It was a warm day in Konoha but Itachi wasn't aware of it. He was currently sprawled out across his bed with a pillow over his head to block out the sunlight that was streaming in through his window. It wasn't often that he got to have a lazy lay in day, but boy was he ever taking advantage of it. It was past noon and the long haired man still hadn't moved an inch. To him it was pure bliss. He never seemed to get enough sleep and this was all he wanted to do. He'd even thrown a blanket over his alarm clock so he could avoid seeing the time should he wake up. If he'd known it was past noon he might be bothered enough to get up, but not today.
His plans wouldn't go fully as he wanted though. A frustrated and bored Sasuke paced the hall of their house and kept glancing at this brother's door. He'd been up since nine and had been bored for hours. There was only so much day time television a teenager could take! He was getting up the nerve to do something as he paced like this. He knew that there could be a few possible outcomes and one of them could very well be his early death. He was going to die anyway, of boredom, if Itachi didn't get up soon! Finally after getting the courage he tip toed over to the door of his brother's room and poked his head inside after getting it open. Just as he thought, Itachi was still asleep, basking in the sun like some sort of cat. A grin crept over Sasuke's face upon seeing the sleeping form of his older brother and he pushed the door open silently, and further. The younger Uchiha took a few steps back, and then suddenly ran for it, leaping into the air and then diving onto Itachi."Niisan, Niisan! Wake up!"
Itachi had been blissfully unaware of what was going on around him, that pillow that was over his head muffling sounds but it did nothing to stop the sudden weight of his younger brother landing on his stomach. He jerked awake with a grunt and threw the pillow off of him, tired glaring eyes now staring down at his brother who was grinning at him and now cuddling up to his side as if he'd done nothing wrong. Itachi groaned seeing that face and threw his arm over his eyes, desperately wanting to go back to sleep but knowing that it wasn't going to happen any time soon. "We need to get you video games or something to entertain you." He mumbled and he heard the soft laugh of his brother.
"Why would I want video games when I have my amazing niisan to keep me company?" He asked, adding the amazing part in to butter Itachi up into not being upset that he'd been woken up. Of course Itachi saw right through that, but it didn't stop him from enjoying the the compliment anyway.
"Well your amazing niisan is going back to sleep, so I'm afraid he wont be the best company." Hearing that made Sasuke almost pout, a trait that had followed him from childhood and into his teen years, but he held it back.
"You're such a liar, niisan. You aren't going back to sleep...are you?" He'd sounded so sure at first but seeing that Itachi wasn't moving and seeing that arm still over his eyes he wasn't so sure. Sasuke reached up and latched his hands around his brother slender arm and tugged meeting resistance; Itachi keeping his arm stiff so his brother couldn't pull it away.
The smaller Uchiha grunted and tugged, his tongue sticking out a little ways as he did his best to remove that arm from his brother's eyes. He was already more entertained than he had been watching TV, his grinning face more than showed that. "You're..not..going..back to ..sleep..niisan!" He said, grunting and struggling with that arm the whole time.
Itachi had hoped that his brother might get bored enough tugging on his arm to leave him alone, but that didn't seem the case so he finally let his younger brother win, and he felt his arm being tugged down and then pinned under Sasuke's weight. "Ha! Now you can't cover your eyes. You have to get up now, Itachi-nii." Hearing that almost made Itachi smile, but he just calmly placed his second arm over his eyes and sighed with contentment.
Sasuke's eyes narrowed at the second offending appendage like his glare alone was going to scare if off. "That's not fair, niisan! Come on. Get up! You've been sleeping all day!" Sasuke then flopped over the older male dramatically, one arm and one leg sprawled across him and he then huffed out a breath against the man's arm he was still laying on.
