Chapter 3: Feeling
Naruto didn't say anything to Itachi as both decided silence was the best answer as they walked back to camp. Sasuke didn't say a word to Itachi when the blond and the black haired ninjas entered camp. Itachi still found their conversation from the disruptive night in good humor…for him at least. Poor Sasuke had been humiliated by his older brother yet again.
Proceeding to tie him back to the tree, Naruto looked into Itachi's eyes, so beautiful and deep. Itachi shook his head to clear himself of the ideas that were pummeling his mind. Oh plenty of good ones, but some he wished not to act upon…at least, not yet. As if on cue though, his stomach did a turn and growled insistently. Breakfast was in order and it didn't matter what he had.
He walked over to a couple of the people in the group and began talking swiftly with them. The 'cooks' as he liked to call them told him that they would make something shortly and for him to sit back and relax himself.
"Not to worry, Master, not to worry, everything will be in order soon. So, if you'd be so kind to sit patiently…" they trailed off at the glare they were receiving. Promptly, as though stabbed in uncomfortable places with senbon, they quickly got to work. In seconds a fire was going, heating up so it could cook fish.
The boy muttered darkly to himself as Itachi came over to sit carelessly by the blonde's place of restraint. The boy looked over at him, looking so hopefully. Why? Itachi stared back at the boy, and then looked around at the other occupants of the camp. None of which were paying the least bit of attention to their prisoner and leader. Quickly looking back at Naruto, he smiled softly at the boy. Something occurred that Itachi hadn't thought would. A blush painted his pale cheeks, making him look as though he had a fever. It wasn't adorable and it was drop-dead sexy. It was simple and it was exactly how Itachi would've had him do it in the state he was in right now. Itachi was overcome with an idea that was both spontaneous and slightly stupid.
Naruto, for the second time that day before noon, had been unwound from his bindings only to have Itachi put a kunai to the back of his head, kneeing him to move forward. Naruto didn't disobey, allowing his body to be moved limply forward, toward wherever Itachi had a fancy to.
Disappearing from the rest of the campers didn't seem like a bad idea. At any rate, he'd get to poke at the kitsune without any disturbances that might be able to occur. Alone with…Naruto, Itachi thought; trying out the boy's name inside his head first. He scrutinized it, contemplating whether or not he liked the way he said it. He decided he did.
They were far enough away from the others that he could release Naruto from the death-like grip he was holding him with.
"Naruto," Itachi said, a bit gruff, but still pleasant. Naruto turned around and looked at him with those big, blue eyes. Like a child's, he thought reminiscently. Naruto didn't say anything to him, just looked at him.
"I…I just wanted to talk to you." The sun streamed through the trees' canopies, splaying fragmented patterns across that beautiful head of hair. Naruto blushed at Itachi's ongoing stare.
"I-is there something wrong?" He said it in a less-than-loud voice. Not his normal, exuberant voice.
"No, I just didn't want the other's to watch you with me." Another blush was a gratifying earn for the stoic ninja of the two. God only knew what words Naruto put in Itachi's mouth. Yet it didn't matter. The others' prying eyes weren't around right now. The sunlight danced inside Naruto's hair. Acting upon impulse, Itachi reached out and stroked those golden locks. They weren't rough, slightly dried from the little breeze wafting through the trees with a faint fragrance of fish being cooked.
"Mm," Naruto hummed, as Itachi let his hand dive a little deeper into the blonde's hair, brushing the scalp occasionally. His hair was silky, despite him not having shampoo to wash out the tangles. He didn't even need a brush. Itachi marveled at his hair, allowing his strong hands massage his 'pet's' head. Naruto gave more than enough encouragement to continue. A soft moan of pleasure escaped his lips, and Itachi, not stopping his tiny ministrations, actually looked at the boy for a time.
The blonde's eyes were half-lidded, showing that he was into the touch, the attention. Too bad, thought Itachi, I rather liked looking at how blue his eyes are. Itachi also noticed that the boy was leaning into the touch…rather heavily, egging it on, not wanting him to stop for any reason. And why should I, no one will know about this escapade. Itachi stopped thinking for one second. He had berated his brother for having…those thoughts about the same sex. It wasn't going to bother him though. He wouldn't let it get to him and make it affect his decisions.
"Naruto," Itachi spoke finally, after what felt like hours of running his fingers through the boy's hair. The boy looked up at him watching, waiting. Confusion wrote inside those ocean blue eyes, mesmeristic blue eyes. Itachi, being a little more blessed in the height department, leaned down into Naruto, who still had Itachi's hands spun round in his hair. An agonizing moment passed between them as Itachi favored-and savored-the circumstances. The two were just barely inches away from a goal neither had thought even possible from the other.
Naruto's eyes pleaded, something that no boy should ever be reduced to, as well as the soft whimper that came forth from his soft, delicate lips so that Itachi could feel his breath tickling his own, slightly rougher pair. Itachi blinked sharigan eyes at him before he decided something that would later become a promise. Itachi drew Naruto in closer; whose eyes fluttered shut like butterfly wings. Itachi left his open for one moment, and then let his shut.
Their lips formed their own, and the serene bliss of an innocent kiss passed between the virgin and not.
A/N: Not long, not long at all,I know, but I DID get the promised fluff in this chapter. It turned out pretty okay in my honest opinion. Once again, I am not all entirely the instigator on when I update, Azion takes full responsiblity on either 'making me an offer I can't refuse' or saying 'UPDATE IT ANYWAY!' during P.-V.
Ai,
