Chapter Five
Eleven days came and passed with seemingly gracious ease and a with growing comfort forming between both Itachi and Neji from living together; the pair effortlessly getting used to eating together, having polite, respectful conversations, and just getting to know little, trivial things about the other as time progressed.
It was only after the second day that Itachi became informed about Neji's deep dislike for peas, for example.
It was not to be brought up again.
Likewise after the third day, Neji found out that Itachi usually worked second shift at the hospital; from afternoon hours to the morning most of the time. Only a few times during these current eleven days did Itachi have to go back to the hospital when other doctors were in grave need of another expert opinion on a case they had had at the time. More or less, Itachi's paid time off was still being utilized quite effectively, however, as the good doctor could not remember spending so much relaxing and worry-free time at home before.
It was a wonderful and recuperative time for the both of them to be with each other so much during all this time, and the appreciation for the other's loyal companionship was very much mutual in its own right.
However, as pleasant as all this time had been for the pair, it had also equally served as a means of silent, agonizing torture that neither had dared to mention yet.
Not once since their first day together had Itachi and Neji shared another kiss, another longing, meaningful touch, nor a nostalgic word concerning that brief time that would bring back every emotion and fiber that had surfaced when those things had transpired between them.
Though, Itachi would often catch himself staring after Neji as the younger man would take his leave of him and exit the room to venture off somewhere else in the house – the Uchiha's deep-set coal-colored eyes would just daze into space for a moment as he would painstakingly notice the way Neji's enticing hips dipped this way and that as he strode; the way the perfect arches in the soles of his bare feet would pat against the hard tiled floors; the way Neji's gorgeous, long brown hair would flow in time with his steps as if calling out to Itachi himself to just chase after him…all of it and more was considered by the briefly listless Uchiha as he could still see the smile Neji would give him before even turning around.
Meanwhile, as all of this would occur several times throughout each day, Itachi could only hope and pray that Neji was in some, small way sharing in his agony – this burning, grating nagging to his very core that positively screamed at him to do something about how he was feeling; make some kind of move; anything...anything just to finally feel the sweet relief he knew would ensue upon finally having his needy hands back on his Hyuuga…his tempting, beautiful Hyuuga.
Pure, constant torture…for eleven days…
Now, as Itachi was presently in the kitchen, drying off his hands with a nearby rag; the Uchiha caretaker just having finished cleaning a small round of dishes; lovely black eyes slipped closed for a moment while he could still vividly remember Neji's joyous, enamoring smile and laughter that he had just shown him just a few moments ago while they had had dinner.
Neji's entrancing, incandescent eyes would sparkle with the most beautiful luster each time Itachi was blessed to hear his guest's rich, warm laughter that always seemed to strike him deep within his chest – filling it with such weight that physically made Itachi have to look somewhere else to be able to deal with the minor, restrained discomfort.
Impossibly dark eyes opened at once.
"God, what do I do? I'm not that strong, I can't just...ignore…everything I feel…" Itachi thought begrudgingly to himself as he dropped the white and sage-striped rag back onto the countertop before placing both palms on said surface so he may rest his weight on his hands and just hang his head low for a while – his eyes facing the now empty sink but not really looking at it.
Itachi Uchiha needed to feel those lips again, needed to feel that gorgeous mouth against his own and just know that he was the one to make the stunning Hyuuga tremble in his arms once more.
"Itachi?" an angelic voice suddenly called sweetly from behind him, making the perturbed Uchiha turn around at once to seek out the beautiful owner, ready to see to his every need while devotedly deny his own.
"Are you alright?" Neji asked his caretaker with genuine concern shaping his milky-lavender eyes and perfect, porcelain features that looked up into Itachi's stoic and handsomely collected face as he returned the heartwarming gaze that made the Uchiha mindlessly swallow hard and try to forcibly shoo away the tightening in his stomach.
