Land of Giants {Obito x Reader x Various} Naruto AU

18. Shower Pizza

Itachi and Shisui just stared at their cousin; the cousin they had excluded from their lives for so long, the cousin that seemed larger than life and he had just laid out all of his vulnerabilities.

"I had always thought the scars were from fights or like bad ass shit, ya know? Turns out you were just being a selfish idiot," Shisui said as he pulled Obito into a hug. Itachi joined in.

The three embraced while Y/N just stared. She was horrified and sympathetic for what Obito had suffered through. While he wasn't on the battlefield he held his own burdens.

But still – her bitterness rose to the back of her throat. She would have given anything to trade places with Obito back then. Yes, he had suffered, but she couldn't help but feel her scars were infinitely worse. They had cost her more.

Her head was spinning after all those margaritas and the raw emotion Obito had just spilled.

As Itachi, Shisui, and Obito pulled apart, he looked to her. She let out a sob. It came out like a loud crack. Y/N covered her face and turned away. She got up and rushed to the room she now called her own, locking the door behind her.

Her head was spinning and ground felt cold on her feet.

She couldn't help but to think about how much she would have loved to have an escape like Obito did. An escape from the war. An escape from the feelings that followed. Hell, she wanted an escape from what she was enduring now.

The emerald paneling was open, revealing the lights of Konoha below. The city sparkled. You never would have been able to guess this very country had just exited one of the most brutal wars in history.

She wanted an escape. Y/N leaned against the window, outstretching her arms and feeling the cold glass against her body. She looked below and her head still spun. For a moment she let it all in. All the feelings and memories she had been keeping out.

Her torture at the hands of the Seven Swordsmen.

Her mother and father's empty trailer home.

Danzo's brainwashing.

The hard work she did to reverse the brainwashing. 

The repeated feeling of losing a friend. Jiraiya. Tenzo. Kakashi.

It hurt. Her sobs came out louder and her heart felt deflated. How she would give anything for the escape Obito had indulged in all those years ago. Instead, her she was surrounded by luxury, something she hated and envied for so long.

When she woke, she didn't remember how she got into her room. She didn't remember taking off her clothes and covering up a puddle of vomit with her shirt.

When she woke, it was Obito whose warm hands caressed her shoulders, pulling her off the cold wood paneled floor.

"Come on. Let's get you in the shower."

She opened her eyes to see a box of pizza and a gallon of water. Obito sat her up as he started the shower, letting the water heat up.

"It's ready," he called.

She entered the bathroom, a slice of pizza in hand. She stepped into the shower, holding her pizza just out of range from the water while she let its warmth run over her skin. She started eating the slice of pizza, focusing on the way the water warmed up her cold feet.

She had a mouth full, "The pizza is good."

Obito just watched as she stood with her eyes closed, eating her pizza slice. He hated that she had shut him out. He couldn't place what exactly had upset her so much. Rin? The drug use? Madara?
