I know you're nervous, but it's time to run an stop wondering how hard you'll fall!

Besides, a challenge is always fun. If you fail spectacularly, at least you'll do better next time you try, and you know you like the challenge. That's why we'd be a good fit.

Also, do you really think my baby cousin should be allowed to run loose like that? Someone needs to at least make an attempt to keep him in better shape.

Fuck the clan. I should have found something better for you.

[The sad thing is, Shisui's worried if faced with that choice, he'd make the same one. Save the most people possible, not the best or the most important to you. Still, he regrets his future self's decision and he doesn't understand it.]

So I killed myself and let them use you. I don't want to think that was my only option. Hell, Itachi, we were--are--whatever verb you want, we were geniuses. We were something special.

Why couldn't we find a happier ending?

[And he thinks he knows why. They couldn't see it, but it makes him mad to think that they couldn't change anything about their fates and how things ended up. He doesn't understand it still. There had to be a better way.]

[That shouldn't take him back-- but he'd schooled himself into believing that what they had done was for the best. That there were no other options, so hearing it from the very person whose idea the whole thing was.]

Madara's will was too deeply rooted in the clan.

Don't think I haven't wondered if there were other ways to make the tension ease. What's done is done. We... have to live with the consequences.

But I haven't done it yet.

[Then Shisui laughs.]

But I didn't live with the consequences of my actions, I died and left you to do with that. I get the clan needed to be dealt with, but why did I chose to put your through killing me?

I just don't get it. Why didn't I try to help you?

Not for you.

[Because back home-- he's living with the fact that he didn't protest, living with the fact that they maybe could have thought up something else. Trying desperately to make the rest of their clan believe that he hadn't murdered Shisui. Privately practising with his new Mangekyou.]

I don't know, Shisui.

You know, for two geniuses, we're pretty damned stupid, aren't we?

[Shisui smiles weakly.]

You know I'm sorry for doing that to you, right?

[He's just not going to respond, because it's true, and as much as that weak smile warrants something of his own, whatever he manages just comes out as a sort of grimace.]

I know.

[and he missed you too. Missed you so much.]

Are you staying around?

{Shisui manages a slightly better smile.]

Where else am I going to go? I'm a dead man probably doomed to obscurity, because the only Uchiha anyone's going to talk about's going to be you.

I guess staying around is one of my better options...

[That's a good look for you, Shisui. He likes that smile. Always has.]

I don't want any of that.

[Just having you around again would be nice... and you know, peace between the clan and Konoha.]

It would be nice to spend some time...

[Shisui wrinkles his nose.]

Our lives seem to revolve around what we don't want, Itachi. I'm just saying that's how it looks like it'll go.

A sort of wistful smile. Shisui can think of many things it would be nice to spend time doing.]

Some time pretending our lives aren't going to hell in a flaming handbasket? I'd settle for some tea by the river...and dango. Maybe. If here's good company.

Mn. Not that it matters. [He'll be dead after all. Perhaps for Sasuke-- he has no idea about Sasuke's attitude toward the Leaf.]

My mun says there are memes... and she has a musebox.

If you were interested? Dango sounds good.

You offered. Do you think I could not be interested?

[Shisui's back to grinning like his face might split.]

I think I can pester my mun into letting me out to play.

[He'll just be over here, smiling to himself. Trying not to let you see that there.]

Mn. I would very much like that.

Although-- Some of these memes are a little. Unsavoury?

[Look, look! Over there! And ITACHI SMILE. If Shisui were any more excited, he might explode.]

Itachi, we ended our friendship with you drowning me in our river. How more unsavory can you get?

[Shut up. :|

No, seriously.]

Have you seen these memes?

[Nope, just be glad he isn't close enough to pinch those cheeks.]

Not at all. They can't be that bad.

[That won't be necessary.]

Perhaps you should try typing in 'bakerstreet' and 'dreamwidth'.

See what happens.

Why? Are you trying to make me back out of agreeing to play in one of these things with you?

[Shisui grins.]

Well, it's too late. You invited me and now you're stuck with me. You can't scare me off that easily.

No. That's not--

[Oh stop that.]

I was referring to the unsavoury 'memes'.

It sounds like excuses to me~

[Shisui looks just shy of cackling.]

Shame, you'll make me think you don't love me, Itachi...

Oh shut up.

[Because quite frankly, he's losing patience with you!

Well, not really because-- you're Shisui, but all the same.]

Don't speak so lightly of these things.

[Shisui does as told, placing a hand over his mouth just in case the sudden lack of chatter isn't noticeable enough.]

[He doesn't know how he puts up with you.

NOT going to smile, and just going to-- reach up and pull that hand away instead.]

You're not funny.

[Shisui lets his hand be pulled away and grabs for Itachi's wrist.]

I am the soul of sobriety.

The essence of all things humorless and dry. Never does anything witty or tactlessly silly pass my lips.

[Shisui grins.]

Oh, no, wait, that's YOU.

[His eyes fall to stare at the hand around his wrist, unable to bring himself to do anything about it. He'll just stare instead.

At least until there's that comment, which warrants a stare.]

So kind.

True friends tell you the truth. Maybe if you'd smile, you could call me a liar and I'd deserve that stare, but for now...

[Shisui tugs Itachi's wrist.]

I'll just make it my quest to find something that will make you smile.
