Ebony eyes widened at the contact before slowly looking up at Itachi. It was the first time...in a decade that Itachi had comforted him in such a way. Had this been a different time, he would have surely started crying right then. But he didn't. He wasn't going to allow himself such weakness. After first meeting his brother again, he did cry, yes, but that was it. He promised himself afterward that he wouldn't do such a pitiful act again.