Neji looked so indescribably adorable at the moment as the Hyuuga; dressed in a simple white T-shirt and soft, grey cotton sweatpants; cautiously inched closer and closer to his older caretaker with his hands folded out in front of him as he took slow, measured steps.
"Yes, I'm fine; there's nothing wrong," Itachi tried to assure his guest as he offered him a small smile, his lying words gentle and as sweet as butterscotch candy as he watched Neji's look of endearing unease not waver once as he stepped even closer to the older man.
Neji's fingers separated from being interlaced together as the Hyuuga blinked his charming eyes at Itachi, clearly noticing how tense the older man had become with each, closing step Neji took until he was practically a hairsbreadth away from the troubled raven.
"Are you sure? You look a little…pale…"Neji's voice turned into a low, mesmerizing coo as he stood on the tips of his toes to be somewhat more at eye level with the painfully gorgeous man in front of him – the act making Neji's chest press into Itachi's as he moved to eliminate even the tiniest of space in between them; desperate to be closer to this man ever since they had shared their first kiss all those days ago.
In truth, Neji knew that he had been completely taken by the taller, older man the moment he had first lain eyes on him that one, chilly night Downtown, but now…after living with him, feeling his generosity and kindness, Neji had long realized that he was hopelessly in love with him.
The Hyuuga had never known that such a gentle, caring nature could also coexist in something so powerful and alluring – the very mixture all but drawing Neji even further in love with Itachi every day as the Uchiha showed him nothing but infinite understanding and heartfelt, resilient concern.
Everything the incredibly refined but steadfast raven-haired man did always radiated an aura of inspiring sophistication, while at the same time, gleaming with such humility…like a deity made man right in front of Neji's eyes, it was breathtaking and baffling, every little thing about Itachi, while it all seemed so effortless.
Neji felt like he had been given a gift from God and even though he had had to suffer dearly for it…Neji regarded everything that had happened prior to him as being worth what he had now.
Neji knew he could not be without Itachi any longer and that each second that had passed between them where nothing further had happened beyond their kiss was like Neji denying his remarkable, invaluable gift that he had obviously been blessed to have.
Itachi's dark eyes widened briefly, his body completely frozen in the place where he stood in the brightly illuminated kitchen; as the Uchiha's breath caught in his throat while he could only observe in some brain-shattering awe as Neji slowly brought both of his slender, delicate hands up to his face and carefully take both of Itachi's cheeks in his palms.
Itachi's entire body seemed to relax greatly as soon as Neji's soft, comforting hands were touching him, as his broad, black-clad shoulders visibly dropped and his air was quietly sighed out as he softened his gaze down at the gorgeous man lightly pressed up against him.
"Neji…I don't…"Itachi rambled unconsciously, not even really having a point to make as his airy, thoughtless words just seemed to escape him of their own accord before Itachi could stop himself and think twice.
"Shh…I have something to say to you…I've held it in for too long as it is," Neji said quietly, his eyes half-lidded and fixated on Itachi's tanned, sharp features that had long captured his dreams as he kept his fingers resting on Itachi's strong jaws as he eased Itachi's head down towards him a little more.
Petal-soft lips, as soft and as sinful as the finest silk, pressed against Itachi's lips as Neji slipped his eyes closed and rubbed the pads of his thumbs over Itachi's cheekbones; caressing the smooth flesh there with tender admiration and praise as he moved to deepen the kiss.
The instant Itachi felt Neji's lips upon his own, the rest of the Uchiha's sense of reservation, all of his previous confusion and mental strife, crumbled, as he allowed himself to indulge fully in everything Neji was offering – the raven-haired man quickly crossing his wrists on the curve above Neji's ass as his arms squeezed the smaller man against him…just like how he had been mentally yearning for not only a moment ago.
Neji's hands released Itachi's face as the Hyuuga ardently threw his long, lean arms around his caretaker's neck to bring him even closer, to make Itachi's lips crush even harder against his own as both sets of luscious, slightly-pink lips melded and moved against each other before parting simultaneously.
