Truth or Dare [ItaSasu] AU

Friday

A/N: a super super suuuper short part, because I was stuck on this for ages and just need to move on. So here goes nothing, literally.

School never went by as slowly as it did today. My head was full of thoughts about Itachi and what he wanted to talk to me about. After the class we had together, he told me to meet him where we met before. I wasn't looking forward to the long ride, but I was definitely eager to get there as fast as possible. Before I was able to leave, I ran into Sakura. She wanted us to go study together, but I told her off with a simple excuse that it was Friday and I was going to go to town. Of course she wanted to come with me, but somehow I was able to talk her out of it. I was surprised at how fast the bus ride went by this time, perhaps because I already knew what was ahead of me and didn't have to pay too much attention so I wouldn't get off at the wrong stop by accident. I was listening to music, bopping with my fingers to the rhythm on my thigh. The bus was almost empty, so I wasn't worried about anyone noticing me.

When I finally arrived and went inside the coffee shop, Itachi was already there. As expected, since he traveled by a car and the ride was drastically faster for him than it was for me. His presence was somehow beaming, it was hard to not notice him. I walked over to him and sat down across him. He was holding a white mug in his right hand, the steam still raising up from the hot tea. Before I was even able to say anything, the girl from before hurried over with a smile on her face.

"Welcome to Maisie's, I'm Izumi." I could tell she recognised me. "Would you like the coffee again? No milk or sugar?" She added, holding her notepad and a pen.

"Yeah, thanks." I replied and she quickly left. "So, what did you want to talk about?"

"I'm sure you know, Sasuke."

"I think you'll have to enlighten me, Itachi. I was anxiously waiting the whole day. What is it?"

"I need to make sure that you will keep what happened yesterday to yourself."

"Who do you think I am? A teenage girl that will write a blog about this?" I rolled my eyes. Izumi came with my coffee and I thanked her. After she left, I spoke again. "What would I gain from telling anyone anyway?"

"I don't know, maybe you could use it to blackmail me, the possibilities are endless."

"Do you really think so little of me? I think I'm a bit offended."

"Look, Sasuke. I am just looking out for myself, alright? It's nothing personal."

"It seemed very personal yesterday when you kissed me."

"This is exactly why I wanted you to come here." He shook his head slightly. "You can't just say this out loud like this. It was a mistake."

"Was it though? I'm sure we both enjoyed ourselves. You sure seemed like you have, after you calmed down a bit."

"This isn't a joke, I could lose my job."

"Oh calm down, it's not like I'm just going to go and tell anyone. Do you think I want people to know about this? It would be the only thing they would see when they looked at me if they knew. The guy that made out with the hot teacher. I'm more than that. No thanks."

"I think I should be offended now, right?" he raised his eyebrows. "I'm glad we're on the same page though."

"I might blackmail you a little though." I said. He looked horrified.

"What?"

"Well, you know. Black mail you into doing it again."

"Sasuke," he sighed but seemed relieved. "You know it's not going to happen again, right? I am your teacher."

"So? Even teachers have needs, besides the desire to teach others."

"I don't think you know how this works exactly."

"Well, it doesn't matter. If you don't want to do it, you don't want to do it. That's fine. But you will." I shrugged. "If you insist on not going along with it, I will have to talk to the principal about this, of course. I'm sure that he will be very interested in hearing about this."

"You're not being serious, are you?"

"Of course." I laughed.

"Alright, good. Don't scare me like this." He took a sip of his tea.

"No, you don't understand. I am being serious."
