Chapter 20
"Thanks for giving me a ride, un," Deidara said gratefully as the car stopped right in front of the huge building.
"Hey, no worries," Naruto grinned. "Do you need me to drive you back home?"
"No, Itachi will take me home. He'll probably freak if he knew you drove me, un," Deidara replied dryly and swept his hair over his shoulder. The freak out was practically inevitable, though. With Deidara's car in the garage for a check-up, the only way Deidara could get to Itachi's office was if someone else drove him.
"As if I would let anything bad happen to my best friend and my godson," Naruto grumbled, scowling at his steering wheel.
"He knows that, Naruto-kun, but you know how protective Alpha can get when it comes to this, un," Deidara sighed and almost automatically his hand came down to rub his stomach in which he had been housing his first child for five months already. He couldn't help but smile when he felt a soft nudge back. Since two weeks he had been able to feel his baby move around and the flutter like sensation – not firm kicks or nudges quite yet – never failed to put a smile on his face.
"When's your next check-up?" Naruto asked curiously and his eyes gleamed in excitement.
"In a week. I got one on Friday afternoon, un," the older Omega answered and patted his belly gently. "We'll known the sex by then."
"Unless the baby's as stubborn as his daddy," Naruto retorted cheekily and laughed when Deidara punched his arm.
They both looked up when rain started clattering on the roof of the car. Outside the people either searched for cover in the stores or hastily pulled out an umbrella.
"You wouldn't think it is spring with this weather," Naruto grumbled and then reached behind his seat, scrambling to get something.
"What are you doing?" Deidara raised an eyebrow, watching with growing amusement how his friend's face grew red as he struggled to grab whatever it was that he wanted to grab.
"Here." A dark orange umbrella was pressed into his hands.
Sky blue eyes looked down in surprise. "What?"
"You can borrow it." Naruto nodded at the rain which was now streaming down heavily. "You'll look like a drowned cat, otherwise, by the time you're inside."
"It's not that far, un." Deidara rolled his eyes and attempted to hand the umbrella back.
"Look, I'll already be on Itachi's shit list for daring to give you a ride here. At the very least let me protect myself by keeping you dry," Naruto said dryly.
"He's not that bad, un," Deidara muttered petulantly, fingers trailing over the folds in the umbrella.
The younger blond chuckled. "Keep believing that. Anyway, as much as I enjoy your company and I'd love to have the chance to annoy the fuck out of Itachi, I promised Kiba I would help him out at the kennel."
"Fine, I'll go, un," Deidara smiled and opened his umbrella as soon as he opened the door. "Don't let the dogs escape – again."
"That was one time!" Naruto squawked indignantly.
Deidara laughed and then hurried – as quickly as he could – to the building; the umbrella protecting him from the onslaught of heavy rain. Naruto honked once in goodbye – causing various people to throw his jeep a filthy look – and Deidara waved at him, watching how his friend drove off. Shaking off the umbrella, he closed it and stepped inside, the glass automatic doors closing behind him with a soft hissing sound as they slid against auburn coloured carpet.
His sneakers squeaked against the tiled floor as he made his way to the lobby, where a dark brown haired woman was typing away furiously, occasionally consulting a thick binder next to her on the desk.
"Excuse me?" Deidara halted in front of the large, oak desk, careful to keep the wet umbrella away from the dark wood.
"Yes?" She looked up with a friendly smile. "Can I help you?"
"Yes, I'm on my way to visit Uchiha Itachi, but I don't know which floor he is on, un," he explained sheepishly. Itachi had mentioned it once in passing, but at the time Deidara had been busy with a project and it had just gone in one ear, right out of the other. This was the first time he was actually visiting Itachi at his work and considering it was supposed to be a surprise, it would have been suspicious if Deidara had suddenly asked the floor number again.
Light green eyes studied him and then something akin to recognition lit up her eyes. "Ah! You're his husband, right?"
He blinked, taken aback. "Ah, yes, I am. How do you …"
"There was an article written about your marriage and there was a picture of the two of you in it," she explained smiling. "Uchiha-sama's office is on the fifteenth floor."
