Chapter 8: Drawing lines

OC 17 years old, Itachi 22 years old

We were already official dating for 10 months and I knew now that I wanted to never end this...more like to be always with him and I knew he felt the same. At this time, we were in a phase where we began to tell each other what we don´t like on the other.

Yes, even Itachi Uchiha wasn´t perfect and truth be told I don´t want him to be, but there was one thing that I need him to stop or I would go insane.

He wasn´t caring for his own health, from the few missions he got he always came back with severe injuries and only went to the hospital when I pleaded him to do it.

On the other side he told me that he doesn´t like my insecurity with a lot of things like my own body and...worth.

We both were working on it, but something like that doesn´t change overnight, but I was having a hard time.

I sat at my kitchen table after lunch and let out a heavy sight.

´Maybe they are right...´

´Stop that they are only jealous´

´I know, but it begins to get out of hand´

´Then finally do something´

´But how?´

´...I don´t know...talk to them?´

I sighted again and put my head in my hands and massaged it a bit to relive the upcoming headache.

"What makes you sight so heavy?" A voice behind me asked and startled me.

"Nothing, I´m just a bit tried? But you are back awfully early" I smiled at him and scanned his body for any wounds, but didn´t found one.

"It wasn´t as difficult than it was made us to believe and also I had a question that I wanted to ask you as soon as possible."

I couldn´t deny the little jump my heart made and that my thought jumped to him proposing to me. To hide the shaking of my hands I ran them through my hair.

"Sure ask me whatever you want."

"Would you-"

´Oh my god he is really asking me that question, oh my god oh my god-´

´Listen or you will miss the moment´

"-move together with me?" I nearly openly deflated at that expecting a different question, but I managed to still smile at him.

"Yes I would like that" and I really did, this was one more step towards the other question.

"I knew it so I will help you packing, I found the perfect house for us and did buy it as soon as I was back, you will love it" He picked me up from my chair into a hug. It was a rare sight to see him so exited so I drank in the sight of his stress free smile that radiant pure happiness and made him look younger because the stress lines seemed to disappear. Seeing him like that let my heart swell up with warmth and the yearning feeling to see him more often like that...so free and happy, I would do anything for that.

"Then we better get to work right?" I mumbled in his chest with a wide smile gracing my lips.

He pulled away and made his way over in my kitchen with a little spring in his step and a storing scroll in one hand.

"You better go and contact your landlord"

"I will do that right away" I still grinned like mad and took my keys and made my way a few floors up to my landlord. That I thought was a good thing in this world, you don´t need a contract or any period of notice, for little flats you just ask and everything is alright.

The landlord wasn´t happy to lose one of his favourite and dependable renter, but he agreed and wished us good luck.

Coming back into my flat nearly everything was gone.

"I left out your room, I know you don´t like anyone going through your things without permission" he smiled at me, leaning on the wall beside my bedroom and held out one storage scroll. Really he was perfect coming to be a gentleman. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and went inside to store first things away he shouldn´t see yet, like the sexy lingerie that I bought for later occasions.

Then I went into the bathroom and did the same thing there, while Itachi cleared my bedroom.

Being done I sat down on the floor of the living room and waited for him to finish his work.

"I didn´t thought it survived..." I heard him and looked up to him holding the black box he once gave me on Christmas.

"It did, something that couldn´t been said about the necklace" The loss of that hit me really hard at that time. He stared for a moment at the box but then sealed it also away and turned to me.

He pulled me up from my sitting position from the floor, out of the door, looked it and then hurried away giving the landlord the keys. Strong arms were laid around me from behind and his warm breath hit my neck.

"There will be no escape anymore, Yuu" was said sinfully into my ear, getting me to blush in fifty shades of red.

´Dear that were some pretty dirty pictures there´

´Can´t blame me when your boyfriend whispers something like that into your ear´

´So true´

"Who said that I want to leave" I grinned and leaned back into him.

A soft chuckle was heard until I felt the familiar pull of the teleport jutsu.

"Open slowly your eyes" again his words caress my ear and I did as he said, only to break into tears.

It was a little house in the usual traditional style with a big garden around it, it was what I always wanted. Not too big and with a feeling of "being home".

