Because he didn't want to be over heard by either Naruto or Sasuke, Kiba pulled Itachi up to the second floor of his house and towards his room.
The conversation they were about to have was not one he wanted either of his friends to hear. It was already humiliating enough that he had somehow ended up sleeping with his best friend's boyfriend's brother. He didn't want to think about how much fun his bastard of a best friend could have if he ended up hearing what was about to be said between them.
When they entered, Kiba was surprised to find that everything had been cleaned up, just like the rest of the house. He hadn't expected that it would be clean, if he could be telling the truth.
"I hope you do not mind the cleaning company having cleaned up here as well." Itachi murmured as he stepped into the room after Kiba, looking down at the younger male. "It seemed like it needed to be put into a bit of control."
His room... Actually looked like a decent room again. His room had never been 'too messy', really. But it had never been clean or ordered. There were always clothes strewn around, books thrown haphazardly, sports items left out to grab easily as he rushed through his morning routines, and shoes in every corner he was able to throw them to.
But now he was able to see his room without a single shred of evidence to him being a messy person. His bed was made, the sports equipment was gathered up into the basket his mother had bought for him years ago but had never been properly used until today, and all of his books were in his bookshelves. The shoes and clothes he guessed were now housed in his closet, where they were supposed to go.
Blinking at the clean room before him, Kiba looked at Itachi with surprise, then smiled softly.
"Thank you." He nodded slightly, then walked over to his bed and sat down, patting the spot beside him for Itachi to do the same. "We have to talk, Itachi."
He knew that they needed to talk. It didn't make any sense that he had felt like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar when Itachi had seen him with Sakura hanging off of him. And it was weird how Itachi had kissed him as if they were anything more than just a one-night stand. Because they weren't. All that had happened was that Kiba had gotten drunk and they had slept together. There was nothing more to it... Right?
"I agree." Itachi nodded as he walked towards Kiba, although he did not sit down beside the younger male. Instead he crouched down in front of him, so that Kiba had to look down to look him in the eyes. Then the elder's hands grasped Kiba's own gingerly, as if trying to show care with this gesture.
Immediately Kiba felt himself begin to sweat. But instead of looking away, he merely looked into Itachi's smoldering eyes, unable to look away.
"I wish for something more than just a one-"
"Let me stop you there!" Kiba jumped up as he interrupted the Uchiha, moving away from him to instead look out the window of his room while the blush began to spread on his face.
He couldn't believe this... He'd just wanted to get laid!
And now, not only did he not remember what had happened the past night, but he also had an Uchiha asking for his hand in... Just what, exactly? It couldn't be marriage. The Uchiha wasn't insane enough... Or was he?
"I just wanted a fun night!" He stumbled over his words as he looked outside of his home, taking note of the dull gray sky that signaled oncoming rain. "I don't want anything serious!"
He didn't turn to look back at Itachi as he continued to speak. He felt like if he did, he would not be able to say no to the older male. Instead, he'd give in and just go along with whatever the other proposed.
"I was horny and needed someone to scratch an itch... Why do you think I was throwing myself at just about anything on the dance floor with two legs?" At this, he chuckled nervously and uncomfortably, "Hell, I drank so much I'm still amazed I don't have a killer headache pounding at my head right now."
After he'd said this, his room fell into a tense silence.
Internally, he wondered if he'd heard Itachi's feelings. And this made him feel horrible, especially after how nice the Uchiha had been in helping him clean up all of his mistakes. He'd been nothing but nice ever since Kiba had woken up, and now he was being pushed away by an ungrateful Inuzuka.
But it wasn't as if he could go along with any plans the man had! Kiba was on his way to going to his first year of university. A year, he hoped, would be filled with random hookups and awesome promiscuity he'd never be able to replicate at a later point in his life.
Quite frankly, after the silence stretched for much too long, Kiba hoped that the older male had left his room to nurse his wounds. But when Kiba turned to make sure that Itachi wasn't inside of his room anymore, he found the Uchiha standing behind him. And if he jumped, it was simply because the man had made zero noise when he'd ghosted over.
"Normally, I am not the kind to push on a matter..." Itachi murmured softly as he took one step closer and into Kiba's personal space, which had the Inuzuka backing up and into his wall. "But while you do not remember what we spoke about the past night, I do. And I will refresh your memory before you continue to try and push me away."
Suddenly the taller male's hand was on Kiba's neck, holding the Inuzuka in place as a pair of soft yet slightly forceful lips pressed up against his own. A solid body pushed into his own and boxed him in, keeping him from being able to run away.
"For the longest of time, Kiba Inuzuka," Itachi whispered against his lips after he broke the kiss, left hand running along Kiba's side. The movement and breath on his lips caused an involuntarily shudder to run through the Inuzuka's body, but he couldn't say anything before Itachi continued, "I have wanted for you to be my boyfriend. I have watched you from afar and fallen in love. And I have watched from the sidelines as you fumbled from one cheap lay to the next..."
Itachi's voice was soft, yet passionate and serious. Everything he was saying, he meant. There was no doubt in Kiba's mind about this.
"But last night, I was able to get another look into your mind. A mind that does not want to continue jumping from a one-night stand to the next... A mind that wishes stability and romance, not just to continue lusting for another human's body."
His right hand stayed in place as the left ran up to join its partner on the other side of the Inuzuka's neck. And once it had reached its destination, Itachi pressed a chaste and tender kiss to the stunned Inuzuka's lips before he pulled away and looked him squarely in the eyes.
"You asked me to be your boyfriend last night, Inuzuka. And I'm here to stay."
So, I know it's been a while since I updated this and I'm sorry for the neglect! But I updated! And, hopefully, this story will be finished in a chapter or two!
