Preparing for the festival.

[youngesthokage]

He had a neat pile next to him on the counter, black and silver leather rabbit god mask at the very top. It was a bit morbid, the story of that, but it seemed like everything about this festival was morbid, so that was actually appropriate, in a way. He had the pale off white and frost blue kimono pulled most of the way up his shoulders, and he turned carefully one way, then the other as he examined himself in the mirror.

The reason? He was playing around with Oiroke, but he was doing it behind a closed door in the bathroom, and he sincerely hoped no one came to see what was taking him so long. He was just... curious. After all, he'd never spent much time in the shape and he had a memory of doing so.

Still, did it really change so little about his appearance?

Tenten had never really been one for sneaking around their house. After all, they were all comfortable enough with each other that walking in on the other naked would... probably just mean there being at least two naked people instead of just one. Thus, she doesn't bother to knock as she barges into the bathroom to look for more hairpins, a file dangling from her teeth and one bun undone around her shoulders.

She lets the file drop into her hand to be set on the counter when she spots her lover, though, and immediately lunges forward to wrap her arms around his waist and press her lips to one partially-bared shoulder. "Evening, Itachi-sama~" she purrs against his skin, though her lips start to curve into a frown as she squeezes him tighter. Hold on, something feels strange when she squeezes him. "Are you wearing something weird under this?"

Completely AU. Pay us no mind.

Itachi felt the bathroom door with his hand.

"Are you in here? I've been looking everywhere for you." he paused, coughing a little under his breath. "Not literally, of course..."

It had been weeks since their mutual eye operation. The Hokage had gotten his bandages off already, but Itachi's eyes were healing much more slowly.
