[Sydney's been taught/brainwashed from a young age that supernatural creatures are evil and unnatural. Of course she has to fall in love with one.]

[If he remains canon, he can be a prince or a king, but I can AU him to fit most things. Can leave him younger or make him older. Fine with Twisted scenes. Check journal for a brief canon history.]

Back when they'd been younger there had been nothing standing in their paths. Not really, or perhaps he'd just found it easier to believe that a relationship with Shisui would only ever be fun, innocent, fleeting and maybe just easy. For a while.

Instead, here they were. Four years later, with ever growing responsibilities, changing perceptions of the world, facing the scrutiny of a huge number of the Uchiha clan. Their friendship had been talk of the clan for years, a couple of kids who would quite possibly be the most formidable of their generation and maybe even further back. Always together, working together, laughing together, studying, fighting, training.

Things were different now. Questions, constantly. Why did they spend so much time together? They were almost adults, surely they should be showing an interest in girls? Which one of them would find love first? Shisui surely, he was older. It had driven Itachi crazy to hear the murmurs when people thought he wasn't listened, and it hurt even more to see Sasuke being judged for his relationship with Naruto.

He'd gone off on a mission by himself, despite Yondaime's protests. It was too soon from his last mission, didn't he want to take Shisui with him, and that little grin...? He'd left though - and decided to stay out for another night before his return. The forests in the outskirts of Konoha were peaceful, and familiar to him. He wanted to give himself some time to think, to deliberate, to focus on his relationship he supposed.

While Itachi focused on he whispers, on the questions, on the judgement, Shisui ignored it. More was said about him, being older, being marrying age now and even past it, but he didn't care. He fielded questions constantly, a barrage of snakes searching for information. They asked him if he had been on dates, and he didn't lie, but he was endlessly vague, hopelessly shadowy on the topic; he was the master of steering the conversation away to something else before anyone knew what had happened. He knew he couldn't do this forever, but for now, for now it would work.

But soon, they would push him to take a wife. And as the only child and heir to the kotoamatsukami, it was his duty to do that, even if he didn't want to. It wasn't something he talked about often, more of a passing phrase here and there, but when he was alone, or during the supportive dinners between his parents and himself, his mind tended to wander to darker territory.

When he was told not to go on the mission with Itachi, there had been a pang of...something, there. An undercurrent of feelings that he hadn't been expecting. Something was wrong, wrong with his partner, but he wasn't even here to ask.

But he felt his chakra the night he returned, and suiting up, he slipped out of the gates and hunted him down. There were no spying eyes out here, no listening ears; they would have time to themselves, to be themselves.

He flickered in next to Itachi, sitting beside him calmly. There was a moment of silence before he quietly asked, "Mission go well?"

Itachi should have known he wouldn't be alone for very long this close to the village, and maybe subconsciously that had been his intention. To be able to talk with Shisui one on one, to iron out the feelings, thoughts and nightmares that plagued him constantly. To break up with him? Could this thing they had even be broken, he didn't know. It didn't feel like a bond that suffered any snags or tears, no stretching, lagging or bending.

He'd been sat up in his tent when Shisui arrived by his side, but all he managed was a slow turn of his head to look at his partner, and the very slight curvature of his mouth into something that resembled a smile. "Yes."

He worked well in teams, but on missions like this, he tended to be lethal. Precise, quick, thorough. If only that extended to his relationship with Shisui, this whole thing would be far easier to conclude. For now, they would sit. Talk, perhaps? Definitely.

"I needed some time to think."

The idea that it could be ending never crossed his mind; why would it when they never fought, never even got angry with one another? When they were best friends as well as sufficient lovers? And that wasn't a turn of phrase; Shisui did indeed love Itachi. Strong, capable, intelligent, attractive, everything about Itachi made it easy to love him and Shisui didn't have a chance.

No one ever would.

"What is it?" Think. Think without talking to Shisui first. That raised a little warning bell, but he smothered it effectively. There was no point in jumping to conclusions, and he would never assume the worst of his trusted companion.

One hand reached out, resting on the other's arm softly. "Were people talking about your brother and Naruto again?"

Itachi would have been incredibly content to stay with Shisui at his side for the rest of his life. They balanced one another out, never argued, Shisui made him laugh, made him think, made him happy. Itachi was deeply in love with him, and he didn't know how to stop.

His eyes drifted up slowly to the hand on his arm, and he reached out without thinking, settling his own hand over his lover's, thumb gently slipping under his palm to try and hold rather than just rest there.

