Hello lovelies! Urgh. I rewrote this freaking chapter at least 3 times because every time I'd try to write it, I'd either get so tired I'd start writing random shit or I just couldn't get things worded right. It still sucks, but I'm not rewriting it again. I want to progress in this story a little and I can't do that if I continue to rewrite this over and over only to get the same shitty results. So here it is, and I'm sorry if it's weird or rushed or whatever. I have plans and everything will work itself out, so yeah.

Enjoy~

"Do you ever sleep at night like a normal person, un?"

Sasori lazily raised his gaze just barely enough to meet Deidara's, giving a slight shrug as a response before closing his eyes again and evening out his breathing as he slipped back into unconsciousness.

It's been a little over a month since Deidara started Konoha high and one of the many odd things he's noticed about his redheaded roommate was his screwed up sleeping habit. He'd always sleep during class and never seemed to sleep at all during the night. It's as if he were nocturnal or something. He'd always have the most energy in the evening and next to none during the day. He also ate very little at meal times and yet his body would suggest that he had the healthiest of diets. That guy sure is a mystery.

Another thing that's been bothering him is that whenever he's around Sasori he gets this weird feeling, not one he's ever felt before. He can't quite explain it, but it's just weird. He knew for sure it wasn't love or anything like that, and it certainly wasn't one of pure dislike, just weird. It's like there was something off about the redhead but he just couldn't put his finger on it.

He sure was a strange son of a bitch, and mysterious and knew just the right things to say to push his buttons. He'd been spending more and more time with the redhead and his new group of friends, the Akatsuki, and he has to say, he rather likes it all. There were a few times he'd get that same weird feeling he got around Sasori happening around a few of the other members, and it seemed that a few of them had something to hide, Sasori included. But despite that, he still felt as though he could come to trust them, well, most of them anyways.

Deidara was pulled from his thoughts as the bell rang, signaling that first classes were over. Gathering his things together, he stood and shook the sleeping redhead. "Sasori, un. Wake up, class is over." Sasori stirred a littled and grumbled out something incoherent to the blonde who simply rolled his eyes and shoved the redhead out of his chair. "Get up, yeah. I don't want to be late."

Sasori fell to the ground with a rather loud groan, cracking open his tired deep hazel eyes to glare at the blonde. "Stupid brat." He mumbled, getting up and shuffling out of the classroom. He let out a long yawn as they headed to their Science class together.

Deidara stared at his friend as they walked, sighing heavily and shaking his head in confusion as to why the redhead didn't just sleep during the night like a normal person. It'd make things so much easier for him. "Sasori, why don't you just sleep at night like a normal person, un?" He decided to ask again.

The older male gave a throaty grunt in reply before glancing at Deidara from the corner of his eyes and sighing in defeat. "Because I don't sleep at night, brat. I have insomnia."

The blonde blinked at the answer and cocked his head to the side in a cute yet slightly confused manner. "Oh, well can't you just get some sleeping pills or something to help with that, yeah?" He asked, earning another annoyed sigh from the redhead.

"No, because I don't need medication."

"But you can't sleep."

"But I don't need medication for that. It's normal for me."

Deidara snorted and rolled his eyes at the reply. "It's only normal because you've never had a good night's sleep, un." He grinned and poked the older male's cheek playfully. "You should try it some time. You'd be a lot less tired during the day. And maybe then you'd start to eat proper meals, yeah." He added, trailing his finger along Sasori's jawline and down his neck, continuing south before stopping at his toned stomach. The blonde placed his hand gently on the clothed stomach and rubbed his hand in small circles, admiring the muscle under the thin fabric. "Though you're really fit for hardly eating anything, un..." He muttered, looking up at Sasori and meeting his heavily lidded gaze.

Sasori hummed softly and chuckled, shrugging slightly and allowing the blonde to touch him. "I exercise and eat right. You just don't ever see it."

Deidara furrowed his brows for a moment before dropping his hand down to his side once more. "Why not, un?"

