My Brother's Fiancè

Sixty Five - Sachi's curiosity

Deidara found himself sitting at the dining room eating breakfast with his otouto's in laws. He was sitting beside his nephew whose sitting beside his father. He couldn't help but sigh internally,  he felt as though he couldn't swallow the food he was eating. He never imagine having breakfast with the Uchihas is this awkward. Silence filled the air as everyone is busy either eating their breakfast or, for Itachi and Fugaku reading a newspaper while sipping on their coffee.

He suddenly miss eating with his family where their morning usually starts with Kushina knocking on their doors waking each of them up to have breakfast before they gone off for work. They would talk about ramdom things like how their days went, what they'll be up to on that particular day and so on.

Kushina always ask them these things. It was her way to catch up on anything that's happening to her sons. He find it odd that the usually talkative kid beside him is behaving like an Uchiha he should be which was very different from how the kid behave at their estate.

He was looking at his food and thought something was missing. He was about to ask one of the maid but was interrupted by Mikoto.

" Dei, honey? What's wrong? You barely touch your plate. Would you like anything? " Mikoto asked concern.

When Deidara look up to meet Mikoto he regretted it, for all of the attention was suddenly focus on him. Fugaku and Itachi put down the newspaper they were reading and look at him. Waiting for his response.

" Uncle?  Don't you like the food? " the kid asked curiously.

" Oh no,  no, I'm alright.  And the food is great Aunty. " Deidara smiled and touch his nephew's hair.

" Could you get a glass of water with honey?." Sasuke said looking at their butler. Said butler oblidged and order one of the maid to prepare one in an instant.

All of their eyes were on Sasuke this time and he just continue eating ignoring the looks directed at him.

" Sasuke sweetheart since when did you like to drink that in the morning. " Mikoto asked.

" It's not for me. " Sasuke answered. As if on cue, the maid returned with the glass of water requested and placed it on Deidara's table as instructed by Sasuke.

Deidara was taken aback wondering how the younger Uchiha knew about his preferred drink in the morning. He said his thank you and sip on the glass as if testing the sweetness of it. He was delighted that it was prepared according to his liking.

" How did you know that Uncle Dei likes it?" the kid asked the question the others were hesitating to ask.

" Sachi baby.." Deidara put his hand at the kid's head as if to reprimand him with the way he asked his other uncle.

" Sorry. " the kid said apologetically.

" Just a guess. " Sasuke casually said.

" Such a good guess. " Itachi said, sipping his coffee.

" Karin seems to like it. " Sasuke replied. Although, Deidara doesn't seem to buy it he smiled when Mikoto look at him as if waiting for an answer.

" Ah, yeah. He's right about that. We had her drink it every morning because of her morning sickness. " Deidara said smiling.

While his explanation was true. Deidara got that habit from Naruto. His brother said he started liking to drink water with honey when he was pregnant with Sachi.

" Chichi likes drinking water with honey too. " the kid said happily as if giving a trivia.

" Really." Mikoto commented which was a statement and look at Itachi to which she earned a "hn" from his son.
