Thanks to everyone who reviewed! So, I had a lot of people say they sensed a lemon coming. Um... well... no sorry. This story is actually lemon-less. It's just how we wrote it.

Oh, the song lyrics used in this are from Killswtich Engage "The Arms of Sorrow"


Gaara was on the roof, sitting on the railing as he stared up at the sky. Deidara made his way to the roof and saw Gaara. He slowly made his way over to the redhead. "Hey..."

Gaara didn't look at Deidara. "Hello."

He leaned his back against the railing and stared up at the sky. "Gaara... Could you... Would you... do something for me?"

Gaara looked at him. "What?"

"Would you..." He blushed and looked down at the ground. "Sing for me?"

"..."

Deidara bit his lip and closed his eyes tightly. Maybe he shouldn't have asked. "Naruto... told me... you're a great singer and... I want to hear... Please? Could you?"

"Eh, sure." Gaara scratched the back of his head. "I'm going to murder Naruto..." He mumbled.

Deidara looked at him and grinned. "Really?" He faced him and clapped his hands. "Yay!"

Gaara chuckled softly. "I'm not sure what song to sing though."

Deidara shrugged. "Anything."

"Alright." Gaara looked at the sky. Deidara leaned back against the railing and watched Gaara closely. "Imprisoned inside this mind. Hiding behind the empty smiles. So simple, the anguish, as it mocks me. Crawling back into the dark. Running, always running, into the distance..." He singed beautifully. Deidara's eyes widened in awe. He blinked in surprise. "Stop me before I bleed, again. The echoes of my voice...follow me down. The shadows I cast...follow me down." Deidara held back a fangirl like squeal before he suddenly jumped and hugged Gaara. Gaara blinked, looking at him.

"That's amazing!"

"...I'm sure." Deidara giggled and pulled back blushing. Gaara patted his head lightly, looking back up at the sky. "Anything else?"

Deidara bit his lip. "Well... not really but I just... want you to know... I do really like you. Rather you want to believe it or not..." He looked away to the ground, slightly depressed.

"I know you do."

He blinked confused. "Then... why do you... want me to 'prove' it to you? cuz I honestly don't know how..."

"You don't have to anymore." The redhead shrugged.

He blinked, even more confused. "W-what?" Gaara looked at him, repeating what he said. The blonde sighed. "Why?"

"Because I said so."

He narrows his eyes in annoyance. "Well that's a great fucking reason."

"I know."

He growled in the back of his throat. "You're so confusing..."

"Am I?"

He pouted. "It's annoying..."

"Is it?" Deidara nodded, sighing. "I'll stop it then."

He tilted his head. "Is that even possible for you? Isn't it like... part of your personality?"

"Don't worry, I can stop it." Gaara smiled.

He shook his head. "You're so weird..." He sighed. "But..." He smiled. "It's that difference that I like about you."

Gaara turned to Deidara, sticking his tongue out at him. The blonde's eyes landed on the tongue before he looked away blushing. Gaara poked his forehead. "Perv."

He pouted. "You have a sexy tongue. Doesn't make em a perv."

"Want me to show you what this sexy tongue can do?"

He blinked surprised. "Not when it wouldn't mean anything."

"It would."

Deidara tilted his head confused. "Not to you."

"Are you sure about that?" He smiled.

"I don't know. But I know I don't like being messed with."

"I know." Gaara hopped off the rail and moved to the door.

Deidara followed after him. "Then would you stop fucking with my head?"

"I'm not doing anything." He opened the door.

He rolled his eyes. "Of course you're not."

"Its how I am, I apologize."

He blinked. "Don't... Apologize for... being you..."

"And why not?"

"Well... cuz... it's you and... I... you can't and/or shouldn't change who you are nor apologize for being yourself... I... I like you the way you are."

"And yet it's annoying one way or another."

The blonde groaned. "Ahhhh... true. But I can live with it."

"Can you?"

He nodded. "Yes."

Gaara started walking downstairs. "Good for you, ne?"

He followed him. "I suppose."

"Are you going home or going back to Naruto's?"

"I should probably go back to the mall and find my brother... he wouldn't leave without me..." He pulled out his cell phone, seeing he had missed about 3 calls from his brother. "I'm sure I've worried him..."

"Want me to walk you back?"

"It's up to you."

"I'm sure I'll walk you back"

He blushed. "Um, ok."

Gaara continued to walk downstairs, humming lightly. Deidara followed behind him, keeping his distance. Gaara walked out the building while texting Naruto that he was not going back and walking Deidara to the mall. Deidara texted his brother telling him he would meet him at the fountain. He really didn't want to call his brother and hear him rant at him about suddenly leaving.

Gaara took Deidara's hand and tugged it lightly. "Let's get going."

Deidara blushed and walked beside him. "Ok."

Gaara started to walk to the mall, holding Deidara's wrist. Deidara's heart skipped. He tried to calm his body down, but that was hard when Gaara was touching him. Gaara swung his hand lightly, making Deidara's arm swing as well. Deidara giggled softly making Gaara glance at him.

