Hey there my faithful readers! How are you all on this fine day?
Dei: Don't ask. We don't know what's wrong with her un.
Saso: I think we might be able to fix it by pissing her off…
Dei: But that could lead to us getting hurt un!
Saso: I didn't say we'd be the ones to face her wrath…
Dei: …then who?
Saso: *smirk*
What's wrong Sasori? Why the smirk? *smiling*
Saso: …OI! KABUTO!
Kab: Did someone besides Orochimaru call me?
What's Kabuto doing here?
Dei: Nothing Kari-chan! Check out my newest creation un! *Distracting me*
Kab: So what is it Sasori?
Saso: *whispers in Kabuto's ear*
Kab: But…why the hell would I-
Saso: Because, Orochimaru told me it'd make you better than Sasuke to him.
Kab: Really? Oh, well then sure!
Saso: Yeah, sure. Just get it over with. Well, I'll tell you what's going on after this…Kari doesn't own Naruto or anything else previously owned.
Chapter 6: To Deceive…
Deidara groaned as he woke up in his bed. What was this warmth that he was laying on? This weird thumping sound? He slowly opened his eyes, only to jump back in shock. He stared down at the sleeping form of Sasori, an innocent look on the redhead's face as he slept. Deidara blinked, not comprehending what was going on. Why was Sasori in his bed? WHEN did they get to his room? The last thing he remembered, he had been working on his father's computer after Hidan's party. That's when he finally put two and two together. He had fallen asleep at the computer. Sasori must've brought him up and put him to bed…but…
Why was he in Deidara's bed?
Deidara looked at Sasori's sleeping face. He seemed so at peace, serene. The blonde couldn't help but smile. He had never seen Sasori so off guard, the redhead was so paranoid. Seeing him like this…so at peace with the world…Deidara absent mindedly ran a hand through Sasori's red locks. He looked so beautiful. Like a work of art. Sasori stirred, his mesmerizing green eyes fluttering open and locking with Deidara's sapphire ones. Deidara, realizing what he was doing, yanked his hand back. He averted his gaze, a deep blush staining his cheeks. "Uh…what are you doing in my bed Sasori?" he asked, mentally cursing his nervous tone.
Sasori looked at the blonde for a moment, sighing. He had forgotten to wake up…well, the truth couldn't hurt…could it? "I was actually watching you sleep." Deidara blinked at the reply. "Watching….sleep?" he asked as he cocked his head to the side. Sasori chuckled at the blonde's cuteness and reached out to stroke his cheek, "Yes. You're really cute when you're asleep. Sometimes you even start mumbling." Deidara's blush deepened at the action as well as the statement, "Mumbling un?" Sasori nodded. "W-what…what do I say?" asked the blonde, worried.
He wasn't about to say it out loud, but lately, he had been having dreams about Sasori. Please tell me I didn't say anything out loud… He thought, looking at his hands in an attempt to hide behind his long blonde locks. Sasori, noticing the boy's uneasiness, said, "Nothing much. You usually say something along the lines of die Luke or something involving Hidan and pushing him off a cliff for fun." It wasn't actually a lie. Before last night, that really was what he had been hearing. Deidara seemed to let out a breath of relief. Sasori thought a minute. How would Deidara react if he finished? "There was one thing though." Deidara tensed. What had he said? "You told me something in your sleep." Deidara felt his heart drop. He didn't actually say- "You told me you loved me."
The room fell silent.
Deidara felt as if he could just scream. He hadn't planned on telling Sasori, he had been in a pretty good denial state for a while. Unfortunately, his mind wouldn't let Sasori leave it. He was frustrated about it really, this had never happened before. Sure, Deidara had had crushes on people in his life. It was natural. But this…"D-did I? Wow un…how w-weird." He stuttered, trying not to look at Sasori.
Sasori had other thoughts. He sat up and moved closer to the blushing warlock. He cupped Deidara's chin and gently pulled his head up to look deep into those amazing blue eyes. "So…is there something you wanna tell me…hmm?" he asked gently. Deidara's blush darkened even more. "W-what do you mean Sasori un?" he asked. Sasori chuckled. "You really don't want to say it? What if I were the one to call off the bet? Screw it. I don't care about the bet anymore. I wanna hear you say it out loud...when you're awake." He moved his face close to Deidara's, ghosting his lips over the blonde's. Deidara shuddered as he felt Sasori run his hand down his arm.
