A few days had passes and it was absolute heaven, being able to go to sleep with Deidara every night, and wake up to his beautiful eyes every morning. "What would you like to do today?" I asked him when he came out of the shower. He had gotten into the habit of staying in bed until I woke up in the morning, giving me a good morning kiss, going to take a shower, then come back and then we would do something, but it had been things I wanted to, so today was going to be all about him.
"Whatever you like." He said sitting down beside me.
"No, today is all about you." I said pushing him away before he could find my lips.
I watched as he smiled a little bit. His eyes lit up, and he kissed me once. "I want to take you somewhere, but first we should go get you a winter coat." I nodded once and kissed him again. "Get dressed; I'll be in the kitchen."
Deidara left and I walked over to the dresser before pulling out a pair of black jeans, and a long sleeved red shirt. I wrapped a leather choker around my neck and combed through my hair quickly. When I walked out Deidara was sitting at the kitchen table with Sasori, Kakuzu, and Itachi. But Itachi had a bag with him, and when Sakura came in right after me, she had a bag as well, everyone did. "Are you going somewhere?" I asked.
"Itachi and I are going on a vacation thing in the springs." Sakura said with a smile.
"Kisame and I are going on a mission, as well as Kakuzu and Hidan." Sasori said.
I looked at Deidara and gave him a playful smile. "Well that changes a lot." I said the wheels turning in my head. Deidara gave a hungry smirk and a low growl.
"I love that smirk." He said as we walked out. Deidara and I would have the house to ourselves for a whole week. This was going to be fun.
When we got into town Deidara led me back to the woman's clothing outlet and stopped outside the door. His nose grazed from my lips up to my ear. "Take this and buy whatever you like." He said slipping a roll of money into my hand.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"I have a few things I need to take care of, but I'll be back in an hour." He said, and then walked away.
I turned and walked inside. There were women dressed in high class stuff and I shivered. First things first, I needed to find a winter coat. I walked over and began shifting through things, but they were all too girly. I finally found something that I would want to wear, and Deidara would love. It was a thigh length black leather coat, with gold and pink cherry blossoms sewn on the back with a high collar.
Next I went back to the more interment clothing. I had a few ideas for a present for Deidara. I found a few things, and I grabbed them. On my way to check out I found a red and black striped beanie and a matching scarf I could wear with my coat.
By the time I was done Deidara was waiting for me at the door with a wicked smile on his face. "What are you so happy about?" I asked.
"You'll see." He said kissing me. As his lips assaulted my own he slipped the bag I was carrying away from my one hand, and slipped something smaller into my other. He pulled away and I looked up at him through my eye lashes. When I opened my palm to see what he put in it, I nearly fell over.
The chain was gold, and not some cheap knock off either, this was real gold. Hanging down in the middle was one of the biggest diamond rings I had ever seen in my life. The band was sterling silver and it sparkled in the sun light. There was a 20k diamond in the middle, and it was huge, you know how big the pupil of your eye is, well it was a little bigger than that, and it was surrounded by smaller 8k diamonds, three on each side. They twinkled in the sun light, and glittered. It felt so heavy sitting in my hand.
Deidara slipped the ring off of the chain and took my left hand in his. He slowly got down on one knee, and looked up at me with a smile. "Ryu, you are my love and my life, the only thing that keeps me alive on missions, the only thing that keeps me going when you are not with me. You are my life source, my breath, the beat of my heart. I would do anything for you. My love will you marry me?" he asked.
All of his words moved together and my heart skipped a beat. The breath from my lungs was gone and I fell on my knees, right into his arms. I looked up at him and I knew that there were tears in my eyes. "Yes." I choked out. Deidara pulled me into a kiss, and I could hear the claps of the crowd that we had attracted, but all I cared about was Deidara's lips on mine.
He pulled us both up and walked up back to the house, the ring heavy on my finger, the chain wrapped around my neck.
On the way home he dropped our bag in the house but we kept walking. I wanted to ask where we were going, but I couldn't find my voice. Deidara led me way beak into the woods and stopped in front of a giant spruce tree. "Ready?" he asked. I nodded and he pulled away a few branches and ushered me through. When we walked through on the other side my breath was gone again. The valley was covered in snow, completely surrounded by mountains all around, they were covered in snow, but there were places where there was no snow and the almost obsidian rock showed through. There was a small lake in the middle, but it wasn't frozen at all, it was a hot spring, and the steam was rising up above the water. There was a mother and a baby deer by the water's edge, and by the clearing there was a large buck, watching over his family. He looked at us once but sensed no danger so let his family stay. There were snow covered pine trees all around the mountain's base, and we could hear the sound of larks singing a sweet song somewhere within the dark forest's depths.
"Deidara this place is amazing." I gasped. He kissed my cheek, and led me down to the edge of the water. We sat down on a small patch of grass where the steam from the water had melted the snow. We weren't sitting there long when a cold wet nose nuzzled my cheek. I moved my head from Deidara's shoulder and looked to my right. The baby deer was there, with its mother. I smiled a little and rubbed its muzzle. The baby laid down on my lap as I pet it, the mother laid in front of us, her head on Deidara's leg, the buck stood at the top watching over us.