Deidara stared up at the sky, smiling softly. He liked this. He liked having Gaara hold his hand. He liked how peaceful and comfortable he felt. Gaara looked away from the blonde as his stomach clenched again. He didn't know what that feeling was and he didn't think it was good.

Deidara was beginning to believe that it might be possible that Gaara liked him too. But he didn't want to get his hopes up to high. Then again... it was really hard not to when Gaara kept keeping hold of his hand.

Gaara walked into the mall. "Where are you two meeting?"

"The water fountain in the middle." Gaara moved to the water fountain, Deidara following beside him. Gaara continued to swing his hand, looking around for Deidara's brother.

Deidara blushed when he spotted his brother sitting on the edge of the fountain looking around. He suddenly felt guilty for leaving his brother alone. Sora noticed him and jumped up, running over to them. "DeiDei!" He hugged Deidara. "Don't ever disappear like that again!" Gaara let Deidara's wrist go, watching them.

Deidara blushed and hugged his brother back. "I'm sorry..."

Sora pulled back at arms length. "You scared me! I thought someone kidnapped you!"

Deidara glanced at Gaara. "If anyone was going to get kidnapped it would be you Sora."

The brunette pouted and then noticed Gaara. He let go of Deidara and turned to the redhead. "Oh hello. Who are you?"

"Gaara."

Sora blinked before his eyes widen in realization. "G-Gaara?" His face breaks out into a grin. "So you're the one that kidnapped my DeiDei."

"Of course." The redhead smiled at him.

Sora laughed softly. "And what did you do to him?" Sora wrapped an arm around Dei's shoulder's bringing him closer. "You didn't rape him did you?"

"Did I?"

Sora blinked. "Did you?"

Deidara blushed and pushed his brother away. "Sora, stop asking him weird questions."

Gaara laughed softly, poking Deidara's forehead. "Now, now. No need to be shy."

Deidara blushed and swatted Gaara's hand. "I'm not being shy. We went to go see Naruto." Sora blinked before nodding.

"And then we had some time alone in his room." Gaara pecked his cheek. "You really don't have to hide it."

Deidara blushed, looking to the ground. Sora glanced between them, confused. "DeiDei?" Deidara just shook his head.

Gaara chuckled, licking Deidara's cheek slowly before turning and starting to walk off. "See ya, DeiDei."

Sora waved slightly at Gaara before turning to his red brother. "Deidara?"

The blonde just shook his head and turned around. "Let's just go home."

Gaara hummed lightly as he stuffed his hands into his pocket and headed home.


Deidara grumbled to himself as he stalked down the hallway. He was not a happy blonde this morning. And it was one certain redhead's fault.

Gaara was walking through the halls boredly, headphones on his ears as he walked to his locker which most people were surprised he used. Deidara made his way toward Gaara's locker. He adjusted his bag over his shoulder and rubbed his nose.

Gaara looked up, blinking at Deidara before stopping in front of him. He took off his headphones and smiles. "Good morning, sunshine."

Deidara narrowed his eyes at him. "Yea. yea."

"You look so adorable when you're grumpy."

He stuck out his tongue at him. "Because of you, my brother attacked me with questions. and forced the sex talk on me." Gaara laughed at him causing the blonde to glare at him. "It's not funny. Sora trying to give the sex talk is just..." He shuddered at the thought.

"My brother once tried to give me the sex talk."

"Then you understand. But Sora had to start telling stories about him and his boyfriend and..." He trailed off. "It's your fault I had to suffer through that."

Gaara chuckled. "I ended up giving my brother a nose bleed." He smiled innocently.

Deidara grimaced before moving past Gaara. "Sora doesn't like you."

"I'm not surprised." The redhead shrugged.

"He thinks you're playing with me."

"I'm not."

"Yea well, he made sense."

"Did he now?" Gaara leaned back against the locker.

He nodded. "Sometimes I think you're playing with me too."

"Its how I am."

"You play with people?"

"I do."

"Of course. but playing with me could result badly."

"How so?"

Deidara shrugged. "Just a warning."

"For?"

He shook his head. "Never mind."

"Tell me."

"It could break me." The blonde shrugged.

"Break you?"

"Yup."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Emotionally"

"Ah, I see."

"Fair warning."

"Yep."

Deidara sighed and started walking to his locker. Gaara took a book out of his locker before ACTUALLY going to class... On time...

Deidara got his books from his locker before going to class and noticing that Gaara is already there. He was surprised but didn't say anything and just goes to his seat. Gaara rocked back and forth in his seat as he read his book, headphones over his ears as he did so. Deidara took out his notebook and pen and started writing as the teacher began teaching.

During the middle of class, Gaara stood up and without saying a word to the teacher, walked out of class. Deidara's eyes followed Gaara as he left the room. Gaara walked to his locker. He wasn't planning on going back to class. He never stayed longer than 25 minutes.

Deidara watched the door for a moment before sighing and going back to taking notes. Atleast, Gaara stayed for half the class. It was better then nothing. He flipped to a new page in his notebook before planning on what he was going to get for Gaara.
