Aiko surprised herself when the words flew from her lips before she could thinkโ
โYes. Iโll walk with you.โ
Itachiโs expression softened, if even just a tick to her quick agreement to accompany him. He thought better of teasing her about it, content with the slight hue shift of her cheeks.
Itachiโs eyes drifted along her body briefly before giving her a curt nod and beginning their walk around Konaha.
It wasnโt long before Aiko broke the silence with her head turned toward the Uchiha with a grin on her face. โWhy did you invite me on a walk, Tachi?โ
Itachiโs bangs shifted as he looked down at the woman, his dark eyes taking in her playful expression. Did she know something ?
โWhy do you agree so quickly?โ
Aikoโs brow twitched, her lips parting slightly as her expression turned defensive. โQuickly?โ She huffed. โHardly.โ Finishing off the words with an eyeroll. She was about as hidden as glass.
โHm. I invited you because I enjoy your company, Aiko-chan.โ Annoying as he was honest, Aiko thought. Her eyes returned to him, his blank expression peering back.
โDonโt look so miserable, then.โ Aiko stepped closer and uncrossed her arms. Without the slightest hesitation she reached up and pressed her fingers against his cheeks. She pushed until his lips formed a smile, almost mirroring her toothy grin.
โBetter.โ She chuckled, the slight hue returning to her cheeks like a reward for Itachi.
