Low Pressure (Kakashi x Reader x Itachi)

Ch. 13- Decision (Itachi)

For those who chose Itachi:

3rd Person POV

Itachi was sitting at a table near the window in Izuna's cafe, watching the rain fall as he held his tea. He sighed because all he could think about was how blind he was not to notice or listen to you while he was fighting Kakashi. Itachi frowned when he remembered seeing you in the hospital in your injured state.

"Itachi! Are you listening to me, hn?!" Itachi snapped out of his thoughts but didn't flinch when Deidara yelled at him. Deidara was angry while he had a half-eaten dango in his hand. Sasori was beside him drinking his personal creation of grape soda and a mystery ingredient, if anyone drank it they'd be sent to the hospital. Kisame was beside Itachi, not paying attention to the rest of the guys near him and enjoying his tea. Itachi sighed and closed his eyes.

"No Deidara, I'm not listening to you complain about art in the present day." Itachi said while rolling his eyes and drinking the remaining tea he had in his cup. Deidara's face was full of tick marks as he reached out for the plate of Dangos at the center of the table. But before he could steal them, Itachi quickly pulled the plate to himself and gave Deidara a death glare.

"Tch, ever since the party you've all been annoying. Besides, Deidara you'll never understand true art." Sasori says as he is carving a mini puppet with a knife. Deidara was gonna say something until Sasori held the knife close to Deidara's neck without looking at him.

"Don't even say anything, or I'll kill you." Itachi sighed and stood up. The group watched him get up.

"What can you idiots even understand about me? You're too focused on yourselves to even see what I'm going through. I'm leaving, I'll see you later Kisame." Itachi said as he left his share of the bill and made his way out of the cafe. But before he could step outside, someone grabbed his shoulder. Itachi turned to see Madara and Izuna behind him.

"Yes?"

"Come with us to Izuna's office. And I'm not asking Itachi." Madara turned away while drinking coffee, making his way towards Izuna's office. Izuna had a poker face and sighed.

"Nii-san always acts like he runs the place, even though this is my business." Izuna rolled his eyes but followed his older brother. Itachi knew he was going to get lectured so he just went to get it over with. As they entered, Izuna sat on his desk while Madara sat down with his legs crossed. Itachi sat next to Madara, prepared to receive the blow of punishment.

"I want to know what actually happened from your point of view Itachi. Fugaku told me but there are still some things that don't add up."

Itachi POV

I was surprised that was the first thing Madara said instead of some smart remarks about the fight. Izuna looked just as shocked as me. I sighed and looked at the ground.

"Well, as you know, I was at a party with (Name) and we were having a great time until Kakashi interfered and pushed me away from her. We were both angry, so it resulted into fighting each other. I was so focused on winning that I never realized (Name) was trying to stop us and got hurt in the process. I feel like a fool, I let her get hurt.." I felt Izuna pat me on the back while Madara had his eyes closed, sipping his coffee.

"You're not an idiot, but what you did was foolish. Continue, what happened at the hospital." Madara said as he set his cup down on Izuna's desk.

"I apologized to (Name) and I fully told her how I felt. She forgave me but as for a response to my feelings... she has yet to tell me her answer." I pushed my hair back and sighed. Madara nodded as he understood.

"She also has feelings for Kakashi then?" Izuna said as he crossed his arms. I nodded, sad that it was true. No matter how much I love her, I can't forget she also loves him.

"Kakashi is her first love... I can't compete with that. I was thinking of letting her go so she could be with him. All I want is for (Name) to be happy..."

"Just because he is her first love, that doesn't mean she will choose him. It is (Name)'s decision, she will chose the person she can't possibly live without. Who has been there for her, and cared for her. Or at least that's how I see she will decide." Madara said as he looked directly at me.

"Yeah, don't give up yet Itachi. For all you know, if you give her up you'll break her heart because she was going to choose you." I stayed silent. I knew they were right. It's just I feel guilty for everything she's going through. Madara rested his hand on my shoulder. I looked at him, waiting for what he was gonna say.

"Don't blame yourself for these recent events, everything happens for a reason. Just be ready for when she decides to finally give you an answer. Whether it is everything you've hoped for or everything you wished to avoid." I nodded as I understood now what I had to do. I thanked Madara and Izuna as I left the Cafe.

As I walked in the rain back to the campus, I stopped at the crosswalk where (Name) almost got hit by a car. I looked up to the sky and closed my eyes as I felt the raindrops hit my face. I love her, if she chooses to be with me or not, I'll always be there for her.

I felt my phone ring. I ignored it for a little but then grabbed it because the ringing was annoying. I saw the caller ID and my eyes widened. It was (Name). I answered it right away.

"Hello?"

"Itachi... I'm ready to give you my answer."
