After Itachi settled in, he called his parents letting them know, they were relieved to know he hangs up since it getting late. " so Itachi did you get here on a scholarship? " Shisui spoke grabbing the takeout he ordered them. " pizza fine with you? " he spoke grabbing two plates, " yeah, and I guess you can say that " he spoke putting his phone on the nightstand beside his bed.

" what do you mean? " he spoke handing him his plate with two slices of pizza, " originally they offered me a music scholarship, but I declined. Music just a hobby of mine, I want to be a doctor so I can save people lives " he spoke with a small smile on his face. " why is that? If you don't mind me asking " Shisui spoke taking a bite out of his pizza. " when I was younger I remember watching tv shows, where people would praise doctors. But I always wanted to help others, since young I was always alone, I would watch everyone talk to their friends. I didn't have anyone, the only person I was friends with moved when I seven, I didn't even know her as good " he spoke, turning to look out the window.

" but whenever I helped her out with something or saved her from bullies, it was the most wonderful feeling I ever felt, I felt happy. Whenever I could I would help others, especially my brother. So from young I decided I want to be a doctor " he spoke smiling as he looks over at him. Shisui felt himself smile, " wow, that's some career, well I get that. Well, Itachi I'm cheering you on " he spoke smiling at him.

" what about you Shisui-san? " he spoke, " huh? " he spoke, " what are you studying for? " Itachi spoke. " oh that, I'm studying to be a police officer or someone who works at a daycare " he spoke, " are you good with kids? " Itachi spoke. " you could say that children are so sweet and adorable " he spoke, " do you have siblings? " he spoke. " no I was an only child, my mother died giving birth to me " Shisui spoke, "I'm sorry to hear that " Itachi spoke.

" it's fine, my father had a disease which he was slowly losing his memories, growing up he could bearly remember me or anything. When I was seven my father overdose, I was sent to an orphanage. I moved to two to three different homes till I was eighteen and I was able to leave " he spoke smiling softly. " I'm sorry to hear that, I'm sure he loved you dearly " Itachi spoke, " yeah he did, that's why I wish to take care of children, so every day as long as I see them, I can make them smile " he spoke. " why a police officer then? " Itachi spoke.

" When I was young I thought they were cool, the last thing I remember before leaving my home. Was a nice man, he had short brown hair and onyx eyes, I remember him telling me everything was going to be okay. He was scary, but he was kind. Since then, I kinda wanted to be an officer, kinda cheesy right? " Shisui spoke chuckling. " no not really, if anything it's kinda sweet. Besides if you become an officer, I'll probably be seeing a lot of you " he spoke. " huh? why is that? " Shisui spoke, " my father a cop, maybe you'll see or work with him " he spoke.

" oh really? nice, maybe I will. I still need to decide " he spoke, "I think either one suites you " Itachi spoke. " so you said you got a music scholarship here, what you play? " he spoke. "I mostly play the violin, guitar, and the piano " he spoke. "I see your talented, so how old are you. You look young, uh no offense " Shisui spoke. " none taken, I'm nineteen, I was advance for a kid my age. I graduated early " he spoke. " oh I see, I'm twenty-two, three-year gap " he spoke.

" yeah " he spoke, " do you sing? " he spoke, " uh sometimes, I'm not the best though " Itachi spoke. " this might sound weird, but. Can you sing something " Shisui spoke blushing, "I mean you don't have to if you don't want to " he spoke. " sure Shisui-san, but be warned I'm no pro or anything " he spoke. He gets up walking to his side of the room grabbing his coat, "I'll go grab my guitar real quick " he spoke grabbing his keys. Hw walks out coming back five minutes later with his guitar, he opens it pulling out a guitar, it was light brown. He tunes it a bit, " anything in mind? " he spoke looking at him.

" something soft and mellow " he spoke, " alright, I think I know a good song " he spoke beginning to play. 

Lipstick paperweight

So your paperback spine won't blow away

Too brittle to stand your body straight

And fight the wind

Skin like a cloudy day

Eyes puffy like bucket bags on your face

That shelter your pain like a hiding place

And shake your chin

And it falls

Like rain

And when it falls

You won't feel the same

You won't feel the pain

Heavy lungs let you breathe

In and out, like a part lucid dream

Blurry lines decorate all you see

Through a foggy lens

Lump throat, gotta go

You gotta find peace in this broken home

Salivate gums, and a runny nose

The body tense and cold

And it falls

Like rain

And when it falls

You won't feel the same

You won't feel the pain

You won't feel the pain

Ooh, you won't feel the pain

You won't feel the pain

You won't feel the pain

You won't feel the pain

You won't feel the pain

And it falls

Like rain

And when it falls

You won't feel a thing

You won't feel a- AHH!

You won't feel a thing

You won't feel the pain

You won't feel the pain

You won't feel the pain 

Once done he looks over at him, " how was that? " he spoke, " holy shit, that's the best thing I've ever heard " he spoke causing Itachi to blush. " uh really, thanks " he spoke smiling softly.
