Thankies! On with the chap!

Chapter 4: Falling, in More Ways Than One

Sasori walked through his old mansion the next day. Well, technically, it was RAITO'S mansion now. Sasori scowled at the thought, but focused on his task at hand; Finding Deidara. He had been lectured by Raito the day before. He also had smashed Raito's head through the wall before storming out due to Raito's stupidity. Afterwards, he had gone to Deidara's room (which happened to be his old room. Ironic that the blonde had chosen this room).

~flashback~

The blonde had locked himself in, not wanting to talk to anyone at all. And Luke was in front of the door, trying to get the boy out…and failing epically. Sasori chuckled as Deidara opened the door just enough to chuck a shoe at his brother, hitting him square in the jaw, before slamming the door once more.

Rock music suddenly started blasting in the room.

If you take a life, do you know what you give? I doubt you will like what it is. When the storm arrives would you be seen with me by the merciless eyes I've deceived?

Sasori stopped in front of the door. He had to get Deidara to talk to him. Unfortunately, the blonde was being emo.

I've seen angels fall from blinding heights, but you yourself are nothing so divine, just next in line.

Sasori tried knocking. "GO AWAY LUKE!" came the annoyed reply.

Arm yourself because no one else here will save you. The odds will betray you, and I will replace you. You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you. It longs to kill you, are you ready to die? The coldest blood runs through my veins, you know my name.

Well, that failed. "It's not Luke." "I don't even wanna HEAR you right now Sasori un. Get the fuck away from my room un!" Another fail. Ugh, why did that stupid need have to arise around the blonde? It was going to be difficult to get him to like him now.

If you come inside things will not be the same when you return to the light. If you think you've won you never saw me change the game that we have been playing.

Sasori knocked again. "Come on. Open the door. I'm sorry for what happened." The door opened and Sasori caught the shoe with ease. As Deidara went to slam the door, Sasori stopped it with his foot, and slipped inside.

I've seen diamonds cut through harder men. And you yourself but if you must pretend you may meet you end.

Deidara scowled at Sasori and kicked him in the stomach. The redhead caught his foot and the blonde tried to punch him in the face, only to have Sasori catch it and pull him closer.

Arm yourself because no one else here will save you, the odds will betray you, and I will replace you. Can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you. It longs to kill you, are you willing to die. The coldest blood runs through my veins.

Deidara glared at Sasori, trying to pull away. Sasori smirked, "Calm down. I'm here to apologize." Deidara just continued to glare.

Try to hide your hand, forget how to feel. Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel.

"I really am sorry Deidara. I didn't mean to snap on you." Said Sasori with, his eyes looking sincere. Deidara looked at him for a minute.

Arm yourself because no one else here will save you. The odds will betray you, and I will replace you. Can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you. It longs to kill you. The coldest blood runs through my veins, you know my name~.

The annoyance in Deidara's eyes faded. "Whatever un." He said as he pulled away from Sasori. Sasori sighed. "Maybe I should come back when you've cooled off." He said….

~end of flashback~

Sasori sighed. Deidara wasn't in the room. Or kitchen. Or the mansion for that matter. He concentrated and found the scent of Deidara's blood. "Good thing I've already bitten the brat." He muttered to himself. Why was it so hard to get Raito's grandson to like him? Raito had been so easy to manipulate…

Deidara was nothing like his grandfather. He was tougher, more intelligent. More interesting…Sasori found himself at a beach in Puerto Rico. Deidara's friends were sitting at a small food stand eating? Sasori walked up to them. "Where's Deidara?" he asked.

They all looked at him with grim eyes. "We don't know what you did," said Kisame, "but Dei doesn't wanna look at you." Sasori sighed. So the blonde was still mad? "That didn't answer my question." He said. "The blonde's at that beach over there." said Hidan. Sasori nodded and went to look for him.

He spotted the blonde standing up to his knees in the water. He was looking up at the sky, not caring that his jeans were soaked. Sasori say the boy's sneakers at the edge of the water, along with his socks. Sasori left his shoes and socks next to Deidara's and went over to the blonde, glad that he had decided to wear shorts.

"What the hell do YOU want?" asked Deidara as he stared up at the endless blue. Sasori looked at the blonde, stopping right next t him. Deidara's sapphire eyes had a lazy look in them as he stared. "To see if you'd cooled off." He said to him. Deidara lowered his gaze to meet Sasori's. Sasori noticed the difference immediately. Deidara's eyes still held a mischievous glint, even though he was annoyed. Raito was never like that.

