Hi! This is my fanfiction Advent Calendar about the Uchiha brothers and how they have been spending their Christmases together. There will be 24 chapters and I really hope that I manage to update all of them in time.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of its characters they all belong to Masashi Kishimoto.

Warnings: Some of the stories will contain yaoi which means boy x boy love and that also means Uchihacest which means that Itachi and Sasuke love each other more than ordinary brothers should so there will be at least kissing between them. Also the characters will be more or less OOC.

Pairing: Itachi x Sasuke

Sasuke's first Christmas

written by Black-servant

Itachi didn't really care about Christmas and he didn't really see the point in it. He had never been an ordinary child and his father had refused to let him believe in Santa clause like all the other kids did. His mother had wanted to tell Itachi about Santa clause and let him believe in it as long as it was possible but Fugaku had forbidden that instantly.

Fugaku Uchiha didn't want to have his prodigy acting childishly or to believe in some imaginary creature. Fugaku had allowed his wife to decorate and celebrate Christmas in other ways but he wasn't too happy about that either. In his mind Christmas was just an excuse to spend money on frivolous things and have people make fools of themselves. So there really never was any Christmas spirit in the Uchiha household no matter how hard Mikoto tried.

So Itachi didn't really have a reason to care about it. The young prodigy knew that Christmas wasn't really about the food, presents and all the decorations but about spending time with your loved ones and Itachi didn't really have loved ones. Sure he loved his mother but they just weren't that close because Itachi was always training or on missions but she was the only one who Itachi bought a present every year.

Mostly Itachi was okay with these things. Even thought he was only eight years old he was already very mature and a loner but sometimes he wished that there would be someone he could really spend Christmas with. Someone who could make him feel the true meaning of Christmas, love.

This year Itachi got his wish.

It was the 23rd of December and Itachi was for the first time excited about Christmas time. He was running around Konoha trying to find the perfect present for his little angel. The young prodigy was so happy and he kept looking for that perfect gift. Sometimes he halted to look inside the shops if there was anything that would catch his attention but so far nothing had been perfect enough.

Itachi continued his journey and it was starting to get dark when he stopped in front of a small toy store. He looked at all the toys displayed on the window until he spotted a small blue teddy bear sitting on a shelf. Itachi's eyes lit up in joy but otherwise his face remained expressionless. His father had taught him to never show any emotion and Itachi had noticed that in fights that was very useful but he also noticed that it made his mother very sad so he tried to show at least a little bit of emotion when he was with her. Usually Itachi was excellent when it came to covering his emotions but he had noticed that with his little angel it was impossible to maintain his emotionless façade because that little creature always made him smile.

Itachi entered the shop and asked the shopkeeper what the blue teddy bear on the window cost. The old lady behind the counter smiled at the small Christmas shopper and told him the prise. Itachi just nodded and told her that he would buy it. The lady smiled even wider and went to get the small teddy. Then she was about to hand it to Itachi but Itachi stopped her and asked:

"It's a present could you wrap it?"

"Well of course. You're a really thoughtful. Is it for someone special?"

The lady asked politely. Itachi only nodded a small almost unnoticeable smile rising to his lips as he thought about the gifts receiver. The shopkeeper laughed softly and showed Itachi what kind of wrapping papers and ribbons she had. Itachi chose a light blue wrapping paper and a dark blue ribbon for the present.

"Is blue her favourite colour?"

Itachi gave a look at the lady who was too busy wrapping the present to notice. "Does she really think that I'm going to give a present to some annoying girl…" Despite his thoughts Itachi decided to answer the lady after all it wasn't like she could know who he was going to give his gift to.

"I don't really know but I think so. At least blue suits him really well."

The lady was a bit surprised and confused at the answer but she didn't show it. She just continued wrapping the gift. When she was done she handed it to Itachi and took the money Itachi gave her for the teddy.

"Thank you and merry Christmas. I really hope he likes the gift."

"Merry Christmas and thank you."

Itachi answered and bowed politely to the shopkeeper and then he hurried to home.

"Mother I'm home."

Itachi announced when he finally arrived. It was already dark outside and Itachi was quite sure that his mother was already worried about him even thought there really wasn't any reason to it. Itachi was more than capable of taking care of himself. "That's probably a mother thing to worry about everything even thought there isn't anything to worry about." Itachi thought and his thoughts were confirmed when a worried Mikoto came to greet and hug him.

"Thank god you're home! I was worried about you Itachi. Where have you been? I thought that you wanted to spend Sasuke's first Christmas with him."

"I'm sorry mother but I went to buy Sasuke's Christmas present."

Itachi explained as patiently as he could. He was already anxious to go and see his little brother so he could give him his Christmas present and play with him. Mikoto smiled softly at her son, she was so happy that someone was able to make Itachi act like a human. She had been so worried and sad when Fugaku had forced her son to grow up way too fast. Thankfully their family had been gifted with another child. Sasuke was their bride and joy and Mikoto knew even thought it felt odd to think about it but Sasuke meant even more to Itachi. He was the only one who could make Itachi laugh and enjoy life.

Mikoto smiled at her son and told him that Sasuke was in the living room and that was all Itachi needed and he hurried there with the present in his arms.

The five month old baby was lying on top of a cover and he was chewing on one of his chewing toys when Itachi entered the room. The toy however was soon forgotten when the baby noticed his Aniki. Sasuke smiled and let out small gurgling noises as he tried to move towards his big brother. Itachi couldn't help but laugh at his Otouto. Sasuke was just so adorable. Itachi walked to the baby and sat on the floor next to Sasuke. Then he put the present on the floor and picked the small baby and hugged him tightly against himself.

"I missed you Otouto."

Itachi whispered gently. Sasuke just let out a small cooing noise.

Mikoto had come to stand at the door of the living room and she was just watching her boys a gentle smile on her lips. Fugaku had a mission so he wasn't home.

"I've a present for you Otouto!"

Itachi exclaimed and put Sasuke on his lap so that the baby was leaning on his chest and showed the present to him. Sasuke immediately grasped the shiny gift in his small hands. For a moment he just squeezed it until he realised that he could rip the paper. It didn't take long to get rid of the blue wrapping paper with little assistance from Itachi and now Sasuke was holding the blue teddy bear in his arms.

Itachi held his breathe. He knew that Sasuke was too small to really understand presents but he still hoped that his Otouto liked the gift he had gotten for him. Sasuke carefully inspected the soft bear in his hands until he hugged it tightly against himself. The action made both Itachi and Mikoto smile. Itachi hugged his little brother close to him and whispered sweet nothings to him lulling the small boy asleep.

When Mikoto saw this she told Itachi to go and but Sasuke to his bed since it was already over his normal sleeping time anyway. Itachi did as he was told. He rose to his feet with Sasuke and his new teddy tightly held in his arms. He went upstairs and into Sasuke's room that was right next to his own.

Carefully Itachi laid his precious angel into his cot. He tugged him gently under the covers and gave him a kiss on his tiny forehead. Sasuke just sighed contently and but his thumb into his mouth and hugged his teddy closer to his chest. Itachi smiled at his Otouto with love shining in his eyes.

"Merry Christmas Otouto!"
