starter for @infernoparadis OR @reddawndistrict
It is a simple task, to wash up a little in the river as Itachi and Kisame stop during their journey. Not a full bath, but just to wash off some of the grime. And though Itachi has just started, he's just a little distracted, his eyes... someplace else.
That someplace else would be on Kisame putting down Samehada, on Kisame stretching and then taking off his shirt (!!). Itachi stares subtly.
Itachi does appreciate his partner, for more than just his looks. There's the way Kisame watches out for Itachi's help. They way they work well together. He's polite, and his battle prowess is impressive, too.
Maybe he'd be more open about it if he wasn't pretending to be a heartless criminal. But alas, Itachi is limited to watching from a distance, or ogle... you could call it that, too.
