Itachi X Reader (Naruto)

You ran your fingers through his hair as you watched his chest move upward and then downward with every breath he took. You just stared for as long as you could before your eyes trailed up to his face. You slowly took one of your hands and trailed your fingers down his cheek. The bruises on his arms were evident, so were the bandages that were wrapped around his torso covering even worse wounds and injuries. You traveled your hand down to his chest and gently grazed over his bandage. You flinched back when you saw his eyebrows knit together in pain. 


"Stop that" he whispered weakly as he shifted his head in your lap. "I can feel your gaze even in my slumber" He grumbled before opening his eyes. His eyes squinted, trying to adjust to the light in the room. He reached his hand up and caressed your cheek with his good hand. "I'll be fine. I've been through worse" He said before he turned to look over his injuries. "How are you doing?" His gazed shifted over to your arm that had been wrapped up in a gauze.


"I'm fine. Can I get you anything? Are you thirsty? Hungry?" You questioned as you held the hand that he was caressing your face with. you stopped running your hand through his hair and pulled it out carefully. He gently laughed at your worried complexion. He simply shook his head and moved off of your lap before patting the space beside him.


"I wish nothing more than to lay with you in peace. I'm more than tired of worrying and I'm sure you're slowly getting sick of it as well. Lay down with me. Please?" He asked as he pulled the blanket he had long kicked off in his sleep up his body and held up a portion of it so you could slip underneath it with him. You smiled at him and slipped under the blanket with him. He wrapped his arm around you.


"Are you alright to use that arm?" You whispered as you gently trailed your finger over his injured arm. "We could switch positions so you're more comfortable or-" He pulled himself closer to you and rested his head on his better arm. 


"shh (Name) sleep" He hummed before closing his eyes. He rested his forehead against yours as he slowly rubbed circles into your side. You smiled weakly and rested your arm on his side and looked at his face once more before closing your eyes. You felt him press a gentle kiss against your cheek before leaning away and closing his eyes one again.