"It is perfect" I turned around in his arms and kissed him straight on the lips not caring that this would be our real first kiss beside that one on new year. The first second he was still, surprised to no end, but then he responds and ignite a fire between us, and boy did I wanted to jump him at that moment. He must have felt the same and slowly ended the kiss.

"Want to go inside?" I looked at him for a second and then grinned like mad and ran up to the door with the keys from his back pocket of his pants and opened it. I was met with a clean entrance and hallway. A staircase to the right went up into the first floor. I went down the hallway to the big door on its end, shoving them open I stood in a room that took the full length of the house with a full wall out of door that led out to porch and the garden. I knew what I would do in my free time, gardening and turn this plain garden into one with beautiful flowers. I continued into the kitchen one that was bigger than my old one in the flat.

´Enough space to make some things I couldn´t before like big tarts, or a whole 4 menu dinner´

The kitchen was connected to the big room, but also had a door back to the hallway a cross from it was one door leading into a little storage room and behind the second door beside it was a simple bathroom with a toilet, sink and a shower. More wasn´t in the ground floor so I went upside, aware that Itachi silently followed behind me.

On the first floor were only three doors behind the two to my right were rooms in the perfect size for bedrooms and the one to my left...was my perfect bathroom, big, while tiles, with everything that a bathroom needed and a big wonderful bathtub beside a shower both big enough for two.

´Ah the possibilities´

I coughed to play over the blush and the rising heat.

"It is perfect Itachi, so which room will be yours?" He gave me an amused look and I tried to play the obvious one. He moved and caged me against a wall. His lips slowly descended on my neck and caressed upwards to my ear.

"How about sharing, we already did it before so I didn´t thought it would be a problem."

Oh that good damm warm blush over my cheeks gave me away.

He chuckled and then kissed my neck.

"Then we only need one bed and I know where to get one for us two, but first we could unpack our things and then buy what we need." I smiled at him, like always he was already having a plan.

Normally such a thing like moving together isn´t easy or fast done, but with Itachi we were in the early afternoon ready to go and buy some additional furniture and even that was quick, maybe because we have a similar taste.

I mused at that when the carpenter showed us his beds.

"Any you like?" I blinked at him for a moment and then turned my eyes to the beds before me. Mustering them I found that I didn´t like any of them, one wasn´t big enough another too big and on some I didn´t like decoration.

"Maybe we should just buy the mattress and ask Tenzo to make us one to our liking." I thought out loud.

"You are right, we would like to buy only a mattress, one not too hard."

"I only have that one over there that is a bit softer than the others." The carpenter pointed at a bed in the back and I went straight for it. There were two in one king sized bed and I let myself fall backwards on the right mattress and laid there for a moment with closed eyes.

"We take them" Itachi said looking over to me in my half lidden eyes, I was tiered and really just wanted to sleep right now.

Itachi stored them in a scroll again after he some how lured me out of the bed.

"I asked Tenzo to come to our house, he will be already waiting for us there"

My only answer to that was a big yawn and he laughed a bit at that and hugged me to his side giving me the chance to lay my head against his shoulder and walk comfortably with him.

I must have fallen asleep because the next moment I opened my eyes I leaned on the closet in our room and looked at the perfect bed, ready to sleep in it.

It was out of cherry wood, which colour I just loved so much, a simple model with fine little details like the patterns of flowers shattered around it, simple but lovely, just how I like it. The first moment I thought flowers would be too girly for him until I got a better look in the half darkness, the only light coming from the hallway where I heard Itachi talking with Tenzo. I traced the pattern and saw now it were roses, roses with thorns and ravens.

´Symbolic much´

´Yes and just like him´

´He beds you on roses and the ravens are him...cliché much but...you love it´

´I do´

I pulled myself up and slowly moved over to our closet to change into a pyjama dress and snuggled under the covers. I was nearly in dreamland when I felt the mattress shifting and the rustling of clothes. Somehow I manage to open one of my eyes and was met with onyx eyes looking back at me.

"Sleep it was a long day" he murmured, his arms snaked around me pulling me into his chest.

Yes, Itachi Uchiha likes to cuddle, but who wouldn´t with such a childhood mostly free of any sort of caring body contact like hugs and such.

I sighted, happy to have his warmth around me lulling me back to sleep.

Yawing I stretched myself a bit and snuggled back into the warm bed, not ready to meet the day yet.

