Itachi Uchiha AU Fanfiction

Chapter 3

When you got to his apartment you stared in amazement. "WOW! IT'S SO BIG AND PRETTY!!" he winced as you ran in kicking off your shoes and running in. You spun around trying to take it all in. It looked like a hotel. Everything seemed to be sparkling, the walls, tables, chairs.

"Are you secretly rich Sensei!!"

"Please stop yelling." he stated calmly. You laughed covering your mouth. "Gomen, I just got really excited. " you fell back on the couch, letting out a content sound. "I can stay here forever." you mumbled. Itachi smiled. "How is she so calm in a man's home, a teacher no less." you really didn't see danger. Itachi wasn't someone you had to be worried about but still, what if he were. He gave a sigh. "At least I know she can defend herself. " he saw you fighting so many times. He felt a bit relieved that if you were ever in such a situation you would know how to handle yourself. You were still on the chair with a blissful expression. 

Itachi leaned forward when he felt the familiar irritation in his eyes. "Not again." he leaned against the wall this time, the action didn't go unnoticed by you. Your eyes scanned his form. You stood from your spot walking over to him with worry in your eyes. 

"Sensei..I know it may be none of my business. But if there is something wrong I would like to help if I can." you just assumed it was some kind of illness he had that he was too embarrassed to disclose to you. Whatever it was you could care less, you just hated seeing him so uncomfortable. 

He glanced at you contemplating something. He looked like he was having an internal battle. He placed his bag down, moving through the room. "Follow me." you obeyed, walking as he turned a corner. He opened a door and when you saw the sink as you entered you realized it was his bathroom. He raised his hand, digging around in a cabinet that was over the sink. He pulled out a small container. You just stood at the door, patiently waiting for him to say something.

 "The reason I've been having a hard time is not what you may think." he said. You listened as he continued. When he lifted his hand, placing a finger into his eyes you almost panicked. When you saw the clear contact on his finger you calmed down. He took out the other one and it all started to make sense. You laughed. He closed his eyes massaging his eyelids. "It's just contacts, why didn't you just say so. You were acting all secretive. There's nothing wrong with wearing them." He placed the small bottle down on the sink, turning to you with his eyes closed. 

"That wasn't the whole reason. " your brows furrowed. "What do you mean?" When his eyes reopened your stomach gave a weird flip. His eyes, they were a different color. They were red. There were three dots going around that circled his pupils. It was unlike anything you had ever seen before. "I have a birth defect. It's been in my family for years. People are usually unsettled by the sight of it, so I wear contacts. Although oftentimes they begin to irritate my eyes. " Your mouth was still hanging open. You hadn't said a word. Itachi felt a sinking feeling in his stomach. This is why he never said anything. He cleared his throat. "I know it must look-"

"Beautiful..." you stated. He wasn't expecting that. You were looking at him in a type of awe. This reaction was quite a shock to him. Not many people knew about this. Just  family and a few of his colleagues. None of the other students had even the slightest idea. A wide grin spread on your cheeks. "Your eyes are so cool why the hell do you hide them!!" you exclaimed. He blinked, wondering if this was some sad illusion his mind conjured. When he reopened you were closer to him. Itachi stumbled back slightly at your close proximity. You leaned in just staring, as if to get a better look. He swallowed a bit nervously now. "So cool.." you whispered. You looked completely taken by his eyes. He almost melted. You were staring at him with so much amazement. He straightened his back coughing, breaking whatever spell you were under.

"Shall we start." you took a step back rubbing your head. "Y-Yeah right sorry about that!" you said bashfully. You walked out the bathroom with a smile and Itachi let out a few unsteady breaths to calm his rapid heart beat. He couldn't understand how you could be so nonchalant about everything. He walked out after he fully gathered himself.

When he rounded the corner you were sitting at the table with your books out. You grinned at him, a chair already pulled out for him to sit. He held back a chuckle. He took a seat next to you, watching over what you wanted to start with. You pointed to the algebra book and he nodded.

"What is hard for you to understand?" His eyes were on the equations in your book, and when he didn't get a response he looked up. You were peering at him curiously. When you realized you had been caught staring you looked down quickly. He looked at you, amused. As the lessons went on, you kept sneaking glances at him. Itachi was flattered, but he wanted you to pay attention. "(L/N)-san." you stiffened trying to focus again, having been caught for the hundredth time. "H-Hai!" he smiled. "If you can indulge in work for an hour without distraction I promise you can stare at my eyes as much as you want. " you brightened. "Never mind that can I take a picture?"

"A..picture?" you nod. "Yeah, it's just so cool. I wanna save it as my screensaver." you said casually. He wondered at this point if you were really that much of an airhead that you found nothing wrong with asking you teacher for a picture of his face. You were just staring at him expectantly. "Very well, since this seems like the only way I can get you to stay on task." you cheered. "Yes! " with that you started to go through the work. You were true to your word. You gaze didn't linger on him, you tried your hardest to keep your eyes in the text.

When the hour had passed you didn't even notice. "That's about it. One hour." you looked up at the clock in surprise. "Woah really! Awesome." you closed your books, stuffing them into your bag. You pulled out your phone just as quickly.

"Stare...." 

Itachi sweatdropped at the look you were giving him. "Hurry and take the picture." he instructed. You moved your head to the side, as if in thought. "What is it?" he asked. You reached out, tucking a lock of his hair that slipped out of his ponytail. Your fingers brushed his skin and he froze for a second. "There, that's better. " you didn't waste a second, clicking the button, snapping a picture. You marvelled at the look in his eyes. He was still processing what had just happened. You'd done that so normal, as if it were an everyday thing.

You looked down at the picture elated. "Yosh, this is my new wallpaper!" you beamed. You stood up moving to the door as you slipped your shoes back on. "See ya later Sensei!!" you chirped. The closing of the door alerted him that you were no longer in the room.

It was at this moment he realized it, he'd gotten himself in some deep shit.
