It was a warm, sunny day out and Itachi and Sasuke were playing a nice game of hide and seek in their backyard.
Sasuke was looking around for his brother, not having a single clue where he could be hiding. The young Uchiha often had trouble finding his brother when he was the seeker, but Itachi always manages to find him so easily. However, Sasuke didn't care. He was just happy he could play with his nii-san today.
Sasuke wandered around their whole backyard, but he still couldn't find Itachi.
Little did Sasuke know, Itachi was hiding in a bush right behind him. The older Uchiha observed his baby brother search their backyard with no luck of finding him. Once he heard a tiny annoyed grunt emerge from his brother, Itachi decided to give his otouto a chance by ever so slightly shaking the bush.
Sasuke's head perked up when he heard a slight rustle from the bush behind him, causing him to race towards it. He looked through the bush to find Itachi crouched down behind it.
"Found you, Ita-nii!" the four year old said happily.
Itachi rewarded his brother with a smile. "Good job otouto! I'm impressed that you noticed me."
Sasuke smiled back, his cheeks a soft rosy colour. "Your turn to find me now, nii-san!"
Itachi nodded as Sasuke ran off. The Uchiha prodigy had only begun counting when his mother walked outside.
"Itachi, dinner is ready. Could you get Sasuke and come inside?" Mikoto asked, drying her hands on her apron.
"Hai, kaa-san" Itachi answered, as he ran off to find Sasuke.
Sasuke was hiding behind a tree, trying his best to stay quiet.
Hiding behind a tree doesn't seem like a good hiding spot, but their backyard was huge. It was covered with trees, almost like a forest, and it kept you out of sight until the seeker was in the general area you're in.
Sasuke looked behind the tree, checking to see if Itachi was coming. Luckily, he didn't see him. He turned back around and found Itachi standing in front of him with an amused smile on his face.
Sasuke gasped in surprise.
"Found you otouto." Itachi said amusement in his voice.
Sasuke pouted. "Awwe, you always find me so easily, nii-san."
Itachi chuckled. How did his brother always manage to be so cute?
"Better luck next time, otouto." Itachi said. "Come on, we have to go now. Dinner is ready."
"Already? I was having so much fun." Sasuke complained.
"Sorry otouto. We can play another time." Itachi said, poking Sasuke's forehead. "Let's go, kaa-san is waiting."
Sasuke rubbed the abused spot as he started walking towards their house, Itachi following behind him.
After dinner, Mikoto asked Itachi to help Sasuke get ready for bed while she cleaned. The prodigy obediently did as he was told and brought his younger brother to the bathroom.
The older Uchiha helped his brother take a quick bath and brush his teeth. Sasuke prattled on about anything that came to the top of his head as Itachi listened, glad he got to spend some time with his brother.
Once they finished up in the bathroom, they headed towards Sasuke's room so Itachi could help the little Uchiha get into his pajamas.
When Sasuke was finally ready for bed, Itachi tucked Sasuke in and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.
Sasuke looked up at his brother with tired eyes.
"Nii-san?"
"Yes, Sasuke?" Itachi replied
"Can you tell me a story?" Sasuke asked.
Itachi smiled at Sasuke.
"Sure otouto." Itachi answered.
Itachi laid down beside Sasuke and pulled him in a hug. He began running his fingers through Sasuke's soft black hair as he began telling a story about a courageous ninja who saved the world from destruction and bringing about everlasting peace.
During the middle of his story, Itachi heard soft, deep breaths emanating from his brother.
He looked down to find Sasuke fast asleep.
Itachi smiled as he looked at his brother's adorable face as he slept soundly. His lips were slightly parted as deep breaths came in and out.
Itachi kissed the top of Sasuke's head.
"Sweet dreams, otouto"
