Until Dawn

Chapter 3

"Iwasaki-san!" Deidara turned around in his seat in the classroom and saw three of the girls in his class looking intently at him.

"What?"

"Is it true that Uchiha Itachi in 3B is tutoring you?"

He felt amazed that the news about his tutor had already spread. He had barely met the guy and set a date for their first session and people already knew about it.

"Um… Yeah un?"

Nothing ever had prepared him for the high pitched squeal the girls emitted the following moment. It left him with a ringing in his ears, which he hoped was not permanent. The girls however seemed not to have noticed how they almost deafened him.

"Oh. My. Gosh! You're like, sooo lucky!" Fujioka exclaimed waving her hands around like a maniac.

"I am?"

"What kind of silly question is that? Of course you are! This is Uchiha Itachi we're talking about, hellooo!" The tallest of the girls, Honda, stared at him with a look of utter bewilderment.

"Yeah, so un? What's so great about that guy?"

Nakamura, a girl with obviously bleached brown hair, gasped in a very dramatic way, hand on her chest, expressing her shock over his lack of knowledge.

"Did you hear her, Etsuko? Did you hear what she just said?!" she called completely horrified.

"I know, Asuka! She must at least be blind!"

"It's so unfair, that someone who doesn't even know who he is and how wonderful he is gets to be tutored by him! So unfaaair!" Fujioka whined.

"There, there, Megumi. Don't be upset just because of her." Honda put an arm around her friend and gave him a nasty glare.

Oh, wonderful, Deidara thought. He had just been jumped by the guy's fan club. If there was something worse than high school girls, it was fangirly high school girls.

"For your information, Uchiha Itachi is the most popular guy in the entire school."

"Aaand, he's an Uchiha!" Nakamura added as though that explained everything.

"So?"

"Don't tell me you haven't even heard of the Uchiha family? Have you've been living under a rock or what?"

Deidara simply raised one eyebrow. "Apparently." He snorted. "Just get to the damn point already, un."

"The Uchiha family is like rich and extremely respected and his father happens to be the chief of police."

"And if those eyes of yours are working at all, you must have seen that he's absolutely gorgeous!"

At that moment Hidan came bursting into the room and to his rescue.

"Hey, scarecrows! Move out of the fucking way!" He said roughly pushing past them on the way to his seat. The girls glared at him and walked away, clearly offended. Deidara however gave a sigh of relief.

"Oi blondie! What the fuck did you do to get the idiot squad to fucking attack you?"

"I've gotten some… Uchiha guy as my math tutor and apparently I "don't deserve him" or something…" he muttered and laid his head down on the desk with a sigh. Hidan laughed though.

"Man, talk about bad luck! Every fucking girl in school goes all fangirly over that bastard. And what makes it even fucking funnier, is that he doesn't want anyone them. But I can fucking understand the bastard, I'd go gay for less."

Deidara raised his head and gave him a weird look.

"Hey, don't get the wrong idea, I'm no fag!"

"Sure, Hidan, sure. If you say so, un." Deidara said smirking.

"I'm not fucking gay!"

Today she wore a frown on her pretty face. She sat at her desk, her head supported in her palm, staring out into space. He probably should have told her to listen, but he did not. Now class had ended and he watched her pack up her things and then moments later be dragged out of the class room by that loud punk.

He could not help watching her. Every since he first saw her, she had fascinated him. It was not because she was beautiful, even though she obviously was. He had this feeling that she was so different from the other students. That even though she would smile, she wasn't really happy. There was something, something special, in her eyes. Something that told him that she knew of life, how cruel it could be.

Sasori sighed. He could not understand why he even cared. What he should care about was preparing for the next class, then after that he would be done with those damned brats for the day.

-

The date for the first tutoring session had come around a lot sooner than Deidara wanted, but then again, things never went the way he wanted them to anymore. Ever since that day, everything had gone downhill. So now here he was, standing with Itachi outside his apartment, while he dug through his bag for the keys.

"Are you sure it's okay for me to be here?" Itachi asked, ever so polite.

"I'm the only one living here and I have nothing against it, so chill."

Okay, he was aware that a good girl wouldn't invite a boy in when she was alone, especially a boy who she had just met, and that Itachi probably thought that that was weird, but frankly, he didn't care. What he did care about however was that Itachi would believe that he was indeed a girl. So he had cleaned the day before and made sure there weren't any… 'Unfeminine things' lying around.

"It's really a pity that the library's closed..." Itachi said, seemingly feeling a need to keep a conversation going, not feeling comfortable with the situation.

"Yeah… Un… " He finally found the keys, hidden in a corner of his bag, underneath some crumpled papers. He fished them out and hurriedly unlooked the door before ushering the other one in.

"Sorry for disturbing." Itachi said, stepping in and taking off his shoes and putting them neatly against the wall. Deidara just kicked his off and continued into the living room, motioning to Itachi to follow him.

"You can sit on the couch." Deidara said walking towards the kitchen, waving his hand in the general direction of the sofa. "You want something to drink, un?"

"Some water would be nice."

"Really? I've got juice if you want?" he said, turning around to look at the other boy, but all he got as an answer was a shake of his head. Deidara just shrugged and went to get the drinks, before he plopped down on the couch next to Itachi.

"So, let's get started, un?"

Two hours later Deidara was none the wiser. Itachi had been very patient with him and explained in several different ways to make him understand, but to no avail. Perhaps it was because he felt so nervous. And well, it certainly did not help that he several times when looking up from his papers found Itachi looking at him intently.

"Okay… But if we try it like this, Iwasaki-san." Itachi said, scribbling down some equation. "If we start by…"

"Stop calling me that, it sounds so weird. So damn uptight, un." he interrupted, the last part not more than a mutter. "Call me Deidara instead."

What he did not expect was Itachi leaning forward and gripping his chin and bringing his mouth to his. He was so shocked that he didn't know what to do, so for a moment he just sat there. Then he snapped out of it and pulled his head back, staring wide-eyed at Itachi. The other looked back at him, the corners of his mouth turning up into a smirk.

"If you say so, Deidara-kun."
