Pierced by His Eyes ~Itachi love story~ 41

Reika’s P.O.V.

After my long shower, I put on (Outfit on the side). My black hair had grown longer and it reached the back of my knees, I decided to put it into two ponytails and curl them so they were really poufy and big. Once I was done, I could hear everyone start going to the breakfast table. Instead of going towards the kitchen, I started walking to Itachi’s room. I politely knocked on the door, and stood there for a couple of seconds. He did not answer. Maybe he already went to eat breakfast. I quietly opened the door to make sure, and it seemed that my assumption was wrong. Itachi lying on his side, facing away from the door on his bed.

“Whoever you are, get out,” Itachi’s voice was hollow and raspy.

I walked over to him slowly, and I stretched my arm out to touch his shoulder lightly.

“I told y—“he didn’t complete his sentence.

He leaned upwards and faced me while half of his body was still lying down. His eyes were wider than Jupiter itself.

“Ita—“he cut me off before I could finish saying his name and my apology by hugging me tightly to his chest.

“I’m sorry,” he started.

“I’m so, so, so sorry Reika,” he said with a tone laced with complete sorrow and angst.

I couldn’t help myself I started crying in his arms and he only held me tighter. He rubbed my back and placed small kisses on the top of my head. He pulled back, lifted me up off the ground, and kissed me gently. I couldn’t help but wrap my arms around his neck and kiss back. I missed him so damn much. He completed me, made me who I am. My thoughts were erased in to the kiss. I could feel Itachi’s body, it wasn’t what it used to be. He was weaker, he still had a defined tone but he had gotten skinnier. How do I know this by only feeling his stomach through his shirt, and touching mine?  It’s just something that a caring girlfriend would have to know. I broke the kiss needing some air, I looked in his eyes and he wiped away one of my tears. I locked our fingers together and looked up at him.

“Itachi… Have you been eating much?” I asked concerned.

He looked down avoiding eye contact with me, “N-no,” he answered truthfully.

I put my hand on his cheek, “Don’t worry sweetie I’ll help you get back to normal, I’m here now, you don’t have to worry.”

He nodded in agreement and gave me a weak smile. I smiled back.

“First I’ll make you a protein shake to help you gain some strength in your muscles. How does that sound?”

“Same old Reika, Always taking care of someone,” He said

“Hey, I can’t help it, when friends are in need, I help, that’s just who I am.”
