Chapter 22

"Naruto the-" Itachi started but was interrupted by Naruto, "Already done." Itachi looked up at Naruto who wasn't even looking at him as he entered the office.
"What?" Naruto asked, confused as to what Itachi was looking at him for. Itachi shook his head but continued looking at him, amused. Naruto made a face at Itachi as if suspicious of his intentions but made his way towards Itachi to hand him the file. "Meeting at 9 am, 11 am, 2pm and 6pm." At that Itachi groaned and let out a big sigh, making Naruto laugh.
"Don't be like that, you are an Uchiha! Emotionless and cool as a cucumber." Naruto teased, shaking his head as if he does not condone that kind of attitude. Itachi narrowed his eyes at his desk, "I don't wanna be a cucumber." Itachi said with a serious face and Naruto swallowed, trying not to laugh.
"Understood. I will remember that." Naruto said with an equally serious face, "and also, lunch with Fugaku-sama, Mikoto-sama and Sasuke." Itachi looked up from the document he was reading. "Would you like to join us for lunch, Naruto?" Itachi asked, a smile on his lips. Naruto spluttered, looking away blushing. "I don't think that's a good idea." Itachi rocked his chair side to side as if considering what Naruto said. Itachi shrugged, "why not, my beautiful lovely secretary?" Naruto flared his nostrils at Itachi.
"It is a family lunch, Itachi." Naruto said with a look, saying that he should know better than to ask Naruto to join them. Itachi reached out to wrap an arm around Naruto's waist to pull him closer, nuzzling his face into the blond's side. "But you are my family." Naruto blinked at the response before turning away, face red. Naruto had not expected Itachi to think of him as a family member. "We are in the office, Itachi!" Naruto hissed but Itachi only tightened his grip on the half-struggling blond. "Besides, I think it is time my parents see the only secretary that has lasted for almost 2 years and I haven't even thought about firing yet." Naruto laughed, handing Itachi the tablet he was holding to go through the schedule once again to see if the man had a last minute change of plans that he wanted to fit in.

"Could you also put in at 8 pm that we are to go out?" Itachi asked, smiling at Naruto as he handed the tablet back to Naruto who was looking through the documents on the table to see if he missed anything. "We have to go where?"
"Out, a date." Itachi clarified. Naruto nodded thoughtfully, making sure to remember that for himself too. They had been dating for more than a year, usually going out on little dates every 2 days whenever they were free. Sometimes Naruto stayed really late into the night after persuading Itachi that he would go home soon only for Itachi to find him asleep at his desk the next day, making the older male extremely upset. Naruto tried to kick the habit of drowning himself in work every chance he got because he knew Itachi wasn't happy that he is literally destroying his health with all the work. "Then we are going to bring you home and you are going to rest."
"I'm fine." Naruto muttered, tapping away to reply to a message. Itachi sighed, you'd think that Uchiha Itachi can do everything and anything easily but making sure Naruto wasn't on the path of self-destruction was hard. "I'll go get your coffee before your meeting starts later." Naruto said before leaving the office.

Itachi rubbed his face when he was finally done with the morning meetings. The whole time, they are reporting the exact same thing that he could see on the laptop; if he is going to have to read what they send to him but then report the same thing, then why bother?! At least update him on the progress of the projects instead of the repetitive data. "Let's go Naruto." Itachi declared as he walked to Naruto's desk, straightening his jacket. Naruto looked up from his computer and then back at it to check the time. "Where?"
"Lunch with my family." Itachi said.
"Wha- what? I can't." Itachi sighed, he walked around the desk and tugged at Naruto's hand to pull him up. "You don't get a choice, my lovely secretary." Itachi said jokingly but still trying to be firm, knowing that Naruto would probably not eat if he leaves him alone. "They aren't going to bite your head off you know." Naruto made a face but complied anyway, locking his computer and drawers before following Itachi out. 'What if they don't like me? What if I make a mistake? Hope I don't embarrass myself.'
