    ✖ II — The reply that left the familiar male made a soft chuckle dance past fair lips, making it carry into the otherwise silent room, where there was currently no one else but them. It was peaceful, and Itachi would be lying if he said that he didn’t like such a simple fact as it felt as if Shisui was giving this to him; this undivided attention, like there was no place he would rather be. And now, with his mind-canvas almost done, the midnight-haired male felt much more at ease, even if it wasn’t fully complete.

The desire to make this connection he felt between them last, suddenly bloomed within his softly defined chest, in a way that Itachi hadn’t expected, especially because Shisui and him had only seen each a couple of times. Well, this was the closest he had gotten to actually ‘see’ the other male. It was amazing how such a simple act could make him feel so at ease and so warm. 

          ❝   I feel.. at ease like this. Closer to you, as if I can see you, Shisui,   ❞

Itachi admitted after hearing the last words that surprised him slightly, before making a small smile bloom upon tender flesh. 

It was the first time anyone would like to put themself in his shoes and it felt better than the blind male had ever thought possible. Shisui was being kind, kinder than most and showing a rare type of compassion for what Itachi was going through. And, the unseeing Uchiha took it to his chest like a touchable piece of treasure. It would also be the first time anyone outside his family would do this kind of thing to him.

         ❝   It’s not silly, if you need a definition of what it is, then it’s touching.                     You’re the first person who has requested this. It makes me happy,                                                          Shisui. So, yes, if you wish to try, you can do so.   ❞

Some might see this as such a small thing, but it was big for someone being unable to see, and now, Shisui had his permission to do as he so pleased - to put himself in Itachi’s shoes, even if there was still something very intimate about this. However, if the blind male asked himself, if he minded this, then his answer would be no, due to Shisui and him having spoken so much with each other. It felt as if they had known each other for decades, which was mostly due to them having spend so much time voice-chatting.

Shisui came off as a gentle individual, thus, Itachi couldn’t help but wonder, how the other’s hands would feel like, mapping out his features.

MODERN AU - Business!Verse & Glass!Verse

Business!Verse  (  based on @uchihaheir‘s verse  )

Name: Itachi Uchiha Occupation/Status: CEO of Uchiha Inc. Lives: in Kyoto in a big apartment near the edge of the city as he likes the quiet it gives him. Age: 22 Having taken over his father’s company, Itachi is currently the CEO of Uchiha Inc. A big famous tech company that is known worldwide, this leaves a lot of responsibility on the elder Uchiha’s young shoulders, something that can easily be seen, however, knowing it’s his duty to follow the family tradition, Itachi has never complained and never showed any desire towards anything else as he knew what he was expected to do once he got of age and was done with his education. Before Itachi took over the company, he had worked hard to please his father, something that didn’t change even after Itachi became very ill, a thing that almost cost him his life which ended up changing the elder Uchiha’s behavior towards his little brother, making Itachi appreciate what he had a lot more in the way that he started to pay far more attention to Sasuke. Itachi begin to make sure that their father wasn’t putting too much pressure on the younger of the two as he realized how little time he had to really enjoy his life before everything.

In Itachi’s free time, he likes to cook, spend time with his brother and listen to classic music, he also has a weakness for (dango) bonsai trees and got at least three at home.

Glass!Verse (  Based on this, aka blind!modern verse  )

Name: Itachi Uchiha Occupation/Status: Studying music & works from home. Lives: Konoha city with his family though, also has his own apartment that he uses at times. Age: 20 

At the age of fourteen, Uchiha Itachi was the victim of a hate-crime against the rich Uchiha family that resulted the poor youth to lose 90% of his vision - becoming “blind” which was due to being hit directly in the eyes with strong chemicals. 

Nowadays, the elder Uchiha does home-studies in the form of reading Braille and listening to private instructors that he talks with over Skype or in person. At home - at times - Itachi has Izumi, who is a caretaker, specialized to take care of the blind eldest of Fugaku, something that has been insisted on by Fugaku Uchiha himself, who hired Izumi specially for that job. Izumi is a 24/7 caretaker, even if she isn’t with the eldest every day, which means that Itachi can call her at any time if he needs help, a power that the blind male rarely uses due to being pretty capable of doing things himself - even blind, Itachi still shows his far above average intelligence. The blind male, even like this, is still seen as a genius, something that greatly shows as Fugaku still calls his eldest son to discuss business with him when he needs someone else’s opinion on certain things. 

Facts:

Itachi even after his incident, still plays violin, something he has been taken lessons on since he was merely 5 years old. Due to the many years that the eldest son has been playing the beautiful instrument, it’s almost impossible to hear that Itachi is blind when he plays. Some that has heard him play, even had to get confirmation that the eldest Uchiha was in fact really blind.

