[A cough jars the feed, starting it up in a careless, long swooping panoramic view of the area. It records at Sasuke's wrist and catches whatever it's facing when he lifts an arm to scrub back through his hair. Bandages trail the edge of the feed. Sasuke's arms are bound from fingers to elbow, both of them, and bleeding through in places from some ( Read more... )

[In response he just sweeps an arm to the side to find the bottle, lifts it, and dangles it half-assedly at the screen. Either shut up, or come join.]

[Just... this sigh. Why did he volunteer for this again?]

Give me fifteen minutes.

Slow-ass.

[He speaks so carefully, each syllable formed before he voices it. He's not going to start slurring his speech like a common drunk. He's an Uchiha, damn it.]

[Yeah, what, like Shikamaru is in a hurry to get puked on by a couple of drunk Uchiha brothers. He understands this reaction to the shitty situation but really it sucks to be the babysitter right now.

He goes extra slow so it's twenty minutes before he finally gets there. Shuffling and dragging his feet. He's got a backpack with him: water bottles, aspirin, and a blanket. Oh he's set to be here for a while.]

...Hey.

Hey.

[They haven't moved from that same spot, in all the time it took Shikamaru to reach them. The house looks like as pathetic in person as it did on screen. Some rubble's been shifted around where Itachi's bedroom used to be, and there's a few discarded pill bottle sand an inhaler in a trash-bag near their bottle.

The bottle's only half empty, but it doesn't take much. He has no idea what the hell it is but it's strong.

Itachi's snoring into his sleeve. He doesn't seem to mind, and shifts only as far as it takes to offer the bottle to their new arrival.]

[Shikamaru looks around briefly... at the wreckage, which makes him think he should have insisted on coming over every day to help them; at Sasuke, who looks like an entirely different person when his guard's down; at Itachi, who makes him smile weakly at some memory.

Back to Sasuke, shaking his head.]

No thanks. It's all yours.

[He shrugs with only one shoulder and slouches back, getting comfortable. Itachi murmurs and clings closer to his arm, which makes him roll his head back and to the side to squint down at the man.

No, still asleep. Good.]

Suit yourself.

[ Even so, the voices make Itachi stir, and he opens his eyes, tensing slightly as he realizes someone is there. He lifts his head, looking at Shikamaru with a quick flick of crimson eyes. ]

Friend of yours, Sasuke?

[He's peering down at the bottle and wondering why it's so empty when Itachi speaks up. A soft grunt;]

Dunno...

[When Itachi wakes, Shikamaru's shoulders immediately stiffen. He pulls his backpack off and sets it at his feet, then bows. It's too formal for this occasion; they're both drunk after all. Nevertheless.]

Not an enemy, at least.

[Itachi isn't surprised by the stiffening, but is surprised by the bow. He shifts and returns it as best he can from his slightly sprawled sitting position, more of a nod than an actual bow.]

I'm glad to hear that... I imagine you know who I am. What's your name?

[It's awkward, standing there in front of them. Like he's some stranger. Well, he is, isn't he? This makes him feel incredibly small.]

Shikamaru... Nara Shikamaru.

Sit down.

[It's Sasuke who breaks the awkward stillness between the three. He stretches and cracks his neck, then gestures at a spot close-by with a not-quite-smirk.]

's fine. Shikamaru was in my class. Supposedly he and I ranked about the same as genin.

[Itachi's eyebrows rise and he smiles a little lop-sidedly.] Any classmate of Sasuke's...Well, if you're not my enemy, that's wonderful.

[Not as pretty a speech as he might have managed on another day, but sincere]

[Shikamaru laughs very quietly under his breath, shaking his head. He drags the backpack over with him when he moves to take a seat. This is weird. It's really weird. He pulls a water bottle out of his bag just to occupy himself, but he keeps glancing at Itachi.]

How long have you two been out here like this?
