I wonder if there is a time limit to how long we'll stay here. Rather than wanting to go home, I'm finding myself more afraid that I will. If this place is fixed, I'll forget everything, at best, at worst I'll come back d- ... with nothing ( Read more... )

insomnia, this is how it ends, depressing himself, uchiha itachi, it's the fever talking

Al...

[His voice is slightly shaky now, torn between simply being upset and frustrated, concern, and plain old pissed off at Itachi.]

[Sasuke doesn't really know what to say. He hates Itachi, so he can't comfort him.]

I... I'm sorry.

[The sound chokes off into silence, stretching out until the heavy air seems to thrum like a tightly wound string, about to snap.

Then, there is a soft mewing noise, and the sound of rustling fabric -- oddly silken, not the type of fabric Al usually wears.]

The kitten we gave him for Christmas.

And his coat.

He left them here.

... where they'd be safe.

Wha...

Why would...

[Voice] bloodseal_soul June 20 2009, 08:01:46 UTC
... because he was lying, to protect me.

I knew it. I knew it all along, this only confirms it... that stupid jerk.

He always lies, but...

...what happened?

After Madara showed up, he turned on me. Nobody else realized it, nobody else believed me, but he was doing it to protect me. If Madara had found out that Itachi cared about someone, anyone, he'd have a hostage at best, a toy and a tool to make Itachi hurt...

Itachi went so far as to physically attack me where other people could see, to turn people against him. He claimed he'd been using me.

I never believed him, but I backed off anyway, because I realized why he was doing it, and until now, I've kept it hidden, most of it even from him a-and now I...

H-he went without even knowing how much I...

[Sasuke's silent for a while. A good while. This isn't the Itachi that he knows. The only reason he knew Itachi to lie was to deceive, to gain power.

But Itachi's gone now, so there's no way to confirm anything.]

I...

[You've stumped him good, Al.]

I don't care if you don't believe me. No one does but one person... and that person would have sooner seen him dead than helped me save him, even believing every word.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Even if he comes back, he'll be like you, he'll never remember me. It'll never be like it was.

I failed.

You...

You didn't fail.

[Al covers his face, giving a soft, humorless laugh. It sounds oddly painful.]

How do you figure?

...I might not be the Sasuke you fell in love with, but I'm still here, aren't I?

Yes, and walking into something I can't save you from.
