So I decided it was time for some plot, but when I start putting the plot into motion, the ending will also creep closer and closer. So don't be surprised when it is suddenly the end! I just thought I couldn't keep filling it up with fluff :P

Enjoy this chapter!

...

A few weeks had passed already and their lives together seemed to be moving along just fine. Of course it was still difficult to not be able to see each other as much as they wanted, but the time they did spend together was great. Of course they had there awkward moments with Hidan and Sasori and Nagato, but they got over it and were actually quite used to the company of others around. They still had their share of intimate moments, exchanging enough kisses.

So of course it was quite a surprise when Itachi was leaving school to get to his ride when someone else was waiting right beside the car. His chauffeur was eyeing the man a little confused and annoyed, but the blonde himself was smiling happily when his blue eyes fell on the raven.

'Itachi! Long-time no see!' Minato exclaimed, suddenly looking a lot like his youngest son. The man stepped forward and shook Itachi's hand, grasping it tightly with the other as if to prevent the raven from running away or something. Fearing that his chauffeur was already calling his father, Itachi glanced around Minato, but saw his driver just glaring at him. He motioned for the man to wait for him in the car, not wanting him to hear whatever Minato wanted to discuss with him. 'I was wondering why you never stopped by anymore. It seems like you are spending a lot of time at your house?' Was that a threatening tone lingering in the man's voice?

But this also meant that Minato had no idea of what was going on. He thought Deidara would've told his parents by now. A confused look crossed his face as he looked up at the blonde. 'No, we have not been spending time at my house, sir. Didn't Deidara tell you what was going on?' he asked carefully, not wanting to anger the man or something. It was still his boyfriend's father after all.

'I guess he didn't.' And with that said Minato turned his head to the side, glancing at his own parked car where Deidara was sitting with a very guilty expression on his face. 'So better start talking, because I need to know. I thought something entirely else was happening, but I'm assuming you have not been luring my son to your place just to have sexual relations with him?'

Oh god, was that what Minato was thinking? Of course Itachi wouldn't do that and like hell that Deidara would even let him. That blonde was very feisty and would hit him if he even offered. 'N-no!' he called out. 'I would never do that, sir. We have been spending time together at a friend's house and even at a teacher's house, because my father found out about our relationship. Let's say that me seeing you right now might get me in a lot of trouble.'

Now it was Minato's turn to look confused and then quickly a look of understanding moved over his face and he sighed softly. 'Well, I understand now why Deidara hasn't told us anything about this. Kushina sometimes gets a little overprotective and might've called your father without thinking if she had found out. So I'm guessing that your father does not agree with your relationship and has something against homosexuals?'

Kushina overprotective? And this didn't count as overprotective? Cornering your son's boyfriend just to hear him out on their relationship, mostly sexual… Itachi shrugged that bit off and then nodded slightly. 'My father would never show that he dislikes homosexuals though,' he said softly. 'That would be bad for the reputation, but I have been the cause of many moves already and this would be another reason for that. A gay son is not good for the Uchiha image apparently.'

And then a soft hand landed on top of Itachi's head, ruffling through his block locks and pulling several strands out of its usual ponytail. 'I'm sorry to hear that. So it seems you also can't hang out at our place, because you're being driven around, huh?' The blonde clacked his tongue, looking off to the side, thinking about a solution for this problem.

'I don't think my father would appreciate that, no. And I don't want to cause any problems with your family either. Of course there is also the fact that my father would make us move if I did pursue this relationship and frankly I don't want to be away from Deidara. So we are together in secret. I even have a phone where my father knows nothing off.'

Without another word Minato turned around, facing away from Itachi, but looking right at his car. Leaning down and tapping on the window with a happy smile on his lips, he got the chauffeur's attention. As the window rolled down, Minato started speaking. 'Sorry, good sir. I am one of Itachi's teachers and it seems that we need to discuss some things for his project. I will need some more of his time, so if you do not mind, I'll bring him home when we are done. I am very sorry, but this is a very important assignment,' he lied right on the spot. What the hell? Was his driver even going to believe that?

With a grumble and a nod the chauffeur rolled the window back up and drove off, not even glancing back. The man didn't even ask any questions! Minato had been believable enough. 'Thank you,' Itachi whispered out, still glancing after the retreating back of the car. And then his hand was grabbed and he was pulled towards the car where Deidara still was sitting in. The blonde looked confused and excited at the same time, bouncing up and down in his seat.

