Here is the next chapter! I hope you enjoy it :) please review if you have the time. I do not own Naruto if that was unclear :) ha ha
Two days had gone by since Sasuke was first infected by his older brother who was now perfectly healthy again. He had just finished his reports for the day and was strolling back to his house. When he entered, a sick Sasuke looked up from his position on the couch.
Usually Sasuke would jump on Itachi the moment he walked through the door, but the last few days had been different since his little brother had contracted the same virus Itachi was suffering from days earlier.
The elder of the two walked to the couch and sat on the opposite side from little Sasuke. "How are you feeling today?"
"I guess a little better than I was yesterday," Sasuke answered, "but I'd be fine if you didn't cough all over me."
"It's not my fault you got in my face, but I am sorry for getting you sick." Itachi confessed. He cherishes his little brother above all else and felt guilty for making him feel ill. "I'll make it up to you, though. When you are feeling better, we can go train. I'll show you some new techniques."
Sasuke smiled. That sounded nice to him, but at the moment sleeping also sounded nice. He decided that he would skip dinner and go straight to bed since his stomach was out of sorts, similar to how Itachi previously felt. The young Uchiha got up and slowly made his way towards the stairs; when he arrived at the first step, a fit of coughing forced its way up his stinging throat and caused him to stop in his tracks.
His little body violently shook as he choked. Itachi examined the situation and rose from the couch. Sasuke felt himself being lifted off the ground and realized his big brother was picking him up. "I'll take you upstairs; let's go." He said kindly.
Sasuke leaned into his brother's chest. The two went to the upper level of the home and entered The younger's room. Itachi put Sasuke in his bed and examined his little brother. "You need to get some sleep; you look exhausted."
Sasuke forced his heavy eyes to meet his brother's. "Will you stay here with me?" He pleaded.
Itachi had to write a synopsis for a mission he was assigned to complete the following day, but seeing his younger brother's beseeching eyes made him have the desire to stay. He nodded silently and sat at the foot of Sasuke's bed. "I'll be right here if you need anything." Itachi promised as the boy started to nod off. "I'll always be right here for you."
