Author's Note: Okay, well... It's my first fanfiction so please don't bash it too much. Dx I am just trying hard! I swear~~ This is mostly a bit of OOCness about it. Mostly fluff. Eheh. I love SasoDei or DeiSaso fluff. This is a continuation of Come Back To Me and AllThingsAnime123's fanfictions. The Sandaime's name came from "Come Back To Me's" yahoo search. It's Satetsu which literally means "Iron Sand". So enjoy. Critiques are welcome, but just don't bash too much. Oh dear repetition. Such a shame. BYTHEWAY: The Akatsuki is in an apartment in the Rain Village. It's before the whole Gaara business. Also pretty dramatic as it comes to an end, most likely a oneshot, I dunno. Depends on how good of reviews I get. Fufu. OH! By the way. DISCLAIMER: I do not own the characters of this story, or the words Shinobi, Iwagakure, Sandaime, Sunagakure, or possibly Kazekage.
Sasori's P.O.V.
I've finally found the love of my life, my partner. And I love this person with all of my heart. The best part is, I'll have them all to myself in a short time. You see, I've recently proposed to said person and it feels like we're meant for each other. He loves me and I love him. So why shouldn't this work? I mean, I'm a human puppet but I care for him. He truly is a work of art; his perfectly azure orbs, his blond hair and his cute, almost feminine, frame. I love everything about him, so that's why I want him to last forever. I'll make sure that he does, even if I have to give my life. I'll be with him for eternity. I know this is weird, me being a mere puppet, a guy, and much older than him. But why does it matter? We're in love and that's all that matters.
We can't have this being a huge deal, considering the fact that we're both S-class criminals. Just a small organization thing, if that: all of the Akatsuki, I guess, are welcome. I don't care if any of them have come, just as long as I have my Dei-chan, I'll be happy. Deidara is the name of my fiancee, by the way. I just want everything to be perfect. I guess I'm getting a little nervous. I don't know how everything's going to end up. All I know is that I don't want anything ever to happen to my Deidara again. After the first two things, the attack of the other Iwagakure shinobi. I just don't know how this is all going to happen. All I know is that I completely love Deidara and that's all you need to know as well.
Tonight, instead of staying in my crowded little room, we stay in his, which is somehow larger than mine. He lets me stroke his hair as I watch him lay there, half sleeping. I don't know if he's staying up to see me, or if I'm keeping him up. I lean down and plant a soft kiss on his forehead and get a warm smile in return. He's got his hair down, a bit damp from his recent shower. He turns to his back and gently pats his chest, which is I suppose a signal for me to rest on him. I hesitate, considering his recent wound. However, it may be healed up.
"Are you still injured, Dei-chan?" I murmur softly, my voice cracking a bit. I watch intently for any signs of a nod, but he shakes his head in denial. "Perhaps I should rest. I do feel a bit tired." I manage to say, resting my head on his chest, hearing his rhythmic heartbeat and the rise and fall of his breathing. I felt as if I were heavy, so I lift my head up slightly, and see him smiling, sound asleep, murmuring my name in a voice barely audible. I smile warmly and close my eyes, letting sleep overtake me as well.
Deidara's P.O.V.
In the morning my eyes flicker awake with the bright sunlight, I feel a weight atop my chest and then remember letting Sasori-no-Danna cuddling up to me last night. I yawn, trying to keep completely still in order to let him sleep more. God only knows how much sleep he gets. But then, I feel a tickle in my nose, and can't hold back a sneeze; this sudden jolt wakes up my Danna and he sits up then groggily rubs his eyes.
"G-good morning, Danna, un." I say, my voice still thick with sleep.
He yawns and nods, smoothing down his hair a bit. "Morning, Dei-chan." He says, his smile so sweet that I swear my heart will explode. I examine his perfect features, smiling warmly, but then I notice that he's frowning slightly so I wrap my arms around him.
"Something wrong, Danna?" I murmur, a hint of worry could be caught in my voice. He responded with shaking his head no, I sigh contently and stand up, grabbing my hair-tie, pulling my hair up into the usual ponytail. It's gotten rather long, perhaps I should see into getting it cut. "All right.." I murmur, hastily pulling on a pair of pants, then my t-shirt, and finally my cloak. Carefully smoothing down my bangs, I watch him watching me.
"Are you sure you're alright? You seem.. I don't know, kind of far away this morning. Is something bothering you? Did I do something wrong, because if I-" He cut me off.
"Deidara.. Calm down, you haven't done anything wrong. I promise." He flashes me a warm smile.
Sasori's P.O.V.
