If only it were that easy. To ask questions and receive honest answers. However, Itachi is so wrapped up in fabrications of his own making that he spills truths, lies and half truths all in a single breath. It’s up to his listeners what they accept and what they don’t.
His mind buzzes with static; sharingan spinning, filtering a lifetime’s worth of memories in a blink. Disjointed words jumble from the recesses of his mind, fragmented sentences that need chewing, parsing. It’s really not the best time for his eyes to itch the way they do.
“Or what? You really think you can threaten me?” He laughs, dragging fingers down his face as black feathers, caught in the current of his chakra, swirl and pulse to the beat of his heart.
“Think again.”
It was a bold move, that much she knows, but what else can she do exactly when you are facing someone as Itachi Uchiha? She looks back at the rest of the squad, mostly made up of medical nins. They did not expect this encounter after all as they are in the forest to gather herbs to replant in Konoha’s greenhouse.
Who would’ve thought this short trip up the mountains would end up with them facing the man Konoha has been trying to get their hands on for years?
“ I am not here to threaten you. I am simply stating facts, Itachi-san. You can’t run forever... “ there was a slight tremble in her voice, no matter how much she fights to keep it steady. But knowing they are at a huge disadvantage meeting Itachi here, with a team not meant to fight, Sakura knows she has to refrain making him angry, “ I heard some things. Maybe they are rumours, maybe they are not -- who knows. It is about the real reason why you did everything you did.... “

The sudden spike of chakra didn’t phase the pink haired woman at all, in fact it brought a smile to her face. It meant he was actually going to answer the door. She was so sure he was just going to ignore the knock and continue on with whatever he was doing before.
Her smile remained when he cracked open the door, in fact, she looked a bit excited when he said her name, “Ah! You remembered my name.” Not something she was expecting considering how little they’ve had the chance to interact. She’s healed him a couple times in the past but that’s about it.
She was quite happy he wasn’t just outright glaring at her. She was so used to Sasuke’s level of Uchiha crankiness that Itachi’s near blank expression peaking through the crack of the door felt like a welcomed change. Out of all the Uchiha she has met, Itachi had the least crankiest expression on his face. She was pretty sure that chronic glare was genetic for them, at least, it seemed that way when it came to Sasuke.
“Yes, you can help me by taking these chocolates and eating them.” She held out the box at him while he peeked through the door.
“I made you some Valentine's chocolate. Even went through the extra effort to make them into hearts! They’re a bit deformed looking but I tried.” She continued on, still stupidly holding out the box, completely expecting him to take it,
“I figured you didn’t get anything, and I’d hate for someone to feel lonely during this time, so I brought this as a peace offering of sorts.” Sakura liked to believe everyone deserves a second chance. Even Itachi. Sense no one else had the balls to reach out to him, she was going to. Worst he could do was reject her offering and that wouldn’t be the first time an Uchiha rejected her right to her face. She was prepared for anything.

It was not supposed to be her turn to be the designated sober friend in charge of making sure she and her companion got home. Actually that had been her the last time she was dragged to some party that she honestly had no time or business going to. But by the first half hour her partner in crime had slipped off and promptly gotten more than just lucky. By the time Kiya found out several tasty beverages had been consumed, but had been left alone. With relatively no one to talk to.
So now she was alone, avoiding potential disaster and trying to make sure that if she was going to keep drinking at least there should be food consumed right alone with it. The puff pastries were particularly delicious.
It’s during contemplation of wondering if she could just slip out (with her friend currently making up with a significant other and doing so loudly down the hall), when she turns to find a body up in her personal space and leaning forward. Against… her? Or the table? He is taller than her but it’s not hard to be, and if she wanted she thinks she could either slip out it be able to kick him hard enough.
Oh, she knows this person. “Uh, hello?” And he doesn’t remember her? Mutual friends and whatnot, but clearly he doesn’t remember her. They haven’t hung out together, not really. On one hand he looks like he’s totally out of it and even if she might be slightly past tipsy, he’s definitely either drunk or stoned. And sleepy?
Then his mouth opens. And out comes one of the cheesiest pick up lines she’s ever heard and if he wasn’t being utterly adorable while out of his mind she might have kicked him for the smirk. It earns a snort of laughter and a sigh. No kicks.
Instead Kiya’s hands go to his hips to help steady and give some semblance of balance. Even if she’s sorta enjoying the whole pressed-up-against-something situation. Just, you know, she might wish they were both more sober for this. And against a wall. Or something not covered with food and drink and potential messes. “Itachi, you know me. We’ve met before.”
She wonders though, in this state, if he might let her play with his hair and braid it. Given the lack of personal bubble they’ve found themselves in.

No matter his skill with a kunai or aptitude for academia, @uchihaprodigy was still a child, thus, for as long as Mikoto could help it, entitled to his fair share of childish delights. She sets a small bowl of cut fruit in front of him ( strawberries, tangerines, apple, mango; a selection that would make any sweet tooth falter ) before taking a seat at the table. It was becoming harder to have moments like these with him. The village was determined to strip the baby fat from his cheeks the same way a hunter flayed a deer to reach prime venison, rendering the animal into useful flesh and useless scrap, as if he were only ——— ...
A dark prediction in her body, but a warmth upon her face : Mikoto’s joy, gently unobtrusive in the space between them. It was a skill, exchanging personhood for motherhood, shelving the worry from his sight like memoirs in a shoebox; only her Lord husband would be allowed to see the inner compartments of her psyche. For Itachi...
For Itachi, there was only this. A pleasantly cool room. A family dinner table. The sugary scent of a mother’s love. The offer of being a normal boy, ever present, even if he did not wish to take it.
❝ What kind of birthday party would you like this year, Itachi? Is there anyone you would like to invite? ❞

Shisui was not expecting an almost immediate response. Honestly, he’s been too afraid to look at his messages, unsure of what the guy on the other end was going to say. Maybe they’d laugh at him and turn him down. Maybe he shouldn’t have done this at all. What if this complete stranger distributes his photo to other complete strangers? Sure, his face isn’t in the picture and that could technically be anybody, but still.
All flavors of regret are running through his head as he lay there in bed, suddenly sweating, fingers trembling somewhat.
And it takes him a bit to work up the courage to pick up the phone and read the message after it comes through. Has to suck in a few deep breaths, tell himself he could claim that wasn’t him if threatened, and delete+block is always an option if things go pear-shaped.
He is not expecting a message from Itachi, however. (And there’s that big part of him that’s wishing it’s Itachi on the other side of the conversation he’d been having with the stranger on Grindr.)
Itachi’s number on his phone seems to calm him down more than any pep talk he can give himself. So much so that he immediately goes in and opens up the message—
…Only to be thoroughly mortified at what’s just happened. Be careful what you wish for.
Shisui literally blanks out for a good long moment there where he hasn’t the slightest clue what to do now. The panic is back, all the color’s drained right out of his face, he’s dizzy, and he just wants the ground to swallow him up.
Something tells him he can’t rectify this with a simple text.
This is Itachi. This is his best friend. They went well beyond just ‘good friends’.
So Shisui presses the little green icon and brings his phone up to his ear, heart pounding in his chest, hoping Itachi would pick up. He’d sounded angry in that reply—perhaps he’s disgusted by him. Perhaps he’s mad at him for waking him up at ass-o’-clock. Perhaps it’s both.
At this point, Shisui is just counting the rings…
