title; Akatsuki Drabbles 1- 5

rating; t for teen

disclaimer; I own nothing.

a/n; Alright, first off, I want to apologize, everyone. I haven't been updating for a few weeks, but I haven't had the incentive. I'm going to try and get back on track. Also, I'm going to be very busy this month. In fact, I'm leaving Wednesday night until Father's Day for a Washington D.C. trip. I also have a LOT of church activities to work on this month. Including a trip. Plus Cedar Point. And a car wash, and a garage sale. Oh my. So yes, this should hold you until then, and I'll try to get Delinquents updated!

Oh, and this is basically random drabbles about the Akatsuki, and it WILL be continued. Enjoy, and please review! (If you could give me a random prompt, and a couple, that'd be wonderful. :P)

1;; Puppet (SasoriDeidara)

Sasori was a puppet, and nothing more.

He had no feelings, no life, and no heartbeat. No emotions, no expressions, and no regular bodily functions.

Sasori had none of these, and yet one day, he realized that he did have them. He realized that when you have someone special that you can put all of your trust into, that they all come back. The cadaver awakens.

The feelings blossom slowly, the life comes back into your eyes, the heartbeat begins to race. The emotions begin to show, mildly at first, then all the time, the expressions become more defined, and your palms begin to sweat. Your eyes widen. Everything is happier.

With Deidara by his side, Sasori knew that he was still a puppet, but he was free. He knew that being a puppet wasn't so bad, because eventually he would be Deidara's puppet.

And that was just fine with him.

2;; Peanut Butter and Banana (ItachiKisame)

Kisame never asked what Itachi's favorite food was, and he never thought he'd find out. That is, until one night when he couldn't sleep. For the longest time, he had stared at the ceiling, then, realizing his partner's bed was empty, he got up.

Searching the base, he finally found the teen in the kitchen, rifling through the cupboards. "Itachi-san? May I ask what you are doing?"

The prodigy glanced at him, pulling out peanut butter, bananas and gram crackers. "Making a midnight snack." Smirking, Itachi set them out on the counter, and grabbed a plate. Then, cutting the bananas into slices, he placed them on the crackers and lathered them in peanut butter.

Kisame, incredulous, watched in tired surprise. And when Itachi held out a "snack", he absent took it, speculating.

"…is it poisoned?"

"Just eat it."

Kisame sighed. I've lived a long life, anyway. Popping the treat in his mouth, the shark chewed hesitantly, then blinked in surprise. "Wow…these are actually good!"

"They are my favorite."

No, Kisame didn't need to ask what Itachi's favorite food was, because eventually he knew that the teen would tell him on his own.

3;; The Best Damn Thing (PeinKonan)

Pein couldn't take his eyes off of her. The way her body moved in time with the music, the way she smiled coyly at him, as if daring him to step forward.

But he didn't.

Her face fell slightly as she moved on, hips swinging mockingly- a cruel reminder of what he was missing. He watched as she gave another man a lap dance, and sighed.

Throwing a twenty on the bar's counter, he shrugged on his coat begrudgingly and walked, shoulders hunched, from the building. He knew that he could possibly be missing the best thing that would ever happen to him, but he kept walking.

That is, until his conscious took over and spun him right around, towards the bar. Then, with a grin, he walked back in.

4;; Eager (ItachiDeidara)

Itachi kept his face blank, trying not to show his anxiety as he glanced out the window again. His finger tapped without a beat on the page of his book, his foot swinging in a quick circle in the air. Kisame, on the other side of the room, grinned at him.

"Anxious, Itachi-san?"

"Shut up, Kisame."

"We're home, un."

Itachi, trying to compose the grin that seeped forward, almost jumped form the couch to greet Deidara. Sasori brushed past him in the other room, smirking to himself as the blond and the raven latched themselves onto another.

"I see you missed me, Itachi-kun, yeah."

The prodigy pressed the blond against the wall, smirking, as he traced the other's jaw line with his lips. Deidara grinned, licking his lips, as Itachi answered.

"No, I was just a little eager."

5;; Fairy Princess (ZetsuSasori)

"…Zetsu, what in the world are you doing?"

"Imma fairy princess, Puppet-Man. Duuuh."

"…why?" Sasori, blanching, stared down at Zetsu's half-submerged-in-the-floor eyes and the tiara resting precariously atop the plant's head. Zetsu grinned weirdly, coming up slightly to bite on Sasori's shoe and speak through the leather.

"Mhmmhm, my, mannaaaaa!"

"…what?"

"Because I wanna!" He growled, spitting out the leather and grinning again. Sasori shook his head, beginning to walk away, before Zetsu stopped him.

"…uhm, Sasori-danna?"

The puppet stopped, turning around. "What?"

"Will you be my fairy prince?"

Sasori stared at him a moment, then rose an eyebrow. "…are you on crack, Zetsu?"

"…maybe…?"

Sasori sighed. "Fine. …I'll be your fairy prince."