"Shisui." He muttered quietly, finally looking up at him properly, studying the look on his face, struggling not to get lost looking in those eyes. A frown usually helped, but even tonight it was too hard to distract himself. This mess of emotions. The easiest way would be to lie, wouldn't it?

"I..." He had to look away, and not even closing his eyes would rid him of the image of Shisui expression. Concern, worry, fear, rejection, hurt, frustration, anger. "I would like us just to be friends."

Foolishly, he almost said, What are you talking about? We're already friends. but then the "just" sunk in. Was Itachi--Was he breaking it off with him? Ending their relationship of years and years? Was he--

He almost laughed, as if it was a joke, but Itachi wouldn't be so cruel. Not to him, not to anyone. His eyes flickered to the hand, before finding Itachi's face. This wasn't the look of someone who wanted to do this; this was the look of someone in pain, of someone suffering.

"Why?" Because there had to be a reason. Something he had done. Some way he had hurt him. Something. Or--

"Is someone forcing you?" He reached out and cupped his boyfr--his ex's chin, trying to force him to look over at him. Not in the eye, no, because that was only for good days with Uchiha, but just...look at him. "I have a right to know."

Itachi was quick to sigh over Shisui's pressing questions, his own eyes struggling to capture and catalogue the look on his friend's face. It wasn't something he could stop himself doing once Shisui had a hold of his face, but he didn't pull away - rather decided, quite pointedly, to stare him right in the eyes.

If they couldn't trust one another with that, there would be no hope for them, as friends or otherwise.

"You are the last of your specific line. I am the eldest son to the head of the family." He said, so plainly as if he were stating facts about the trees or the sky or the animals around them. "We are expected to marry women, produce heirs..." It hurt, just to think about the notion, but it had hurt just the same every other time he'd considered it before now.

If Itachi wanted to see the look, he could. It was there in all its glory: surprised, wounded, hurt. The source wasn't just Itachi either, but every person who had a hand in this, who wanted this, who filled their lives with these notions about duty and honor rather than love.

Love. Where did love fit in any of this?

Itachi looked him in the eye, and Shisui hesitated before meeting his gaze. Hands dropped their hold on the other's face, but he wasn't sure what to think. Marry women. Produce heirs. He wanted children, but there were a ton of orphans here in the village. Why couldn't they adopt?

"So, give away our lives, our happiness because someone else has decreed what we should do with our existence?" he asked. "You make me happy. You love me; I know you do. And you know that I love you in return. Doesn't that matter?"

It hurt to see Shisui looking like he did, and knowing that he'd but those expressions on his face, knowing that his feelings, his thoughts, his decisions were what had put all that hurt there, and further - he was sure Shisui was feeling it hard.

He had to look away once Shisui had begun to speak up about his feelings on the matter. Itachi knew, he knew that they were meant to be together. He could feel it in every part of his being, he frequently felt a yearning for Shisui when they'd spent time apart, felt it in every inch of him.

"I could do it." He whispered softly, after only a few moments pause, unable to look Shisui in the eyes. "I could pretend. I would do it." He muttered, unsure what point he was trying to make. Even if he convinced himself that lying, to himself, to Shisui, to the clan, wasn't what was best for everyone involved - he knew that by tomorrow these thoughts would return. Maybe they would plague him every day for the rest of his life.

"And just because you can do it, does it mean you have to?" Because both of them could pretend. Both of them. They were shinobi; of course they could lie for their entire lifetimes if that's what was required. But they did that as their job; did they have to do that in every aspect of their existence? They shouldn't. They shouldn't have to, dammit!

Itachi couldn't even look at him. He watched him turn away, watched him find something else interesting to look at, which told him that he didn't like seeing Shisui hurt. This helped no one. This served no purpose. This did nothing.

It did nothing, at least, but make them both suffer.

"As shinobi, our lives can end at any moment," he said quietly. "Tonight. Tomorrow. Next week. Who's to say that we would even find a woman and pass down our line in that time? And then what do we have to show for it, but a few miserable months before we die?

"Life is precious, Itachi. It is the greatest gift that we can give to one another, or to our clan or our village. Don't squander it because of what a few people mutter about."

Itachi had hoped that he could be stronger through this conversation. He'd assumed that he would be able to do the very thing he excelled at. Lying to Shisui however, lying about his feelings and thoughts was actually... impossible. Loving Shisui had been kept a secret for this long, being in love with him was something he had only admitted to Shisui. Each and every other member of their clan could have questioned him about the nature of their relationship and he wouldn't struggle to keep a lid on the truth.

