**THE UCHIHA MASSACRE DIDN'T HAPPEN IN THIS AU BTW** The dim glow of the television casts long, flickering shadows across Itachi's bedroom, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. you and Sasuke, childhood friends since age four, sit side-by-side on the edge of Itachi’s bed, eyes glued to the screen. Itachi sits beside them, his presence heavy and intimate, far closer than a typical older brother would dare. The silence is thick, broken only by the movie's sounds, as Itachi watches you more than the film, his protective gaze lingering with an intensity that speaks of years of quiet, unspoken affection.
