According To You.

ItaHina

Hinata smiled as she made her way up the steps to hers and Naruto's apartment. She carried the bags in her grasp carefully as she didn't want to spill the food or drinks. One step at a time she made her way up the three tiers or stairs to her front door. Every single step she took, her smile faded a bit. Something felt... off. Perhaps it was the heat from the ramen that was making her uneasy, or maybe the stress of trying not to drop six scalding bowls of it on her. She didn't know.

She took light tentative steps towards her from door, and she frowned as she moved to set the bags down, the door was cracked. Her brows knitted together as she gently pushed open the door. Perhaps Naruto had left it cracked for her just in case. They were in a relatively safe neighborhood after all. Her lips pressed together as she slipped her eyes shut. She made her way through the apartment and the sound she heard was not of Naruto playing the game like he usually was when she got home. But then again, she had gotten home earlier than normal today. She had wanted to surprise him and show up early with the food she promised.

She set the food down on the table and then she made her way over to the bedroom door. Anxious fingers wrapped around the knob of the closed door. The sound of their bed creaking was what had gotten her attention in the first place. She slipped the door open, and her heart shattered as she saw what was going on. A brown-haired woman she had never met before was... riding Naruto. Naruto had his eyes shut and his hands on the woman's hips as he thrust up into her swiftly. Hinata tore her eyes from the scene before her and took off running.

She snatched her keys off the kitchen counter, accidentally snagging the bags of food and tearing them off the counter. They crashed all over the floor and splattered her, but she kept going. She needed to get away. She took one look at the bedroom door that Naruto was stumbling out of with a blanket wrapped around his hips. She took one look at him before she fled the apartment. The only sound that echoed behind her was her name as he yelled it after her.

She stumbled down the stairs, colliding with the railing. She winced but continued to make her way down the steps. She knew she was probably going to have bruised ribs, but she could only contribute it to her own clumsiness. She placed a hand over her aching ribs as she swiftly slipped into her car and drove off, seeing him standing there in her rearview mirror. She wanted to cry, wanted to punch the steering wheel, wanted to scream her lungs out, but she didn't. She couldn't.

She reached over and tapped on the touch screen of her car. "C-call Sasuke." she said, and the car asked her if she wanted to call Sasuke Uchiha. "Yes." she said, her voice wavering softly. She needed to see her friend. It started to ring, and she held with bated breath as she waited to see if he would answer her call. "Hinata?" he asked, and she released the breath she held, albeit shakily. "Sasuke... can I come stay for a while?" she asked, and he was silent for a moment.

"How long, and what happened?" he asked, and she bit her lip to hold back the tears once more. "I um... I need to stay a few days at least... until I can find somewhere else to live." she said this softly, so she didn't know what had happened. "You can stay with me and Sakura for as long as you need." he said and she nodded softly, knowing full well he couldn't see her. "Thank you..." she said, and Sasuke sighed softly, but she could hear the ruffling of fabric. "What happened Hinata?" Sakura asked and Hinata tried her hardest not to cry all over again.

"I'll tell you when I get there." she said, and they both sighed. "Do we need alcohol?" Sakura asked and Hinata contemplated this for a moment, gripping the steering wheel lightly. "Yes. And... I need you to not tell anyone that I'm with you." she said softly and the two were silent for a moment. "Ok, Hinata. I will go out and get the alcohol. Sakura will give you some of her clothes if they'll fit, and we can get this all sorted out." Sasuke said and she bit her lip once more.

"Thank you very much." She could hear the sadness in her own voice, so she hung up, not wanting them to hear the sob that escaped her. She turned onto their street and saw their cars in the driveway. She pulled up around their cars and parked her car in the carport around the back where they told her to whenever she needed to hide for a bit. She gripped the steering wheel as she bit back yet another sob. Her car door was opened, and Sasuke reached in and grabbed her wrists and gently pulled them off the steering wheel. He wrapped them around his neck as he pulled her out of the car.

When he got her halfway out of the car, he lifted her up bridal style and she clutched herself to him as her shoulders shook, tears streaming down her face now. Through her bleary vision, she could see his saddened eyes, as well as Sakura reaching to brush her hair out of her face. "Oh Hinata..." Sakura whispered softly as Sasuke carried her past the pinkette. He carried her into the house and set her down on the couch, but she locked her arms around his neck and cried as she hugged him tightly.

Once she had finally calmed down some, she let him go. "I'm so sorry..." She sobbed and he ruffled her hair. They had known each other since they were babies, so he may have comforted her at least a thousand times before. She rubbed her eyes, only to then bury her face into her hands and sob loudly. She had been so in love with Naruto... She had wanted the world with him. Her heart was shattering in her chest and there was nothing she could do about it.

"So, tell me what he did this time." Sasuke said and she bit her lip to bite back the sobs once more. This time... he had hurt her before, and she had called Sasuke to cry it out with him and Sakura that time too. Last time he had been texting someone and that was the extent of it. She had only caught him because he had been messaging her on the computer and had forgotten to close out the messages.

She forgave him that time because he promised he would stop texting the other woman. But she never thought he had. "I caught him... with another woman in my bed..." She whispered and Sasuke cursed under his breath as he stood. She could hear the clenching of his fists and she reached and grabbed him around his wrist with both hands. "Please don't leave me." She whispered and he sat back down. "What the fuck is wrong with him?" He bit out and she shook her head.

It was about thirty minutes later when Sakura had returned and was leaning against the front door, hanging off the frame. "Wanna come help?" She asked and the two of them nodded. Hinata stood up and Sakura shook her head. "No, if he drives by and sees you, he's going to ruin all of our night even more than he already has. Sasuke is just going to tell me what happened, so I don't get you all stirred up again, ok?" Sakura said and Hinata nodded. She didn't want to start crying again, so she fiddled with her fingers as they carried in a crate and a half full of a variety of alcohol, while a third person carried in some of the food items that Sakura had bought.

She looked up and locked eyes with the man that had followed them in. "Hinata." He greeted her, so she tried to smile at him, but she knew it looked fake. "Itachi." She greeted and he twitched his lips up at her ever so slightly. His eyes were unreadable, but she knew he and Sasuke both worried for her. She fiddled with her fingers once more, then stood and made her way over to her phone ringing. "Don't you dare answer him." Itachi ordered softly, to which she nodded and ignored the call. She still picked her phone up off the table and hooked it up to the bluetooth speaker.

The moment it beeped signaling she had connected to it, she put on some music. Itachi quirked a brow at her for her music choice but said nothing as she turned it up. "Hey, I hear 'IamJakeHill'!" She knew that voice as well. It was Kisame, Itachi's best friend. He stepped through the doorway, and she forced a smile at him. Her smile spread a bit when he started dancing to the song 'Hate Me.' She briefly wondered how many people were going to be there because of how much alcohol Sakura bought.

She asked Sakura this question away from everyone else and the pink haired woman smiled. "Just you, me, Sasuke and Itachi." She said and Hinata nodded. She didn't want the whole Akatsuki knowing about hers and Naruto's business. Mainly because the last time she had been to a party with them, Hidan had kissed her, and Naruto had found out, after Itachi had punched him, of course. She didn't know what was wrong with the silver haired man, but he was an odd one to say the least.

