It was 2:00 in the morning, For hours Sasuke had waited for that front door to open, No sign of Itachi coming home, He sighed, He heard someone come down the stairs, He turned to see it was his mother.
"Honey, You should be asleep, It's late." Mikoto says.
"I know...But...I wanted to wait for Itachi to come home..." Sasuke replies.
Mikoto sighed, She walked up and sat next to Sasuke wrapping an arm around her younger boy comforting him.
"Itachi will come home when he's ready, He would want you to rest." Mikoto says.
Sasuke sighs. "I know..."
"Now go to bed." Mikoto says with a warm smile getting up from the couch going to the kitchen to get a drink of water.
Sasuke took a deep breath, he said nothing else, he looked at the door silently once more and stood up and went upstairs to his room to go to sleep, Falling asleep would be hard but he managed to catch some sleep.
Possibly minutes or even hours passed, It was around 9:00 am, Sasuke was laying on his side facing away from the door, He wasn't asleep he was just looking at the window or even the walls around him. He heard the door open but he didn't bother to look up for it was most likely his parents mainly probably his mother checking in on him.
He felt the person lay down next to him, It must have been Itachi, Sasuke turned to face him, Sasuke immediately cuddled up close to Itachi, Itachi held him close.
"I'm sorry I left you here..." Itachi whispers.
"Don't worry about it, I'm just glad your home, Nii-San." Sasuke replies.
Itachi says nothing and kisses his younger brother's head lovingly.
"I love you, Itachi." Sasuke says finally able to fall asleep.
"I love you too...Sasuke...I'm not going to let anyone tear us apart." Itachi replies joining him.