"Thank you, un," he smiled and turned around. Now that she had mentioned it, he had seen an unknown photographer lurking around on their wedding day. They had hired one of Naruto's acquaintances, a guy named Sai, to act as their wedding photographer, but somewhere around noon, the Omega had taken notice of another photographer taking pictures. At the time he had dismissed it as one of Sai's colleagues, but now he realised that man must have been from the press.
He knew Itachi was an important man in the business world, but that he had been warranted important enough to have his wedding written about in the press … It boggled Deidara's mind.
The elevator was quite fancy: the floor was covered with dark blue carpet; every button shone gold – and it wouldn't surprise him if they were actually covered in gold – and sparkled underneath the gentle light and music was played softly. The elevator rose smoothly up; the numbers flashing rapidly across the small screen until it suddenly stopped and the doors opened soundlessly, revealing a long hallway filled with offices of which the majority had their doors closed.
Every office door bore the name of its owner and sky blue eyes slid across each nameplate. He didn't recognise most of the names, bar two: Kakuzu's – whose office was closed, but that did nothing to diminish the threats spilling through and the blond felt sorry for whoever had brought Kakuzu's wrath upon them – and Kisame's. The latter's office was open and it revealed nobody inside. The large, muscled man must be out, talking to a client most likely.
Itachi's office was at the end of the hallway and next to the door was the desk of his secretary. She was called Rin and Deidara recalled her having attended the wedding. She had informed him with an impish look on her face that he didn't have to worry, for she had cleared Itachi's schedule for the entire week so that they could enjoy their honeymoon.
She looked up and a bright smile unfurled on her face when she saw him. "Deidara-san! It's so good to see you! How are you doing?"
He laughed, halting in front of her desk. "I'm fine, thanks. Still figuring out which food I can eat without the baby protesting, but overall I'm doing well. You, un?"
"Busy period is over now, so I have more free time," she chuckled, twirling a pen between her slender fingers. "You're looking for Itachi-san?"
He nodded. "Is he in his office?"
"No, he had a meeting with the board, but he should be here soon," she assured him. "You can leave your umbrella next to my desk and take the seat right there." She pointed at a chair with a dark blue cushion, which looked quite invitingly.
"Thanks, I'll leave the umbrella here th- "
"You're not going to let him go in first, are you?" a sharp voice interrupted him and he turned around surprised. A woman with long, white blonde hair and pale grey eyes, dressed in a white shirt, a black jacket and a short, black skirt, came marching to them. The carpet barely managed to muffle the sounds of her heels as she practically drove them into the floor.
When Deidara turned to look at Rin, he raised an eyebrow when he saw the frozen, polite smile on her face.
"Your meeting with Uchiha-san was two hours ago, Otsutsuki-san," Rin reminded the woman with a cool smile.
Otsutsuki huffed annoyed. "I had a meeting with an important client. I'm here now, so where is Uchiha?"
"He is currently meeting with the board, but you can wait here. His schedule is full, though, so you might not - " Rin started to explain, but was cut off rudely by the blonde woman.
"I have a meeting with him today, so he'll just need to make time for me." Pale grey eyes landed on Deidara and her upper lip curled up in a sneer when she took in the obvious bump he was sporting. "I am not certain what you think you're doing here, though, dressed like that."
He raised an eyebrow, annoyance flaring up at her dismissive sneer. "Not that it is any of your business, un, but I'm meeting Itachi here."
"Do you allow people like him to address your boss so familiarly?" Otsutsuki demanded, addressing Rin again.
She blinked, looking bemused. "Otsutsuki-san, he has every right to, considering - "
"Because in my company we wouldn't allow employees to address the higher-ups so brazenly," Otsutsuki bit out and she threw a speculative look at his belly. "Then again, I suppose I shouldn't expect much of a company that keeps pregnant people hired. Your productivity can't be high if you keep people like him employed. And you're supposed to be one of the leading companies in your field? Simply astonishing."
