Naruto laughed softly as he felt a pair of strong arms wrap around his stomach lifting the blonde boy from the ground making him squeal in happiness. The warm hard body of Itachi was pressed firmly against his back as Naruto looked at the show case in front of them. “What were you thinking so hard about?” Itachi mumbled against his love's neck inhaling the sweet sent of the younger boy.“Nothing.” Naruto replied with a small smile as he continued to stare at the jewelry that was in the case; Itachi's breath was tickling his neck.“Don't try that with me, I know you were thinking about something. What were you looking at anyway?” the long haired boy asked looking into the case eyeing the jewelry with genuine interest in what his blonde love was looking at. The thought that someone could be so consumed with everything that was Naruto made the boy's heart swell.“Just the rings. Right there.” Naruto pointed out at the two sets gold bands that twisted together a rounded diamond was held in a twisted not at the top; the other band held a onyx stone inside.“They're beautiful, but what are they for?”“They're promise rings, I couldn't help it, but when I saw them my thoughts just began to wonder all of a sudden.” Naruto mumbled feeling his new found boy nibbling on his neck as he spoke; ever since they had gotten together Itachi touched the boy almost constantly. Not that it bothered Naruto, no in fact he liked the touches quite a bit as he always melted at man's touches.“Mm, you'll get one someday love.” Itachi mumbled in reply listening intently at his boyfriend's sexy purring noises.“Yeah if I ever found someone to love me that much.” Naruto said without much thought.“I love you.” Itachi said pulling away from the boy a look of hurt crossed the lovely features of the dark haired man.“I didn't mean it like that. It's just we're no where near that point in our relationship we've only been going out for a week.” Naruto quickly consoled knowing how insecure his boyfriend was about their relationship. The older man had his head bowed allowing his face to be covered by the long inky black hair. “Itachi, I...” Naruto muttered feeling his chest tighten at the thought of the words he could possibly form; smooth tan hands when up to touch the creamy white skin of his beloved's face lifting it gently so he could see dark eyes clearly.Naruto took a moment to stand there and revel in how well they contrasted together; from their personalities to their skin tones they just... fit. “Why do you always doubt yourself with me? You're confident in everything else you do in life yet you're always so careful with me. Like at any moment I would just up and leave you all alone.” the blonde boy spoke softly before placing a light kiss on Itachi's lips he had to stand on his toes a bit to do so since he was considerably shorter in size.Itachi smiled inwardly at the comfort he received slowly; and almost lazily; slipping his tongue into the boy's mouth wrapping his arms around Naruto, lifting him slightly off of the ground as he did so that their mouths could mesh together better. The kiss lasted for an unknown amount of time only breaking because of the burning feeling both felt well up in their chests from lack of air.Itachi thought it was the most erotic sight ever; the sight of Naruto with his eyes half mast panting slightly for air, his lips puffy from the kiss they shared. He couldn't help but love the boy more and more every time they did this his heart was pounding loudly in his chest and he was sure that his short haired love could hear it. “We should finish our shopping now.” Itachi mumbled getting a shaky nod in reply.Snaking an arm around Naruto's waist Itachi smiled as he walked happily through the mall as they continued to shop.
Naruto laughed at the story Itachi had just finished telling him, both had their hands filled with bags as they approached the house an unexpected guest standing on the front porch. Naruto froze immediately as he was the one who caught the first glimpse of the scowling Orochimaru. Itachi immediately turned his attention the the other man once he realized Naruto's sudden motionlessness.“Where's Sasuke?!” the man moved off the porch snarling at Naruto and glaring intensely at the blonde boy.“How the hell should I know?! I'm not his damn keeper find your own damn boyfriend!” Naruto yelled growling back fiercely, Itachi watched stunned at how fierce his meek blonde was acting around the man he personally couldn't stand either.“Listen to me you little--” Orochimaru started before Itachi slid in front of him blocking the blonde from the man.“You don't belong here so get off of my property!” Itachi hissed getting no real response from the man as he kept his eyes on Naruto making Itachi's blood boil at the intensity of the stare.“I know you're hiding him!”“Yeah well if you didn't abuse your lovers they wouldn't have a reason to run away now would they?!” Naruto replied steadily glaring harder at this most hated man, who made no move to deny the abuse of his lovers.“So you are hiding him!”“I am not!”“Stop it! He said he's not hiding Sasuke so he's not!” Itachi intervened with a possessive growl.“Yeah well he said he wasn't hiding Kimimaru either and yet that's the place he left from when he moved.” Orochimaru snarled in reply.“Do you even know how bad he was hurt when he came to me?! How many marks you left on him! He had to move out of town because you ruined everything he had left here!” Naruto said with a growl.