Chapter 7
Masahiko opened her heavy eyes, noticing Sasori was still asleep on the other side of the couch. Unaware of her surroundings, she sat up and met eyes with Sasori's grandmother. The elderly lady was just sitting on an arm chair watching TV. How long had she been there? The girl hoped she wasn't snoring! That would be so embarrassing! "G-good morning." She said awkwardly, her voice low and still half asleep.
"Good morning dear, how did you sleep?" Chiyo asked kindly.
"I... uh... It was good." Masahiko stuttered, her eyes following the old lady as she got up.
"How about some break fast? You should come chat with me while I prepare something. I'm sure he'll wake up by the time it's done." She glanced down at her grandson lovingly and then back up at his girlfriend.
Masahiko nodded, looking to Sasori quickly before getting up off the couch. He was all huddled up in the blankets. You wouldn't have even been able to tell he was there if his crimson hair wasn't sticking out. He must not have liked it when people saw him sleep. Senpai was so cute, the girl thought with amusement. She was nervous what Chiyo wanted to chat about. Masahiko wasn't a big talker, especially not in the mornings. Hurry and wake up already, Sasori!
"Do you like bacon?" His grandmother asked, leaning over in the fridge and taking out a package.
Masahiko just nodded, silently wondering what crazy human being wouldn't like bacon? She didn't voice it though.
Putting the bacon on to fry, Chiyo turned back towards her. "You're both so quiet, you know you don't have to be shy around me."
She nodded, knowing she didn't -have- to be shy around her, but what exactly was there to talk about? It wasn't so much that she was scared to speak, she just had no topics jump in her mind that the old lady would want to hear about. How she made a fool of herself trying to have sex with her grandson last night, wasn't exactly a topic Masahiko thought the old lady would want to discuss.
The girl looked around the room curiously, another photograph catching her eye. It must've been Sasori's parents again but in this photo he wasn't there. It was a wedding photo. It made her sad to see the happy expressions on their faces and what a horrible demise they both had.
Catching her glance, Chiyo made a soft smile, "Did he tell you about them?"
"Y-yes." Masahiko said quietly, a bit caught off guard.
"That's good. He doesn't mention them around me anymore so I'm glad he told someone else." The old lady said, sounding a bit sad but relieved at the same time. The girls expression turned to sympathetic. Sasori never told his grandmother that stuff? And here she thought he told her everything.
"Sasori's father was my son and he looks -so- much like him, it's kinda like reliving the past for me." Chiyo said with amusement and Masahiko smiled lightly, continuing to listen to her story. "It was so hard for me when my son said he had a girl friend, Sasori's mother, that I was almost disapproving at first. She was a sweet lady though and loved Sasori very much. Sasori was always a pretty quiet kid but he'd always get so happy when she was around... It was really sweet. His father was always into puppetry too, I guess you could say it runs in the family. He would always bring Sasori home new toys, no matter how small or silly, he'd always get so excited." Chiyo reminisced. Masahiko's eyes watered up a bit then, she had to hold it in though. She couldn't cry in front of his grandmother!
"He's pretty much disinterested in everything now. All he really does is make puppets, he barely talks to anyone at school and mostly keeps to himself too. I was so glad when he met Deidara. Sasori's not easy to get along with but I'm really happy at least a couple of people have given him a chance." Chiyo said, sounding really grateful.
Masahiko just smiled, "You don't have to sell him to me, I already know Sasori is amazing."
The old lady chuckled, dishing up the bacon and passing the girl a plate full. She had really made a lot! "Thank you, really. I hope you'll take good care of him for me." Chiyo admitted, making the girl's heart beat speed up. That was the second person to tell her to take care of Sasori, Deidara had said it too. But was she really so great? So important that she could actually help him? They put too much confidence in her, for sure!
