Sasuke's POV:
I smirked wide as I watched the way Chika approached the balcony edge and look out at the view. Her eyes were as wide as saucers as she soaked it all in. I love how easily she is amazed by things. I like that I can do that. She is so... cute. I smirked wider as I stood beside her.
"What do you think?" I asked her casually, not taking my eyes off her.
"It's... beautiful... It looks so different from high up. When you're down on ground level, you can't see it all" she said as she continuously looked around. I nodded and looked out at the view too.
"You're easy to please, you know that Chika?" I asked her as I continued to look out at the view. She looked at me.
"I am? Well, I suppose" she said looking back out too. I chuckled.
"It's very hard to please me. I think you know that" I said as I side glanced her. I wanted to see her reaction to that. She looked at me again. She nodded and I smirked even wider. "Not many people can" I said quietly. She stayed silent as she waited for me to make sense of what I was saying. She was just so adorable as she watched me. "But you... continue to amuse me" I said making her look surprised.
"I do?" she asked quietly. I looked at her and we made eye contact.
"Yes you do" I said wanting to keep our locked gaze but she looked away. I could tell that she got uncomfortable with the intensity of my stare. I decided to challenge her to see what she would say. "How do you do it?" I asked and she looked back at me confused.
"D-do what? A-amuse you?" she asked me awkwardly.
"Yes" I said turning to face her properly. Her face reddened and she looked out at the view quickly. I wanted to chuckle at how nervous she looked. I could project so many emotions from her by doing simple actions and using simple words. I loved it. I leaned down to her ear and she stiffened. "I did ask you a question" I whispered 'reminding' her.
"A-am... I don't m-mean to" she stuttered making me smirk wide. Of course. That's what makes me like her so much. If she was trying I would hate her. But she isn't. She is just acting normal. I tilted my head so I could see her face better. She had a nervous expression on. It is amazing that I can do this to her. It is quite exciting. I wanted to see her smile since I love seeing it so I decided to ask a question that would hopefully prompt one.
"Have you visited your brother yet?" I asked her and she froze looking terrified. I frowned at her. Why does she look so scared? She looked at me with worried eyes making me frown more. "Chika, what's wrong?" I asked her.
"W-what? W-why?" she stuttered. That confused me. Why is she acting like that?
"Because I want to know" I said getting suspicious by her unusual reaction.
"Am... I-I did visit him" she said nervously looking out at the view again. I leaned the side of my hip on the balcony wall and observed her with a serious face.
"And?" I asked her wanting to know why she seemed so scared to tell me that.
"Am... n-nothing... It was a nice visit" she said trembling. Is she lying to me? But why would she lie? What has she got to hide? It doesn't make sense. But then someone interrupted our talk.
Itachi's POV:
"Sasuke, Father wants to talk to us about letters we've received" I said coldly to him as I stood at the open balcony doors. He was standing too close to Chika. I saw the way Chika had tensed up at the sound of my voice. Sasuke looked glaringly at me.
"I thought you were told to leave me and my maid alone?" Sasuke challenged. I grinded my teeth when he said 'my maid'.
"Well Sasuke, you and your maid weren't in your room and I happened to be passing so I decided to inform you" I said with venom. That isn't exactly true. The only reason I said something to him so that he could step back from Chika. I didn't like the way he was looking at her. Sasuke only glared harder for a second or two longer before he looked back at Chika.