My pillow moved and I got a closer look at, what or better who was sharing his warmth with me. In less a second I was wide awake with the memories from yesterday flooding back into my brain, but that wasn´t the reason why I was awake in recode time.

It would be hard not to with someone like Itachi in your bed, half naked, with only boxers, lose hair that was falling into his face and a sexy smirk on his lips. He was sex on legs and damm it he knows how to use that against me.

I grumbled a bit and covered my eyes with the blanked to stop my brain to turn into pudding.

"Alright, what do you want for breakfast?" I asked, but quickly regretted it.

"You"

"Don´t temp me" that sentence escaped me before I could stop it. I learned it like all the other quirks about him that he loved challenges like that. So, I need to be really careful with it at the moment. It was like dangling a full buffet before a starving man. It was hard to believe but at the moment I was the only person that could drive him to his limit like that.

He gave me that scary look, that wild look, one that sent thousand hot needles down my spine. They hold his promise to wait for my 18 birthday next year, but then...these eyes speaks volumes over what he would do then, letting me know that I need to turn in a vacation for a week because I for sure won´t be able to walk after that.

I slowly got out of the bed, shivering at the cold air, and took some clothes to change in the bathroom. He waited before the door giving me a last chance to look at his exquisite chest for this morning when we switched and I went into the kitchen.

´You know, this will be you daily morning...and we can´t touch him like we want until we are 18...arg´

´The dreams must do it for us for a while´

´You know the sever downside of living together?´

´?´

´We can´t touch ourselves anymore, he would know it and who knows what that would do with him´

I froze in the movement to open the blueberry sauce.

´Crap´

´Better curse Kakashi in teaching him how to train once nose to nearly the level of an Inuzuka´

Silently cursing I poured the sauce over the pancakes and sat down at the table, waiting for my raven haired boyfriend. He came in from the front door, confusing me.

He held an opened letter in his hand.

"You already changed our address?" I asked sceptical.

"No, I wanted to do it today" his tone was a bit clipped.

"What stands in the letter?" As long as it doesn´t concerns missions he told me what was bothering him. He only threw the letter down before me and I recognized that I was in for deep trouble.

I read then letter, it was fiercer than before, promising that this time they won´t joke about doing something to me and more talk about me not deserving him. I felt his angered glare on the side of my face, but the words won´t come to me.

"Why didn´t you do something about that? Why did you let it go out of hand!?"

I turned my head away not wanting to look at him, not wanting to tell him the reason, knowing he would blow up on me when I told him that I didn´t know what to do because they are right about me not deserving him, not being enough. Deep down in me was still traces of my former complex...and he hated it.

I was silent for too long and I was suddenly pulled out of the chair up on my feet´s, he grabbed my jaw in a strong grip and forced me to look in his angry eyes.

"Stop thinking like that! Yuuki!" He shook me a bit and I could see the helplessness in his eyes along with disappointment and then suddenly he let go of me and turned his back to me his hand went wildly through his hair in a rare moment where he showed a lot of emotions.

I took a deep breath calming down as far as I could, despair won´t help here.

"I know you hate it, Itachi, but still I don´t know the answers to their accusations. I don´t know if I deserve you, if I´m worthy of you" He sharply turned around with an anger on his face that any lesser man had reduced to a covering little pile on the floor, but I only held my hand up.

"I just know that I love you, too and that I won´t give this up. I just don´t know how to deal with them, what to tell them so they would stop this. Also I need to do this alone or else that won´t count." His expression softened and even showed some confusion.

"I´m slowly growing out of my complex, every day with you helped me overcoming it, some little traces will always remain, for that it just ran too deep in my personality, but now I can face such things like that and I need to do it alone to proof it to myself. Beside I was bullied once and against that these girls are like little kitties." I grinned at him and caressed his cheek and he laid his hand over my own stopping its movement.

"How deep?" He closed his eyes, knowing and fearing my answer, I once hinted at it.

"It would have killed me if the car wouldn´t have." I didn´t sweet it, the truth. He may have guessed it but still his eyes snapped open and I could see the storm of mixed feelings behind them.

"My live was not a pretty one, but still I fought. There is just so much a person can take until they break apart. I fought even when everything was in pieces, over and over again until I began to question why I fought...I lost the reason or more like I saw I never had one. Here it is different wholly different, I had finally a reason not to give up or better: after dying once I saw it." He listened closely only giving me his little sign to continue.

