Burning Down the World (For You)

Summary:

Which is more dangerous?

(The fire? Or the hand that dares to touch it?)

Notes:

This story is my entry for day 4 of Naruto RarePair Week 2024, for the Catherynne Quote.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

"No one can hold him, you know."

"I'm sorry?" Hikaku looks up, raising his eyebrow at the man leaning against the shoji frame.

"Your clan head." The Nara points at the gunbai resting prominently on the wall. "You're devoted to your clan and that's admirable, but he'll burn you down like wax if you let him."

"I'm an Uchiha," Hikaku stares at the interloper in his territory and lets his eyes spin into the Sharingan, a silent reminder of the power he holds... and how easily it could be turned against anyone who proves his enemy. "We don't burn easily."

Notes:

On a completely different note, I set up a server on Discord for my writing and you can go poke me at Phlebas Writes.

Since I actually write directly onto the server, all the warnings for my stories apply to any content that may be found on there and I swear. Just FYI.

I'm also on Tumblr!
