Author's note: After quite a while, I'm back with the next chapter! I know you're probably going to hate me at the end of the chapter, but I was running out of time and like this, it gives me more time to work on the second part - yes, I'm sneaky like that LOL Plus at least this way you have something to read instead of waiting even longer.
Thanks to the following reviewer: smint45
Warnings: Itachi's pov; takes place when they're eight months together so it's in the past; nothing else for now
Dedicated to: xxKuroichoxx
I hope you'll like the first part!
Chapter 30: Part 1
"Tomorrow you have a lunch appointment with Nagato-sama," Rin rattled off the appointments, barely looking up from her notebook. "Kakuzu-san wants to discuss a new case with you at three today and at five p.m. you have a video conference with the head of the Yamanaka clan concerning a new product they hope to develop."
"Thank you, Rin," Itachi murmured, narrowed eyes studying the report in front of him. Flicking his eyes up at his assistant, he inquired, "Did Kakuzu-san mention which case he's taken on?"
She shook her head, closing her notebook. "No, sir, just that he wanted to discuss it with you," she replied and stroked back a lock of her dark hair – which revealed a distinct looking mark peeking out from underneath the collar of her shirt.
He couldn't contain a smirk when he remarked casually, "I see that my cousin decided to go for the full commitment."
For the first time since he had hired her, Rin blushed fiercely and she clapped a hand against her shoulder, looking flustered.
She cleared her throat, staring at the desk as if it was particularly fascinating. "We've been together for nearly two years now and Obito asked me whether I wanted the Mark," she murmured and her eyes softened and a faint smile played around her lips. "And I said yes. My apologies, sir, I thought I had covered it up better."
He waved her apology away. "Don't worry about it. It's not that particularly noticeable," he retorted amused. "Send Obito my regards."
"Will do so, sir," she said and after a slight bow left his office.
He turned back to the report, flipping to the next page, but his mind started wandering and the sales numbers of the south east branch became nothing but an incomprehensible mess. Uttering a deep sigh, the Alpha leant back in his leather chair and rubbed circles over his temples with his fingers as he stared down at the page.
Seeing Rin's Mark caused him to think of his own relationship and he glanced at the picture frame standing on the left corner of his desk. The photo was a recent addition to his office; it showed him and Deidara huddled in their winter coats and scarves, standing in front of the entrance of the temple they had visited on New Year's Day and which had been taken by Deidara's friend, Naruto. In the picture Itachi was smiling and Deidara was grinning widely, his cheeks a fierce red, as they held hands.
He and Deidara had been together for eight months so far and things were going well between them, especially considering how reluctant the blond Omega had been at the start. The Alpha still didn't know the specifics of Deidara's past with his previous partners, but he knew enough to realise that he should count his lucky stars that the blond had given him a chance to prove himself after all. The Omega's suspicion towards Alpha hadn't made approaching him and asking him on a date easy, but Itachi couldn't regret it when in the end the younger man had said yes.
Eight months later and Itachi was happier than he had been in his previous relationships. Not that his previous ones had been bad; he had ended those on a cordial note even if he never saw them again, but there was an easiness between him and Deidara that he hadn't experienced before.
So yes, despite their less than promising start – Itachi still winced when he remembered all those times his courting gifts had been rejected – they were doing great. They had taken it slow at first, the dark haired man wanting to prove that he was different from the other Alpha who had hurt the blond man. He had left it up to Deidara to decide how far and how fast they would go each time and the suspicious look he had received for it in the beginning had made him want to go out and find all those Alpha who had caused that build-up of distrust in the younger man. Toneri had been an unfortunate example as to how Deidara's distrust had been built up and while Itachi had had the sadistic pleasure to make that bastard pay for what he had done, it wouldn't undo what had almost happened. Itachi could only hope that the other Alpha hadn't been as bad as Toneri, but clearly they hadn't been decent either.
They had got past the distrust and wariness, however; quicker than Itachi had expected, but he wasn't about to complain about that.
They hadn't discussed Marking each other yet. Why would they when they hadn't even been together for a year? Most couples only started talking about potentially Marking each other once they had passed the one year mark. Giving the Mark wasn't obligated, of course, but most people considered it on the same level as marrying each other. It was a commitment one shouldn't think lightly about.
