Behind Closed Doors [Modern Itachi Uchiha]

Chapter 2

Skylar’s body felt hot and uncomfortable. Grabbing the crotch of his pants, he pulled the fabric and shifted around his junk in hopes it would make it so his balls would stop sticking to his thigh. Honestly, he just needed to get outside and into the cool air to take a breather. This party was starting to get on his nerves anyway.

Making his way through the now inebriated party goers, Skylar made his way outside where everything was a lot less crowded and noisy. He relished in the cool air that hit his skin, dowsing the fire in his veins. Ever since he laid eyes on that Itachi person he constantly felt a fire in his gut. He’s never had that intense of a desire to jump someone’s bones ever. And to top it all off, the object of his wettest dream just may be straight. A frustrated groan passed Skylar’s lips as he threw his head back, looking up at the starry night sky. Life was so unfair sometimes… Well, at least he was able to find somewhere secluded in the yard so he wouldn’t be bothered.

Hearing a twig snap, Skylar’s attention immediately turned towards the source of the intrusion only to lay eyes the source of his aching need. Seriously, the world must be out to get him.

“Sorry, I didn’t know anyone was out here.” Skylar mentally groaned at the sound of his voice. It was delectable. He couldn’t help but to wonder what it would sound like breathy and in need.

“It’s fine. It’s not like I was hiding or anything.” Skylar’s blue gaze glanced at his lips as they stretched into that alluring smirk.

“Mind if I join you?” Skylar’s gaze automatically rose back up to his dark eyes, having a hard time reading them.

“Sure, do what you want.” Skylar shrugged, looking up towards the sky again as he tried his best to ignore the presence radiating at his side.

“Thanks. I just needed to get away from that whole scene for a bit.” Skylar grunted in acknowledgement, understanding exactly how he felt. “I’m Itachi, by the way.”

“Skylar.” A sudden click got his attention, making him turn his gaze back to the male beside him. A soft chuckle came from Itachi as he noticed Skylar’s attention fall to him as he lit the cigarette dangling between his lips. Skylar watched, his gaze trained on his lips, as Itachi took a drag before exhaling the smoke while his lips quirked into a smirk.

“Do you want one?” Skylar merely nodded, a little lost for words. His blue eyes watched Itachi’s movements as he pulled an extra stick from his pack, handing it out towards him.

“Thanks.” Skylar quickly muttered as he grabbed the cancer stick from him, their fingers lightly brushing causing a fiery sensation to spread across his skin. Placing the stick between his lips he waited for Itachi to hand him a light. Though, he was never expecting in a million years for Itachi to lean in with his own cigarette dangling from his lips in order to light his. A slight blush crossed Skylar’s lips as he held Itachi’s gaze as he put the butt of his cigarette against his, lighting it as Skylar slowly sucked in a breath. An amused smirk crossed Itachi’s lips as he pulled away once Skylar’s smoke was successfully lit, taking in a long drag and exhaling it. A scowl crossed Skylar’s features at Itachi’s nonchalance about that little stunt, as if he wasn’t intentionally fucking with him. “What’s your deal anyway?” Skylar spat, flicking the ash from the end of his smoke. Itachi glanced over at him, raising a delicate brow, amusement still written on his face.

“What do you mean by that?” Skylar’s blue eyes narrowed at the man beside him. He was going to make him say it outright, wasn’t he?

“Are you gay, straight, what?” A soft chuckle met his ears as Itachi looked away from him and straight ahead, bringing his cigarette back to his lips.

“That’s quite personal, don’t you think?” Itachi exhaled, watching the smoke rise into the night and dissipate.

“It’s an easy question to answer.” Itachi’s smirk widened as he rubbed out his cigarette against the ground.

“That all depends on who you ask.” Skylar watched, curiously, as Itachi stood from his place, getting ready to leave. “It was nice talking with you.” Skylar just let a little scoff pass his lips as Itachi made his way back up to the house without as much as saying another word. Skylar just resorted to looking back at the sky, smoking the cig that Itachi graciously gave him. Though, he couldn’t help but wonder what Itachi meant by that…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Skylar, you look like shit.” His blue eyes narrowed dangerously on the girl who he currently had to share a shift with. It definitely didn’t help that he was sporting a hangover and didn’t get a wink of sleep last night thanks to some raven haired god who kept plaguing his mind and making him painfully hard.

“I still look better than you, sweetheart.” Skylar retorted, packing coffee grounds into the machine for the next order going out. “Stop staring at me and hurry up. Take table five their coffee before it gets cold.” The girl just let out a little humph, sticking her nose in the air as she grabbed the tray and stalked off to the table. Satisfied with pissing off his coworker, Skylar quickly finished the cup of coffee he was making before returning to the register to take other customer’s orders. “What can I get-” His sentence halted for a moment as he laid eyes on Itachi waiting in line with a busty female hanging off his arm. Well I guess that answers his previous question. “You?”

“I’ll take a black coffee, sixteen ounce.” Skylar hummed, grabbing a cup from the counter and marking his selection on the cup.

“And you?” Skylar drawled, not really wanting to serve the girl, as his blue gaze turned from Itachi to his guest.

“Can I get a tall strawberry Frappuccino?” Skylar gave her a blank look.

“Honey, this isn’t a Starbucks so please order something we actually have on our menu.” The girl’s eyes narrowed slightly at him before glancing back at the menu on their wall. A slight smirk crossed Itachi’s lips, him giving Skylar that same amused look as he gave him last night.

“Alright, I’ll have a twelve ounce, blended, strawberry mocha.” Skylar nodded, grabbing another cup.

“Do you want whip cream?” Skylar raised a delicate brow as he noticed her nose scrunch up in disgust.

“No, I’m not a fan of the taste.” He had to resist the urge to roll his eyes.

“That’s a shame. I personally think there’s nothing better than taking a load of cream in your mouth.” A sly smile spread on Skylar’s lips as he noticed Itachi’s smirk widen ever so slightly as the girl’s eyes widened and pink dusted her cheeks. “Seven fifty, please.”

“I’ve got this, how about you go find us seats?” Itachi said, pulling out his wallet. The girl agreed, thanking Itachi for paying, as she quickly scurried off to find a table.

“Quite a girl you got there.” Skylar commented as Itachi handed him a platinum card. Go figures he would be handsome and have money too.

“You misunderstand. She’s no more than a partner for a business project.” Skylar gave Itachi a questioning look as he handed him his receipt to sign.

“Are you single then?” Itachi let a chuckle pass his lips as he slid the paper across the counter and back to Skylar.

“You’re just full of questions aren’t you?” Skylar’s blue eyes narrowed, slightly, as he pursed his lips.

“I’m just curious, is all.” Another chuckle left Itachi’s lips as Skylar handed him his copy of the receipt.

“There’s a party this weekend I have to make an appearance at. Show up and maybe you’ll find out.” Not giving Skylar the chance to reply or ask where this so called party is, Itachi made his way to the table his partner chose for them. Seriously, could he be any more confusing? Shaking his head, Skylar got ready to place the sales receipt in the cash register before noticing the sizeable tip Itachi left him along with his phone number on the back. A slight smile crossed his lips as he quickly scribbled the number down on his hand since he couldn’t keep the paper. Honestly, he’s never encountered anyone harder to read than Itachi. Normally he wouldn't even bother with someone stringing him along like this. Though, Itachi seemed worth the time.
