Artists' Perspective [Deidara x Reader]

Butterfly-Chapter 38

(Y/n pov)

It was still very early. 

"I want to get out today, I'll probably just settle for a walk later. I wonder how long its been, can't have been more than an hour."

I decide to get ready for the day.

I go over to my shared bathroom, with a change of clothes. I twist the knob of my sink, the cold water starts flowing out. I splashed a bit on my face, then squeezed a bit of my face wash onto my hands. I rubbed the soap into my face. I dried of my face with a towel that was laying around. 

I start undressing and putting on my new clothes. I put on something casual. A soft black miniskirt and a pastel (any color) hoodie/sweatshirt. A bit of makeup can't hurt, I apply (however much you like) just so I look a bit more awake. I pull my hair into a high-ish ponytail. 

I let out bit of a sigh of satisfaction.

"I look cute" I say sort of deadpan at the mirror.

I step out into the living room with a book in hand. I say "hi" followed by a little wave, to whoever was there. Greetings of "good mornings" and "heys" were echoed back at me by a few of my fellow Akatsuki. I stroll over to the couch and curl up with my book. 

It didn't take long for me to zone out and become fully invested in the pages of my book. So much so that I failed to notice someone sit beside me. After a while, I noticed that Itachi was sat next to me.

"What are you reading?" He inquired softly.

"Uh-" I was snapped back to reality "It's (favorite book)" 

I tilted the book a little so that he could see the cover. 

"Ah, I should read it sometime" The raven-haired man replies with a smile.

"He likes to read if I recall correctly"

"I've been enjoying it" I reassure him.

"Well then, do you mind if I use the tv?" He asks politely.

"Not at all!" I reply, before going back to my book.

(Dei pov)

I was walking into the kitchen in hopes of finding a snack. 

"Please let there still be goldfish"

Once I arrive in the kitchen I start rummaging through the cabinets. One bag of goldfish left! Bingo!!

I snatch the bag of snacks and wander over to the couch. (Y/n) is sitting on one side of the couch, alongside Itachi. He appeared to be watching the tv, while (Y/n) was reading something. 

"(Favorite book) huh? I wonder if it's any good-un."

 (Y/n's) (eye color) eyes were transfixed on the pages. Her eyes were practically gleaming. I could get so lost in those eyes, in fact, I already have. Something about them just holds my gaze captive. 

Forcing myself to stop staring at her before it got creepy, I sat on the other side of the couch. I stretched my legs out a little, getting comfy.

"Want some they're the last bag?" I ask shaking the bag in my hand.

"No thank you" Itachi declines my offer.

"(Y/n)?" 

No response.

I threw a goldfish at the (hair color) girl. 

"What the-" She griped.

"Do you want some of these goldfish? It's the last bag-un" I say flashing a grin.

 "Uh.... sure" She said shakily.

I grab a handful and pass the bag to (Y/n).

"Wait- I have something for you too" (Y/n) says.

"Oh?" I question, a playful grin appearing on my face.

She reaches in the pocket of her hoodie. She then walks over to me. 

Cheerfully (Y/n) says "Close your eyes!" 

" 'kay" I oblige.

I reach my hands out, her delicate hand places something in mine. 

"Ah" I say "I know what it is-un"

"Open them!" (Y/n says)

Sure enough in my hands lays a little butterfly. Painted now. It's an array of purples, greys, and blues. The detailing is covered in gold.

"It's magnificent!" I say through a smile

"You really think so?" She asks.

"Yeah" I chuckle.

"Good! I'm glad you like it, I was a little worried" (Y/n) says with a bit of a laugh.

Suddenly Itachi butted in "Can I see?"

"Yeah!" I happily comply.

I stretch out my hands to him. He picks up the delicate butterfly sculpture.

"You two make a good team" Itachi says.

My face gets warm and my stomach feels fuzzy. 

I manage to stifle a fake laugh and thank you, trying to hide the awkwardness.

"Thanks Itachi" (Y/n) says, her voice hit me out of nowhere, it struck one of my heartstrings making me even more nervous.

"Thanks for painting it (Y/n) it looks awesome" I manage to say.

"Of course! It was incredible without paint too, you know!" She returns the compliment.

We fell quiet, just looking at each other. Suddenly, however, we tore our gazes away from each other. Awkwardly returning to our activities.

"What is happening?'

(Timeskip Y/n pov)

I'm eating a late lunch with Hidan. We were sitting on the counters eating sandwiches. Food made by someone you care about is always better somehow. 

We just sat there in comfortable silence. 

"So, how have you been? What was your latest mission like?" Hidan asks, with a mouthful of food(rude).

"Oh, yeah that- it's really only been a day huh" I say.

I swallowed my food and continued "It was nice"

"You were gone for wayy too long" Hidan says, his voice laced with judgement.

"So, you were worried about me?" 

"I-" He muttered "Maybe. Only 'cause I don't trust those two artsy dumb*sses" 

"Well, I made it back in one piece" I add sarcastically, "I also, may have created a new jutsu" 

"What the h*ll? Really?" He asked sounded astounded.

"Well, it's more like a combination of one of my jutsus and... Deidara's" I explain. 

Hidan made a face, I couldn't really tell what his expression meant. 

"Ok, you should show me sometime" He reluctantly says, I don't think he's Blondie's biggest fan. 

I continue to chat with him, he just listened. He never seemed to get annoyed, no one back in Konoha acknowledged me, they never even tried to seem nice. Hidan might as well be my much older brother, protective with good intentions, kind to me, and he seems to actually care about me. Love and relationships are things I've never experienced or learned about, but I can say quite surely that I love Hidan. I may not be an expert about relationships, but I think I like them.

(a/n this story is starting to wrap up guys! thanks for sticking around for this long <333)