Itachi has a great love for piano music though, doesn’t play it as much as he plays the violin, he feels less confident in this ability, and even then, still plays beautifully in many’s eyes.

More times than not, Itachi wears sunglasses to hide his eyes, this is done out of courtesy to the people around him, as even blind, Itachi can still follow individuals pretty decently due to the faint light and shadows that the eldest can make out.

When Itachi is not wearing his sunglasses, people can make out faint scars around the male’s eyes if they look closely enough, something that appeared after the incident, but also due to a few surgeries that were attempted to save his eyes. 

Itachi’s eyelids tend to flicker softly with or without his sunglasses as he still has the tendency to feel like he needs to blink at times.

        ✖ II —  Happiness made itself known upon hearing those words leave the familiar male. Itachi hadn’t been certain if this had been welcomed, his mind had been asking silently if it was truly okay to request this - even if it was something simple - to map out Shisui’s face, to ‘see’ him, once they were alone here in his apartment. It was something so simple and yet, it held a lot of intimacy to touch another individual so freely, to memorize their features and to take in, what made them them in the physical sense. It was like drawing a piece of art within your mind, putting a face upon a blank canvas with your fingertips, coated in paint. In this case, it would undoubtedly be warm colors melting into each other, to form Shisui’s features. Even before Itachi had touched, he knew that the male before him was handsome due to Izumi having been as kind as to describe the older for the blind male.

Reaching slowly out, slender digits went forward until they connected with a firm and clad chest, using it to follow upwards until the tips of his fingers reached a warm throat, where they went along it to a slightly defined jawline. Running his thumb over the skin there with obsidian hues resting behind closed lids while a small smile danced on fair lips.

The painting within his mind was taking form as his slender digits carefully moved, gliding slowly over Shisui’s face. At the moment, a thumb was running ever so gently along a bottom lip before traveling over the top one, making Itachi able to feel tender flesh against his thumb. Soon, both hands were upon the features, that were slowly appearing within Itachi’s mind and upon his inner canvas. Traveling along warm cheeks, taking them in before letting his index and middle fingers grace over the nearby closed eyelids and down the bridge of Shisui’s nose, taking in the widening of it.

Moving his hands up again, carefully along Shisui’s face, slender digits tenderly graced warm skin until he reached the surprisingly soft curly hair which was a feeling Itachi got lost in for a few seconds as he let the locks glide in between in fingers. Until, he realized what he was doing, resulting him to pull back with a crimson tint upon ivory cheeks.

                                                           ❝   My apologizes. I got lost in the sensations.   ❞ 

It wasn’t a lie as Itachi had felt so at peace and so pleased to finally having been able to get a mental picture of Shisui, even if it made curiosity bloom within the softly defined chest due to still having a slightly incomplete canvas within his mind though, he was still very thankful for having been able to do this - that Shisui had trusted enough to let him do this.

    ✖ II — Spending his day with Shisui was something that the unseeing male took great pleasure in, perhaps even more than just that. It was one of those days where they had decided to merely relax at his apartment away from wandering eyes and too loud voices. It was no surprise that Itachi was sensitive to sounds, sensitive to the loudness of the world around him, which was why he found safety behind closed doors - especially with the man he knew was right before him due to the dip in the king sized bed.

Suddenly hearing that leave Shisui, Itachi tilted his head ever so slightly and waited, already expecting a touch of some sort as that was the only way he could ‘see’ what the other felt. Though, having not expected the other male to guide his hand along his defined abdomen, a soft crimson tint spread along ivory cheeks. It felt intimate and yet, that was immediately forgotten once he felt that soft beating heart beneath his fingertips, which felt the vibrating rhythm that made it very easy to guess what Shisui felt, it was something that made tenderness immediately grace Itachi’s features. Even with darkness having swallowed most of his vision, Shisui was still being a warm source of light, hence why a soft smile was directed at the male, even if misty obsidian hues could see none of the expression the man was making.

Hearing how the distance between them grew smaller and smaller with each word leaving the elder, Itachi closed his unseeing eyes - even if he was used to have them open - for a brief moment until he felt the warm cheek against his own, resulting the blind male to relax against the pleasant form, showing how content he was and how much he appreciated Shisui’s gentleness.

     ❝   I appreciate it, Shisui and I am happy that I have been granted this                                                                              as you’re a very beautiful piece.   ❞

The words carried a softness that rarely got displayed and yet, it was as easy as breathing for the blind Uchiha to do it in Shisui’s presence due to how he treated him.

In a moment such as this, Itachi was sure their hearts were beating in sync as warmth wrapped around the two like a blanket, in a moment  such as this, Itachi forgot what seeing was like and instead appreciated what he had which was much better than longing for something he lost many years ago. Much, much better.
