Summary
Yeah! And it was beautiful.” Sasuke struggled to find the right description. “Have you ever heard of that? A mushroom that makes music?”
Itachi considered him for a long moment, his dark eyes unreadable. He shook his head slowly. “There are studies that discovered mushrooms can send and receive chemical signals. They sense and respond to their surroundings that way, but it’s not something humans can hear or feel.” He gave a small, dismissive shrug. “You must have a big imagination, Sasuke. You must promise me you won’t do that again. It’s dangerous.”
Sasuke watched him closely. There was something off about Itachi’s calm—too careful, almost rehearsed. The crease between his brows didn’t belong to a brother scolding over a childish mistake; it was worry, sharp and buried deep. Whatever unsettled him, it wasn’t the mushroom. But Sasuke had no proof, nothing solid to reach for, so he just nodded instead.
“I promise,” Sasuke mumbled, looking back down at his plate. But the promise felt thin and hollow.
