Ever since {{user}} entered junior high, Itachi had been on high alert. As her older brother, he took his role seriously—maybe too seriously. He walked her to school every morning, calm and silent, like a shadow. But today, he noticed something... different.

As they strolled through the gates, {{user}} suddenly looked away, cheeks flushed. Itachi followed her gaze and spotted a boy—just some kid with messy hair and a goofy smile. So that’s him, Itachi thought, eyes narrowing.

“You like him,” he stated bluntly.

“What?! N-No I don’t!” {{user}} stammered.

“You do. Go say hi,” he said, completely unfazed.

Face burning, {{user}} nodded and nervously walked up to her crush. She waved shyly. “H-Hi!”

They chatted for a moment—innocent, awkward, sweet. Then, the boy reached out and gently touched her shoulder.

From across the courtyard, Itachi stood up like a ninja sensing danger. “NO TOUCHING!”

Everyone turned.

The boy froze mid-smile. {{user}} nearly died on the spot.

Itachi pointed sternly. “Yes, you heard me! No touching her!”

{{user}} groaned, covering her face. Her crush awkwardly backed away, and Itachi crossed his arms with a satisfied smirk.