Rin could only gape, but Deidara wasn't that dumbfounded. He was, however, pissed off.
"How about you shut the hell up, you stupid bitch, before you - "
"What is going on here?" Itachi's smooth voice made their heads turn around. The Alpha stood a few feet behind Otsutsuki, his briefcase held loosely in his hand, as he raised an eyebrow at the scene.
"Oh, Uchiha-san," Otsutsuki said and she looked visibly taken aback, as if she had expected someone completely different. "I didn't know you were this young."
"Did you perhaps expect my father?" Itachi asked mildly.
"I had heard that Fugaku-san had taken a step back, but I though he still led the company," she answered and smiled brightly. "But I admire you for taking over the company at such a young age. Not many people would be able to do that." She took a few steps closer to the dark haired man and placed her hand – the red nail polish was a sharp contrast against her pale skin – on Itachi's arm. "Why don't we start our meeting now? We can discuss the merger while …"
"Weren't you my ten o'clock appointment?" Itachi inquired speculatively. "You're quite late."
Otsutsuki chuckled weakly. "Oh, well, I had a meeting with a client who took longer than expected, which as a leader of such an innovative and important company are yourself will probably understand. I apologise for my tardiness, but we can certainly start the meeting - "
"I thought you weren't interested in a company who kept people like me employed, un?" Deidara sneered and crossed his arms, more than fed up by the drivel that was coming out of this woman's mouth. Talk about being a hypocritical bitch.
Dark eyes shot to him with curiosity lingering in their depths. "Did I somehow miss you being hired?" Itachi asked amused, cocking his head faintly to the right.
Otsutsuki suddenly whirled around to face the blond and she pointed an accusing finger at him. "So not only do you have the nerve to act so familiar with Uchiha-san, but you even had the gall to come up here and demand to see him without being employed? This right here is the reason why they should throw low life scum like you on - "
"That 'low life scum' you're talking to is my mate and my husband," Itachi cut her off and his entire demeanour changed abruptly. The beginning of a teasing smile disappeared completely and the warm glint in his eyes – only reserved for a few people – melted away, making place for cold, hard eyes. He seemed broader somehow, his aura sparking; this was the look of a very pissed off Alpha.
Otsutsuki froze. Her hand dropped to lifelessly hand next to her hip and she very slowly turned around, becoming even paler than she already was. "I'm – sorry. Your what?"
"He is my mate and my husband who is currently carrying my child," Itachi spoke coldly. "Mind, even if he hadn't been, you still had no right to talk to him like that." A cruel smirk played around his mouth. "Then again, I suppose I cannot expect anything else given your … history."
Otsutsuki blanched and she opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
"Rin, did you compile file about Otsutsuki's company?" Itachi stepped past the frozen woman and approached Deidara, winding his arm around his waist as soon as he was close enough. "If you're tired, you can rest in my office. I'll be with you soon; I just need to deal with her."
"Nope, not tired here," Deidara grinned, gaining a sadistic pleasure from seeing the obnoxious, rude woman slowly realise how big she had fucked up just now. He would have loved to put her in her place, but seeing Itachi doing it …
It was definitely more entertaining.
"Yes, sir. Here's the file as you asked," Rin smiled brightly, handing over a green file.
"Well, if you're not tired," Itachi murmured and opened the file with one hand, refusing to remove the other one from Deidara's waist. "As I expected. Tell me honestly: did you really expect we wouldn't do a background check on your company?" He looked at Otsutsuki and raised an eyebrow.
She started to splutter; her cheeks becoming an unattractive splotchy red. "I – I don't know what you're talking about. My company is - "
"On the edge of complete bankruptcy," Itachi finished her sentence coldly. He closed the file and waved it slightly back and forth. "Not to mention the long list of lawsuits you've managed to build up over the years and the new claims being investigated as we speak. If you think for one second that you stood a chance of merging with my company, you must be delusional. I suppose your son takes after you in that aspect, doesn't he?" His black eyes glinted dangerously.
