Manly

Running as fast as his skinny legs could carry him, Sasuke rushed back home from school, the wind cooling his slightly perspiring body. Itachi was always away on missions lately, so on this one day that he's back, Sasuke wanted to spend as time as possible with his Nii-san. He had wanted to spend the entire day with his older brother, but Okaa-san said that school was really important, plus they were learning a new skill today. Sasuke was going to sneak back but Itachi told him to go as well, so he had no choice.

Sasuke pouted. The day passes by so slowly when there's something you're impatient about. As soon class was dismissed he was out of the school and onto the familiar street back to his house.

"Nii-san!" Sasuke opened the door and looked in the empty living room, finding no one. Then he ran into the kitchen. "Okaa-san, where's Nii-san?"

"Itachi-kun is in his bedroom," she told him as she prepared dinner. "He's very tired from the missions so you should let him rest today—"

Sasuke had already bolted down the hallway upon hearing "Itachi-kun is in his bedroom". As he ran, his footsteps thundered against the wooden floor. Nearing his brother's room, he slowed down to a quiet walk, not wanting to wake Itachi up in case he really was resting. Gently sliding open the door, Sasuke peeked in. Itachi was staring right back at him unexpectedly and the younger jumped.

"Otouto."

"Nii-san, you're awake?" Sasuke said somewhat sheepishly. Itachi was on the bed, his hair down and torso bare. Sasuke slid the door closed behind him, but didn't move any closer.

"You woke me up with all that loud running." Itachi smiled softly. "But I'm up now, what is it?"

"Ah," I just wanted to spend some time with you. Sasuke swallowed those words, suddenly feeling embarrassed. "It's nothing, um… we learned a new technique in school…"

"Sasuke."

"Eh?"

Itachi beckoned him over and patted the space on the bed beside him. Sasuke walked over and sat, a wave of indescribable awkwardness rushing over him. The silence was just making it worse for him, though Itachi enjoyed it. "Um… How was your last mission?"

"Boring."

"Ah."

Sasuke pursed his lips, scanning around Itachi's room for something of interest, anything he could talk about. But his brother's room was very clean and practical, a bed, a chair, some shuriken, a work desk…

Then an object caught his eye. On top of the desk was a wooden comb. Sasuke got an idea, turning to his brother. "Nii-san, can I brush your hair?"

Itachi raised an eyebrow at the unexpected request, but nodded. Sasuke happily skipped over to the desk and retrieved the comb, examining the detailed decorations on the handle. He gently prodded Itachi's arm, making him sit at the edge of the bed while Sasuke settled himself behind his brother. A small hand held the long tresses, holding them delicately while the other guided the comb down the dark locks. Sasuke reached to pet Itachi's hair, enjoying the silk-like feel and the fresh smell of soap.

"Your hair is so smooth." Sasuke smiled.

"Hn." That's because I already brushed it a while ago.

Sasuke parted Itachi's hair in the middle, first combing the left side, then moving to the right. He smiled, combing his brother's hair was a growing hobby that he could get used to.

"Nii-san's hair is really long…" He whispered almost dreamily.

"It is, isn't it? I'm thinking about cutting it short."

"What?!" Sasuke gave an unintentionally dramatic gasp. "No way! Why would you do that?"

"It gets in the way during battle, and the blood is hard to get out." Itachi told him, chuckling at Sasuke's almost frightened expression. "Plus, I think it's starting to make me look too feminine."

"Not possible! Itachi Nii-san is very manly!" Sasuke declared.

Itachi stared at him for a moment, and then covered his face, trying to suppress his laughter. Sasuke clamped his mouth shut, blushing ten-fold.

"Am I now…?" Itachi said amusedly. Sasuke looked away but not before giving him a quick nod. "You're adorable." He chuckled, pushing the two of them onto the bed. Itachi gave Sasuke a quick kiss, lips meeting a red, heated face.

Sasuke laid against his brother, the little episode and Itachi's warm body made him sleepy. He snuggled a bit closer. "Ne, Nii-san."

"Hm?"

"Don't cut your hair, Okay?"

Itachi laughed quietly. "Why not?"

"Because," Sasuke giggled, "it makes you look manly."