It wasn't much longer before Sasori entered the kitchen, his red hair even shaggier than usual and his eyes still heavy and half asleep. He was wearing a pair of baggy pajamas and a t-shirt but he looked so adorable. She just wanted to hug him and reassure him that someone loved him, well besides his granny. The boy sat beside her at the table, while Chiyo greeted him lovingly as usual and dished him up some bacon.
After break fast, Sasori's grandmother suggested them to go out somewhere. They did just that, having no ideas of their own anyway. "Where should we go, senpai? We already went to the park and the beach yesterday, I can't think of anywhere else." The girl said casually, mostly just looking for an excuse to clear the silence. She took his hand and smiled happily, causing him to smile a little in return.
Sasori just shrugged, "I'm bad at making plans. Maybe we could just walk around town for a bit?"
Masahiko chuckled at his honestly, "Yeah sure, maybe we'll find something to do once we get there. Or even just walking around and chatting is fun too!"
Once they made it out to town, they were still just as lost as they were before. Both teens didn't really get out much so plans were not their forte. It was quite crowded too, which made hearing the quiet boy just that much more difficult. Masahiko rubbed her chin with her free hand, the other one still holding Sasori's. What could they do? They already ate so that left all food places off the list, she doubted Sasori would want to go clothes shopping...
Just then something in a store window caught her eye, making her mouth drop and ended with her pulling the boy over to look too. "What am I looking at?" Sasori asked sceptically, raising an eye brow as she now pulled him into the store, which seemed to be some type of arcade once they made it in.
"It's cheese-kun, Sasori senpai! He's soooo cute! I need him!" The girl exclaimed, pulling the stuffed thing off the shelf and hugging it.
He'd never seen her so excited before in his life. "Cheese who?" Sasori asked, still confused. He peered at the thing, it looked like a big glob of cheese with a top hat, was it supposed to be cute?
"Cheese kun!" The girl said, calming down a bit from her outburst. "He's a true gentlemen, and the master of pizza.~"
Sasori just nodded his head, still not understanding.
"I collect cute things, okay?" Once she looked at the price tag, her face fell. "I don't have a enough tickets though... I could play more games but I'm so bad it'll probably take me days..." Masahiko admitted, putting him back on the shelf and looking like she just lost a friend.
Sasori made an amused sound, "If you want, I could help you out?"
Her eyes sparkled then, but she felt bad forcing him to play games with her all night, if he didn't want to. "But senpai, are you sure?!" She gasped.
"It's fine, we don't have anything else to do and you seem to really want this 'cheese-kun'." The boy said, not seeming to care as much. "I'd hate to have you waiting, so if we both try, it'll be quicker." Sasori admitted, he did enjoy seeing her so happy so if winning enough tickets was what it took, he could give it a shot.
"Okay! It can be fun too!" Masahiko exclaimed, "I have a bit of money so I'll go buy us some tokens to play."
Once the girl got back, Sasori was anxious to start. He somewhat enjoyed video games so he went around and played a few. He was willing to play all of them really, except dance dance revolution and the sports games. It turned out Sasori's hands weren't just good at making art, he was also really good at video games!
"Sasori senpai, you're the best!" Masahiko gushed as he won her more tickets, probably more than enough for the toy.
He passed her a huge stack of them then, like it was no big deal, "Is this enough?"
The girl nodded, taking them gratefully. "It is! Thank you so much, I love you!" She exclaimed, bringing him into a tight hug. It took her a few moments to realize what she had said... She had just blurted it out, she hadn't meant it like -that-! Hopefully Sasori wouldn't feel uncomfortable!
Masahiko blushed against his chest before pulling away. Now Sasori was blushing too. Oh no! She -had- made him uncomfortable! She was almost about to terribly explain herself before he said something unexpected, "I love you too..." The boy said quietly, shifting his gaze away from her.
She felt her heart stop in her chest, happiness enveloping her body. Sasori had said he loved her? In an arcade? It wasn't the most romantic spot or how she even pictured their 'I love you's' to be but he said it! He really said it! The girls eyes watered and she hugged him again, wondering if she should say it again, for real since she had just sorta blurted it out before.
