The little cat let loose an adorable mew. "You bought a cat?!" Sakura was incredulously gaping at him. "Isn't he so cute, yeah?" Deidara gave a rather fond look to the kitten. She let out a long suffering sigh.
"Yes, I suppose it is, isn't it? What should we name him?" She looked far away, wrapped up in her own world. Her brows crinkled together in deep thought. The small kitten padded over silently and rubbed himself all over her, getting cream colored furs on her dark shirt and pants. Deidara swore the kitten gave him a look that said, 'she's mine.' He was taken aback at how possessive something the size of a baseball could be.
He shot the kitten a glare, and he could swear that the kitten was giving him a smug look from on her lap. The fur ball was purring like a motor. Deidara was instantly jealous of the cat's position. He was jealous. Of a cat. How pathetic, even Sasori would laugh at him, and that was really weird. He immediately looked away with a pout as Sakura absently stroked the cat's fur.
Sometimes she was so lost in the clouds, not paying attention to the things around her. The kitten's big golden eyes were half lidded at the pets he was receiving. He started kneading his paws in to her thigh. Even Deidara hadn't gotten that far with her. That cat was getting farther than her own boyfriend did.
'This isn't fair!' He screamed internally. " I shouldn't have gotten him, now I'm having competition with a cat for her affections!' She seemed to be coming back down to earth.
"How about Winslow?" She suggested. "Sure, whatever you want, yeah. I don't care."
"Babe, why are you so down, you seemed so happy to have brought the kitten home."
"Yeah, well things change." Turning away with a huff, he crossed his arms in a grumpy manner.
"Are you... Jealous of our kitten?"
"No, yeah."
"So yes?"
"No!"
She let loose a little giggle at her boyfriend's behavior. "It's not funny yeah." He slouched down even more at the teasing tone in her voice. He was insecure, because they had vowed not to go all the way until they were married, and was staring to feel like she didn't want him.
"Is this about our promise? Because I still love you Dei, that's not gonna change." She gave a tender smile, even though he couldn't see it, as he was facing away from her.
Sakura cooed at his demeanor, trying to cheer him up. The kitten was circling around her ankles, searching for attention, but she was focused only on Deidara. "Don't feel bad, I just... Feel nervous about that kind of stuff, you know?"
"Yeah... I know and I'm sorry. Sometimes I just get paranoid." She knew it was taking a lot out of him to come out and confess his feelings. He always tried to hide his feelings, because it wasn't 'manly' to express sad emotions.
Her arms wrapped around him from his back. The kitten gave a whiny mew from being displaced from his spot on her lap.
Tippy toed, she told him,"No kitten comes before you, I chose to be with you."
"You're my favorite."