He had never considered Marking his previous partners. The closest he had come to giving the Mark was when he was together with Izumi when he was nineteen years old. They had lasted almost two years before they had broken up because she would be studying at the other end of the country and they didn't think they could deal with the long distance. Occasionally he saw her during Uchiha gatherings and while he would always have a soft spot for her, what he had felt for her paled in comparison to what he felt for Deidara now, making him happy that he hadn't gone through with Marking her.
The thought of giving Deidara his Mark, of being Marked by the blond … It was more appealing that he had expected it to be.
Their breathing was loud in the room, mixing with the sound of rain splattering apart against the windows and on the roof tiles, which created an oddly soothing background noise.
"How was your afternoon with Naruto-san?" Itachi asked, eyes remaining closed. His limbs were still shivering slightly with the aftershocks of pleasure and the Omega's enticing scent trickled into his nostrils.
Deidara sighed contently, shifting around until his head was resting on Itachi's shoulder and his left hand curled around the Alpha's waist; his thumb rubbing circles against his ribs. "It was great, un; it's been a while since we last saw each other, so we mostly spent our time talking about our projects."
"That's right; he wants to be a teacher, hm?" Itachi muttered, recalling the titbit of information the younger blond had let slip out some months ago.
"You remembered that," Deidara remarked and sounded pleased, causing a faint smirk to tug on the corners of the Alpha's mouth.
"Well, you've mentioned it a few times before," the dark haired man muttered, stretching out one arm to sling it around Deidara's shoulders so he could play with the golden strands which slipped through his fingers like water.
"Doesn't mean you would remember it, un," the blond sighed, but he sounded unbothered. "How's work been for you?"
"Same old, same old," Itachi murmured dryly. He paused when the noise of something rattling in its hinges reached him and he furrowed his eyebrows. "What is -"
"Oh that," Deidara groaned dismayed and haphazardly waved his hand in the air, dismissing the noise with a huff. "Don't worry about that, un. When the weather's as bad as now, the wind plays around with the backdoor. It's been like that for a while now, un. I've been meaning to get it fixed, but I would have to stay home once the repair crew gets here and work's been busy lately."
Dark eyes blinked slowly. "So anyone can just enter the house through the back when the weather's like this?" he questioned; a surge of protectiveness stirring at the thought of his Omega being that vulnerable.
Sky blue eyes rolled. "They'd have to enter the backyard first," he pointed out sullenly. "It's not like there's anything interesting in this house to steal, un. Besides, one of my neighbours would notice it if someone tried to break in."
"That's not as reassuring as you try to make it sound," Itachi remarked dryly and paused thoughtfully, tapping his fingers absentmindedly against Deidara's shoulder.
Deidara raised his head and squinted at him suspiciously. "What are you thinking, un?" he inquired warily. "I know that look and it doesn't bode well for - "
"Move in with me," Itachi interrupted the younger man serenely, but his arm tightened around Deidara's shoulder, tugging him closer.
The Omega paused, snapping his mouth shut with a 'click' as he stared bewildered at the dark haired man. "What?" he brought out stumped.
"Move in with me," Itachi repeated; a tad amused at the dumbfounded look on the blond's face.
"Why?" Deidara questioned perplexed.
Perplexed, but not rejecting the offer yet.
"Why not?" the Alpha retorted lightly. "We've been together for a while now and we're practically at each other's place every night lately. Might as well save some money and live together officially. Not to mention," he turned on his side, drawing Deidara's left leg around his hip, "my place is closer to your work than yours is. You'll save on gas and time as well. There's also that little fact of my garden being bigger than yours and therefore offering a better space to try out your experiments," he added with a smirk.
Blue eyes narrowed contemplatively; his fingers drumming on Itachi's back. Silence reigned for a while, broken only by the rain and their breathing. Then the Omega shifted and chuckled.
"Well, when you put it like that, how can I refuse that offer, un?" he smirked, raising his head to peck Itachi's mouth.
"So that's a yes?" Itachi questioned; a smile already unfurling across his lips.
"It's a yes, un," the blond confirmed and laughed when he was pushed down on his back, the Alpha easily slotting between his spread legs as he welcomed pale rose lips against his own.
They didn't leave the bed for the rest of the night.
"Uchiha-san, is that you?"
