Chapter 7. In the middle of the night
December 19, 2023 at 11:38 AM
Sasuke couldn't sleep at night. He turned from one side to the other, but he couldn't sleep. So he just lay face up and stared at the ceiling.
He had been lying like this for quite a long time when he suddenly noticed a dim glow.
Turning to the side, Uchiha checked his phone.
"A message from Kakashi."
_________________________________________
- Are you asleep?
- No, it's not
- And Itachi?
- I think so. And what?
- Come here

Sasuke looked at his brother. He really slept like a dead man, because, tormented by curiosity, Uchiha left the room.
Kakashi's room was right behind the wall. Sasuke knocked softly.
- Yes, Sasuke-kun, come in.
Sasuke opened the door and entered the room. Kakashi was sitting on the bed. When he saw Uchiha, he opened his arms.
- Come here, don't be afraid, - Kakashi smiled.
Sasuke came over and sat down next to her. Kakashi wrapped him in a hug.
- That's it. Now tell me what you're not sleeping about.
- I don't know, I can't sleep. Maybe because of the nightmare.
- A nightmare?
- I dreamed about it this morning.
- I see... Were you really scared?
- Not really.
- Don't worry, it's just a dream.
- I know.
- I'm here, - Kakashi said, gently stroking Uchiha's back.
- Thanks...- not knowing what to say, he replied.
Kakashi put his chin on his head and buried his nose in his hair.
- If you're not afraid, you can sleep.
- What should I be afraid of?
- Me? I don't know, you never know, - Hatake smiled.
- Why should I be afraid of you?
He just shrugged his shoulders.
- By the way... If it's not difficult for you, can you explain something?
- Huh?
- Why are you wearing a mask?
Kakashi laughed nervously.
- Well, how to say it...
- If you don't want to, you don't have to tell me.
- Thanks.
"So he won't tell..."
Kakashi looked confused and a little guilty right now.
- Sorry for the question. I really didn't mean to offend you. Let's change the subject, - Uchiha tried to change the situation. - Why did you call me?
- Well... I couldn't sleep, and... that's why...
Sasuke smiled.
- I see.
- Thank you for responding to my request and not pushing me away...
Turning around, Sasuke gently hugged Kakashi and nuzzled his chest.
Kakashi smiled and stroked him again.
Sasuke felt himself slowly drifting off to sleep. Kakashi felt it too, so he put Uchiha on the bed and lay down next to her.
