The Last

Chapter 6

"Aren't you going to introduce us to your friend?" Menma asked lightly with a grin on his face, hoping to lighten the tension. None of them had missed the fact that Naruto looked like he was trying to shrink himself as he hid behind Itachi. "I-I..." Naruto stuttered softly and his voice faltered, panic evident in his eyes. Itachi felt Naruto gripping his hand tightly, like a child that was extremely afraid. "Hey hey. It's okay Naruto. You don't have to if you don't want to." Kaguya raised her hands and gestured, almost as if trying to tell him to calm down. They watched as the panic in Naruto start to rise. "Naruto? It's okay. I'm here. Breathe." Itachi said giving Naruto's hand a squeeze and trying to get the boy to look at him. Naruto looked at him with wide eyes, his body trembling. "Please Naruto. I'm sorry for pushing." Menma said as he watched in horror that his little brother was hyperventilating and looking like he was in so much danger. The tall man with him was murmuring, trying to calm Naruto as well. They watched Naruto, the boy clenched and unclenched his hand as if trying to steel himself. "This is Itachi Uchiha, my uh." He looked to Itachi, unsure whether Itachi wants them to know about their relationship or not. "I'm his boyfriend." Itachi said without a shed of hesitation. Kaguya suddenly trembled and Naruto looked afraid, as if thinking that she might get mad. "Uh oh. Run run run. She's gonna-" Menma said as he reached out to hold onto Kaguya but was a second too late as Kaguya had almost bolted up towards the couple.
"GIMME PICTURESSSSSS." Kaguya said excitedly as she lunged at the couple. "Pleaseeee. I need this. I need my yaoi fix. Pretty pleaseeee." Naruto blinked. This is really strange.
"Come now Kaguya. We don't wanna disturb them any longer now do we?" Ahri said, trying to coax her sister to leave the couple alone. Kaguya screeched, clutching onto the railing, refusing to leave until she got what she wanted. Itachi took out his phone from his back pocket and gestured for Kaguya's. "Just one, okay?" Itachi said and she nodded eagerly, one was better than nothing.
"Awwwwwww!" Kaguya squealed at the photo Itachi sent to her. It was a photo of Itachi and Naruto together in a cat cafe. She beamed at the couple, almost like she was proud of something before she bounced down the stairs so that the couple could get on with their business. Naruto looked at Itachi before pulling the taller man into his room for what they had been here for in the first place.

"What happened back there?" Itachi asked Naruto softly as they reached the privacy of Naruto's room. He pulled Naruto into him for an embrace, waiting for the smaller boy to respond. Naruto wrapped his arms around Itachi's waist tightly almost as if Itachi would disappear if he held him too loosely. Naruto breathed in his precious boyfriend's scent as he tried to calm himself down. Itachi patted Naruto's head gently, still waiting patiently for an answer. "I just. I don't know. They never really spoke to me or notice me. But nowadays they are taking so much notice of me. It just. It's weird, I still don't know if I like that attention or not. So far I'm leaning closer towards the 'not' side." Naruto said, as he leaned his head on Itachi's shoulder. Itachi has started swaying their bodies a little, almost like slow dancing. "So are you saying you don't like attention?"
"Yeah well. Sort of. It's uncomfortable."
"So you don't like the attention I give you?" Itachi teased, making Naruto look up at him. The look in Naruto's eyes made him regret teasing. Naruto looked so frightened. "No no no no. That's not what I meant. Itachi I- " Naruto said quickly but was interrupted by Itachi.
"Shhh. It's okay. It's okay. I was just teasing you." Itachi reassured, kissing the tip of Naruto's nose. "You're the most beautiful person I've ever laid my eyes upon. I love you so very much." Itachi said, looking at Naruto who was looking at him with wide eyes, like he was shocked by that statement.
"I love you too." Naruto paused for a bit before continuing. "I'm pretty sure there are other people that you've met that's prettier than I will ever be."
Itachi frowned. He doesn't like it when Naruto always seem like he doesn't like himself.
"Nahh. They aren't really my cup of tea." Itachi purred into Naruto's ear, making him shiver at the seductive voice. Itachi nibbled at Naruto's ear, eliciting a giggle from Naruto. Why is he so freaking adorable? God help me control myself.
