Deidara tugged on his basketball shorts and yellow T-shirt, sliding on his shoes and socks as well. "I'm ready, un!" he chirped happily just as Konan skid down the hall with burnt toast hanging from her teeth.
"Alrighty then," Konan said, gobbling down the toast and walking out the front door, Deidara following right behind her.
"My date with Pein late night was SO romantic!" Konan squealed. "I'm gonna tell you all about it on the way to school, Ohmigod!" The two best friends laughed as they walked down the road to school.
Deidara shut his locker and walked into his homeroom class, humming softly to himself. He swayed happily over to his group of friends in the back of the classroom, sitting on the cold, tiled ground. They were in the middle of, apparently, a very intense conversation.
"I just don't believe you," Tyler sighed, shaking his head.
"Then go ask him yourself!" Yuna said, obviously annoyed.
"Everyone's talking about it, it's gotta be true," Shun mumbled. Deidara raised a brow.
"Did I miss something, un?" Deidara asked.
All heads turned towards the blonde and a grin spread over Shun's face. "Guess what, Dei?"
"Un?" Deidara wondered.
"Apparently Akasuna isn't that into you after all! Good for you, eh?" Shun said.
"Wh-What, un?"
"According to the rumor that everyone's talking about, Sasori's been going out with a girl named Midori for almost a month now," Yuna explained.
"S-So what, un?"
"Are you kidding me, Dei? Sasori's longest relationship was 8 days ACCIDENTALLY because he forgot he was even going out with the girl," Tina said.
"So . . . you guys think Sasori's o-over me, un?" Deidara asked.
"Yup, probably! Great for you, isn't it?" Tyler said, grinning. Deidara didn't answer as he tried to swallow down the lump in his throat. He felt like crying, but why? Sasori had never done anything pleasant at all to him, so why? Why was he feeling this way?
Utterly confused, Deidara groaned as the homeroom bell rang and he retreated to his assigned seat.
The rumor must've been true.
Not only at the fact that everyone was talking about it, but the way Sasori acted was completely different, too. He didn't tease the blonde or even glance at him when he walked by the red head throughout the whole day.
'So weird, un,' Deidara thought, packing up his bag at the end of the day. Slinging the backpack over his shoulder, he pushed open the locker room doors to walk out. Deidara wobbled down the halls until he saw the last thing he wanted to see.
There, backed into a corner, was Sasori and Midori, sucking each other's faces in a complete make-out session. Their tongues intertwined, their arms and legs all over each other's body. It made Deidara sick.
The blonde shivered violently and walked away, through the glass doors and out of the school.
With less confidence than ever before, Deidara walked down the halls of his high school. He neatly slipped his science book in between the rest of his books and binders, shutting the locker and started walking towards the cafeteria.
Once he was in the lunch room, he sighed deeply. This was the room where Sasori had first tried to get the blonde. The memories made Deidara grimace to himself, standing in the lunch line.
Once he got his food and paid, he sat in his usual seat next to Konan, who was currently too busy jabbering away with Rina to notice that Deidara was even there.
"Ah! Dei! Jeez, I didn't know you were there!" Konan said, laughing at her best friend.
"Un," Deidara mumbled, nibbling on his pizza. Just then, Midori walked by, holding tightly onto Sasori's hand.
"I have to sit down here," Midori giggled, placing her tray down at the table next to Deidara's. Sasori made a pouting sound.
"Why don't you sit with me?" he cooed, kissing her cheek. She giggled again.
"Nooooo, not this time, 'Sori-chan," Midori spoke sweetly, batting her eyelashes much more than needed. The red head pecked her neck quickly before letting go of her hand, walking back to his table with a grin spread on his face.
Deidara felt like the life had just been sucked out of him by watching that scene. He rested his forehead in his hand, breathing in and out slowly. This couldn't be happening. Hadn't Sasori been the one that said he would chase Deidara forever till he caved in?
i"I've been chasing after you non-stop since the first day of school and you think all I would do is toss you out shortly after catching you?"/i
Deidara remembered Sasori saying those words so seductively in his ear; it made the blonde blush and whimper softly.
"Dei? What's wrong?" Konan asked, placing a warm hand on his back.
"N-Nothing, un," Deidara mumbled quietly. The blonde dared himself to look over at Sasori's table, and he did. The baby blue eyes peeked over at the chattering table of boys, only for all of them to be already staring at him. Right when Deidara looked at them, their eyes went wide with amusement and they all started laughing and telling Sasori things. The red head just smirked deviously at Deidara, the smirk creeping into a grin.
