Artists' Perspective [Deidara x Reader]

The Sand Village-Chapter 42

(Deidara pov, kinda time rewind to when Y/n is getting ready)

I was just lounging around the kitchen, when Sasori and Hidan came up to me demanding I go with them. Sasori was acting pretty frantic-well not really, but frantic for his usual demeanor-which kind of worried me at the time; he was also wearing dress pants and a button down, which was very strange. I now know he was just concerned about this mission and that we have to go in disguise. He gets nervous that way about mission sometimes. He told me that we're going into the city for a covert surveillance mission, he gave me a suit to wear as well. I'm not wearing the jacket though. Hidan also suggested I wear my hair down to look more civilian like. 

(The suit would look like this v)

Honestly, Pain should've picked someone else to go on this mission with Sasori; I'm not exactly stealthy. At least Hidan is staying behind for this one, I guess he just wanted to give me fashion advice, all of my friends are weird.

I do enjoy the Sand Village though, since the architecture is nice, but I'm not really looking forward to having to wear my hair down all night, it gets too hot. 

(Y/n pov) 

I had gotten my hair and makeup done by Konan and I'm now reading and sipping on some chocolate milk before I have to leave for my mission. The excitement of my upcoming mission was starting to grow. The day was starting to subtly turn to night, peaking my eagerness even further. 

"Hello (Y/n)" A gentle but deep voice said.

"Hi, Itachi" I say kindly.

"You have to leave soon right?" Itachi asked.

"Uh-huh!" I respond.

The raven-haired man pondered for a moment before responding with, "I have a mission and Sunagakure is on the way there. I could go with you if you want. I know you haven't done a solo mission before" 

His tone went from confident and relaxed to a bit shy and bashful. I think about it for a bit before coming up with a response.

"Um- yeah. That sounds good" I say, "Are you sure though? I don't want to be any trouble"

"Of course, it wouldn't be any trouble. I just wanted to make sure you were okay on your own" He responds sweetly. 

Looking out for myself is all I've ever known, Itachi actually caring about me and wanting me to be okay is surprising and feels amazing.

"Oh- well I'm fine on my own but, thank you. That would actually be really nice"   

(A/n: I think that Itachi would be like the kindest most gentle person ever to his loved ones which is kinda canon but whatever)
