Am I foolish aniki?
Part 1?
"Aniki!"
Naruto woke up when he heard a loud cry from Sasuke, who was sleeping not so peacefully beside him, he was trashing and there was a thin layer of sweat on his pale skin. Had Uchiha Itachi somehow entered the camp without Kakashi-sensei noticing? The missing-nin was good, but Naruto didn't think that Kakashi would be so much behind, besides, nobody had seen him anywhere near here in a long time. No, Sasuke must be still sleeping, dreaming about his brother, Itachi.
"No aniki! Don't go..." "Please..." Sasuke whined in his sleep with a weak voice. Naruto looked at his team mate, his friend. The dream didn't seem to be too nightmarish, at least it was not a very bad nightmare anymore, so Naruto didn't bother to try to wake the black haired teen up. Last time he wasn't thinking clearly and when he did that the other boy almost hit him while still sleeping. A good ninja should wake up when shaken, but Sasuke had just turned his back to the blond boy. Not that that meant he was a unqualified to be a ninja, but that there was still things he needed to work on. Of course there was no way that Naruto would ever tell him that, he wasn't that stupid and knew that Sasuke would beat him up for it.
"Aniki I miss you..."
Naruto sighed, now he was pretty sure that Sasuke didn't hate his brother anymore, he had suspected so for a while now even when Sasuke insisted otherwise. He had started wondering if something was bothering his friend as he saw Sasuke become even more irritated and troublesome every time they saw brothers playing together, or other family related things. Naruto had quickly identified it as jealousy as he had felt the same at one point. The sad look that Sasuke always got on his face lasted only about two seconds, but it was enought for Naruto to notice it, he noticed more things than people thought he did. Sasuke was clearly tired of being alone, and he didn't mean "without friends" kind of alone, but a "without family" kind of one. He could easily sympathisize with that, not that he knew exactly what the other boy was feeling. Naruto himself had first been always alone, so he hadn't known what he was missing and now he had Iruka, who was like a father to him.
"Aniki..."
The plea snapped Naruto out of his thoughts and he looked at the sleeping Sasuke again. A solitary tear made it's way to Sasuke's almost white cheek and over his smooth skin, glistening in the pale moonlight that penetrated the thin material of the small tent they were currently sleeping in. / Sasuke would probably kill me if he knew I saw him crying, sleeping or not. / Naruto thought, a slight smile forming on his lips, before changing in to a full fox grin as thoughts swirled in his mind. Maybe he could find Sasuke's "aniki" for him...
