13.

Y/N Pov

I dry my hair a bit with my towel but it's still quite wet. Well never mind I'll just wrap my hair in the towel. The cold air hits the back of my neck as there isn't anything covering it.

Sitting on the futon I wait patiently for him to come out the bathroom.

I should probably prepare my things for tomorrow. We'll set off I assume. Though we'll leave everything in this room.

After a couple of minutes Itachi then comes out.

"When will we leave tomorrow?"

He takes a towel.

"6am should be good."

I nod and sit down.

Y/N:"Take a seat."

Pfft- he thought I forgot. He should see his face.

After a long sigh he sat down infront of me.

"How do you normally do this?"

"Oh I just dry it and comb nothing special."

Under exaggeration.

Taking the brush I slowly brush his long hair. This is so cute. His ears look red.

"You could be mistaken for a girl. I should be careful."

"H-hey stop that."

He stands up and takes the brush.
I grin at his response.

"By the way. How should we talk to the others about -being together-? We have to make two plans tomorrow. One for the Orochimaru Problem and one for the deception back at hq."

"Well i believe you won't sleep until we make the plans tonight. So let's talk about it."

I look away embarrassed. He has a talent of figuring stuff out quickly. Though I don't believe that implies to anything romantic. There he's totally blonde.

He's sitting by the small table where I join him to talk about the things.

Y/N:"Well First about the Orochimaru Problem. I figured using the right hand of his for information would be useful though I do not know what we could give him in return."

Itachi:"I see.. well we probably won't be able to fulfill this mission and Pain knows so he just sent us to figure out the current plan of the snake."

Pouring two cups of tea I still have my full attention to everything he says.

Itachi:"when Orochimaru was still in the Akatsuki he attacked me with the plan of taking my Body. I believe his current plan is to take Sasuke's."

I nod. The worry in his voice as he said that last sentence wasn't to be overlooked.

"I'm sure Sasuke is smarter than to get caught by him."

I hope so at least.

He nods.

"We could offer to get information about Sasuke and we'll give them information about the Jinchuriki though I don't know if that immortal Snake is interested."

That's the hard part. He doesn't seem interested in anything besides immortality. But...what about Hashirama's cells. Isn't he able to experiment with that? Basically with my dna.

"I can offer him to experiment with me."

He stands up causing the table to shake.

Itachi:"No... You are not doing that. I do not agree with this."

"Itachi? Is everything alright? Why are you so working up? I'm not gonna die."

I walk over to him taking his hand.

Y/N:"I'm here. I always will be."

Lies. I may be but you won't.

He slowly sits back down. I put his tea infront of him and also take my seat.

"Let's stop talking about Orochimaru...You know Tobi? The masked guy. What does he have to do with this organization. I believe he means more than just an assistant."

Itachi:"I knew you would have your suspicions. From what I know he's Madara Uchiha, the Ghost of the Uchiha. He took me in the Akatsuki."

"Isn't Madara long dead? He was the Rival but friend of my great grandfather... He must be using some trick like Orochimaru right?"

Itachi:"I don't really believe that he's Madara but I don't have proof. I only know from what he himself told me."

"We should be careful around him. There is something bigger going on that only he knows about."

He nods with a serious look which isn't anything out of the ordinary. Though I feel like Itachi is keeping something to himself..

I ask if he wants anymore tea but he declines so without exchanging a word we both head to bed.

Itachi Pov
A few hours later

As usual I stare at either the ceiling or in this case Y/N. She's sleeping so calmly. Her warmth keeps me thinking if it's the right choice to let my brother kill me.

Of course it is. I basically slap myself mentally. She has changed me so much I don't know whose thoughts these are.

She shouldn't mean anything to me. We're just strangers who happened to meet by force. Y/N...she- we never wanted any of this.

I turn to my side. Her beautiful H/C hair is falling onto her closed eyes. She doesn't have a worry right now.

I brush away her hair and lightly caress her cheek. When she slowly opened her eyes I retreated my hand as fast as I could.

"Can't sleep?"
She says in a light but slightly husky voice.

I look up to the ceiling only nodding. It feels like I was somehow caught doing an important mission.

I let out a small gasp as her soft fingers glide over my upper arm. (Autocorrect wanted me to write chest lmao)

Y/N:"I'd pay to see you train. These muscles are something else." She chuckles. "When we have the time let's train together back at hq." Her light smile lets my heart melt.

"...of course."

Y/N:"I think I like you.."

Did...Did I hear that right?
I feel myself visibly stiffen.

"Y/N I-"

"I should make us some..chamomile tea! Yeah. I like the taste a lot!"

She stands up abruptly making her almost trip. I didn't mean to make her nervous or deny it...
But in the end I decide not to push anything. She won't deny it when the time is right. Well rather when I myself accept what my heart tells me.

"Y/N I also like Chamomile tea but right now it's too late or rather early for that. Just lie down again."

Accepting my awkward smile she gives in.

Trying to forget the thing that just happened I somehow fell asleep I assume.