Back then she had been so shy she panicked when he had leaned in close enough to kiss her. She had fainted right after and then when she woke up Hidan had apologized to her with a fist sized bruise on his cheek. She glanced over at the elder Uchiha male. She was grateful for him standing up for her that day, because she surely hadn't been able to do it herself. She looked back to Sakura and Sasuke who were setting the table up with the buffet of food she had acquired.

Sakura was dancing while she set up the food, so Hinata walked over to join them while Itachi propped up on the couch with a bottle of whiskey and a small glass. She watched as he plunked a couple of ice cubes in the cup and started to pour Naruto tried calling three more times and she glared at the phone. She ignored him every time. Her eyes went wide when she realized she was sharing her location with him. She rushed to her settings and saw that he was on the way already. She stopped sharing her location with him, but knew he still already knew where she was at.

"Shit." That's why you don't do stuff like that Hinata... she cursed herself. Soon enough there was a knock on the door. She made her way over to the door and opened it with a frown. "Hinata..." He started and she slipped her eyes shut, she didn't want to hear his excuses. "I will be coming to get my things tomorrow. Please don't be there." she said and moved to close the door, but he slammed his palm on the door to keep it open.

She was doing everything in her power to not cry, but the longer she looked at him the more her heart broke. "She doesn't mean anything to me, Hinata. I love you..." he said, and she once more tried to shut the door, but he wouldn't let her. He just kept pushing back against the door. "Naruto... please... I don't want to talk about this right now." she said, and he frowned. "But will you talk to me? You know I love you." he said and reached to touch her cheek, but she flinched away.

"I don't think I can do that. I don't want to talk it out anymore." she said, and his lip twitched up into an annoyed sneer. He leaned close to her, and his eyes darkened. "You will never find anyone better. Have fun with MY best friends, though. Just remember that you always come crawling back." He hissed at her, and her eyes welled up with tears. "I believe the lady said for you to go." Itachi said softly, his voice coming from right over her shoulder. How long had he been there listening? "Of course... her white knight, all the damn time butting in where you don't belong." He said before he turned to walk away.

She wondered about this for a moment, but before Naruto had fully gotten a few feet away, she called out to him. "Naruto." She pulled the engagement ring off her finger and launched it at him. It was a cheap piece of shit anyways. He turned to come back with a burning rage on his face at having been hit with the ring. Before he could get to her, Itachi slammed the door shut in his face. His red eyes locked with hers and he frowned. "Are you ok?" he asked, and she felt her lip twitch. And then the dam broke all over again. He grabbed her and pulled her into him, allowing her to cry into his chest.

"He was a piece of shit anyways." he mumbled softly, and she looked up at him as he pulled away from her, only for him to motion for her to make her way to the couch. "Thank you." she said softly as she rubbed her eyes of her tears once more. She slipped onto the couch, and he made his way back over to her. The man was quiet for the most part, she knew this, so she wasn't going to pressure him into a conversation.

While she had grown more vocal in the last few years dealing with Naruto and everything that he has put her through, she still was more comfortable in the silence. She watched as he slipped onto the couch beside her. He started sipping his whiskey, not a single facial expression as he did so. The twenty-eight-year-old man was as stoic as ever, but he held a kindness for her that she had always known he had possessed.

She sighed and looked back down to her hands; she didn't know what to say to him either way. Even if she had wanted to hold a conversation with him, she didn't know how to begin. "Hinata?" his voice came down to her and she glanced up to him. "Would you mind playing a game of cards with me?" he asked, a deck of cards in his hand. A small smile tugged at the edges of her lips, and she nodded. She had to admit, this was relaxing. The music drifted on in the background while their fingers brushed over cards as they set them down to go against each other. He won the first round of war, while she won the second and third.

There was no way to let the other win, it just depended on the cards you were dealt. She smiled up at him as she placed her next car down, but a smirk tugged at his lips as he sat his card down, face down as well. They counted to three and flipped their cards. He won and she narrowed her eyes at him. She wasn't going to let him again, especially since he smirked that way. He knew he was going to win.

They Played a few more rounds and he won overall. "Ugh. Not fair." She sighed and handed him all the cards so he could shuffle them and put them in the box once more. He was soon making him his fourth drink of the night and she watched him carefully. He raised a brow at her and offered the drink to her. "Want to try?" he asked, and a small blush dusted her cheeks pink. She nodded and he handed his glass to her. She lifted it to her lips and took a sip, her face scrunching up in distaste for the burning sensation. A chuckle escaped him as he took the glass back and pressed it to his lips and drank without a single facial expression.

His eyes slipped to watch her out of the corner of his eye, so she blushed and looked down to her lap. He had caught her staring once more. She didn't know what had come over her in that moment, normally she could watch him without him noticing but she was very obvious about it today for some reason. She turned to stand, and he brushed his fingers over her wrist gently, causing her to freeze. "You don't have to go." he said softly, and she nodded.

Her eyes met his once more and his were swimming with some emotion she hadn't seen in his eyes before, so she didn't know what it was. She looked down to where his hand rested gently on her wrist and she smiled. They were snapped out of their moment by a heavy box thudding on the table. Hinata jolted and pulled her arm away from Itachi, feeling like she had been caught doing something she wasn't supposed to. That was when her eyes landed on the box before her. She sent Sakura a questioning look, who only grinned at her. A sigh escaped Itachi's lips and he sipped his drink once more.

A second box dropped onto the table and Hinata's eyes widened. She had never played that game before, but she had heard about it. Do or drink, or Cards against humanity: Nasty bundle. Those were her choices. She blushed as Itachi tapped on the 'Do or Drink' box. She looked over at him wide eyed and he only offered a small smile. Sasuke put his hand on the same box, while Hinata slapped her hand to the cards against humanity box. Sakura smiled sadly at her but placed her hand on the same box as the brothers.

Hinata deflated as the large box was set underneath the table. "I mean if you want to do something else, we have sex truth or dare cards." Sakura said nonchalantly and Hinata's face flooded red. "N-no... I think I'm ok." She said and Sakura smiled. "Don't worry. If you don't want to do something on the card, you just have to drink." Itachi said with a small upturn of the lips, and she nodded once more. She would play this game with them.

Four shot glasses were placed before them and filled with tequila. Hinata cursed immediately, causing the group to look at her funny. She never cursed honestly, but this was warranted. She couldn't hold her tequila very well. Naruto had learned that she got very flirty. "Ok..." She said, making Sasuke chuckle. She watched as they pulled out the cards, shuffled them and set them in one deck, black and red cards mixed in randomly through the stack. "Hinata, it goes you, me, then Sasuke, and Sakura. Red cards are worth two points, black one." Itachi said and she nodded.

She glared at the red card sitting on top of the stack. She placed her fingers on it and pulled it out of the stack. She flipped it over and a sigh escaped her lips. "Um... It says take three shots." she said and Sasuke sighed, as did Sakura. Hinata narrowed her eyes. Something was up with the two of them and she wanted to know what it was. Itachi was just watching her silently as she downed the first shot with ease, the second following soon after, and the third she coughed after she took it.

