Obito ran one hand down Itachi's back and then back up, clutching him like a drowning man might a piece of lifesaving flotsam. Then he laughed unsteadily and pulled back, pausing to take the younger Uchiha's head in his hands and press their foreheads together before he took a step away.
He was raw, for a moment. The pain, the sorrow, the deadly strangeness and danger of him all visible before he restrained himself once more. "I'm not all whole, Itachi. Not just on the outside but my mind, too. That's why..." he trailed off, not sure if he was doing a very good job explaining anything. "Well, that's why. Usually it's fine but... I have lapses."
