Back To You [Shisui X Itachi]

Chapter 42

It was the cold that woke Itachi. He lazily blinked his eyes open and the spot next to him was empty.

He sat up and a sharp pain shot up his lower back – but that was to be expected. Instead, what caught him off guard was the pain on his right collarbone. Itachi looked down and saw it was Shisui's teeth imprints. He smiled slightly, what happened last night was pure lust but Itachi had a tingly feeling that it was more than just lust...

He slowly stood up, wrapping the sheet around him. The sun hadn't risen yet, but it was clearly about to. He navigated his hallway into the lit up kitchen. There was some clinging and frustrated sighing coming from the room.

He peaked around the corner just as Shisui turned around. Shisui stomped his feet like a child throwing a tantrum, "You were supposed to stay in bed."

Itachi smiled gently, "I'm sorry."

Shisui flashed his toothy smile, "I- uh- I only know how to make eggs..."

Itachi looked down at the plate and it was indeed scrambled eggs, "You didn't have to do that", he muttered sleepily.

"I wanted to", Shisui approached Itachi. He gently lowered Itachi's grip on the blanket to reveal his bruised collarbone.

"Does it hurt?" Shisui asked worriedly.

"Just a little", Itachi pressed his head against Shisui's bare chest, relishing the older male's scent. Shisui wrapped his arms around Itachi, pulling him closer. They stood like that, just enjoying each other's warmth.

"Let me see your back", Itachi realised as he had clawed at it last night. He gently turned Shisui around and there were fresh scrapes on his toned back.

"Do they hurt?" Itachi asked as he traced a scratch gently with his fingertip.

"Just stings a little", Shisui responded gently, "Sit, eat something."

Itachi wobbled over to the chair and tentatively sat down, wincing slightly. Of course, Shisui noticed, "Itachi, I'm sorry. I was clearly too rough with you last night", his shoulders squared up – preparing for a fight.

He was caught off guard, "I liked it", Itachi mumbled shyly.

"But..."

"Shisui, I really liked it...don't apologise – I have never felt better", he said softly, blushing slightly.

Shisui smiled calmly, his heart felt perfectly at peace and the atmosphere was a calm, gentle one. Itachi slowly began eating his eggs and Shisui simply stared at the sleepy Uchiha as he ate.

"We should probably shower", Itachi mumbled, putting some of his hair back behind his ear.

Shisui grinned but was still slightly uncertain, Itachi noticed that, "Just shower, Shisui."

Shisui held out his hands in defence, "Okay, okay."

Itachi laughed softly and tried to get out of his chair and the familiar pain shot up his back again, Shisui was by him in an instant, "Here", he picked Itachi up as if he weighed nothing and carried him to the shower.

Shisui found a pleasant water temperature. Itachi dropped the sheet and stepped into the spray of water. Shisui lowered his jogging shorts and got in behind Itachi. His lips met Itachi's neck, "You're so beautiful", Shisui mumbled against Itachi's skin.

"You're the beautiful one", Itachi mumbled back. He reached for his shampoo bottle but Shisui snatched it from his hands.

"I like your hair, I was glad to see you didn't cut it", Shisui mumbled as he lathered shampoo into Itachi's long hair.