Itachi reached over and prodded her forehead with two fingers, making her blush lightly. He pulled the second card, a black one, and chuckled. "Sit on the lap of the person to your left for the entire next round or drink twice." He said and Hinata blushed as she saw his gaze skirt over to her. "I've already had my fair share of drinks before this so, I do apologize Hinata." He said and she flushed even darker as he scooted closer to her and draped his legs over her lap, then he scooted his hips atop her legs and settled in. They played for almost two hours before they said they were going to do the final round.

Hinata was currently sitting in Itachi's lap because she had gotten the reverse card of Itachi's sit in lap card. She pulled her next card and her face flushed dark red, not that her face wasn't already red because of how much she had drank, but you get the gist. "Come on Hinata, do it. You've drank for every other red card you had; you're going to kill your liver." Sakura sighed and Hinata frowned, but looked at itachi and the others once more. "Spin a bottle, make out with the person it lands on, or take five shots." She whispered and Sakura snorted and made a kissy face at her.

"It's the last card you get so you might as well do it." Sakura said, only to make a smooching noise at her once more. Hinata set the bottle of tequila on its side and spun it. It landed on herself, so she sighed in relief. "Doesn't count." Sasuke said, much to her horror, and he spun it again. It landed on her once more and Sasuke reached for the bottle once more, but a hand gently grabbed her cheek and turned her face. Her eyes widened as Itachi pressed his lips to hers. She knew she was going to have to kiss someone, but she surely wasn't expecting Itachi to willingly kiss her.

She slipped her eyes shut and her lips moved against his gently, but as swiftly as they had started, his lips pulled away from hers and he returned to sipping his drink silently. His fingers brushed over the next card in the deck and pulled it up to look at it. It was yet another black card. "What is the craziest thing you have done while intoxicated, reveal it or take four shots." he sighed, and he looked at the group. Hinata was curious about this one. He sighed and finished the rest of his whiskey that he had been sipping in between matches.

"I suppose it would be that I had confessed my feelings to someone." he said and Hinata smiled, but her heart sank, she knew he was still single so whoever he had told this to didn't want him back. "When did you do-" Sasuke started to ask, but Sakura slapped a hand over his mouth and whispered something in his ear, making his eyes widen slightly. Hinata watched this interaction with confusion on her features. Her vision was starting to get fuzzy, so she knew she wasn't going to last much longer. Sasuke grabbed the next card, which was also a black card and sighed and buried his face in his hands.

"Let the group look through your last text message or drink." he sighed and Hinata frowned. Itachi tensed up and he looked over at his younger brother with wide eyes. She wondered what had caused the brothers to react this way, but she was going to see in just a moment. "Just read it out loud." Itachi sighed and Sasuke frowned as he looked over at Her. He opened his mouth to speak, but Sakura took one look at the phone and shook her head. Hinata was so confused by all three of them and their reactions.

"Sasuke told Itachi what Naruto did to you." She said and Hinata nodded. She didn't understand what was so bad about that. She figured he already knew since he hadn't been bringing it up. She looked back to Sakura, who looked slightly uneasy. "Is it cruel of me to be happy they're finally breaking up?" Sakura read off and Hinata's eyes drifted over to Itachi, who was looking away from her. His eyes were slipped shut and he was drinking from his whiskey once more, except he was doing so straight out of the bottle.

"'I... Itachi?" She called, hurt swimming in her eyes. The moment he met her gaze, he stood up and made his way over to the front door. "I'll see myself out." he whispered, and she parted her lips slightly but couldn't find the words to say. "Good night, everyone, I'm going to walk home." he said, and she watched as he slipped out the front door. "'I... I don't understand... why would he want me and Naruto to break up?" she asked and Sasuke frowned.

"You might want to go after him, Hinata." Sasuke said and she stood and rushed over to the door. She swung it open and saw that he was slowly making his way down the sidewalk. She stumbled down the steps and chased after him. "Itachi." she called, but he didn't slow his pace. She stumbled once more and smacked into his back, causing them both to stumble. "Be careful Hinata..." he sighed softly, and she frowned.

"Why would you want me to leave Naruto?" she asked, and he frowned as he turned to look at her, gently prying her fingers off his wrist. "Hinata... I don't mean any harm by that... I just..." he sighed but finished what he was saying. "I just want you to be happy. You weren't happy with him..." he said this softly and she frowned up at him. "Is this how you are admitting you love me?" She asked jokingly but he leaned down to her level and smirked. "I already did that." he said, and her cheeks flushed darkly. His fingers rushed over her cheek to land at the back of her neck, only for him to press his lips to hers once more. S jolt flew through her chest and her eyes went wide.

He pulled away gently and her heart was racing. "Goodnight Hinata..." He said and she frowned as she reached for him once more. "Go back to them. You can take all the time you need to let me know what you decide." he said softly and she nodded. "I don't want you choosing me because I kissed you and you are heartbroken. I made a horrible decision to do this when I did, but I couldn't help it." he said and she frowned.

He walked her back to the house and ushered her inside. He closed the door as soon as she was inside, making her frown and lean her back against the door. She had never known he had felt this way for her... she had always been so head over heels in love with Naruto that it had never occurred to her that he could have loved her. She slid down the door and sighed as a plate of food was brought over to her. "Are you ok?" Sasuke asked as he crouched in front of her. Tears welled up in her eyes and she bit her lip. She had ignored Itachi and his feelings for years and she hadn't realized it.

She felt horrible.

But it explained why he had punched Hidan so hard.

:-:-:-:-:

Itachi sighed as he strolled down the street. He had wanted to be discreet in his admission, but it seemed the fates had a different idea in mind with that damnable card game. A small smile twitched at his lips. He did get to use it as an excuse to kiss her though, so he wasn't angry about that in the slightest. It was Sasuke pulling that damn card. He was hoping she hadn't gotten to read the rest of the messages, especially since his younger brother embarrassed the shit out of him in that message. He slipped his eyes shut once more, the feeling of her lips on his lingered there.

His fingers brushed over his lips and he sighed. He was pleased with himself for his restraint even though drunk, he didn't want to pressure her into something so soon after she was traumatized. His phone beeped and he looked down to see that it was his brother. 'She's crying.' was all he said in the text. He turned and was about to run back to her, but he stopped in his tracks. What if she didn't want him to come back? What if she were crying because he had kissed her? A frown tainted his lips, and he pulled his foot back to turn around and continue heading home. That was until he received another text. 'She's upset because she did to you what Naruto did to her all those years.'

His eyes were saddened as he read that. 'Tell her she has nothing to be ashamed of, she didn't know, and I never tried to tell her before.' he sent back and sighed. He was about to start walking home once more, but then his chest tightened as he read the next message. 'She says she wants you to come back.' He slipped his eyes shut and sighed, his breath making itself known in the chilly night air. He turned and started back towards Sasuke's house. He made his way up to the front door and reached to knock, but the door tentatively cracked open. Sasuke was trying to be silent when he opened the door it seemed.

He slipped inside to see her on the couch with her knees pulled up to her chest and her face buried into her knees. "If you don't calm down and stop crying, you're going to throw up." He said softly and she snapped her head up to look at him. He felt his heartbeat thumping in his throat as she watched him. He made his way over to her and she stood and took off towards the bathroom. He sighed and made his way into the room with her. She was indeed throwing up. He sat beside her and pulled her hair back.