"I really really love you..." Masahiko admitted, more serious and Sasori just smiled lightly.
"I really really love you too." He repeated.
After buying the toy, the arcade keeper surprised how someone could get that many tickets that fast, the two left to go back to the school. A couple hours had past, so the two socially awkward teens had enough for their outting today. Masahiko hummed happily the whole way back and Sasori just chuckled at her happiness.
Once they made it back to the school, Masahiko took him up to her dorm where she laid Cheese-kun down in her bed. It was Sasori's first time actually in her room, she thought to herself before scanning the room for things she wouldn't want him to see. No underwear laying out this time, thankfully. None that she could see anyway.
Masahiko laid down on her bed and offered for Sasori to lay with her. He didn't feel as comfortable in other people's spaces, so he just sat. She wouldn't push him any further though. "I'm gonna keep him so I can remember our date forever!" The girl said happily, poking the new toy.
Sasori just smiled lightly, looking like something was on his mind. "Good." He said quietly staring at... the dragon her and Deidara made.
"Is everything okay, senpai?" The girl asked nervously, shifting up to sit beside him.
"Did Deidara make you that?" He asked, his tone hinting at jealousy.
She looked over at the dragon and then nodded, "Yeah, we made it together." Was Sasori jealous? Surely, he should know she was his! Deidara was her friend, but she didn't keep the dragon around because she hoped to get back with him. It was just a fond memory of hers.
"You're not with Deidara anymore so I want you to get rid of it." Sasori decided bitterly.
Masahiko's face fell, unsure of what to say. Was it right to get rid of it? Was it wrong of her to keep something her ex boyfriend gave her? What did it mean that she didn't want to? Was she still holding on to Deidara? "It's not like I keep it as a suvinear of being with Deidara... It's not like that at all... He's a friend and it's something precious to me."
Sasori's expression turned to frustrated, he didn't really know how to explain himself without looking like a prick. He wasn't sure if he was right or wrong but seeing it there, reminding him of her and Deidara just pissed him off. And knowing she still thought so 'fondly' of her time with Deidara..."Did you make it when you two were together?" Sasori asked, catching her off guard.
"Uhh... yeah we did." Masahiko admitted.
The red head frowned, knowing his second thought was right... She still did cherish her memories with him. "That's all the more reason to get rid of it. What you had with Deidara was pointless, it was two days. If it's not eternal, it's meaningless. I thought you agreed with me but apparently you'd rather hold on to your little fleeting memories."
The girls eyes watered, a bit offended that he'd throw that eternal thing in her face... It hurt because that was why her and Deidara got in that fight... Because of their damn art. She didn't mean to personally attack Deidara from what she said, and she didn't mean for the dragon to be an attack against Sasori! "Look, I'll put it away for now and get rid of it later. Is that okay? Can we just forget about it for now?" Masahiko offered, getting up and stuffing the small dragon into her closet.
Sasori just stared at her, knowing he upset her but he didn't feel he did anything wrong to apologize.
The girl sighed, sitting down on the bed again and giving Sasori a hug. She was so happy before she didn't -want- to stay upset with him. She supposed if she put herself in the boys shoes, she'd probably feel the same way if she were him. If Sasori had an ex girlfriend and clung onto her posessions so dearly, that would make Masahiko jealous too. "I'm really sorry, Sasori. I didn't think anything of keeping it because I know I love -you-, and I always will. There's no doubt about it."
The boy just nodded, returning her embrace. She felt terrible now... If only she had known that dumb dragon would hurt him, she'd had told him goodbye at the door. Now Sasori was really upset, well for his standards. She pouted, seeing her attempt at comfort wasn't working. Grabbing Cheese-kun, Masahiko put him in front of the boy. "Cheese-kun says you should cheer up because today's supposed to be a happy day." The girl said stubbornly and managed to get a small smile out of him.
"I still don't see the fuss over that thing." Sasori admitted, turning back to his usual self for the most part.
