The Price Of Loving Him... (Itachi x reader)

Chapter 112

I do not own pic!

You walked around with Itachi through the streets of the village under the snow, it was so beautiful, people walking around and kids enjoying playing with the snow, Itachi didn't mind you join a group of them who were busy making a snowman, you ended up pulling him with you to play and make a snowman a well, you can see the happiness on Itachi's face as he played with the kids, it was a good idea you brought your camera with you, you took some photos of you and Itachi in the snow with the kids, as the children also helped you taking pics of the two of you.

You have been sitting in a cafe sipping your warm latte as Itachi had some tea with dango as usual, you two sat beside the window facing each other and watching the snow still falling outside, looking beautiful under the streetlights as it started to get dark.
"So Itachi, what did you want to talk with me about?", you asked him quietly taking a sip from your cup as he looked at you, good you have asked [name].
"[name], it's time for you to leave the Akatsuki, you have stayed there more than you should", he said calmly, touching his cup with his finger, thinking...
"Yes I know...but I don't think it will be easy", you said with a sigh putting your cup down.
"Maybe, but it will happen, the easy way or the hard way, this is probably your last mission with the Akatsuki, and this is probably the last time you go to that hideout", Itachi said, in a deep yet calm voice, lifting his cup in his hand and taking a sip from it.
"Do you have any plans?", you asked, looking at him with hopeful eyes, this is starting to be tiring, at first you were meant to only heal the members, then go on missions, what next? You miss your old calm life.
"Leave this to me [name], it was me who brought you there and it will be me who will get you out of it", Itachi said, a small smile on his face.
"Itachi...", you said in a low voice with a bit of hesitation.
"Yes [name]?", he looked at you waiting for what are you gonna say.
"Um...can I still see Kisame at least? When you come to our village bring him with you sometimes for a visit...", you said, looking down at your cup then up to him, seeing the perplexed look on his face, before his face expression softened and he started chuckling.
"Sure if that's what you want, anything else?", he said taking another sip from his tea as you shook your head no with a sheepish smile.

"Alright then, now about our marriage, [name]...", he started the second subject with you as you nodded, listening carefully to what he is about to say, "yes, Itachi, I'm listening"
"[name]...I want it to be a secret marriage, I mean I don't want a big ceremony and all, just us and lady Noriko and maybe a friend or two if you wanted, we contract the marriage, and it's over", he said in a serious voice, looking at your face trying to figure out what are you thinking.
You have been dreaming of this day ever since you were a young girl, like every other girl who wants to be wedded to the one she loves, you wanted to celebrate it and make it a good memory that you will remember until the last day of your life, but here is Itachi telling you it will be a secret marriage, should you just agree? You know he wants this for some safety reasons but still...
"[name], you are disappointed, right?...", he said as noticed no reaction from you, you only remained silent staring at you cup...
But you love Itachi and you were already aware of his situation, you have come this far with him, a simple condition like this shouldn't make an obstacle between you two, also...it's for your own favor, you will not have to explain anything to anyone or discredit the rumors that will spread for sure...

"No, it's fine...", you finally said, smiling at him, noticing the relief on his face, good, you are not upset.
"You mean it [name]?"
"Yes...Itachi listen, I'm ready to live under a rock with you if I have to", you said with a giggle, as he chuckled as well, before taking your hand in his, gently caressing it then putting a kiss on it's back, "you don't give me a choice but to love you more [name]", the Uchiha said calmly in a sweet and husky voice, as you blushed and smiled, intertwining your fingers with his, but just then...
You giggled seeing Kisame in farthest side of the cafe sitting at a table watching you two, as he rested his cheek on his palm, with a cup of warm tea in front of him, staring at you two with a smug smirk on his face, who would have thought the emotionless Uchiha brother would turn out to be a Romeo...

It was after dinner, you were already back to your room, laying down in your places enjoying the warmth and the softness of your futons, the room was dark except for the dim light coming from the night light near your futon.
"[name], you still up?", Itachi called you, just a soft whisper as you nodded, facing him while he watched your sleepy face.
"Yes 'tachi", you said, in a faint voice, barely can be heard with sleepiness clear in it.
"Babe we will get married once you leave the organization, and after we totally finish preparing and furnishing our home", he said, putting a kiss on the top of your head, and playing with your hair.
"Yes...", you replied with a small nod and a smile, your eyes still closed.
"Babe?", he called again, thinking you might had slept.
"Yes 'tachi?", you said in a very low voice with a small yawn in the end.
"...nothing...", he whispered with a small chuckle, making sure you're well covered then turning off the lights and getting to sleep as well.

It was late at night, the snow was still falling outside making no noise and just laying a thick white layer on the ground. You and Itachi were sleeping deepily as you rested your head on his chest sleeping deepily, the only sounds that can be heard were yours and Itachi's breathing and light snoring, dreaming about each other...