His ears tuned out the sound by using the feeling of her hair as a distraction. "I'm so disgusting..." she whimpered into the toilet and he chuckled upon hearing that. His fingers trailed through her soft hair and pulled it further out of her face. "You'll never be disgusting in my eyes." he said softly and she turned to look at him with wide eyes. He jabbed her forehead with two fingers once more and he watched as her lip trembled. He wanted nothing more than to meet her lips once more, but he knew better than that right now. He knew she would forever be traumatized if he kissed her when she had her head in the toilet.

His eyes slipped shut and he sighed as he thought about it. The idea didn't seem so appealing because she was throwing up, after all. That was when she turned and wrapped her arms around him. His eyes softened as she buried her face into his chest. He reached up and began patting her head gently. He leaned down and kissed the top of her head. When he pulled away she looked up at him with half lidded eyes. She leaned up to him, but before she could press her lips to his he bundled his fingers in her hair and gently tilted her head back. He kissed her cheek, then trailed gentle kisses down her neck.

"Not tonight, Hinata." he whispered against her smooth skin and she shuddered against his lips. "Just be patient." he said softly and she nodded. She released herself from him and he stood, offering her a hand to help her up. She gently took it and stumbled into him. He wrapped his arms around her and just hugged her to him as they stood there in the bathroom. The way she was looking at him made him think she could possibly feel the same way as he did, but he wanted to make sure it wasn't just the alcohol talking instead of her.

He released her and stepped away, pulling Sasuke's bathroom drawer open and pulling a toothbrush out of the unopened pack. He handed it to her and a tube of toothpaste and she blushed. "Thank you..." she whispered and he chuckled as she put toothpaste on the brush and started brushing away. He chuckled when she turned and smiled at him brightly. He pulled the hair tie from his hair and offered it to her. She blushed and used it to pull her hair into a messy bun. She looked up at him once more and he smiled softly down at her. Even drunk off her ass he still thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

She looked up at him once more and he just scanned her features, searching for anything that could tell him how he was feeling. His head was starting to swim, and he needed to sit down. "Come on, Hinata." he said and gently grabbed her wrist. "Bedtime." he said, and she pouted up at him. He took her down the hall to the bedroom they had set aside for her, and he slipped open the door. He ushered her inside and she made her way over to the bed. She unzipped her jacket and started to slip it off her shoulders slowly, looking back at him from over her shoulder.

He swallowed nervously as the button-up blouse she had been wearing from work fell from her shoulders as well. She was wearing a thin tank top and her skinny jeans now. He slipped his eyes shut the moment he heard the button from her pants get undone. He didn't know if he had the self-control for this. "You can look now." she said, and he slipped open his eyes to see she was wearing a pair of Sakura's shorts now. He made his way over to her and she looked up at him as her fingers bunched themselves in his black shirt.

"I'm not going to sleep with you." he managed, and she nodded at him, still not removing her hands from his shirt. "I want-" "Hinata... you can't trust what you want right now." he chided gently, and she looked back down to where her hands were bundled in his shirt. She then took a step backwards and used her body weight to pull him with her. He caught himself by pulling his knee up and throwing his hands out to land on the bed. His hands were on both sides of her head and his knee was propped between her thighs. He met her gaze and she tugged on him once more.

She was trying to bring him closer, and he knew if he got too close, he might not be able to release her. He watched as she leaned up to meet his pursed lips. The moment their lips connected he ducked down and pressed his lips harder to hers, forcing her head back on the mattress. Her lips parted to move against his and he darted his tongue in to taste hers. His left hand reached and placed itself on her cheek, rubbing little strokes on her cheek as they kissed.

"Itachi..." His brother called from the door and he released her. "I know, I'm not going to. Don't worry." he said and his brother nodded and left, leaving the door wide open. "At least... at least would you sleep in here with me? I don't want to be alone..." she whispered and he nodded. "I can do that." he said and she smiled at him. He stripped himself of his open jacket and set it at the foot of the bed. His shoes were kicked off and left beside the foot of the bed frame. He reached and pulled his socks off, leaving them inside his shoes.

He watched as she crawled beneath the covers. He flipped back the blanket and made his way into the bed with her. He set his head on the pillow and closed his eyes, allowing his mind to wander. He honestly didn't want to stop, he wanted to kiss her, he wanted more with her... but he knew she would probably either not remember everything or wake up in a panic if she woke up fully nude in a bed with him. He felt her moving so he pretended like he was already asleep. He knew he probably wouldn't stop himself if they kept going. Her leg slipped over him, brushing against him in the process and his eyes snapped open.

She wasn't trying to straddle him, she was just trying to get comfortable and cuddle him, it seemed. He closed his eyes once more as her arm forced its way under his pillow, the other one resting on his chest. She waited a moment then scooted closer and placed her head on his chest, allowing him to wrap an arm around her waist. He wanted nothing more than to just lay here with her forever. He wanted this to be where she lay for the rest of time, happy and content with him and only him.

"Itachi?" She called softly and he repressed a chuckle at the slur in her tone. "Hm?" She leaned up and looked him in the eyes. "When did you fall in love with me?" she asked and he frowned. He knew he couldn't answer that honestly. He had watched her grow up alongside his younger brother. He was disgusted with himself for having feelings for a ten-year-old at sixteen, so he had started to avoid her. He was able to tell that this hurt her all the way up to now, seeing as he only saw her in passing until she turned eighteen, then he started to see her more. He hated being six years older than her...

He hated being older than her period. He couldn't very well admit when he realized he had fallen in love with her because she would probably be turned away. "I'm not sure." he said, and she frowned at him, he knew she didn't believe him. The twenty-eight-year-old was disgusted with himself for even being in this predicament in the first place, he should have just kept his secret feelings and took it to the grave with him. Now it was out in the open and he didn't know what either of their parents would think.

"You know... I had a crush on you when I was little..." she whispered, and his chest tightened. "I just... I always wanted to be near you. I wanted to tell you, then suddenly you started hanging out with Kisame and I didn't see you much... I had you as my crush forever, but I tried to move on because I didn't think you would ever feel the same." She whispered as she buried her face into his chest. "I told Sasuke this when we were little, and he called me gross." She sighed as she started fiddling with his hair that was resting on his shoulder. "It's because it is Hinata... I shouldn't feel this way for someone so much younger than me." he said, and she looked up at him, not once removing her head from his chest.

"My father is fourteen years older than my mother." she said, and his eyes widened slightly. "That doesn't make it ok, they met as adults, Hinata. They didn't grow up together. I held you as a baby for God's sake." He groaned, and she giggled. "Perhaps I was born to be with you." she said in amusement, and he rolled his eyes. "Go to sleep." he grunted, and she nodded against his chest. She slipped her eyes shut and he felt her whole body relax. Soon enough he heard her start to snore.

He slipped his own eyes shut and drifted off as well, his dreams littered with the woman laying on him.

When he woke up, he had Sakura and Sasuke standing there with their arms crossed over their chests. "I didn't do anything." he grunted, not wanting to be awake, but having only woke up because he was a light sleeper, and they didn't step quietly. That was when he had noticed her hand had trailed up his shirt during the night. Sakura seemed to think the situation was cute, so she took a picture. Sasuke was just amused with his situation of being a tangle of limbs with the young woman he absolutely loved.