Neji mewled softly into Itachi's mouth as he felt the Uchiha expertly slip his soft, warm tongue inside his mouth, instantly seeking out his own tongue with which to play and tease, as the Hyuuga unconsciously tightened his fingers on the back of Itachi's black shirt and pleasantly began to forfeit his right mind as he felt all his wits mesh to an astonishing oblivion that set his senses ablaze and his ever-pressing desire reach new heights from feeling Itachi's wondrous tongue against his own.
Strong, skilled hands slid down the delicious curve of Neji's lower back to seize and massage Neji's small, perfect ass at once, Itachi's talented tongue still searching and exploring every inch of the brunette's alluring, addicting cavern which was making the younger pant softly, grip tightly, and desperately press his smaller, more delicate frame against Itachi's blissfully larger and much more sculpt body.
"What was it…"Itachi began in a husky, lust-ridden voice as he currently released Neji's tongue from in between his lips so he may speak to him in between his light, pecking kisses that he placed to the corners of Neji's mouth, "…that you wanted…to say to me, Neji?"
Neji's slender body felt boneless as he was arched slightly backwards; the Hyuuga having quickly lost himself in all of Itachi's amazing, soul-breaking kisses that scorched his very being as they warmed his heart and made his blood race; his eyes slightly closed as his head was turned to a side by the bridge of Itachi's nose before he felt the Uchiha place soft, slow, and wet kisses to the side of his neck – the crafty, knowing Uchiha waiting patiently for an answer while he still continued to love sweetly on his sexy houseguest.
"Ah…I wanted to tell you…" Neji began in broken, breathless words as his overheating body could not help but react with little, surprised and pleased jolts to Itachi's precious lips touching him over and over again, "…that I…ugh…that I really appreciate everything you've done for me, and I…ah…I love you…"
Itachi stopped kissing Neji – the Hyuuga quickly turning his head back towards the Uchiha's stunned face so he may read his expression now that he had just confessed something so personal.
Itachi's lips were slightly parted and the older man was not blinking as he only stared at the increasingly nervous Hyuuga who visibly gulped down his fear, his mind overriding itself with how he would not take back his words, he would not regret them no matter how much Itachi might disagree or protest because…because he had meant them all.
"You…"Itachi struggled even though his voice sounded like melodic, peaceful timber to Neji's attentive ears as the Hyuuga could only remain in Itachi's unmoving arms and return his unwavering gaze while he heard him out, "…I, uh…"
Suddenly, Itachi shook his head steadily from side to side, all of his worry and anxiety literally disappearing from his face as he regained Neji's enticing gaze once again; this time with solid, keen black orbs that peered practically through the younger man in his arms.
"Say it again, Neji," Itachi said in a stern but not harsh voice before he slowly let the tip of his nose touch Neji's, effectively rubbing their noses together as both men could feel the other's warm breath ghost over their heated flesh as Itachi seemed to be truly enjoying Neji's warmth as he tightened his hold on the man with his well-muscled arms, "…please…say that to me again."
It was hard to tell which man was melting faster as Neji was genuinely enamored with how Itachi savored him and was affectionate towards him, even concerning the smallest of things – it all had Neji feeling lighter than air despite his growing arousal yearning to experience more with the loving and exceptionally fascinating man before him.
Neji smiled softly at the handsome man holding so tightly onto him as he whispered, "I love you, Itachi…I love you so much. You saved me from the darkness, took care of me…you constantly worry about me…and I love you for it. I couldn't imagine…living without you now…"
Two sets of lips were urgently pressed back together; Itachi's hands having been removed from Neji's ass in favor of cradling the younger man's head as his long fingers were amiably woven in thick, chocolate-brown hair, angling Neji's lips up to meet his perfectly as Itachi kissed him once more with such passion, such gratitude that it almost brought Neji to tears of joy.
