Dear Foolish Little Brother,

Dec. 23

Dear Foolish Little Brother,

Hello. I bet you are wondering

why I am bothering to write you

this letter. Truthfully, so am I.

I guess it's mostly because I'm

bored, but your guess is as good

as mine. Well, by the time you

get this it will be Christmas, so

I guess Merry Christmas would be

something I could add. You could

write back if you feel like it.

~ Itachi

Dec. 26

Dear Itachi,

Boredom must be contagious.

Christmas wasn't too exciting.

Other than Sakura and Ino, I didn't

get anything at all. Not that I

actually wanted anything. I never

do. How was your Christmas? I

suppose this is a way to fill time.

Though I never thought you'd stoop

to the level of writing to me.

* Sasuke

Dec. 28

Dear Foolish Little Brother,

Siatiamaru for writing. My

Christmas was as exciting as

yours sounded. In these letters

I've been noticing how brotherly

close we've been sounding. It's

kind of sickening. I'd ask how

your friends are but we both know

that I don't want to hear it.

~ Itachi

Jan. 1

Dear Itachi,

Happy New Year. I didn't

have much fun this holiday

either. Your vocabulary is quite

intense when you write. Is it

because you're bored or do you

talk like this too? About the brotherly

close thing, I know. It is. But we both

know that we don't have anything

better to do.

*Sasuke

Jan. 3

Dear Foolish Little Brother,

I'm surprised you think my

vocabulary is intense when, if

you haven't noticed, yours is

just as colorful. Did I just compliment

you? Never mind. If I may, why

do you star your name

when the correct thing to do

is put a time break as you well know?

I'll never know with you, Sasuke.

~ Itachi

Jan. 5

Dear Itachi,

I'm shocked. I can't believe

you actually put my name in

your letter. I thought I was

'Foolish Little Brother'. Never

Sasuke. I star my name because

well, I do. I have no real reason

and I don't plan on changing

just because "big brother" told

me to. I'm truly sorry if you

have a problem with that, but I'm

not in the mood to be pushed around.

*Sasuke

Jan. 7

Dear Foolish Little Brother,

No. You're not worth the time to

tell you how or why or the great

importance of how to sign your

own name correctly. It's a waste

of ink. As for your name, I have

no trouble writing it. I do

understand why you would feel that

I am isolating it. Your name may be

Sasuke, but your just a

foolish little brother to me.

~ Itachi

Jan. 9

Dear Itachi,

Are our lives so uninteresting

that still we continue to write?

I know that my life is boring

enough, but you wherever you

are have got to have something to do.

We have been doing this for so

long that I am beginning to enjoy

writing. Do you feel the same?

You got to ask a question, now it's

my turn. Maybe you could put

'Dear Sasuke' once or twice. I am

hating the 'foolish little brother' thing.

*Sasuke

Jan. 12

Dear Fooli- Sasuke,

Sorry. I am writing in pen

and I am so used to the 'foolish

little brother' thing that I messed up.

I'll only put 'Sasuke' this time. You're

lucky. To answer the first question,

......yes. I guess I am fond of writing

even if it is to you. Well, that's not true.

I guess I truthfully mean especially

scene it's you.

~ Itachi

Jan. 15

Dear Itachi,

..............................

..............Thanks, I think.

Especially scene it's me?

Why are you being all brotherly

all of a sudden? Thanks for putting

'Sasuke' too, even if you did mess up.

I guess I owe you now. Do you want

me to put in the time break or to

write 'foolish little brother' on

my signature? Never mind, I'll just

do both. You know, I guess the reason

I was all shocked before was because

I feel the same way. Screw the whole

eternal revenge thing. I owe you that much.

~ Foolish Little Brother

Jan. 18

Dear Foolish Little Brother,

I must have touched a heartstring to

make you take back the eternal revenge.

Dan ku well. You know the whole sig. change

was unnecessary. You really didn't owe

me anything. I was being kind. Kind? Who

am I? You know Sasuke, maybe you're not

so foolish after all.

~ Itachi

Jan. 21

Dear Nii-kun,

Please don't mock the opening.

Wait, you do remember Nii-kun.

Don't you? You're Nii-kun. Remember?

I used to call you that when we were little.

You do remember, don't you? You may not.

I understand why you wouldn't if you

don't. It was such a long time scene I called

you that. But you probably favor Itachi.

I'm being such a baby. Nii-kun? I shouldn't

call you that. It's babyish.

~ Foolish Little Brother

Jan. 23

Dear Little Brother,

Nii-kun? I haven't been called

that in quite a long time. But

nonetheless you are still being

babyish for reverting to that. I was

really shocked that you'd even bring

that up in a letter. I guess we are pretty

much out of things to write. Maybe we could

tell each other one secret about their

past or present. Maybe we could ask each other

for what we want to hear. If so, you can go

first. I have to admit, this is an entertaining

way to fill time.

~ Itachi

Jan. 26

Dear Older Brother,

Well, I think that would be a nice way to fill

time. Not that we have anything else

better to do. Truly sorry for the Nii-kun

thing. One secret I have is, that in my childhood

I adored you and looked up to you. I thought

you were the best brother a guy could have.

But that's not the secret. It's that I still

do. And I always will. Maybe you could tell

me the real reason you killed everybody.

