Touching the untouchable

Chapter 19

Itachi glared at the document in front of him. Sasuke was pushing it with the way he constantly comes to Naruto's desk to bother the blond with requests of going out to catch up etc.
Itachi could see that his foolish otouto was interested in the blond and is trying to get the blond to fall for him as well. Normally he would've been amused if it was anybody else that his little brother was trying to hit on but this is Naruto they were talking about. HIS Naruto. Itachi knows that the blond wouldn't cheat on him but he could see that the way Sasuke kept asking was making Naruto as annoyed as he was.

They had been dating for more than half a year and either Sasuke hasn't noticed that it has been a hot office rumour or that Sasuke doesn't care. Itachi narrowed his eyes, both seem possible. Naruto walked into his office angrily. "What did my foolish otouto do?" Naruto looked taken aback by that question, how did Itachi know what he was being mad about? "You might not be the easiest book to read but your anger about him is pretty obvious." Itachi said, smiling at the blond whose frown eased a little on the creases.
"Either Sasuke is too dense to get the hint or that he is extra oblivious to the fact that I already said I don't like him at all." Naruto said, attacking Sasuke with both assumptions. Itachi chuckled, shaking his head.

"Let him cry about it when he finally gets the hint." Itachi said, watching as a grin crossed Naruto's bright features. The mischevious grin said it all. "Don't break him too much, Naruto." Itachi reminded absently. The blond laughed, shaking his head. "Nah. I'll just sit and watch, too much effort to break him." Naruto joked, putting the file on Itachi's table.
"So what did Otouto do?" Itachi asked, curious. Naruto looked at him for a bit before shaking his head again and said that he wouldn't want to know. "I do want to know." Naruto pressed his lips together, Itachi is going to get really mad if Naruto told him.
"Sasuke groped me." Naruto muttered softly, hoping Itachi couldn't hear it but the look on Itachi's face told him that the Uchiha did hear it, loud and clear. "It's okay Itachi!" Naruto exclaimed, launching forward to hold back Itachi from seeking Sasuke out.

"He touched you." Itachi muttered, his voice void of emotions. Naruto pressed his lips together, thinking that it was Itachi being possessive. True, Itachi was a possessive type of person but that was not the reason why he was angry. What Itachi said next shocked Naruto, that was not the response he was expecting. "He touched you, he made you uncomfortable and made you upset." Itachi said softly, looking hurt. Naruto stopped pushing against Itachi, looking up at the Uchiha. Itachi reached his hand up to stroke Naruto's cheek. "You sure you don't want me to hit him?" Itachi asked, sounding hopeful that Naruto would want him to hit Sasuke.

"An Uchiha should never need to raise his fist against someone, let them raise their own fist and hit themselves with it."  Naruto said seriously, making it sound as deep as possible. Itachi almost laughed when he realised that Naruto is basically saying that they should go f* themselves.
"But Sasuke is an Uchiha-"

"I said against someone, I never said they couldn't raise it against themselves." Naruto interrupted calmly before taking a deep breath and answered his phone that vibrated. Itachi went back to his desk, waiting for Naruto to finish. The blond was speaking in a language that he did not understand but the blond kept glancing over at him, making the feeling of curiosity crawl at his skin. "Russia was wondering if you wanted to go over." Naruto said, looking through the dates to see if there was any way that he could fit in a trip to Russia for Itachi and make it back to Japan in time for the other meetings and conferences. Naruto made a face at his phone. It is possible but that would mean a tight schedule and that Itachi would be extremely tired from having to fly for so long.

"What do they need?"

"Well, there is that little problem with the corporation at Russia's side and they refuse to reach a compromise with each other, they were hoping your presence could help." Itachi wanted to hit his head on the table, such a simple task of getting other companies to co-operate with them and they still can't do it. Itachi took a deep breath, holding it as he drummed his fingers on the table. Sometimes he wondered why he didn't push the job as a CEO onto Sasuke instead. That's right, he can't.

"I'll go fix your itinerary." Naruto said and was about to leave when Itachi called him back. "Remember to pack enough warm clothes, Naruto." the blond blinked, why did he need to pack clothes? "You are coming as well, my secretary should always come with me. I just don't bring them along because they get too annoying." Itachi said, muttering the last bit.

"Aw, I'm not annoying?" Naruto cooed, going over to place kisses all over Itachi's face, carefully avoiding the Uchiha's lips. Naruto knew that it tugs at Itachi's possessive side when Naruto refuses to kiss him on the lips. Itachi grabbed Naruto's collar and gave him a small tug, just throwing the blond off balance slightly to still him. Itachi pressed a gentle kiss on Naruto's lips before pulling away and pushing Naruto to stand properly. Naruto blinked and made a face at the quick kiss before sending Itachi a mock glare.

"I'll see you later for dinner." Itachi said, turning back to look at the document before him. "Yes, I love you too." Naruto said softly as a soft smile graced Itachi's lips.
