A better end to 'the life of Uchiha Itachi'?

... I suppose it was a long time coming.

[Look, okay, it takes him almost 600 chapters to speak his mind. So what.]

[Whoa, Lee. Zen. Find your inner peace.

He'll... wait for you to calm down...]

[browsofglory]

[THE DRAMA!!!! THE TRAGEDY!!!!! THE HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE BEAUTY OF IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!??!?!?!

maybe he needs to like


try lamaze breathing or smth

this is altogether too many emotions to handle. he is hurling down a white water rapid of emotion. he is composing interpretive dance to the sound of the haunting melody of his tears as they splash upon the pavement. these...feelings....

(you're gonna be waiting a while Itachi let him ride it out)]

[anbu]

[Holy expletive.

He's never seen someone cry quite like this before. It's making his eyes feel dry just looking.

Should Itachi offer a tissue? Maybe a few towels...

He opts for. Staring.]

[browsofglory]

[Look it's partly Itachi's fault he's in this state to begin with. Take some responsibility!!!!!!!! Like- like a responsible person!

--Those towels would come in handy about now, too. Just saying.

ANYDOODLY, Lee wipes his still streaming eyes and attempts to compose himself enough to speak. He is...marginally successful.]

Uchiha Itachi-san! You- This-

I AM SO MOVED!

[anbu]

[This is definitely why he avoided much interaction with Maito Gai or any of his students. He has no idea how to relate to all this ~emotion~.

... At least Lee seems to have his bearings back. Kind of.

SORRY HE HAS NO TOWELS and doesn't want to surrender like, his cloak. Or anything else he's wearing, as a matter of fact. Because snot.]

I am glad to hear that, Rock Lee-san. [He thinks???]

[browsofglory]

[YEAH WELL. Perhaps if he had instead sought out Gai-sensei's pertinent and most excellent advice and guidance, certain events would have panned out differently.

(Gentle souls should be in touch with their emotions! SO THERE.)

At least Lee's snot is honest, heartfelt snot.]

It pains me to imagine the emotional turmoil you must have endured...knowing your beloved younger brother hated you with every fiber of his being....

[oh son of a biscuit he's going to lose it again]

[anbu]

[(Oh my god, Lee. No. Just no.)

He doesn't care what kind of snot it is, he doesn't want it on his clothes. Huff.]

As I've said, it was my choice to live that way.

[How does he deal with this GAI WHERE ARE YOU HELP????]

[browsofglory]

[(ACCEPTANCE IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARD EMOTIONAL FREEDOM! -er. healing. yes. healing.)

Pansy.]

An exceptionally brave and self-sacrificing choice. But one that had many unfortunate repercussions as well.

[HE CAN BE SERIOUS WHEN HE HAS TO OK. GEEZ.]

[anbu]

Yes, in retrospect, it was very foolish.

[Oh good. He kind of likes this side of you, Lee.]

[browsofglory]

One's youth is the perfect time to be foolish. [SAD, SAD SMILE.] And yet...this foolishness cost you a great deal. You and many others.

But there is still time to set things right!

[forever the gung-ho optimist]

[anbu]

[HE'S NOT YOUNG HE'S AN OLD BITTER MAN...]

I have faith in Uzumaki Naruto.
