Siblings
By: Silverwolf
Sasuke and Naruto sit playing. Though everything Naruto built from blocks Sasuke sent craching to the floor. Itachi lies across the floor coloring. That is until Naruto leaves his game when Sasuke sends his tower falling to the floor. The blonde looks at Itachi. The seven year old kicks his feet a bit as he colors his picture. Itachi makes a face as he notices Naruto. He pulls a page from the coloring book in silence and holds it out. Naruto grins widely and lies next to Itachi. The older of the pair hands over a few crayons. Naruto begins scribbling away.
Itachi looks towards Sasuke as his brother begins constructing a new tower. If anything Sasuke had a habit of making Naruto leave whatever toy he was playing with. In a way it was as if the tot was picking on the blonde. Itachi places a crayon in the box. He watches Naruto remain with the crayons lying in the floor. The raven child smirks. At least his younger sibling wouldn't be breaking his school crayons. Naruto looks at Itachi, "more?"
Itachi digs through the pencil box to place a few more crayons down. Naruto claps his hands lightly. Itachi rolls his eyes. He didn't understand the blonde completely, but he also didn't think the blonde understood all of them completely. Naruto squeals as Sasuke crushes a crayon under his foot.
Itachi sighs and moves the crayons away from his brother. He pulls Sasuke back to the block tower and shoves it down. The tot squeals. Itachi returns to his picture as Mikoto enters the room. "What is going on here?" Itachi continues coloring. Naruto reaches towards Itachi. The older of the pair digs through his pencils box for more loose crayons. Though only the crayon box contained every color it wouldn't matter to the tot. Naruto holds the picture up for Mikoto.
"Mama, look." Mikoto smiles towards Naruto's picture. "That's very good." She walks over towards Sasuke's blocks and begins to place a few from the floor towards the top. Sasuke places three more on top of those. They all fall to the fall. Sasuke laughs loudly. Mikoto looks at Itachi, "are you aggravating your brothers?" The seven year old shakes his head and turns a page in his coloring book.
Naruto looks at Itachi, "more?" Itachi begins to flip through the pages of the book until he seems satisfied he's found one he's willing to part with. Itachi tears the page from the book. Naruto takes it with a grin. The blonde tot returns to coloring. Mikoto places the first pages from Naruto on a table. Itachi returns to the page he was going to start.
Sasuke begins placing dinosaurs on top of his block tower. The tot squeals when everything falls to the floor. Mikoto shakes her head lightly. Sasuke laughs loudly and begins building again. Mikoto returns to washing the dishes while her children seem busy.
As Mikoto places the last dish away she feels someone pull at her clothing. Mikoto looks down to see Naruto. "Juice?" Mikoto smirks a moment as Sasuke appears. The tot takes Naruto's empty zippy cup. Mikoto sighs and takes the cup from Sasuke. "Don't take from your brother." Sasuke whines when he's scolded. Mikoto sighs, "none of that now. You know stealing your brother's cup is wrong."
Mikoto takes a sippy cup from the cabinet. She steps towards the refrigerator to get both toddlers juice. Sasuke disappears with the sippy cup in hand. Naruto stands with Mikoto drinking the apple juice. Mikoto watches Naruto disappear after Itachi comes into the kitchen. Itachi comes into the kitchen. The older child brings his mother the orange juice. Mikoto is the one pouring it into a cup for her son.
Itachi carries his cup back towards the family room to continue coloring. He finds Sasuke crashing blocks to the floor using a large alligator. Naruto colors on his page of the book. Itachi watches as the blonde's sippy cup ends up kicked across the room as Sasuke demand the blonde tot's attention.
