oh! Awesomeeeee. How long before you get home?
[ Naruto isn’t sick but he’s heard rumors now and then. ]
[ Sasuke is definitely not that lucky. Naruto is waiting for him in the living room and jumps up as soon as the door opens. ]
What is it that you got?!
Meat buns! Perfect. Let’s eat … hey are you okay?
[ Naruto frowns when the other coughs. ]
You’re not sick are you? Lots of people have been getting sick.
Isn’t that what’s happening to everyone around here?! You caught it too?
[ Naruto vaguely knows about it and knows there’s something about feelings and stuff. He frowns and reaches out to slap his hand on Sasuke’s forehead quickly. don’t you dare dodge, sir. ]
Well, you are kind of secretive and hide what you’re thinking and feeling and I think I heard that’s what it’s about. It’s supposed to make you talk about stuff.
[ Naruto keeps his hand on the other’s forehead still and fixes him with a worried look. ]
Spill.
[ And he grabs two meat buns shoving one at Sasuke. ]
People have been talking about it! I should’ve known you’d get all sick. You dumbass.
[ He talks with his mouthful and then another bite. He doesn’t let the other have too much time to hesitate. ]
You what?
[ Naruto tilts his head when he hears that admission. He takes another bite and then nods. ]
Of course you miss him.
[ Naruto had never had a sibling but having known Itachi he thinks he understands a little bit what losing that would be like. ]
Yeah?
[ Naruto takes another bite but Sasuke really has his full attention. ]
he cared about you more than anything.
This isn’t about my feelings. I’m not choking on flowers. You’re the one supposed to talk!
[ Naruto protests. ]