"Myself, before I was too much concert with what other thought of me or how I could make them like me, I wanted to please everyone, never once thought really about myself, I gave them everything but never took in return. Now here I...I could also take, I even got more than I gave, I could be selfish, and it made me happier than I ever was...and the best it didn´t only benefit myself, me being happy made also my friends happy...I finally saw it wasn´t too bad to be a bit selfish. Hard to describe, but I won´t give myself up again." I hugged him then and enjoyed his warmth.

´Really why are men hotter than women? I mean they can walk with T-shirt and shorts outside while it is snowing and we women just stand beside them with thick pullover, jacket, stockings, long jeans, socks and warm boots to feel warm. Plain unfair.´

´As you said unfair, but still...you love it when they are warm, you with your fast cooling body. But now you better should come up with a plan against these girls´

´Maybe I don´t need a solid plan...´

"I will go after I ate to deal with them" slowly I retreated feeling the cool air and sat down to eat the still warm pancakes .

After washing the dishes, I went outside, but not after getting the right bait for jealous fangirls, his jacket. I winked to him and left the house, I would make later a bento and bring it him...a special bento.

Going through the streets wearing a too big jacked with the Uchiha fan at the sleeve I soon gathered a big group of my targets. I lured them a bit away from public and then stopped waiting for them.

I didn´t waited long for them, soon I was circled by them and three women stepped forward.

´And here are the leading bitches´

´Language´

´Let us finally get this out of the world. You know I nearly want to hit them, make a bitch fight out of it, but I know you won´t do it.´

´Let us hear them out and try to solve this with words, in peace´

´But as soon as they hit you, stroke back´

´Alright´

"So, little whore, will you finally hear reasons and leave Itachi?" blond, blue eyes and a resemblance to a former secretary at the tactician building.

"It will be the last time we ask nicely" black, slick hair, dark eyes, looked like an Uchiha girl.

"I will not leave him" I was calm for the moment.

"YOU-!" miss blond was now fuming and made a step forward, but was stopped by the third girl with dark green hair in a punk style.

"I think you don´t understand your situation. You aren´t worth of him, you don´t deserve him, so you should let him go and a better girl take your place. For his happiness, let him go."

"And you know what makes him happy?" I asked, with sarcasm dropping from my voice.

Slowly they all were getting angry and throwing in what they knew about Itachis "happiness" and what he needs.

"He needs his training and his works"

"He needs a wild thing in the bed and not such a bitch like you"

"He needs a woman, a true one"

And some more of the obvious facts about my boyfriend.

"You all know nothing about him"

"We do!"

"Listen up bitches!" Ok I really hate it to deal with large groups of peoples and just want to be over with it, so I grabbed the front leaders collar pulling her near to me but also kept an eye at the group behind her.

"You all know nothing about him, how he really is and what he really wants, but the main point is that I won´t give him up to any of you, I will fight tooth and nails for him, so listen up for my advice. Find your own good damm boyfriend and finally experience true love and not the false one of being dotting with a hot guy, who will never return your feelings" I raised my voice and let my eyes bore into theirs making my point as clear as possible.

"And when you all still think to make everything harder then I will show you all hell and believe even a civilian can do it, after all I´m learning from the best." I grinned madly at my side remark at Mikoto. I think the last sentence did it they all paled a bit.

"Get your own love live" I growled, glared, turned and threw my hair dramatically over my shoulder making my great depart, knowing that some a pair of dark onyx eyes watched me.

Out of the sight of the fangirls I called my stalker out.

"Itachi, I hope you liked the show" I called out for him.

"I did" He purred into my ear and nibbled at it.

´Oh he for sure liked it´ I leaned back into him, still not really believing my luck that I got such a second chance, such a second live. I closed my eyes and hummed in content.

"When you are in so high spirit, how about doing something ...interesting"

´He paused, he paused don´t do it, that will not end good!´

I looked at his blank and perfect poker face and gulped audible.

"Do I even have the chance to say no?"

"No" and then his dark mischievous smirk spreads over his face.

´You are done for and 8 months are still left until your certain doom´

I know I'm a bit hard to the Fans but still I think exactly like that ^^".

Hope you liked it and leave some reviews :3
