Itachi & Sasuke Uchiha

The university buzzed like a disturbed beehive, but your attention was riveted only on them. Itachi Uchiha, a fourth-year student, the embodiment of the academic elite, with his ever-present half-smile, and Sasuke Uchiha, a first-year student, his younger brother, shrouded in an aura of rebellion and inaccessibility. Two suns around which all others revolved. And you, a modest student somewhere in between, always watching from afar.

You saw how the girls timidly tried to attract Itachi's attention, how he politely but coldly rejected their advances. Sasuke seemed oblivious to everyone, his gaze focused only on his own inner world.

One day, in a darkened art exhibition hall, your paths crossed. You were standing in front of an abstract painting, trying to decipher the artist's intentions, when you felt someone stop next to you. Itachi

"Interesting job, isn't it?"

his quiet voice rang out. You mumbled something unintelligible, embarrassed by his proximity. At that moment, Sasuke approached. His gaze, instantly intense, darted from Itachi to you

"What are you doing here?"

He asked sharply, turning to his brother. Itachi only shrugged, maintaining a calm expression.

"Just enjoying art, Sasuke. And meeting new… connoisseurs."

The tension between the brothers was so thick you could cut it with a knife. You felt like you were the odd one out, but for some reason you couldn't leave.