"Hinata..." He called and her eyes fluttered open slowly. She looked at the two in the room with half-lidded eyes for a moment, only for a deep blush to cross her cheeks and she slowly untangled their limbs from one another. She didn't immediately scramble out of the bed though, so he was still hopeful she remembered everything from the night before. "Itachi, I'm so sorry." she whispered, and he chuckled as he sat up. "I was the one who confessed to you, why should you be apologizing?" he asked in amusement, but that was when he noticed she was looking at her phone.

He gently took her phone and looked at the images she had been sent. Throughout the night Sasuke and Sakura had taken pictures of them without them knowing and sent them all to Hinata. He sighed and looked through the pictures. In each and every one of them he could tell just from looking at them how much he loved her. It was the way he would touch her face ever so gently when he had to give her a shot from his own mouth the glass held gently between his lips as he upturned it into her mouth. He had done this with his eyes closed so he hadn't seen how she was looking at him as well.

She had kept sneaking glances through the night as he sat on her lap, and then again when she had had to sit on his. Her fingers were always reaching for him in every picture. They were hovering over his cheek in the one where he was giving her the shot. He would say he was embarrassed that he hadn't noticed them taking the pictures, but he was grateful they did because he could tell from the pictures that she wanted him too, and most of the pictures were from before he had even kissed her.

"Why are you apologizing?" he asked in amusement once more and a deep blush covered her cheeks. "I love you, even if you-" he didn't even get to finish his sentence before her lips had crashed to his once more. His gaze softened on her as she pulled back and scrambled out of the bed. To which he grabbed her wrist before she could get fully away. He pulled her in and hugged her tightly. "Thank you." he said as he pressed his lips to her hand.

"F-for what?" she asked, and he offered her a sad smile. "For not thinking I'm a creep for being in love with you." he said, and she stepped a little bit closer to him. "I would never think you're a creep. I thought I was delusional for having a crush on you all my life..." she whispered, and Sakura gushed over this revelation. "Aww you two are so damn cute!" she gushed, and he sighed, releasing Hinata's wrist. She looked back to him as he adjusted in the bed to get ready to get up. He might as well, his head was pounding now.

"Breakfast is on the table with Tylenol and something to drink." Sasuke called as he followed Hinata and Sakura out of the room. He sighed as he slipped out of the bed and made his way downstairs. When he entered the dining room, Hinata had her feet propped up in his chair, as if saving it for him. He repressed his chuckle of amusement as he watched her eat her food so daintily. He made his way over to her and she pulled her feet from his chair right beside her.

He had a feeling that the three of them were going to ensure he sat next to her even though there were plenty of free seats at the large table. He sat down and started eating his breakfast her foot bushed against his and he stole a quick glance at her, a deep rosy blush lingered on her cheeks. He chuckled lightly and her head snapped to him, only for him to tuck her hair behind her ear. She looked down and smiled softly.

Sakura and Sasuke were watching them intently. He knew his brother was trusting him not to hurt her, and that was the absolute last thing he would ever do to her. He watched her as she picked at his food, and he smiled softly. "Hinata... would you want to go hang out with me on Friday?" he asked, and her head shot up. She nodded rapidly and he chuckled. "Good to know." he said with a soft smile. Her whole mood was through the roof, and it was noticeable. He popped the pills that were set aside for him into his mouth, and he swallowed them using the glass of orange juice beside him.

He glanced back at her, and she was finishing her food. He finished his rather swiftly and cleared his dishes in the sink. "I will be back on Friday; dress code is however you feel." he mused, and she nodded with a big smile on her face. He liked seeing her so happy, it made his soul happy knowing he was the cause of her joy. "Sasuke, you and Sakura feel free to invite anyone you want and come along. Meet me at the Akatsuki." he said, and they nodded.

"I'm going to head home for now, I will see you all later." He said and they nodded, although Hinata was staring at him with sadness in her eyes. He knew she didn't want him to leave. "I have work tomorrow and some things I need to get done today, but it's just five days." He mused and this did nothing to cheer her up. He started towards the door, only to stop and see if she was coming. As if seeing what he wanted she stood and rushed after him.

They stepped outside and he closed the door softly behind them. Before she could even react, he slipped his hand around the back of her neck and pulled her to him. Her eyes went wide as he pressed his lips to hers ever so gently, just a ghosting of a kiss across her lips. "I hope you will take the time to think on if you genuinely want a relationship with me. I am in no way pressuring you to be with me, I just couldn't sit back and watch you get hurt anymore. I wanted you to know I was an option as well." he said softly as he brushed his nose over hers gently.

"Thank you for telling me. I do have a lot to think about." She said softly, before she closed the distance between them once more in a small chaste kiss. He stepped away from her and turned to leave but he stopped and looked over his shoulder at her. "Please text me if you need anything. Or even if you just want to talk." he said, and she smiled with a nod. He offered her a half wave as he stuck his hands in his pockets and made his way down the sidewalk towards his house. It wasn't too far of a walk, so he didn't mind.

He strolled up to his door and pulled his keys out of his pocket. Before he could even insert the key into the lock, the door swung open and Kisame let him in. He looked around and noticed that all of his friends were crammed onto his couch, except Konan, who was sitting in Yahiko's lap in his recliner. He raised a brow at everyone in the room. "So come on man spill the fucking beans. Where the fuck were you last night? You were supposed to come back here after a while." Hidan called out with a smirk on his lips.

Kisame was interested in what he had to say as well, which made him sigh as he pushed into his own home. "I was with my brother, his girlfriend and a... friend." he said and he cursed himself at the pause, he hoped none of them noticed it. Kisame knew who else he was with, which made the blue man raise a brow. "Did you...?" he started, but a quick glare cut him off. "No." he said simply and Kisame sighed deeply.

"Did you at least confess?" the larger male whispered, and he glared at him once more. "Why are you so concerned with my life like that?" he grumbled as he made his way into his kitchen. "Because you're my friend and I want you to be happy." he said, and Itachi sighed. He could understand where the older man was coming from with that, but he didn't feel like the entire group needed to know about his possibly nonexistent love life.

He looked down to his phone upon hearing it go off, only to see that it was his brother. He tapped on the message box to see that it was a picture of them kissing. He backed out of the picture as swiftly he had pulled it up, but he knew it was too late as Kisame started laughing. The man didn't snatch the phone like Itachi thought he was going to though. "What's so funny in here?" Konan asked with a small smile as she stepped around the table to get to them.

"Nothing, I just made a joke." Kisame said and Konan nodded. "Good, because if you were laughing at something that Itachi will not confirm or deny that happened, we might have to fight." Konan said with a frown. Only for a smile to tug at her lips ever so slightly as she reached up and pulled his free hair over his shoulders. "Because we all know Itachi doesn't lend his hair ties to just anyone." she mused, and he could feel the heat rush to his cheeks ever so slightly. He prayed no one could see his slight blush.

How Konan knew was beyond him, he just guessed it was feminine instinct.

:-:-:-:

She had texted him throughout the week and they had some simple conversations, just asking how the other was doing and simple things like that. Although late at night when both of them were supposed to be sleeping... that was when the conversations started to get deeper. She would go to work exhausted because she would stay up so late texting him. She now knew what she really wanted to do though, there was no doubt about that.

