"Danna." Deidara's mutters of embarrassment were soft as the redhead carried him into the base piggy back style.

Recently Deidara had been pushing himself beyond his limits when training. He wanted Sasori to see the effort he was putting in to try and become a better hand to hand combat fighter. However that push had resulted in his body completely shutting down in a sparring match with Sasori. He was lucky Sasori had been able to stop his stomach cable before it pierced the fallen blonde. The blonde's body was sore and exhausted and even worse Sasori was now angry at him.

Well Sasori hadn't exactly voiced if he was or wasn't yet but the blonde could tell that he was.

Sasori yanked off Deidara's thick and heavy robe, then deposited the blonde on his bed. Deidara's muscles immediately relaxed into the mattress finally getting the rest they deserved. His joints ached painfully and it seemed each throb of his heart caused pain to go throughout his entire body.

Sasori had left and the blonde sighed although he knew he should be thankful he'd gotten that much. He closed his eyes to sleep a bit, maybe that would help.

"Brat." Deidara was startled when he heard his name being said and looked up to see Sasori standing above him.

"Danna." Deidara said quickly immediately trying to sit up only to have the redhead assist him. His eyes widened as Sasori pulled him up to a sitting position and placed pillows behind his back to give him some support.

Since when had the redhead decided to be so nice?

He was handed two pills by the redhead which he took dry, a bit of a bad decision since they were extremely bitter and made him scrunch up his face with disgust as he tasted them going down. Sasori handed him a cup of water which he drank eagerly. He whimpered when the glass was finished for his body craved more.

"You've been working yourself too hard Deidara." Sasori scolded and the blonde sunk into his pillows. "You've been skipping meals in order to train and frankly you're scaring the shit out of me."

He was scaring Sasori? The blonde looked up confused as Sasori yanked up his shirt revealing the blonde's stomach.

There were taught muscles from his workouts however he noticed something that freaked him out. He could see the outline of his ribs through his skin, they weren't disgustingly jutting out but you could definitely see them.

"If you kept going with what you were doing there's no doubt you would've died." Deidara swallowed and his stomach let out a growl. A sandwich was placed in his hands. "Now eat that slowly while I try and help you with your muscles." Deidara took a bite of the sandwich only to want to spit it back out.

Now he saw why Sasori wanted him to eat it slowly, his body wasn't used to eating.

However after a few bites a sensation started in his back that made the blonde moan and lean backwards.

"Keep eating." Sasori's voice instructed and Deidara kept eating. Sasori was rubbing his back with lotion. The redhead had the blonde in his lap and the blonde's shirt pulled up.

Immediately all his sore joints and muscles relaxed and he leaned into the touch earning an approving grunt from Sasori.

"Danna that feels so good un."

"Orochimaru used to do it for me before I became a puppet." Sasori whispered in Deidara's ear making the bomber tingle with excitement.

"Un." he said with a deep sigh of relaxation. Soon the rubs began to work on his shoulder going straight to the elbows. "Ah un." he whimpered as Sasori began rubbing harder.

"It'll feel good later." Sasori promised and Deidara trusted him. Soon he went from the elbows to his hands, however he rubbed the lotion off on his pants and instead covered his hands in plain water. Deidara looked confused until the puppet master began rubbing his hands.

The dry and overworked clay mouths immediately began lapping at the moisture and the deep cracking that had formed on the lips of the hand mouths began to bleed and turn the water a light pink, however they were being cleaned from clay and other debris.

Deidara whimpered a little when Sasori's hands went to his chest and his discomfort showed.

"Easy brat." Sasori warned as he pulled his hands away to put on more lotion. Deidara nodded and allowed the redhead to continue, however when the redhead's delicate fingers brushed a spot on his ribs he squeaked. "You hurt yourself?" Sasori asked crossly as he brushed the spot again.

This time however Deidara giggled. "Danna don't!" Deidara said with a giggle.

Sasori stared then smirked. "Oh you mean don't do this?" His fingers began to gently scratch the blonde's side causing the blonde to burst out in laughter.

"Danna stop that tickles!" Deidara yelled lying back on the bed. Sasori sat on his hips and tickled more causing the blonde to start crying. "Danna can't breathe un!"

Then the redhead's lips were pressed against the blonde's. Deidara's eyes widened and he groaned. Their tongues lightly tapped and Deidara saw a streak of white shoot across his vision.

Of course the blonde had no oxygen in his lungs which easily could've been the problem, but the redhead was kissing him!

Actually kissing him!

When they pulled apart Deidara saw something in the chocolate eyes he'd honestly never seen before or even thought could exist. He always thought they were fake like the rest of his body.

"You worried me Dei." The redhead muttered as he cradled the blonde close.

"I'm sorry un." Deidara whispered as the redhead maneuvered himself under the blonde. Deidara sprawled out on top of the redhead allowing the tense muscles to relax and become comfortable. "So we'll be back to training tomorrow?" asked the blonde sleepily. Sasori pulled the blanket up on the blonde's bed and hugged him.

"Nope."

"No un?"

"You're going to need a few more days to heal."

"Why un I feel fine."

"Now you do, but tomorrow morning you're going to be sore as hell." Deidara stared only to be pounced by the redhead. They locked into a kiss once more with their eyes filled with lust.

Deidara smiled, that soreness would definitely be worth it.
