100 Ways To Fall In Love

Uchiha Izuna

WONDER: Empty Bed

"What're you doing?" Izuna asked, watching you through narrowed eyes as you kneeled down in front of a kitten. The furry creature rubbed itself against the palm of your hand as you looked up at the boy, your eyes covered with a white cloth.

Izuna had always been weirded out by you. Always found it uncanny whenever you looked in his direction. At first he thought it was stupid that you walked around with something covering your eyes but he did eventually learn that it was because you saw too much when your eyes weren't covered. While it still seemed pretty stupid to him the idea had shifted from stupid to weird. The worst part was you weren't even an Uchiha.

Your clan, which specializes in their Ice Kekkei Genkai didn't know what to do when you were born with such an uncommon Dojutsu that they ended up shipping you off to the Uchihas when you were young.

You smile in that stupid way you always do, "isn't the kitten cute?"

"No and you should stop wasting your time with stupid things if you ever hope to master your stupid Dojutsu." Izuna exclaimed.

You turn back to the kitten and Izuna can't very well make out your expression. He thinks you're frowning but doesn't stick around long enough to find out. Not that he ever cared enough anyways.

"Ah, young (L/n)! Why don't you come join us."

Izuna, and the rest of the young Uchihas that had been listening to the lecture, turned to look up at you. You just happened to be passing by, turning to look at them through the doorway with covered eyes.

A few of the boys snickered and the girls whispered something to one another. Izuna rolled his eyes.

It's always something with you, Izuna thinks. If you're not playing with useless kittens or puppies you're interrupting important lessons for the actual clan members. In fact, if Izuna had it his way he'd have never accepted you in the first place. Gone and sent you packing just like the rest of your Clan members. In fact, if they didn't want you then why should they?

If you noticed the behaviour of the young Uchihas you didn't bother to say or do anything about it.

You bow politely to the lecturer, "that's alright. I'm actually wanted in the training hall right now. But thank you for your time and consideration."

The lecturer standing at the head of the temporary classroom smiles, surprising Izuna.

He never smiles.

It's annoying and shows blatant favouritism. Of course the clan elders like you. You're just oh so polite and understanding. Always doing what was told and what's expected. Just another reason why Izuna just can't stand you.

"You will visit then, for dinner, won't you?" The lecturer asks.

You flash that stupid smile, "of course."

There isn't much that annoys Izuna. But you-

"Izuna, why don't you pair up with (L/n)?" His father suggested. "The two of you are around the same age and skill level."

-You seem to be the exception.

"What?" Izuna exclaims, "but I wanna practice with my older brother!"

His father rolls his eyes, clearly not wanting to further engage with this pointless argument, "it won't kill you to spar with her for a little while. And besides, you might find it rather constructive."