She wanted to be with him.

She glanced back at her phone and smiled when she saw he had messaged her back. 'They made fun of me because I came home without my hair tie.' She released a small laugh at this. The only reason he was telling her this was because they had been talking about his friends and that they were going to be there on Friday night. 'Aww, why did they do that?' she asked and set her phone down. She continued grading her papers and smiled as her phone went off.

'Because they know you're the only one I give it to.' he said, and she blushed. He had talked to his friends about her before? 'You talk to them about me?' she asked, and it took a moment for him to text back. She stared at her phone, her heart pounding in her chest as she waited for him to text. When he did, her heart fluttered in her chest. 'Yes... was I not supposed to?' he asked, and a blush crossed her cheeks.

'No, I wasn't saying that... I just didn't expect them to be invested in your love life.' she said this with a small smile, her heart swelling with pride knowing the man talked about her to his friends. Someone who normally doesn't get into his personal business was talking about their relationship... or their potential relationship. She hadn't told him what she wanted from him yet and she wasn't going to until she could tell him face to face, she wanted to tell him when she could see his reaction.

She smiled down at her phone, she wanted so desperately to see him. 'They're invested in everything related to me seeing anyone. They don't know about anything that happened at Sasuke's though, so you don't have to worry about that.' he said, and she giggled lightly. 'They just want you happy.' she replied and set her phone down. She finished grading her papers and reached to pick her phone back up. 'Hinata... they're just nosey.' he said, and she laughed once more.

'Aww don't say that. They'll probably be super invested in us because they worry about you, like Sakura and Sasuke are with me.' she said and set her phone back down. She froze when she realized she said the word 'US' instead of his relationships. Had she accidentally told him her plans with that little slip up? She didn't know, but the man was incredibly intelligent so he probably will put it together and call her out on it. 'Are you coming tonight?' he asked, and she sighed in relief, it seemed like he had skimmed over that little tidbit thankfully.

'Yeah, I wouldn't miss it for the world.' she said, and she could only picture him sitting there with the slightest hint of a smile on his lips. She wanted nothing more than to kiss him once more. Every time their lips met, he elicited feelings from her she had never felt before, and she was trying to feel that for as long as she could. She really liked him and had held the biggest crush on him since they were children. This was like a dream come true for her.

But... there was a nagging feeling deep in her gut at the same time. The last time she felt like something was a dream come true it was all too good to be true. Her eyes slipped shut and she gripped the chest of her shirt. 'She's so boring. She never does anything but work and bring me food.' 'She's difficult and hard to please and she just... she's useless.' Tears threatened to well up in her eyes. 'She won't sleep with me and she's always doing something. It's like I never get to spend time with her even though we live together.' her head dropped, and she buried her face in her hands as the tears started to fall.

'She's absolutely useless and can't do anything right.' She sobbed softly and rubbed her eyes as the tears flooded over her cheeks. Naruto had told the other woman all of these things and never had the nerve to say it to her face. She never did anything to him, she tried to do everything she could for him, and he still felt like she was inattentive to him. She had tried to sleep with him as well, he just never seemed to realize that's what she was trying to do. She was never good enough for him and that broke her more than anything.

Deep down she wondered if the same thing was going to happen with Itachi, but she was willing to try with him because he had never said a mean thing to her. She felt like she could trust him not to hurt her, but she was still scared. She rubbed her eyes once more, only for her to jump when her phone went off once more. 'Good, I'm glad. I can't wait to see you tonight.' he said, and her lower lip trembled as she pictured his soft smile. The way he looked at her made her feel like the only girl in the world.

There was a knock on her bedroom door, and she wiped her tears away as best she could. "Come in." she called, and the door opened revealing Sakura and Ino with their clothes for tonight. "Hey, we heard you crying, are you ok?" Ino asked and she nodded, she didn't want to bring down the mood. Ino and Sakura sighed, but continued on to do what they were going to do. They made their way to her closet and whipped open the doors.

She looked between Ino and Sakura who were digging through her clothes looking for something. She didn't know what they were looking for exactly as they hadn't told her. "Hinata, you dress like a school teacher." Sakura complained and Hinata couldn't help the blush that crossed her cheeks. "I um... I am a school teacher, though..." She said and the two deadpanned at her. "You need to live a little Hinata. That's ok, because I brought something just in case you didn't have anything for tonight." Ino said and pulled a lavender shirt out of her purse.

Hinata stared in horror at this shirt. It was Ino's signature pick up dudes' shirt. It was relatively close to being a spaghetti strap crop top, except there's a slit down the front that stops two inches above the bottom of the shirt, it had a built-in bra in it, which was a relief, except for the fact it was a fishnet bikini style bra. Her face turned a deep scarlet as the two girls smirked at her. They managed to get her in the shirt, but because Hinata was a little bustier in the boob department the slit was wide open instead of being slightly closed like it was with Ino.

"Beautiful!" Ino exclaimed, throwing a skirt at her. She pulled it on, and it was extremely tight on her, but it was stretchy fabric so it moved with her. The only downside was the fact it was so short. Ino pulled a pair of nice black heels from Hinata's closet and raised a brow at her. "Hinata~ I didn't know you wore heels." She said in a sing song tune and Hinata blushed. "I bought them for special events." she said and Ino tossed them to her.

"Baby, this is a special event. You are going on a date with one so very fine Itachi Uchiha, put them on." She said and Hinata sighed but nodded. "Where are we going again?" She asked and Sakura blinked at her. "You've never been to the Akatsuki?" she asked and Hinata shook her head. "Damn girl, you've been sheltered in your little schoolteacher lifestyle." Ino sighed as she started doing Hinata's hair, pulling the long ebony locks over her shoulders and pinning it back in a princess half ponytail with a sporty braid. Ino pulled out the earrings and offered her some dangly black and lavender opal earrings.

She put them in and smiled at them. "You're not done yet." Sakura said as she pulled out the makeup and pointed at the chair. Hinata sat down and slipped her eyes shut at the two girls set to work on her. When they were finished and pleased with themselves, they pointed her to the mirror. She gasped in surprise, she hardly recognized herself as she leaned to look in the mirror. She had beautifully winged eyeliner she never could have pulled off if she had tried it herself, and lavender eyeshadow that complimented her eyes and the shirt.

Her rosy cheeks were delicate and dainty, while her lips were a stunning shade of ruby red. Ino grinned at her and started getting ready herself. Sakura, however, handed her a see-through shimmering long sleeved mesh coat for her to wear. It didn't hide anything, but it gave her the feeling of hiding so she was grateful to the woman. She slipped it on but didn't fasten it. She didn't want to disappoint the girls by hiding all their hard work.

She smiled at the other women, and they all made their way out of the room and downstairs where Sasuke was waiting for them. "Ladies." He greeted and they all smiled at him. His eyes landed on her, and an amused flicker entered his gaze after the shock wore off. "He isn't going to know what to think." he mused, and she blushed as she folded her hands together. She followed them outside and slipped into the backseat of his car.

