My first opinion about him being sex on legs was definitely on the money...- Leif Hitsugaya

It had been one week since Deidara arrived and became my new roommate and in that time I had learned a few things about him.

The first thing I learned was that he liked loud things. He was constantly cranking up his stereo but I didn't really mind it was better than the utter silence I was used to.

He liked art; actually I learned that he likes sculpture. And explosions. Really loud explosions. He said that to him they were art, a fleeting moment that brings out life. Then he asked me what my opinion on art was.

"Do you think it's fleeting or eternal, un?" he said from across the breakfast table four days after he had moved in.

I looked up at him and blinked, I was still impressed to have eggs and other forms of real food in my fridge to really comprehend what he was saying. He repeated his question while laughing at the look on my face.

"Art is neither eternal nor fleeting. It's both." He gave me a look that said he thought I was crazy so I elaborated.

"It can be that sunset you see once in a lifetime that is forever burned into your memory, or it can be the greatest work of art anyone has ever made put on display for the rest of time."

He laughed at me again, "I didn't figure you to be so deep, un."

"Um, are you Deidara-kun's roommate?"

I looked up from my painting to see a very pretty brunette with baby blue eyes and nodded. She was better looking then me that's for sure. Compared to my shoulder length black hair and grey eyes she was a goddess.

Don't get me wrong though, I don't swing that way, I'm just very negative and a painter. I turned back to my painting finally realizing what the noises I heard last night were. Just another thing to add to my list of things I've learned about my roommate.

"Did you paint all of these?"

"Yep."

"They're beautiful." She said looking from the one I was painting to the various completed ones around the room. I finished the detail to the feathers of the phoenix painting I was doing and put my brush in the jar of water next to me.

"Sorry, I didn't catch your name."

"Oh, um, I'm Miaka."

"Leif."

An uncomfortable silence fell between the two of us as we stared at each other. Luckily Deidara choose that moment to drag himself out of bed and find his girlfriend.

"What's up, un?"

"I was just talking to your roommate." Deidara nodded and wrapped his arms around Miaka who blushed at the contact. I smiled at the couple and turned my attention toward the clock.

9:45 AM I read with horror.

"I'm late!" They would kill me if I was late.

I quickly ran around the apartment gathering the things I would need including the paintings I had finished. Slinging the bag over my shoulder I slipped my sneakers on and ran out the door without another word.

It's a fifteen minute walk to the coffee shop I was going to, but I'm lucky enough to know the back ways, so really it only takes me a little less then ten minutes to run there.

Opening the door I greeted by the smell of roasted coffee beans and a bone crushing hug.

"You're late!" My attacker declared lifting me off the ground with ease. They carried me over to where I presumed the others waiting for me were and gently set me on the ground.

"Hello Leif."

I looked at the woman sitting at the table and gave her a smile as my captor sat next to her. The one who had grabbed me was Kitahn Yorochi, tan colored hair with gold-green eyes, she was one of those women men liked to describe as a goddess. Even if she did scare most of them off by standing at an even five foot eleven inches.

Next to her was Saiya Hayamia. She was a med student at the local university, though she hardly looked it with her blue hair and amethyst colored eyes. Saiya calmly took a sip of the coffee she had in her hands before directing her gaze over to the paintings I had set down next to me.

"Are you sure you want to sell so many of your paintings?"

"Yeah, I have to have some way to pay the rent even if it's now split in half because of my roommate."

Kitahn gagged on the coffee she had been sipping and I swear the normally unfazed Saiya's eyes widened just a bit. They stared at me for a breathless moment before I was bombarded with questions left and right.
