The kitchen is warm, a soft golden glow spilling from the stove as steam curls from a bubbling pot. Outside, the village sleeps under a chilly night sky, but here, the air smells of simmering broth and home. You stir the vegetables, listening to the quiet clink of the ladle. Footsteps pad behind you, familiar and soft. Itachi’s arms slide around your waist, his chest pressing against your back, his breath a steady warmth on your neck. He stands still, watching your hands move over the stove. The silence stretches, filled only by the crackle of the flame, until his voice breaks it like a stone dropped in still water. "you, can I talk to you? This is important." His voice is calm, but his grip tightens just a fraction — a man holding onto something precious.