Deidara looked at Itachi bemused, not understanding the odd reference to the woman's son. Did Itachi know this son? Had he had dealings with the guy before?
Otsutsuki became very still and her eyes narrowed dangerously. There was something else in her eyes too; something that Deidara couldn't immediately place. "What do you know about To - "
"I suggest you leave now, because clearly we have nothing to discuss further," Itachi interrupted her silkily, placing the file back on Rin's desk. "My partner Kisame will escort you out."
As if summoned, Kisame suddenly appeared silently behind the woman, revealing his shark like teeth when he smiled at her with narrowed eyes. "Why don't you follow me, Otsutsuki? We wouldn't want you to get lost in this building, now, would we?" he murmured, placing a heavy hand on her shoulder.
She pursed her lips together and her fingers twitched, but she inclined her head stiffly and turned around to follow Kisame.
"For future reference, biting off more than you can chew is never a good idea," Itachi remarked cryptically.
Otsutsuki whirled around, rage lighting up her eyes. "You bast-!"
"And I think you've overstayed your welcome," Kisame said smoothly, clapping a large hand over her mouth. "Follow me please."
"Can you have lunch for two send to my office, Rin?" Itachi asked, calmly ignoring the sounds of the brief struggle that ensued behind him in the hallway before it became quiet.
"Naturally, sir," Rin replied cheerfully, already grabbing her phone to presumably warn the catering.
"Come inside," Itachi said, addressing the bewildered blond, and placed a hand on his back, leading him inside the office.
"What the hell was that?" Deidara asked, as soon as he found his voice again.
Itachi closed the door behind them and cocked his head. As he walked to the large, black couch in front of the large window, he loosened his tie. "What was what?"
Exasperatedly Deidara pointed at the door. "That whole scene just now! That was a hell of a lot more than just you refusing the meeting, so what was that, un?"
The older man shook his head wearily, sinking down on the couch with a sigh. "I just know some things about her family that she wouldn't like to have out in the open."
Blue eyes narrowed. "Like what?"
"Like her son's criminal record," Itachi hummed and leant forwards, beckoning the blond closer. "Mind telling me how you came here? I distinctly remember you not having your car. I also clearly didn't drive you here."
There was something Itachi was not telling him. The Omega knew his mate well enough by now to know when the Alpha was hiding something. He also knew that convincing the other man to tell the secret would be as easy as pulling teeth from an enraged shark, so he let it slide.
For now.
He pouted a bit, glancing away. "Naruto-kun drove me, un," he admitted.
"In that thing he calls a car?" Itachi asked flatly. He looked decidedly unimpressed.
"It's a decent car, un," Deidara scoffed and walked over to the dark haired man. "And you know that Naruto-kun is careful." He sat down on Itachi's lap, ignoring the slight twitch of pale rose lips, not willing to admit that he was craving the contact.
"Have you seen what he drives with?" Itachi retorted, wrapping his fingers around Deidara's hips. "It's a miracle that thing still works!" He looked ready to give an entire list of things he thought were wrong with Naruto's car.
"Don't be so mean, un," Deidara chuckled and grabbed Itachi's hand, placing it firmly on top of his belly. "Here, feel. The baby's moving again."
The rant was instantly forgotten. Itachi's face softened and his eyes grew tender as he felt their baby flutter underneath Deidara's skin.
Deidara smiled and hid his face in Itachi's neck, listening how the older man talked reverently against their baby. He absolutely adored these moments when Itachi completely relaxed and fussed over his belly. His mate would be a wonderful father, he just knew it.
And if feeling their baby kick made Itachi completely forget about the fact that Naruto had driven Deidara to the office … Well, that was just a nice bonus.
Now how long would it take before Itachi decided to take them home?
He couldn't wait to find out.
AN2: Don't ask me where this came from; I have no clue. But hey, slight fluffy moment at the end? *clears throat*
Please leave your thoughts behind in a review; should you spot any mistakes, please point them out to me.
See you all in the next chapter!