Quickly signing is Itachi coming as well? Deidara looked up at his father and the smile Minato shot him was enough of an answer. The blonde jumped out of the car and flung his arms around Itachi's neck, pulling him into a kiss.

'Come on, kids. Get in the car. We still have a lot of explaining to do to your mother. She was about to go over to Itachi's house and murder your boyfriend, so don't get all too happy. You should've told us Deidara.' And immediately the blonde looked guilty, his arms sliding down from Itachi's neck to hang loose beside his sides. Yeah, Deidara should've said something, because not only would've Kushina murdered him, his father would've gladly helped the red-haired female.

The drive back was filled with complete silence. Deidara was snuggled up close to Itachi on the back seat, just lingering in the comfort of feeling each other this close and knowing they could spend time at the blonde's home again. Itachi really loved that house, so this was an amazing turn of events really. Of course the reason why Minato had come to talk to him wasn't the best, but what came out of it was.

As if it was the most normal thing to do, at home Minato just casually walked to the kitchen, expecting the two teens to follow him. Of course Deidara did immediately, being used to see everyone there first. But Itachi hesitated. It had been weeks since he last had been there and with what he just heard about Kushina didn't make him feel more comfortable. Slowly he followed after, opening the door carefully and glancing around the corner of the door. Immediately the redheaded woman glared at him and Itachi was about to make a run for it when Minato wrapped an arm around the female's waist.

'Just wait a second, sweetheart. Apparently it has all been a misunderstanding and our son didn't inform us on everything that has happened the last couple of weeks. Itachi didn't do anything to our son and I am pretty sure he never will, so why not listen to his story first.' Kushina started to calm down in the strong hold of her husband and sighed softly in defeat, kind of curious what this all was about anyway. She let out a fine and waved it off, turning back towards the stove where she was already preparing dinner.

A bit unsure Itachi stepped further into the kitchen, glancing around the room and noticing Naruto was also here, having raised an eyebrow at him. 'I thought you two had broken up since Itachi was never here anymore,' he said, gaining a rough elbow to the ribs from Deidara in response. Quite the punishment.

'I can assure you we have not broken up,' Itachi said, a slight smile on his face as he black eyes fell on his boyfriend. 'But something else did happen.' And after that he explained everything that had happened the last couple of weeks. Everything to what his father had said up until the phone Hidan had arranged for them. Minato and Kushina seemed a little surprised at the help from a teacher, but eventually understood where he was coming from as well.

They had listened in silence, but Itachi had noticed how Kushina had been stirring a little faster in her pan and her hair seemed to be sticking out much like an angry cat's fur would do. She was not happy, that's for sure.

'So your father forbade you from seeing my lovely son without even taking the time to get to know him?' she asked, turning around with a dark expression on her face. 'Well, then it is up to his mother to make sure your father understands just what he is doing to my baby!' And then she reached for the phone which hung on the wall. But before she could even dial a number, Minato was pulling her away from the phone, needing all of his strength to even move the struggling female. Kushina was strong when she was mad…

'Kushina, just think about it for a second!' Minato tried to reason with his wife, his voice a bit restrained due to the effort he needed to keep his wife calm. 'If you call his father now while you are this mad, you will ruin every change these two have of having a relationship.' And after that comment Kushina started to relax again, really thinking through about what kind of consequences her actions would have if she pursued them.

She turned around in her husband's arms after releasing the phone and just sighed softly. 'So what do we do then? If Itachi can't even come to our house and Deidara definitely can't go to Itachi's place, they will be stuck hanging out with that weird friend of theirs or with their teachers. That can't be a healthy relationship.' They glanced at the couple that were now giving Naruto disgusting looks as the smallest blonde was playing with his bowl of ramen, hands reaching beneath the table to just have a bit of a hold of the other.

'We have to just deal with it for now, Kushina. We'll think of something we can do. Maybe if we befriend the Uchihas, the father might loosen up a little. But before that happens, Itachi and Deidara will have to hang out at the places they have. Itachi has a chauffeur that drives him everywhere, so we can't really get him out of things easily.' Both sighing softly they leaned their foreheads together, looking up into each other's eyes. This really was an awful situation the teens were in. How can a father forbid their son in seeing the person they love the most? But even they noticed how much happier Itachi looked in the few times they had seen him. His home really must be awful.

Kushina glanced down again, smiling when she noticed how happy her own son looked as he stared at the raven, wiping a strand of hair out of Itachi's eyes. 'We'll help them, Minato. We'll make sure those kids will have a happy life together, because something tells me that this is for real. That this is forever.'
