Kisame lowkey suspects Itachi has an illness. Overtime Kisame begins to pick up on subtle indicators that Itachi has depression on top of this, and notices a gradual decline in his mood lately. Keep in mind Kisame isn’t fully aware of the impact Itachi has faced after the coup d'etat as Itachi has to ensure that is kept under the wraps; therefore, Kisame knows Itachi has depression but is not fully aware as to why.  

Despite the two having a mutual agreement to not meddle in each others private affairs, Kisame decides to take him out at a local ramen shop on their way back from a mission. Of course, a place where the Akatsuki is not well known, yet. This is under the guise Kisame is hungry. Of course that is only half the truth. 

Kisame is always hungry. 

Itachi declines to have anything accept tea, which Kisame knew this would happen. Considering how bad Itachi’s depression is developing, anything to coax him into eating helps. He orders a bowl of ramen and orders a large plate of dangos. Kisame isn’t a big fan of sweets himself, and realizes he “should have ordered a smaller plate of dangos”. 

Without saying anything, Itachi is passed the plate of dangos. Itachi couldn’t resist and takes the rest of the plate for himself. It is not well known aside from Kisame, who spends a great deal of time with Itachi, that he naturally attracts crows around him outside with no viable explanation as to why that is. 

So Itachi offers a small amount of his dangos to his newly found companions as the two enjoy what would be considered a somewhat mudane peaceful moment for the two s-ranked criminals. Knowing that another peaceful moment shared between the two may not come again.