"Because you're always sleeping." He answered casually.

The blonde frowned softly and looked down, muttering a small 'oh' before his face twisted into one of utter confusion, his baby blue eyes shining with curiosity. "So is that what you do all night, yeah? Eat and work out? Why not just do that during the day?"

Sasori couldn't help but to chuckle at that. His signature smirk finding a home on his lips. "No, that's not all I do." He shook his head and began walking to class again. "Come on, brat, or we'll be late."

Deidara frowned and quickly caught up to the older male, walking beside him as they made their way down the hallway to class. The blonde abruptly stopped and began to frantically pat his pockets only to groan moments later.

Sasori had stopped walking when Deidara did to give him a strange look. "What's wrong, brat?"

"I think I left my phone in Jiraiya's class..." The blonde grumbled.

"Ah. Would you like me to go back with you to get it?" Sasori offered.

Deidara simply shook his head. "It's okay, yeah. I'll get it myself, just save me a seat in class." He said quickly and gave a small wave before turning on his heel and began speed walking back to Jiraiya's classroom where he thought he'd left his phone.

He grumbled to himself the whole walk back, muttering things about 'how could he be so stupid?' and 'why the hell hadn't he noticed as he was leaving the classroom?' and other things along those lines.

How could he have forgotten the number one thing he never leaves home without? What if someone's taken it and figures out the password then goes through it and deletes all of his pictures?! Or what if they take it and sell it to a pawn shop so they can take the money and buy drugs?! Why anyone would want to do either of those things was beyond him, he just tended to think of the worst when he felt panicked. Which he did because holy shit, his phone had everything on it. And he used it to contact his family back home.

As he slowed his pace to a casual walk, he sighed heavily. There really is no point in running after it. It's not like it's going anywhere and if someone already has it, him sprinting down the hallway isn't going to change anything, only waste his energy.

"Looking for this~?" Came a gruff voice, the hot breath tickling the blonde's ear.

Deidara jumped and stumbled a little as he came to a complete stop, his heart was racing and his eyes wide as he whipped around to see who'd spoken. As he saw who it was, the blonde relaxed and let out a relieved sigh. "Oh, hi Kisame, un."

Kisame simply grinned at the blonde and held up his missing phone. "I'm assuming you were coming back this way for this, right?" He said with his grin still in place, but something just didn't feel right...

Who cares? It's his phone! Deidara gave a quick nod and made a grab for the phone only to have it yanked out of his reach and over the taller male's head. "Ah, ah, ah~ I didn't take this for nothing." He glanced around and grunted before grabbing the blonde's wrist and dragging him to the nearest bathroom.

Deidara was all kinds of confused. Did he just say take his phone? As in, take-take his phone? Why the hell?! His face twisted into a scowl as he turned his furious yet slightly curious gaze to the blue skinned teen. "Why the fuck did you take my phone in the first place, yeah?! I thought we were friends, and last time I checked, friends didn't take other friends' phones!"

Kisame just continued to grin, not seeming the least bit bothered by the blonde's angry yelling. What's with this guy? He'd seemed nice and fairly normal, save for his appearance, for the past month. What the fuck is his problem today?

The blue teen sauntered down the aisle of the bathroom, kicking open every stall door to see that they were alone. He made his way back to the blonde, his smile was replaced with a serious face. "Deidara," He started, his beady black eyes boring into the blonde's azure ones. "I needed to get you alone to warn you about a few things." Warn him? Warn him about what? What the hell's going on?!

Kisame sighed heavily and cocked his head to the side as he eyed the blonde. "We know your abilities haven't awoken in you yet, but that doesn't mean you should be left in the dark about what's been going on and what's about to happen."

Deidara stared dumbfounded at the taller male. What the fuck was he talking about? Abilities? What's about to happen? The fuck, dude? "I can't tell you everything..." Kisame continued. "But you're a good kid and I'd hate to see something bad happen to you." He scanned the room and sighed softly to himself. "Just...be careful around Akasuna. You two have been getting a little close lately. But don't worry about Hidan or Itachi, they know their place and haven't crossed any lines they shouldn't have in the past couple of years."

