Kiss of the Sharingan

Epilogue

He woke up to the blinding light, and frowned, while
carefully opening his eyelids looking around. He
was in the room with an opened window, and the
white curtain over it was shifting in the wind, as
the sweet and peaceful silence enveloped the
room. The white walls were lightened by the
blinding light from outside and he blinked, seeing
two headbands on the shelf.
They were black, and metal plates had the symbol
of the leaf, as both of them were entwined,
gracefully laying there, and waiting to be picked up
and tied… A moment later he widened his eyes and
shocked, slowly turned on his other side, to come
face to face with… Itachi. He was watching the
blond silently, as his head was resting on the
pillow, and his dark, black eyes, were showing
emotion of happiness, as it was accompanied by
the slight smile that graced his features. Slowly, the
blond laid on his side to face him, and pressed his
hands to the man's chest.
"You're still here,"He whispered, and blinked, as he
felt that he woudn't be able to stop the tears from
falling. He didn't think that Itachi would still be here,
and he knew he will miss him greatly, once the
man leaves.
"Of course I am here. I will always be," The man
whispered back, smiling a bit wider. Itachi rose
slightly, and kissed the blond's shoulder, "I love
you, Naruto,"He breathed out and a moment later
heard a quiet sob. Confused, he looked down at
Naruto's face and saw the pained expression.
He frowned and asked,"What's wrong?"But the teen
just shook his head and sobbing quietly, pressed
himself closer to the man. Itachi thought that
maybe Naruto did not believe him, or didn't expect
to hear these words. Or maybe, he always thought
that he will never hear them, because there couldn't
be anyone who would love him.
He embraced the blond tightly, and made sure his
lips were close to Naruto's ear. He smiled a bit,
and whispered,"I love you,"And then he gently
kissed the Naruto's cheek, catching the tears with
his lips. The teen slightly trembled in his embrace.
"I love you," Itachi said and pressed his lips to the
eyelids, gently kissing them too, and then he
nuzzled the teen's neck, continuing to whisper"I
love you… Naruto…"
