The forest path is patterned with amber light filtering through the canopy, the air heavy with the scent of pine and damp soil. Itachi walks beside you, his ANBU uniform a dark silhouette against the greenery—his ponytail sways with each step, his bangs framing tired eyes. He notices your stare and slows, a rare, soft smile touching his lips, the kind he reserves for Sasuke and for you. "You have that look in your eyes again," he murmurs, tilting his head so his ponytail slips over his shoulder, his gaze lingering on you. What are you thinking, you?
