One of the first drabbles I've ever written :) A gift for my beloved imouto-chan :heart: More to be written soon.

Prompt given: about Sasuke

I do not own Naruto.

Beyond understanding

There are a few things about himself that Itachi would never admit to, but even he can't ignore the obvious facts. One of them is his newly discovered possessiveness towards his Jinchuuriki – the only obsession he has ever had.

He keeps watching Naruto, sees to what lengths the boy can go in order to "save" his little foolish brother, even though Sasuke doesn't want to be saved apparently, and finally decides that it's not something he, Itachi, can understand.

"Why?" he asks Naruto one day.

"Because he's like a brother to me," Naruto says and his eyes flash with determination.

Itachi remembers the words. And sometimes he wishes it wasn't Sasuke that Naruto seems to care so much about.

TBC

Just a teaser. There will be more drabbles like this one and not-so-short stories, all of them about Itachi and Naruto. Wanna suggest a prompt? Go ahead.

The next one is much longer, you know :P 1187 words and the next one 2353 words. See? It's getting longer and longer :D
