Collared (Dom!UchihaItachi x Sub!Malereader)

Part 18

''Are you ready love?'' Itachi asks you as the two of you prepare to take a walk outside. Your son, who is named Seiji, is strapped on your chest. ''Yes I'm ready.'' You grab Itachi's hand and smile up at him. This will be the first time you will go to the village and not just the clan compound. Of course you are still afraid of their reactions but, with your mate by your side and your son on your chest, you can take on anything.

Itachi knows you're nervous so he makes sure to distract you while walking towards the village. ''So what do you want to get from the market?'' You look at him and start to think. ''I want to get some toys or clothes for Seiji. I know we have plenty of clothes but all of those were given to us. I want to buy some myself.'' You smile up at Itachi and see him smiling fondly at you. ''Then we will find some great clothes for our Seiji. Don't you want something for yourself as well?''

''I don't need anything. I already have everything I need.'' Itachi chuckles at you and squeezes your hand. ''Typically you. Only thinking about the needs of others.'' Itachi presses a kiss to your lips and you slowly turn red. ''You really need to think more about yourself.'' ''I-I do.'' Itachi just chuckles at you. You pout up at him to show him your displeasure. Itachi kisses your pouty lips yet again. ''You are just asking for it with that adorable pout of yours.'' ''I-It's not adorable.'' Itachi just laughs at your flustered state.

Without you realizing you have reached the village and are close to the market. You tense up and grip Itachi's hand tighter. ''You know we don't need to do this today love. We can take our time.'' You can't help but love Itachi's understanding nature, but you have to do this. You need to be a good example for Seiji. ''I can do this.'' You look at Itachi with determination. ''Alright lets go then.'' Before Itachi starts walking again he kisses both you and Seiji on the forehead.

The two of you enter the village and start to walk towards the market. The closer you get to the market the busier the streets get. When you reach the market, the villagers start to notice you. You just grip Itachi's hand tighter and he squeezes your hand to comfort you. ''Remember. I'm here for you.'' You nod at Itachi and the two of you enter the market. You can see some people whispering while looking at you.

Some eyes are filled with disgust and others with surprise. The surprise most likely comes from the fact that the Uchiha heir is holding your hand and walking beside you. When Itachi notices someone looking at you with disgust in their eyes he bares his teeth to them and scares them off. You stop walking when you notice a stand selling clothes for children. Itachi looks at you when you suddenly stop and notices you staring at something. He follows your gaze and sees the stand. He smiles and starts to walk towards the stand dragging you behind him.

The owner smiles when he sees Itachi stop in front of his stand but his smile falls when he sees you next to him. You ignore it and decide to look at the clothes. You look around until a wolf onesie catches your eye. It's so adorable! You grab the onesie and inspect it. The owner looks at you with disgust when you pick up the onesie. ''Tachi. Look! It's so cute!'' Itachi looks at the onesie and smiles at you. ''You are right its lovely. It will suit Seiji well.''

You move your cloak away and look down to your chest and see Seiji looking up at you. ''Oh look who's awake. Hey sweetie. Look what mommy has for you.'' Itachi smiles at your interaction with Seiji. He notices that the owner's eyes are filled with disgust even more when he sees the pup strapped on your chest. Itachi grabs the attention of the owner. ''We would like to buy that onesie.'' ''I'm sorry sir but it's not for sale.''

You look up when you hear the owner's words. Your smile quickly falls when you realize why he says such a thing. You look around to see multiple people now staring at you and your pup. Looking at both you and your pup in hatred and disgust while smiling at the actions of the owner. You quickly cover Seiji up not wanting to expose him to the hateful glares of the villagers.

Itachi sees your expression and anger starts to fill him. ''What did you say? It's on your stand so it's for sale is it not.'' ''It is but not for the offspring of the freak. I rather burn it than sell it to him.'' The owner looks smug when he sees your expression sadden even more not noticing the dominate aura filling with anger. ''What did you say about my mate and pup!?'' The villagers and owner's faces fill with surprise at the information given to them.

''Y-your m-mate and p-pup?'' The owner stutters while looking from you to Itachi. ''Yes they are mine and I will not let you disrespect them. I will make sure the Hokage punishes you for your actions. This will never happen again am I clear?'' The owner nods at Itachi in fear. Itachi turns towards you and sees you looking down with a downtrodden expression. He walks towards you and pulls you in for a hug. You bury your face in his chest. ''Lets go love. We will come back another day.'' You nod as you separate from him. You try to put back the onesie but Itachi stops you. ''No we will take it as compensation.''

You nod at him and you hold hands again. The way back home is silent as Itachi muses about what actions to take. You just want to go home and lie in your nest with your mate and pup. Itachi pulls you in his side and kisses you on the head. ''Everything will be alright. I promise you.'' You can't help but trust your mate and nod at him.
