Itachi flinched and glared testily at the blonde in front of him. Slurp. Chomp. Gulp.
Repeat. It disgusted Itachi to no end. Sometimes, Itachi wished he still lived with his annoying(dead) family. In his old house, dinner was eaten with few words, and politely. Without the disgusting noises that could be heard across the table.
This was not true for the Akatsuki.
The dinner table was loud, and no one ate with any manners except him, Sasori and Leader. Hidan rarely chose to eat, but rather stayed to chat. When he did, though, he counted as an exception.
But the rest, Kisame, Deidara, Kakuzu, Zetsu, and notably Tobi, ate like pigs. It made Itachi sick. Another thing that bothered him was the constant smell of alcohol, no matter how many times he made Tobi clean the area. No matter how many times he threw the well hidden sake away. The next dinner, almost everyone would be drinking it. Even Tobi, who, tragically, got drunk once. Itachi praised himself for being sober.
After all these thoughts, Itachi looked up once again at his companions. Malice radiated off of him. At one point, Tobi simply looked in his direction and yelped from fear. Slowly, the rest caught on, and soon, the table was silent. Slowly, he opened his eyes. The left twitched. "Eat. Like. Humans." He growled, squeezing his cup a bit too hard.
Kakuzu was the first to start eating again, this time, acting a bit less animal-like. The rest started again eventually. But one thing that Itachi enjoyed the most was the absolute silence. It was almost serene.
He took a deep breath and started eating, this time, in peace.
Slowly, the smell of alcohol went away. But so did the rest of the members. At last, about ten days later, he sat alone at the table. He wasn't bothered by that, no. But after awhile he did catch on to the dinner parties Kisame threw almost every night after his bed started smelling suspiciously like alcohol and Deidara.

Wow, and that started out as an ItaDei fic. ._.;
