Love Me for Who I am

It's been a few months since Deidara lost his partner Sasori, as each day passes by he slowly comes around. "I hope the boss soon finds him a new partner I don't know how much more of his shit I can take" Kisame looked up at Hidan who just walked into the hideout. "The boss is working on it, give him time" he goes back to reading the scroll that he has. The blonde bomber walked right by them into the kitchen; he opens the fridge and grabs a bottle of water from it and closes it then sits at the table with the bottle in his hands, staring into space. "Hopefully his new partner will be female and he can get laid, he really needs it" "I couldn't agree more Kisame" Deidara didn't bother looking at them or responding all he did was open the bottle and drink from it. Hidan goes to Pein's chambers to talk to him about something. Kisame gets up and goes over to Deidara "Hey kid it's been a couple of months since his death. Cheer up you're driving us all mad." Deidara looks at Kisame. "You didn't lose your partner now did you un? You were never close to him where you un?" Kisame was left speechless at his outburst and quickly apologizes and leaves. Deidara sighs and gets up and goes out side and takes a walk.

A couple hours later a girl was lead into Diedara's room, "This is you and your partner's room, enjoy your stay" Konan turned and walked back to Pein's chambers. Celeste walks into the room and looks around she then goes and sits on the bed opposite of the one that had stuff on it. She wasn't sure if her new partner was male or female and wouldn't know until he or she got back.

It was late when Deidara returned to the hideout he went into his room and plopped on his bed and fell asleep not noticing Sasori's old bed was now occupied. Celeste heard the door open and close then the sound of the other bed sagging under its occupant's weight. She closed her eyes and fell back to sleep.

Deidara awoke the next morning and sat up, he had slept in his clothes and knew he needed a shower. He got up and got some clean clothes and went into the bathroom closing the door behind him. Celeste woke up when she heard the door closing, she yawned and stretched then got out of bed.

Deidara finished his shower and stepped out grabbing a towel. He wrapped it around his waist then brushed his teeth. He then got dressed and went into his room where he saw Celeste for the first time; he stopped dead in his tracks. "Good Morning, I'm your new partner Celeste," she said looking at him, with his long hair and baggy shirt it made it hard to tell if he was male or female. Deidara walked over to her and looked her over, he liked what he saw, she was pretty, was a human, had long dark curly hair that hand dark blue highlights, her eyes were onyx in color. She wore a black mesh shirt with the sewn in tub top over the akatsuki pants. "So you're the strong silent type, are you a girl or a boy?" He didn't answer he simply waved her off and went to get his shoes and cloak. "Don't ignore me!" she grabbed him by the front of his shirt and got a good view of his chest. "Oh my god you're a male! My partner is a boy!" "My name is Deidara, un" "Oh now you can talk" she lets go of his shirt. Deidara turned to face her crossing his arms over his chest. "So my new partner is a female, not bad at all" a smile crosses his lips for the first time in awhile.

They both left the room and headed to the kitchen where the others were. "What is everyone waiting for?" "Konan usually cooks, and her and Pein are out on a mission, and well none of us can really cook save for Deidara who can only cook scrambled eggs" Celeste looked from person to person then came up with an idea and goes into the kitchen, Deidara follows her just to see what she is going to do.

