tw for mentions of eating disorders

There was a stony silence after you finished telling Itachi about your relationship, or lack thereof, with food. His face was unreadable, and you began to feel as though the last thing you should have done was tell him the truth. You hadn't lied about it, you'd just never brought it up. It was only after you'd made an off-hand comment about not eating that bar of chocolate because you didn't want to gain any weight, that Itachi had had enough of pretending to not notice.

The two of you were already sat at the kitchen table so Itachi didn't need to ask you to sit down. He leaned forward in his chair, his onyx eyes watching you carefully, reading you.

He'd suspected for some time that you didn't have a healthy relationship with food, but he hadn't realised that it was this bad.

You shifted uncomfortably in the silence and Itachi put his hand, palm up, on the table. Your palm slid over the cool surface of the table to meet his, your fingers curling together. It was his unspoken way of grounding you, knowing that you needed this above anything else he could offer you at that moment.

With his other hand, Itachi pushed the previously rejected bar of chocolate towards you slowly.

"You do not need to eat all of it. Just one square, if that is all that you can manage. Food does not make you gain weight, Y/N. I will help you, if you would like me too. You are not alone. We will fight this, together."

And as you looked into his eyes, you saw that he was sincere