"Can I make love to you, Neji?" Itachi asked breathlessly, somewhat mindlessly, as soon as he just barely pulled his lips away from Neji's – the younger man's fingers clutching onto the front of his black shirt almost painfully hard as both men were practically drowning in their long-since frustration to be with the other exactly as they were at this moment.
"Yes…Itachi…I need you…"Neji breathed, his lips already burning for more contact as he placed light, butterfly kisses to Itachi's tanned, chiseled jaw and down his neck before the top of that black, cotton shirt obstructed any further advancement.
With no more instruction or motivation needed, Itachi dipped down for a quick second as he easily placed an arm under Neji's knees and hoisted the smaller, lighter man up bridal-style before walking briskly to his bedroom – Neji's hands never leaving Itachi's shirt for support while the Hyuuga simply could not stop himself from continuing to kiss and lick provocatively along Itachi's exposed collarbone and neck, making Itachi gasp softly at the feverish, desperate attention Neji was giving him.
In no time, Neji was gently placed on top of a large, pillow-soft mattress that was decorated with shiny, metallic-looking silver sheets and pillows that accompanied all the exquisitely modern and sleek silver and black furniture and accents in the spacious and well-kept bedroom. The dual night stands on either side of the impressive bed were glass-topped with swirling black, cast-iron filigree designs that perfectly matched the much larger glass desk off in the right corner, next to a huge, black armoire and dresser that also offered spots of a much richer color to battle the lighter silver and the white of the clean, spotless walls.
All of the notable furnishings and coordination concerning the exquisite bedroom were completely lost on Neji, however, as pale lavender eyes never once strayed away from pure obsidian orbs that seemed to cut right through the barely illuminated room where only blocks of lights were able to shine in from the hallway and through the opened, disregarded door.
Itachi had placed his beloved Neji amongst his pillows with extraordinary care, making sure that Neji's head was resting comfortably on one large, silver pillow that contrasted against the rich mocha of the Hyuuga's long mane exceedingly beautifully, before slowly removing his arms from underneath the lying man so he may start to remove the clothing from his lover.
As tanned fingers latched onto the bottom hem of his white shirt and began to pull the garment upwards, Neji obligingly lifted his arms over his head and arched his back off the bed; Itachi's eyes never leaving Neji's face as he watched his angel visibly settle and relax against his mattress in an enchanting display.
The smooth, creamy skin of Neji's upper body was exposed as Itachi let the borrowed white T-shirt unconsciously slip from his fingers as his dark, intelligent eyes were glazed over as they peered at long, slender lines of perfectly honed muscle complimenting Neji's smaller but agile body type –something practically carved straight out of Heaven and presented right in his hands.
"My God, Neji…"Itachi said what was on his mind out loud in a voice laced with so much admiration and genuine appreciation that it made Neji squirm on top of the soft, silken sheets below him, "…you are so beautiful."
Neji smiled at Itachi's infatuated praise before he slowly sat up, his head having to tilt backwards so he could continue to look up into the Uchiha's handsome, awestruck face.
"So are you," Neji replied back coolly as he let his fingers unsnap the top button on Itachi's pants, carefully pull down the tiny, silver zipper, and then seize a bit of the fabric at each of Itachi's hips so he may inch down the plain, black pants from the older man.
As Itachi let Neji sensuously strip him of his pants, the Uchiha quickly took off his own black shirt, tossing the light garment away carelessly, before setting his lustful gaze back down on his Hyuuga who was now closing his lovely eyes as he slid his small hands up to Itachi's waist and pressed a feather-light kiss to Itachi's lower abdomen.
Itachi gasped from the purposefully teasing but loving gesture to his sensitive but rigidly-muscled flesh as he lifted his hands up to Neji's pale, rounded face and affectionately raked his fingers through Neji's hair, pulling the thick strands back so he may see more of his stunning lover that clung to him and kissed him so dearly.
