I haven't left the room since he departed for his mission, however many days ago it was. I don't like being here, in his organization's hideaway. It frightens me; it's too quiet, and it's too dark. I hate being alone in this place.
I hear the door creak open. I feel his presence wash over me. I'm not alone anymore.
He sheds his cloak and climbs into bed next to me. Neither of us says a word as he encircles me in his arms. I could say he did so tenderly, but he and I both know he isn't capable of such emotion.
I bury my face in his chest and will tears to finally come, but they don't. I close my eyes and lift my head. His lips press against mine and he tangles his hands in my hair. I twist my hands in his shirt and pull him closer. I hate it—I despise it—but I need him.
But…you…still…love…Sasuke! I scream inside my head as I moan Itachi's name.
I half wish I could believe myself. The problem is that I know too well that I am lying.
