Words Hurt

Chapter 1

. . . . .

Well, I enjoy making h/c stories for Sasori and Deidara, soooo… yeah.

I'm planning on making this story about 2 to 3 chapters long, I know too short, with about 2000 words per chapter. And sorry to all Hidan lovers, but I have censored out his mouth, I don't really like cursing. -_-

So yeah, here it is, hope you like it! ^_^

. . . . .

Sasori's POV

Today was starting out pretty good. It's been a normal and quiet morning in Akatsuki. Well, forget normal, there's nothing normal about quietness. But that didn't make it any less of a treasure.

Part of the reason was probably because Tobi was on some mission all the way across the country with Zetsu. Poor plant man….

For some reason, even the brat was being strangely quiet today. In fact, this anomaly had started around this time yesterday, and I was enjoying every second of it.

About then Itachi walked into the kitchen where I was sitting drinking coffee. He still looked half asleep and nearly ran into the door frame. Tobi was really the only morning person here in Akatsuki.

"Where's Kisame?" I asked

"Getting dressed; what about Deidara?" he replied sitting down with a cup of hot tea in his hand.

"I don't know," I answered truthfully. Now it may seem weird that I didn't even know where my own partner was, but he could take care of himself. The brat didn't need to have someone watching over him all of the time.

It was at that time that Kisame came in, followed by Hidan and Kakuzu.

"Morning," Hidan said, too tired to bother using profanities.

Shortly after they entered, so did leader Pein and Konan, the latter which began to prepare breakfast. That was always her job; everyone present at the base had a job. Mine happened to be fixing anything that got broken. It was a terrible one considering how many fights tended to break out here.

Glancing around, I noticed that Deidara hadn't bothered to come to breakfast wherever the brat was. No one else seemed to notice, considering they were all to tired and where barley staying awake as it was.

Konan began passing out plates of pancakes to everyone before sitting down in front of her own plate. The only reason I continued to consume food was to replenish my energy in chakra. I sometimes actually wished that I could taste food at times.

Oh well, that wasn't important. All I wanted to do right now was enjoy this peaceful morning.

"Het Sasori, where's blondie?" Hidan asked, obviously more awake now.

"I don't know," I answered, for the second time today.

"Shouldn't you know where your own partner is?" Pein asked, staring at me.

"Fine, fine, I'll go see where the brat is," I grumbled, leaving the room. I guess I wouldn't be able to enjoy this unusually quiet morning. He was probably still in bed. Like I said, Akatsuki members weren't morning people, so it was usually up to one partner to drag the other out of bed.

Sadly that was my job, which I hadn't bothered to do this morning. But I was slightly surprised when I entered our room to find Deidara awake and fully dressed. He was sitting at his desk making something.

"Hey brat, you need to come out for breakfast," I said, walking up to him.

"…."

"Brat, it's time for breakfast," I growled, angry that he had ignored me.

"….."

I sighed and left the room, this was too much work for 8:00 in the morning.

I went back into the kitchen and sat down where my now lukewarm coffee still was. "The brat's still in our room," I said, answering the unasked question on everyone's' minds.

"Isn't he coming out?" Itachi asked emotionlessly, as usual.

"No," I answered, taking a sip from my caffeinated beverage. Everyone, save for Itachi, looked at me expectantly but I said nothing. What was there to say? It's as though they felt I should go and see what was wrong with him. Yeah, like that'd happen.

"Do you know why?" Kisame asked. Of course, they really do expect me to know what's wrong.

"No," I answered getting up and leaving the room once again. I didn't want to be asked all of these questions so early in the morning; I just wanted to relax quietly. But apparently that's asking for too much.

Oh well, considering the brat had finally learned to be quiet, I could go relax in our room. Hiruko did need some work to make the inside a little more comfortable. It might as well be considering how long I spend in that thing.

As I walked into the room, the first thing I noticed was Deidara glaring at me. Oh well, I could ignore that. I sat down at my desk then summoned Hiruko. Opening him up, I began to examine it. What could I do to make the inside of a puppet more comfortable?

I began to install some cushions that I had found earlier; they had been in abandoned store. I took some nails and began to install the plush cushions into the puppet. I then made some holes for ventilation purposes.

I turned briefly, to grab more nails, when I noticed that the blonde was still glaring at me. I mean, sure, it had only been five minutes, but it was getting creepy. I had thought that he would only be doing this for like a minute. But for some reason the brat was being persistent today.

"What do you want brat?" I asked, returning his glare.

