Disclaimer: Seriously now... I wouldn't have nearly as much fun messing with the characters if I owned them... Ok, so I lied... but still... Don't own.
Rating: PG-13
Pairings: KisaitaKisa (a.k.a. Kisame/Itachi)
Warnings: Some OOCness, sillyness, Akatsuki members, and shonen-ai... and yet more suggestive jokes.
Notes: These drabbles are the result of a series of challenges sent to me by a very tweaked out Clever Audrey. I am so proud of myself.

Watching Itachi sleep was a novelty unto itself. Like most shinobi, he was a peaceful sleeper, barely moving in his unconscious state.
He was also a remarkably light sleeper for someone who often needed more than a few cups of coffee to wake up in the morning.
Ah, contradictions.
What shinobi needed eight cups of coffee to wake up in the morning anyway?
And how the hell could the very same ninja leap to his feet from a completely unconscious state in less than an eye blink when threatened?
Kisame didn't understand how Itachi did it.
No one did.
But watching Itachi drifting somewhere between full sleep and a light doze beside him was even more of a wonder than the Uchiha's waking habits. He looked… peaceful. And if one knew Itachi, one knew that peaceful was not a state in his repertoire.
Kisame was the only one that was allowed to see Itachi in such a state. That alone was an unusual sign of trust, for Itachi to allow anyone to see him remotely vulnerable.
Kisame brushed the ends of Itachi's ponytail (yes, he often wore his hair tied even when asleep) smirking to himself. The fact that Itachi did little more than twitch at the touch said more of what the Uchiha thought of him than any word or piercing look ever could.
