HOLA :D Sorry for the delay, but I have no internet and so I can't upload ;; ANYWAY...enjoy!


Immediately, Deidara put his own fear and worries aside. What was important now was that he had to let Konan know that it would be alright. He helped Konan to her feet and then hugged her. Still, she did not hug back. He ran a hand through Konan's tangled blue hair and sighed.

"It's alright...I'll stick with you. I'll be here for you and the baby," Deidara whispered, meaning every word.

"No."

"What?" Deidara said, confused. "No?"

"No!" Konan yelled, pushing him away. He stumbled back, bumping into the sink. Three of the five earrings resting on it fell into the drain with a clink.

"Konan, what's wrong with you?" Deidara said before he could stop himself.

Konan glared at him. "I've...I've seen the way...you l-look at Hidan...! At first I didn't...didn't really think much of it. But then you'd s-spend the entire...fucking c-class period staring at him like he was some sort of m-model!" she screamed, tears running down her face. "S-So don t fucking ask what's...wrong with m-me! What's wrong with y-you?" her tears had stopped now, not on their own, Deidara could see. It was obvious she was holding them back, her choked voice said it all.

Deidara felt like he had swallowed an ice cube. He could do nothing except stare at Konan, who was angry and confused, gripping the pregnancy test in her tightly clenched fist, her chest heaving.

She knew. She knew that, every day, Deidara would constantly battle with himself in order to keep himself focused on the teacher and not the Jashinist who sat at the far end of the room. He did not know it, but now that Konan voiced it aloud...it was confirmed. He had a crush on Hidan. He had a crush on a guy! A fucking guy! He felt his stomach tighten into a knot and his legs felt like rubber.

"I...I don't know..." was all he could say. He lowered his gaze, unable to meet her accusatory stare.

"Well...I do," she said softly.

Deidara looked up. What did she know?

"I know that I c-can't be with you if you're...like that. I know that I'd r-rather be a single m-mom-"

"Konan! Do you know what the hell you're saying? You are going to need emotional and financial support if you're going to have this baby! Any other son of a bitch would've said 'Good luck, see ya!' and walked out. But I'm staying...for you and the baby, Konan! This thing with Hidan doesn't have to be a problem or even something to think about," Deidara said loudly, trying to get her to understand.

But Konan shook her head. A bobby pin came loose and flew across the room, landing in a far corner with a little ping. "I was g-going to do this...even b-before I knew I was pregnant, Deidara..."

"Okay...okay...it's your decision. C-Can I still see the baby from time to time?" Deidara asked, almost pleaded. He blinked back tears and tried to ignore the lump in his throat.

Konan avoided his gaze, glaring at the wall. "No."

Deidara felt his tears threatening to spill and took a deep breath. "Okay...okay. Good luck, I guess. I...I have to go back to school...the bell should be ringing any minute now..."

"Yeah," Konan said.

Deidara stepped forward. "Bye..." he said awkwardly, instinctively reaching for a hug. He caught himself and lowered his arms. He turned to leave, turned to look at her one last time, and then walked away. He opened the front door and stepped outside, closing the door behind him. He set off towards the school, wiping his eyes on his sleeve.

Konan's POV

I watched him go, hardly aware of the fact that I was standing there in yesterday's clothes, having just kicked out the best boyfriend I had ever had. I suddenly became aware that I was still clutching the pregnancy test tightly in my hand. In a fit of rage, I let out a loud, high-pitched scream and threw the pregnancy test. It bounced off the wall and landed at my feet. I blinked back tears and leaned back against the wall then slid down, down until I was sitting on the cold tile floor.

Just what the fuck was wrong with Deidara? He had admitted it. He had a crush on Hidan. Was he gay? Why was he doing this to me?

I was so confused, I had no idea what to do. What the hell are you supposed to do when you're pregnant with the child of a potentially-gay guy? You can't just say, "Oh, sure, let's stay together and possibly scar this baby for life." No! You have to decide what's the best for the baby, and for yourself. I just couldn't be with Deidara any longer. I didn't want him near my baby.

I stood up and began to strip off all of my clothes. I got the shower ready and got inside, almost sighing with relief from the relaxing hot water running down my back. I grabbed the bottle of shampoo and lathered up my hair, then grabbed the sponge and squirted some body wash on it. As I was scrubbing, I began to doubt whether I had done the right thing. Deidara looked like he had really meant all that about staying and helping me with the baby. Suppose he actually meant it? Would he have been a good father to my baby? A good example?

I grabbed the razor next to the bottle of conditioner and began to shave my legs in long, swift strokes. Ha! Bullshit. The path Deidara was taking was clearly not a good one for the child. There was no way I could raise a child properly with him around.

I shaved my underarms and then rinsed my hair. After I applied the conditioner, I reached for the face cleanser. I squirted some out onto my hand and rubbed it on my face. I stood with the bottle in my hand, beads of water running down my body, steam from the shower rising rapidly, lost in thought. I could feel tears coming, and I quickly blinked them away. I did not want to cry. I would not cry for Deidara, who had deceived me for what I assumed was a long time about something so important.

I turned and rinsed my face then turned again and rinsed my hair, then my entire body. I turned off the shower and then stepped out, not caring about wetting the floor. I wrapped a towel around my head and then used another to dry my piercings then took my time in inserting all the rings that had not fallen into the drain back in their places.

I dried my body and slowly put on all my clothes, feeling strangely emotionless. I removed the towel from my hair and threw it on the floor, leaving it there. I turned off the bathroom light and left. I walked into my room and grabbed a comb and began to run it through my damp hair.

I stepped on something soft. I looked down and found that I had stepped on Deidara s favorite red sweater.

I picked it up and caught a whiff of his body spray. I sat on the edge of bed, at last giving in to the tears I had been holding back.


Yay! You guys should totally R&R :D Gracias!