Deidara cracked, pressing his lips to Sasori's in a desperate kiss. Sasori pulled him close, running his hand down the blonde's spine making him shudder again. Before Deidara could deepen the kiss, Sasori pulled back. Deidara looked at him in confusion. "Please? I want to hear the words from your mouth." Sasori whispered causing another shiver to go through Deidara. Said blonde looked into Sasori's clear green eyes, immediately becoming lost in them. "Say it Dei…" Deidara had never heard Sasori use such a pleading tone before. The words fell from his lips, "I love you. I love you so much, it confuses me un. You told me that you've never felt so strongly towards anyone before right? I haven't either…it scares me un…" Sasori caressed Deidara's cheek affectionately, "I understand. Don't be Dei. I won't hurt you. I would never forgive myself if I did. You're so adorable." Sasori captured Deidara's lips, this time running his tongue over Deidara's bottom lip, asking for entrance…
~Later~
Hidan ducked as Deidara threw a chair at him. "YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU THROW A FUCKING SODA AT ME UN?" shrieked the blonde as he chased the silver haired man around the boardwalk, his now soaked and sticky hair flowing behind him. Sasori and Itachi sighed as Tobi and Kisame laughed hysterically. Sasori just watched in a mixture of annoyance and amusement. On the one hand, it pissed him off that Hidan would dare to throw ANYTHING at Deidara. On the other hand, it was fun to watch the so called macho-man running for his life.
The group had decided to take a trip to Coney Island, New York. Everything was going perfectly fine. That is…until Deidara and Hidan had tried one of the carnival games there. Hidan had failed epically at winning a stuffed Stewie Griffin doll, not being able to knock over a small structure of bottles with a baseball. Deidara, on the contrary, knocked them over on his first try. Hidan, being the sore loser idiot that he was, took his frustrations out by chucking his soda at the blonde's head, hitting him right in the middle of the back of his head and getting soda all over the poor boy. Deidara, in turn, had grabbed the nearest chair and chucked it at the silver haired male…and so we're back at the present moment, where Deidara finally caught up with Hidan and tackled him to the ground, punching him repeatedly in the stomach.
"So, who wants ice-cream?" asked Kisame with a grin, obviously not caring if Deidara killed Hidan or not. Not that anyone actually did. It wasn't gonna happen, so they didn't really care. "I'll catch up with you guys in a minute un. I gotta go get cleaned up." Deidara growled as he got up and headed for the nearest building to use their bathroom.
Itachi cleared his throat, catching Sasori's attention. "So," he said, Kisame finishing what he was gonna say by acting like a game show host, "Sasori! You have just won over the blonde heart that many have failed at getting! What will you do now?" Itachi and Sasori rolled their eyes at the blue haired man's childishness. "Me? Well, I'm gonna work on KEEPING the blonde." He muttered. Kisame laughed, "True. That in itself might be hard." "Nah. I don't think it will be." He whispered, smiling at the thought that Deidara had finally cracked.
"I'm back!" Speak of the devil… "Hey Dei." Sasori said as he wrapped his arms around his blonde. Said blonde ducked out of reach and continued walking. Sasori blinked. Ok? That was weird… He went over to the blonde to try and pull him into an embrace once more, only to have Deidara slip out of reach once more. "What's going on?" asked the confused redhead. "Nothing. What makes you think anything's wrong un?" replied the boy, walking alongside Kisame and Itachi as they headed for the ice-cream stand. "Well, you don't usually shy away from me. Not even when you were in denial…" muttered Sasori, wondering why Deidara was acting so nonchalant. Deidara smirked at him, "Well, I don't have to act anymore, do I?" he said. Sasori froze, "Act?" he asked. Deidara chuckled, "Yeah, how else was I gonna get you to drop the stupid bet? I wasn't about to lose my image by chickening out un." he said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "W-what?" Sasori didn't comprehend what the young warlock was saying. Why would he say something like this after…
Sasori felt like his heart was shattering. "Do you mean to tell me you've been ACTING this whole time?" he asked, his voice turning to ice. "Well DUH! You didn't actually think I was FALLING for you , did you? It was all part of the plan un. To think that I've out smarted the great Akasuna! What a joke un!" Deidara laughed coldly at him, stepping up to the stand to order his ice-cream. Sasori, not knowing what to say, glanced at the others. They all had shocked faces. They obviously weren't a part of this….this…GAME. Deidara turned back to Sasori, a coy smile on his lips. "Sad really, that someone that is supposed to be feared by so many was so easily deceived. Why would I fall for someone that only started flirting with me to get revenge on my Gramps un?"