The blue teen ruffled the blonde's hair and handed him his phone. "I'm sorry I took this. I thought it'd be the best way to get you alone." He offered the blonde an apologetic smile before slipping out of the bathroom, leaving a still very confused Deidara.

The blonde stood there for what seemed like forever just staring at the closed bathroom door, taking in everything Kisame said to him and trying to make sense of it all. "...What the literal fuck, yeah?" He muttered to himself, shaking his head and sighing heavily. "What the hell was that even suppose to mean?! Why would I need to watch out around Sasori?" He mumbled to himself as he exited the bathroom, staring down at his feet as he walked back to his class.

Deidara walked into his Science class and took his seat next to the, of course, sleeping Sasori. He couldn't help but to think about what Kisame had said earlier, watch out around Sasori? But why? Was Sasori hiding something? And what could it have been that would concern Kisame? And what the hell was all that talk about his abilities? What abilities? His art, maybe? But what does any of that shit have to relate to each other?!

Deidara let out a rather loud groan of frustration, slamming his head down on his desk and mumbling angrily under his breath.

"Uh...Dei-chan? Are you okay?" A soft voice asked, placing a tender hand on his shoulder.

Deidara raised his head slightly to meet the concerned gaze of his pink haired friend, Sakura. He slumped down in his seat and gave a careless shrug. "Un. I'm just...confused." He turned and offered her a small smile. "But I'll be fine."

Sakura stared at the blonde for a moment longer before finally giving a slow nod and returning his small smile. "If you say so." She passed a piece of paper to the male, her smile widening. "Here, I took some extra notes for you since you weren't here for them."

Deidara blinked at the girl and happily took the notes, smiling brightly. "Thanks, yeah." She giggled and nodded, going back to her own notes. She's so nice. Why can't she be in his gym class instead of that stupid Hidan. Speaking of Hidan...did Kisame say something about not worrying about Hidan and Itachi because they 'know their place'? What was that all about? He said he was warning him about something, but now he's just confused and doesn't feel like the warning was helpful at all. He's just confused. That's all. What the hell kind of warning was that? Not a helpful one, that's for sure.

The blonde sighed and shrugged the thought off for now, going to his notes and glancing over them. Whatever, it's probably just some stupid prank or something. Or maybe he doesn't know Kisame at all and he's a complete nutjob. Or maybe he doesn't know Sasori at all and Kisame WAS just trying to warn him about something. Or maybe he should just stop thinking about all of this before he gave himself a headache. Yeah, that sounds better.

"Brat?!"

Deidara blinked a few times before turning to look at his annoyed friend. "Yeah?"

Sasori sighed heavily and pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "I knew you weren't listening to me." He shook his head and frowned at the blonde. "What's wrong with you today? You've been acting spacy since you came back from getting your phone this morning. You didn't even bother waking me up when Science class was over." His frown was replaced with a scowl as an unpleasant shiver was sent down his spine. "That creepy ass teacher had to wake me up."

Deidara chewed on the inside of his cheek and nodded slightly. "Uh-huh."

"Okay, brat. Seriously, what's wrong?"

The blonde stared at Sasori for a moment before sighing in defeat, running a hand through his long golden hair. "Just, something Kisame said. It's been bothering me and it's got me all confused and shit, yeah."

"Kisame?"

Deidara nodded and furrowed his brows. "Mhm. He told me some things about some 'abilities' of mine and basically warned me about you or something, but it's all so confusing, un. I don't know what to make of it all."

Sasori nodded, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly. "I see. Is that all he said?"

Deidara nodded, earning a low grunt from the redhead. "Don't worry about what he said." I'll have to have a chat with that no good hunter after school. He finished in his head, turning back to sketching on his paper for their simple art assignment.

