Ray of Light (Ita/Kisa) 🍋

Confessions

Kisame sighs and rubs his eyebrows as he leans his head against his fist on his car door. His other hand rests on the steering wheel as he thinks back to Shisui's insults. He felt so out of place.... why did he think he could stand beside Itachi as an equal.

His eyes travel to the front of the university as he waits for who knows what. His eyes narrow as he sees Itachi coming down the front steps. A smile curls onto his face as he sees the long strands, framing his face, bounce with every step.
His smile fades as Shisui follows behind him, touching the small of Itachis back as they reach the bottom of the steps, their laughter echoing in his ears like a nightmare. He watches angrily as a driver comes around and opens the door for both of them as they slide in. "It's like that huh?" Kisame says as he starts his car and drives off angrily.

Itachi hears the roar of an engine and turns around to peer out the rear window. He sees a black car skid off, wondering if that was Kisame. "Ame Blue apartments, Alfred" Shisui says to the driver as Itachi turns around and looks down. He feels extremely guilty for doing that to Kisame, he didn't deserve that.

"Itachi," Shisui says as he unbuttons his jacket and sits back. Itachi looks up as the car starts to move and the divider between them and the driver raises slowly. "Don't worry about him," Shisui says giving him a small smile, "Remember, we are cut from a different cloth," he finishes taking his hand lightly.

Itach looks into his large brown eyes, he truly did miss his old friend. He turns back silently gazing out the window, thinking about Kisame as he pulls his hand away from Shisuis. Soon after, the scenery becomes familiar as they pull up to his apartment complex. "Were here" the driver says as he opens the door. Shisui holds his hand out to help Itachi as he slides out of the car. "Thank you for the ride Shisui," Itachi says with a small smile. His old friend reaches forward and tucks a strand of hair behind his ear. "Anytime... anything for you," he replies. Itachi nods as he turns to walk to his apartment. "Let me walk you up," Shisui offers. Itachi turns and shakes his head, "That's not necessary, really" he replies. Shisui chuckles, "I wanted to see your apartment remember? Your mother told me it's a must see." Itachi nods as he waits for Shisui to tell his driver to hold on.

They enter the apartment complex as Hyato eyes Shisui peculiarly. "Hey Itachi. How was your night with Kisame?" The doorman asks with a smile. Shisui notices the Uchiha get somber at the mention of his name. "It was fine Hyato. Thank you for asking" he says softly as they continue to the elevator. 

Itachi smiles at Shisui kindly as the older friend stares at him. "You're too fucking cute Itachi" Shisui smiles as they reach his floor. "Oh hush," Itachi says as he exits the elevator and heads to his apartment.

Itachi opens the door and let's Shisui in as he closes the door and throws his keys on the counter. Itachi barely looks up from closing the door before he's pushed against it and lips are felt on his. His eyes widen as he pushes Shisui away from him. "What the hell..." Itachi breathes. Shisui shakes his head and takes Itachis hands lightly in his. "I want you Itachi."

Kisame drives through the dark streets of Ame as he wrestles with his thoughts. Maybe he was just giving him a ride... but he had his arm around his waist.... Itachi wouldn't do that to me....would he?

Kisame decides to stop questioning himself and confront the situation, he needs to talk to him. He turns his mustang around abruptly and heads towards the Ame Blues. He sighs as he parks his car and buttons his suit jacket as he heads inside.

"Kisame?" He turns and sees Hyato standing at his desk. "Hyato, hey", he replies. "Are you going up?" He asks. Kisame nods. "Oh okay.. you just missed them" he says with a smile. Kisame feels his heart drop. "Them?" Hyatos smile starts to fade, "uh.... yeah. Seemed like a friend?" Kisame swallows and nods. "Thanks Hyato." He heads to the elevator slowly and presses his floor. He feels blood coursing through his veins as his mind wanders. Why did he take him up to his place....

