Blabbermouth

"Sasuke, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Sasuke is startled by Itachi's sudden appearance behind him—he'd been lost in thought staring out over the water from the old pier.  Itachi smiled at him, sitting down next to him with a clap on the shoulder.  Sasuke stared at him in confusion until Itachi smirked knowingly at him and winked.

"So, I heard you're having girl problems, little brother...?"

Sasuke's expression turned to one of total shock. "What?!  How did you... Okay, who's the blabbermouth that told you?"

Itachi chuckled to himself.  "Oh, I have my informants..."

"Kakashi and Naruto?" Sasuke asked, clearly annoyed.  "...They're gonna pay for that."

Itachi grinned.  "I'd be careful if I were you—being cruel is the last thing you want to do if you want Sakura to let you back into her heart."

Sasuke frowned and crossed his arms, blushing at the mention of Sakura's name.  Itachi positively beamed to see Sasuke acting like this—he could tell his brother was really in love with this girl.  Her coldness to him was probably killing him.

Sasuke humphed.  "And what makes you an expert?"

"Well, I am kind of engaged, little brother," Itachi smirked.  "I think I know a thing or two."

Sasuke flushed at his brother's tone—he was well aware that Itachi knew a "thing or two," considering the fact that he was already on his way to becoming a father.  Sasuke wasn't sure he needed that kind of advice yet... He was more concerned with getting Sakura to talk to him first.

Finally, Sasuke sighed and looked at Itachi pleadingly.  "Alright, then.  What should I do to win her over?"

Itachi smiled and shook his head.  "Well, first of all, don't treat it like a battle... The way into her heart is through kindness, not by force."  At this point, Itachi chuckled and patted Sasuke on the shoulder.  "...I know that's going to be hard for you, dear little brother, but you have to at least try."

Sasuke looked down at their reflections in the water and tried to smile.  "Alright, I'll... be nice."

"That's my little brother," Itachi grinned, standing up while messing up Sasuke's hair.  Sasuke glared at him, but the smile that graced his face a moment later was an honest one.

"Thanks for the advice... big brother."

"Anytime," Itachi said, winking.
Brotherly interaction! XD

Yes, Sasuke, your brother can give you some good advice... Somehow, I'd like to see these two having a normal conversation like this one. I bet Itachi'd be concerned the moment he heard his little brother was getting the cold shoulder from the girl he's in love with... Even if he knew the story behind it all.

Somehow, this scene is the first thing that popped into my head when I read the prompt, "blabbermouth."

Aw, why can't Itachi still be alive in the manga?! I would totally want for this to happen xD.
Either way, this was adorable and I love Sasuke having "girl problems" haha. The thought of him struggling to woo Sakura is hilarious, yet super cute. Plus, the addition of having Itachi offer his advice is just perfect! Lovely drabble :)