“Yeah, well that's what you and he say I did. But your argument didn't quite convince the courts now did they?” Orochimaru said with a shameless smirk; Naruto fists instantly clutched the bags with a white knuckled grip at the slimy man's words. “Well I suppose he really isn't with you then, I guess I will be leaving then.” Orochimaru said calming in almost seconds as he brushed his hair back casually, before getting in his car.Naruto's head was bowed as the man drove away from the house, Itachi could see that the boy was trembling softly. “Naruto.” Itachi mumbled softly trying to grab his blonde's attention. Moving closer he could see the boy's face streaking with tears, some pooling at the bottom of his cheeks before falling to the ground.Setting his bags on the ground, Itachi took the ones in Naruto's hands and did the same before wrapping his arms tightly around the boy holding him and silently comforting him. “Tell me love.” Itachi whispered finally knowing it would help if the blonde just told him and removed some of the weight on his shoulders.“He was one of my closest friends and when he first told me about what was going on I had thought him insane to want and stay. I didn't pressure him to leave though, thinking that maybe things would get better y'know. So when the beatings got worse I became... frantic.” Naruto took in a deep sigh as he nervously played with the buttons on Itachi's shirt. “After awhile, he couldn't take it anymore apologies were no longer enough for Kimimaru as he hid in my house, he tried to get Orochimaru thrown into jail for the psycho he was. But Orochimaru was a lawyer, and the person he hired made Kimimaru look like he was a liar and that Orochimaru was an innocent man.”“I couldn't do anything Itachi, absolutely nothing to help my friend. I mean I tried to help him go about life normally but the trial had made his life a living hell since he had been on the news. No one wanted to hire someone they thought was a compulsive liar who was only out to get people's money.”“So instead of continuing to try, continuing to see the sick pleasure Orochimaru got from his constant pain. Kimimaru moved away and he never called to speak to me again. I've always hoped that he was ok though. I mean he was the closest person I had back then and I didn't do much of anything to help. Only made things worse by pressing him into the trial.”Itachi sighed as he held Naruto close slowly rocking the boy comfortingly in his arms. The crying had ceased and Naruto had calmed quite a bit at the admission, slowly and unwillingly Itachi uncurled his love from his arms looking him up and down slowly. His eyes were red and puffy from crying, his nose and face had turned equally red from the cold.“Let's go inside already I don't want you to get sick out here in the cold.” Itachi spoke softly ushering his boyfriend into the house after he grabbed the bags from the ground, Naruto followed suit. Once inside the house both boy set the items on the floor in the living room; Naruto was felt completely drained at the moment; which made things go by in a blur as he was led by the raven haired man down the hall and into his bedroom.“Rest now my sweet.” Itachi mumbled placing a soft kiss on Naruto's temple, he had guided the boy gently to lay on the bed. Covering the blonde up Itachi's watched as blue eyes disappeared behind tanned eyelids; soft snores quickly followed as Itachi smiled softly before pulling out his pocketed keys and rushing out of the house.
Sasuke paced back and forth outside of Naruto's apartment door; since no one was home to let him in; he was currently chewing at what was left of his nails in a nervous habit. He had already had to run and hide a couple of times while waiting to Orochimaru from finding him.Pulling a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket Sasuke quickly pulled on out and lit it. It helped to calm his nerves a bit as he let the intoxicating air fill his lungs as his newly attained bad habit kicked in. His need for nicotine was strong.The sound of footsteps coming up the stairs scared the boy into movement as he ran over to the steps and lay down flat onto the so the person coming up on the other ones wouldn't see him, but so that he could see them. The image of his older brother came into view as the man had his hands shoved neatly into the pockets of his designer jacket.The man surveyed the area slowly looking for Sasuke wasn't sure what, his newly lit cigarette was lying on the ground now burning out slowly in the cool air. It had been forgotten in the midst of his panic. The small red light of it caught Itachi's attention after a moment; like a beacon in the night.He sighed as he stamped out the small flame, “I knew I heard other footsteps. Come out Sasuke!” Itachi said with a bored tone as he watched his brother slowly stand from his position and showing himself. A fitful glare was shown on his face.“What are you doing here?!” Sasuke snapped, for some unknown reason.“I could ask you the same thing.” Itachi replied calmly sitting down on the steps, issuing for Sasuke to do the same thing. “Look, Naruto's worried about you and for once I think he's right to be.” Itachi said looking at his feet while he kicked idly at a rock.“Yeah well there's no need to concern yourself with me I can take care of myself.”“Yeah that's why Orochimaru was on my doorstep grilling Naruto to find out if he was harboring you like some runaway child. Which further presses my reasons of believing that he may be hurting you; well that and you're currently sitting on Naruto's doorstep and hiding from anyone who comes your way.” the long haired man explained watching his brother tensed considerably; the worry lines were showing on his face.“Yeah well I'm fine and I was just about to head home so--” Sasuke started only to be cut off by the vice grip on his arm preventing him from leaving.“You're right you were just about to go home. With me.” Itachi said menacingly as he tugged harshly at his arm to get away from his older brother throwing the man a glare.“Get off of me! I'm an adult now and you can't do this to me!” Sasuke growled continuing to pull futilely at his arm as he was drug to his brother car.“Yeah well until I see that you're acting as an adult and taking care of yourself I will let you go. But until then I am sick and tired of seeing my boyfriend worry himself sick over you 'cause you do nothing but draw problems to yourself.” Itachi growled angrily all but tossing the boy into the car and slamming the door shut behind him.