Neji was positively in love with the way Itachi combed through his hair with his fingers, gentle while still being so painstakingly sexy, as Neji freed his own hands from Itachi's sides before he trailed his fingertips down the perfectly contoured lines of muscle that gave Itachi the most breathtaking shape, until he firmly seized Itachi's growing arousal.
Itachi hissed from above Neji as his grip in Neji's hair automatically faltered as the Uchiha pulled his luscious bottom lip in between his teeth as he could only watch in lustful appreciation as his Hyuuga stuck out his little, pink tongue and generously ran the warm, wet muscle over the leaking slit adorning the very tip of his cock.
Neji 'mmm'ed in his throat upon tasting Itachi as he skillfully parted his lips and let Itachi's thick, smooth member slide into his mouth, his tongue swirling along the sensitive underside the entire time as Neji used his hands on the Uchiha's hips to guide him.
Itachi trembled slightly the moment he felt those delicious lips separate and allow his throbbing length to ease mind-shatteringly slow down his lover's throat – Itachi's head tipping back so he may relish in the intoxicating warmth of Neji's mouth as he felt the Hyuuga close his lips tightly around him in various places and lightly suck on his member, coaxing him to get even more aroused.
"Mmm…baby…"Itachi cooed out to his ceiling; his voice of a man coming totally apart at the seams as he could not help but weakly push and pull his increasingly begging cock in and out of Neji's talented and highly-addictive mouth – the Hyuuga completely obliging Itachi in every way as he opened his lips wider around Itachi's length so the Uchiha may move his cock inside of his mouth as he pleased.
"Neji…mmn…that feels…too good, baby," Itachi continued to purr as he almost ruefully pulled his cock of Neji's mouth; a tiny line of transparent saliva still connected from the wide head of Itachi's cock to Neji's perfectly pouting lips as he licked his bottom lip as if to savor the Uchiha's taste even more.
Gracefully, Neji lain back down on the bed as Itachi automatically followed, positioning his hands on either side of his sprawled-out and sinfully beautiful lover as he pressed his lips to his collarbone at once.
Over and over; each kiss to Neji's porcelain skin becoming more demanding, more solid than the one before; Itachi closed his lips around the impossibly smooth skin of Neji's chest before running the flat of his tongue to one of Neji's nipples which he slipped in between his petal-soft lips.
Neji's hands were immediately in Itachi's long, layered black hair; pulling out his hair-tie with careful ease to let his lover's raven tresses blanket around them both; as Neji arched his back a little off the bed at feeling Itachi lustfully suckle on his sensitive nipple before letting his teeth graze over the worried nub of flesh to make the Hyuuga writhe amongst his sheets.
"Ooh…'tachi…nnh…"Neji mindlessly stammered as he could not restrain his body from twisting and turning with growing, building pressure and fire from being subject to Itachi's warm mouth teasing his flesh – all of it making his own cock pulsate with urgent, red-hot need for his lover to claim him even more.
Itachi released Neji's tortured, erect nipple and instantly closed his lips around the other, one of his hands already languidly trailing down the slim lines adorning Neji's stomach until the Uchiha quickly tugged Neji's cotton pants off his squirming hips and down his legs.
"I-Itachi…please…"Neji whined, unable to finish his thought clearly as he let out another breathy sigh when Itachi hurriedly flicked the tip of his tongue across Neji's nipple, knowingly bringing his pale-eyed lover out of his right mind and into a staggering state of crazed, wanton lust.
His lover now completely naked underneath of him, Itachi craned his head up to look at Neji's erotic expression and commanded lowly, "Turn over."
Itachi stood up straight beside the bed on which Neji immediately obeyed and elegantly turned around so he may lie on his stomach; the Hyuuga gathering up his long, brown mane in one hand so he may drape his lengthy hair over one shoulder once he was finished maneuvering on top of the sheets.
Itachi could only marvel at Neji's wonderfully sculpt, lean body for a moment before he knelt over his lover and placed a quick kiss to the back of his shoulder.
