Who: Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke
When: Shortly after the earthquake, June 8th
Where: Uchiha's Paradise I mean, Residence
Summary: Their house was never that secure, and they live close enough to the epicentre of the earthquake that it suffered quite a bit of damage. Also, it's Itachi's birthday. Hiatus, what hiatus
Warnings: None.
The house had always been a fixer-upper. That much had always been understood when Itachi bought it - after all, they hadn't had much money, and fewer needs. Itachi hadn't wanted to rent and be beholden to a landlord, so he'd bought, but he hadn't been able to afford much.
And now what he had been able to afford sagged alarmingly in one corner, the wall buckled completely and the foundation cracked. A fire had broken out in the kitchen, and that whole side of the house was now blackened and treacherous. Itachi had experienced earthquakes before, and this had been a bad one. He'd never lost a home to one before, temporary as this home was.
He stood out in the front garden, surveying the damage, wondering if it was worth trying to repair, or if the whole house should be knocked down and something more his and Sasuke's style built in its place. It would be a project, certainly, but doable with all of the wood available in the nearby forest. Perhaps.
