Break me

Chapter 42

Naruto's POV

"Mr. Namikaze you can use these for tonight's party." The butler hands me some bags. I ask him,"Who sent these to me?" The butler says,"Mr. Obito instructed to give this to you." Seemingly he was aware that I could be lacking a perfect attire for tonight.

Obito came just in time and drove me to the hall that Fugaku Uchiha rented to hold this party. He stops driving taking it through the front gate to enter the main area. He says after dropping me off,"Don't go anywhere, wait until I come back here."

I started walking to go to the front door so that he could spot me easily. But seeing Itachi standing there got me surprised. I spoke,"What are you doing here?" He looks up and says nonchalantly,"Why? Can't I be at my father's party?"

I sigh. Why am I even bothering to ask foolishly? Obito came to our sight. He is walking back to us spotting both of us together. He says,"Let's head inside." Itachi says,"You go in first. I'll be back in minutes." As he was standing there smoking wearing a suit tidily.

His hair is perfectly tied making him look like a fine man. Even most of the women who are heading inside are giving him glances and some of them are even giggling like high school girls even though they are way older than him. But Itachi looks unbothered. Did I ever see him dating someone? I guess I never saw.

"Stick closer to me." Obito says as he heads in. Sometimes it feels like Fugaku Uchiha favours Obito Uchiha more, even more than his own two sons. Obito works like his right hand.

Then Itachi came to follow us eventually and there's no scent of cigarettes on him, instead he smells sweet. "What are you looking at?" Itachi asks me as he fixes his tie looking somewhat a bit nervous after catching me staring at him.

I tell him,"Nothing." And turn my back to follow the man in front of me. Then the man who threw this party came to our sight. He's standing there sipping from a glass of wine beside his son Sasuke. Both of them look so posh and expensive.

Obito took me to Fugaku Uchiha like he asked to. Seeing me he says not even giving an effort to make a change of his ice cold facial expression,"I'm glad you came, Naruto." I tell him putting on a facade and being as nice as possible,"I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Uchiha."

Then my eyes got locked with Sasuke who has been caught staring at me. I flinched and quickly avert my gaze lowering them to look at my clean shiny black shoes. "Who is this young man?" A man asks Fugaku referring to me.

Fugaku answers him nonchalantly,"His name is Namikaze Naruto." I see the man reacting a bit hearing that name. He says frowning,"I thought all of them are dead." I sigh as I realized the death of my parents is just a news that is worth gossiping.

Fugaku says wavering him off as if his opinion doesn't matter,"Let's not talk about this here." The man looked awkward and turned to leave immediately. Fugaku says,"Obito gave you all the details like I suggested him to, didn't he?" I nod.

He says,"With this, you don't have to hold grudges forever. I know what you think of me but behind everything there was a reason and I kept my promise by handing his belongings to you."

I kept staring at him while thinking hard about why he's even showing such kindness to me? No matter what he does, I just can't bring myself to trust the man standing tall in front of me. Sasuke was same too. I know how I feel for Sasuke.

With this second time falling in love with him, my feelings are even stronger than before but no matter how much I suffer, how much I want him, I'll still end the love hate relationship between us because the way we were before wasn't something healthy. Running away will be wisest decision.
