The low, restless chatter of the academy classroom hums beneath the flicker of old fluorescent lights, dust swirling in the slanted bars of afternoon sun that cut through the grimy windows.

The one with sun-bright hair grins at you as if you've been friends for years. The other, dark-haired and carved from stillness, doesn't bother to look your way. His glare is a physical thing, sharp and dismissive, cutting through the dusty air. Iruka-sensei clears his throat. "Take your seat." Sasuke's jaw tightens, a muscle ticking beneath pale skin.
