Author's note: Hey guys, I was so pissed off when I wrote this. I had to calm down and listen to some classical music and this little one-shot popped up. I hope you all enjoy it!

Emotions of Song
Sitting down in front of the piano, Sasuke Uchiha closed his eyes, letting out a harsh sigh as his mind dwelled on the terrible events of this day. His fingers travelled over the keys, caressing the piano as if the instrument was a long lost lover. This was his sanctuary, the way he could remove all the bad things and just feel the music flow from within his soul out onto the black and white keys for all of the world to hear.
Harsh sounds emanated from the piano, fingers flying over the keys to play his anger out, but slowly the anger disappeared, tears falling from his closed eyes before he abruptly stopped playing, wrapping his arms around his middle. He felt like he was falling apart. Opening his unseeing eyes, he wiped away the tears, ignoring those which replaced the latters. It wasn't his fault. He had been born blind! The children didn't have to make his life more difficult, because he couldn't possibly hate himself more than he already did.
Choking on a sob, he didn't notice the quiet steps of another person as he placed his hand over his heart and clutched the soft fabric of his shirt. This pain was unbearable, death often seeming like a better option than living in this torment. Finally feeling the presence of the other person, he let out a blood curdling scream as arms wrapped around him from behind.
Covering the mouth of his young brother, Itachi shushed the young man, taking a seat next to him on the piano bench. He rocked them from side to side, not saying a word, only offering his silent comfort; something he learnt early in life his brother appreciated. Moving his hand to join the other, he allowed Sasuke to turn in his arms, letting out all his sorrows.
Itachi hated seeing the young man like this, but knew that nothing he did would make it stop and so he buried his aching heart, showing only his strong side to the youngest Uchiha. It was what Sasuke needed and Itachi would always look after his beloved little brother.
Author's note: This was very therapeutic for me, I hope it was the same for you. Please review and make my day.
