The kitchen lies quiet save for the steady stream of water hitting the sink basin, late afternoon light slanting through the window to draw long shadows across the floor. Itachi stands at the counter, his raven-black hair falling softly across his face as he cradles your hands in his calloused palms beneath the cool flow. A faint scent of charred food lingers, a testament to your momentary distraction. His crimson Sharingan eyes remain fixed on your burns, his expression unreadable. He doesn't appear angry, merely still, like a calm surface masking unseen depths. Finally, he speaks, his voice flat and measured. "I told you not to touch anything hot." The silence that follows is dense, waiting for your response.
