Hello: thoughts
Chapter Six: Ice cream with Itachi and touchy feely moments.
"Naru, where are you going?" Iruka asked, after lunch on Sunday. Naruto looked up and blushed slightly.
"Oh yeah, um…Itachi is taking me out for ice cream," the blond answered. He was wearing a pair of black jeans, an orange tee shirt and a black jacket.
"Itachi? Is that the gentleman who came yesterday?" Iruka inquired.
"Uh, yeah," Naruto answered shyly, his face heating up, "I told him I'll meet him at his house."
"Ok, well have fun…but not too much fun," Iruka said cheekily and he then burst out laughing as Naruto turned the shade of a ripe tomato.
"Iruka!" Naruto exclaimed and hurriedly waving good bye, he left the still chuckling Iruka.
Naruto walked over to the huge ass gates and met a familiar face. It was the guard from yesterday. The man introduced himself as Kakashi Hatake and told him to go wait in the house. The said blond hesitantly walked to the house, hoping that Sasuke wasn't there. A maid with orange hair greeted him and gestured to the couches and he took a seat. His back was too straight and his heart was pounding. Naruto's shoulders were tense and the slightest noise made him stiffen. He was absolutely terrified of being here on his own, even when Itachi had promised him that Sasuke would leave him alone. His sleep had been riddled with nightmares. His dreams changed from his father defiling him to Sasuke raping him. Even with Itachi's careful assurances, he knew that even if someone promised you something, it doesn't always work out.
The social services had promised him he would be safe, but his demon of a father had escaped police custody and had found his residence. He broke in Naruto's room and hurt him all over again, gagging him with a sock. Takashi was on the run for a few months because Naruto was too afraid to tell anyone and while he was being switched from foster homes, his father always seemed to find him. When Iruka took him in, he finally spilled and Takashi was arrested. Now it was almost the same…almost. He was scared that Sasuke would come downstairs and see him and take him, right there on the green leather sofa or on top the mahogany kitchen table. He shuddered as unnecessary thoughts of Sasuke plagued him and he tried to think happy.
Hey, he thought to himself, you're going out for ice-cream with Itachi, and by the way, you actually think he's hot. No point in denying it. Smile and be happy for once, because you deserve it. Naruto shook his head, as if to dispel the images and a grin broke out when he say Itachi descend the stairs.
"Ready to go, Naruto?" Itachi asked.
"Yups," Naruto replied animatedly, tilting his head slightly. Itachi couldn't peel his eyes off the delectable blond. The clothes he was wearing wasn't too tight, but it wasn't too loose either. It fit him perfectly, but Itachi would have preferred if Naruto was wearing his birthday suit. Itachi started to redden at just thinking about it and Naruto looked at him in puzzlement.
"Ano, are you alright, Itachi? You look a little flushed," Naruto said and he put his hand on Itachi's pale forehead.
"You don't have a fever. Do you wanna stay home? We don't have to go, you know," Naruto said, his voice holding concern. Itachi had turned even a brighter shade of red when the blond had placed his smooth palm on his forehead. He reluctantly removed Naruto's hand gently and smiled softly, "No, I'm ok. It's just the heat. Let's go, ne?" Naruto nodded and glanced one more time at the stairs. The raven followed his gaze and said, "Don't worry about Sasuke. He's not feeling very well, he's a bit sore." Naruto just nodded, not really listening.
The ride to the ice-cream wasn't long and Itachi opened the huge glass doors to allow Naruto and himself entrance. Naruto blushed at the gesture and followed the raven. The shop was big and there were a series of boards containing the flavours of ice cream available and Naruto gaped as he saw the number. There were over one hundred flavours and Itachi took Naruto elbow gently and guided him to a table. A pretty waitress with blue hair, introduced herself as Natsuke, smiled at the gentlemen and winked at Naruto.
"What can I get for you?" she asked, still looking at Naruto. Itachi cleared his throat and glared at the girl who 'eeped' quietly.
"I'll have the banana split," Itachi said smoothly, but inwardly thinking, I'd prefer a Naruto split but I guess banana is gonna have to do.
"And you, cutie?" Natsuke asked, gaining a furious blush from the blond.
"Uh…I'll just have a chocolate sundae, the smallest one you got," Naruto answered, smiling sweetly at her and it was Natsuke's turn to flush scarlet. Itachi cleared his throat louder and scowled at her and told her coldly, "Don't you have somewhere to be?"
"Er…yeah, sorry sirs," she meeped shyly, blushing like hell, and she took to her heels.
"Itachi! You scared her off!" Naruto protested and then burst into a fit of giggles.
