Broken

Chapter 19: Summertime

He wasn't sure why he wanted to ask Naruto to move in with him. It was an urge that was getting stronger as the days passed until it was the day of the blond's graduation. He had to do it besides pick up the fox and cat. After experiencing his love's moment that made him one step closer to being an adult, he had to look forward to his own graduation. After that, he was taking over the company that his father left.

Sitting on the couch that was going to get picked up, Itachi stared at the boxes that littered the apartment that was once his. He upgraded finally – a place that accepted pets. He wanted that. Sighing, he waited for that knock from his old friends and teachers that were helping out. He got along with all his teachers when he was in high school and now it came in handy. Kisame had a truck that would haul the couch and other furniture too big for his car.

Then he'll have to help Naruto move. At least it was close for the blond to see his family, which was another plus for him.

Hearing the knock on the wooden door, the Uchiha rose from where he sat and strolled to the door. Opening it with his other hand pushing up his glasses, he stared at the four friends he had in his high school career. They didn't seem to have changed to the ebony haired man.

"Where's the stuff hm?" Deidara complained as he walked into the room with his flip flops left at the door so he could walk into the living room.

"Everywhere Deidara." Itachi mumbled as he glared at the long-haired blond. "Go ahead walk right on in."

"So what made you move? Was it that kid you're seeing?" The pale Zetsu questioned as he walked into the room as his twin brother looked around.

"Yeah. He's heading to college so I wanted to have a new place and for him to move in." Itachi answered as he closed the door, hoping the door didn't get another knock. It usually went that way for him it seemed like it.

"What's his name again?" The tanned twin brother asked – his name Zetsumori – before sitting down on the arm of the couch.

"Uzumaki, Naruto." Itachi answered again, seeing the long-haired blond stop in his tracks and turn on his heel to stare at him. "What?"

"Then that was you that left that voicemail for me! Damn it Itachi. Why the hell are you seeing him? I thought he was seeing your brother hm." Deidara ranted as he pointed a finger at the ebony eyed man.

Shrugging, Itachi answered, "He was until Sasuke cheated on him. Why do you think he thanked you for changing lab partners?" Looking at the blond, the Uchiha noticed the sapphire eyes change from having the spark of anger to a smolder.

"Oh. I didn't know. I heard that they got into a fight at lunch but that was it. Kisame, Kakuzu wouldn't say anything else besides that. I even went to Gai and asked and it was the same answer." Deidara said, looking at the wooden floor and scuffed at it with his barefoot, leaving no mark on it.

Sighing, Itachi grabbed one of the boxes that was laying in the room. "Hidan grab the keys for my car."

"Fine fucking Christ." Hidan muttered as everyone stared at him.

"Still the same old Hidan." They said in unison before letting the Uchiha and silver haired man leave.

As he went down the stairs, Itachi wondered how Naruto was coming along with packing which probably had to be a mess since his mother broke down at the graduation ceremony. Smirking a little, he thought, she should know that Naruto was in good hands. He wouldn't harm the blond in anyway. He was gentle . . . to some things.

Letting his friend unlock the back doors, the ebony haired man put the box in the car before going back to grab some more. He'll put the small ones in the trunk then see how far along Naruto was coming. If he had some room left, than Itachi would let the graduate put some of his boxes in and they'll head in together.
