Summary: Innocent moments are always the sweetest
Bonus Writer Notes: So this is the first one that I have done for my 30 prompt challenge for Itachi x Deidara. This is more of a cutesy one and its strange because I usually don't write 'cute' . They aren't going to be written in order as you can tell so its more of when I come up with ideas for each one of them.
Innocent Moments
Today was a beautiful clear sunny just like it had been in the previous weeks, the soothing winds of Spring caressing the tender skin of all the happy children playing around the trees, climbing the jungle gym, generally being the children they were as a whole. All of them except for one who sat under a tree far away from the giggling group with his nose permanently attached to the stories of treachery, fraud, twist turns and back stabbing plots, so engrossed that anyone that came close to him would not have thrown his concentration.
"The brown fox stole the red sock and wouldn't give it back to the gray mouse… aaaah"
That was devious of the fox to do so! The young dark haired boy's eyes narrowed intent of finding out if the mouse was going to get his home back, reaching out blindly to grab the box of strawberry milk taking a deep draw back licking his lips placing it back on the ground, turning the page to find out more of the dastardly deeds of this fox. The sound of the school bell ringing loudly that signified the end of the day not stopping Itachi from discovering the truth nor the taunts of "Bookworm" and "Nerd" on the way past that would have hurt the feelings of the regular child only that he wasn't like them. Hearing the call from his mother that it was time to leave, Itachi packed up his book bag dragging the heavy satchel along the ground, almost tripping over his own feet when it fell into an unseen ditch.
"The paint pot expwoded, un" the youthful blonde told his mother with an guiltless smile while she stripped the layers of colors off that tainted his lightly colored skin. Splatter art more like it with the different paints thrown against the butcher paper surface creating a masterpiece that the teacher didn't appreciate at all. "Who is dat?" he asked pointing at the one that constantly peeked his head out from behind the protective barrier of his mother's leg he was hidden behind to shyly look at him.
He however was a big boy and wasn't afraid of no one and he was going to show that, striding over to the smaller boy with a huge smile that squinted back with his one visible azure eye. "My name is Deidara. What's yours?" "…Itachi" "Let's be friends, un!" From that point onwards with the most simplest of words uttered, the two were inseparable doing everything together, they sat together for lunch, play dates at each others houses and even sleepovers.
"Fwankkuu Mrs Uchiha" the blonde chimed happily with another day of adventure and exploring at the Uchiha household, taking Itachi by the hand leading him outside while steadily balancing his plate complete with sandwich and juice box on the other. Together they ate their lunch with Deidara musing of the delicious taste of the peanut butter happily crushed between his bread, curiously glancing over at Itachi to see that he was looking back at him. "Whaaaaat?"
In the midst of confusion that Deidara was suffering looking around to see what Itachi was staring at, the dark eyes boy quickly moved in and pressed his lips against the other's, pursing them hard, squinting his eyes closed locking the blonde in a kiss. Breaking away from the act of purity caused Itachi withdrew into a little ball blushing back at Deidara in a bashful glance away when his cheeks started to burn red. Maybe he shouldn't have done that, he saw mommy and daddy do it before, maybe it was for them only? "I love you, you are my first friend" he spoke quietly.
Without any warning Itachi was knocked to the ground by the outstretched arms that settled around his neck, snuggling his head under the bigger boy's chin happy to hear the words that he always wanted to hear, so much that he cheerfully exclaimed "I wuvu too Itachi. We will be fwiends forwever, un!"
Standing by the back door quietly watching on, tender lips turned upwards in a gentle smile as he managed to come out at the right time to witness her son's first confession towards another, his first friend, dare she say… his first puppy love since the young blonde was all that he talked about when he wasn't around. Later she would have to sit down and explain to him the difference between boys and girls but for now, she was happy to let him experience their innocent love.
