Itachi laid on his bed reading a book. It was almost time that he went to bed. Kisame was watching some movie on the small T.V. that was across from their beds clearly getting tired himself. Then without warning they heard a familier sound of explsions coming from outisde.

"Can't that blonde do that some other time?" Kisame groaned.

"He likes doing his art at night since he says he can see it better." Itachi replied in his normal calm voice not taking his eyes from the book.

"I don't know what you see in him Itachi. I remember when you first said you liked him. I couldn't believe that someone like him melted that frozen heart of yours."

Itachi's eyes glanced away from his book and at Kisame. Kisame blinked his eyes hoping he didn't do anything to make him angry. Then Itachi's eyes went back to the book.

"Strange isn't it?" Itachi said.

Kisame sighed in relief.

"Yeah it is. Will you ever tell him?"

"I don't know." Itachi said.

"Well you told me, but I guess thats different than telling the person you like that you like them. At least you don't have to worry about Sasori getting in your way since everyone knew he liked Deidara except the blonde himself."

Itachi didn't say anything to reply to that. Kisame was the only who knew his secret. No one would suspect Itachi liking someone in a million years since he kept all his emotions bottled up most of the time. Sasori almost thought that Itachi liked Deidara though Sasori was busy trying to make the blonde his. He would have to if he didn't die so Itachi still had a shot if he could get over his shyness and able to let some of his emotions go. Kisame then turned off the T.V. and got comfy in his bed.

"Well good night Itachi." He said turning off his light.

"Good night." Itachi replied turning off his light and going to sleep also.

Though sleep wasn't even possible. With Kisame's snores and Deidara still blowing things up at 3 in the mourning Itachi didn't get much sleep.

As mourning came Itachi was finally asleep and slept till 1 pm. He walked into the kitchen and stopped when he saw Deidara making a sandwhich of some sort. He had a weird taste in food. Deidara then looked behind him to see who was there. When he saw Itachi he glared at him then turned his head away and continued with the sandwhich making. Itachi kept his outside the same, but inside he sighed and felt a bit depressed. Deidara had always hated him for defeating him that one day. Though it wouldn't stop Itachi.

"You know glaring won't help you defeat me." Itachi said.

"Hmph, shut up weasel." Deidara said clearly annoyed.

"Who says I'll listen to some wannabe artist." Itachi said.

"What did you say, un!?" Deidara turned around quickly clenching his fists tightly getting even angier.

"You heard me. Or have been being around those bombs made you deaf?" Itachi said calmly as usual. He didn't know why, but he thought Deidara looked cute when he was angry.

"OK thats it. I'm sick of you! Were going outside and settling this right now, un!" Deidara said heading outside.

Itachi followed after him. They headed to the field where Akatsuki trained. No one was around to watch. Kisame went to town to get food and the rest were out on missions. Deidara stood across from him getting some clay. It was a day he was waiting for. The day he might defeat the Uchiha and cause fear in his eyes.

"Get ready Uchiha." Deidara said.

Itachi didn't reply. Deidara then started. Throwing the clay bombs that were in his hand at him smirking a bit. Itachi didn't move. Dust blocked Deidara's sight, but he was sure he had him. He chuckled a bit until Itachi appeared right in front of him, kissing him hard on the lips. Deidara's eyes widened as he blushed deeply completly shocked. Then Itachi broke the kiss slowly and whispered in his ear.

"I win."
