I tried really hard, but I failed because I'm a little shit. Sorry it sucks.
For Cayla. Happy birthday.
"Alright, we're leaving now! Bye, Itachi, Sasuke! Stay safe!"
As his mother and father left for their anniversary date, Itachi let out an exasperated sigh and flopped down on the couch next to Sasuke. He had been able to convince their parents that he was eight, almost nine, and responsible enough to take care of his five-year old brother without a babysitter.
Itachi looked down at Sasuke, who was tugging at Itachi's sleeve and grinning childishly. "Ani-san (*)! Fort! Fort!"
Itachi returned the grin with a small smile and a nod.
Together, they gathered all the pillows and blankets throughout their household, save the ones in their parents' room.
The two had obtained nine pillows (Sasuke had a bit of a pillow fetish) and three blankets (plus Sasuke's dinosaur plush).
Itachi pushed the coffee table further away from the couch and spread out one of the blankets out on floor. As soon as he finished laying it straight, Sasuke came in with their pillows and began designing the decor of their little "fort." As Sasuke did that, Itachi pulled the other two blankets over the table and couch, using things like lamps or picture frames to weigh the blankets down. This had created a small, strangely comfortable crawl space.
Sasuke had finished setting up all the pillows and refused to let Itachi rearrange any of them, which really screwed with his minor case of OCD, but he dealt with it.
"Puzzle!" Sasuke demanded. Itachi sighed. Sasuke was perfectly capable of using sentences with more than one word, and gave Itachi a head ache since he didn't.
"Alright, Otōto (**), which puzzle do you want?"
Sasuke grinned. "Dinosaur!" Itachi nodded and instructed Sasuke to stay. He went to Sasuke's room and got the puzzle.
Sasuke did not do as instructed.
Itachi let out another sigh and set the puzzle box down on the floor. His eye twitched as he called out, "Sasuke?"
He made his way to the kitchen, where crashing sounds could be heard. There, he found Sasuke reaching over the counter blindly. His small arms were knocking down everything in their path, searching frantically for Sasuke's favorite food.
As Itachi entered, Sasuke turned and flashed him another grin. "I want 'mato!" Itachi managed a small, tired smile and opened one of the cabinets, grabbing a tomato. Eyes filling with excitement, Sasuke nearly tackled the older Uchiha to retrieve the red fruit.
The brat chomped (***) his teeth into the tomato, which led to red juice spraying all over his face. Unfazed, Itachi opened a different cabinet and pulled out a paper towel. He pulled the tomato away from Sasuke (,without losing a finger,) and wiped the young raven's face. Before Sasuke could throw a tantrum, Itachi returned the tomato, to which Sasuke grinned and sunk his face into it again. When he finished, he looked up at Itachi, expecting another treat.
The little shit had tomato seed sliding down his chin.
This was going to be a long night.
*Ani-san: big brother
**Otōto: little brother
***PUN THAT WAS A PUN IN FAVOR OF YOUR BIRTHDAY
Completely winged this shit. Turned out extra crappy.
Sorry, I'll try hard next year. Maybe. Probably not.
Okay, yeah, thanks for reading and shit. Sorry for any OOCness, I don't really know their characters all that well. (Cayla, you need to teach me the Uchiha way XD)
Happy birthday (you know who you is), again, and thanks for putting up with my crap.
whispers: I love you, bby.
