The rain was one of the only things that could calm him. He didn't like human comfort all that much, even when he knew that he had people to go to. Even if that person now was his partner. He knew Kisame was there for him, but he wasn't quite ready to put his thoughts, his emotions into words

The soft noise of the rain began to lull him into a half sleep, head tilting forwards which caused his hair to fall over his shoulders. Had it been any other time, he probably would have gotten annoyed, but instead, he just stayed leaned forwards, shivering every few minutes when raindrops would hit him.

Though, the sound of rush footsteps made him jerk back up, head turning in that direction before he noticed that they had stopped in the clearing that wasn't too far away. His hand came up, brushing wet hair off his cheeks then lowering to grasp the branch he was sitting on, swinging him down to his feet.

Neji silently moved towards the sound he had heard, using the trees to his advantage until he reached the clearing and crouched on one of the higher branches. He squinted through the rain, half tempted to use his kekkai genkai, but when he caught sight of who was standing in the clearing, he thought better of it

He had long since closed his eyes, letting the water splatter over his face. He was shivering, visibly. His whole body shook, but he stood there, his eyes blinking away the water from his eyes.

Bringing his hands up, Itachi ran them through his hair, slicking it back, his fingers catching on tangles. His hands remained on his head as he fell to his knees with a sigh.

He thought he heard something, jerking his head to the side, rain drops falling down his face like tears. Maybe they were tears, he couldn't tell, his mind was so jumbled. He looked around, onyx eyes searching through the haze of rain, looking for what could make that noise.

"Too foolish to come out an face me?" he asked. He didn't know who he was asking, but he knew someone, something was there.

He could still see Itachi from where he was on the tree branch, though everything was starting to get blurry and that cold feeling from before was starting to come back.

Pulling his legs against his chest for a moment, Neji held his breath to keep it steady, counting slowly in his head then blinking when he heard the elder male's voice. He shifted slightly, tugging his jacket off and tossing it aside, ignoring the fact his tank top was going to get even more drenched.

His head tilted back up, opalescent eyes flashing while he pushed himself back up into a crouch and lunged off the tree branch, landing gracefully a few feet away from the Uchiha.

``No,`` he replied quietly, crossing his arms over his stomach to keep from shivering.

Trailing close behind the other male, his hand tightened on Itachi's just barely, pale eyes glancing down when they had eventually made it back into the town.

The water in his sandals was starting to get annoying, but that wasn't what he was worried about the most. All the rain was starting to flood the streets and he hoped that it wouldn't get any higher than that.

``Let's go to yours.``

Nodding, Itachi turned and headed toward his apartment. This time, because of the rain, Itachi had left his window closed, so he lead Neji toward the front door.

He unlocked the front door, shaking some of the water free from his hair before stepping inside.

"We should get upstairs, and get out of these wet clothes."

[eighthsight]

He continued after him still, releasing Itachi's hand so he could unlock the door and lifting his hands to push his wet hair off his face and shoulders.

Brushing his fingers through the long locks, Neji wrung some water from his hair with one hand and caught the drops with the other, wiping them off onto his already soaked tanktop and following Itachi inside.

``That would be a good idea, though I do hope you have plenty of extra clothes . . ``

Closing the door behind them, Itachi slipped off his soaking wet sandals before heading straight for the stairs. He took them two at a time, looking over his shoulder to see that Neji was following.

"I should have something. Although I really have not bought a lot of clothes yet."
