The screen ripples before it shows a building. The cries of a newborn baby could be heard. It zooms in on the window and a baby is seen crying. the baby is wrapped in a cream colored blanket wiggling and waving his arms around him.
All the fangirls screamed and aaawed and cooed at aby Sasuke. Some even called out to the real Sasuke but the young uchiha failed to hear their cries. in fact he failed to hear anything except for the screen. Sasuke pushed foreward in his seat leaning toward the screen as close as he could without drawing anymore attention to himself than he already was.
we see Mikoto in a hospital room holding the crying infant yet to receive a name. Fugaku is standing by her bedside. Itachi is next to his father also standing by the bed side staring blankly with a glint of curiosity in his dark eyes. Mikoto smiles as she cooes at her new baby boy.
There are so many things Sasuke wants to say in that moment. There are so many things he wants to do. he wants to reach through the screen and envelope his parents in a hug. he wants to tell them how much he loves them. he wants to show his father how much he's grown. butmost importantly he wanted to tell his mother that she was right. It wasnt training. It was only practice. the best Sasuke could do was gasp out one word.
"Mom..." Sasuke whispers his eyes filling with regret. he Should have gotten home from shuriken practice sooner. Tears welled up in Sasuke's eyes but he held them back for two reasons. the second reason was that he didn't want anyone mainly Itachi see him cry. The first and most important reason was that he didn't want his vision to blur from the tears. He wouldn't even blink not even for a second. He wanted to remember every detail of his mothers smiling face. even his fathers practically emotionless look meant the world to Sasuke.
"It's a boy! Your little brother!" Mikoto informs Itachi.
He takes a few steps foreward and pokes Sasuke in the cheek.
Sasuke scowls and crosses his arms. Slumping slightly in his set. He had almost forgotten about his brother. his dear older brother. He wipes his cheek against his shoulder looking disgusted with his baby self. Granted his brother hadn't seemed like a cold blooded murderer back then but he should have smacked itachi's finger for poking him or something.
Mikoto smiles as Fugaku takes the baby put of her arms and cradles it. He looks at the baby fondly.
Sasuke watched his fathers expression intently. His lips quirked before falling. At least for one small moment his dad hadn't immediately compared him to his brother.
"Have you thought of a name yet?" Mikoto asked her eyes closing in a smile.
"Yes. Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha" Fugaku stated with a joyful smile of his own.
Sasuke gaped at the screen and a smile of his own creeped onto hs face. His fathe was happy.
"Oh that's a nice name but..." Mikoto trailed.
"But what?...don't just cut off her sentences!" Sasuke snapped enraged at the screen hands flying to grip his arm rest in rage. How dare this thing!
"You're yelling a an object that can't understand you Sasuke" Itachi sighed shaking his head.
"it deserves it Itachi! Wait why am i even talking to you? I don't need to justify anything to you" Sasuke responded with a slight shake of his head. he shouldn't waste his breathe on his... blood brother. yes Sasuke decided. that was what Itachi was. Simply blood nothing more and nothing less.
"foolish little brother your still so blind" Itachi said his voice a sigh. If only Sasuke would learn.
"better to be blind then to be heartless" Sasuke shot back instantly. he didn't know why he replied to his brother but he just did. it was like an instinct that as returning from his childhood. A habit he just couldn't shake. like favoring his left hand over his right despite it not being normal. he idly wondered if h should have told anyone he liked using his left better than his right. oh well too late now.
The image cut off it showed a finger wiggling. A second later two tiny hands reach out and grab it in an iron grip. Baby Sasuke is smiling and laughing having the time of his little life as he played with his brothers finger.
"not a word" Sasuke growled his charcoal eyes narrowing. This was so embarassing. he could hear Naruto's grin as he snickered at him.
"your the only one talking Sasuke" Itachi pointed out.
"i wasn't talking to you! Everything isn't centered around you Itachi! Not anymore!" Sasuke snapped.
Itachi inwardly flinched and said nothing more. he longed to explain to Sasuke how he had never done it intentonally but figuered the video would do that for him.
"naruto shut up" Sasuke warned.
naruto continued to laugh his blue eyes sparkling. He was getting such good black mail to use on the teme later.
"naruto i mean it"
a few seconds passed before naruto and sasuke started a fist fight. the two punched and kicked and rolled on the floor finally stopping in font of itachi where Sasuke was once sitting.
"stop it!" Sakura screamed at the boys again leaping from her seat to try and get inbetween the boys.
Itachi turned his head to kakashi and initated a timespace genjutsu.
"aren't you going to break this up?'itachi questioned the elder ninja and once mentor.
"mah they do this at least once a day. it improves their teamwork. They usually stop in a moment. i'll show you" Kakashi stated.
Itachi gave him a quizzical look but nodded releasing the jutsu. Itachi turned his head back to his brother and his brother best friend a bt worriedly. Were they beginning to turn blue?
"boys thats enough!" Kakashi barked at them his icha icha snapping shut for dramatic affect. the boys froze as the sound echoed throughout the room. the boys shared a look before they each simultaneously loosened their grip and rolled away from each other gasping for breath.
"what?" Sasuke gasped out as he questioned his smirking brother with a glare as he panted.
"foolish little brother. do you have a death wish?"
"yes i wish for your death." Sasuke smoothly responded with a smirk.
"damn kid really is your brother" Kisame commented.
Sasuke flipped kisame off with a glare. He had just been forgetting what it felt like to be compared to Itachi. Sasuke guessed the universe would never let him forget. Sasuke hated the universe. So of course that was the moment the universe decided to hate him back.
