Falling: An ItaNaru Fanfiction

Step 14

Naruto is sitting on the bed while staring from the window of the room they are staying in. The curtain of dark clouds envelopes the town, which is just kilometers away from the Village of the Rock. There weren't any people out as it is raining cats and dogs.

Itachi and him have been staying in this town for two days now and the rain doesn't seem to show any sign that it is going to stop anytime soon causing their mission to be on hold.

In short, boredom is slowly killing him and the state of the weather isn't helping lifting his mood.

Suddenly, he suddenly smelled an aroma of chocolate near him. Turning to his side, Itachi in a simple black shirt and ninja pants, holding two cups of hot chocolate. One he is offering to him, while Itachi sips on the other.

"Thanks," Naruto smiled at him as he accepts the cup and take a sip.

"God seemed to be helping us," Itachi took the space next to Naruto and also looked at the town.

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked, wondering why Itachi would say that.

"We can't do the mission with a weather like this," Itachi said. "God must have given us a time together, without worrying about anything."

Naruto looked at the raven. He can't help but wonder what he have done to this guy for him to think so much of him.

"Yeah, it must be," Naruto can't help but agree and took another sip of the chocolate.

The raven turned to the sunshine beside him. The room was so silent that they could only hear the faint sound of the rain from the outside. The hallway beyond the door seemed empty, too. The only thing Itachi, could do is stare and admire the sunshine. As much as Naruto is beautiful when he smiles and suits him more, a silent Naruto isn't so bad, also. He looks so peaceful and sullen and just adorable. Never in his wildest dreams have he ever thought he'll be sitting here with him.

There were no disturbances. The world seemed in black and white as the rain continues to pour like there's no tomorrow. Both were just only aware of each other's presence.

"Like it is only the two of us in the world. " Itachi could only think of.

"It's like it is only the two of us in the world," Naruto said. "It's so quiet."

Itachi can't help but be shocked. Then, he laughed, earning a stare from Naruto for the sudden action.

"I was just thinking of the same thing," Itachi smiled, making Naruto sip on his chocolate to cover his embarrassment. "How about we use this time to get to know more of each other? "

"I bet you know so much about me," Naruto snorted.

"They were just basic information, " Itachi said. "Don't you want to know more about me?"

Naruto thought about it for a minute. Itachi knows so much about him while he doesn't have much anything about Itachi. The offer seems so tempting to decline.

"We take turns asking a question," Itachi explained. "I ask you a question. Once you answer, it's your turn to ask. Simple. "

"Okay! I'm game! Me first. What's your favorite color?"

"Black," Itachi answered. "Favorite food? "

"Ramen!" Naruto exclaimed, then frowned. "Wait. Everyone knows that. "

Itachi just smiled.

"What's you favorite food, then?" Naruto asked.

"Dango." Itachi answered.