The blonde sighed, feeling a weird feeling again but opting to just ignore it. He'd developed a rather painful headache throughout the day, probably from thinking a bit too much about what Kisame had said. He didn't even have an appetite, all he wanted to do was tough it out for the remaining time in his last class of the day then go straight to bed and lay there all weekend.

"Alright, class, five more minutes. Finish up your sketches and hand them into me before you leave and have a wonderful weekend." Kurenai chimed, flashing everyone a bright smile. At least someone was in a good mood today.

Deidara glanced down at his pitiful sketch of a bird, he knows he could've done better but he honestly couldn't care less right now. His eyes wandered over to Sasori's detailed sketch of a bat flying around in the night sky above a beautiful city and gaped at it. He'd seen some of the redhead's work before and every new piece produced by his skillful hands never failed to leave the boy in awe.

Sasori caught a glimpse of Deidara staring at his sketch and let out a soft chuckle. "Are you always going to make that face when I draw or make something, brat? I'm flattered~" He pinched the blonde's cheek playfully and smirked at the younger teen's reddening face.

Deidara swatted his hand away, rolling his eyes and grumbling something incoherent under his breath. Huffing and frowning down at his own sketch. He really should've tried harder on it, it's so sloppy and poorly done.

The blonde let out a soft sigh as the bell rang, the other students rushing to the door, dropping off their sketches on the teacher's desk before crowding in the hallways as they made their way to their dorms. Deidara and Sasori were slower in their dismissal, not bothered to be in any sort of rush. They casually dropped their sketches off and exited the class together before making their way to their room.

Their walk to their dorm room was mostly quiet, neither making any attempt for small talk as both teens seemed to be in their own little worlds. As soon as they entered their dorm, Deidara dropped his things by the door and did a lifeless belly flop on his bed causing it to creek.

Sasori chuckled to himself as he took a seat on his own bed, gazing at the blonde in amusement at his exhaustion. "Rough day, brat?"

Deidara gave a muffled grunt into his pillow as reply. The redhead hummed and leaned on the wall behind him. "Still thinking about what Kisame said even after I told you not to worry about it." He clicked his tongue and sighed dramatically. "When will you learn to listen to your Danna?"

Deidara groaned into his pillow, turning his head just enough to shoot Sasori a weak glare from the corner of his eyes. "Shut up, yeah." He huffed, reburying his face in his pillow.

Sasori snickered at the younger teen, smirking and shrugging. "Alright fine. I guess I won't tell you something that could make you feel better."

The blonde perked up at hearing this and turned his head to gaze at the redhead. "Bullshit. You gotta tell me now, yeah!" He demanded, quickly sitting up and facing the older male, staring at him with curious baby blue eyes.

Sasori's smirk grew at the blonde's curiosity. He's so cute. The redhead hummed and stood up, sashaying over to the younger male who now wore a confused yet curious look. Sitting down beside Deidara and running a hand gently through his soft golden locks, twirling a piece of his hair and smirking, earning a small blush from the boy. "Hmm..." He leaned closer and gazed at Deidara almost dreamily with his heavily lidded chocolate eyes. "Go out with me." His voice was soft and mesmerizing as he spoke to the blushing blonde. His mouth was almost watering at the sweet scent of the blonde, oh how he wanted to sink his fangs into that soft little neck of his and drain him dry.

Deidara rubbed his hot cheek and grumbled something before furrowing his brows in confusion at the older male. "Are you asking me out on a date, yeah?"

Sasori thought for a moment before shrugging. "Maybe I am. What do you say?"

Deidara chewed on his lower lip and frowned as he mulled it over. Should he go out on a date with the redhead? But he didn't even know if he liked him. Hell, he's only recently started liking him as a friend, but he was attractive. But maybe a date with Sasori could help him feel better, or at least take his mind off of things. Besides, it's just one little date, what could possibly go wrong?

Okay, well I'm done. I'm exhausted but I wanted to update so here it is. Now I'm going to cuddle with my cat and watch a movie or something, but I might end up working on an update for one of my other stories too...I dunno.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed! Don't forget to review and have a beautiful day~
