Pein:
Pein is an extremely clever man, therefore, when he started to notice his heart race, his stomach flutter with metaphorical butterflies, and the grin on his face when he thought you of you, he knew exactly what it meant. Yet, he couldn't tell you. Your smile would always stop him short, your eyes twinkling in his office light, your hand carefully clasping his when you relay your ideas. Despite being smart, Pein had absolutely no idea what to do or say. He created numerous scenarios in which he told you but they were all either too cliche or just didn't sound right. You were also an intelligent woman so, when he gave up on telling you he just assumed you knew so he went back to acting as normal, ignoring the beat of his heart when you looked at him.

Itachi:
You and Itachi were both in your usual position: your calves strewn over his lap, books in your hands and his fingers absently playing with the fabric of your trousers. However, Itachi was unable to focus on the words before him. Your warmth made its way through him and the smell of your perfume attacked his nose. He was so distracted by you that he spared a few glances in your direction. You were the complete opposite to him, your eyes and mind completely engrossed in your book. Your tongue poked the inside of your cheek as you turned the page, your eyes alight in fascination. Yet, all Itachi could think was how he wanted to pull you fully onto his lap and brush his fingers over your furrowed brow, just to see your eyes look into his whether that be in confusion or as you sent him a small grin. His eyes widened marginally and he removed his eyes from you and back to his book. THAT was a new development.

Kisame:
When it came to talking about his feelings Kisame was surprisingly not all that open about it. You tried to get him to open up more but he often turned into a blushing mess and would quickly change the subject. That didn't stop you from being affectionate toward him though. Your lips would constantly visit his cheek when you were happy which he thought would be the death of him. His heart would skip a beat when you were near him and any thought of you would bring a shark-like grin to his face. It was when you had beaten him at a set of laps and you swam over to him to plant a kiss on his cheek in victory. He stood stark still in the water, his eyes wide as a school of fish swam around his abdomen. You didn't notice his strange behaviour as you went on to practice you handstands. His facial expression didn't change as his chest swelled and the fish swam faster, his eyes focused on you. Was he... In love with you?

Hidan:
Hidan did everything loudly and over the top so when the two of you laughed it was a spectacular sight to see. You were both practically falling over one another trying to breathe through your laughter. You had just told Hidan about your most recent mission and about an arms dealer you met. The situations you told him about caused him to burst into laughter, therefore causing you to follow suit. You spent a good five minutes laughing non-stop and whilst your laughter died to giggles, Hidan turned on his side to face you. You found yourselves on the floor but the ecstatic feeling in HIdan's chest caused him not to care. You stared up at the ceiling giggling to yourself so you failed to notice Hidan's furrowed brow and frown. Why did his chest feel so light? Why was his breathing ragged, was it from the laughter? He groaned in realisation and turned onto his back as well. It was then that you turned to face him, a smile adorning your face with your eyes alight in mirth. He glanced over at you and groaned again with his hand rubbing down his face. 'Fucking hell,' he thought 'I actually like her.'

Kakuzu:
Kakuzu was quite a mysterious man, most of his face hidden when you see him, so when he was the one to start the conversation that had nothing to do with money or bounties you nearly fell over your feet... and you were sitting. He wouldn't ever tell you but the sound your voice actually made his chest swell so he'd sometimes initiate the conversation just to hear it. He was a man of few words but when you spoke to him he felt the need to respond in kind and with haste lest you think he wasn't interested. Even when he counted his money you would make small talk with him or simply tell him about your day. He realised just how much you meant to him when you were on a mission. A shinobi from the Leaf had gone for one of his hearts but you had quickly put an end to that, knocking the man away from him with a cocky smirk. It was the way you held yourself, the way you selflessly protected him that made his cheeks flare beneath his mask and butterflies to swarm inside him. Kakuzu huffed when you faced him with that smirk and glared half-heartedly at you. Damn you for making him like you so much.

Sasori:
Sasori had supposedly gotten rid of all human emotion when he turned himself into a puppet. When you discovered this news you were both shocked and determined. You vowed to get him to show you some emotion other than a blank stare. Therefore, you tried tickling him, stealing his puppets and hiding them, you even outright insulted his artwork but still, nothing. However, when you unintentionally started hanging out with Deidara more and learning about his artwork, Sasori snapped. He saw red as he stormed over to you and pulled you into his workshop. You were confused to say the least but the anger in his eyes and the growl that bubbled in his chest said it all: you managed to make THE Sasori jealous. When you pointed that fact out he outright refused and went back to work, but what you didn't know, was that the thought of him pulling you to his chest and protecting you from the world ran through his head. Perhaps the puppet was capable of another emotion.

Deidara:
Deidara was in love with you, he knew that, everyone knew that... everyone but you. When he told you had a new detonating clay he wanted to show you, you jumped at the chance to see it so he took you to an open clearing and sat you down. You sent him a dazzling smile and practically bounced in your seat as you waited for the explosion. He set up the clay and stood at the other end of the clearing. However, when the explosion went off you barely had a chance to catch its beauty before you were blown backwards and into the woods. Deidara called your name and rushed to your side only to find you laughing your ass off. The relief on his face was blinding and his heart hammered in his chest at the thought of losing you. It was at that moment, as you placed your hand on his cheek to ease his worry, your e/c eyes staring into his, that he realised how crazy he was about you.

Tobi:
Tobi knew he liked you from the moment he met you (cliche yes, but true). In the dumpling shop you weren't afraid of him, you ignored your friends and sent him a cute wave which made him ecstatic.He was so infatuated by you that he had to tell you that you took his breath away, but instead it came out as "Tobi thinks you look pretty." He had given up hope right then and there but the way you scrunched up your nose and the polite thank you he received made his mistake worth it.Even though he wore a mask voluntarily, he wished you could see the dazzling grin he sent you when you laughed, or screwed up your face when something he cooked would just a tad too salty. He wished you could see how happy you made him just by being around him. Tobi is infatuated with you, and has been since the second he laid eyes on you.

Zetsu:
Zetsu had convinced you to go camping with him so he could show you the beautiful waterfall he found the day before. You were hesitant at first but when you saw the argument that was about to cause you agreed to one night of camping. It was while you were asleep on the other side of the tent that Zetsu began to ponder why exactly he wanted you to accompany him. You fell asleep shortly after your head hit the pillow and moved quite a bit in your sleep. This allowed Zetsu to have a full view of your peaceful face as he thought. He fiddled with his robe as he thought on his feelings for you. The white side was sweet, saying it was the way you looked at them and the way you treated them as your equal, whilst the black side claimed he felt this way due to your body and looks. However, when the white side came to conclusion that how they felt about you was akin to love, the black side did nothing but agree, a soft smirk on his face.