The ride over there was silent on her part, but Sasuke was playing music and she thoroughly enjoyed it. "Chase Atlantic?" she asked, and he nodded. She had guessed right. She had heard one song by them before, but not this one. "It's called Consume." he said, and she nodded, it seemed he knew what she was wanting to know. She added it to her Spotify playlist with a smile. When they pulled up to the Akatsuki she bit her lip. She didn't know how this was going to go. She saw Itachi's car sitting in the gated lot and she took a deep breath to calm her nerves. He was already here, so if his friends were here, she wouldn't have to fight off that one silver-haired guy that always flirted with her.

She was grateful for that.

She stepped out of the car, and they made their way up to the front door. The Bouncer checked their ID's and he turned to open the door, but it was flung open before he could do so. Hinata sighed as soon as she saw him. It was Hidan. She stepped inside and he made a move to talk to her, but his eyes darted across the room and backed off the moment he was met with glowing red eyes from the bar. Itachi was staring at her with wide eyes, and she couldn't help but feel like Ino and Sakura's attempt at garnering his attentions was successful.

:-:-:-:

"Damn!" Hidan wolf whistled at something as he swung open the front door. Itachi looked over to see what he was looking at and his heart skipped a beat the moment he saw her. She was stunning. He couldn't help but stare as she made her way over to him, Hidan trailing behind her. That was until he noticed who she was walking towards. His attentions were soon grabbed by the blonde that walked in behind her. He was grateful for the fact the blonde had distracted the man so he wouldn't have to swing on him again.

He looked back at Hinata, to see her coming over to him directly. This caused his friends to all look over to him with curious eyes. He wanted to break his gaze and glare at them so they would mind their own business, but he couldn't tear his eyes off the beautiful woman before him. Her outfit was so much less modest than he was used to, but he had to admire the fact she had dressed this way for him. He liked seeing her feel confident in her own skin.

"Hi..." She said softly and he offered her a small smile. "Hello. You look lovely." He said and she blushed lightly as she twiddled her fingers. He opened his arms to her, and she blinked but rushed to hug him tightly. She squeezed him ever so slightly and he leaned his head down beside his ear. "Have you made your choice?" he asked softly so no one else could hear. She pulled back away from him and didn't say a word, she just pressed her lips to his. His eyes slipped shut and he pulled her closer. He hoped this meant what he thought it did. He was desperate for her to truly return his affections.

When she pulled back, she reached for his hands and entwined their fingers. He enjoyed every second that her fingertips brushed over his palms. "I want-" "Hinata!" a familiar voice called out and he had to admit he was annoyed with the person. He glanced over her shoulder and the blonde was standing there. He glared at the man as he approached. He made a mental reminder to have a word with the door man. He explicitly said not to let the blonde man in today.

"Yes?" Hinata asked the blonde as she turned around. "What are you doing here?" the blonde asked, and he frowned. "I'm just-" "And you look like a whore." Naruto said and his chest filled with rage. How dare he? He started to move around Hinata, but she held her hand out across his chest to stop him. "Maybe if you would have treated me right instead of bad mouthing me to your little affair partner, I would have dressed like this for you." she said sternly and Hidan winced from across the room.

The resounding echo of a slap filled the room and Itachi's blood was boiling as he pulled Hinata away from the man and stood in front of her. "You ungrateful bitch!" Naruto snapped and the whole room was watching them from the moment they had heard the slap. Itachi turned his back on Naruto and leaned to look at Hinata's cheek. It was bright red, but she seemed ok as she pushed him back behind her and stepped to Naruto.

"You cheated on me, and I'm supposed to be grateful? You talked so much trash about me and I'm supposed to be grateful?" she hissed, and Naruto narrowed his eyes. "I gave you everything you could ever want!" she hissed louder, and he frowned as he listened to her. "No, you didn't. Why do you think I had to search for it somewhere else!" He snarled and he saw Hinata draw back a bit. He frowned when she continued to hold him back.

"Who are you even here for, Hinata? Like what are you doing? You're not like this! You don't dress like this so you're just seeking attention right now." Naruto laughed and Hinata frowned once more. She gripped the cloth of his shirt, only to look at him and shake her head. "I can handle this." She said softly and Naruto laughed at her. "Handle what, you couldn't handle me when I was drunk and flirting with you." He laughed once more only to shake his head.

"You're useless and always have been." He said, he was going to say more but a fist cracked across his jaw and sent him stumbling backwards. Sadly, it was not his own fist. When he grabbed hold of her, he was about to intervene, but a swift palm to the underside of his jaw sent him stumbling back once more, only for Hinata to swing in a wide arc and crack him in the jaw again with the fist that was holding his shirt.

"Stupid bitch." Naruto spat and grabbed her roughly, but Hinata stood her ground, staring him down with rage in her normally calm eyes. The blonde man released her and stepped back, holding his hands up in the air. As if he caught the look itachi was sending his way he smirked at him. "Have fun with a prude, Itachi. You'll never get anything from her." He scoffed and turned to make his way out, like an injured dog tucking his tail. "Don't worry, Naruto. I will enjoy every second I spend with her even without that." He said and Naruto flipped him off as he turned to leave once more.

"Are you alright?" he asked as she reached around behind him and downed his drink that he had been sipping on. She was flush against him, and the club was silent, even the music had stopped when she had been slapped. She put a little distance between him and looked around at everyone who was staring. "Remind me not to fuck with her." Hidan said and the group started to laugh. Even she was laughing, and he couldn't help but smile.

"See Ino! I told you Hinata was a badass!" Sakura said and Ino nodded. He looked around to see his friends all staring at the normally shy girl in awe. Konan looked over at him and he smirked at her. He knew Hinata had the ability to stand up for herself, she had done it to Sasuke when they were younger after all. She turned back to him with a smile on her lips. She grabbed him and pulled him to her once more. His lips melded with hers and he pulled her closer to him. His hands wrapped themselves in her hair and she tilted her head back to deepen the kiss.

When he pulled back from her, she smiled at him, the redness of her cheek fading. "I want to be with you." she said, and he felt his chest feel light. She had truly chosen him. He never actually thought she would actually choose him. He was thrilled internally. He laced his fingers with hers and she looked up at him once more. "I want to be with you, too." he said softly, and she unlaced her fingers to hug him tightly. He wrapped his arms around her and placed a kiss atop her head.

When he released her, he motioned for the bar stool next to him. She slipped up onto it and smiled at him. He held her hand as he ordered some food for them. He watched her as she delicately snatched some fries from his plate. He chuckled as she popped them into her mouth with a smile. When they finished eating, everyone was dancing, and they were just sitting at the bar. She turned to look at all the couples dancing and he could see she wanted nothing more than to go out there and dance.

She looked over to him and he sighed, she was going to do this whether he wanted to or not. He took her hand that was outstretched, and he followed her onto the dance floor. She immediately started bouncing with the music and his eyes were drawn to her chest, which were barely held into the shirt as is. He quirked a brow as she started grinding on him and she grabbed his hands and placed them on her hips. He wasn't much for dancing, but he truly enjoyed watching her dance on him. Every move of her hips against him made him want more. She rolled her hips one good time and he pulled her flush against him, moving them both to the beat of the music.

