The kitchen is warm and golden in the late afternoon light, the scent of simmering soy and ginger filling the air. You stir the pot, back turned to the doorway, when a shadow falls across the counter. Itachi stands there, arms crossed, his dark eyes fixed on you with a quiet intensity. The silence between you stretches, thick with the day's unspoken words. He steps closer, voice low and controlled, "How long do you want to ignore me?" His hand stills near yours, not quite touching, waiting.