Masahiko giggled, leaning in to kiss her boyfriend briefly. "Well, he sure cheered you up, so!"
"I wasn't even upset." Sasori countered, giving her a kiss of his own.
Masahiko let go of the toy and wrapped her arms around Sasori's neck as he moved them onto the bed, laying side by side now. The boy leaned in to kiss her again, more romantic and passionate this time. His lips were so soft and gentle, she couldn't get enough of them. "Y'know it really made me happy when you said you loved me earlier." Masahiko admitted, her cheeks tinting pink as she stared into his grey-brown eyes.
Sasori smiled lightly, "Same." He admitted awkwardly, pulling her into another kiss. His lips were so soft and timid, it made her heart jump every time he touched her. Soon the kisses grew hungrier until they were full on making out. Sasori slipped his tongue into her mouth again and it suddenly felt like deja vu from the night before. She could feel herself getting turned on but she couldn't act on it! Couldn't get rejected again!
The boy broke the kiss then, panting for breath. "I want to try getting... intimate with you but I've never done this before, so..." Sasori admitted, making Masahiko's eyes widen.
She was sure she wanted it last night but now she was a bit scared that he was so willing. "It's okay, I want to try it too, senpai." Masahiko admitted, and not a second longer Sasori worked at getting her shirt off. His lips met hers again as his hands fumbled at her pants, undoing the button and quickly pulling them off too. She was just in her bra and panties now and he was still fully clothed! "Hey, I'm not taking anything more off until you do." The girl said stubbornly, blushing red from embarrassment. She wanted him too badly now to even think about stopping though.
Sasori pulled his shirt over his head, revealing his skinny but attractive body. Deidara was more built than him, but she thought muscles wouldn't have suited the boy anyway. The red head unbuttoned his pants then, more embarrassed to take them off than his shirt. Masahiko put her hands down and helped him take them off, reassuring him that he didn't have to be self conscious. After stripping down to now just in his boxers, Sasori went to unhook the girls bra first. Apparently she would be naked before him. Leaving her breasts exposed now, the boy wasted no time and pulled down her panties too. At least he'd never make her wait. Running a hand over her breasts and then just grazing between her legs, Sasori kissed her again. "You're beautiful." He mumbled, his soft lips against hers as he lovingly kissed her again. Her heart beat sped up, he was taking this so quickly she didn't even have time to mentally prepare.
"S-sa...sori..." The girl whined in between kisses, his hands still roaming her body and teasing her. He gave her breasts the occassional grope but other than that he was just grazing her with his finger tips. She was so wet now, couldn't he even tell? She gasped when he got to the area she was longing for, his gentle finger moving over her wetness. He moved his finger deeper into her, rubbing down her clit as he explored. It felt so amazing but she was longing for more, so much more! She wanted to shout out, to tell him what she wanted but she felt dirty saying such things so she just settled for silently whining his name.
He continued rubbing down her opening, her juices rubbing off on his finger and more dripping down her leg. "Senpai..." the girl squirmed, longing for something to be inside of her. The boy took his finger out then, making her whine in confusion and loss. Sasori brought it up to his mouth and licked it.
"It's sweet." He commented, making her blush bright red. He moved lower on the bed, was he going to...? She could never stop him from doing -that-!
"S-sasori!" The girl moaned as his tongue found her womanhood. She arched her back to get as much of him as she could.
"Does it feel good?" Sasori asked quietly, making her nod and urge his head towards her again.
"Yes... It's wonderful... Please don't stop..." She begged.
Sasori didn't hesitate to continue, lapping away at her pink folds. Each and every movement bringing her closer and closer to the edge. He kissed and sucked on her clit, thrusted his tongue inside of her, all making the girl pant and moan until she eventually climaxed. Masahiko blushed, feeling her self conscious thoughts return to her as she quickly closed her legs and urged the boy up towards her again.
"Was it enjoyable?" Sasori asked, making her giggle and kiss him, tasting herself against his lips.
