I don't own Naruto.
12th One Shot-Happy Birthday!
Itachi slumped down on his bed in the Uchiha household. He spent the whole day avoiding everyone he knew because today was his birthday. He hated his birthday. Everyone became too nice towards him (even Izumi went easy on him in training, she never does that). Itachi was really glad this day was over.
"Uh, Nii-san," mumbled Sasuke, shyly, entering his room. The four year old Sasuke was hiding something behind his back.
"Yes, Sasuke," asked Itachi, trying to mask his annoyance, but obviously failed as Sasuke looked like he was about to cry. Itachi winced and tried a softer tone. "What is it Sasuke?"
"Happy Birthday, Nii-san," said Sasuke handing his older brother a poorly wrapped gift. Itachi opened it. The gift was simple—a necklace made out of string and shells (Sasuke probably got them on the Uchiha trip to the beach). "Do-do you like it Nii-san?" Itachi smiled.
"Yes, thank you very much," said Itachi, ruffling his hair. Sasuke grinned and hugged Itachi around the waist.
"I've got the best big brother in the world, love you Nii-san," said Sasuke.
"Love you too, Sasuke."
