A/N
I have a tendency to only write in the holidays or when I'm completely stress free. And guess what? It's the holidays again! So in lieu of my three week break I'm going to try and pump out part of a new story. I do hope to go back and update my KuroBasu story was well.
This story is inspired by some of the things around me, most namely the music I play. I wanted to try to express something I really feel in my writing, and I thought this was one way to go about that. I hope you enjoy!

Sasuke was five years old the first time he saw his brother play in a concert.
Sasuke sat in between his parents, hands locked neatly in his lap. His legs hung limply with no way of reaching the ground from the plush red chair. Above him, he could hear his father talking about Itachi's achievements to his colleague on his other side.
His mother finally decided to redirect the conversation. "It won't be long before Sasuke picks up the violin as well." She looked down at him with a smile. "You'll be even better than your brother, right Sasuke?"
Sasuke grinned broadly, bobbing his head proudly. His father smiled fondly, albeit briefly, before facing the front of the auditorium again. Just then, the room fell silent as the announcer spoke over the P.A.
"Now we will have our final competitor for the night. Competing in the Open Instrumental Championship at age ten, we have Itachi Uchiha. Tonight he will be performing Bach's Sonata in E Minor."
Sitting there in the audience, clutching the sleeve of his mother's shirt, Sasuke watched his brother walk to the centre of the stage. His striking ember eyes lifted to stare directly into his own, and Sasuke wondered where his brother had gone. Then, Itachi's bow touched the bridge.
Sasuke started playing the piano when he was six years old.