"What do -you- think?"
It felt exhilarating going this far with senpai, she almost couldn't believe it was happening. There was no going back now but it would be okay, right? He loved her and was hers for eternity. She put a nervous hand to the hem of Sasori's boxers, giving him enough time to pull away if he didn't wish to be touched. He didn't hesitate and helped her pull them down, revealing his erection. He wasn't as big as Deidara but that was all she really had to compare it too. She loved her senpai none the less though, size didn't even matter. Wrapping her hand around it and eager to please him, Masahiko jerked at it. Sasori gasped at the contact, moving the girl closer to him and letting her rest against his chest.
He rubbed at her opening again, feeling as if he was leaving her out otherwise. The boy thrusted a finger into her quickly as she jerked him at an equal pace. "Sasori senpai..." The girl moaned, working against his fingers as he added a second one. She held onto his base tightly, picking up her pace. With the thought in mind, she kind of wanted to try using her mouth too. She had never done it before but surely Sasori wouldn't judge her if she screwed up.
Sad at the loss of his finger, but eager none the less, Masahiko bent down and took his manhood in her mouth. Sasori gasped, the first time he'd ever felt anything like it. He didn't like this, this loss of control but he could never tell her to stop now. The girl bobbed her head down his erection, her warm moist mouth feeling like heaven around him. He could feel the warmth right at his tip, waiting to be released. Should he warn her or...? With no time left to think, he had already released into her mouth. Thinking it was over, Masahiko let go just for more to splat in her face.
The girl blushed slightly, most of her face now -hidden- anyway. She quickly grabbed a tissue from the night stand and wiped it off. "It's okay... I... uh..."
"I should've warned you, sorry." Sasori admitted, pulling up his boxers now. Now that his erection was going away... he was embarrassed at his size.
Seeing the boy had covered himself up again, Masahiko put her bra and panties back on and cuddled up to him. "Will you stay the night with me, Sasori?" She asked longingly, pulling the covers up over them.
"Of course." He reassured, holding her against him. Letting herself lay against his chest, she felt peaceful and at ease in his arms.
"I love you." Masahiko admitted.
Sasori smiled lightly and then replied, "I love you too."
Masahiko awoke in the morning with Sasori now gone. She blinked curiously, wondering where he could have went... Maybe he got second thoughts about them? Before panicking she did the first thing she did every morning, she checked her phone,
[Text from: Sasori]
= I'm sorry I couldn't wake up with you. I'm taking extra classes so I start earlier than most students. You looked peaceful... So I didn't want to wake you. Have a good day, I can see you later if you want.
[Text from: Deidara]
= Did you have sex with Danna?
She frowned at Deidara's text... How was she even supposed to answer that? Deciding to ignore him all together, the girl concentrated on getting ready for her own class which was starting in an hour. After she got dressed and put on a little bit of make up on, Masahiko headed out with a few minutes to spare. With no apparent luck as usual, she ended up bumping into the very person she was avoiding. "Massy-chan!" Deidara called, following her down the hall.
"Hey, Deidara." Masahiko said quietly, not having the heart to ignore him in person but hoping he wouldn't bring up the message he texted her.
"So, you didn't answer my text, hm." The blond said, putting an end to her hopes.
"It's none of your business, Deidara." Masahiko said, still trying to keep a kind tone. She didn't want to lose her temper with him but it -really- was none of his business!
"Hmm?" Deidara smirked with amusement, not losing any ground as he followed her down the hall. He could tell she was trying to walk faster, trying to avoid him but until she made it to her classroom that wasn't going to happen. "So, was he big? Bigger than me?" Deidara smiled kindly, acting like he was asking something innocent.
Masahiko just blushed, "Deidara! Why are you asking about the size of your friends-" The buzzer rang for class to begin and she was about to scurry off down the hall when, Deidara told to her to wait. Maybe it was just her being used to doing what she was told, but she stopped, waiting for him and what he had to say.
