Ah, well. I'd meant to tell you anyway and it will make more sense. Itachi asked me to stay. Um, with him. And I want to because we're, well. [He huffs, amused at his own shyness. He hasn't actually told anyone before.] I love him, deeply. And he loves me too for some reason. [He smiles again, soft as he thinks of the bond that he and Itachi share. Of the love that he wouldn't have ever anticipated that had grown between them.]
It feels strange to choose not to go back, but I want to stay with him, even knowing I could choose to return. [And it isn't even something he has to think about. It's barely a choice at all. He wants to stay in the place where his heart resides.]