Sasori felt unbearable pain in his heart. He had thought, after hearing the blonde in his sleep and the way he had reacted this morning, that it was only too obvious that Deidara had fallen for him just as hard as Sasori himself had fallen for the boy. To think, all this time it was a…blinding rage filled Sasori. He was heartbroken, embarrassed, and completely infuriated by all this. But..as much as he was pissed, he couldn't bring himself to injure the boy. Instead, he grabbed the milkshake once the seller had offered it and poured it all over Deidara's head.
"HEY! BASTARD! NOW I GOTTA GO CLEAN UP AGAIN UN!" exclaimed Deidara as he stormed off. Sasori ground his teeth. How could Deidara DO that to him? Did he realize how deeply he cared about him? The anger faded, leaving an empty feeling in its place. Sasori sighed. It didn't matter. What was done…was done…
~Meanwhile~
Deidara finished rinsing out his hair. "Fucking Hidan un." he muttered as he sniffed it. "Well, at least I don't smell like Mountain Dew anymore un." he said. He glanced at himself in the mirror, annoyed that this incident had caused him to have to wash out his make-up. Oh well, he had spent enough time cleaning up and cooling down. Time to get back to Sasori. He smiled as he thought of the redhead. It felt good to be in love.
Deidara turned to see someone familiar walking in. The jet black hair and blood red eyes made him all too obvious. Deidara laughed as he noted that he was covered in a milkshake. "If it isn't Abunai! Piss your girlfriend off or something un?" he asked as he started to leave. Abunai smirked, "Oh, not my girlfriend. But never mind that. See ya around Deidara." He said as he made it to the sinks and started to take off his shirt.
Deidara narrowed his eyes at Abunai suspiciously, not liking that response. He shrugged it off and headed outside. He saw his friends standing by the ice-cream stand. "All right! I'm done un!" he said in his cheery voice, automatically walking over to Sasori. Sasori sent him a hate-filled glare and, before Deidara could get close enough, he moved away. Huh? Deidara blinked. What the hell? "What's wrong Sasori?" he asked in concern. One, he didn't like the glare that he had been sent, and two, that fact that Sasori had moved away was very confusing. Sasori glared at him again and said, "Just get the hell out of my face Deidara. I don't wanna be around you." He growled, confusing the poor boy even more. "Did…did I do something un?" he asked. Sasori had never spoken to Deidara like that, save for the first time they had met when Sasori had confused him for his Grandfather. Sasori laughed, the sound empty, "Dumb question. Just leave me alone." He said.
"But Sasori, I don't understand-" "JUST GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME DEIDARA!" Deidara flinched as Sasori yelled. Why? Why was Sasori acting this way? What had he DONE? Sasori had been so happy up until he had gone to the bathroom to-
Deidara blinked as he remembered something. If it isn't Abunai! Piss your girlfriend off or something un? Oh, not my girlfriend. But never mind that. "Abunai." He said with a growl. He had pissed SOMEONE off. "Sasori, can you at least answer a question for me un?" Sasori merely grunted in response, so Deidara asked, "Did you chuck a milkshake at someone?" "Don't act stupid Deidara, he chucked a milkshake at YOU." Came Hidan's voice. Deidara scowled at his friend, but ignored, just letting the information sink in. Sasori had, apparently, chucked a milkshake at him. "Then how the hell did I clean up so fast? You guys know I don't just magic my way clean un. I'm very picky about my looks and magic isn't the best way to get clean." He explained. They all stared at him, the same thought running through all of their minds, including Sasori's. He was right. Sasori remembered asking the blonde about that just the other day. "Why don't you just use magic instead of wasting time in the shower?" "Because, one, I like feeling warm water on my skin, and two, magic doesn't get you COMPLETELY clean un. I care about the way I look, it's something my mom used to say to be proud of un."
Sasori wanted to believe him, he really did. But it still hurt in his chest and he just turned away from Deidara. "I saw Abunai when I was leaving the bathroom." He said. "Abunai?" Itachi and the others all looked at the blonde, realization flashing in their eyes, "Luke's shape shifting friend?" Sasori's felt his heart skip a beat when he heard the words shape shifting. Was Deidara telling the truth? His pride kept him from asking. "Yeah. He walked in, apparently going to wash milkshake from his head." "Now we get it." Said Kisame. "We were wondering why you'd…" said Itachi. Hidan laughed, "Sweet, we get to kick his ass!" Tobi sighed, "Well, at least Tobi now knows Deidara-sempai wasn't really…" They all turned to Sasori.
