Summary
Your awareness shifts, as though you've just brushed past something.

On you.

Summary
Something inside him shifts. The hope that sustained him for years—the quiet certainty that someday, somehow, he’d find his way back to you again—dims.
Because now, you’re a Duchess—to the most respected and honoured house of the entire Kingdom.
And he’s a junior law clerk, heir to a Viscountcy the ton would rather forget.

Summary
Itachi has no room left for desire. Hasn't since he could understand his own strength. He only has… obligation. And memories of too much blood. He will do what is necessary—for the village, for the clan, for those children in the street.
If Megiri is the key to saving them all, then she will become his future.
And if not—
Then everything he did in life becomes meaningless.

Summary
"Of course," you manage, trying to act like Itachi Uchiha calling you darling is an everyday occurrence.
Though he doesn't just stop there because that would be too easy and you're starting to think that Itachi's getting some sick pleasure out of increasing your blood pressure. He doesn't let you go. He leans in, and for one heart-stopping moment, you think he's going to kiss you.
Right here.
In front of Kabuto and everyone you know and everyone in the city and God.

Summary
The moonlight catches on the windows of your neighbour's house, and in the reflection, you catch a glimpse of him, just over your shoulder.
A step too close. Like a shadow that won't let go.
"If you need anything at all," he says suddenly, low and even. "You tell me."
The way he says it makes your skin chill.
"I'm not a child," you reply, a little defensively. "I can take care of myself."
He looks at you, and something flickers behind his eyes. Not fear. Not concern. Something colder.
"If you're certain."

Summary
Itachi had been a shinobi long enough to accept that his life was never guaranteed. He numbed himself to the possibility of death, but he didn't realise just how desensitised he had become to his eventual self-sacrifice until he saw the brutal pain in your eyes.
"As much as this hurts me, I am not interested in fighting for a future that you're so willing to give up."
His breath catches in his throat. There's nothing he can say, nothing that would change the weight of your words.

Summary

"Yes. Just a short trip away."
"A honeymoon," she says reverently, like invoking a blessing.
You glance away. "Well—technically, I suppose."
"It's an important time. Special." Her voice drops just slightly. "Intimate."

From parental tips on consummation to being stranded by a storm—your honeymoon with Itachi is nothing like the stories, but it might just be the beginning of one.

Summary
There's a long silence. He can't tell if your expression is confusion, amusement, or mild concern.
"You made huevos rancheros."
"Yes."
"At six in the morning."
"Yes."
You blink again. "...Why?"
"Shisui's girlfriend wanted them. I thought you might appreciate a plate as well," Itachi lies before holding out the plate like a peace offering. Or a bribe. Or a small, unstable bomb.

Summary
"If this is what living with you is like, I might never leave."
The words slip out before you can think, tumbling casually between bites. For a moment, it seems like Itachi doesn't react, but then you notice it. The slight pause in his hand. The faintest flicker of something in his expression.
"Careful," he murmurs, his tone quiet but charged. "I might hold you to that."

Summary
"Not yet, darling," he hums, dragging his teeth against the sensitive and heated flesh.
A shameful sob breaks your lips open. But the smoothness of his voice stills you.
"Just wait until I finish this," he promises, the thick pads of his thumbs caressing the plump flesh of your ass. "Then I'll take care of you."

Summary
"One minute you're acting impossible, and the next you're… I don't know." You trail off, unsure how to finish that sentence without sounding ridiculous.
Itachi's steps slow just a fraction, enough that you notice. "What am I the next minute?"
You glance at him, startled by the question. There's no teasing in his tone, no hint of sarcasm. It's a genuine question, and it leaves you scrambling for an answer.
"I… I'm not sure yet," you admit, your voice quieter than before.
He stops walking, and you do too, suddenly hyperaware of the space between you. When he speaks again, his voice is softer than you’ve ever heard it. "Tell me when you figure it out."

Summary
"Well," he says, his voice smooth and dry, "if you keep making these late-night visits, I might have to start wondering about your intentions."
You raise an eyebrow, trying to mask your nervousness with a playful edge. "Oh? And what would those intentions be?"
"It's hard to say," Itachi replies, his tone slightly teasing. "But judging by your current attire, I'd imagine they involve more than just a late-night conversation."
You meet his gaze, feeling a flutter of warmth. "Are you suggesting something?"
"No," he says almost disinterestedly, immediately squashing the feeling building in you. You feel yourself flush once more, this time out of embarrassment for reading into the moment when he continues.
It's soft and light and if you weren't so attuned to him, you think you would have missed it.
"Merely imagining."
-
All you wanted was a refuge. But Itachi offers you more than that.

Summary
Inappropriate.
Itachi knows this is completely inappropriate and unprofessional. He loathes to think of the paperwork that awaits him when he reports back to Konoha.
Not to mention the teasing he's certain to receive from Shisui if the older man were to ever find out about this.
But he cannot help the low, guttural sound that evidences just how much he's enjoying the way you're straddling him.
