Sasuke's internal alarm beeped and woke up the seven-year-old from his slumber. Raising a hand to cover a yawn, the child sat up and and glanced over at the clock on his wall. He sleepily blinked at it before its reading registered into his brain. .

It was twelve to four. Granted, someone Sasuke's age shouldn't be up so early in the morning, considering he had school in a few hours. But unless he gave his elder brother his birthday present now, he wouldn't remember until after the now-teen left for his missions.

Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Sasuke threw the sheets off him before climbing out of bed. Even though he was still in his own room, the young Uchiha tip-toed his way to the door. Once he reached it, he swallowed hard before quietly sliding it open and slipping out to the open hallways.

Cautiously, the boy looked up and down the halls just to make sure neither his father or mother were up and about. When there was no sign of anyone else being awake, Sasuke let out an inaudible sigh of relief before sliding his door closed and tip-toeing to his brother's room. A small hand reached out to silently open the door, but paused mere centimeters away. Itachi was a prodigy child. He would be able to detect Sasuke's presence before the child could surprise him.

Childishly, Sasuke puffed up a cheek. He wanted to surprise the person he looked up to and idolized, but that wouldn't happen for a good, long while. Well, it never hurt to try

As quietly as he could, Sasuke slid the door to his brother's room open and tip-toed inside. TThe young Uchiha kept his eyes on his elder brother as he moved closer, hoping that Itachi wouldn't wake up. He never noticed Itachi reaching underneath his pillow to grip a kunai.When the elder Uchiha released his grip from said kunai, Sasuke was still oblivious to the movement.

"What are you doing up at this hour, Sasuke?" Itachi asked gently, causing the smaller boy to stop in his tracks and pout.

When he didn't receive an answer, Itachi sat up a bit, using his elbows to prop him up, and glanced over at his younger brother.

"I wanted to surprise you for your birthday" Still pouting, Sasuke made his way to Itachi's bed and climbed on to it to sit next to his brother.

"Is it my birthday?" Itachi asked dully, hardly showing any interest in the annual event. "I wasn't aware. But still, that doesn't explain why you're up at this hour. Okaa-san would want you to get more sleep." As Sasuke situated himself next to his brother, Itachi sat up and poked the middle of his forehead with his middle and index fingers.

Huffily puffing up a cheek again, Sasuke reached up and rubbed up at the pink spot on his forehead. Why did he always do that?! Hmph.

"I wanted to surprise you! And give you your present before you left for your mission!" Who, Sasuke wondered, in their right mind would want to do their missions on their birthday? If he were Itachi, he would've gone and asked the Hokage for a day off or something. Then again, it was Itachi. He never skipped his mission for his own birthdays, which always puzzled the young Uchiha. The only time Itachi did bother to skip his missions was when it was Sasuke's own birthday.

"You could've waited until breakfast to give it to me." Itachi's eyes casually wandered over Sasuke's slim form, seeing no form of a gift on his person.

"Yeah, but I didn't feel like it." Sasuke childishly stuck his tongue out at his brother.

"Heh." Itachi couldn't help but smile a bit at his brother. He was definitely too cute when he acted childish. "All right. What is my present, otoutou?"

Sasuke's pink tongue suddenly slipped back into the child's mouth before he clung to his elder brother, arms wrapped around his waist as far as they could go. Glancing up at the elder Uchiha, Sasuke simply blurted out, "Happy birthday I'm all yours, nii-san!"

Sasuke loved Itachi deeply, and the only thing that he could think of that Itachi would love would be himself. If it meant giving up his freedom, then he would be more than happy to. The only thing he wanted was to be with his brother anyway.

When he saw his brother's faint smile grow a bit, Sasuke's heart practically skipped a beat. Did he like it? Or was it the stupidest thing he had ever thought of...? Sasuke was so concerned about Itachi liking the gift that he didn't notice the teen's hands move toward him. Feeling the extra weight on him, Sasuke blinked and snapped out of his daze. Gently, Itachi ruffled the younger Uchiha's hair.

"You're my birthday present then?"

Sasuke broke out into a grin and nodded, his cheeks faintly tinted pink, "Yup!"

Silently, the elder of the two leaned down and kissed the younger on the head lightly, "Thank you. I like my gift very much."

Itachi then curled an arm around his affectionate brother gently, cradling his back. Sasuke's grin turned into a very happy smile as he cuddled closer, trying to get more of Itachi's comforting warmth. He paid no mind to his slightly flushing cheeks.

"Heh." Itachi let Sasuke cuddle as close as he wanted while he lightly rested his head atop his brother's and cradled his back.

Sasuke blinked and glanced up at Itachi curiously, tilting his head a bit. He knew that his brother had paid him no mind, considering he had briefly closed his eyes. Sasuke actually considered letting his brother rest, but it was just too good of a chance to pass up. He was definitely going to surprise Itachi this time.

Innocently, Sasuke leaned up a bit and gently, clumsily pressed his small, rosy lips against Itachi's cheek. Itachi opened his eyes and blinked down at his younger brother, actually a bit surprised. Normally, he would be able to tell what Sasuke was up to and burst his bubble, but since he had gotten home a few hours ago, exhaustion from his previous mission still lingered in his body, which allowed Sasuke the rare, near non-existent opening.

Sasuke merely offered Itachi one of his many cute and innocent smiles, obviously content in surprising his brother, even if he was only a bit surprised. It's good progress.

Leaning up a bit, Itachi playfully ruffled Sasuke's hair a bit before leaning back down to kiss his cheek lightly, "Cute."

The flush on Sasuke's cheek deepened half a shade, just shy from a blush. He let out a rare giggle as he gave Itachi another innocent smile, "I got you, nii-san!"

Itachi offered his brother a rare, gentle smile in return, "Yes, you did. Very good, Sasuke."

"Yay! Another point for me!" Still wearing the innocent smile, Sasuke pumped an arm into the air triumphantly.

"Don't get used to it," Again, Itachi ruffled the younger Uchiha's spiky hair, this time making sure his bangs got into his face and tickled his nose.

"That tickles, nii-san!" Sasuke couldn't help but laugh and tried batting away Itachi's hand, pouting when he was unsuccessful.

"I know." Lightly, Itachi kissed Sasuke's puffed up cheek as his fingers ghosted over the smaller Uchiha's sides. Again, Sasuke laughed and squirmed to try and get away from Itachi's prodding fingers. Before he could try and hold it back, his laugh trailed off into a yawn.

"Off to bed, Sasuke. Would you like to sleep with me?"

Normally, Sasuke would pout and sulk about being told to go to sleep, but whenever Itachi allowed him to sleep with him, he got very excited. Sasuke immediately nodded in response and happily wrapped his arm around Itachi's neck in a hug.

With an arm still cradling Sasuke's back, Itachi carefully slid back down before lying on his side, Sasuke lying contently next to him.

"Good night." Itachi kissed the top of his brother's head lightly, moving his arm from Sasuke's back down to wrap around his waist.

"G'night, nii-san..." Sasuke had already started to drift off to sleep and cuddled as close as humanly possible, shivering just a tad.

The elder Uchiha pulled the sheets over them and up to Sasuke's chin before resting his head lightly atop Sasuke's again and drifting off to sleep himself.
