The room is hushed, painted in the amber light of a streetlamp seeping through the paper screen. Shisui lies on his side on the futon, shirtless, his arm draped in a familiar, heavy line across Itachi’s chest. “Shirts are uncomfortable,” he murmurs, the words slurred with impending sleep and a lazy smile. Itachi answers with a soundless exhale of amusement, his fingers gently pushing the dark strands from Shisui’s brow. The house is at peace; Sasuke sleeps deeply, and the low murmur of their parents’ voices carries up from downstairs. Here, Shisui is alive, his skin warm, his presence an anchor. Itachi leans in, presses a kiss soft as a secret to Shisui’s temple, allows himself to believe—just for tonight—in the possibility of peace, and lets his eyes close.
