A couple of years ago someone asked me what my dream was. I responded "To go to the Harry Potter Theme Park in Florida."
They asked me what my second dream was, and I said "To have one of my fanfiction stories, specifically a more recent one, be drawn in to a beautiful comic strip on Deviantart."
The look on the person's face was priceless. XD
AN: Here's chapter five for you guys! =3
Hope you guys enjoy it!
Itachi: Age 5
Sasuke: A year old
"Itachi. Honey. Come here, please."
Said boy put down his green dinosaur he was currently playing with and walked out toward the direction of his mother's voice. "Mommy?" He asked coming around the corner of the hallway, he saw his mother on her knees with his otouto placed on his tiny chubby feet in front of her. His hands clung on to both her index fingers, which were raise above his head.
Mikoto smiled at him. "Look." She stated as she slowly let her fingers out of Sasuke's grip. The baby boy wobbled a little, Itachi watched in amazement and pride when he saw Sasuke take a small step forward, then another.
He then fell backward against his mother. She smiled down at her son, giving his head a quick kiss. "Good job, Sasuke! Your getting better at it everyday! Isn't he, Itachi?"
Itachi nodded, a smile on his young face. "Good job, otouto!" He mimicked his mother's praise. As he sat down on the ground and began to play with the colorful blocks that have been laying on the floor since yesterday afternoon. Mikoto place Sasuke on the ground, as she stood up. "Itachi, I'm going to see how dinners doing, look after your brother while I'm gone."
The five year old nodded once again. And continued to play with his blocks, aware of his brother staring at him, Itachi looked up. Sasuke was still sitting on the ground where their mother left him. His huge black orbs stared at the older boy intently. Itachi stared back, face expressionless. His otouto copied him. This went on for second or two.
Sasuke giggled, a smile spread a crossed face.
Itachi smiled back, finally blinking. He let out a happy chuckle, his baby brother let out a high pitched squeal and clapped his hands. "Ta!" Sasuke said loudly. "Ta! Ta!"
"What is it, otouto?" He said with a laugh. What Itachi saw next, surprised him. The smile slowly disappeared as he watched Sasuke move to his hands and knees and inch by inch, stood on shaky legs. He should call their mother, knowing that she should be present for this moment. But Itachi was too fixed on his brother to even make a sound. Scooting forward just a few inches, he held out his arms.
"Come here, Sasuke." Itachi said encouragingly.
Sasuke gazed at the older Uchiha, he grinned and began walking forward, towards his older brother. The five year old wanted to shriek out with joy as he watched his little brother get closer and closer to him. "Here, otouto. I know you can do it!"
Then Sasuke fell forward.
Itachi felt his heart almost stop, as his eyes widened. The sight of his brother falling terrified him. Acting on sere impulse, on the thought that he never want to see his baby brother get hurt in any shape or form, he leaped forward, arms stretched out. Falling onto the floor first, he caught Sasuke in his arms. "Sasuke! Are you alright?" He asked fearfully. His eyes inspected the boy and when he found little brother was unharmed he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!" Sasuke sang and cooed happily. Not even aware that he almost gave his aniki a heart attack. Itachi smiled at the baby fondly. He loved this little boy. His loved him more than a boy his age could even describe. He just knew that he would do anything for his otouto, as long as he was safe, happy and most importantly right by Itachi's side.
"Otouto."
Sasuke stopped his babbling and looked at him, a curious expression on his chubby face. The five year old raised a finger in the air. "I'll-" He sounded out pointing to himself.
"-Always."
"-Protect."
He poked Sasuke's cheek. "-You."
His otouto gazed at him, the baby clearly had no idea what his nii-san was saying. "Ta? Ta?" His babbling was in the form of a question. Itachi smiled at Sasuke, his eyes holding love and pride in them. He hugged his dear baby brother to him. Running a hand through the boy's spikey black hair and rubbing circles on Sasuke's back. "I love you, otouto. I love you."
They were in the same position when their mother walked back into the room. "What's going on?" Mikoto asked trying to hide the fond smile on her face with her hand. Itachi looked up at her, he moved away from Sasuke but still had his arms around him. He proceeded to tell their mother what had transpired during her time away.
When he was finished, Mikoto was far from pleased that she had missed her son taking his first steps. She was proud that he was able to do so, but Mikoto, like all mothers, wanted to be present. She scolded her first child, though there was no real heat behind them, the look of pure joy and happiness was etched a crossed Itachi's face, it melted away the disappointment she felt.
Itachi apologized. Like any good son would for his mother, that he loved.
He looked into the black orbs of the baby in front of him.
He felt Sasuke gently pull on a piece of his hair. Itachi laughed, closing one of his eyes on reflex. Yes, the five year old said he was sorry to his mother. Though he didn't really mean them. Because Sasuke had come to him. His otouto had got up on his own and walked to him. His big brother that he'd always would crawl around after. Always would talk gibberish too. Always would raise his arms up, clinching and unclenching his hands, silently being asked to be picked up or held.
He placed a gentle kiss on his otouto's forehead.
Itachi would never apologize for being the person that Sasuke counts on the most. Being the person he wants to be around the most, the person that Sasuke loves the most, other than his own parents.
No. He'd never apologize for that. Never at all...
AN: I've always loved fan-made comic strips, I think it's amazing that a person can draw a character we all know and love into a new beautiful adventure like that, people with any type of talent like that, I respect greatly.
So it's no surprise that this Drabble was based off two picture I found while messing around on the internet on my phone. There these two fan-made comic strips that when I first saw them, I almost squealed, they were SO adorable! I just HAD to write a chapter about them, they impacted me so much.
I mean here is the site it found them at! Go see it for yourself and you'll understand what I'm talking about! Or don't. You might have a different opinion then me.
