Perks of the secret friend [Iruka and Itachi]

[uchihasavior]

Who: [The I team-- Itachi and Iruka]
When: February 9th
Where: Starting at the Uchiha Compound, moving to Iruka's place


The attention Itachi gets when he finally falls ill can be overwhelming. It seems to be traveling around Konoha, so no doubt with his weak immune system and his extended stay in his home village, Itachi came down with the flu. Mother found him nearly keeling over in the process of making himself tea and demanded he lay back down in bed.

He hadn't gotten any real rest since. The household was busy. Between Mother, Sasuke, and Shisui popping in, he was always being asked if he was alright, if he needed anything, or presented with something else to try to swallow.

Dusk was only marginally better, with everyone else prepping for bed. And now the footsteps down the hall started again...

He shifted forward cradling his face in his hands, then kissed the tip of his nose, smiling fondly at the younger man. He'd spent a lot of his life looking after this man one way or another. He'd do what he could here too, even if this time it was not really needed.

The whine was cute though. "Tomorrow then."

There's a a smile in response to the affection. He still likes it, quite a whole lot.

"Mm." he affirms, but soon pulls away for a soft yawn. It's time to turn in.

He smiled so himself... and just hoped that this wouldn't go too badly. He'd make sure to talk to Fugaku himself very soon.
