Drabble Title: Mirror
Genre: Romance/slight Angst/Humour
Summary: Reflections and shadows.
The first thing Naruto noticed about Sasuke’s house when they moved in together was that there were no mirrors. No matter where he looked, he couldn’t find one single looking glass in the whole Uchiha estate.
And Naruto, being Naruto, reacted in the most dramatic manner only he could pull off.
“Sasuke, tell me the truth…you’re really a vampire, aren’t you?”
Sasuke, who had been drinking tea at the dining table, choked and sputtered.
“I knew it!” Naruto exclaimed, pointing at his lover with his finger. “You are a vampire!”
Sasuke wiped the tea from his chin with his hand and gave the blonde a dirty look.
“Usuratonkachi, have Hyuuga and Nara given you coffee again? Because if they did, I’m going to kill them.” he said flatly, “Or have you been listening to Ino and Sakura? Stupid, they only do it to tease you, you know.”
“No! ‘Cause you don’t have any mirrors in the house!”
Sasuke blinked at Naruto.
“What?”
“You don’t have any mirrors here,” the blonde repeated. “Vampires don’t have any reflections, do they? That’s why you don’t need mirrors!”
Sasuke blinked some more.
Naruto moved to snuggle in his lover’s lap, looking up at him with large, shining blue eyes. “I won’t tell anyone your secret, Sasuke,” he whispered in conspiracy. “I think it’s so cool! May I see your fangs - OW!!!”
Sasuke had whacked the back of Naruto’s head.
“What was that for?!” Naruto whined, rubbing the stinging spot. “I said I wouldn’t tell!”
“You utter moron!” Sasuke laughed, half in exasperation and half in amusement. “I don’t have mirrors in the house because I don’t want to see my reflection, which I do have, thank you.”
“You don’t want to see your reflection because you don’t have one!” Naruto said triumphantly, looking pleased that he had worked that out all by himself.
“No, dobe.” Sasuke rolled his eyes. “ I look too much like him.”
“Him?” Naruto queried softly. “Itachi, you mean?”
Sasuke nodded, holding Naruto close to his chest. He stared straight ahead, lost in thought. “It’s really funny… Before he killed my entire clan, I was so proud to look like him…and after that, I couldn’t bear looking into the mirror and seeing him, his reflection staring out at me. I smashed every single mirror the night they let me out of the hospital.” Sasuke looked sad for a second. “My parents never saw me when they looked at me either. I was only a shadow of their beloved firstborn…always a lesser son than he was.”
Naruto shook his head, the movement shaking Sasuke out of his memories.
“I think you parents saw you as your brother’s shadow because they could see that you had the potential to be as good as he was. It was their way of telling you how much they loved you…that they saw how well you would turn out to be.”
Sasuke had to smile at Naruto’s optimistic view of life.
“I hope so…” the Uchiha heir murmured into the soft blond hair.
“Hey, I just thought of something!” Naruto perked up, grinning. “No wonder you have that perpetual bed head! How long has it been since you really looked into a mirror?”
Naruto’s laughter was interrupted by another “OW!” following the whack on his head.
End.