Celeste gets a pan out and sets it on the stove then she gets a bowl out of the cupboard. "Deidara, do you have a waffle iron or pancake maker?" "If we do own one of those things it would be under the cupboard next to the stove,un." She opened the cupboards and looked through the stuff then pulled a pancake maker out and plugged it in to get it heated up. "Ok now that I have that, I will need a stick of butter, some milk, some eggs, flour, and a ginger ale" Deidara goes around the kitchen and gets her the stuff she asked for. Once Celeste has all that she needs she proceeds to make pancake batter. "Deidara, while I'm making the pancakes you can scramble the eggs" He nods and gets another stick of butter out of the fridge then a bowl from the cupboard and a whisk from the drawer. He cracks a bunch of eggs into the bowl then uses the whisk and scrambles them, the adds butter to the pan on the stove and turns it on to melt it. Celeste adds the ginger ale to the pancake batter and stirs it in. "Um aren't you supposed to use water,un?" "Ginger Ale makes the pancakes fluffier and besides you can't taste the difference" She pours some of the batter into a measure cup then she takes a stick of butter and rubs it onto the pancake maker coating both of the hot iron plates with butter. Deidara goes to the door and opens it "Tobi get your ass in here and get plates, silverware, butter, ketchup and the syrup out and set the table,un!" "Tobi?" Right as she says his name a man wearing a mask on his face comes into the kitchen and gets the stuff that Deidara told him to get and goes to set the table. "That's Tobi, he can be a huge pain in the ass when he wants to be, other then that he's really friendly, me and him are the two easiest to befriend,un." Celeste nods and goes back to making pancakes. Deidara dumps the eggs into the pan then using a spatula he flips them so they don't burn. Celeste gets another spatula out and flips the pancakes with it. After a while Deidara dumps the hot eggs into a bowl and sets them on the counter, he then gets some bread out of the bread box and begins to make toast. "Ugh looks like either me or Tobi will be sent to the market to get stuff, I hate market day,un" Celeste laughs and puts the pancakes on a plate then looks at him. "I could go with you, it would make it easier, since I need some feminine things and I'm pretty sure Konan might need them to." Deidara goes red in the face " Yes a females help at the market would be helpful to me un"

After a few minuets they carry the pancakes, eggs, and toast out and set them on the table then take their seats. "I see Konan isn't the only one who can cook and pancakes to boot!" "Hey Baka I made the eggs un!" Celeste just laughs as Deidara and Hidan argued about the eggs. "You also made the toast" Deidara laughed and agreed on that one. They all took there share of food and ate breakfast in silence before it was broken by a well timed belch from Hidan. "Pig what do you say?" "Oink Oink" "Very funny, now say excuse me" Hidan chuckled then said Excuse me. Celeste set her teacup on the table and finished her toast. "Since Celeste was nice enough to cook and Deidara to, I will do the dishes." They all looked at Kisame who stood up and gathered the dirty dishes and went into the kitchen. Hidan got up and went into the kitchen. "Well I never thought Deidara's new partner would be a chick." "Yeah and a hot one at that, you think they will be come a couple?" "Who knows but they seem to be getting along better then this morning when they first met, Tobi told me everything." Kisame turns the water on and adds dish soap to the sink. Hidan reaches over and turns the hot water tap on as well. "Hot water works better then cold sashimi for brains"

Deidara and Celeste got up and went into the living room; they sat next to each other on the couch. "I'm glad we're getting alone better then this morning." "Me to, even though it was funny, by they way you're not the only who had a hard time telling my gender, others do as wel unl." She laughed and them smiled "Don't take it personally if I get nervous around you, I never been with a male before, matter a fact I've never seen a male naked before either." Deidara turned his attention to her "So you're saying you're a virgin un?" "Yes and you?" He went red in the face then scratched the back of his head. "Yes I'm a virgin to…and before you ask no I'm not gay never was, I like girls, everyone thought because I was so close to Sasori that we were gay for each other un." "I would I have punched who ever started that" "Tobi was the idiot who started it un" Celeste laughs, "It seems that Tobi is the instigator around here." Deidara picked up the TV remote and clicks the TV on and goes through the channels. "If it's not Tobi its Hidan or Kisame starting a fight, Itachi will but rarely start a fight, he has to be super pissed off about something before he will stir up trouble un." " I think I will stick to you, at least if I get into trouble, it will be with you" "Gee thanks un" He laughs and stops on a channel "What the hell is this un?" Celeste turns her attention to the TV. "That would be a horror movie, one I saw years ago, hope you have a strong stomach" "What's it called. Oh that was gross un! " She laughs then pats his shoulder "The movie is called Hellraiser, very gory and bloody, but a good movie, best to watch it with someone, so you can be scared together." He smiles and sets the remote down and looks at her "Then lets be scared together un."