Sasori looked up at the clouded sky. When had the clouds rolled in? Not ten minutes ago, it had been a beautiful sunny day. "You have to believe me Sasori…I don't know what Abunai said, but I'm sure it wasn't something I'd ever say or do un…" Sasori just stayed quiet. How he wanted to just turn and pull the blonde close. His damn broken pride wouldn't let him. His heart still felt shattered, hearing Deidara voice making fun of him the way it had…
Deidara look at Sasori, fear in his usually mischievous sapphire eyes. Why? He knew that Abunai was only doing what he was paid to do. The bastard felt no remorse. He didn't care what he did, as long as he got the cash. That could only mean that Luke had sent him. Why? Why would Luke do something like this to him? Especially after…no, Deidara would NOT think of that right now…not of the incident that had made him block out the rest of the world. After what Luke had done…Deidara had never gotten close to anyone ever again. Itachi, Kisame, Hidan, and Tobi had been his friends since childhood, so he didn't have to get close to them anymore. He didn't have to get close to ANYONE…he had made a promise that he wouldn't and swore to keep it…
…or so he thought…
And then he had met Sasori and his world was flipped over. Deidara, who had sworn to never let himself get emotionally attached to someone again, had no power over the feelings the redhead invoked in his heart. Without even realizing it at first, he had fallen for Sasori. Then he told himself it wasn't true, denied it. But this morning…no. He had lost his parents, his brother had scarred him, his grandfather was an ass…Sasori…he didn't wanna lose Sasori. He had just admitted to himself that Sasori was the love of his life…he didn't want to be hurt again.
"Sasori…please." He said softly. He could feel the tears stinging his eyes. He wouldn't let them fall. Not around his friends. He never cried around them, especially Hidan. Kisame, glancing at him, said, "Itachi, Hidan, Tobi…let's give them a few minutes alone…" Hidan smirked, "Let's go see if Abunai is still here! He deserves an ass whooping!" Deidara could hear it in their voices. They knew he was holding it in. He looked up at Kisame and mouthed Thank you. Kisame nodded, an angry look in his eyes. He and Itachi were always looking out for him…
Kisame led the group away and frowned. "Ass whooping isn't good enough." He growled. Hidan's smirk fell, "No. It's not. The fucker deserves to rot in a cell for making Deidara cry." "Rot? He deserves to die, painfully, slowly, agonizingly." Stated Itachi. "Tobi doesn't like it when sempai cries…" They fell silent. No. None of them liked knowing that Deidara was crying. He NEVER cried in front of them. Not ever. He always played the part of the cocky leader. But the four of them had known the blonde for so many years, it would be absurd if they didn't know when he was about to break down. They respected the warlock enough to leave, not watch, they all knew Deidara liked it better that way. But, even so, Deidara rarely cried. The last time they remembered seeing his eyes glassy, promising to let tears fall, was when his father, Kuroi, had been found dead in his office. Deidara had locked himself in his room, not wanting anyone to see his weak side. That had been five years ago. Besides times like that, Deidara never cried. He could break every bone in his body, scream bloody murder, but not a single tear would fall from his eyes. Deidara was the type to smirk at pain, to laugh, to be frustrated, but not to cry.
The four reached the building they had seen Deidara walk to after Hidan had hit him with the soda and saw Abunai. "Let the fun begin." Hidan said with a scowl…
~Back with Sasori and Deidara~
Once the others were far enough that they couldn't see him, the tears just fell. Deidara didn't know why he was crying. He rarely cried…but the thought of losing what he had just found…the tears fell faster as he bit back a sob. Why wasn't Sasori looking at him? Why wouldn't he believe him? WHY?
