CROW (ITACHI X READER)

Chapter 19:

Itachi

"I don't like this." Sasuke crossed his arms over his chest and glared at me, he better watch it because I am so fucking close to killing him.

He thought it was smart to not only interrupt my perfect morning and breakfast with my woman and son but demanded I meet with him in my office.

Demanded. The little shit needed to be put in his fucking place.

"I really don't give a fuck, Sasuke. Do as your told."

His glare hardened. "I'm not a kid anymore, Itachi."

"Then stop acting like a fucking child."

Jesus. I never swear this much but i'm so past the point of calm and that's not like me. I raised a brow when his mouth opened and he smartly shut it. I repressed a sigh and leaned back in my chair.

"Why don't you like this? Hm?" I drawled.

"Exposing her to the public will make her a target and in turn, hurt you."

I knew where he was coming from, it was dangerous to bring y/n into the limelight and show the world she was mines but who fucking cares. I wanted the vermin I couldn't reach to come out of hiding because she was on my arm. That's it.

Right. The voice in my head said and I cursed him.

I spent months hiding her, mostly because I wanted her all to myself, to burrow myself into her veins. I also knew subconsciously that I didn't want to hide her anymore.

Such a conundrum, keep her all to myself or go forward. In the months that she came back into my life, my mind waged against the organ, I thought died long ago.

My heart knew that she deserves better than this, me, but for some reason, I couldn't let her go. It physically hurt me to not show her off to the world and in the same breath- I also didn't want anyone to know about her. I wanted us in this bubble for a little while longer.

Would she be a target? Absofuckinglutely. Do I care? Not one fucking bit.... Maybe a little but not enough to deter me.

"You think I can't protect her?" I raised a brow, my patience thinning by the millisecond and he sighed heavily.

"That's not what I meant and you know it."

"Enlighten me, little brother. Because if I recall, when I told you not to expose Sakura you told me 'fuck you, she's my wife and the world deserves to know'

"And she was targeted for it, Itachi. They fucking came after her! Your enemies and she nearly died!"

"Lower. Your. Fucking. Voice." I threatened lowly while I stood and got in his face.

"Afraid she'll hear? Huh? Does she even know everything?" He taunted and the urge to punch him hit me full force; getting worse when he chuckled. "Of course she doesn't. She doesn't get all of you, none of us do, right, Itachi?"

My lips pulled up into what I assumed was a manic smile, Sasuke faltered and before he could blink, I had a hand squeezing his throat and his back flush against the wall.
