Opening the door to the hotel room, Y/n stepped back slightly. Shisui lingered in the doorway as he surveyed Y/n's appearance. She was dressed in an oversized sweatshirt that hung a deep red color off her shoulders. She had on a pair of black capris that were loose on her body. Her h/c hair was tied up in a lazy bun. Those beautiful e/c eyes were tired and lifeless.

Unable to take the look on Shisui's face, Y/n turned to walk back into her room. Fighting the sigh away, Shisui stepped in after her. Closing and locking the door, Shisui followed Y/n.

The room was one large open area. A small kitchenette to the left when you first entered. To the left were a small office area, desk, and computer. The sitting room was beside the office, a couch and chair with a small TV. A table for two sat beside the kitchen. Lastly, the king-size bed sat beside the living area and what had to be the bathroom across from it.

Taking a seat on the couch, Y/n stared at the TV with dull eyes. Then, with tentative steps, Shisui approached to sit beside Y/n. While Y/n was lost in thought, her fingers traced her naked finger once again. Shisui continued to keep his eyes fixated on Y/n. He wasn't sure what to say now that he had seen her.

Shisui waited as long as he could to try to call her. Once he heard her voice, he nearly broke down. Seeing her- it took everything he had not to scoop her into his arms. He hated himself. The desire to hold her, to take her pain away, it was wrong of him. The urge to make her forget it all filled his soul. He was the worst type of man there was.

"Why wouldn't you call me?" Shisui's timber was low and rough.

Without looking at Shisui, Y/n gave him an answer, "And say what?" She scoffed, "My husband cheated on me because he thought I was sleeping with Tobirama. Hell, he probably still thinks I was sleeping with you."

"Gorgeous," the single word made Y/n close her eyes. Then, turning slightly, Shisui raised his hand. Brushing his fingers over Y/n's cheek, he moved her stray hairs from her face. "I wish I could take it all away."

Those words. There was so much meaning behind them. He didn't just mean Obito cheating on her; he meant everything. Shisui wished he could take away all of the pain Y/n's suffered over the years. Take away the misery. Wash it all away.

A tear slipped through Y/n's closed lids. "Every choice I've ever made in life has led me here, Shisui. This isn't on anyone but me."

As he wiped the few tears that fell, Shisui spoke again, "You're always so dramatic," he tried to make light of the situation. Unfortunately, Shisui was never very good at handling an upset woman. And with that woman being Y/n, he was at a total loss. Moving his hand away, Shisui added, "You never let anyone take care of you."

Eyes fluttering open, Y/n frowned, "I don't need to be taken care of, Shisui."

"That might be what you think," Shisui argued, "but have you thought about what Obito might want?" Y/n looked at Shisui with surprise. "I'm serious, Y/n. Obito only ever wanted to take care of you. He wanted you to open up to him-"

"He knows everything there is to know, Shisui," Y/n cut him off, upset by his words.

Shisui's lips thinned into a line as he thought for a moment, "He knows about your life since Kakashi," Shisui continued to try to make her see the error in her ways. But why? "Does he know about college? Boarding school? Your childhood? The two of you never connected outside of the drama and angst surrounding the case. I doubt that Obito ever talked about his childhood much, either. The difference is that you can give Obito the emotional support he needs and wants. Did you ever stop and let him show you the same? He wants you to be as vulnerable as he is. I know that's hard for you, gorgeous."
