Wishes Can Come True

Note - This was originally written in 2008 as Uchihacest/Shota. I have since bitchslapped the old me who wrote it, and edited it to make it cute, fluffy, and more socially acceptable. It still sounds like an idiot wrote it, but at least there's no shota content any more. If you read the old version, I am so sorry.

Sasuke Uchiha kneeled on his bed, looking at the stars outside his window. They shone down on him happily, like a million little fireflies. It midnight, but he was much too excited to sleep. The next day, July the 23rd, he would be SEVEN years old, practically a man! He wriggled with anticipation.

The door to his bedroom opened slightly, interrupting his happy thoughts. His mother, Mikoto, came in quietly. She walked up to Sasuke and sat down next to him. "Why aren't you asleep, sweetheart?", she asked him in her soft voice.

Sasuke turned his shining eyes to her. "I'm just really happy, Mummy. I can't wait until tomorrow!"

Sasuke's mother smiled gently. "Tomorrow will come faster if you sleep," she said, running her fingers through his short, dark hair.

"I know.", Sasuke sighed. He laid down on his bed and pulled the covers over himself.

Mikoto tucked him in. Then she kissed his forehead and walked out of the door, saying, "Goodnight, dearest. Try to sleep as soon as you can."

A cold breeze blew through the window and Sasuke shivered. This cold in July? How weird! And it had been such a hot day, too... He curled up slightly under the covers. From where he lay, he kept looking out of the window. Slowly, sleep started to claim him. He gave a little yawn. Was his big brother, Itachi, asleep yet? Probably. Sasuke used to sleep with his brother when they were smaller. Then, if he couldn't sleep, his brother would tell him stories and Sasuke would cuddle up to him and feel safe and sleepy. But now they were both too big for that. He frowned a little bit. He missed his brother's comforting words and warmth. That happy time seemed far in the past. Itachi was so cold now... but maybe tomorrow would be different. Maybe his brother would hug him and play with him like they used to. After all, tomorrow was Sasuke's birthday.

The thoughts dissolved in Sasuke's mind. He was really starting to feel sleepy. He looked silently at the open window. He could see stars through it. Sasuke did love the stars. Suddenly, a really bright star appeared and streaked across the sky. It was so bright, it lit up his darkened room! Sasuke sat bolt upright and gasped. "A shooting star!", he whispered. "I should make a wish! Umm..." Sasuke thought for a minute. Then he whispered his wish to the stars. He smiled, thinking about it. Then he laid back down and tried to sleep. His Mummy was right. Tomorrow would come faster if he slept. In a few minutes, Sasuke was fast asleep, and dreaming about the next day.

Please leave me a review! The only ones I've got right now are for the old version of this, so I'd like some new feedback. Thanks in advance!