The elder Uchiha brother grunted feeling the added weight of his brother on him again and yawned. He did have his reasons to want to keep sleeping. After all he hadn't gotten in bed until around eight AM because of his duties. He didn't have anything to do today so he thought he'd finally get to lie in. Perhaps he still had a chance. "You should take a nap Sasuke." He said, again yawning and then rolling to his side to face his brother, letting him keep his leg over him for the time being. If he could get Sasuke to sleep it would solve all of their problems. Itachi would get to sleep and Sasuke would no longer be bored.
"Nani! A nap? How old do you think I am, niisan? Seven?" Sasuke sounded offended at the very idea. He was a teenager after all. Teenagers didn't need naps. They had energy to spare! He could be up all day and all night and still keep going sometimes. He never slept much at night anyway, always being a busy body of sorts. He'd often be out training, and he knew that was one thing he could do, but he'd really had his heart set on spending time with his brother today. Of course it would just happen to be the day that he'd want to do nothing but sleep. Now that pout crept onto the younger Uchiha's face, but he snuggled in closer to his brother anyway and tucked his head under his chin.
Spiky raven locks tickled Itachi's face and he shifted his head around to try and avoid them to no avail. With a small sigh he opened his eyes and looked down at Sasuke, seeing the pout on his lips. "Well now that you mention it, you do look to be about seven with that pout on your lips." His slender and long finger reached out and poked the pout on his brother's mouth, and Sasuke then nipped at it grumpily.
"I do not look seven, niisan." He said, sounding just as grumpy as he was acting now. He shut his eyes and turned his head away from the older male, but Itachi couldn't help but notice that Sasuke wasn't going anywhere. He really wasn't going to give up was he?
"Otouto..."He stared but only heard a huff from the younger. His hand came up into his brother's hair and petted through the spikes, feeling the silky smoothness of it through his fingers. "I'm going to make you a deal. Don't say anything until I'm finished!" He said before the younger cloud interrupt him like he was so prone to doing. "Good. Now listen. I will spend the rest of the day, and night with you if...you let me sleep for another two hours. The rest of the day and night...and I'll take you out to eat where ever you like. Deal?"
Sasuke was of course silent through what his brother had said and his eyes had already lit up at the idea of getting to spend so much time with his brother before he sweetened the deal with dinner. He smirked that sly looking smirk of his and sighed, looking down so his brother couldn't see his face. He wanted to make it seem like he was taking a dive here with this, even though he was getting more than he wanted. "Okkkaayyy, I guess. Only two though! I'm setting your alarm!" With that he hopped out of his brother's bed and yanked the blanket off the alarm, throwing it backwards where it hit Itachi squarely in the face. He heard a muffled few words of annoyance from his brother and then turned his head back to grin at him. "Sorry Itachi-nii." He said and then went about setting the alarm.
Itachi grumbled a little bit about the alarm idea and even more so after getting hit with the blanket, but he just used it to cover up and get more comfortable. Right now he was just happy to know that he'd be getting more sleep. He sighed and settled down into his pillows and tossed his blanket over him as his brother set his alarm. He wasn't ready for what happened next, his brother once again jumping onto his bed, but at least not on him this time. He bounced a little and opened his eyes to the teen, seeing him turning over and scooting back so he was snuggled up to the man, now under the blankets as well. Itachi's eyebrow rose at this and he then watched as Sasuke reached back and took his arm, pulling it over his side. "I thought that you didn't want to take a nap..." He started only to be interrupted by his brother.
"Shh! I'm trying to sleep, niisan." He said, and Itachi could hear the grin in his voice. The older Uchiha rolled his eyes but he no longer questioned his brother. He settled down behind him and then scooted close to him before he shut his eyes once more and held him close. It wasn't ever strange to the two of them to sleep together, they were just close and always had been. Sasuke had been sleeping with him since he was a young boy. Rather than ever run into their parents room when he'd been scared, he'd always come to Itachi. It was rather comfortable for the older Uchiha and warm and the same for Sasuke. Though he hadn't really been tired, he found himself drifting off to sleep soon enough, Itachi following right after.
