Itachi's POV

"Sasori. Why do you still have that?" I say trying to take away his phone as he shows an embarrassing photo of me when I was younger to a group of girls.

"This is how you get chicks." He winks at me.

"Itachi-Senpai! You were really cute!" A girl says.

"Not that you're not cute anymore you're just really hot!" Another girl says after her.

I sigh as I miss my rude little Hinata. I wonder what her reaction would be to this photo?

"Puppies are cuter than you. You perv." Yeah... something like that.

I walk away as these girls are really annoying. I can tell I'm not the only that deals with them, as in ever since the four of us transferred here we became popular quickly. I might be older than them but my youthful looks make me pass for young.

I see Kakashi-Sensei and he has the reddest face ever.

"What happened to you?" I ask.

"N-Nothing." He says a bit off.

"You look like you just woke up." I say.

"Oh, really?" He said as he walks past me flustered.

Odd.

I decide to ditch school and go see Hinata. It doesn't really matter anyways, I already graduated college. I hop over the school fence and jump to the other side. I run towards Hinata's apartment and knock on the door.

"What do you want, perv." She says to me as I see what's she wearing I feel something harden in my pants.

"Honestly, I'd prefer if you'd called me daddy." I lift her chin to meet my eyes.

"Yeah right. Like I'll ever call you that." She sneezes as she's about to close the door I pick her up by her legs and carry her over my shoulder.

"What are you doing, perv!" She fights to get released from my grip.

I throw her on her bed and cover her up.

"You're still sick." I say. She suddenly motions me to get out as she's about to change. She comes out in red plaid pajama pants and a black t-shirt and her hair is in a bun. She also has slippers on.

"Let's go." She says grabbing her keys.

"Go?" I ask.

"I need to buy more medicine and tissues." She says.

"You're leaving like that?" I question.

"Does it matter? Not trying to impress anyone here. Besides being in bed all day is no good for me." She smiles as if almost telling me don't worry about me.

I nod as we walk to the nearest CVS. As we're there, Hinata gets a lot of food. Geez, is she pregnant or something? No wait.. Could she really?

"Are you pregnant?" I ask her.

"N-No! Just hungry." She turns redder than she already is.

We ended up grabbing some medicine and tissues. Finally, what we really needed.

I offer to pay for her and as we walk to her apartment again, soon we are stopped by a boy with red hair.

"Hinata? Long time, no see!" He smiles.

"Gaara-kun. Hello." She says with a disgusted face almost as she had some bad history with this dude.

"How are things?" He says as he's about to reach for her shoulder I slap his hand away.

What is wrong with me? My body just suddenly moved on it's own.

"Is this your boyfriend now?" He asks nervously.

"No"

"Yes" We ended up saying different things at the same time.

"So which one is it?" He laughs.

"No." Hinata says.

"Oh really?" I say as I stare at her.

"Yes. We're not a thing and apologize to Gaara-kun." She says.

"Hinata-san, it's alright really." He says.

"No, what he did was uncalled for. Come on, apologize. Please." She practically begs me.

"If you want to defend him so badly then why don't you make him walk you home!" I yell before walking away and dropping her bags.

"Itachi!" I hear her yell but I'm too furious to turn back.

I ended up drinking at a bar.

I'm made to break hearts not get mine broken.

I sigh as I ask the bartender for another cheap light beer.

I finish it off as I walk out a bit light-headed but still somewhat sober.

Usually when I'm this way, I'm able to think a little better.

I had no right to do that. She was right, I've should've apologized. I shouldn't had gotten mad at her either for saying we're not going out because it's true. It's just ever since I met her I wanted her to be mine. Only mine. I never thought that about anyone. I only used girls for sex to fill the empty void in my heart after my parents died and thought my little brother did too. But was I wrong. With one simple smile I fell in love. It's almost as if everything had been cleared away from darkness. I need to apologize now before I lose her.

I ended up checking my phone to check the time only to see a million text messages from her and missed calls.

Where are you, perv?

Are you okay?

Look I don't know why you did that but he's just an old friend who's about to get married, weird isn't it?

He asked for advice on which ring is better.

I hope you're okay.

Please be okay.

Sick or not, I'm going to go find you.

Did you know? They're having a sale on marshmallows?! :)

Itachi, someone is following me.

That's where the messages stop.

I'm an idiot! A fucking idiot! I left her alone while she's sick and it's almost night.

I ended up walking around almost all of Tokyo asking around for her. I called her and texted her many times but she never answered. Just when I thought I had given up an old woman had made me have hope again.

She said she had seen her there earlier looking for someone and ended up heading right. Closer and closer I got, as many people had claimed to have seen her.

I ended up in a park with almost nothing in it. Not a child or swing set. Barely even a playground if you ask me. The sign said "Off Limits." But there was one thing that caught my eye.

A man banging furiously at a portable potty. He tried to pull at the door but it seemed whatever was in there held on tighter. It immediately clicked right there and then.

I ran towards them and grab the man from behind putting him into a headlock. I chocked him out until he passed out. I ended up calling the police as I knocked the door.

"Hinata?" I say as it suddenly opened. Hinata fell into my arms as she had fainted from her fever.

"Itachi, I'm glad you're okay." She said before fainting.

I'm really an idiot.

I carried her to her apartment and noticed her phone was dead. Which explains her not answering.

I unlocked the door using her keys and lay her down on her bed and try to warm her up from the cold night.

I turn around and sit there with a blushed face.

"I'm sorry, I was mean to your friend and to you.  I don't know what came over me but you're right. I should've apologized. Hopefully you can forgive me that. I'm sorry for abandoning you too."

I turn around as I know she's still sleeping and can't hear me.

"And one more thing." I say lifting her bangs up and kissing her forehead.

"I love you."
