AN: And here's another drabble for you guys. This one is going to be a SickFic. Why? Because one of the genre's I love involving close brothers (not yaoi) is one of them getting sick, and the other taking care of them, it's just TOO adorable! =3 Though I usually don't write them, cause I never think I can pull them off, so let's try it with these two, shall we?

So as always please leave a review it really helps me out a lot, and I'll see you guys in the next one.

Itachi: Age 7

Sasuke: Age 2.

"Mother?" Itachi asked as he watched his mother quickly get her coat on and shoes. She seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. "Mother?"

Mikoto turned her head as if she just noticed he was there. "Oh, Itachi. I've been called away for a hour or two. Your father has asked me to come by and see him. So you'll have to look after Sasuke while I'm gone, okay? Remember he's sick, his fever is still high. Make sure he takes his medicine, put him straight to bed afterwards, he needs his rest. Check on his every so often to see how he's doing. And he can't under any circumstance get out of bed, unless it's to use the bathroom, alright?"

Most seven year olds wouldn't remember any of that, but Itachi did. He nodded his head once. "Yes, mother."

Mikoto smiled at him, giving him a quick peck on the forehead. "Good boy." She then slide the door open and closed it behind her. Itachi turned and walked down the hallway, his destination was his room. But he stopped when he thought he heard something.

"Ma?" A very small, weak voice said. Itachi shifted his feet and walked toward his otouto's room, knowing instantly that it was his voice. He opened the door. "Sasuke?-Oof!" Itachi yelped in surprise as he felt someone fall against his stomach. Sasuke looked up at his brother with puffy, glazed black eyes. "Ita-nii?" The two year old whimpered.

Itachi placed his hands on Sasuke's shoulders, steadying him. His eyes held concern and empathy. "My foolish otouto, you should be in bed. Mother said not to leave, unless to use the bathroom." When their mother name was said aloud, his otouto looked around expecting to see her.

"She had to go see father, she'll be back soon." Itachi stated as he gently lead his sick otouto back to his futon. He laid Sasuke down and pulled the covers up to his chest. He brushed his little brother's bangs back from his face as he felt his forehead. It was hot. Same as before. This only worried Itachi more, if the fever wasn't going down what else could he do but give Sasuke the medicine and wait?

That'll have to do. He thought to himself. Standing up he moved to get the medicine from the kitchen. Itachi felt weak fingers grasp the edge of his shirt. He looked down and saw Sasuke gazing up at him with ill emotional eyes. "Ita-nii...stay." Sasuke whimpered out. The older boy placed his hand over the other's clammy one, he smiled softly.

"I have to get your medicine, little brother. I'll only be a minute." He whispered gently trying to reassure his brother he'd be right back. But it didn't. Sasuke sniffed miserably, his lower lip trembled as tears spilled down the corners of his eyes, landing on the pillow his head was resting on.

"Stay...stay!" The two year old cried as his cheeks began to flush a light red, whether it was from the fever or because his precious was crying, the older boy couldn't tell. Itachi's heart constricted painfully. The sight of Sasuke in this state, he could hardly bare it anymore. He touch his little brother's cheek with his hand, ignoring how hot it felt.

"Want to come with me?" He asked rubbing his thumb a crossed the heated pale skin. What was the harm? It's not like he was talking his brother outside, just to go get his medicine that tasted like tomatoes. They'd come right back.

Sasuke reached his arms up weakly, silently asking to be picked up, Itachi obliged immediately. Picking the boy up, gently wrapping one arm around his back and then other underneath his legs.

Sasuke clung onto Itachi, laying his head between his shoulder blade and neck, he coughed then a moan came after. The seven year old held on to the little boy in his arms, as he walked down the hallway towards the kitchen.

When he got there, Itachi tried to put Sasuke on the counter, while he got his medicine. But his brother wouldn't let go of his neck for him to do that. So Itachi slowly and carefully maneuvered his way up onto the counter, he grabbed the bottle, and shimmed back onto the floor. Walking over to the drawer, he pulled out the only spoon they had in the house. This spoon was used for two things: Feeding Itachi and Sasuke as babies, and pouring liquid medicine into.

"Alright, Sasuke. I got it. Now you'll feel better."

The response he received was a snuzzle to the neck. Itachi's throat suddenly got very tight. He laid his cheek against Sasuke's head. The older boy made his way back into his otouto's room. He softly pried his small hands off his neck, as he laid Sasuke back on the futon. Itachi ran a hand through his beloved brother's hair to calm his whimpering.

Taking the cape off the bottle, he poured the thick liquid onto the spoon. Cupping the back of his brother's neck, he titled Sasuke's head forward, and brought the spoon to the two year olds chapped lips. "Okay, here Sasuke. Drink."

The last thing he expected Sasuke to do was resist. But that's exactly what he did. He turned his head away. "No..." His brother moaned. "Ita-nii...no..."

Itachi's heart cracked at the miserable cries of the boy below him. "Otouto, please you have to take it, or you'll won't feel better." Itachi said. When Sasuke still did nothing, the lump in his throat came back, he swallowed it. "Please, Sasuke." His voice and eyes pleaded. If his otouto didn't take the medicine, he'd only get worse.

The boy looked Itachi's pleading, worried eyes. He then, opened his mouth and with much difficulty, he swallowed it. The older boy sighed in relief, as he put the spoon down.

"Ita?"

He looked at Sasuke. "Yes, otouto?"

Sasuke grasped his shirt with his hand. Black, glazed-over orbs begging. "Stay?" Itachi had to press his lips together to keep from crying at the small, quiet innocent question.

"Sure."

He nestled himself underneath Sasuke's small futon. Itachi immediately wrapped his arms around his otouto's back. Sasuke doing the same, as he buried his flushed, sweaty face into the older boy's chest. Itachi knew he'd get sick, but if it meant taking away Sasuke's pain, and bringing back his smile, then it was worth it.

"Sing, please? Ita-nii?"

Itachi nodded. Anything for you, Sasuke.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

You make me happy when skies are gray.

You don't dear, how much I love you.

Please don't take my sunshine away."

Sasuke giggled ever so softly. "Aniki..." Itachi's heart leaped. Had he just heard Sasuke right? Did he just called aniki? "What?" He muttered quietly.

"Aniki.." The boy repeated. "Ove you, aniki..." The medicine was finally taking effect as Sasuke's eyes slipped shut. His stuffed nose caused his brother to snore, slightly. Itachi stared at his dear brother, a smile was plastered on his young face. His stomach felt like there were butterflies flying around in there. He hugged Sasuke closer to him.

His voice was above a whisper as he started to sing again.

"You are my Sasuke, my only Sasuke.

You make me happy when my day's are gray.

You don't otouto, how much I love you.

Please don't ever go away."

He finished the last line with a small yawn, resting his chin on the top of his little brothers head he closed his black eyes, happily.

Please don't ever go away...

AN: =3 Why did I decide to put Itachi singing, because I thought it would up the cuteness factor to an all time high. Why was the song 'You are my Sunshine'? Because that is what I heard a lot of people sing to someone when they're sick or upset. I don't ever remember it happening to me, but though the rest of the song is pretty...sad and depressing, I have always like these sentences the best. Why did I change the lyrics at the ending? Because that boy is his Sasuke, his sunshine, his brother!

And finally. Did I get major feels from writing this? Your damn right it did! Oh The Brotherly Love! Oh the huggies! =3

So thoughts? Please leave a review, they always brighten my day.

And I'll see you guys soon!
