Sasori yawned widely as he opened the door to his room. It had been a long day at work, what with three cases to deal with. He'd had to travel back and forth between them all day. It just made things worse for him to know exactly who the culprit was behind it all.

'Damn that Sasuke.' Sasori thought as he took off his coat and hung it over the back of a nearby chair. He went to his window and looked out at the moon in the sky. It was the night of the full moon.

Seeing the moon brought back something Gaara had said earlier that day.

"It's almost like whatever's killing them isn't even human …" He had said. That had been all he'd said all day. Sasori was getting worried. The werewolves just could NOT be found out. They'd be killed!

It would be a good thing for Sasuke to be killed, but not for Deidara, or even Pein, whom Sasori barely knew. The redhead sighed quietly and took a step towards his bed. He stopped when his phone started ringing.

"That had better not be someone from the station." He muttered before pulling the phone out of his pocket and flipping it open without bothering to look at the ID. "Hello?" He said.

"Hey, Sasori."

Sasori blinked in surprise and turned to look out the window again at the moon. "Is something wrong, Deidara?" He asked. The blond hadn't talked to him in a while.

"No, not really, un." Deidara replied. Sasori had started pacing around the fairly dark room without even realizing it. There was a silence between them for a few minutes before Deidara spoke again.

"Hey, Sasori?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you want to come for a walk with me?"

The question caught Sasori by surprise. Was Deidara asking to spend time with him? He wouldn't decline the offer, but it just struck him as odd.

"… In the forest infested with werewolves behind your house?" He asked, wondering where they would go walking.

"No." Deidara replied with a small laugh. "Up at the park North of where I live. At the trails, un. You know, hiking?"

Oh.

"Sure. I'll go." Sasori said. He did a double take a moment later. 'Wait, what? But I'm exhausted! I'll probably pass out …' But he couldn't deny the fact that he didn't feel tired anymore.

"Cool, un. Come pick me up?"

"Okay." Sasori said and walked across the room, grabbing a sweater that was hanging by the door. After all, it was approaching winter and the nights were getting colder. "I'll be by in a bit to pick you up."

"Alright." Deidara said.

"See you soon." Sasori hung up, put on the sweater he'd grabbed, and then left the building.

Thirty-five minutes later found the two of them in Sasori's car, on the road Northwards. There was silence between them as Sasori drove, eyes focused on the road though his mind wasn't.

Deidara seemed to be in an equal state. Sasori glanced sideways at him and decided to break the silence. "So, how've you been?"

"Hn? Oh, good." He replied. "I guess."

"You guess?" Sasori questioned without looking at him. "Did something happen?"

"Nothing important, un."

Sasori nodded though he wasn't convinced. The rest of the drive was spent in silence. By the time they got to their destination, Deidara had fallen asleep against the window. Sasori pulled the car to a stop and looked at his friend.

He couldn't help but smile at him. 'God, he's so adorable sometimes.' He thought. It didn't even occur to him exactly what he'd thought as he reached over and placed his hand on the blond's shoulder, shaking him gently.

"Deidara," He said gently. "Wake up. We're here."

"Unnnnnnn?" Deidara murmured and opened his eyes, looking at him. He yawned a bit and nodded. He proceeded to get out of the car. Sasori followed suite and the two of them stood staring at the trail heading into the forest ahead of them.

"Ready, un?" Deidara asked.

"Yeah." Sasori replied and took a step forward. Deidara came to his side and they both walked off. A comfortable silence surrounded them. Sasori didn't really mind the quietness. He hadn't felt so peaceful in a long time.

He smiled.

Deidara must have seen his smile because he chuckled and spoke. "Happy, un?" He asked.

Sasori nodded and looked at him. "I haven't felt so at ease in a while." He said. Deidara smiled at him and then turned to look up at the full moon.

"It's places like this that really make you appreciate life." The blond said. Sasori nodded in agreement. It was true.

They fell silent again.

By the time they came to a bridge, it must have been an hour later, Sasori stopped to look down at the running water below. It was a calm river. As he was staring, he didn't notice Deidara's eyes on him.

"The light of the moon makes you glow in a way." The blond said. Sasori blinked and then turned his head to look at him. He was surprised at the look that was on the blond's face. It was a strange look, one Sasori had never seen before. It was almost a look of adoration. Or was it more than that?

They stared at each other for a few moments before Deidara suddenly leaned forward towards the shorter redhead. Sasori felt his face heat up against his will but he didn't pull away. A few seconds later, Deidara's lips were pressed against his.

Sasori completely froze up. Every part of him went into shock. Despite the shock, a moment later he kissed back, closing his eyes. Deidara wrapped his arms around Sasori's neck and pulled away after a few seconds, pressing his forehead against Sasori's. His eyes were closed and his breathing was faster than usual. Sasori stared at him and then wrapped his arms around him in a hug.

"Is this why you wanted me to come on a walk with you?"

"Well, no … I was actually-"

"Well isn't this lovely."

The both of them turned around the moment they heard the words. Deidara growled.

"Sasuke." He hissed.

Sasori was immediately trying to come up with an idea on what to do. Sasuke was lethal and neither of them were armed. Deidara looked ready to fight him to the death. The redhead looked at Sasuke and then at Deidara, then back at Sasuke. He'd never seen him before in his human form.

"Prepare to die."
