CROW (ITACHI X READER)

Chapter 3:

Y/N

Stupid cunt. Was the initial thought that burst in my mind when Izuna started crying before I scolded myself.

I held the crying boy in my arms, trying to suppress the urge to cause violence on the woman that was the cause of this.

I cleared my throat. "Hey, now. You're crying all over your chicken nuggets. You can't do that!" I acted outraged and he giggled at my wide eyed face.

The sound instantly calmed my rage and I gave him a smile while wiping his tears.

"You're right." He nodded in determination and I pushed his hair back with a wink.

He turned towards his food and I took a deep breath, Itachi's chuckle drew my attention to him.

"Crazy how easy it is, huh?"

"How easy what is?" I questioned and he jutted his chin to his son.

"That instinct to protect. I can see why you became a teacher." His lips tipped up and my face flushed.

"Well to be honest, I care for all my kids but.. I've never grown attached." I looked at Izuna with a soft smile, the kid was fucking cute.

I looked back at Itachi and the look in his eyes caused my breath to hitch, lust and adoration swirled but he also looked proud? It was jarring.

He cleared his throat. "If it makes you feel better, he's attached too."

I chuckled. "How can you tell?"

"Because he doesn't last an hour at schools, this was the first and I'm sure it was because of you." He said seriously and I gulped, he was much more intimidating.

"I'm glad he enjoys it, he has a bright future ahead of him." Izuna looked up at me and I lightly pinched his cheek, causing them to turn pink.

I chuckled at him and brought my attention back to Itachi, the conversation flowed throughout dinner and the bottle of wine we ordered for dessert.

We talked majority about surface level things and I didn't realized how long we sat there until I looked around and noticed the restaurant was empty.

My eyes widened. "Oh my God, I didn't notice we were the only ones left." I tried my hardest to keep quiet, not wanting to wake up the sleeping toddler in my lap.

Itachi's lips twitched. "Well we do have a lot of catching up to do and it's just as easy as it was before."

"What is?"

His gaze portrayed his honesty. "To get lost in you."

My face heated and I cleared my throat. "Sure." I said sarcastically with a chuckle.

"You don't believe me?"

"Why haven't they kicked us out yet?" I questioned instead of answering and his smirk showed he knew what I was doing.

I was enjoying tonight but I refused to get my hopes up like I did when I was a younger, I gave my heart to him but have since then kept a protective hand around it.
