After being finished with the shower, he dried himself and walked into their room wearing only boxers. His pale eyes scanned the room for the older male; he was nowhere to be found until the door opened and Itachi stood there with a towel wrapped around his waist—he had forgotten to take any clothing items with him when he went to take care of his…er...problem.

"Why? Why, in the name whoever's up there, does he have to be so HOT!?" Itachi thought, his erection hardening again. He gasped when the younger boy pulled him into a kiss. Somewhere during that kiss, the towel disappeared and so did the boxers. Then they explored each others bodies with both hands and kisses, tasting and feeling the other. Soon, Neji pushed Itachi down on the floor and began to stroke, suck, and kiss him, feeling as he could never get over Itachi's taste, his feel. They rolled over so Itachi was the one above. After claiming Neji's lips until they were red and swollen, he moved lower, sucking at his neck, and lower, Itachi's tongue kissed and nipped Neji's well formed chest, sucking on those soft, soon to be hard, nipples. Neji moaned; he had never been in so much pleasure, it was even somewhat painful. Itachi's mouth just kept traveling lower until it was right above the younger boy's arousal, then he stopped.

"Itachi, please take me…" Neji whispered huskily, panting, he had no idea where he got the courage to say that. Perhaphs it was the hot, sweaty skin to skin contact between him and his life's love.

"N-Neji? Are you sure? Are you certain? Please don't feel as if you have to if you don't want it?" "What the fuck? Why am I saying that? He just asked. Well told me that he wanted me to take him." Itachi said/thought as he played around with those long, silky coffee brown locks, his other arm around his shoulder.

"Of course I'm sure, I wouldn't have told you so otherwise." The other replied with a slight smirk. Without another word, Itachi took Neji's now almost fully erect cock in his mouth, nipping the sensitive skin every so often. Neji gasped, but then moaned. It wasn't long before he came into the other's mouth.

From the many drawers in the room, Itachi took a bottle of hand lotion—they didn't have anything else—, and applied it around Neji's entrance and his fingers. The older boy leaned to kiss the younger, who was now on the floor, as one of his digits entered him. He gave him some time to get somewhat accustomed to it before moving it and then sliding two more in. He began to move them in a scissoring motion. At first it was rather uncomfortable, painful even, but eventually Neji began to push into the he though Neji had been stretched as much as fingers would stretch him, he removed them. He then applied the lotion on his erection and around his boyfriend's entrance, "Love, I'm going to ask you again, are you sure you want this? I don't want to hurt you, not now, not ever."

"Yes, we've already come this far, we can't stop it now. And I really want you. But…I have already been used before…no longer a 'virgin'…are you sure you want me?"

"After all these months, if I minded that you were not as you call a 'virgin', do you think I would still love you as much as I do? Besides, if I fell for you, I will love all of you. After all, those weren't your fault…you never did a thing to deserve it (A/N: he knows him well enough.)"

"Thank you…Itachi." Not a moment later, Itachi engulfed Neji in a deep kiss and as their kiss deepened, Itachi entered him quickly. Neji tried to hold it back, but he still scream into the deep kiss. Eventually, pleasure replaced the pain and he relaxed.

"Ita-Itachi, move." Itachi began moving in and out of him in a slow rhythm. However, he moved faster. He then took the younger boy's erection and began pumping it in rhythm with his other movement (A/N: umm…I couldn't think of a better way to phrase it, hey, I told you I can't write 'love making scenes' well…). It wasn't soon after when both of them came, screaming each other's names.

Itachi pulled out of Neji when he finally regained his breath. They somehow made their way to the bed and slept in each other's arms. But before falling completely asleep, both murmured a form of "I love you and always will." to each other at the same time; they chuckled lightly and then they planted a chaste kiss on each other's lips before falling asleep.

That's all for now, it wasn't really as short as I expected, but still shorter than the last chapter and some others. I'll try to update sooner next time—try. Sorry for errors in grammar that most likely occurred because I had to take a break after every three lines or so. I really don't think I'm writing another one of these scenes without getting someone else to do it for me. Well anyway, until next chapter. Byebyes and wavies!
