Appreciation

Confirmation

The day after our first love-making, I felt like it was only fair if I figure out my feelings for Obito. As I woke up I noticed he still had his arms around me, his position still pulled me in for an embrace. I smiled and slowly pushed his arm away, trying to not wake him up.

I decided to get up and go wash off myself from all the sweat and pleasure from the night before. After I was done I peeked my head into my room, observing that Obito was still soundly sleeping.

I decided to get ready in another room, not wanting to wake him up, I picked up my clothes and walked towards the next room.

I got ready as usual, I thought about how at any time the members will get here with their tailed beast, as much as i hate it, I'd like to keep whatever I and Obito have a secret for now. As that seems like the safest option, I want to confirm my feelings towards him first.

Obito has been confessing his love for me nonstop, I feel bad as I am still unsure of my feelings towards him, the fear of being loved still deep-rooted inside of me. I walked back into the room and looked into the mirror, I tried to figure myself out...

"This beautiful man loves you, what are you holding back so much for..hm?" I said to my reflection, as in trying to understand myself.

"which beautiful man?"

I turned around to see Itachi.

"I-Itachi.." I stuttered, obviously shock at his sudden appearance. "what are you doing here?" I asked, trying to look calm and composed. He noticed that I ignored his question but he didn't make a fuss about it, he just looked at me. "We caught the four tails.." Itachi said, walking away. "We'll be extracting it tomorrow.." he announced as he walked towards the hallway. I step out of the room and closed the door behind me. I hope Itachi doesn't think much about what he just heard, I didn't think much of it as well because Itachi isn't much of a busy body person himself. He's the kind that minds his own shit.

I walked towards the second entrance, I saw that Kisame was there, changing the cloth that covered his shark sword, Samehada. Kisame looked at me and his eyes darted towards my neck, noticing the bites. "Deidara.." he said, pointing towards my neck. I just rolled my eyes and said "suckerfish from the river nearby.." I said as I wore my Akatsuki robe, covering it up.

Kisame looked at me and nodded before continuing to wrap his sword, a wave of relief washed over me as I try to change the topic, or even the situation at best since it got awkward for a second there. I walked up to the food piles that we have and looked for something to eat. Before i could reach out for some eggs, I heard Kisame clear his throat behind me. "Don't bother...Itachi is making breakfast..." Kisame said loudly, I turned to face him and he pointed at Itachi, who walked into the hideout kitchen. I squinted my eyes, questioning what special occasion it is, special enough for Itachi Uchiha to make us breakfast.

"He said he's making eggs.."

Itachi making eggs? Not again.

"He's going to finish up our egg stock..hm.." I said, face-palming myself, Itachi cooks eggs so seriously, I think he takes it more seriously than a ninja battle itself. "He uses his Mangekyo Sharingan to make eggs.." Kisame added, chuckling at how dumb it is. I let out a laugh and Kisame burst into laughter as well. "Itachi doesn't sweat for anything but sweats while making eggs..hm.." I said in between my laughter, leaning towards the wall behind me. We joked and laughed for around 4 minutes, occasionally I would lean on the wall behind me as I laugh, all of a sudden a gush of wind made my skin shiver.

"What's so funny?"

Itachi asked, suddenly appearing in front of us. I and Kisame kept quiet, our eyes on him. He looked at both of us, seemingly wanting to kill us. Wait no, that's just his face.
