I want to avoid writing a lemon every chapter; I know that can become very under-whelming after a while. Thank you for reading!

Now we do have three pairings left, I want to hear back from readers which pairing you would like next! Zetsu/Deidara, Tobi (Madaara)/Deidara (if I use Tobi instead of Madaara he could be uke…), and of course our long-awaited-favourite… ITA/DEI, who else is super excited?

With his collected box full of clay, tools and clothes in-hand; he looked around at Tobi's surprisingly spacious room and sighed.

"Of course the idiot gets the nicest room un." Tobi looked up from his drawing and stared at Deidara.

"Tobi asked for a nice room, so Tobi got one. Deidara-sama could have had one too." Deidara threw the box on his bed and plopped down after it. The bed was much larger than his old one. He could defiantly get used to this room.

"Tobi?"

"Eh Sempai?" Tobi was marking up the paper he had with an artistic focus, carefully positioning the paper so the blonde couldn't fully see it. Deidara made a mental note to sneak a peek later.

"Why did Sasori-Danna have me room with you un?" Deidara was slightly worried about his Danna, even if the other man had been rude and disgusting to him earlier. Tobi didn't make any indication that he had heard the blonde and continued with his drawing silently. Deidara cocked a brow at the sudden change in Tobi's attitude but dismissed it as him being stupid and turned over onto his left side.

"Deidara-sempai, Itachi-san likes you." Deidara froze, not only was that still the answer to the proper question, but what did Tobi know about Itachi and him? Suddenly standing to tower over the sitting man, Deidara blew messy blonde hair out his face and glared down.

"Oh yeah? And you would know that how un?" Paying little attention to Deidara, the orange mask moved with the pencil he was holding and was barely heard.

"He had a pretty picture of Sempai in his room." Crossing his arms, the blonde huffed at the word 'pretty' and stared away from Tobi.

"Pretty my white ass un." Ignoring Tobi's quiet but audible giggle, Deidara was considering the pros and cons of leaving the room to roam away from this moron or to stay and sleep. Something about sleeping at the moment seemed like a waste of time.

"I'll be back later Tobi un." Curiously Tobi didn't respond as Deidara grabbed his cloak off the end of his high bed and half-heartedly threw it over his shoulders. A walk may or may not clear his head, but Deidara certainly didn't want to be sleeping near Tobi when he was acting that creepy.

'Finally, a peaceful second to myself…' Itachi let one leg dangle against the truck of the tree, the wide branch he sat on creaked slightly with every movement he made. Training with Konan was always good; she was the only one who took steady pride in her movements, like Itachi. If he sparred with anyone else he knew it would be a mess of lumbering moves and would be over quickly, leaving him unchallenged. From here the entrance to the base looked like any old rock in the ground, and the sun setting behind the mound gave the landscape before Itachi a dark glow.

"What a night…" The only thing that awed Itachi about nature anymore was twilight; it was the most peaceful time of day he could witness.

Well… sunsets awed him, and still a particular blonde who had earlier broken his heart, or something to that effect. Itachi couldn't describe how he felt about the blonde now. He hated pondering over something he shouldn't care about.

"I think that's enough alone time for now." Itachi moved to jump down from the high branch, hand stopping on the rough trunk. Before sliding, he saw the afore-named blonde walking around the field below him, and hurriedly crouched back into the tree. With narrowed eyes Itachi watched Deidara hug his Akatsuki cloak closer around his shoulders as he walked towards Itachi's tree. The Uchiha quietly crawled one branch higher when the bomber plunked himself against the tree trunk.

"It's so nice out un…" Deidara rested his head against the tree and stared with half-closed eyes at the grass between him and the base. Itachi watched the blonde draw his knees to his chest. Part of Itachi wanted to be angry at him, but he knew from what Sasori had told him earlier that it wasn't the blonde's fault. And Sasori wouldn't be touching Deidara again anyways…

"Un…" Deidara began drifting off on the ground below, his head lolling to one side slowly. Itachi allowed himself to grin a little and looked around at the darkening skyline. 'It would be time to get inside now.' He thought, turning once more to stare at Deidara. 'Should I wake him? Should I leave him…?'

It didn't take Deidara long to drift into a hazy dream…

Face to face with Itachi, Deidara stood paralyzed. He could only stand staring at the raven while he walked towards him.

"I-Itachi, I'm sorry un!" Itachi didn't say a word, only continued forwards until they were inches apart. There wasn't a pause between him reaching him and grabbing him around the waist. Deidara gasped as Itachi pulled him against his chest tightly.

"Please forgive me…" Deidara whispered against the pale lips before they were on his own. The blonde closed his eyes and moaned longingly into the kiss. He could feel Itachi's warmth and couldn't get enough of it. Sucking on the hot tongue in his mouth Deidara wrapped his arms around Itachi's neck and pulled even closer. It was almost like he couldn't breathe, this was all he wanted.

Breaking the kiss, Itachi rested his forehead against Deidara's and licked his lips.

"Se…ai!" Deidara heard a faint voice, couldn't bring himself to care.

"Itachi, please stay with me un." Still Itachi made no noise, just stared into blue eyes and smiled.

"Sem…ai!" He felt something brush his shoulder and felt the dream slipping away.

"That better not be who I think it is un…"

"SEMPAI! IT'S RAINING!"

"TOBI SHUT THE FUCK UP UN!" Deidara didn't even open his eyes before he swung out and smacked a very wet Tobi in the masked face.

"Sempai you're going to catch a cold! Tobi was just looking for Sempai, but Sempai came outside. YOU'RE GOING TO GET COOOOOLD!" Tobi sounded desperate, and was barely making any sense. The bomber nin shook his head and frowned when heavy damp blonde locks stuck to his face and neck.

"Alright un, let's go inside." 'How long was I asleep…

"Run run run run run!" Tobi instantly took off in the direction of the base, leaving a soaking Deidara to lumber after him. He sloshed through the forming mud and cringed when he saw how drenched he'd become. 'So much for showering un…'

Hehe, Itachi dreams…

R&R for more pairings. I could even stick a little Pein/Konan for some Het action… oh the possibilities…
