Silhouette ➴『Obito Uchiha』[DISCONTINUED]

[5] │ʜᴇʀᴇ ɪ sᴛᴀɴᴅ│

His pale yet slender fingers trailed down feeling the rather smooth skin, eyes shut as a small breeze blew around the cozy room playing around with his silver hair.

With a sigh and a small motion of his tired feet, managing to move his trembling body ever so slightly, lips momentarily parting apart to let out profanities.

The small light that peaked through the slightly opened curtains reflected on the wooden floor as the sound of birds chirping began to be heard.

Picking himself up from his death bed, rising up as every other day of his miserable life, pressing down on the messy covers that hanged from the side of the bed while letting out a small shriek of pain.

Blurry vision and past memories that still somehow managed to come back one time after the other, sleepless nights of deep thought that lead to a dead end at every try of conceiving sleep.

Feeling too weak to continue on, feeling too prideful to admit it, but having to carry the weight of inminent consequences that dragged him down, slowly destroying his will in milliseconds.

Mercy, he begged silently to no one as he found himself completely alone after coming home to find not one soul around, lights dimmed in the hallway at night as his gaze looked over to said place, as if he were waiting for a certain someone.

"Itadakimasu"
Spoke the boy slowly as a tear began trailing down his cheek, lowering his hands to begin eating alone, cherishing the things he still had but the ones that were nothing but a far away dream, perhaps one day he'd catch on to it.
       
                                           (......)

"Tick, Tick, Tick"

Began the endless song that played every morning, tired hands reaching slowly to power off the round object. Eyes slowly opening as if his still figure had awoken from a deep slumber.

Arising up once again, observing his surroundings, closely. Determination filling his hazy eyes, cold hands that tried to find heat in one another failing to do so as from the countless times.

Managing to stand up, wobbly feet that had almost given up.
"31st"
Read the boy in a rather hushed manner whilst pressing his hand on the calendar that wore a faded white.

Taking hurried steps as if it were the only action his body could do, noticing the gullible sight that lied before him, once again staring at the empty hallway, quietly. Agony succumbing inside him as the toxic feeling of soaring greed washed upon him.

A false yet painful smile that adorned his face, the feeling of culpability that just as a sea in deep calamity could wear, beautiful yet deadly. Walking back into the obscure room as shadows seemed to be his only companion.

Familiar faces that the dark seemed to paint around the room, unknown entities that somehow he still recognized, the years that seemed to play with his mind, things that were better as forgotten but the past that didn't wish to be left behind.

Eyes blinking slowly, gracefully unlatching to take in the egregious  feeling of erronious guilt. Caustic words that played along in an advantageous yet perfunctory course of imminent backlash.

Walking back slowly, steps that only he could take blinded by insidious worry, seconds that seemed to last for an eternity, aesthetical colors reflecting on his pale skin making different patterns that jailed more than what could be seen.

Pressing a hand on the wooden door that bit by bit opened leaving the sight of well stocked clothing, the smell of peacefulness emanating from the small place. Another hand reached on to grab a simple pair of clothing that he called uniform, shinobi gear that remarked in numerous ways.

Pale fingers reaching over his shoulders, feeling the silk-like attire, slowly getting rid of every piece of clothing that his frame wore, every small touch that sent shivers down his spine to marvelous delight.

As the task was marked off the list, the sound of old wood creaking began to be heard as the before mentioned walked through the obscure endless maze that he called home.

Minutes passed as well as his continuous worries came to an epilogue, walking forward to the door to then turn the knob in such manner that the contact of bare metal with his skin made the scenary look as if it were a film.

Menancing light came through, blinding his eyes temporarily as a hand made its way to cover his face, a groan equivalent to such action whilst the door began to be closed.

                          (.....)

The sun reached its peak on the sky, the buckets of crimson tint that had resided up in the before mentioned place had been long gone leaving the beautiful glimpse of a baby blue colored atmosphere.

A goulash of scents twirls above the satin soft petals flowing gracefully and the pear sweet taste in the air is a blessed joy, cherry pink trees as beautiful as the rubies of the dawn skies.

Overhearing an exodus of banished birds appear as if out of a celtic fairytale, impossible to be unheard with the songs that seemed to be recited by none other than angels.

Hair being moved by the joyful morning breeze, slightly colder than usual as arms began slowly wrapping looking for warmth within themselves. Cryptic voices that cracked a sense of recognition within his intellect began to be heard.

Walking up to observe the sight, a not so picture perfect perception that latched like a magnet.

Both meeting each other's gaze momentarily, the Uchiha drilling his dark eyes into his. His breath evaporated from his chest, heart thumped erratically. His mouth felt dry and his tongue swollen, the feeling of deep sorrow and yet peace.

His deep dark eyes were a gateway to his mind, a deep pool of foreign emotions, they were sweet silence before dawn and the calm before the storm, an endless depth of indescribable sentiment.

A Thousand words or perhaps of a greater number that managed to stay within by the slightest thread of fine restraint, but failing to do so at least for a few seconds.

Lips slowly parted apart before the threatening words escaped his mouth, like an unstoppable avalanche that had no means to cease.

"So, you two were here"