"Don't move; I'll be right back," Itachi cooed to his waiting lover as he padded over to his adjacent master bathroom – Neji remaining completely still as per his beloved caretaker's orders as he kept his arms crossed in front of him with which to prop up his upper body as he lie on his stomach on the moonlight-hued mattress.
The sound of footsteps drew closer to Neji after only a minute of Itachi retrieving something from his bathroom – the Uchiha settling comfortably on top of his patient, younger lover as he practically straddled Neji's ass but remained on his knees so he may have some leverage over him.
"Ahh…!" Neji gasped sharply before melting back against the crisp sheets as he felt Itachi pour some pleasant-smelling baby lotion onto his bare back; the slippery, clear substance already cooling his heated flesh and making his every nerve relax.
With expert, loving care, two strong hands began massaging the thin oil into Neji's skin, making his body glisten as Itachi circled his thumbs against Neji's back; drawing out many, airy coos and groans of approval from the Hyuuga as he allowed himself to be taken to the tender puffs of clouds that bordered Heaven as Itachi worked out any remaining tension in his muscles.
"Mmn…lower…"Neji suggested with a small raise of his ass as the Hyuuga was dying softly underneath Itachi's unbelievably satisfying touches and ministrations, everything he had only dreamed of prior to this actually happening.
Neji was beside himself with how much attention and love Itachi was showing to him at the moment – something the Hyuuga was definitely not accustomed in light of his earlier days as a prostitute on the streets, making everything Itachi did to him feel like nothing short of a miracle.
"As you wish, love," Itachi replied with a smirk on his handsome face as he lowered his hands to Neji's small, rounded ass and began to knead the supple flesh, greasing the pale globes with more of the baby lotion that Neji obviously seemed to enjoy thoroughly by all the sensual sounds and noises he was making into Itachi's pillows.
Slowly, Itachi slipped a well-oiled finger inside his lover, making Neji instantly toss his head back and groan – the Hyuuga raising his ass off the bed and towards Itachi once again, signaling to his older lover that he wanted more.
"Neji…"Itachi's voice came out almost like a half-hearted warning as the Uchiha drove in another finger, immediately sawing his intruding fingers in and out of his lover until he was ready to fit a third digit inside Neji's lubricated and intoxicating heat, "…you have no idea what you do to me…"
Neji had arched his back upon feeling another finger enter him, and he could not bite back the moan that escaped his parted lips upon hearing Itachi's erotic words to him.
"Itachi…!"Neji whined again, this time louder as his oiled and marvelously gleaming body began to trembled from his dire need to have Itachi inside of him – his begging cut short, however, as another finger was abruptly shoved inside of his ass, striking the tight, highly-sensitive bundle of nerves located deep inside of him that instantly made him cry out lustfully inside the expansive, shadowed bedroom.
Itachi knew he could not take much more of Neji calling out his name like that, and promptly removed all three of his slick fingers which a distinguished 'squelch' that seemed to reverberate throughout the room – Neji already sitting up and turning around to face his black-haired, black-eyed lover.
Hungry, demanding lips were crushed to his, Neji's tongue furiously sliding into Itachi mouth and sucking on his own as the Hyuuga took the little bottle of baby lotion from his lover and deftly poured down Itachi's front, making the sweet-smelling oil run down his abdomen, down his straining, purpling length, and drip onto his thighs.
Itachi broke the kiss with a throaty growl as Neji quickly smeared the oil up and down Itachi's engorged cock, lightly pumping him as he completely slicked every, throbbing inch of his striking lover that seemed to be a second away from devouring the Hyuuga whole.
Still keeping his hand firmly grasping Itachi's length and his lips gently nipping at Itachi's bottom lip, Neji slowly lain back on the mattress, effectively pulling Itachi along with him as the Uchiha situated himself in between Neji's spread legs that were quick to wrap around his waist.
