Kun? Since when did we become that close to call me that, un? Deidara thought, his eyes flashing over to the other male. Yet... Strangely enough, he wasn't all that bothered by it. Blinking a few times, he tried to come up with a reason as to why... but couldn't think of any. I guess it just... fits, in a sort of way, un... He thought to himself. He then mused, slightly, that 'kun' rhymed with his usual phrase of 'un'. For some reason, that made him crack a small smile.
As they walked, Deidara soon became... bored. Now, usually, he wound up coming up with a silent way to entertain himself during long trips, and long bouts of traveling, as Sasori usually didn't approve of much noise. But, since he was with a different partner, this time around... He pulled out a small tune from the back of his mind. Humming it as they moved along, the blonde seemed to go from being slightly annoyed, to almost happy. Of course, he wasn't about to go dance about, laughing and giggling because of it. He just mearly kept the crack of a smile on his lips as he continued his tune, and stared at the road ahead.

[Itachi lifted his head in light surprise. Humming...? This Deidara. Itachi couldn't help but smile behind the veil of his collar. This one was light-hearted. A little free-spirited. With Kisame it was 'what next' and 'master Itachi'. This one had not only proved his sense of independance, but had also given the order, stood up to him, and after all of the that was smiling and humming a tune to keep him occupied. Itachi chuckled softly, silently, making sure Deidara wasn't here. Hold on now, Deidara knew nothing of him....]
[This meant he no longer had to hold his tough guy rouge. He could relax, loosen his shoulders. Itachi looked up and wondered if he would do it. Yes, he was going to do it. Itachi lifted his head into the air, closed his eyes, and making sure his lips were no longer smiling, merely expressionless, he began to hum the same tune, using his sense of imitating, hence his sharingan, to catch on quickly.]

Deidara glanced at Itachi, still humming. It shocked him, almost, when the other male joined in. He assumed the Uchiha was probably using some method to learn the tune, as it wasn't a very common one. Giving a slightly wider smile, he turned his head slightly to the other side of him to hide it, a bit. It pleased him that the raven-haired man had joined him, yet he was trying to figure out exactly why.
Later on while walking, Deidara repeated the main tune for a moment, making sure Itachi was still following, before slipping into a harmony. He let his smile show, this time, as he was enjoying this thouroughly. It was entertaining, and somehow, he knew he was seeing a new and different side of Itachi. Yet... the other male had changed his mind quickly again. That would be something he needed to keep track of.

[Itachi opened one eye, and decided to do something without the blonde's knowledge. He just wanted to see. Focusing his chakra into his eyes, his sharingan came into place, and Itachi got a view of Deidara when he looked back at him. Itachi's eyes were hidden by thick bangs, but he could see through due to his sharingan. Wow. Deidara was....Itachi closed his eyes once he finished copying the movement of Deidara's throat and the tone in which he was emitting the sound, thus copying the harmony. Itachi began to hum along again, with much more precision.]
[He had been a tad confused at first, and hadn't known how to act around Deidara. But now, seeing as he was humming, which he hadn't done in over seven years, alongside the fellow Akatsuki, he decided he was alright. Had it only been an hour or so since they had met and began walking that he found himself already so adequate with this individual? Itachi continued to hum the melody, much more accurate in his notes and use of lyrical points. He was enjoying this walk, for once. Had it been one of the others he would have gone into his attitude of bloodlust.]
[But right now, it was alright. Itachi was still of course a murderer, and always would be. But that's just who he was. He enjoyed taking lives. But that didn't mean he was any better besides that fact, right? Itachi smiled at this thought, forgetting to conceal his smile this time however as he continued humming.]

Deidara glanced over at Itachi when his notes became more proficient with the tune. That just about set the baseline that the Uchiha was using something to help him learn it. Just as he was about to look away, however, he noted that the other male was... smiling. The harmony was dropped slightly, as the smile destracted him for a moment, before it came back fully as he looked away.
When they began repeating the tune for one more time, Deidara switched back to the Melody, his voice carrying a little louder then it had been when he first started. This was definately better then walking in silence with a somewhat cold puppeteer...

