Complicated Love

Naruto's pov

We sat in the 3rd class seats, the whole plane seemed pretty empty. Not many people on board. "Are you thinking about him again?" Itachi sighed, "I can't help it- okay okay, ask me something." I say, trying to get him off my head.

"Imagine you're gifted a 100 million, but you have to live with one person for the rest of your life for the millions. Who would that one person be?"

"Hm... that's easy! It would be my mom!" I thought for a few minutes.

"Except your family, idiot."

"Oh, then it would be you or Kiba!" I smiled, "Interesting, why me or Kiba?"
Itachi asked, "because I've known you two the longest? Butttt since I've stayed with you more, I'll probably choose you."

He smiled, "you wanted to hear that, didn't you?" I laughed, he turned a light shade of pink. "Maybe?" He laughed it off.

"When are they serving food?" I ask, "soon, you can wait, right?" He asks, smiling. "Absolutely not, I am starving." I rub my tummy. He laughed, "Let me check..it says they serve at 3:30PM."

"40 minutes?!" He looked at me, "There aren't many people here, are there?"

"maybe because you booked the fucking flight for 10AM." I frowned at him. "Hey! I had a valid reason." He crossed his arms childishly. "Well, I'd like to hear it."

"I thought we'd spend about an hour at the hospital so we won't be early. But he-"

"Why would he even do that? Like.." I rolled my eyes. "He hasn't even called, has he?"

"Apparently not." He sighed, answering my questions. "Can we move to the first class? I mean it looks pretty empty.."

"I don't think-"

"You know what, I'm just gonna move these up." I rolled the arm rest up. Using the spare seat for my bag. I put my head on Itachi's arm.

He wrapped his arm around me so I was laying on his shoulder and chest area. I hugged him with my spare arm.

"You're just gonna have to bare with it for a while." I speak quietly, "sleep well."

He kissed my forehead, I blushed but good thing he didn't pay attention to it.

Itachi's pov:

I kissed his forehead, patting his back so it'd help him sleep quicker. I saw his little blush, I thought of maybe trying to replace Sasuke with myself just for this trip to be a lot easier. Especially, after what he's done.

I close my eyes as well, hoping to get rest. Which was not possible due to the emails I've been getting for the part 6 minutes. I finally put it on 'Do Not Disturb' mode and fell asleep.

I woke up to Naruto shaking me softly. "Sorry to disturb you, but the food is here." He apologized, "Don't worry about it." I smile, trying to sit up straight. My head was spinning all sorts of ways.

"Are you alright?" He asked, checking for temperature on my head. "Yeah, just my head hurts." I smile, assuring him I was okay.

"Do you want me to feed you?" He asked, showing concern. "You can eat first, you were hungry ever since." I patted his head. "No, I'll feed you too."

"It's really fin-"

"Lay back down," I sighed, leaning on his shoulder. He fed me and himself as he scrolled through his feed.

He took care of me, for a while until we fell asleep again.

Sasuke's pov:

It's been awhile since I got home, I haven't seen Naruto or Itachi in a while.

I don't feel like asking anyone about it either, I'd rather mind my business.

I texted Naruto.

S: Where you baby?

Probably doing work..

N: Hey, did you eat?

S: Yeah, I ate. What about you?

N: Just finished eating, wyd?

S: Nothing, where are you?

N: I'm in an airplane, I had a urgent meeting so I had to leave early.

S: oh..

N: Yeah, I'm sorry

S: oh no, it's okay.

N: I'll try to come back as quick as possible!

S: thank you, is itachi with you?

N: yeah, he's sleeping I think

S: oh, well. Good journey, call me when you get to your place

N: of course

S: I love you

N: love you too, take care!!

S: I will

.........

Wow, I guess they really did leave early. I hope they didn't get the wrong idea about me and Izumi. I just care for her as my own sister after the past events.

I sighed, sinking in Naruto's bed.

Naruto's pov:

What if I thought wrong?
What if they just care for each other just like me and Itachi do?
I suddenly remember that I had told gaara that I'll call him later.

I'll just text Gaara..

N: Hey Gaara!

G: Naruto? How's your trip going?

N: good! I was just wondering, if any any chance we could shorten this meeting..

G: Why?

N: I just don't do well on trips.

G: hm. How does 2-3 weeks sound?

N: great, perfect!

G: alright then.

N: thank you.

G: of course.

N: also..can we keep this a secret? Like just make up an excuse for it.?

G: don't worry about that. I will take care of it.

N: thank you! I could really count on you.

G: of course!

N: gtg sorry!

G: alright!

Itachi came back from the bathroom.

"Took you long enough." I laughed, "I forgot which way I had to go.."

"Idiot."

He sat back down, reading the emails. "Oh? Looks like our trip has been shortened to 2 weeks!" He says in relief.

"Hm? That's nice, I honestly didn't even know how I could survive 7 weeks..." I mumbled. He smiled.

"Well, at least we get to go home quickly?"

"Yeah. I already miss my bed!" I whine, he chuckled.

"Well, we'll be over to the sand corporation in two hours." He says. "I hope it's quicker, I can't wait to leave."

"Why so eager?" He asked, smirking. "Dunno, maybe because I don't like the environment there?"

"Naruto..not every single place has 'environment' please chill out." He chuckled, "and that's why I wanna go home where u can sleep on my bed and eat ramen!"

"We'll be home in no time, relax."