"Why do you care?" asked the blonde. Sasori touched his face, making Deidara jerk back. "DON'T START!" he yelled. Sasori chuckled, "I'm not going to rape you. Last night…sorry, it wasn't supposed to happen." Sasori looked into the blonde's eyes. Something about them…attracted him…they reminded him of someone. Not Raito. No, Raito's were never so….hypnotizing. "Fine…one condition un." "Go ahead." Before Sasori could react, Deidara kicked his feet out from under him and he fell into the warm ocean water.

When Sasori resurfaced, highly annoyed at the fact that he was now soaking wet, Deidara was laughing. "The hell was that for?" Sasori growled. "I needed some sort of payback for yesterday." Was the response he gave the redhead. Sasori glared at him and connected chakra strings to his feet, yanking on them and making the blonde fall into the water as well. Deidara resurfaced with a laugh, "So the scary Akasuna has a playful side too?" Sasori scowled, then smirked, "Indeed I do Katsu." He said as he tackled the blonde into the water…

~Later~

"What the hell happened to YOU?" Asked Hidan with a smirk. "Deidara flipped him off and continued walking. "Tomorrow is your birthday." Said Itachi as he came walking over to him. "No shit weasel un." Was the reply. Sasori snickered at that. Itachi sighed at his friend's comeback. At least he wasn't pissed anymore. "So, when are you going into the room?" he asked. Deidara stopped walking and looked up at the sun in the sky, "Hmm…..three pm un." He said. "Why? Why that specific time?" asked Kisame.

Deidara turned to them, "That's the time Gramps will be giving a speech about Luke." He said. "Oh right! Luke's birthday is tomorrow 2! How ironic that you were born an exact year apart!" came Tobi. "That's when Gramps will be the most distracted, and I can sneak away without problems un." They nodded in agreement.

"Luke is Raito's favorite?" asked Sasori. "Yeah, but I don't mind un. I was the parent favorite. Luke hated me for it un." Replied the blonde with a smirk. Sasori saw it again, that mischievous spark. He had seen it somewhere before…but where?

He decided to tease the blonde again since he was bored.

He used his vampire speed to appear in front of the blonde. "What?" he asked. Sasori smirked, his face close to Deidara's. "Must you be so…emo?" he asked. "I am NOT EMO! That's Itachi's job un." The weasel, who was drinking a piña colada, nearly choked on it making the others laugh. "Ok then, how's about this. Since you pull away every time I try to kiss you, kiss me once. A REAL kiss. If you don't enjoy, you win the bet. But if you do, the bet's still on and I get a date with you."

The thought had come to Sasori the night before. He needed a way to get to know Deidara. Unfortunately, the blonde was being so paranoid. Then he had an epiphany, let's see if the blonde would enjoy it. And the rest was simple enough to plan. "And if I refuse?" "Then, I assume you're afraid to kiss me. You are afraid that you'll fall for me and lose the bet." Deidara narrowed his eyes at him. Sasori knew it. The opposite of Raito, someone that hates to be called a chicken.

"Fine then un." Bull's-eye. "No pulling back. And it has to be more than a minute." Sasori explained. Deidara rolled his eyes, "All right, all right, let's get it over with un." Sasori smirked and grabbed the blonde, kissing him. He pulled the boy close, licking his bottom lip, asking for permission. Hesitantly, Deidara opened his mouth, allowing Sasori to deepen the kiss. Deidara, lost in the kiss, buried his fingers in Sasori's blood red locks as their tongues dueled for dominance.

Soon they had to part for air.

"Well?" asked the redhead, perfectly aware of the four that were also waiting for Deidara's reply. Deidara blushed and averted his gaze, glaring at a tree. "Fine, you get a damn date…." Sasori smirked triumphantly. Hidan and Kisame burst into laughter. "KEEP LAUGHING AND I'LL RIP YOUR TONGUES OUT UN!" the two shut up but smirked. Deidara's eyes dilated and the two were thrown into a nearby palm tree. Coconuts fell on both of their heads. Sasori, Itachi, and Tobi laughed at the site. Deidara turned and stormed off…

(A/n) Ok, done! Isn't Sasori such a smart-ass?

Dei: UN!

Saso: But you know you love me brat.

Dei: Never said I didn't un.

Saso: Heh.

R&R! Flames to be used to set fire to Hidan!XD
