Hi! I just found your blog not too long ago and I love it! Iâm really happy I found it. You said your requests are closing soon so I thought I would ask, could you do an Alpha!reader courting Omega!Itachi and Neji (separately) but their families donât approve of them because while Reader is an amazing ninja they donât come from a ninja family? And if youâll only do one, you can pick which one you want. I like them both to much to pick. Thanks!
(Hey, thanks so much for your kind words! I'm assuming this is non-massacre au Itachi.)
The boys are being courted by this amazing alpha. They're perfect and kind and gorgeous and respectful, just everything they could have hoped for.
And the boys are in love. Truly and deeply, ready and willing to mate and marry soon.
When they are suddenly called in to a meeting with their respective clan heads.
Neji is on edge to be called to see his uncle, Itachi is not concerned as he meets with his father fairly frequently.
But the meeting is something worse than either of them expect.
Why now? Why after all this time are they suddenly saying they don't approve?
Neji storms out of the meeting, furious.
He's had enough of this shit.
Despite everything his clan have done to him, he's somehow still surprised that they would have the audacity to push something like this.
He won't allow them to take something else away from him, never again.
He heads straight to his alpha's house, uncaring that it's an act of outright defiance.
He walks straight through his alpha's front door and starts brewing some tea in their kitchen.
And thatâs how his alpha finds him, calmly drinking tea at their kitchen table.
âHey, Neji,â they greet, running a hand over his shoulders. âIâm so happy you dropped by, I-â
âMy uncle wants up to break up.â
Their hand stills immediately.
âWhat? Are you serious?â
âOf course, I am,â Neji snaps. âWhy would I joke about something like this?â
Nejiâs intended mate simply flops down onto the seat next to him, a curse word slipping from their lips. A heavy silence suffocates them both.
âAre you breaking up with me?â they eventually ask, voice weary.
Neji hesitates for only a moment before he steels his nerves.
âNo? Neji, your seal-â
âI donât care,â Neji says firmly. âI wonât let them control me anymore.â
âI donât want you to get hurt,â they say, gently brushing his hair out of his face. âYour happiness is the most important thing to me, and I wonât hold it against you if you break up with me, Neji, I promise.â
âDonât you dare,â Neji starts, voice and composure cracking slightly. âDonât you dare say that.â
Neji shuffles closer on his chair and rests his head on his alphaâs shoulder. Hesitantly, they place an arm around him, rubbing his shoulder with their thumb.
âI donât think I can go back to the compound,â Neji says heavily. âTheyâll take my coming here as an act of defiance and Iâll be punished.â
Nejiâs alpha tightens their grip on him. They wonât be allowing that to happen.
âI should have grabbed some of my stuff first, but I was so angry, I was stupid to let my emotions take over like that.â
âHey,â they reprimand gently. âDonât say that about yourself. You can stay here with me, of course, and Iâll buy you anything you need. Weâll get through this, I promise. Youâve chosen me, and I will choose you in return, always.â
âThey will try and use the seal,â Neji says cautiously. âI know they will, but donât give in to their demands, no matte how much pain Iâm in.â
âThey wonât use the seal,â they say confidently.
âThey will-â Neji starts to argue.
âNot if weâre mated they wonât.â
âIf weâre mated, the village laws support me in making decisions about your wellbeing and they will support me if I attack the person using your seal. The law would be on our side.â
âWeâre not mated though,â Neji says, pointedly avoiding your eyes.
âWe could be though, by the end of tonight.â
Neji flushes and opens his mouth to reply but no words come out.
âI may have gone a little overboard with the nesting materials I was going to give you for your birthday, so I have plenty of things for you,â they say sheepishly. âIt would be the best solution and⊠Well, it would be my honour to be mated to you.â
âOkay,â is the only word Neji can force out of his mouth.
âThen letâs do this!â Nejiâs soon-to-be mate grins, pulling Neji out of the chair and towards the stairs. âYou get started on the nest, Iâll grab some supplies, youâre not in heat, so weâll need some extra things. But I should have them around the house-â
They continue to babble excitedly and Neji just watches them with a smile on his face. He isnât used to people standing up for him like this, loving him like this. But he thinks itâs the most wonderful thing thatâs ever happened to him.
Itachi is shell-shocked and numb after the meeting.
How could this be happening?
He has no idea what to do.
Itachi isolates himself from both his family and his alpha for two weeks, trying to figure out some way to fix this, a way that he can appease his family without giving up his soulmate.
He makes himself physically sick from the stress and isolation.
Heâs paler and skinnier than normal. His eyes are dull and his hair is limp. He hasnât slept properly since the meeting, his eye bags and stress lines more pronounced that ever.
But he wonât give up trying to find some way to convince his family. Some loophole or some way to make his alpha an advantageous match for the clan.
He knows that if he canât find a way to mediate, heâll have to break up with his alphaâŠ
Of course, Itachiâs alpha is panicked and distraught by him just disappearing. They search the whole village, but no one will let them into the Uchiha compound!
Until they manage to spot him in an isolated corner of the market. They run up to him and get a solid grip on his arm so that he canât leave.
âItachi!â they call after the finally have a grip on him. âWhat the hell are you playing at?! Iâve had no word from you in two weeks!â
âLet me go,â Itachi says simply, refusing to turn around and face him.
âYeah, not going to happen,â they scoff. âDo you want to break up? Is that it? Then at least say it to my face, Itachi, instead of running off like a coward!â
Itachi finally whirls around, glaring at his alpha for their accusations. But he doesnât look well. He looks sick. All of the fight drains out of them immediately, replaced by concern.
âAre you sick?â they ask. âItachi, please, just tell me whatâs going on.â
Itachi lets out a whine, presumably by mistake if the way he immediately covers his mouth with a hand is any indicator. They loosen their grip on his arm and instead wind their arms around his waist, pulling him into their chest. Something is very, very wrong with him. They are still angry, but concern is steadily mounting.
Itachi lets out a shuddering breath and involuntarily relaxes into his alphaâs arms instead of fighting it the way you expected him to.
âMy father wants us to break up,â Itachi whispers, another whine slipping through.
Itachiâs alpha sighs. They should have known it was something like this. Itachi was always trying to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders by himself.
âShh, itâs okay,â they soothe him. âWe can figure it out together, I promise.â
Itachi lets out another shaky breath, but they can feel his head getting heavier and heavier against their shoulder. When was the last time he slept?
They hold him steadily, keeping him still and releasing a comforting scent. Itachi slowly starts to lean more and more of his weight against them. Heâs falling asleep.
They wait until his breathing has completely evened out before picking him up and carrying him home.
They would deal with this together.
Itachi still needs to learn that he can lean on other people, and you will make sure to teach him as many times as he needs it.
