[FIC] watch not one another out of fear - Shisui/Shikako

Title: watch not one another out of fear
Summary: As tension between the Uchiha and the village grows, Shikako joins the Konoha Military Police; Shisui shows up frequently with lunch for her for prearranged meetings that are definitely not dates.
Preview:

“Do you want to be a detective?” Shisui asks her when he finds her spending her break paging through cold cases.

He’s brought her lunch. For no reason. To celebrate her first week on day shift. To make sure she feels welcomed and his clanmates aren’t being mean or weird to her — or accidentally coming off as mean or weird, since out-clan people can never read them right and they’re all terrible at communication.

“I’ll probably go out on missions in the field again eventually, I think, but being a detective doesn’t sound too bad. Reading cold cases is a good way to acclimate myself to things without grabbing a file someone might need.”
