[He pauses, waiting for Sasuke to speak up. When nothing comes, he thinks he gets it which is why he takes a deep breath before saying what it is he's been thinking about for what feels like days.]
I never wanted to-- do any of that before that magic stuff happened. I get it, you're mad... I would'a been mad, too. It's just, y'know. All the stuff that happened back home, the stuff with Karui, I never wanted to hurt anyone. 'Specially not you.
[Sasuke was never one to let go of a grudge, and it's probably the biggest difference between them. It'll be the making or breaking of a lot of things...
But even so, in this instance, he's pretty pissed off with Thiazi himself.]
Well... yeah.
She made us all kinda crazy right? Just... some of us a bit... more weird.
['A bit'. He scoffs at that, this went far beyond changing people 'a bit'.
He hadn't noticed any significant changes in himself, but even that said something. Tempers, violent urges and dark thoughts, just a normal day for him, right?]
For all your years of preaching you sure looked pleased to watch me die.
[And perhaps that is why it still bothers him so much. Because regardless of what Thiazi had done he had listened to all those proclamations over the years. How Naruto was going to save him from himself and protect him from others no matter what. And maybe, when he was finally starting to actually consider it, something like this happened.]
[He's not quite aware that Sasuke didn't feel any different than usual. Which might be a conversation he'd feel they'd need to have if he did.
What he does know, is that this is unfair.]
That wasn't-- Whatever she did to me made me like that. Not me. You can't...
[Perhaps Sasuke is right though. How can he go about spouting things like he does when under Thiazi's curse he did those things without so much as batting an eyelid.]
[Thank goodness. He's not sure what Itachi would do with the news. Which might be a silly thing, because Itachi is, despite everything people seem to think, reasonable.]

'bout last week, y'know?
no subject
He assumes Naruto has something specific to say, so.. he's listening.]

no subject
Actually no, he hadn't. But that frustration had largely been focused in another direction.]
It wasn't you, I get it. [But he still came after him specifically at first, and it isn't something he can just forget about.] It was that Thiazi.
[He doesn't need to say anything else for it to be obvious where that anger was now focused. Or who it was focused on.]

no subject
So instead, he deflects. Onto something else that seems much more important right now.]
Itachi's here.
no subject
At least he's still talking to him.]
Yeah. I er, bumped into him.
no subject
[Nosy younger brother here.
Also he didn't tell Itachi anything about what had happened between them, so wants to know if Naruto blabbed or not.]
no subject
This is too obvious, isn't it?]
Er, well I told him about what's goin' on back home?
no subject
[It is probably ridiculously obvious what he is actually referring to here.]
no subject
Luckily, it doesn't take a genius.]
Yeah.
no subject
Anything else?
no subject
... Did you?
no subject
[For a number of reasons.]
no subject
[Thank goodness. He's not sure what Itachi would do with the news. Which might be a silly thing, because Itachi is, despite everything people seem to think, reasonable.]
Thanks.
no subject
...Don't say anything to him about it.
[He will probably tell him, eventually. If Naruto is thanking him though, he doubts he will go talking about it before then.]
no subject
I ain't gonna.
no subject
Just make sure you don't. Anything else?
no subject
Er.
I guess-- no?
no subject
I'm leaving then.
no subject
[Okay. ;;]
Yeah, I'll er- see you later.
no subject
no subject
Goodbye, my lover--
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one...
You have been the one for me.
Yeah, see you tomorrow bff5eva]