"Hinata, are you teasing me?" he asked softly, his voice husky. She turned her head to look at him and he saw amusement in her eyes as she rolled her hips in an arc. He gripped her hips gently and dipped his head to her neck as they continued to dance. She was being obvious about her intentions, and he was curious as to why, but he wasn't complaining. When the song stopped and the DJ started speaking, she turned to face him. She smiled at him, and he raised a brow at him.

She jumped up at him and he scrambled to grab her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his hips. Ino and Sakura started hooting and hollering the moment she pressed her lips to his. "Looks like we have some love happening on the dance floor! Gotta play something for them really quick!" The DJ called and started playing 'If I Can't Have You' by 'Shawn Mendes'. Hinata blushed, but her legs dropped, and she held his hands as the song played. She looked around and saw all the couples were dancing once more.

She looked back to him, and he smiled at her. He grabbed her hand and spun her in a circle before he placed a hand on her hip and leaned closer to her. They were rocking side to side with the beat. "Everything means nothing if I can't have you." he said softly, and she blushed but beamed up at him. She stepped from side to side with hi to the beat and he leaned her back after he spun her once more. He leaned her up and she was grinning. He pressed his lips to the back of her hand before leading her back to the bar. He ordered them both drinks and he ended up drinking both of them because she wouldn't touch either of them. He was curious as to why she wouldn't, but anytime he asked why she wouldn't drink she just blushed and said it would ruin her plans.

He took that as a reasonable answer and slowed his own drinking. He watched her out of the corner of his eyes, and he couldn't help but admire her beauty. She was absolutely the most gorgeous woman he had ever met, and he wanted to see her beauty for the rest of his life. If she were permitted, he would one day ask her to marry him. She turned to see him looking at her and she smiled softly, placing her cheek on the back of his hand that was resting on the bar.

"Come with me." she said, and he raised a brow. She lifted her head off his hand and tugged him outside the club. It was utter silence outside other than the dull thumping of the music inside. "Give me your keys." she said, and he furrowed his brow. They had both drank tonight and he wasn't going to let her drive. "We aren't going anywhere yet." he said, and she nodded. "Of course not. Just give me the keys." She laughed lightly, and he did.

She walked over to his SUV and opened the back door and climbed in. She offered him a hand and he took it and climbed in with her. He sat back against the seat and looked over to her, only to see a mischievous glint in her eyes. She reached around the seat in front of him and scooted it as far forward as it would go. Then she knelt in front of him and reached for his belt buckle. He swiftly grabbed her wrist and shook his head.

"Hinata, you don't have to do this to be with me." he said, and she smiled up at him. "I've always wanted to do this to you." she said, and he frowned. "When I was sixteen, I had the biggest crush on you and wanted to do everything with you, but I thought you had no interest in me." she said, and he felt the tips of his ears burn red. He had never known she had thought about him like this. "I don't have a condom because I wasn't planning on this." he said, and she giggled as he released her wrist. "You don't need one." she said, and he frowned. He was smart, until it came to her. He didn't know what she was thinking in this moment.

She slipped him from his pants, and he lifted his hips for her to move them further down. Her eyes widened as she took in his size, only to smile and lean down. Her lips encircled him, and his eyes fluttered shut as she took him as deep as he would go. He felt her breath waft down to his stomach from her distance, and he couldn't help but wrap his fingers in her hair as she started moving. Her tongue swirled around him, and he grunted as she pressed him as far down her throat as she could get him, her free hand wrapping around him as well and moving with her mouth. He was getting close and he tapped her head to let her know because he couldn't find the words.

She didn't stop though, she just kept going until he bit back a gasp and he came in her mouth. She swallowed and looked up to meet his gaze as he panted lightly, he didn't say anything as he didn't trust his voice. She gave him a moment to breath before her lips found their way around him once more. He squeezed his eyes shut as he felt himself harden all over again. He only opened his eyes when he felt her remove her mouth from him. She crawled into his lap and hiked her skirt up. She pulled her panties to the side and slowly started to position him to where he could enter her.

"You don't have to do this if you don't want to." he said and she pressed her lips to his to silence him. His breath caught in his throat as she slipped down onto him. His eyes fluttered shut at the feeling and he gripped the seat, she was so very tight and warm he never could have imagined it would feel this way, being with her. She whimpered as she forced herself down as far as she could go. He gripped the seat the moment she started moving.

He was no stranger to sex, he had had it before with a few women, but he had never been in a relationship with any of them. He had just met them while drinking and nothing ever came of it. He opened his eyes to look at her and she had her lower lip between her teeth as she raised and lowered herself on him. "T-touch me... p-please..." she begged, and he nodded. He leaned and pulled her breasts from her shirt, capturing one of them in his mouth while he rolled the other nipple between his fingertips.

He continued this before he couldn't take it anymore and he wrapped his arms around her and turned them to where she was flat against the seat. He pulled her panties off and dropped them onto the seat. He pulled her hips up to his and he slipped back within her, forcing himself in as far as he could go. His hand entwined with one of hers against the window as he used the other to keep her hips held up. He delved deep within her, and his ears picked up the slightest moans that escaped her. His eyes fluttered shut as she cried out his name, clamping down around him. He was able to keep going for a little longer before he couldn't hold back anymore. "P-please... cum in me... Itachi..." she managed, her voice wavering with her lack of breath.

He slipped his eyes shut and obliged her, he released inside her and hunched lightly over while panting. His breaths were shaky, and he couldn't really calm himself down. He pulled out of her and sat back against the other window as she pulled her skirt down and fixed her shirt. She took him into her mouth and cleaned him off, jolting him to look at her as he panted. He managed to catch his breath and he tucked himself away, pulling up his pants and buckling his belt.

She just watched him for a moment before she snatched the new bottle of water from his center console and took a sip. She offered it to him, and he did the same. This calmed his heart rate further and he looked to see she was crawling closer to him once more. She pressed her lips to his the moment the bottle was away from his lips. He wound his fingers gently in her hair and kissed her back, only to pull away and leave gentle kisses across her jaw and down her neck.

"That was so much better than I could have ever imagined." she whispered as he nipped and bit at the nape of his neck. "I aim to please." he whispered against her skin, and she shuddered. "I also aim to ensure you don't ever have to imagine it again." he said and she blushed lightly, but smiled. He watched as she pulled her skirt down a little more and he chuckled. He opened the car door and slipped out, offering her a hand. She took his hand and he helped her down out of his vehicle.

He closed and locked the doors and they made their way back inside. Their hands were linked the entire walk inside. "Hey, Hinata! Where'd you go? We were all doing shots earlier and we wanted you to join us." Ino complained from her place in Hidan's lap. "Yeah, Hinata. It was fun and you missed it." Sakura said from her place beside Sasuke. "I was just talking some things out with Itachi. You know we have a lot to discuss now that we are together." Hinata lied smoothly and he was mildly impressed with her.

"Yeah, y'all were talking alright. Itachi talked her straight out her damn panties is what happened." Hidan laughed as he sipped his drink. Itachi felt his ears burn red once more, hoping to every deity out there that his cheeks weren't flushed red as well. Hinata's didn't hold back though, there was a full red blush coating her cheeks as she patted her skirt, feeling no panty line at all. "Technically she talked me out of mine." Itachi said and Hinata choked and looked over at him in shock, not expecting that from him in the slightest.

He wasn't bashful though... because according to him... he was everything he had ever wanted and more.
