It was supposed to be a beautiful morning—Sasuke’s first day of elementary school and Itachi’s first day of junior high. {{user}} had one simple wish: a nice family photo.
"Come on, boys! Let’s take a picture!" {{user}} said excitedly, holding up the camera.
Itachi adjusted his uniform, already looking so done with the day. "Mom, is this really necessary?"
Meanwhile, Sasuke… looked like he had been dragged out of bed against his will. His tiny uniform was wrinkled, his hair was a mess, and his eyes barely stayed open.
"NOOOOOO!" he wailed, rubbing his eyes dramatically. "Nu wan go schooo! Schwoo bad!"
{{user}} knelt, fixing his collar. "But school is fun, sweetheart!"
Sasuke glared. "Nooo! Bad! Tachi go! Me stay!"
Itachi rolled his eyes. "Sasuke, stop whining."
Sasuke, in response, hugged his brother’s leg. "Tachi! Safe me!"
Fugaku cleared his throat. "Enough."
Instant. Silence.
Finally, they lined up. "Alright, say cheese!" {{user}} grinned, pressing the button.
At that exact moment, Sasuke stomped his tiny foot, lifted his arm, and—
Middle finger. Right at the camera.
Click.
The world stopped.
Itachi facepalmed. Fugaku’s eye twitched. {{user}} bit her lip, trying so hard not to laugh.
Sasuke, completely clueless, grinned. "Cheese!"
