BEFORE THOUGHTS: Hon, if it bothered me to write whatever you request, I wouldn't have asked y'all to ask for them. It's no problem! *hugs*

Anywho, I'm pretty excited to write this. I got my ducks in a row for this.


"I thought you said it wouldn't take long to find." Madison remarked, brown eyes darting from tree to tree limb, grass to tiny inches worms on the leafs. Deidara looked to Mattie, snorting a bit. "We'd be there already if you wouldn't get distracted by every that moves." The blond let out a laugh, smiling as she playfully slapped the bomber's arm.

Deidara watched her smile slowly slip away as she spotted a bird feather on the ground. He rolled his blue hues, simply continuing through the trees as Madison stopped and picked up the feather. From the corner of his eye, he watched her brush the grey feather with her fingers before reaching up, placing it behind his ear.

She paused and began laughing. "You look even more feminine now!"

Deidara scowled, swatting the feather out from behind his ear. "Do you want me to take you to the lake or do you want to turn back right now, yeah?"

"To the lake."

Deidara continued his stride, silently. Mattie pouted, but didn't break the silence. She could feel the aura of annoyance around the blond. She swallowed her pride, and looked to the blond. "I'm sorry, Dei."

He turned his head at the sound of the apology. He shrugged, wrapping an arm around her middle and tugging the blond to his side. "S'okay, un." Madison let out a small sigh of relief, but still wiggled out of Deidara's grasp, uncomfortable by how close he was. The blond was comfortable with walking side by side, exchanging a look from the corner of each other's eyes or brush of the hands.

Within minutes, Deidara brought Madison to the lake he had found the night before. He let a cocky grin spread over his lips, flipping a stray hair out of face as he looked to his girlfriend. "What do you think?"

His grin faltered when he realized Mattie wasn't by his side, but had chased after ladybug. Deidara slouched, smiling at his girlfriend's antics. The blond returned to him with a pout, the insect having flown higher than she could jump. "All that running for nothing." She muttered.

"At least an insect doesn't get more attention than you, yeah." The blond teased.

Mattie smirked. "You're just mad you can't catch ladybugs with me because your hands would eat them." The teen raised an eyebrow, mischief danced in his blue eyes. Without a word of reply, he slung Mattie over his shoulder.

"Deidara put me down!" She protested, slamming a fist on his back and kicking her feet. Madison let out a huff, hanging limp over his shoulder. "You're going to pay for this. I'll cut off your hair and then burn the strands. I'll yank out every tooth on your freakin' body and then pull out each nails you have. I'll castrate you and then cut off your tongue so you can't scream. I'll duct tape headphones to your hairless head and blast Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black while torturing you. Are you even listening to-Deidara, you better not do what I think you're gonna do." She could hear the sound of Deidara's change from a steady thud to a wet squish. Her eyes were narrowed.

"What do you think I'm going to do, un?" He asked, innocently, not affected by Mattie's torture rant. He moved into the lake water, walking till the water reached his knees.

Mattie could see the water a foot or two below her face. "Deidara, I swear to all that is holy if you-" She pulled off Deidara's shoulder and submerged under the water. Deidara was holding back his laughter, amused by the way the woman flailed before slipping under the water.

The blond stood, spitting out the water that had filled her mouth. Pushing aside her wet tresses, she grinned devilishly. "You're dead." Thus the splashing war began, graphic and detailed threats coming from Mattie and cocky curses from Deidara.

The couple was covered in muck and fresh water weeds, smelling like mud, dirty water, and fish pee. Mattie flung a handful of mud at the advancing Deidara, who easily ducked. A smirk covered Deidara's lips as Mattie moved her eyes from him for moment in search of another projectile. Her distraction lasted just long enough to place his lips on hers. He held his lips on hers long enough to make it a kiss, not just a brush of the lips, and then ducked under the water.

She flushed, "H-hey! Get back here! That's not fair!" Mattie slouched, a smile crossing her lips at the familiar taste of the bomber lips.


AFTER THOUGHTS: I have no clue why it's so hard for me to write about Mattie and Deidara as a couple. It makes me feel so weird, despite how cute of a couple they make. It'd be so easy if I hadn't portrayed Mattie has one of my best friend's.

Anywho, I hoped you enjoyed reading it. It may not be as good as some of my other writing, since I don't write about Deidara and Mattie as a couple often, but I had fun writing it.

Happy New Years to everyone. If you could make it through this year, which was full of Gangnam style, Honey Boo Boo, school shootings, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, Hurricane Sandy, celebrity relationship screw ups, and my stories, you can make it through anything. Stay strong my lovelies! 3

Yours Truly,
