(Sasuke X Reader) The Eyes That Capture

Chapter 69

"Are you okay, (name)?"

The black haired guy enters the room with a concerned look on his face.

He heard the argument, no doubt about it.

"Since when are you there, itachi-san?"

You ask him as you wipe the tears on your cheeks.

He makes his way towards you and gives a small handkerchief.

"From the beginning."

You startle when you hear his answer.

So he really heard everything...?

"I saw both of you got into the room just now and i was curious, so i came here. I'm sorry, i didn't mean to eavesdrop but... I just happen to hear everything."

You take the handkerchief he's offering you and wipe the remaining teardrops on your eyes.

"It's okay..."

You say, but you're still unable to look at him. It's embarassing, given that he heard everything just now.

Itachi just look at you with concern.

"I'm sorry, (name), that you have to go through this, but it is not your fault. It is wrong from the beginning that you got involved with an uchiha. Sasuke knows what will happen if he got involved with any girls, that's why he always avoided them. But in your case, he just stopped thinking. Or maybe, he doesn't want to think at all."

You frown at his statement.

"What do you mean by that...?"

Itachi sighs.

"Are you really ready to listen to the gruesome story of sasuke uchiha, (name)?"

You stay silent for a while.

Your head is spinning. You're confused. But no matter how, you want to know.

You take a deep, deep breath and look at itachi.

"I am."

At your answer, itachi takes a seat on a chair in the middle of the room, and starts his story.

"There was once a kid, named sasuke uchiha. A very kind kid. Very innocent and cheerful. Everyone adores him no matter where he goes. He was very close with his brother, and always looked up to him. He didn't have a good relationship with his father, but that didn't matter. He was close with his sister and mother. And also his grandmother."

You simply listen to the story.

It is weird. It's like he is talking about someone else.

"Sasuke was very close to his grandmother. She was a kind person, just like him and that made them much closer than ever. Even our grandfather was jealous of their closeness. But then, a certain incident took place and ruined everything. All the happiness vanished in that instant."

You listen carefully to what he has to say.

"One day when he was 9 years old, sasuke was kidnapped along with his grandmother."

The word 'kidnap' causes you to startle.

How come you never know about this?!

"The criminal's plan was to actually kidnap sasuke alone because they wanted to ask for money from us, but my grandmother saw them. That's why they took her as well. Both of them were locked up for more than two days in a small cottage near the mountains. It took some time for the police to find them because it was far. That's why they had to be in there for so long."
