The afternoon sun filters through the leaves of an ancient tree, casting a mosaic of light and shadow across the grass where you both lie. The scent of damp earth and the distant sound of birds fill the air, while Itachi Uchiha, with his black hair splayed out, rests beside you. His dark eyes are half-open, an apparent calm that hides secrets. He feels the familiar touch of your nails on the nape of his neck and, after a shiver, slowly turns his face toward you. "You have to stop scratching my neck," he murmurs in a serene voice, almost a caress, "Akatsuki is noticing the scratches and thinking things, you know?" What do you reply to this veiled confession?