"Tch," he answered, turning away somewhat angrily. Well someone was being moody; I don't know what it was with teens. I have never been like this, and I've been a teen for about twenty years now.

Maybe I'd ask him about it later. It felt weird having someone angry at you when you didn't even know why. What could I have possibly done to make him like this? He usually just shrugged off anything rude or offensive that I said within a few minutes.

Sighing, I stored away Hiruko and put my tools back where they belonged on my desk. I got up and went to the kitchen; maybe some food would make him less grumpy. He did skip breakfast this morning after all.

I walked in, no one was there anymore. They had all left to go on missions or something. But that was good; I didn't need anyone thinking that I actually cared. Which I don't by the way!

I grabbed a few of the leftover pancakes and two cups of tea before going back to the room.

"Here brat," I said, handing him the plate and one of the cups. His glare softened briefly but immediately went back to the furious looking one he had given me before. I shrugged it off and left the room.

It was getting seriously uncomfortable to be around the brat. Was he always this rude? I always thought of it as Itachi's thing to glare at others and give them the silent treatment. So far, the only answers I had gotten from him were glares and a 'tch.'

Maybe if I went and yelled at him or something he would react; the brat did have a short temper. No, I really didn't feel like yelling and making a scene for no apparent reason. Then I would look like some kind of drama queen; which was Konan's job.

Maybe if I stayed patient and asked him what's wrong, he'll answer. Yeah, I'd go with that plan; after lunch. I had some relaxation to catch up on right now.

. . . . . .

Ok, it's time to go see what's wrong with my blonde partner. Walking into the room, I approached him as he glared at me cautiously.

Deidara's POV

I eyed danna suspiciously as he approached me. Was he just going to yell and insult me like he did the other night?

Flashback …..

Tears were streaming down my face as I yelled," Sasori danna, why are you saying that un!?"

"Because it's true you impudent brat! I don't even know why we're partners!" he shouted at me.

"What does that mean un?" I almost sobbed, trying to regain my composure. I couldn't look like a complete baby; then I would only be proving him right.

"Are you honestly that stupid!? You're just a sniveling little brat! All you ever do is hold me back; prevent me from getting things done quickly! You're a burden to me!" he shouted, grabbing my shirt color.

"Stop it un!" I screamed in desperation, yanking free from his grip. Why was he saying these things to me? I thought we were friends….

"Don't be so rude brat!" he shouted, his hand slapping me across the face, hard. I staggered back, my eyes wide in shock. Sasori-no-danna just slapped me!

"Danna-" I began but was cut off by him.

"Don't call me that you brat; I'm not your danna," he growled, pushing me onto the ground. I just sat there on the floor, sobbing until he left. Why would he say such things to me; what had I done wrong. This had all started out as just one of our usual arguments about art, and nothing more at the time. I don't really even remember how it turned into this, but his insults were still fresh in my brain. And the things he said to me hurt, a lot. When I was finally able to compose myself more, I dragged myself back to our room. He was already asleep when I got there; good, I didn't want to talk to him.

I crawled into bed and wept silently until I fell into a light sleep.

Flashback end …

It didn't matter, I didn't want to hear anything that he had to say.

"Deidara," he said, stopping in front of me.

"What un?" I said venomously.

"What's wrong?" he asked, genuinely confused.

I can't believe it! He went and said those things to me and now he couldn't even remember it! I just glared at him hatefully, choosing not to answer his question. For if I did I would probably end up shouting, getting everyone's attention, then breaking into tears.

"Come on brat, you can tell me," he said calmly.

"Don't call me a brat Sasori un," I said furiously. His eyes widened in complete shock; I just continued to glare.

Sasori's POV

I was in a serious state of shock right now. As silly as it sounded, it was because the blonde didn't call me danna. He had never called me just Sasori without a danna at the end.

Something serious must have happened, and it obviously involved me. Right now I was just looking at him shocked.

"Deidara.." I said reaching out at him.

"Just go away un!" he hissed.

"Why won't you just tell me what's wrong!?" I asked loudly, making him flinch. I saw fear flash in his eyes before it turned into a kind of angry sadness.

"It's nothing un," he muttered sadly, leaving the room. Why didn't I remember whatever it was that had happened? I usually had such a great memory. And whatever I had said or done must have seriously hurt my blonde partner.

Now I just had to find out what happened and then fix it. But I should wait until he calms down; tomorrow after breakfast would be good. I hope this all works itself out in the end.
