Before he left -- Sasuke's expression hardened immediately, lips drawing thin with disapproval. For all that he could be intractable in singing Itachi's praises to anyone else, he was perfectly comfortable scolding Itachi to his face when it came to things like this, especially given how firm the hospital had been about this exact situation.

"That's been months," he said, both hands firmly set on his hips in unconscious imitation of Mikoto's lecturing stance. "I knew there was something wrong when I saw you hadn't put in a request for a refill yet -- that means you've been out of them for how long now?"

There probably should have been more shame about looking into someone else's patients medical records, but as far as Sasuke was aware, family was fair game when it came to rifling files.
