Prompt : Itachi bandages Sasuke's wound
Sasuke had been reckless yet again. He wanted to show Itachi how good he had gotten with his Shuriken Jutsu, but as he jumped in the air to deflect the shurikens, he lost his balance and a shuriken ended up stabbing his forearm.
Embarrassed he quickly dislodged the Shuriken and tried to hide his wound with his shirt sleeve.
But nothing escaped Itachi's attention. Sasuke felt his cheeks flush a little bit when his kind brother stopped him to tend to his wound.
Ever so gentle, Sasuke found himself looking mesmerized at his brother's long fingers while they tactfully bandaged up the wound and stopped the bleeding.
"Big Brother was good at everything", he mused.
With that admiration came a slight tinge of envy.
"Would I ever be as good as Itachi?" he wondered.
His mind flashed back to the day, when his big brother carried him on his back, when he had sprained an ankle. Not much had changed since then.
Itachi's natural skill and talent loomed like a shadow on his own accomplishments. Itachi's perfection such absolute, something he longed to touch and make his own in the most intimate way
"I think I need a little more practice", he said as he hurriedly tried to remove his hand from Itachi's gentle touch, just so that he could turn his face and hide the embarrassment and disappointment he felt with himself.
I need to get better, he resolved.
