Broken

Chapter 16: Love Again

He couldn't wait for the date but right now he had to get through today to get to it. The Uzumaki could feel the butterflies in his stomach at the thought but ignored them. Opening them, he pushed the text of Itachi's, wanting to ask him something.

Where should we meet 2morrow?

Closing his phone, he got up and walked back into the house to see his fox coming down the steps with no sight of the calico. Following the orange furred animal with his eyes, Naruto shrugged and followed it to the kitchen.

"So what are we doing today?" Naruto inquired as his parents worked on getting breakfast ready even if he knew his father had to be tired from the seventeen-hour flight back home.

"Let me rest up for a bit and then we'll head out to dinner with your ojii and obaa." Minato answered as he brought the three plates out, setting them on the counter. Turning around and leaning on the neutral colored counter, he watched his son open his phone.

The Namikaze never saw his son so interested in someone before but then again, he only had Sasuke in his life. Sighing, he shrugged it off and went to get the fox some food.

Naruto brightened up at the reply. It was his favorite place to meet up with people. "YES!"

The room fell silent with him looking around to see the pet and his ryoushin staring at him. Smiling and laughing innocently, Naruto itched the side of his face.

"What was that about?" Kushina asked as she flipped an egg over.

"Itachi's gonna be taking me to the zoo tomorrow! I can't wait!" Naruto cheered as he replied to the ebony haired man with a smile on his face.

After breakfast which seemed interesting to everyone since Ichijo was with them. She jumped onto the island and looked at them before sitting down and started to clean herself right there.

"I really hope she doesn't do that all the time." Naruto mumbled to himself as he walked into his room to get dressed. Closing his door, Naruto walked over to his closet and drawers, pulling out a pair of pants and a short sleeved shirt. All he was going to do today besides visit his kazoku, was clean out that bag and put everything away.

Grabbing the orange speakers and dock, Naruto put them on his desk with everything going there or somewhere else. With the smile he had fall into a thin line, the blond flopped onto his bed, wishing things didn't end that way. He usually liked having people as his friends, not his enemy like Sasuke was seeing him as.

Grabbing his computer and plugging in the speakers his mother bought him before she left for her campaign, he turned on his collection of music. Shineby L'arc~en~Ciel started up as the blond stared at the ceiling once more.

The dinner was pretty interesting itself because his obaa started to freak out over the news of Sasuke dumping him for some girl that he didn't even know. Ojii on the other hand was very quiet before he said he was now seeing Itachi.

"What? Shouldn't you have waited for a while then do that?" Jiraiya complained as his gaze was on the blond who was eating his corn.

"I did but Itachi was there and we confessed to each other that we liked each other. Big deal." Naruto stated, bringing his spoon up and eating the corn on it.

"That is pretty surprising." Tsunade said, taking a sip of her wine afterwards. "As long as he keeps you happy and doesn't hurt you like that jerk, I support the relationship."

Nodding, Naruto went on eating as chit chat was going on between his family.

After getting home, taking his shower and answering unanswered texts, the blond went to bed with the cat curled up on his side. He couldn't wait for tomorrow.