[Itachi noticed the melody had been dropped and opened one of his coal-colored eyes. He could see out of them now since he had used the Sharingan recently, and color tinted his cheeks when he was being looked upon. Why? He then caught himself, noticing he was smiling. He merely continued humming, but brought his lips back to their normal, straight lined expression. He didn't smile often. But then again, he was with Deidara-kun, not with that bastardized Kisame. He couldn't contain himself from releasing the smile once more, making no move to hide it.]
[He matched the volume of Deidara's voice, his ponytail swaying with each step. This was one of the best walks he had taken since he had...well, this was the best walk he had ever had. He couldn't think of a better one. Itachi's eyes remained closed, a small smile gracing his lips, and a melodic tune soaring into the air.]

When the tune eventually stopped, Deidara grinned a bit. "Didn't know that you liked to hum, Itachi-san, un." He murmered. Before he could get an answer, he brought up another tune. It was a bit lighter, and more merry, but he still kept his calm, yet smiling, demeanor. It was also a longer tune, and the blonde wouldn't repeat it.
Glancing over at Itachi, a sudden, light blush covered his cheeks. Here he was, seeming so cheerful around the other male, who in turn had joined in... he was un-used to it, and his different atitude towards the other man had kicked in again. Turning his head to the side again, he tried to conceal the blush and get it under control. It was not something he did often...

[Thought's ran through Itachi's mind when Deidara looked at him, blushing. It was really nice. Itachi suddenly blinked one or twice in confusion of his own thoughts. It was nice? There was another anomoly within himself Deidara seemed to bring out. Itachi looked off to the side when the same blush began to n** at his own cheeks, coloring them a light pink. Humming wasn't the only thing Itachi found himself joyed over. This time, his eyes went wide and his face burst into color at the thought of his last inward statement.]
"...Neither did I, Deidara-kun...."
[He said lightly, shaking his head gently to get rid of the blush, though it only returned to the same soft tint he had posessed before, not completely going away. To occupy himself, he began humming the same tune as well, easily catching onto it now that Deidara's movements had been copied into his mind. His throat movements, his adam's apple vibrations, his beautifully colored skin, his-Itachi merely sighed at that thought. He was losing his mind as well as his sight then. Women were too much to put up with, and although did Itachi find himself lacking a love, he didn't know if Deidara would even consider it.]
[Was he actually thinking if Deidara would accept him as his-No. Stay focused on the song and on the mission, Uchiha. He stated this within his mind, mentally kicking himself for upsetting the delicate balance he held.]

Deidara continued the tune, noting that Itachi hummed with him the same way he'd done before. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't keep his blush under control. Eventually, he just allowed his face to show, ready to answer any questions, if Itachi asked about it. His mind wandered, the same way the Uchiha's was, and eventually, he became so involved in them that he dropped the tune completely, staring almost blankly at the road ahead.
Deidara wondered what his issue was that day, as the moved on, his voice no longer an element of their travel. Had he somehow become... attracted to the other male? No, that couldn't be it... or could it? Itachi was supposidly one of the most feared of the Akatsuki, a heartless killer who showed no emotion, or so he'd heared. He now came to learn that... he hummed very nicely, sharingan or not... his smile was almost dreamy, and... without that hat he seemed a bit fond of, the blonde was able to notice how his bangs framed his face, just slightly...
Deidara continued these thoughts, almost becoming inresponsive to anything around him, mechanically moving forwards.

"...."
[He noticed how Deidara had stopped humming, and decided now was a good a time as ever. From his pace next to his side, Itachi's eyes loomed to their corners so he could get a look of the blonde. What he saw nearly made him buckle over in awe. His long blonde hair fell perfectly in front of his face, a scultped face and smooth features, almost feminine but too proud and exhilirating to be classified as such. His eyes seemed to capture Itachi's, and Itachi could not help but hold his eyes in that position, merely staring at him.]
[It was then he realized what was happening. He had actually become infatuated with Deidara. How, he did not know, but he had. He could not get the Akatsuki member from his mind. But a thought occured to him. What if Deidara had heard the rumors of him? What if Deidara thought he was a bloodthirsty monster? Itachi was bloodthirsty indeed, but did not think of himself as a monster[/]. But what if Deidara did? Itachi decided he would attempt and pinpoint Deidara's position of him by putting it out there, and simply spoke, staring forward and avoiding the Akatsuki members eyes entirely for now.]
"Just out of curiosity...Deidara-kun...what do you think of your partner of this mission...me, I mean...?"

