He was quiet for a moment. "I don't blame her for it. She just... scared me, and I can't understand how."

From:

mooneye

Obito thought back on seeing Rin die. That moment of absolute pain. "Of course she scared you," he said, like it was simple. Then, more thoughtfully. "Do you think about it a lot?"

From:

youngesthokage

"No. I tend to not think about it at all, actually. Not unless she's gotten Sasuke to pester me into seeing her for dinner."

From:

mooneye

"You might think about it," he suggested, slowly. "If you want to understand."

From:

youngesthokage

"I am aware of that. It... Not now. Just... I need to tell Sasuke about these things, eventually. He was unconscious the night of the purge and we... never told him about the reality of how things happened."

From:

mooneye

"You don't have to," he murmured. "Some things do well as secrets."

From:

youngesthokage

"No. It's not a have to, it's a need to. I just... Not yet." It was a murmur, and he paused, closing his eyes. "Things won't... can't resolve until he knows."

From:

mooneye

"Well." Obito nodded his understanding. Though if it was up to him, he thought, he wouldn't bother revealing the whole truth to the kid. Sometimes people were better off left unaware of such things. "I'm here now, too. I'll help if I can."

From:

youngesthokage

He was quiet for a moment. "It's not one of those things I think you can help with." He looked back to him. "But you can give me a foot rub, that would be immensely good."

From:

mooneye

That made him laugh. "I happen to be excellent at rubbing things."

From:

youngesthokage

He snorted softly. "Your phrasing almost makes me worry for my virtue Obito-nii." It was a murmur, and he flashed a tiny smirk.

From:

mooneye

Obito smirked back at him. "Yeah, well, maybe if I didn't have Hoshigaki Kisame to worry about. As it is, I promise you that this foot rub will leave your virtue mostly intact."

From:

youngesthokage

He blinked a couple times, honestly surprised by the reaction, which got a wide eyed look from him before he hummed lowly. "Only mostly? I see."

From:

mooneye

Obito was sort of a wild animal. Not shy, or prude. In fact, very much the opposite. He laughed, a raspy, joyful sound. "Of course if you wanted a backrub, well." He turned to Itachi slyly, raising his eyebrows up and down.

From:

youngesthokage

He flushed brilliantly at that, genuinely having no idea how to react as he looked away from him, though a small smile was on his lips.

From:

mooneye

Obito watched him with a new kind of attention, interested in how he reacted. That little smile. But he was grinning himself. Very relaxed, really just enjoying the teasing and the game of this. He reached out to brush Itachi's hair with his fingertips, very lightly. "You're cute like this," he said, repeating his words from before.

From:

youngesthokage

He peeked sideways at him at the touch, finding himself unable to come up with anything to say in reaction to the compliment. Still, neither the smile nor flush left him and he didn't shake off the contact.

From:

mooneye

That was nice. He really was lovely, Obito thought. Slender and pale, soot-black hair, every inch of him Uchiha.

He stepped back though, breathing in deep. The air was cold and clean and felt good in his lungs. "So what about that safehouse? Or do you want to take the road back to the village? You'll have to lead, either way. I don't remember where anything is around here."

From:

youngesthokage

He shook his ponytail back from where it had been resting over his shoulder and hummed. "House. I want to extend my time away from my ANBU. They've been smothering me since Kisame left." He shook his head, starting on a path to the nearest one.

From:

"I'll send a hawk with a message or something to Tsunade so they don't freak out too badly." He was good at summoning birds. Madara had liked raptors, and taught him how to call them, to make pacts with them, to stand with his arm steady and their sharp talons biting into his wrist as he fed them or spoke to them.

Obito fell into step behind Itachi, meandering easily along as they entered the denser woods.

From:

youngesthokage

"No no, I'll send one of my crows around to leave a note." He pondered a moment. "My ANBU will find it eventually."

From:

mooneye

Obito snorted, amused at that. "Fine. Let them know you're safe as can be."

From:

youngesthokage

"Well, usually when I leave on my monthly trips I leave a note saying I've left and wasn't kidnapped. I understand it's become a hazing ritual for my ANBU to make sure the newest recruits are on duty when I do that..."