'I don't get it, un. I thought he gave up on me,' Deidara thought.
He tried his best to hear what they were all telling Sasori, though he couldn't hear anything until he heard Hidan said quite loudly, "Sasori, it's working!"
"I don't get it, un," Deidara whispered.
"Hmm?" Konan wondered.
"I'm so confused, un," Deidara said, still hearing the faint laughing and chattering of the Akasuna's table in the background of his thoughts.
"Konan, un," Deidara mumbled, stumbling into their shared bedroom. The girl looked up from her book, smiling at her best friend, which soon turned into a frown.
Deidara's hair was a mess and he had bags under eyes that were so dark they were almost black. It looked like he hadn't slept for days and his clothes were wrinkled, eyes a crazy dark blue, much different from the usual soft baby blue.
"D-Deidara, c'mere," Konan mumbled, holding her arms out wide. Her face was horror struck and she couldn't stand looking at her best friend like that.
The blonde merely wobbled to the bed, lazily getting on the mattress and into Konan's arms which quickly wrapped around him. "Are you okay? What's gotten into you lately?" Konan said, shooting Deidara with several hard-to-answer questions.
"Sasori, un," was all Deidara could whisper, a tear sliding down his cheek. Konan looked down at the boy in her arms, completely shocked.
"Wh-What? What did Sasori do to you, Deidara?" Konan panicked, tilting Dei's chin up. Deidara shook his head slowly, smiling softly.
"Sasori . . . wouldn't do anything to me, he has Midori, un," Deidara whispered. Konan continued to stare wide eyed at her best friend.
"Yeah . . . I thought Sasori was over you," Konan mumbled. That's when Deidara snapped up and grabbed his head, shaking it back and forth. "D-Deidara?"
"That's the point, un!" Deidara yelled, bending over in a heap. "He has her, he doesn't need me or want me anymore, un! Even though he said that he'd never give up on me . . . ever, un," Deidara continued, trailing off to a whisper. Konan gasped.
"You love him, don't you, Deidara?" Konan whispered softly, a gentle smile moving its way on her lips. Deidara had tears streaming down his face, stopping to sniffle lightly before nodding his head up and down slowly.
"I love him . . . and I don't want to, un . . . I love him . . . and I don't know why . . . I love him, un . . . and it's killing me," Deidara breathed and gasped out, rubbing his eyes roughly. All Konan did was smile warmly at the curled up blonde, arms wrapped lovingly around his head as he continued to cry.
"You think you can go to school without crying your eyes out every time you see him?" Konan asked Deidara the next morning, chuckling.
"Yes, un! I don't care what Sasori does!" Deidara grumbled, crossing his arms over his chest in a pout. Konan giggled at him.
"But you looooo~ve him!" Konan teased.
"Not really, un!" Deidara blushed.
"Yeah you doooooo~!" Konan hissed, in a fit of giggles.
"Uuuunnn," Deidara moaned, walking out of their apartment with a deep blush on his cheeks, a laughing Konan behind him.
"C'mon, get up, Sasori," Itachi grumbled, nudging the red head in the ribs. Sasori groaned and rolled over on his other side, stuffing a pillow over his head. Itachi rolled his eyes.
"Fuckin' Jashin! Get up, you pussy!" Hidan yelled, jumping on top of Sasori.
"I don't think Sasori appreciates that, Hidan," Kakuzu said, sighing heavily. Hidan growled.
"Good! Maybe he'll actually get the hell up!" Hidan roared, jumping up and down on the bed before flopping straight down on Sasori.
"Ow, that's gotta hurt," Itachi said, hearing Sasori groan.
"I don't wanna fucking get up and have to be all lovey dovey around that whore," Sasori groaned.
"Hey, you chose Midori," Itachi said, smirking.
"By random! I'm only using her," Sasori grumbled.
"To get to Dei-chan," Hidan grinned. Sasori smirked.
"Yeah, I'll get up now, 'cus Dei-chan's soooooo fucking worth it," Sasori sighed, smirking.
"The faster you get up and get ready, the faster you can hear Deidara's cute little voice," Itachi taunted, exiting the room smirking.
"And stare at his sexy body," Hidan added, licking his lips.
Sasori groaned lustfully. "Jeez, guys, don't make me cum in my pants right now or I'll probably fuck Dei-chan the moment I see him," Sasori moaned, groping and squeezing his erection through his pants.