The familiar female voice made him turn around surprised as he slammed the doors shut of the moving van Kisame had borrowed from a family member. A chestnut haired woman approached him with her red painted lips curled up in a teasing smile. Her green eyes glittered as she came to a stop in front of him; placing one slender hand on her hip.
"You live here?" Mei Terumi inquired friendly, casting a quick look at the mailbox.
"Yes, I didn't expect to meet you here," Itachi replied, raising an eyebrow.
The Beta woman was a former client of his; the contract had ended eight months ago without any problems. He tried to recall whether she lived nearby, but as far as he was aware she lived in a city around thirty-one miles from this village.
"I was visiting my cousin and brother-in-law," she explained, shrugging delicately. "They live a bit further down the street."
"Can I drive the van back?" Kisame came around the van, raising his eyebrows when his gaze landed on Terumi. "Terumi-san, fancy meeting you here."
"Visiting relatives," she smiled.
"You can drive the van back, yes," Itachi answered, stepping back onto the sidewalk. "Give your nephew my thanks."
The larger man snorted. "Will do. Have a nice day, Terumi-san," he said before whirling around and disappearing behind the van. There was the sound of a car door slamming shut, the motor starting and then the dark blue van rumbled to life and drove off.
"Well, I have to go now; I only have a few more minutes left before I might get a parking ticket," Terumi grimaced, flicking her long hair over her shoulders. Her green eyes grew serious and her friendly smile melted away, leaving her business persona behind. "Aside from visiting relatives, I'm also in town in the hopes of discussing a new project with you. Are you available soon to talk about it?"
He cocked an eyebrow. "I think I have an hour free next week. If you contact my secretary, she'll let you know when the meeting can take place."
"That's fine with me," she agreed easily, inclining her head. "I'll see you during our next meeting then. Have a nice weekend."
"You too."
She offered him one last nod and swept past him; her high heels tapping loudly on the pavement as she marched down the street.
"Who was she, un?"
Itachi turned his head and met curious, bright blue eyes. "A former business partner of mine who apparently has a new project she wants to discuss with me," he explained, crossing the distance between them to slip his arms around a lithe waist. "Told her she can contact Rin for an appointment."
"Oh." Deidara wrinkled his nose, bringing his own arms around Itachi's waist. "Kisame-san drove the van back?"
"Yes, he left a few minutes ago," Itachi told him, nuzzling his right temple. "How's it going inside?"
"We haven't broken anything yet, un," the Omega informed him brightly, grinning cheekily. "At least everything was still whole when I left Naruto-kun there."
"You left him -"
"You know, instead of this depressing shit that I assume is supposed to be some abstract art kind of thing, why don't I give you a painting I created?" Naruto suddenly popped his head outside, grimacing while waving a small painting depicting darkly coloured blocks which vaguely resembled some trees. "Seriously, what's this supposed to be?"
Itachi sighed, shaking his head. Why had he anticipated Naruto having some form of criticism about his belongings?
"Is this your way of getting out of a housewarming gift, un?" Deidara raised an eyebrow, cocking his head to the right as he regarded the younger blond unamused.
The younger Omega scoffed, waving his other free hand haphazardly through the air. "Nobody ever said that you have to shell out money for a housewarming gift," he snipped. "Besides you're moving in with him, not like you two moved to an entirely new house so a housewarming gift isn't necessary in this case. I'm doing you a favour with gifting you one of my paintings – can you imagine looking at this thing for years to come? Come on now, Deidara-kun, I know you have better taste than this."
And off they went, bantering and bickering as they disappeared back into the house to fit the rest of Deidara's belongings between Itachi's stuff.
For a moment the Alpha remained outside, Naruto's remark of 'years to come' dancing around in his mind like the wind playing with a leaf. He found he rather enjoyed the thought of spending years with the beautiful blond Omega, filling the house with their happiness and warmth. Turning the house into a home.
Yes, years sounded pretty amazing if you asked him.
It happened so slowly, so unobtrusively, that it took Itachi an embarrassing long time to notice that something was wrong.
AN2: At least this cliffhanger isn't as bad as the one I used when Naruto got his twins, right? *coughs* I promise I'll have the next part up soon!
Please leave your thoughts behind in a review; should you spot any mistakes, please point them out to me.
I see you all in the next chapter!
