It was late evening as Itachi stood at the kitchen sink with a plate in his hand and a washcloth in the other, the Uchiha had just began washing his supper dishes, as he did the dishes in silence his ears suddenly picked up on a slight knock coming from the front door, slowly he placed the dishcloth on the counter while the plate was lightly dropped back in the sink, while on his way to answer the door, he picked up a dry towel to dry  his hands off before reaching the door, once at the front door, the Uchiha unlocked it and slowly slid it opened to see Sakura and his baby niece in her arms. As he was about to say good evening to his sister-in-law he noticed that she looked distressed about something and moved aside so she could come in before asking if everything was alright. "Sakura...is everything alright?" Itachi asked with concern becoming visible on his face, as well in his voice.

He couldn't stay too long in Konoha, protocol demands that he visit the other nations once a year. Before he was set to departed he took a visit to the old compound. He had a small box that contained some of itachi's old favorite tea and he left it for his older brother to enjoy.

It was early afternoon as Itachi stood at the kitchen sink finishing up washing some dishes he used for breakfast, as the Uchiha finished cleaning the last dish that was in the sink, he placed it in the dish rack before pulling the plug, as the water drained he picked up the dish dryer and begun drying them, then placed them back in the cobert behind him. but while Itachi began to make his way to the living room his ears picked up on footsteps coming from the porch, quickly he went to see who was now standing outside, but by the time he had a chance to open the door, whoever was once standing there was gone.“I…wonder who that could have been?” Itachi asked himself and was about to step back inside and close the door, until he took notice of a small box sitting on the other side of the porch, when he looked inside of it, it was filled with small packets of his favorite tea and he instantly knew who had left the box for him.“Sasuke…” the Uchiha spoke silently then picked up the box and took it inside to place on the kitchen counter beside a small jar that was once full of tea bags, but was now half empty.

Once the box was placed beside the jar, Itachi waved hand signs to summon one of his crows so it could send a message to his younger brother, to thank him for the box of tea bags.

Δ = playing with their hair .

send one for my muse’s reaction to your muse —Δ = playing with their hair.

It was early morning as Itachi stood in front of the bathroom mirror drying his hair off after getting out of the shower, today he was leaving the village to meet up with Sasuke since he had been home for over a week for a much-needed break from traveling the five great nations with his younger brother. Once the Uchiha finished drying his hair off and was dressed he made his way down the hallway and to his bedroom so he could begin brushing his hair and pack some stuff he would need for his travels, but as Itachi sat down on the bed and reached for the brush sitting beside him on the bed, he suddenly heard footsteps enter and a smile wasn’t long appearing on his face.

“Sarada…” he said knowing who exactly it was that was now standing beside him, but before Itachi could ask his niece on how long it’s been since she arrived at his house, he suddenly felt her begin to play around with the trends of his long hair.“How…long have you been here?” he asked. The older Uchiha guessed Sarada must have arrived shortly after he got in the shower.

“The leaves are so pretty this year.”

“Yes…they are, aren’t they?” Itachi said with a slight smile appearing on his face as he looked up at the trees while leaves were falling off them and flying through the air while the wind gusted at a slow speed, it has been a while since the older Uchiha had set foot in the village since he had been accompanying Sasuke on his travels and when his younger brother had said he had to give Naruto a report on some strange happenings, Itachi took the opportunity to return as well so he could spend some time with his Niece and see the changing of the leaves in the village. But after a long moment of complete silence, his eyes drifted away from the trees and onto Sarada.“So how are your missions going?” he asked. Expecting that she may have some stories to tell him since it’s been a while since they’ve had a conversation with each other.

“DOWNPOUR”

Send me “DOWNPOUR” for my muse to show up on your muse’s doorstep during a rainstorm, drenched and shaking from the cold.

It was late afternoon when Itachi had decided that he would go into town so he could pick up a few things that he needed for his home, as he made his way through the village to collect the stuff that he needed,the Uchiha wasn’t long noticing that the wind had picked and all he could feel next was heavy rain pouring onto him.“Dammit…"Itachi cursed to himself then began making his way out of the vendor stalls so he could find some shelter until the rain eased up a little. While he continued his way out of the shopping districted he thought that his best bet was to seek shelter at his younger brother’s house, so quickly Itachi ran to Sasuke’s home and once he arrived now drenched and shivering from how cold he felt, he raised his hand up into a fist then began knocking on the door hoping that someone is home.

💕 (From Sarada~)

Send 💕 to hug my muse and not let go… no matter how much they squirm

Two weeks had passed since Itachi had returned to Konoha so he could spend some time with Sarada, but on the third week the older Uchiha decided that it was time that he left the village so he and his younger brother could continue their journey together, and as Itachi walked down the hallways of the family household his eyes drifted to his Niece’s bedroom and decided that he would go and give her a kiss on her forehead while she slept.

But when the Uchiha peeked inside the darkened room he didn’t see Sarada laying in her bed.”I…wonder where she could be?”Itachi asked himself with his eyebrows lowering, worried that he might not be able to see his Niece before he leaves the village because he wasn’t sure on when he might get the chance to visit again.

Releasing a disappointed sigh Itachi moved away from Sarada’s bedroom door and continued his way through the house, but suddenly the Uchiha heard quick footsteps coming towards him from behind and the next thing he felt was arms wrapping around his waist.“Sarada?" he asked with a smile before tilting his head to look down at the young female Uchiha who now had her arms wrapped around him as if she didn’t plan on letting him leave anytime soon.

⅍ - Go up to my muse and just snuggle them

My muse has been acting strange, send one for you muse to…

⅍  - Go up to my muse and just snuggle them

It was a little pass midnight as Itachi sat silently on the couch, with his attention to the ceiling above his head.The older Uchiha had been lost in his thoughts for the last three hours since himself and Sasuke returned home after being in the village most of the day.Picking up a few things that they would need for their travels,The older Uchiha was trying to make up his mind if he was going to go back on the road with his younger brother or stay in the village, so he could get to know his Niece a little.Because the last time he had seen Sarada was when she was just an infant.

But as more time had passed on trying to make up a decision, Itachi suddenly noticed a familiar lock of hair snuggle up against his shoulder.”Hey…”Itachi said with a light smile appearing on his face.”What’s up?”he asked.Expecting that Sasuke must have been growing concerned since he hasn’t said much to anyone in the last few hours.

✨

Send ✨ to dump glitter on my muse!

“Sasuke…why did you throw glitter on me?”Itachi asked with a suprised expression on his face not expecting that his younger brother would throw a bucket of glitter all over him.The older Uchiha would have understood if there was somekind of celebration going on,but guessed that maybe Sasuke had done it just to spark a little fun in their lives because they have been so on edge ever since they had begun their journey together.Always looking out for up coming threats that may be lurking in the shadows.

But right now Itachi had decided to play along with Sasuke’s little game and caught some of the sparkling glitter that fell out of his hair and onto his hand,without any warning the Uchiha bent down and picked up some more of the glitter that was now all over the floor and threw it at his younger brother with a light laugh escaping.

It really had been awhile since the two had done anything fun together.