Sasori was still looking up at the dark clouds as he felt drops of rain start to slowly fall on his face. His heart stopped as he heard a sob. No way. Deidara couldn't be crying. He didn't dare look at the blonde, afraid that his pride would shatter completely if he did. He had never seen Deidara cry. He hadn't thought the boy was even capable of it. But another sob that had broken free from Deidara's mouth was proving Sasori wrong. "Why?" he sobbed, "Why is this happening to me un? Why? I finally open my heart to someone, after I had sworn I wouldn't ever do that again, and Luke has to go and ruin it! It's not fair!" Lightning flashed across the sky and the rain started to pour down. Sasori lowered his gaze some, but didn't let it fall on Deidara, still fighting not to look at the blonde. "WHY DOES LUKE HATE ME SO FUCKING MUCH? WHAT DID I EVER DO TO HIM THAT HE HAS TO MAKE MY LIFE A LIVING HELL? AS IF WHAT HE DID TO ME FOUR YEARS AGO WASN'T ENOUGH UN? NOW…NOW HE HAS TO GO AND TAKE THE ONLY PERSON I OPENED MY HEART TO? I…I can't…it's too much…I can't take all this pain…you said…you promised you wouldn't hurt me Sasori…"
Sasori risked looking down at Deidara once those words left his lips. His composure broke. The boy just looked so broken, so helpless. Rain and tears were streaming down his face which was twisted into such a pain filled expression, his mouth open as he sobbed, his sapphire eyes screwed shut. He had his arms wrapped around himself as he fell to his knees, the sobs still flowing to Sasori's ears. Sasori felt a stab of guilt. Why didn't he just believe him in the first place? Why was he so stupid that he'd let Deidara get like this? He quickly walked over to the blonde, kneeling down and pulling him into a comforting embrace. Deidara flinched and his eyes shot open, staring at Sasori in confusion. "Shh..stop crying Dei…" Sasori hushed. He started to rub Deidara's back comfortingly, laying his chin on top of Deidara's head. He heard Deidara start crying again and held him close, his heart aching as each sob felt like a knife to his heart.
He couldn't stand it. Deidara shouldn't be crying. He hadn't wished it on the boy, not even when he had only been toying with him. He didn't want to see him like this ever again. He pulled away a little and cupped Deidara's chin, bringing his pain filled eyes up to meet his. His heart tore as he saw the tears in those amazing eyes. "It's ok Dei…I'm so sorry. I was just…I…fucking pride, I curse it so much. I should've just believed you when you said you hadn't said those things…when you said you didn't even know what I meant. I'm so sorry. I…can't stand seeing you like this. Please…" Sasori place his lips on Deidara's briefly and said, "I didn't mean to hurt you. I hate myself for that now." Deidara looked into those green eyes as he let the words sink in. Sasori smiled softly at him, "Please don't cry. I can't stand it. I love you so much that it hurts me to see you like this. I promise, I'll get that Abunai…and Luke." Deidara shook his head, a pout on his face, "No. Luke is mine. You can't kill him un." Sasori chuckled. Seemed like the blonde was quick to recover. He gently wiped the tears from his eyes before kissing the boy deeply, slipping his tongue into his mouth.
Deidara quickly melted into the kiss, moaning slightly as he wrapped his arms around Sasori's neck tightly, pulling him closer. He would get Luke. Make him pay for all the shit he had put him through…for all the wrongs he had done towards him. But now…Deidara moaned again as Sasori started to rub his back sensually. Deidara tightened his grip on Sasori's neck, rubbing his tongue on Sasori's as he moaned.
Sasori picked the blonde up bridal style, breaking the kiss for some much needed air. He looked at Deidara's face, letting the image burn into his mind. Deidara's eyes were half lidded, glazed over with lust as he panted, trying to regain his breath. A deep blush stained his beautiful, wet face as his wet hair framed it perfectly. Sasori suddenly saw that sunlight was reflecting off of the droplets of rain water that were slowly dripping down Deidara's face. He looked up to see the clouds part and the late afternoon sun shine through. He looked back at Deidara and chuckled. Deidara's emotions affect the weather… Deidara blinked, finally regaining his composure. "What's so funny un?" he asked. Sasori kissed him gently, "Nothing. You're just too cute sometimes." He replied. Deidara blinked and pouted, as if he didn't like that answer. That made Sasori chuckle more. He nuzzled his face into the blonde's neck. "God Deidara, I love you way too much." He said.
Deidara blinked and then laughed, the sound making Sasori's heart soar. He looked at him, relishing the sight of Deidara's beautiful smile as he carried him back home. Deidara buried his face into Sasori's neck and said, "I love you too…Sasori-no-danna." Sasori almost tripped when he heard the words. "Danna?" he asked. When no answer came he looked down, only to see that Deidara had fallen asleep in his arms. He smiled at his blonde. "Wow Atisuto-san…I wish you could've met him…I'm sure you'd be crazy about this kid." He muttered as he kept on walking…