I stand up and hug Deidara's dressed figure, taking in his scent with a smile. I then realize that I'm in the same exact clothes as yesterday. I really should go change, however on my way to the door, Deidara grabs my wrist.
"Do you want to do anything today, Danna? Or are you busy? I mean, I don't mind just staying here. Or we could go somewhere whatever you want to." He speaks in a hurried tone. I quirk my eyebrow in amusement, grinning slightly, which causes him to tilt his head.
"Dei-chan, I'll do whatever you would like me to do. However, I must work on my mission body... And my Sandaime puppet..." I let my voice trail off. Today was the anniversary of which I was an official member of Akatsuki. The day I killed my sensei, Satetsu; he's my Sandaime puppet. I glanced at Deidara, who was biting the inside of his lip, examining me. I just shot him a smile, trying to forget, but I couldn't. I couldn't forget Satetsu. But now I had Deidara, so I shouldn't be thinking of him. Such a shame to find the one that you love, when you still love someone else who is deceased. I stretched and gave him a hug. "Deidara."
"Yes? What is it?" He snapped out of his thoughts to answer me, his blond hair slightly tangled looking, but he still looked fine to me, he always did. He was a beautiful man, a bit femenine in some ways, I can't help but notice that whenever he looks concerned or when he smiles, just about all the time. His voice just breaks the tie of being feminine. But, I believe that he is perfect the way that he is. And I completely love him.
"What do you want to do today?" I ask him, quirking and eyebrow and taking hold of his hand, his hands soft in mine, I kiss his cheek and smile warmly.
"Well, I don't really care what we do. Just whatever you want to do." He said, smiling warmly. "I could watch you make your repairs, we could go for a walk, or we could just.... Y'know. Cuddle or something." I could tell he didn't really want to refer to it as cuddle by the way that he said it. Or perhaps he was leading onto more than I realized.
"Don't you want to eat something? I mean, you usually eat in the morning or something right? Dammit, Hidan and Kakuzu return today from their mission. And Itachi's going to be a bitch about our relationship.. I don't know if we should tell anyone else. But then Tobi will probably blab the news to everyone. Deidara can you do something for me?"
"Yes, of course." He pauses, anticipating what I'm going to say.
"Go tell Tobi not to tell anyone about us, all right?" I ask, giving him a tight hug. He nods and kisses my neck, I feel myself shiver slightly and he smirks, hurrying out the door. I leave his room shortly after, heading to my room. I lay out my Sandaime puppet, caressing his face. His black locks tangled up as I run my fingers through the hair.
"Satetsu-sensei... I've found the one that I love the most. You've got to just... Let me go.. I won't let him do to me what Orochimaru did. I promise. I will do as you asked of me. I'll always love you, but I love Deidara too." I wrap my arms around the puppet, then lift up, feeling the arm, bending it up to touch my face. I remember...
"Sasori, I love you," he said, holding me close to his chest so I could hear his heart beating. I smiled, nodding my head and taking in his scent.
"I love you too, Sandaime-sensei..." I murmur softly
"Sasori, call me 'Satetsu-sensei' now. If you call me by name. Or you could just call me 'Sensei' if you would like," He ran his fingers through my hair, caressing my face and then kissing my forehead.
"Hai.." I murmured softly, then fell asleep in his arms, after our time of intimacy, we often held each other and I fell asleep in his arms often. People may find it odd, considering I was, what, twelve at the time, but I find it fine.
I hear footsteps outside my door and quickly pull away from the puppet, pretending I'm working out a knot in the elbow or something. The door opens up and Deidara steps in with a cup of tea in his hands, I can smell it from where I knelt.
"Sasori. I've had this question for a long time, but felt that you'd think that I was stupid if I asked.. But why did you turn yourself into a puppet?" he asked, gazing down at me, carefully sipping some of the hot tea.
I hesitated, thinking. "I thought that it would be best for the battle field... I thought with it that I would be invincible and emotionless. So then i could be the best Shinobi I could be and the distractions couldn't get in my way... I guess."
Deidara set his cup of tea down on my work bench, careful not to spill it, then moved his way towards me, sitting beside me and wrapping his arms around my waist. My eyes widened as he tightened his hold, I patted his head, smiling down at him. "That's really how you felt?"
"Yes, before I met you, Dei-chan." I leaned down and kissed the top of his head, smiling warmly. I just felt bad for loving him, but still holding Satetsu close to me as well. "Because before I officially joined the Akatsuki, I had a relationship that got in the way of me being the best that I could be. But. That was in the past, now I have you. And we're betrothed.. I'll protect you forever." I said, placing a hand to his cheek.
