ใ the real world that is currently set to a simulation in a space station removed from time and space. just a brief cataloguing of the absurdity for those keeping watch at home.
the corner of gwen's mouth tilts up in a small smile. ใ
I'd like to stick around a while.
ใ when konoha finally vanishes around her and she blinks into the sunlight above the lake and its dock, gwen huffs quietly. her body is as it was when itachi met her eyes: caught in the grips of a threat that never drops entirely to zero. but the edges are sanded down. when she breathes, she fills her lungs.
before she can speak, a skinny black tentacle smacks itachi's shoulder. ใ Hey! ใ the symbiote curls back into her at the scolding. gwen scoffs. ใ
Sorry. ใ she makes a face at itachi in apology. ใ I think that's Venom saying you get a pass this time, but my head's taken.
๏ผ he makes a soft, amused little noise, but does not protest the smack, nor try to avoid it. instead, he reaches out to one of the questing tendrils, rubbing the edge of his finger against it in an affectionate nudge. ๏ผ
I have my own. Besides, between you and I, I think Gwen likes you better.
ใ she regards the ink-black shapeless blob with clear fondness. ใ Only a little.
ใ mollified, the symbiote reforms the neckline of her shirt. what's left sinks through her skin until no sign of it remains. gwen remains in comfortable silence a moment before her eyes find itachi. her face remains colorless, but when she smiles, the gesture reaches her eyes. ใ
Thank you.
ใ she takes his hand in both of hers. he is so close still she does not need to lean too far forward before she can kiss his cheek. ใ

they spend the walk back to the dormitories in silence, and part ways at her shared room with wei wuxian. ๏ผ