The pale-eyed young man directed the tip of Itachi's cock to his own sopping and stretched entrance; the Uchiha positively beside himself with agonizing lust at how deliciously demanding Neji was with his sex; before freeing his hands to wrap around Itachi's wide, strong back that seemed to smother him in the most brilliant of ways.
Itachi's lips pressed a firm kiss to Neji's temple as the older man whispered, "Neji…baby…I love you."
And with that, Itachi snapped his sex-promising hips forward, sheathing almost all of his entire cock deep inside Neji's unbelievably hot entrance as he forced that tight ring of muscle to stretch wide to accommodate his thick length – Neji immediately digging his nails into Itachi's shoulder blades as he cried out from the initial pain.
"Shh…it's alright…I won't move until you tell me," Itachi stated as he pressed feather-light kisses to Neji's face, trying to soothe his lover's pain as he watched Neji's features visibly relax under his ministrations.
"I'm alright…just…go slow," Neji instructed breathlessly as he raised his hips up a little bit, making his legs squeeze around Itachi's waist and back tighter as he subtly began moving in time to meet Itachi's careful, slow thrusts inside of him.
Soon, Neji had relaxed greatly, feeling any sharpness with Itachi's movements practically melt away the more the Uchiha mindfully drive his long, hard cock deep inside of him, as he was reduced to a moaning, writhing pile of Hyuuga mush as he pawed at Itachi's back and lolled his head amongst the pillows.
"…feels…so good…"Neji panted out, Itachi's pace having gotten gradually but naturally faster as their movements with one another seemed to harmonize perfectly in between their slick, toned bodies that genuinely desired to bring pleasure to the other.
"Good…"Itachi commented with a smile as he looked down at his Heavenly lover with half-lidded eyes before he felt two, delicate hands seek purchase in his hair at the back of his head and lovingly angle him down slightly so Neji could feel those velvet lips of his once more.
As Itachi's solid cock began pounding into Neji's entrance with almost brutal force, Itachi plunged his warm tongue into Neji's mouth, wringing out moan after moan from the brunette that he could not help but swallow up as Neji was already clawed at his back and bucking his hips up wildly to make Itachi's thrusts hit him deeper, harder.
Feeling massively overwhelmed; as all of their previous foreplay, kisses, touches, everything had been progressively pooling low in his groin as a coiling, burning sensation that made his fingertips tingle, and was now threatening to escape him in a staggering, mind-breaking rate; Itachi broke off their passionate, hot kiss so he may speak to his lover as he kept his lips still touching Neji's parted, moaning mouth.
"N-Neji…I love you so much…nnh…so much…I'm so fucking close…"Itachi said before all of his internal instincts made him sit up straight, his hands automatically seizing each of Neji's legs so he may keep them hoisted up high as he continued to frantically thrust his pulsating cock in and out of his writhing, sweating lover.
"Ohhh….I love you…Itachi, ah…!" Neji moaned in a sensual crescendo as the Hyuuga was clearly at his limit as well; his small, white hands up by his head and fisting the sheets violently as he rocked his hips with Itachi's soul-searing thrusts into his entrance, "…I'm coming!"
Itachi watched, fascinated as well as possibly bewitched, as Neji arched his back off of his bed once more, his chocolate locks spilled all around his pillows as the Hyuuga craned his head back, screaming his name with a hoarse, desperate voice that sizzled Itachi's very soul, and came in multiple, jagged arcs of thick, white essence all over his stomach and chest.
Watching Neji come all over himself by nothing else than the feeling of his own cock pounding into his tight, hot ass, Itachi finally let whatever remained of his fading mental barrier totally disintegrate as he came long and hard inside of Neji's wonderfully textured channel that seemed to milk him for everything he was worth as he continued to pump his Hyuuga full of his warm, creamy substance – Neji's name having fallen from Itachi's lips just as a petal descends from the most beautiful sakura tree.
