Naruto sighed as he shut his phone with a soft 'click' noise, he was wrapped warmly in a thick black coat. The collar stopped right below his nose, successfully hiding his whisker marks as he walked to work.(1) Briefly he recalled hearing on the news about it was going to snow, he thought of this only at this moment because he could feel the tips of his ears going numb.Once inside the large building he was greeting by the secretary at the front desk with the amazingly, and overly bright red lipstick and clothes. Naruto nodded briefly in reply as he headed towards Itachi's office, barely getting a glance from the older man who was currently talking on the phone with what he thought might be a client. Quickly and quietly Naruto removed his thick winter coat to reveal the white short sleeved shirt with the red swirl, underneath was a bright orange long sleeved shirt.It was hardly what would be considered law firm material, but no one said anything about it. So he wasn't about to go change anytime soon, the blond figured in his head that pretty soon anyway he would be wearing too many stuffy suits. Itachi hung up the phone and got from his desk giving Naruto a small smile. “Your late.” he stated calmly.“I know, I just got caught up with things at home, and well first off I woke up late which threw me off completely. Then I had to--” Naruto started to ramble off his apology only to be cut off by Itachi placing a slim finger on his lips.“Doesn't matter, everyone has off days. Even me, did you walk?” He asked sweetly, cupping Naruto's face and feeling what the bite of fall almost winter did to the poor tanned skin.“Well yeah. I don't have a car or a license, but that's ok 'cause it's good for me to walk. Keeps me from getting fat.” the blond answered cheerfully, trying to ignore the close vicinity in which he was with the older man.Itachi laughed lightly, “Your strange.”“Thank you!”“Oh, did you hear, Sasuke moved out.”“Really? Whatever for?” Naruto questioned curiously as he moved to sit at the desk and file the little bit of paper work that was sitting there. Since he had cleaned up the office the first week things hadn't been so hard or busy for him to do.“I don't know, just to be an annoying little prick like always I would guess.” Itachi grumbled in reply.“Itachi!” Naruto scolded sending the other a heated glare.“What?! He is.”“Still... you should be happy you still have some kind of family.” the blond boy mumbled, looking down and pausing in his movement for a moment.“Naruto...” Itachi whispered softly as he approached the blond, wrapping his arms around the other from behind the chair. “I'm sorry, I keep forgetting.”“It's ok. You're entitled to your own opinions, it's just...”“Yes I know. You're my sweet, sentimental little kitsune.” with the he placed a soft kiss Naruto's temple sending chills down his spine at the contact. Itachi straightened immediately after the small kiss fixing his dress shirt and tie, “Well, I have to leave so I won't keep you from your work any longer. Are you free this weekend by any chance?” the long haired man asked he pulled on his suit jacket.“I should be. Why?”“No reason, I was gonna call you if something happens. You know how Deidara makes things up out of no where for everyone to do. And I think I would be on his hit list if I didn't invite the lovely Naruto-chan.” Naruto giggled at this and nodded before he watched the door close a moment behind their goodbyes.
Naruto stuffed his hands into his pockets as he began to move briskly down the street toward where he lived. An hour and half later he arrived at his destination, cold, sore, and tired. As he dug out his keys, Naruto looked up to see Sasuke sitting on the front porch of his tiny little apartment. Naruto pushed passed the other boy, ignoring him as he unlocked the door.“Naruto.” Sasuke started softly looking at the blond seriously.“What do you want asshole? In fact why are you even here?!” Naruto spat rather harshly as he opened the door and stepped inside. Sasuke proceeded to let himself inside the small place also.“I... I don't know myself. I just started walking and ended up... here.”“That's great how about you start walking again and end up somewhere else?” he said feeling guilty for being so cruel when he saw the barely noticeable stricken look on Sasuke's face.“I didn't come here to fight with you I just wanted to... I don't know. I needed to see you, to talk.”“Talk about what?” the blond said slightly nicer than before, Sasuke said nothing as he kept his head bowed and bit his lip in thought before turning to leave looking over his shoulder before he left the apartment.“It was nothing. I was just being stupid see 'ya dobe.” he whispered before leaving, he sounded lost. Naruto didn't chase him though as he dropped down onto the couch and let out a long sigh. Suddenly it felt like someone had hit him in the head with a brick, as the signs of a headache came on.Pulling out his cell phone Naruto began to lazily dial, placing to his ear when he was done to listen to it ring. “Hello?” came Itachi's voice from the other end of the line.“Hey.” Naruto said smiling softly at the voice, as he removed his coat lazily.“Hm. What did you want?”“Oh I wanted to tell you that Sasuke just came over.”“Really? What for?”“Yeah see, that's the thing. I don't really know, I mean he came over and said he wanted to talk to me. Then when I asked him to talk he left and said it was nothing. I'm worried 'Tachi-kun something could be wrong.” Naruto bit his bottom lip in worry as he curled up slowly in an attempt to conjure up more heat, he heard a sigh on the other end of the line and a long pause.“Look, as hard as this may be for you to hear right now. He doesn't need help yet, until he directly asks for it he will be fine. And before you object, let me inform you I've been his older brother his whole life. So trust me when I say, don't worry yourself until he breaks down and says something. Then I swear I will take any action you wish of me to correct things. Ok?”“Fine, fine. Ok, you better be right. I will cry, and believe me when I say it gets rather pitiful.”“Oh please don't.” Itachi pleaded sounding as if he may break down himself. Naruto smiled at this, Itachi was so wonderfully caring about the things he did and said, it made the blond's stomach flutter at times and his chest tighten. Like right this moment was a good example, right now Naruto felt that he could absolutely die happy.“I won't. Hey since you didn't have any plans either and are really just waiting on Deidara how about you take me somewhere like the park?”“Hm. Sure, that sounds like a good idea.” Itachi replied nonchalantly, when really inside he was doing back flips, and his heart was doing circus tricks.“Ok. Saturday then.” Naruto said happily, yawning sleepily immediately afterwards.“What are you doing?”“I'm all curled up ready to go to sleep.”“Where are you at?”“On the couch.”“Go to bed Naruto, your gonna be all sore in the morning.”“I don't feel like it.” the blond boy whined.“Just. Go.” he replied sternly.“'Tachi-kun... your so mean.” the boy continued to whine as he drug himself into his room and fell onto the bed.“Yeah yeah, I've been told worse. Night Naruto.”“Night... 'Tachi” with that Naruto clicked the phone shut and fell quickly into sleep, to dream about pale skin and dark eyes, and matching dark hair.
