New Year, New Love SasuNaru

Chapter 30: Be By My Side

Itachi Pov

A/N- This is a little update on Itachi and Deidara. So this was when the party was taken place.

Deidara and I was talking with Naruto. He seems really happy that Sasuke is back home safe and better. It makes me really happy that someone cares so dearly about my brother. "Sasuke had no idea about the party! It looks like he's having a great time. It's been a while since he's seen everyone!" "Well, they did come visit him while he was in the hospital, mostly you and Kiba." "That is true" Deidara said with a small smile. He looks over at Kiba and saw that he was talking with Sasuke. He had a soft smile and just kept looking his way. "Its been an hour since the party started and me and Sasuke haven't really finished a full conversation since Kiba keeps pulling him to the side." He said with a little laugh. I looked at Sasuke and looked back at Naruto. He turned back to me and sighed. "Don't worry, You'll have all night to talk to him. You are staying until Monday." His smile grew bigger and his eyes lit up. "That's right! This is going to be so much fun! Our first sleepover!" I was about to say something but when I saw Sasuke come back, I just smiled. He tapped Naruto's shoulder and Naruto turned around.

His smile grew even wider, if that was even possible. "Hey! Welcome back again.... Why does Kiba keep puling you to the side?" "You know how he is.... to tell me something weird." "Yeah... sounds like something Kiba would do." I smiled and tapped Deidara's shoulder letting him know we should take our leave so we can give them some privacy. He nodded and followed me into the backyard, where it was nice and quiet. We sat on the bench. "This is nice..." I said softly. He looked at me. I looked at him and then looked back into the house. "The house hasn't been this lively in such a long time..." "Yeah, everyone looks like their having such a great time." He said and patted my back. I looked at him and smiled.

I never told Deidara how I felt. I meant to tell him but that was the day the incident took place, so I never got the chance to after that. He has been by my side ever since we talked and gotten closer in the last two months. 'I will tell him my feelings, soon enough.' I got up and started walking around the yard. Seconds later, he got up and followed me. We both just walked around, enjoying each other's company, not caring about anything else. "Its been a calm but also crazy two months, huh?" I chuckled at his question. "Yeah, it has been." I stopped and turn towards him. He looked at me confused. "What? Something on my face?" He lifted his hand to his face to check. I smiled and removed his hand from his face. "It's just nice too look at you." He blushed and looked away. "O-oh come on n-now." My smile grew a little bigger. He rolled his eyes and started walking towards the door. "Come on, let's go back to the party." I nodded and followed him inside.

~30 Minute Time Skip~

I was in the kitchen getting me Deidara and I some food and drinks. The party is still lively but some of the guest are leaving one by one, which is understandable since it's getting late. I just smiled and continued to make our plates. I then felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Naruto with a annoyed expression on his face. I showed concerned. "Everything alright Naruto?" "Not really... 'Sighs' Do you mind if I can go upstairs and make a phone call?" "Not at all, go ahead. Use Sasuke's room, I'm sure he won't mind. Also Naruto, there's no need for you to ask, your welcomed to go anywhere in the house." He smiled and thanked me then went. 'I hope everything's okay....Now that I think about it, his boyfriend didn't show. That must be it.' I sighed, grabbed mine and Deidara's plate and went back into the living room. I sat the plates on the table and sat right next to him. He smiled. "Thank you Itachi." "No problem. Enjoy."

As we were eating and talking, Kiba decided to jump over the couch and sat down next me. I looked at him with a calm expression and a tiny smile. "Kiba, I would appreciate it if you dont jump over the couch like that." He rubbed the back of his neck with a nervous smile. "Sorry bout that, wont happened again." "Where's Sasuke?" "Sakura took him away, but I'm gonna take him back to talk to him." I laughed and took a bit of my food. "You guys seem to be fighting over Sasuke." "I wouldn't say 'Fighting' I would saayy. Taking turns. Yea, taking turns. We just missed him." I smiled at his comment. 'I'm glad Sasuke has such great friends that care about him dearly.' He got up from the couch and went to go find Sasuke. "Even though Sasuke probably didn't want to find friends ... he sure found some pretty great ones." I looked at Deidara and softly smiled. "Yeah, but it's more like....they found him and took him like they were already friends, mainly Naruto." He retuned my smile and rubbed my shoulder.
