He’d probably noticed she was up to something, but every mission proved a good time to practice. Unknowingly she had won the hearts of some of the children, in return they gave her honest critiques of the treat. This time, it was his turn. “I haven’t used a mold yet so, they all broke,” they where supposed to be chocolate shaped like sea shells. “If you don’t like it, it’s fine.” It was easier to give to kids than her own husband.

They are a bit lumpy. Some are cracked, but they still have a distinct shine that tells him they’re edible, at least. 

It’s a nice gesture, if an odd one, making chocolates for someone you were already married to. 

“You do have access to clan funds.” He reminds her, as he picks one up, holding it between his thumb and index finger, his inspection pointless as he pops it into his mouth before it can melt to his fingertips.

It is tasty despite the appearance. 

“But something does not have to look good, to be good.” A life lesson. 

“Because I can’t makes chocolates. And store bought ones sound cheap.” She takes one of the chocolates, holding it out for his permission before she takes a bite out of it. “I’d probably poison you by mistake, and then what would you think of me?”

“I’ll be sure to have your name written on my headstone.” So the world would know he’d been killed by Anko’s confectioneries. He’s not against sharing, however. If he tried to eat them all by himself he’d cause severe intestinal distress. 

A few more won’t hurt.

She’s feeling particularly cheerful and friendly today, so she takes an obviously scoot in his direction. Not quite in his personal bubble (because she has learned he does in fact have one), but enough that it’s obvious what her intent is. “So,” she says, bumping her knee against his. “It’s been awhile. Tell me what I’ve missed.”

He pops a piece of chocolate in his mouth– it’s thick and savory, clearly made with skill and dedication.

The box is laid out before him, hand-crafted as well, ribbon folded neatly by its side.

“Missions, as well as six gifts of various chocolates.” Barely anyone outside of Itachi’s barely existing circle was aware he was with or back together with Anko, and just this once, Itachi took the plunge and accepted gifts from blushing civilian girls.

There truly was no harm in it, and he could indulge in sweets.

“How come you do not make me chocolates.” A question with no real answer, as it’s not an expectation nor a demand.

(He awaits the inevitable elbow to his rib.)

That X one about groups because I’m on mobile and can’t use that shape.

Questions for the Mun

✘ People come in a group. If I were to look on your blog, who would I see you interacting with the most?

[[ God, that depends on time spent following me and who I’m most active with– groups come and go, but I’d say…as of right now…

@rexcrystallis || @damnedflame || @uminosclassroom || @shadows-of-shimura || @yxtsukado and if everything goes right I’ll hopefully be writing with @amaryllis-drifts a lot more.

Honestly I’d put a lot more people on here. I want to be writing with people I like consistently, but you know, life happens. I’ll never force a partner, and I can’t force myself either sometimes. And just because we currently aren’t writing doesn’t mean we aren’t friends anymore. Anyone who wrote with me in the past or wants to write more is more than welcome to hit me up for something. ]]

Questions for the Mun

♢ What’s an AU that you think just won’t work with your muse?

[[I’m terrible with crossovers. So bad at them. I just…can’t ever place Itachi outside his native universe. Modern is one thing, fitting him into a regular modern setting is fine, and I can be creative with that too. But a crossover? Unless the other character is crossing into Itachi’s home universe, I can’t work it out. I’ve tried DBZ, HINABN, Pokemon, etc. I can’t do it. ]]

☹ What’s a character that you refuse to play with? Why?

[[ Er, I guess character(s) go here. The only characters I’ve ever flatly refused to play with are obvious mary sue OCs and OCs claiming to be Itachi’s children/significant other. That’s because most of the time (in my experience), the people of those blogs don’t know the difference between IC and OOC, and think I am Itachi, or that my feelings affect Itachi’s feelings, so when Itachi loses his patience they get upset with me and that shouldn’t happen. 

In the end, it’s more the mun I don’t want to play with rather than the character. I actually wouldn’t mind if a character was very pushy, aggressive, or was delusional about being together with him. If it’s just how the character is and the mun knows their boundary and is aware what their character is doing is wrong and these actions have consequences, then I’m a-ok. ]]

⚜ What is the best time to write for you? Why?

Questions for the Mun

⚜ What is the best time to write for you? Why?

[[ Apparently, at work. And I hate that, because I have specific things to do each day and I really can’t afford to sit there, either with a notebook or a word document, and type out roleplay replies and waste time. It isn’t right. Work is also the time when I want to do things like edit pages. My blog is almost 4 years old and a lot of pages need reworking. I tell myself to do it when I get home, and the motivation disappears. 

As for the why, I think I finally figured out it’s the lighting. The ceiling fan light in my room doesn’t really illuminate the whole room, and it’s also yellowish/orange. The corner my desk is at is pretty dark most of the time. My workplace has fluorescent lighting.

I bought and installed a fluorescent light strip today, and I actually feel really good right now. ]]

♡ Would you ever write a poly ship?

Questions for the mun

♡ Would you ever write a poly ship?

[[ I have almost written poly ships before. I definitely have nothing against them, and I’ve drawn fanart of them before. In particular I’m fond of Itachi/Sasuke/Shisui and Itachi/Kisame/Shisui, as well as Sasuke/Itachi/Kisame. Back when I shipped SNS as well I also liked the idea of Naruto/Sasuke/Itachi. I believe the most recent poly ship I wrote about was Izumi/Itachi/Sasuke.

Not to say poly ships are only 3 people. They can definitely be more, but in my experience with this blog I’ve only nearly written/drawn groups of three. ]]