Itachi and Neji were both panting for precious air; Itachi's long, black bangs sticking to his brow and cheeks as he carefully place his lover's long, slender legs down on his bed; before carefully maneuvering to Neji's side to lie next to him.
"Wow, I…I can't believe we just did that…"Neji commented, possibly more to himself than to his dark-eyed caretaker who was currently propped up on an elbow as he looked over his sated, pale lover with crystal-lavender eyes.
Itachi chuckled at Neji's comment and asked curiously, "Why say that?"
Neji turned his head to look lovingly at Itachi, a small smile adorning his kiss-swollen lips as he replied, "Because I'd wanted to do that with you ever since I first saw you…"
Itachi's stomach fluttered for a brief moment at Neji's rationale as he continued peering into luminous lavender, seeing nothing but whole-hearted sincerity, before he licked his dry lips and mused aloud solemnly, "I love you."
"I love you, too, Itachi," Neji smiled again as both men kissed each others' lips before Neji snuggled in close to Itachi's side; the Uchiha affectionately wrapping an arm around his lover to keep him close and warm.
Suddenly, Neji commented playfully to Itachi's chest, "Aren't your sheets getting ruined right now?"
At this, Itachi could not help but laugh out loud, a rich, melodic timber that made Neji unconsciously smile and laugh right along with such a jovial sound from his lover.
"Sheets can be washed; I wanted to make sure that your first time with me…was memorable," Itachi confessed to his lover currently lying by his side and cutely burying his nose into his chest as he sought out to be even closer to his raven-haired caretaker and love of his life.
"It was…I loved it," Neji also confessed, his fatigue steadily giving way to a pleasant and welcoming drowsiness that added a familiar weight to his eyelids and muscles; a simple lull to his every fiber that the Hyuuga was extremely willing to accept in light of how he was certain he had never known such a state of carefree ease and stability.
Neji never wanted to leave the warmth and security of Itachi's arms again.
"Neji…you're mine, right? Tell me you're not going to just pick up and leave," Itachi suddenly asked, his voice lowering at the end of his statement, signaling how much distress even the prospect brought him as he unconsciously squeezed Neji tighter to his body.
Upon hearing Itachi's grave but fearful words, Neji shooed away his tiredness as he lifted his head up and met Itachi's coal-black gaze with his stern, unwavering one.
"I would never do that…" Neji stated evenly, not once breaking eye contact with his handsome lover, as he brought a pale hand up to his tanned face and carefully brushed some black strands of his long, glossy hair away from his eyes, "…how could I ever walk through that door without you? I love you, Itachi…I'm yours."
His hand still gently resting on the sharp contours of Itachi's cheek, Neji lowered his face down to his and placed a soft, tender kiss to his lover's perfect lips, making the Uchiha relax against his every touch and spoken syllable of reassurance despite not knowing how, in reality, Itachi was trying to verbally guarantee that he would not be left again by someone he loved.
"Thank God," Itachi commented as Neji rested his forehead against his and just held him close, quietly savoring everything he was, everything that he had hoped for that was now within his grasp.
"When did you know that you love me?" Neji inquired with a bit of a smile pulling at his lips as he posed his somewhat cheeky question to his lover who still had his eyes closed in a somber and worn-out display.
Itachi did not open his weary eyes but smiled sadly at the somewhat painful memory before he replied with quiet, honest words that he, himself, had not even mentioned aloud prior to this.
"Ever since I treated you in the emergency room…I knew I had to take care of you, and when I found myself asking why, I realized…it was because I had feelings for you. I didn't want to see you hurt, and, most of all, I wanted to see you smile…for me," Itachi said, his own smile spreading across his strong features as he confessed something so dear and so profound while he still continued to keep his heavy eyes shut as a draining exhaustion was succeeding in claiming the better of him, allowing him to slip into a deep, peaceful slumber where he would experience a wonderful, joyous dream about his family and smiling baby brother again.