Itachi pulls his hands back and gives him an angry glare. "I'm not available Shisui." Shisui chuckles in retort, "Don't tell me you like that guy from the party?" Itachi moves from the door and opens it, "I think it's time for you to leave." Shisui puts his hand on his shoulder, "Itachi wait. You can't deny there isn't something.... here" he says pulling him into his chest.

Kisame rounds the corner, seeing Shisui holds Itachi close, his hands turning immediately into fists. He's about to confront them when he sees Itachi shove Shisui off of him. "Stop it!" Itachi says loudly, making Shisui step back. "I already told you I'm spoken for." Shisui chuckles and shakes his head,, "You can't expect me to belive you would choose to be with a thug like that." Itachi looks at him puzzled, his eyebrows furrowed in anger.

"Oh," Shisui chuckles, "Don't tell me you don't know? He's a total thug! He's not like us, Itachi." Itachi shakes his head, "I don't care what he may appear to be." Shisui grows serious, "Does your father know? About your predelictions?" Itachi starts to tremble, "I just discovered this side of myself. Kisame has nothing to do with that," Itachi replies, looking down. "He wouldn't like it, Itachi. Especially with one of Ame's research projects." Itachi pops his head up and glares at him angrily, 
"Shut up Shisui, I could care less what my father thinks." Shisui is about to respond when Itachi holds up his hand.

"And another thing, I also personally don't care either what your opinion is of him either because..." Itachi takes a deep breath "I love him." He stops trembling and breathes heavily as his cheeks flush, he's never said it out loud.

Kisame stares at them shocked, his blood flushing his cheeks. "Oh, I didn't know that.... I'm sorry" Shisui says rubbing his own arms, feeling slightly guilty. "Well... I do, so we can continue to be friends or.... nothing," Itachi says crossing his arms. Shisui nods. "I'll respect your decision. Your friendship means more to me than anything." Itachi nods and uncrosses his arms as Shisui steps in for a hug. "Are you kidding me?" Itachi says stepping back. Shisui chuckles, "Too slow huh? I'll leave you be Itachi, take care" he says rubbing his arm as he passes by and takes the other elevator. Itachi shakes his head and turns towards his door. Now to call Kisame...

Itachi jumps as he feels two arms snake around his waist, his eyes instantly rolling. "Shisui I said stop!" He yells turning around. His eyes widen and his cheeks flush as his black orbs meet Kisames grey ones. "Kisam-" he's interrupted as Kisame kisses him hard, his hands traveling around his small waist. He pushes Itachi into the apartment as he kicks closed the door.

"Mmm....Kisa... wait" Itachi moans as Kisame kisses down his jawline and to his neck. Kisame stops kissing him and leans back, stroking Itachis cheek. "Kisame, I wanted to apologize. I'm so sorry for tonight. I acted so rudely and I feel terrible" he says hanging his head. Kisame chuckles and shakes his head, "it's forgotten Itachi. I forgot everything you said except the last thing." Itachi looks at him puzzled, unsure what that was. Kisame presses his lips to Itachis as he cups his face. "I love you too." Itachi wraps his arms around Kisames waist as he kisses him deeper.

"You heard me?" He whispers as Kisame pulls away. He strokes his cheek as he looks deep into Itachis eyes and nods. Itachi feels like he could jump off a building, he bites his lip in frustration. "I'm sorry if it's too soon..." He starts. Kisame shakes his head and pulls him into his chest.

"It's not and hearing it out of surprise is better than it planned. Besides, like I said, I love you as well" he says holding him even tighter. Itachi looks up into his grey eyes, his muscular build and thick chest a comforting place to be. "Kisame..." He whispers. Kisame bends down and rests his lips at his ear. "What is it?" Itachi kisses his neck softly before whispering back, "Make love to me..."

Kisame swallows slowly and nods, his lips curling to a soft smile. He grows nervous, unsure if he's even capable of making love, but for Itachi, he will damn try. The elegant Uchiha smiles back as he takes his hand lightly and heads for his bedroom.
