Summary
Haku has only had siblings for a few short months, ever since Kakashi Battle Bonded Zabuza-shishou and brought them to Konoha, made them into a clan. But he adores Naruto and Sakura—and even Sasuke, though the boy is prickly and doesn’t call Haku nii-san the way the other two do—and he is trying. He tries to protect them when he can, tries to be there for them, support them the way he thinks family is supposed to.
He doesn't have much experience being a good older brother, but as he stands in the doorway of the shitty hotel room with Naruto shaking behind him while he stares down Uchiha Itachi, Haku knows this:
He might not have been born into the position, but it has only taken him three months to figure out how to be a better brother than Uchiha Itachi will ever be.
---
In the wake of everything that happened in Wave, Haku is bewildered and awed to find that he has a home in the Hatake clan, with Zabuza-shishou and Kakashi firmly seeing him as one of theirs. And, well, Haku has always been good at devotion. He takes to his new role as the eldest sibling of their mismatched family like a duck to water.
That doesn't mean he has to like his family's extended relations.
