[ Itachi sees something he scarcely remembers. Sasuke sees something he could've never imagined.
His brother bows his head for a moment as shoulders hike higher and then drop, knowing full well what the waves of emotion feel like in himself but to see them reflected in Itachi makes him freeze up. His eyes widen for a moment, expression caught in a strange mixture of unease and conflict as he processes what he's seeing. His brother is human, just like he is. For years it had become too easy to see him as something greater, more impervious.
The hitch in his voice is like a crack in Sasuke's own chest, realizing just as quickly that any attempt on his own part to speak will result in a clenched throat and rebellious tongue. He takes a moment, breathes, collects himself. ]