"Don't worry, I'll let you go to class, hm. I just had one request though, not to do with anything like what you're thinking." He chuckled then, making her impatience flare inside her. She'd rather not walk into class late and get disapproving looks from the teacher. "But there's a field trip in a few days and I thought you should go." Deidara passed her the flyer and permission slip. "Okay you can go now."
Masahiko looked down at the papers, figuring she'd read them later once class was over. She thanked Deidara and then ran off to her class. Why did she always get this strange feeling when she saw him? Like every sense her body had was aching for him. Was it just because he was attractive or should she be worried about it? As long as she didn't act on it, things would be okay, right?
During lunch time she opened up the pamphlet Deidara had given her about the trip. She almost freaked out in public when inside there were a picture or two of her Senpai's puppets. It seemed the field trip was to take some of the best artists work and display them in another town. Did that mean Sasori senpai was going too? Was Deidara going? He had only mentioned that he thought 'she' should go.
It wasn't long afterwards until Sasori joined her, in the usual spot by the tree. "Sasori!" The girl exclaimed, bringing him into a tight hug before pulling away. "I missed you." Masahiko admitted, causing Sasori to smile lightly.
"I missed you too." He looked down at the pamphlet she was holding, sparking his interest. "Oh, I was going to ask you about that today but it seems you've already found out about it. Are you going?" Sasori asked curiously.
Masahiko's eyes sparkled, she could go on a field trip with Sasori senpai? "Yeah! I mean, I assume you're going if some of your art is on display. We could have our first trip together as a couple!" She blushed then, feeling ashamed for her forwardness. "I... uh... understand though, you'll be busy preparing for art shows and stuff but it would be nice if we could spend some time together too, if only a little bit."
Leaning over, the puppet artist gave her a kiss on the cheek, surprising her since Sasori usually didn't like PDA. "Yeah, I'll be busy but I'm sure we'll get a few spare moments to do stuff together." He smiled reassuringly and she couldn't help but smile back.
Over the next few days, Masahiko didn't get to see Sasori senpai too much at all. She understood though, he was busy preparing for the art show and she could still see him every day at lunch time at least. After the buzzer rung, he would always reassure her that he loved her and would see her again tomorrow. She saw Deidara once in a while, but only when she bumped into him at school, they never hung out after class anymore. Well he never asked her and she dared not to ask him. The girl spent most of her afternoons doodling in her sketch pad, wondering how long it would take for her to catch up to the everyone in the art show. Masahiko just felt so far behind and with improvement taking it's jolly ol' time to greet her, the long days just felt longer and unproductive. Maybe by the time the next Satsuki art show came around, in two months, she would finally be ready.
On the day of the field trip, Masahiko lined up with the other students, waiting to drop off her luggage in the compartment on the bus. She looked around the flock of people but couldn't find Sasori among them. Had he already gotten on? He was rather impatient so she figured that might have been the case. Her phone buzzed in her pocket when she almost made it to the front of the line and she checked it figuring she still had a moment or two to spare.
[Text from: Sasori]
= Hey. I guess we wont be able to sit with each other during the bus ride. I ended up having to sit with the teachers in the first bus. I'm sorry, but I'll see you afterwards?
Masahiko felt her heart clench. She was really looking forward to spending time with Sasori today... But looks like she was held back once again. It wasn't his fault though... It was just irritating. She almost couldn't wait until this damn field trip were over, it was the whole reason she couldn't see him all week and couldn't see him now either. The person in front of her got on the bus and she quickly put her stuff in the compartment before getting on herself. The girl found a seat in the middle, the seat beside her being untaken. Masahiko didn't mind who would end up taking the seat, she just hoped they weren't feeling talkative.
[Text to: Sasori]
= It's okay, Sasori. I just miss you. :(
His answer was immediate.
[Text from: Sasori]
= I miss you too.