He nodded, closing his eyes and I slid down to sit beside him, letting him lean against me so that he could rest, because to tell the truth, he wasn't supposed to be out of bed. "Mm.. May I ask who that person was?" He gazed up at me, I didn't want to tell him, but he looked like he wanted to know.
"His name was Satetsu. He was the Sandaime of Sunagakure.. I was twelve when we first fell in love.. And he gave me his body after I turned mine to a puppet. His body to use as a puppet. And, to tell the truth. It's just a long story. Too long to tell."
"Oh.." And that was all he said. "Sasori-san. I'm going to go for a walk."
"I'll go with you, Deidara."
"Nono, you don't have to. I'll just.. Go by myself you can work on your puppets."
"Deidara, I want to go with you. I don't want you to go by yourself, something might happen to you and then I'd never forgive myself." I said, pleading and begging almost.
"If you want to.. We need to talk, Sasori." he said.
DEIDARA'S P.O.V.
I'm on a walk with my Danna, I need to discuss something with him. He did say that he loved his Sandaime puppet. Can it be that he would love it more than me? He seems nervous on our walk, he changed into his battle body, in the case of anything happening. I let out a sigh, keeping my gaze lowered at the ground. It's another rainy day, but whatever it always rains here, no?
"Sasori... You know that I just want you to be happy, correct?" I ask softly
"Yes I know this. And I am, why?"
"Am I making you happy..?" I glance up at him, frowning, starting to feel cold from the rain.
"Yes you are. You're making me very happy and I'm very pleased to have you with me..."
"Oh."
"Now, you wanted to speak with me about something?" he asked.
"Yes, Sasori." I heave a sigh and draw in a breath uncomfortably. "Do you still love your Sandaime?"
He was silent, gazing at me. "I love him like a-"
"Sasori. Do you want to be with him?" I ask, tears threatening to fall. "All I want is to you to be with the one that you truly love." My voice cracks before I burst into tears, turning away from him, holding back sobs. My chest tightens up drastically as I break out into sobs. "You don't have to *sob* say with me if you don't want to, Sasori*sobsob*!" I shouted, storming off, into the muddy road, not looking back, but I didn't hear his footsteps come after me.
SASORI'S P.O.V.
Deidara just left me, crying. I didn't know if I should chase after him or just sit down, I just stood there and let him walk away. He was gone now... It had been an hour and he hadn't returned. My eyes widened at the thought of something happening. No time to go back to the base. I just ran, the bottom of my cloak getting soaked and drenched with muddy water. I run for a long time, the whiteout affect taking over me, then I'm just running, my legs carrying me wherever they wish. Eventually the white-out affect had ceased, stopping me in front of a Deidara lying on the ground. My eyes widen as I drop to my knees beside him, taking him up into my arms, feeling as though tears would fall if they could... But... Crying was for humans, was it not?
"Kusou, Deidara! Wake up! Kousougane! Just wake up if that's all you do. That's all I need you to do!" I said, placing the back of my hand to his cheek. Warmth. Very much warmth. His face was very hot. Did he have a fever?" I let out a contented sigh, picking him up bridal style, and then putting him on my back, piggyback style whilst holding his legs. I began to run quickly, the whiteout affect soon taking over until I ran into the base.
"Konan, Kisame, Tobi..." I called out; however, nobody answered me. I hurried to Deidara's room, quickly pulling him out of his wet clothes, examining his body with lust. No! I thought, shaking my head clear of those thoughts as I got a towel and dried him off, pulling new clothes on him. I took off his forehead protector, getting a cold wash cloth to place over his forehead. "Just, get better..." I kissed his cheek, resting my head on his stomach, closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.
DEIDARA'S P.O.V.
I awake in my bed, warm and dry, a cold cloth on my forehead. A weight was on my stomach, shifted up to my chest, I looked and saw Sasori's red hair. This wasn't the first time he'd fallen asleep on me like this, but it was okay with me. I yawned, then coughed, closing my eye and resting my head back down on the pillow.
"Deidara..?" He asks softly, raising up, onto his knees and placing his hand to my cheek. "I love you more than anyone else could ever love you and more than I have loved anyone in my life... Hell, Deidara," he paused for a long time.
I open my eye and gaze at him, "Yes?"
"Deidara.. I just.."
"What is it, Sasori?"
"I just need you. I completely love you. Deidara.. Why have you stopped calling me by 'Danna' and reverted to calling me by name?" He asks softly.
"Because, I.. I thought you didn't love me anymore." I sit up, tears threatening to fall whilst my chest tightens up again.
"Deidara... I do love you... If I didn't have you, I'd die... Because, you're my life..."