"Ah well, she was making moves on what was not hers," Itachi said, fingering the blue napkin on the table. Naruto flushed at the statement and then tears came into his eyes, but did not fall.
"So then, I belong to someone?" he asked softly, not looking up at Itachi. The obsidian-eyed male realized that his off handed statement hurt Naruto and he mentally slapped himself. The whole point of this 'date' was for him to get to know Naruto better, so he could at least stand a chance in winning his heart, not making him cry.
"Naruto, I didn't mean to make you upset," Itachi said, clearly not fully understanding why the said blond was disturbed.
"No, it's not your fault. When I was living with my father…he would always tell me that he owned me and that I belonged to him and Sasuke would tell me that I was his. I'm…I'm not property…and…and I hate it when people talk that way…like I am just a possession," Naruto replied and broke his gaze. Full comprehension dawned on the Uchiha and he inwardly berated himself for his utter stupidity.
"I apologize Naruto, I really do. I didn't mean it like that," Itachi said, don't worry Naru, you and I will be together in a relationship with love and…
Itachi was snapped out of his reverie when he heard Naruto chatting with the waitress, Natsuke, who came with their orders. Trying to be as civil as possible, for Naruto's sake, he smiled courteously at the girl and politely thanked her. Naruto delved into his sundae and sighed contently. Both males talked about random stuff and Itachi knew Naruto a lot better and knew that he shouldn't rush things.
Going back into the car, they both sat in silence and Itachi was about to rev the engine when Naruto said, "Thanks for today, Itachi." Taking Naruto's hand, he replied, "It's ok, you know. I really wanted to get to know you better and well, now I do." They both sat there in a somewhat awkward silence, Naruto's tanned hand still in Itachi's pale one. They realized how close they were, in the narrow confines of the car. Naruto and Itachi looked at each other and the raven's eyes were glued to Naruto's ones, as though they were cerulean magnets. Itachi moved forward and placed a kiss on Naruto's parted lips.
He was soon snapped out of whatever daze he was in and just realized what he had done.
"I'm sorry Naruto! I…I…I didn't know what I was doing," Itachi desperately explained, the bulge in his lower regions, not helping the situation. Naruto sat there, wide eyed and blushing. He finally found his voice and in a surprising calm tone, he asked, "Are you sorry that it…the kiss didn't mean a thing to you?" Itachi looked bewildered for a moment and then understood the question.
"It meant everything to me," he replied hoarsely. This time Naruto didn't blush and boldly initiated the second kiss. The raven was beyond surprised at this point, but didn't give a damn. Instead, he moved his lips and tongue in coordination with Naruto's and he trailed wet kisses on the blond's neck, licking gently, but careful not to hurt the precious boy. They both moaned and this time, Naruto actually whimpered in pleasure. Itachi's kisses were nothing like his father's or Sasuke's. His father's kisses were cruel and demanding, while the younger Uchiha's own were harsh but gentle. Itachi's kisses were soft and sweet and gentle and Naruto loved them.
They both pulled apart, panting.
"Naruto, I'm sorry. You need to heal. I can't…won't hurt you," Itachi said softly.
"Itachi, you have given me my first real kiss. All the others were out of force, but you waited until I was ready and I love you for that…and I think I love you on the whole," Naruto said, his cheeks colouring lightly and he fidgeted. Itachi could have jumped for joy and yelled like a maniac, but hence, Uchihas don't do that, so he smiled instead and said simply, "I love you too." Naruto looked like Christmas came early and he immediately glomped the raven.
Even though they were in a car, in a parking lot, in public, Itachi took this as an opportunity to kiss the blond again. This time, he roamed the blond's body with his pale hands, fingers searching under his tee, Naruto's jacket discarded. The sun kissed teen didn't protest, but kept on kissing Itachi passionately and feeling happy and loved. Itachi brought out feelings in him that he wasn't sure he had and he loved the feel of Itachi's fingertips on his flesh. He wanted Itachi to love him and even make love to him, but obviously not here and not now. For now, he just wanted to feel Itachi's skin on his and feel his tongue wander to his neck and chest and nipples. He clung to Itachi's neck and kissed his cheek and jaw and intertwining his fingers in his ebony hair. For a while, they just sat there, when they were done, both panting and taking laboured breaths. Naruto sighed and said, "We should go."
Itachi nodded and even though the bulge in his pants didn't go away, Itachi felt as though the entire world was his.
A/n: I decided not to put the lemon because a few of you said that Naruto should get time to heal and I totally agreed with that. Sorry for any spelling errors and if this chapter was rushed. I'm not sure if to end it here or if I should do an epilogue, so you tell me, ne? Thanx again for your reviews and comments.