Why he'd thought it would work on the very man he'd given up his heart to, he didn't know.

Eventually, he lifted his head to be able to look Shisui in the eye, watching him quietly as he listened and tried to take the words to heart.

"I'm tired of the comments." He muttered finally, trying to keep his focus on his... friend? "I'm tired of stolen moments, of glances, of waiting to be together, or keeping secrets, lying."

Was Itachi tired of lying for his own sake or for Shisui's? Was he trying to spare Shisui from the rumors whispered behind hands as they walked through the streets together, or was he tired of the way eyes followed them as they moved? Or, maybe he was trying to spare Sasuke the burden of a brother in his same boat when his own relationship was so highly scrutinized.

"Then we stop lying."

Words sounded simple when he said them, even though Shisui knew they wouldn't be. Stop lying. Come clean. Fugaku probably wouldn't stand for it, and his own parents would be worried, upset. Would they try to arrange a marriage against their will for "the betterment of the clan"? Would they forbid them to see each other? Would they arrange for a mission with low survival rates just to free the other from the relationship?

But, Shisui didn't care. He would weather all of that for his friend.

"Do you want to tell my parents or yours first?"

What?

He couldn't help but stare at Shisui for a while, hearing those words repeat in his own head as if trying to work out what Shisui meant exactly but his intentions were obvious. To tell their parents of their relationship was to share it with the world. He wanted nothing more than to live out in the open, with Shisui - to kiss and laugh together, love one another openly as if it were the most natural thing in the world because it was.

"... Are you insane?" He muttered finally, frowning as he watched for any hint of indecision in that face. Shisui was all for being honest, he knew that, but they'd talked about this many times before now. This wasn't something that they could do, was it?

"They'll stop us being together at all! We'll never be assigned the same missions, we'll never be able to see one another, let alone get time to... be together." He added, aware that Shisui would pick up on all the things he meant by that.

"Like we're going to have all of those things by you ending it tonight?" Because if Itachi ended it, here would be no being together. There would be none of the intimacy they had grown accustomed to. There would be none of this, of these stolen moments together. They would be locked in relationships with other people, and it would mean the end of everything.

So yes, yes, maybe he was insane, but he wasn't stupid. He knew. He knew what he was asking for, knew what he was requesting, knew every danger that his actions were causing him. He knew that as the son of the clan's leader, Itachi was far safer than he ever was when this came out, kotoamatsukami or not. He knew.

"What is it you want, Itachi?" he asked quietly, looking away. "Because my eyes see a lot of things, but they can't see down as deep as you go."

Shisui had a point of course, and in his haste to come to the 'right' conclusion he'd seen well past the things that mattered, the truth in it all, the surface of the world around them. They both knew that nothing wonderful would come of being honest with their parents - nothing on the outside, but knowing that they had one another, out in the open, not in the shadows, hiding, uncertain, waiting to be caught out.

Shisui seemed to have a way with words though, and they spoke right into the spaces in his mind that had emptied themselves of truth. It was true, he knew - that he didn't see things the same way as Shisui did quite frequently. Shisui would try, constantly to understand him in just the same way Itachi fought to understand the complexities of a friend he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

What did he want? What should he want? A life of unhappiness for the sake of the clan seemed like a life sentence. He wouldn't stop being Uchiha Itachi, he wouldn't stop being strong willed and certain enough to lead them. He knew that there were benefits to being who he was, to having the bond he shared with the Hokage. He knew he could make a difference, and perhaps he'd feared that with this news out in the open he would be putting the peace he knew he could finally bring to Konoha at risk.

But if he were to die tomorrow what would it have been for? No one would know his devotion to Shisui, no one would know his story, no one would know his love for both the village and the clan. He would have spent his last night alive breaking up with the one thing he knew would follow him no matter which path he decided to tread. The person that had made him who he was, the person he loved even more than his own dear brother, and that-- that should have been enough to warn him of how wrong it would be to not have this.

What did he want? He wanted peace in Konoha, peace within the clan, he wanted a future for Sasuke where he didn't have to plot and plan and presume that the friends he held most dear to him were the same friends who might turn against him. He wanted Shisui, by his side. He wanted Shisui. In his heart, past the complexities of life and living. If he were given another chance, another mother and father in another village with no strings, no ties, no need to fight for hope, no need to fight... he would want Shisui and no one else.

Rather than say anything though, he knelt forward, reaching a hand out to Shisui's face, cupping his cheek and turning him to look his way. Pressing him into a kiss was the most natural thing to him now, after years of being with his soulmate, he knew these moments well enough to fall into it.
