20 ways Itachi and Max aren't a couple
Or 20 ways they could be. I don't own either storyline or the format.
1. They've never met.
(Never. But sometimes they wake up from a particularly vivid dream, and wonder)
2. They've never thought about each other.
(She always tries to chase the imaginary boy out of her head. He can't even wish she was gone)
3. They've never talked.
(She knows he's a prodigy, he knows she has wings. They don't need to talk, they just know.)
4. They don't know each other's names.
(Why would they want to know the name of someone who exists only in their dreams?)
5. They don't know anything about each other.
(Do they? After the Uchiha Massacre, she wonders.)
6. They have nothing in common.
(Sometimes, they think this, until Itachi rants about his baby brother, and she gloats about her flock.)
7. She would hate him because he's evil.
(On the contrary, she's the first one to forgive him. He's the last one to forgive himself.)
8. He wouldn't even bother with her.
( That is, if she didn't remind him of the friend he didn't have 'till it was too late)
9. She has a soulmate.
(But she wonders if she would have ever loved Fang if he didn't remind her of Itachi)
10. They've never seen each other.
(But how is it that they each know exactly what the other looks like?)
11. They've never had a crush on each other.
(That's what she tries to convince herself)
12. They've never fallen in love with each other.
(He has more trouble than she does convincing himself of this.)
13. They've never touched.
(Not physically)
14. They've never held hands.
(But sometimes, he wakes up, and wonders whether the warmth in his palms is from the blankets, or something else)
15. They've never hugged.
(When she wakes up and feels the warmth around her shoulders, she dismisses it as extra warmth from the fire. Most of the time.)
16. They've never kissed.
(When she wakes up, the day before he tells his little brother goodbye, she sincerely hopes she imagined that last part.)
17. They've never gone on a date.
(Where could he take her inside his own mind?)
18. They've never even thought about getting engaged.
(Can you get engaged to a figment of your imagination?)
19. They've never introduced each other to their families.
(But they know what they're like, all the same.)
20. They don't even know the other exists.
( At least, not until the fateful day when the Shinigami decides to give him another chance. In her world.)
