A boy around 15 with blue black hair and grey black eyes woke up, sweat dripping from his face. "A-Another nightmare..." He got out of bed and headed straight for the bathroom to splash water on his face. It's not like it actually helped, it was just a habit. Like a child would go to his mother.
Another male, this one hand long raven black hair and grey black eyes and seemed to be in his early twenties, was woken up by the sound of the faucet running. The raven haired boy headed straight for the bathroom, knowing that was where his younger brother would be. "Sasuke..." He called out to the boy with a tired voice.
"Itachi... Did I wake you?" The younger boy felt bad for troubling his brother once again. Why was he so worthless? All he ever did was cause his brother trouble. "I'm sorry..."
"Don't worry about it little brother." Itachi smiled softly. He never minded being woken up by his younger brother. Anyone else would have been brutally murdered."Why don't you sleep with me the rest of the night?" He suggests.
"I'm not ten, Itachi." Sasuke glared, his pride not letting him give in. Though he said this, he really didn't want to be alone. But the thought of running to his brother every time he had one of those wretched dreams, utterly hurt his pride.
"Suit yourself." The older boy walked away, going back to bed. The room suddenly seemed terrifying to the younger boy. Quickly, he turned off the faucet and light and dashed to his brothers room. The two had lived alone, their parents always away for business. What a lonely house... The door was already open for him, Itachi already knew how it was going to turn out.
"Itachi..." He called out for his older brother, his fear always conquered his pride. Itachi lifted up the covers, Sasuke was quick to climb in. The older Uchiha wrapped his arms, as well as the blamkets, around Sasuke.
"What was it about this time?"He asked gently, as he always did. To him, Sasuke was as transparent and fragile as glass. He couldn't help but I want to treat him gently.
"I-It's always the same dream... In a different life... With the same girl... She always dies... I always watch her grow up... I killed her..." Sasuke choked on a sob as he clutched onto his brothers shirt, he was like a toddler who had a bad dream.
"Sh... Sh..." He stroked Sasuke's back in attempt to calm him down. The younger boy sobbed into his chest, the dreams had always felt so real. At times he would forget which one was actually reality.
"I don't know who she is! But I feel like I know her! I watched her grow up... And to have killed her again... I killed my little sister... With my own two hands... Without a care in the world..."
"You didn't kill anyone Sasuke..." Itachi rubbed his younger brother's back. "It was just a dream..."
"If it's just a dream... Then why does it feel so real?... Why do I feel like a failure? " Sasuke kept crying and crying. Itachi could only comfort him until he fell asleep.
"I'm sorry that I can't protect my precious little brother from having such dreams..." Itachi sighed. He had to wake up early the next day, but he didn't want to leave the boy alone. It was Sunday after all, Sasuke didn't have to go back to school until Monday.
