WE MEET AGAIN
Mikoto : We'll have a guest tomorrow everyone, she would be staying here for 3 weeks.
Sasuke : Who will be our guest mom?
Itachi : Yeah mom. Who's the lady?
Mikoto –( giggles ) You'll see dear.
Itachi : alright mom.
( Sasuke frowns ) Her giggles…. They used to be music in my ears.. ( he thought )
Mikoto : you two seem to be getting along well. You always have dinner fights then.
Itachi : I figured that brother fights are just too.. "kid like"
Sasuke : yepp. He's right.
Fugaku : It's nice that you two are finally grown up.
Both : Yeah dad.
( Itachi stood )
Itachi : Thanks for dinner. I'll be in my room. Oh, and sasuke, come by my room later okay?
Sasuke : sure bro.
Fugaku : I better get some rest too. Goodnight dear ( he kissed her in the cheek ) goodnight sasuke.
Sasuke : goodnight dad.
( the two were left )
Sasuke : so mom. It's just the two of us again. Need some help with the dishes?
Mikoto : No thank you honey. Why don't you bond with itachi? I'm sure he misses spending time with you since he worked and you were in japan.
Sasuke : would it be okay?
Mikoto : Of course!
Sasuke : thanks mom. ( he stood up and kissed her in the cheek too )
Mikoto : I love you honey.
Sasuke : goodnight mom. I love you too. ( he ran up stairs )
( mikoto frowns ) I'm so sorry for not telling you sasuke. I hope it won't hurt you that much ( she thought )
( door opens )
Sasuke : hey bro.
Itachi : yo sasuke.
( sasuke jumped in itachi's queen sized bed with a comic book while itachi's playing in the computer )
Sasuke : What's up?
Itachi : Nothing much. Life seems to be….. stable.. you?
Sasuke : normal.
Itachi : Dear bro.. don't you have a life?
Sasuke : I do. It's a mess. How are you and ayame?
Itachi : I think we'll get married soon.
Sasuke : really?? That's great! Did you propose already?
Itachi : not yet. How about you? You have a girl friend already?
Sasuke : no ( frowns )
Itachi : She's taken?
Sasuke : ….
Itachi : You can trust me.. sasuke..
Sasuke : We've been BESTFRIENDS since ever. Then she had a boyfriend and then she can't see me anymore but I love her although she didn't know so I ran away and she stole my first kiss and she called me suke and she has the most cutest giggle and I still can't let her go up until now because I love her too much that I gave her all my strength and mind and heart and if I could just marry her I would and then a year later she sent me a letter and she said she broke up with her boyfriend and told me she loves me and I'm becoming crazier every day, every hour, every minute, every second and I don't know what to do anymore but I FEEL SO EMPTY WITHOUT HER!!
( he spoke without breaks )
( Itachi didn't blink at all )
Sasuke : come on bro help me out here. What do I do?
Itachi : Who is she again?
Sasuke : It's the pink girl. Remember?
Itachi : I remember her! She is really cute by the way.
Sasuke : I know.
Itachi : I say win her back. But you said she said she loves you right? So it would be easier this time.
Sasuke : would it really be easier this time?
Itachi : not really.
Sasuke : I might get hurt again.
Itachi : sasuke.. sasuke.. sasuke..
Sasuke : what?
Itachi : What you said.. doesn't that mean you don't care if you get hurt if it's for her?
Sasuke : yes..
Itachi : then what's that I might get hurt again about. Face your fears sasuke. Don't be selfish.
Sasuke : do you think she wasn't selfish when she told me off?
Itachi : that's not it at all bro.
Sasuke : then what is it?
Itachi : you risk your own happiness for hers... that's it.
Sasuke : ...
( Itachi stood up )
Itachi : I'm going to get some milk. You want something?
Sasuke : no thanks... why milk?
Itachi : I'm a growing boy sasuke ( he joked and went out of the room )
Sasuke : ( sighs ) Itachi's right...

Itachi : I got the perfect plan.
Mikoto : Would it be alright?

Itachi : are you going out tomorrow?
Sasuke : I don't think so.
Itachi : good.
Sasuke : Why?
Itachi : nothing.
Sasuke : It's obvious that you're hiding something from me. If I can trust you, you can trust me too right?
Itachi : right. but I'm not hiding anything from you.