Staring at her phone longingly, unaware of most of her surroundings, she didn't notice someone take the seat beside her. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest when they smiled at her... It was Deidara. "Hey, it's odd Danna's not sitting with you, hm? Or did I just steal his seat?" The blond artist asked casually, getting comfortable.
Feeling her cheeks heat up, but refusing to admit it the girl just shook her head. "Oh no, Sasori got on the teachers bus so it's just me." She chuckled a bit afterwards, trying to reassure him she was okay with it.
"That was a dick move, hm." The boy pointed out.
"I'm sure he didn't have a choice." Masahiko defended.
Sighing, Deidara put his hands behind his head and slouched back. "Yeah, I guess he's been pretty busy, hm. What have you been up to the past week?" He turned an eye towards her, not seeming to care all that much but eager for conversation none the less.
"Oh uh..." Masahiko thought about her pitiful week, unsure of really what to say. "I guess I was just practicing drawing... I don't think I got very far though." She admitted. "How about you, Deidara?"
He looked out the front window of the bus, looking just as frustrated as she had been. "Nothing really. Practicing art too I guess." Deidara shrugged, silence ensuing the two until the bus engine started running and they set forth towards the other town.
"So, how are you and Danna doing, hm?" Deidara asked out of the blue, interrupting the silence between them. The rest of the bus however was rather chatty.
Caught off guard, Masahiko hesitated a moment before nodding. "Good, good. It just feels like we haven't spent time together in forever. It's not his fault though and I'm sure the trip will be a good time." She smiled reassuringly, her constant positivity almost irritating the blond.
It was true he still had feelings for her, but they had dulled a bit now so that he could at least hang out with her without it being awkward. "Hmm, I see." The boy said, not seeming to be paying attention as he looked out the window.
"How are you, Deidara?" She asked, feeling guilty about letting him down before. Masahiko wondered if Deidara was completely over her, and it even made her sad to think he didn't feel anything towards her anymore. But she shouldn't want him to still like her, it was just selfish, right?
Giving her a forced smile, Deidara replied, "I'm good." She almost would have believed it too but she knew better.
Masahiko pouted, "Don't lie, Dei. That smile was fake."
The blond chuckled, waving his hands innocently. "No really, I'm okay just... I really want us to be friends again and able to hang out like before. But it seems like when I try to talk to you it just gets awkward and I don't know why, hmm." He looked down to his knees now, sadly but thoughtful.
Masahiko squirmed a bit in her seat, feeling uncomfortable at the topic but also happy that Deidara was sharing his thoughts with her. She felt the same way afterall and couldn't help that maybe the problem was with her. She still had feelings for Deidara whether she liked it or not, and after being his girlfriend it just felt weird to be demoted to a friend. "I feel the same way but... Maybe it's just bound to be awkward at first... I mean, let's just act normally and fake it until we make it." She twiddled her thumbs in her lap, feeling shy to talk so seriously. "Soon i'm sure it will be completely natural for us again- like before."
Deidara turned an eye towards her, thinking it through. "Yeah, that could work. I'm not really worried too much it just pisses me off." He sighed then, refusing to say the rest. After all, he wanted the awkwardness to go away, not make it worse.
"Don't be pissed off, Dei." Masahiko said sadly and the boy just clenched his fists.
"It doesn't help that Danna has been so hostile towards me. He acts like I have a secret plot to steal you away, hmm."
The girl blinked in shock. It was understandable that Sasori would hold negative feelings towards Deidara but he was also his friend so... Wasn't that taking it too far? Masahiko didn't hold a grudge towards him and -she- was the one who was hurt. "I'm sorry I've caused so much trouble between you two... I'll try to talk to him about it, if you want." The red haired girl offered.
"Yeah if -you- want, hm." Deidara shrugged.
It wasn't long until the bus came to a screeching stop, making their destination. She wasn't expecting Deidara to turn to her and grin. "Don't look so gloomy, hm. We can hang out and explore town until it's time for the art show."
Masahiko nodded enthusiastically.
To be continued...
