Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto
It is said that opposites attract, that meeting that special someone is a wish come true. In the lives of a ninja, it could very well cost you your life. That someone that you want to hold dear and not let go can be your biggest down fall. Not all ninjas want that. They want to become stronger with nothing holding them back. They separate themselves from there own human nature of emotions, the longing for companionship and comfort.
This is all to true for both Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame.
They both felt it, the need for those feeble emotions to return to them. To finally find that special someone that could make all the pain and suffering just disappear. That could make them feel like they were somebody, not just an emotionless killing machine. They both had harsh lives, both misunderstood, both trying to be someone they just weren't. Trying to keep that mask on, the one that never showed any of there true, real feelings.
No one ever took the chance to look at either and see underneath that mask that hide them so well. No one could see the child screaming to be heard, crying for comfort and protection from the harsh, cruel world they found themselves in. They had both about given up hope, until they met each other.
At first it just started out as a job, they needed each other to get there missions done for the Leader and that was that. After every mission they would go there separate ways until they were called back for another one. Slowly but surely it started to become more. At first neither could care less if another was having trouble with an opponent, just as long as the mission was complete it didn't matter if one lived or died. Than it started to change. Kisame started to watch the youngers back more often, would take on the more physical stronger people for himself so Itachi would not have to worry about close combat. Kisame also found himself becoming more and more talkative around the cold Uchiha, less cold and more friendly to him. He started to watch the Uchiha's back more often and would always be a step or two behind to keep watch.
Itachi also found himself becoming more used to the shark. He started to let his guard down more often around him, knowing Kisame would be there to protect him. He started to tolerate Kisame's constant talking and would even sometimes respond. Itachi found himself being more aware of his partners presents and how calming it was to know that he was always there to help, though he would never out right ask for it.
They both started to feel it. Becoming at ease with one another. Learning each others body language and learning how each other thought. The other members didn't really see how much they had changes. To them both Itachi and Kisame were the same cold blooded killers. To each other though they were something else, something that could even be labeled as friends.
The years went on and there relationship began to grow. They could both feel this new feeling within them. Something neither had much experience in but right away knew what it was.
Love.
Whenever they would accidentally brush up against each other while walking, or when helping each other bandage there wounds, they always felt a spark leap between them. They always needed to force themselves to pull away, not knowing what the other would think. Not wanting to mess up what they had so far but urning for something more. Wanting to finally have someone to protect and have protecting them. Wanting someone to chase away the nightmares and bring about the peace within there minds. Wanting to hold someone close and not be afraid of getting hurt. Wanting to love one another with all there heart and soul.
Than one day it finally happened. Neither knowing how or why but knowing that it happened. They were recovering from after one of there missions, just getting out of there briefing with the Leader and heading for there room. They both felt so tired they quickly got out of there blood covered clothes and went to bed. Neither really registering that they both got into the same bed, it just felt so right neither questioned it. Kisame threw his arm around the Uchiha's waist and pulled him closer. Itachi looked up, feeling only love and comfort towards the blue man. Without really thinking he leand up just as Kisame's head started to move down. There lips met in a warm, lingering kiss. Neither questioning it, both so wrapped up in the emotions coursing threw them that they just stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity.
When they finally separated all Kisame could smile down at his partner. Itachi in turn let it show how content he was. They shared another heartwarming kiss before Itachi put his head on Kisame's chest while Kisame put his chin on top of Itachi's. He pulled the Uchiha closer and they laid there content and happy that they finally had somebody they could let in. That they could protect and cherish. That they could let there emotions show.
When they woke the next morning, feeling refreshed and warm for the first time in a long time, they did not question it. They did not question how they were together, how they felt towards the other. All they could feel that it was right, that this is what they had wanted there whole lives.
They both just wanted someone to love and be loved.