Deidara almost stopped in his tracks as the question pierced through his thoughts. Another, deeper, blush appeared on his cheeks, and he lowered his head slightly to allow the collar of his cloak to conceal it, slightly. Attractive... should go without a hat more often... probably should go without a cloak, too... "Uhm... okay, un." That was brilliant, un...
Deidara physically reached up and hit himself over the forhead. "Uh, I mean... well, I dont know much about you, save for some rumors that you've already, sorta, proved wrong... I guess... Yeah, un." He said quickly, trying to make up for what he'd just said. It was hard to really say that without blurting other things out, which had been going through his head not too long before.

"Mm, hmhmhmhm."
[He was actually giggling. It was a pretty nice one too. His voice was sort of low, but it was velvety and the giggle came out sounding much better than one who thought of Itachi would think. The color of Deidara's cheeks was quite the shade of red. Itachi looked off, smiling. Deidara was hiding something, and Itachi could tell. He had numerous forms of training, the Akatsuki, Sharingan practice, the ANBU squadron, and all had involved him seeing through deception. Itachi shook his head, and decided he would leak something from Deidara.]
"Your funny, Deidara-kun...so then...what do you wish to know?"
[With an Uchiha, normally, it was never beating around the bush, it was straight to the point. But a shinobi was supposed to be patient, and that was probably was the most advanced Uchiha. Well, that and he was the only one alive, save for his dissapointment of a brother. Itachi looked over his shoulder to look at Deidara again, and turned his head forward. He felt good, for some reason. Once again, that same blush colored his cheeks.]

Deidara's cheeks had turned brighter as he listened to Itachi's giggle. It was kindof nice... yet, once again, the other male's speaking broke him out of his thoughts. "Uhm..." He mumbled, actually stopping this time to think. Shifting his head to stare at the ground, there were several questions bubbling up, and he had to push practically all of them down.
Finally, "Then... what do you think of me, un?" He asked. It was only fair, right? Deidara looked up again and where Itachi was, still just standing where he'd stopped, the blush on his cheeks ever-evident.

[He too had to mimick Diedara's actions, stopping in his stroll and attempting to hide the great shade of maroon that blanketed his facial features. Lifting his hand to brush off a non-existant piece of dirt from his cloak, he cleared his throat, trying to play it off like he had done all of it on purpose. That had been expected, but Itachi still had hoped he wouldn't have asked. Still, equivelant exchange, right? Itachi looked up to the road ahead of them, and managed to push the blush down, but as he continued to think about Deidara it had returned as quick as it had gone.]
"...I find you...enjoyable to be around, Deidara-kun...."
[He said lightly, happy he didn't have to face the Akatsuki member fully and show him the blush that was all over his cheeks. The amount of heat coming off of his face was simply extravagant in size.]

Deidara gave off a bit of a cough as his blush deepened twofold. I'm... enjoyable to be around... He thought, echoing Itachi's words. Reaching up and pressing a hand to one of his cheeks, he could feel the heat off of them, as his face had lit up almost like a christmas tree. "You too... Itachi-san, un..." He mumbled, before he lifted a foot and placed it in front of the other, forcing himself to walk forwards again.
"Uhm... We should probably continue on... Leader-sama want's this as done as soon as possible, un..." He wanted an excuse to move on so that he could have time to get ahold of his blush. "We should get to Konohagakure and to the inn by dusk... We'll have to disguise ourself a few miles from the gate, as to not get noticed, un..." He then said. More thoughts, more mechanical movement, and somehow, the inibility to control his blush. But I bet he doesn't think of me that way... Or other males, in that way, even... He thought, not having looked up and at Itachi enough to see his blush.
