Wanting and Wanted

Authors Note at Bottom
Chapter 3


Naruto sat down at the foot of his bed, his hands toying sheepishly with the tape of film in his hand that contained one of sasuke's many eccentric behaviors.

This was the opportunity he had been waiting for. A chance to get Sasuke to admit he liked the blonde. Naruto, although a bit hyper and oblivious, was not stupid. He knew that the raven fancied him, but let his over-inflated ego stop him from admitting that to him.

'Nothing has worked yet! NOTHING!' Naruto buried his face in the side of the mattress, ignored the putrid odor of sweat and cum embedded within the thing, and couldn't help but feel a bit guilty for his voyeuristic acts.

But..no. It was worth it. Nothing had worked yet. Not even dating the older Uchiha, which he had been so damn sure would work. Sasuke was a jealous person, but still, naruto's efforts remained in vain.

His thoughts began wondering down memory lane, and in his mind an old memory flashed up.
---

"Ita-Wait, Itachi!, hold on!" Naruto jogged after the older Uchiha, nearly slipping into the road as the sidewalks were wet from the heavy pattering of the rain.

The older, usually stoic-faced Uchiha turned to face him, looking rather irritated at being held up in the rain quickly, (and rather venomously, naruto noted) spat out a reply.


"What."

"I require your...er...services, if you could please be willing to..ehm...help"

Itachi's eyebrows rose, and a look of surprise flitted across his face before his features once again became arranged in the arrogant stoic-face he usually had.

"What is it that you need my help with...Naruto-kun? Also,-why- should I help you at all?"

Naruto's face flushed red and he let out a nervous laugh. Mustering up his courage he said it.

"I need you to be my boyfriend."

Itachi tilted his head to the side, almost as if considering naruto (wait..almost? Naruto mentally disagreed, he definitely was checking him out. The pompous Uchiha could never be seen with anyone less than perfect looking)

After Itachi was done assessing naruto, he spoke.

"Well blondie..What will I get out of this? And just why should I comply with your request?"

Naruto mentally kicked himself. He knew the older uchiha would want something out of this..

"Can we discuss this somewhere..er..a bit more secluded?" naruto asked as he fiddled with the buttons on his leather coat.

The smirk on Itachi's face grew and naruto quickly shook his head.

"N-No! That's not what I meant, bastard!"

Itachi just laughed and said "Alright then, Naruto-kun, we can go to my apartment."

They headed down the street, continuing on the course Itachi had been previously going on alone. Itachi stood closely next to Naruto, shielding the blonde from the rain with his umbrella, grimacing slightly as he felt the muddy waters from the puddles on the ground sink through his shoes and the fabric of his pants.

Eventually they reached the massive, looming apartment building that Itachi resided in, and walked in.

Naruto relished in the warmth of the building, before taking in his surroundings. The floors were made of an incredibly shiny reflective type of marble, and two glass elevators stood on either side of the apartment building. A fountain sat in the middle of the room, playing a relaxing tune with the sound of the water.
A jab in the side brought Naruto out of his thoughts.

"Ow! Bastard, that hurt!"

"Hn. You should have closed your gaping mouth."

"Pfft. My mouth will gape open whenever it feels the need to," naruto said in a rather irritated tone

"Alright, then I guess you won't mind if I find something to fill up that pretty little mouth of yours.." Itachi replied, smugly.

Naruto flushed a violent shade of red, he hadn't even propositioned the guy yet and he was still being hit on!

"Che. Whatever. Let's just go to your apartment."

Itachi grasped naruto's hand and led him into one of the glass elevators, pushing the button for the 23rd floor and let go of the blondes hand, and waited patiently.

"Well, what is it that you need my help with, naruto-kun?"

As Itachi spoke, he looked at naruto intensely, and naruto just about melted from the fierceness of the elder Uchiha's gaze.

"I think...NO, I'm positive that Sasuke likes me.."

"And why do I need to be aware of this, let alone -date- you, Naruto? Wouldn't that hurt Sasuke?"

"Well bastard, if you hadn't cut me off...!Anyway, he refuses to admit that he likes me. I've tried to hard to get him to admit to it, but he never will..I was just hoping that maybe...if you pretend to be my boyfriend, he would get jealous enough to admit it.."

The glass doors opened suddenly with a beeping sound, causing naruto to jump slightly. Itachi just smirked.

"Follow me, Naruto-kun"

Naruto complied, following Itachi, but not really paying any attention to his surroundings, deep in thought. Well..deep in thought until he walked straight into a wall, then proceeded to topple backwards, into strong arms.

He could feel his face burning up, flaming red, especially as he heard the elder uchiha's laughter coming from right behind him.

Naruto willed himself to say thanks, and tried to get out of Itachi's arms, stopping as he felt a hot breath on the side of his neck.

"I'll help you..But in return..I want in on the relationship you plan on having with Sasuke"


AN: Well, what do you all think? I'll have to work on chapter length I know xD, As for plotline-wise I really have no idea where to go with this, chances are it'll just be a big multi-chapter PWP once I get things running but who knows, lol. Review. Please. I got ratings, but almost no reviews :(
