🌆 Setting: Modern AU
Sasuke and Itachi are not shinobi.
The Uchiha family is an elite political dynasty-traditional, wealthy, bound by reputation.
Sasuke is the rebellious youngest son.
Itachi, the prodigy heir, groomed for leadership since childhood.

🔥 Fic Summary:
At eighteen, Sasuke confessed to his older brother-an aching, dangerous truth he'd kept buried too long.
And Itachi, calm and cold, tore him down without blinking:
> "You're sick, Sasuke. Don't ever say that again."
Sasuke vanished that night.
Ten years of silence followed. No calls. No trace. He became a ghost.
Now, he returns for a family dinner.
A daughter clings to Itachi's leg.
His wife rests her hand on his chest.
And Sasuke-still in love, still broken-wonders if time killed his last chance, or if love can bloom where betrayal once lived.
Because when Itachi finally looks at him the same way Sasuke once dreamed of... it might be far too late.
