Whispers before Promises

Hey guys! I only got two reviews for the first chapter, but I don't want to wait to review! Haha.

Dragon77: Thank you very much! This is my first ItaSasu, and I am very glad you like it! Thank you for your review!

You Know Me: Yes, yes I DO know you! I'm not sure if I'm going to do a lemon so soon. Maybe later. Thanks for the review!!

MitshuiLuv: Yeah, Short-ney. I know you don't like this pairing, but please give it a chance? For your buddeh?? Thanks for the review!

-Itachi's POV-

I arrived at the compound shortly after Sasuke fell asleep. As soon as I walked inside, with my otouto in my arms, I saw my father in front of me. He didn't look happy. His face turned stone cold when he seen Sasuke in my arms. "You missed training, Itachi. You were late because you allowed that little monster to convince you to take him to the park!"

"I was the one who asked him if he wanted to go, leave Sasuke out of this! Now, if you will excuse me, I'm going to sleep" I turned and started walking to my room. I didn't bother bringing Sasuke to his room. I thought he would like to sleep in my room for tonight.

I placed him underneath the covers on the bed, and slipped in beside him. I wrapped my arm around him and he started to stir. "Mm. Aniki? Is that you?" he asked in a groggy voice. I smiled and pulled him closer.

"Yes, Sasuke, it's me." I answered and felt him squirm slightly, looking around. "Why am I in your room aniki? I thought you hated it when I was in here..." my smile faded. Had he forgotten what happened earlier?

I grabbed his chin and lifted his face to mine. "Sasuke, I love you. I don't care if you are in my room. I just thought you might want to sleep in my room for tonight" I looked away in fake sadness. "But, if you don't want to, I guess I will bring you back to your room."

I started to pick him up, but he squirmed and gripped onto my shirt. "No, no! I want to stay!" Smiling, I placed him back down and started to tickle him. "Thought so" he squealed and started to laugh.

"A-aniki! S-stop, I c-can't breath!" he giggled out. "Dear otouto, you are being quite loud. You might want to be quieter, before mom or dad hears you and decided to come check up on us."

"I-I'm s-sorry -gasp- a-aniki! I can't –gasp- h-help it!" his words were soon muffled as I pushed my lips onto his. The pressure of my body was holding him down. He stopped laughing, and looked directly into my eyes.

I slowly pulled away and smiled at him. "I told you to be quiet otouto. I don't like being ignored." he nodded and looked away. "Aniki? Do you think I can stop calling you Aniki, since I don't think of you as my aniki..."

At first I was taken aback, but then I realized it was a compliment, since he loved me. "Of course, Sasuke. You can call me whatever you want." his eyes lit up and he gave me a hug. "Thank you Itachi! Um... Itachi?" I nodded and did a 'go on' motion. "Yes?"

"I'm thirsty... Can you come with me to get a drink?" I laughed quietly and stood up. He followed me, and stood up also. I reached under his armpits and held him at my hip. "I'm not a baby! I can walk!" he said, pouting. I shrugged him off and started walking into the kitchen.


We made it into the kitchen and I placed him onto the floor. "Alright, Sasuke, what do you want to drink?" he looked at me, then the fridge, then back at me. "Um... I, uh, I don't think I'm thirsty anymore" he said blushing.

I deadpanned. Was he serious? I sighed "alright. Let's just go back to bed." he looked down and put his arms in the air. Gently, I picked him back up and headed for my room. I was just going to put him on my bed when he stopped me.

"Wait! I've got to go to the bathroom" he said. Looking at him, I asked "How do you have to pee? You didn't drink anything. he didn't respond. "Alright, you know where the bathroom is" I placed him down and he just stared at me. "Sasuke, you are old enough to go to the bathroom by yourself" I said, trying, and almost failing to ignore his puppy dog eyes.

"Please Itachi. I'm scared" One could almost hear the tears in his voice. I put my hand on my forehead, and grabbed his hand. "Fine. But be quick, alright? You need to rest." He nodded and pulled me into the bathroom.

"Sasuke. I don't think I actually need to be in the bathroom with you..." I said turning around. I really didn't care, but I still respected him as a brother enough to wait until he is older for those kinds of things.

He went to the bathroom, washed his hand (for 30 seconds, just to please you clean freaks!), and we headed back for the bedroom. Once we got there, we lied down and I put my arm around his small frame. He rolled around and cuddled up to my chest and I started to hear his breath even out.

I wondered how he could possible fall asleep so fast, and then decided to follow his lead. I closed my eyes, and slowly drifted off into a dreamless sleep. I didn't even notice that through the slight opening in my door stood a figure, watching us as we slept.


Hiya! Who is this figure?! I don't actually know. I'm just ad-libbing as I go along! XD. Drop me a review and tell me what you though! Thanks!
