Author's Note:
I'm so sorry for this whole thing oh my god. It's just one big meme. I already have Chapter 2 written, but I won't post it if I don't get reviews. So yeah.

It was a dark and stormy night. At least it seemed that way to Deidara. In reality, the weather was pleasant on this brisk winter afternoon. But Deidara's gloomy perspective was about to change. He was on his way to the mall, to Justice in particular, to buy a skort that he'd been dying to get for ages. Just as he entered his sacred domain, he peered across the walkway to Victoria's Secret. "Maybe I'll get something cute after I get my skort," he thought. Fresh with determination to obtain his prize, Deidara rushed into Justice.

Itachi needed a Webkinz. Urgently. The new Maine Coon Cat Webkinz came out today, and he just had to be the first one to buy it. Luckily, Justice sold exactly what he wanted. On this quiet February day, Itachi bid farewell to his little brother Sasuke and drove toward his prize.

It was exactly what he wanted. The light blue swirls perfectly complemented his eyes. The pleats formed wide circles when he twirled. This was the skort that Deidara had always dreamed about. At the same time, Itachi raced to the toy stand and practically snatched the marble-coated orange and white Maine Coon Webkinz from an 8-year-old's grasp. Still in a rush, he hurried to the front desk to purchase his treasure. Deidara leisurely stepped in line behind.

Having been the day before Valentine's Day, the queue was quite long. The customer at the front of the line was complaining about something or other. Pink hair and all, Sakura was positively indignant about the exorbitant price of the Jonas Brothers CD she was trying to purchase. Deidara, being quite short, only saw a flurry of fists as Sakura argued with the poor sales clerk. Both he and Itachi grew tired of the line, and their minds wandered. Simultaneously, at the same time, they both darted from the ever-growing line in search of one particular item.

Itachi rushed right to the jacket, while Deidara lingered a bit around the skirt section once more, finally meandering to the same clothes rack. They both reached. The pure white, puffy coat with a rhinestone heart design on the left shoulder within reach, they grasped the hanger at the same instant. Their hands touched, freezing them both. They turned their gazes upon each other, but no argument erupted. Deidara and Itachi stood standing stock-still, looking into each other's eyes. Deidara moved his bangs out of his face to get a better view of Itachi's glimmering garnet gaze.

"Y-you can have it…" Itachi stammered.

"No, you take it!" the words rushed out of Deidara's mouth, not stopping there, "It would look really pretty with your eyes!"

Itachi looked away in surprise, blushing lightly.

"T-thank you…" Itachi turned back to look at Deidara's clear blue eyes. After a moment of silence, Itachi gently removed the hanger from the clothes rack and made his way back to the line, which had begun to move once the clerk called the security to remove the disruptive pink-haired girl. Deidara followed suit. The line moved swiftly and they were soon at the cash register.

"Oh, are you two dating?" The cashier, Ino, asked the duo.

"Wh-what?!" Itachi and Deidara exclaimed in unison.

"Oh, don't be bashful," Ino coaxed.

"N-no… We just met actually…" Deidara looked down in embarrassment.

"Okay… That sounds fake but okay…" Ino proceeded to ring up Itachi's jacket and Webkinz. Being next in line, Deidara bought his skort. They both quickly shuffled out of the store.

"That was awkward…" Itachi muttered.

"Tell me about it… But… I was wondering… Do you maybe wanna possibly go see a movie? I mean if you don't have anything else planned…" Deidara hesitantly asked of Itachi.

"I- uh… Sure. But we don't even know each other…"

"Right… Well, I'm Deidara, what's your name?"

"Itachi."

"Well now we know each other! Wanna go see Titanic? I hear they're showing it 'cause Valentine's Day is tomorrow," Deidara's eyes sparkled brilliantly. Itachi couldn't resist staring at those bright blue gems.

"Sure," Itachi smiled warmly. Deidara beamed back and grabbed Itachi's hand, racing towards the movie theater.