~ Foolish Little Brother; Sasuke

Jan. 29

Dear Little Brother,

Dear little brother, Sasuke, could you

please not write 'foolish little brother' on

your sig.? Thank you. I guess I could tell

you what you want to know. I killed everyone

because I was showing off for you. Okay,

so it was really stupid, but hey, if you

were captain of Anbu at 13 and had that

much pressure on you, then you just may have

done the same. I guess that when your reaction

was the opposite of what I wanted, my brain kicked

in, telling me to say what I said. For my question to you,

tell me the rest of the story behind your first secret.

~ Itachi

Jan. 31

Dear Itachi,

Thank you for telling me that. I really

needed to know. I think it's giving

me the guts to answer your question. I-

well, the rest of the story is that I guess I more

than adore you. I love you, Itachi. And I always will.

Itachi, well, do you know that, that when we were little,

and the last time I hugged you that you felt really

warm? Warmer than mom or dad?

~ Sasuke

Feb. 2

Dear Precious Little Brother,

I hadn't noticed that about myself. Warmer

than mom or dad? What do you think it is?

Chalk one up for the weakness of Uchiha, Itachi.

Sasuke, may I ask you a question? Sasuke,

do you hate me? No, really, do you? I know

what you wrote before, but I need to know, and

I need to know truthfully. It would help me

as much as my answer helped you. You may

feel that you are not obliged to answer,

but please do.

~ Itachi

Feb. 5

Dear Itachi,

Itachi, no. No, I don't hate you.

Not even a little bit. I told you already

that I love you and I'm not lying. If you'd

have asked me that around December, I'd

have said that I most certainly do. But not now.

As for your weakness, I think this follows

what I believe. That when someone feels really

warm to me, it means that they really love me.

If I may, do you? C'mon, I answered your

question, it's only fair.

~ Sasuke

Feb. 7

Dear Precious Little Brother,

No, it most certainly is not fair. Your question is

ten times harder. I suppose your belief is true

this time. Yes, Sasuke, I do love you.

I love you very much. More than our parents ever

did. In fact, I doubt they loved us at all.

Maybe that's why I killed them. To make it just

you and me, and no one who wouldn't love

us. I don't much understand love. All I know

is that I love you, Sasuke. Chalk another one up

for the weakness of Uchiha, Itachi.

~ Itachi

Feb. 9

Dear Itachi,

Wow, Itachi, you had the word love in that last

letter six times. You are also up to two weaknesses.

You amaze me nonstop (sarcasm). You are the best older

brother ever. But, it's not in a way you would understand.

My love, I mean. No, you wouldn't understand.

It's just not fair to me to feel these things yet not be

able to tell you.

~ Sasuke

Feb, 11

Dear Precious Little Brother,

Try me. With what you think I wouldn't

understand. I may not know much about

love or feelings (there's another weakness

to chalk up), but you can trust me with

just about anything. That is, unless you distrust

me that much. I'm pretty sure you don't, but

hey, I could be wrong. I have been before.

~ Itachi

Feb. 14

Dear Itachi,

No. As much as I want to tell you,

I just can't. It will hurt too much.

What if these letters get intercepted?

Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa.

My loving older brother, I'm sorry.

~ Sasuke

Feb. 17

Dear Precious Little Brother,

I forgive. Don't worry, I got the message

out of the hastily scrawled note. If you want,

we can meet face to face. How about Feb. 19?

Hmm, not in a public place...... how about

Konahagure Forest? 3:00pm? Just show up

if you agree.

~ Itachi

So, at 3:00pm, on Feb. 19 in the Konahagure Forest, Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha met.

"Hello, Itachi." Sasuke said.

"Hello. Now," Itachi wanted to get right to the point. "what weren't you going to tell me?"

"You're quick into a subject." Sasuke said. Itachi detected slight annoyance in his voice.

"Sorry. Please?" he said with no emotion whatsoever.

"Well, I," he started, determined to get it out this time. Itachi waited patiently for Sasuke to continue. "Now, I know you may not understand..."

"I am fully aware of that."

"Of course." he replied, slightly embarrassed. "Well, I love you in, in, w-well, m-more than just..... a brotherly way. I-in a sinful way." he finished, seriously considering taking off before Itachi had the chance to hate him too much.

"Don't worry," he said. "I understand. And I don't hate you."

"Y-you don't?" Sasuke was amazed. "Why not?"

"Well, to be completely honest, it's because I feel the same way toward you." Sasuke was amazed.

"Really? No, this is just some horrible prank because now you hate me."

"I was serious, Sasuke. No joke." And with that said, he leaned down and kissed Sasuke softly on the lips. "I love you in the same, sinful, way." Sasuke was mentally paralyzed. He sat down and leaned against a tall oak tree. Itachi sat beside him. There was a long patch of silence.

"I love you, Itachi." Sasuke said so quietly that only Itachi could hear him (not that anyone else was listening).

"I love you too, Sasuke." Itachi replied in the same volume. Sasuke leaned his head on his brother's shoulder. They sat together in silence for a long time. 'Things are going to be alright from now on.' Sasuke thought. And they were.

THE END

AUTHOR'S NOTE:Well? Was that good or what? Yeah, so Itachi x Sasuke may not be everybody's favorite pairing scene it's brother x brother, but I enjoyed writing it and I think this was my best work EVAH!!!! That and the fact that I'm an Uchihacest fan myself. If you didn't like it then I'm sorry I wasted your life.

GO UCHIHACEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
