A Fleeting Moment

Rated PG-13 for yaoi and pupaphilia

Disclaimer: The closest I come to owning Naruto is by having lots of merchandise. In other words, not at all.

Author's Note: My first set of SasoDei sentences were so fun that I immediately reclaimed it to do another set. I'm thinking of doing all five sets. Same things as last time: None of these are related, spoilers to chapter 317, different genres and points in time… All in all, just another set of fifty mini drabbles. Hope I'm doing them justice!

1sentence challenge: theme set Delta

Flames do nothing but make me laugh, although I'll listen to any CC you have. Please read, review, and enjoy! Finished 08-01-06


01. Air

The first time Deidara got Sasori to take a ride with him, he was rather amused to see that Sasori was prone to air sickness.

02. Apples

Sasori had never like apples, even when he'd needed to eat on a regular basis, but he had no problems licking off the excess juice from Deidara's chin.

03. Beginning

In the beginning, Sasori hadn't wanted Deidara as his new partner, but he'd quickly changed his mind; now Deidara didn't want Tobi as his new partner, but he knew he'd never change his mind.

04. Bugs

"Working the bugs out of your relationship" took on a whole new meaning the first time Deidara found a termite in Sasori's leg.

05. Coffee

Coffee had the same effect on Deidara as sugar did, and Sasori made sure only to let him have it when they were all alone.

06. Dark

In the dark of the night, they could hold each other and forget about the rest of the world for a while.

07. Despair

Deidara had never felt such a feeling of pure and utter despair than when he first laid eyes on the pile of broken wood that was once his danna.

08. Doors

Everyone in Akatsuki knew better than not to knock on Deidara or Sasori's doors, especially after that one time Kisame almost bled to death from a killer nosebleed.

09. Drink

"Want a drink Sasori-danna, un?" probably wouldn't have seemed so perverted if Deidara hadn't been naked when he asked it.

10. Duty

They'd kill each other if duty called, but that didn't mean they'd ever forgive themselves for it.

11. Earth

Deidara might have preferred flying through the sky, but he had to appreciate the earth beneath his bare back the night he and Sasori couldn't wait until they reached an inn.

12. End

Deidara always managed to provide the perfect end to Sasori's days, one way or another.

13. Fall

Deidara wasn't afraid of falling as he soared in the sky, because he knew that Sasori would always catch him.

14. Fire

The look of passion in Deidara's eyes strongly reminded Sasori of a raging fire, burning bright and promising sweet destruction.

15. Flexible

It was only natural that Sasori's limbs were made to be flexible, but Deidara could certainly give him a run for his money in bed.

16. Flying

His clay birds were fine and all, but it was when he was one with Sasori that Deidara really felt like he was flying.

17. Food

Deidara's favorite food wasn't full of sugar or caffeine; rather, he liked anything he could eat in a provocative way to make his danna want to jump him.

18. Foot

"Puppet or not, your feet are still cold Sasori-danna, un!"

19. Grave

Deidara stood alone before the makeshift grave, silently promising his deceased lover that his death wouldn't be in vain.

20. Green

The one time Deidara had gotten Sasori to fly with him, he was sure that the puppet master's face would have been tinged green if it had been possible.

21. Head

"Heads, I choose where we eat; tails, you choose un"—Sasori was sure that Deidara had a two-headed coin.

22. Hollow

When Sasori's hollow chest cavity opened up and that thick cable slowly uncoiled, Deidara tensed in anticipation.

23. Honor

Sasori had once made a promise to protect his young partner, and his honor wouldn't allow him to forget it.

24. Hope

"Sasori-danna, I hope they have one of those vibrating beds, un!"

25. Light

Deidara stuck his tongue out at the light flooding into the room before pressing his face in Sasori's chest and going back to sleep.

26. Lost

The day Sasori lost his life was the day Deidara lost that sparkle in his eye.

27. Metal

Deidara willed himself to relax as a thick metal cable slowly entered him.

28. New

Deidara watched with morbid fascination as Sasori worked on his newest puppet and idly wondered if his danna would do the same to him if he died.

29. Old

Deidara didn't dare to ask how old Sasori was, mostly because then he could pretend that he was practically robbing the cradle instead of the other way around.

30. Peace

Deidara hoped that his danna was resting in peace, but unfortunately, he doubted it.

31. Poison

He knew it was dangerous, but the sweet poison of Sasori's lips always left him craving more.

32. Pretty

Neither would say it—they were in Akatsuki after all—but they both secretly thought that the other was pretty.

33. Rain

Sasori chastised his partner for doing something as childish as dancing in the rain, but a small part of him secretly wanted to join in.

34. Regret

Deidara's biggest regret was that he'd never gotten to tell his danna goodbye.

35. Roses

Sasori wasn't the type to show his affection though frivolous things like roses, but Deidara preferred being tied up and dominated anyways, so it all worked out in the end.

36. Secret

They didn't even bother to keep their not-quite-platonic relationship a secret, because everyone knew better than to taunt them for it anyhow.

37. Snakes

Whenever Sasori saw snakes, he thought of his old partner and immediately was thankful that he had Deidara now.

38. Snow

While on a mission in the Land of Snow, Deidara had tried to throw a snowball at his danna, only to have Sasori actually laugh at him when it got stuck to one of his hands' tongue.

39. Solid

Once, Deidara had been so caught up in a fantasy involving Sasori, a feather duster, and a bottle of caramel sauce that he walked straight into a solid wall; Sasori was just glad that they were at the hideout and not out on a mission.

40. Spring

Itachi noticed that there was always a slight spring in Deidara's step—rather than a limp—after Sasori screwed him; Kisame didn't want to know how he knew this.

41. Stable

Deidara, though rather unstable himself, was the one stable thing in Sasori's hectic life.

42. Strange

Sometimes it was strange to see Sasori rip out someone's spine and then sleep with him hours later, but Deidara managed.

43. Summer

The summer breeze gently ruffled blond hair, and Sasori didn't ever bother to resist running his fingers through it.

44. Taboo

They were both male, Sasori was a puppet, and Deidara was considerably younger than his danna—it was a good thing they liked breaking taboos.

45. Ugly

Deidara didn't know why someone as beautiful as Sasori chose to travel in something as ugly as Hiruko, but he knew better than to question his danna about that.

46. War

There was a war going on, one that had taken his danna away from him, and Deidara counted down the days until it claimed his life too.

47. Water

Sasori rolled his eyes as Deidara splashed in the water like a child, but a ghost of a smile hovered on his lips.

48. Welcome

Deidara's visible eye lit up as Sasori walked in their room after a rare solo mission, and he managed to whisper "Welcome back" in between the kisses he was now receiving.

49. Winter

Deidara might have hated the bitter cold of winter, but just being near Sasori tended to make him feel warmer.

50. Wood

Normal people didn't like having wood and metal shoved inside their bodies, but Deidara had stopped pretending to be normal a long time ago.
