Sasuke's little feet carried him through Konoha, not on his way home but on his way to his brother, who had just moved out a few weeks ago.

He has had no opportunity to see his brother ever since he moved and today he wanted to make sure to at least see him for a few minutes.

His father wouldn't be happy if he found out, his brother was very busy.

After quite a long walk Sasuke had finally found his big brothers house, shyly he went up to the wooden door and rang the doorbell.

For a moment nothing happened, Sasuke started to worry. Was Itachi even home? Was he doing something important? would Itachi even want to see him?

Sasuke had successfully pushed those thoughts away on the way but now he couldn't stop them, fortunately, the door opened and his brother did indeed look happy to see him.

Sasuke was allowed in, Itachi's home was quite small when compared to their family's home.

From where he stood at the entrance he could see a couch, the kitchen as well as doors leading to other rooms, the garden and a ladder which seemed to lead to the second story.

The room they were in was quite empty. the couch seemed to be the only bit of furniture in the room.

Itachi left Sasuke's side and went into the kitchen only to return with a first aid kit, explaining that it wouldn't be good to leave all the cuts open that Sasuke had sustained from his training.

Sasuke wouldn't mind being treated by Itachi but remembering that he had barely spent any time training that day and had sustained quite a few cuts and scratches, he felt embarrassed.

His brother rarely ever got hurt during training, while he did all the time.

It was still nice being treated by Itachi unlike their father, he wouldn't tell him that he was a disappointment.

Sasuke had always been held to a high standard, he was supposed to be perfect like his brother, yet he never could match was - in his mind - something only Itachi had ever and would ever achieve.

Sasuke stayed with his brother till late at night falling asleep next to him on the couch as Itachi read a story for him.

Notes:

I'm actually more of an artist than a writer but there are still things I'd rather write than draw for the sake of time and my poor hand.

Still, I hope that these little stories are enjoyable. ( I know it's only one story as of yet but I will upload more! )

If you are interested in the art part's of this AU go and visit me on Tumblr my account name is minai28 ( I'd link it but I can't )
