Silence drowned the room. Nothing moved, nobody spoke, not for a few minutes anyway. Deidara blinked.
"U-un?"
"Don't make me say it again brat" Sasori muttered.
"Un…" Silence. Sasori relieved his grip on Deidara's wrists and stood up, offering an arm to the blond so he could pull himself up. Deidara took it, a blush rising on his cheeks. Sasori prayed for something, anything, to come and disrupt their awkward silence. It could be a bird, a shout, a breeze, uanything/u that he could focus on other than those perfect blue eyes staring back at him. The blonde gently smiled.
"I-I'm going d-downstairs u-un" Deidara turned and left the room in silence once more. Sasori's head tilted sideways in thought. Wasn't this what the blonde wanted? Did he do something wrong? He'd kill himself if he did. He didn't want the blonde to leave, he truly did love him…wait. Did he? Or was it just a really close friendship? The red head noticed the blonde hadn't closed the door, and so he went to do so.
He closed it and leant his head on it, his eyes screwed shut and his arms wrapped tightly around his chest. The pain was …foreign. It felt like someone had jabbed a knife right through his heart and was slowly turning it, making no move to remove it any time soon. Sasori leant his head back on the door, staring up at Deidara's self, noticing a CD player. He'd never noticed it before, and he doubt he'd have much use for it. Curiosity killed the cat. Sort of…
Sasori turned it on randomly, and read the display. 'Insert CD' His eyebrows raised and grabbed the nearest CD, placing it in the CD player. The display changed to 'Track one – now playing'. A tune began to play, and Sasori went back to his bed, lying down on it in thought.
i
Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
Cause this hurts
deeper than I thought it did
It has not healed with time
It
just shot down my spine
You look so beautiful tonight
Reminds
me how you laid us down
And gently smiled before you destroyed my
life/i Deidara's smile appeared in his head again, just
before he left. It was a weird smile, not in weird as in … weird.
It was an angel's smile for gods sake, but…the meaning behind it,
Sasori couldn't figure it out.
iWould you find it in
your heart
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces
(let
me rest in pieces)
Would you find it in your heart
To make this
go away
And let me rest in pieces
(let me rest in
pieces)
Pieces/i Was it pity? Did the blonde pity him for
having emotions? He knew he shouldn't have told him, but…it was
merely a slip of the tongue – but… it wouldn't have been a slip
of the tongue if he hadn't been thinking about it…Emotions were
confusing. He didn't want to see the blonde for the rest of the
night, and if he had to see him, then he'd be in Hiruko… no… he
couldn't. The brat blew him up…He needed to repair him, or make a
new one.
iLook at me, my depth perception must be off
again
You got much closer than I thought you did
I'm in your
reach
You held me in your hands
Would you find it in your
heart
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces
(let me
rest in pieces)
Would you find it in your heart
To make this go
away
And let me rest in pieces
(let me rest in pieces)
Would
you find it in your heart
To make this go away
And let me rest
in pieces
Would you find it in your heart
To make this go
away
and let me rest in pieces/i Sasori was getting abit
irritated by now. How could the blonde listen to this? Most of the
words were repeated and the verses from there onwards were
practically the same! Although, the more Sasori heard them… the
more they sunk in. "Would you find it in your heart, to make this
go away, and let me rest in pieces…" He whispered, the words
sinking in, realising how close they were in saying what he felt.
Amazing how quickly you can learn the words. Sasori closed his eyes,
dreading the rest of the day. No, scrap that. The rest of his long
eternal life.
Deidara ran down the stairs once quietly walking out of their room. He ran into Konan and hugged her till she turned blue.
"What's got you so happy?" She laughed and he released her.
"Danna un! He said, exactly, and I mean exactly un! "I want you to love me back damnit!" Un!" Deidara skipped around Konan, not letting go of her hands. "He loves me un! I knew he could feel! I told you, didn't i? I said, before I die, I'll make Danna feel something! And I made him feel love un! Happy. Happy. HAPPY!"
"Dei, calm down you're scaring me. You've just come back from being kidnapped, and then you go out and come back all quiet and… depressed. Now you're skipping around on a high!"
"I told you he was a girl, they change moods super fast" Kisame chirped in, turning off the TV. "No 'fence to you Konan"
"I should hope not!" She turned back to Dei who was grinning from ear to ear. "So, when he said he wanted you to love him back… what did you say?" Konan asked. Deidara's eyes went wide, and his grin instantly went.
"U-un…!!"
"You said 'un'?"
"No un! I didn't say anything! He's gonna hate me!" Deidara grabbed Konan's shoulders and started shaking them in complete devastation. "He's gonna bloody hate me Konan un!" Konan dared a laugh as tears were rising in the blondes eyes.
"Lemmee get the straight, he told you he wanted you to love him back, and you didn't say anything back?"
"Un" Deidara's head bowed.
"Then go you idiot! Tell him whatever you feel!"
"Is that a good idea un?"
"DUH! Dei are you completely blonde?!"
"Yeah un! Oh.. no! I mean no! Gahh don't tease Konan un!"
"Go up to Sasori, and tell him you love him…. You do love him … right?"
"Duuh un! Are you completely blue!" Without hesitation, the blonde ran back upstairs, cursing at himself for not saying something when he should have.
"Nuh uh Dei, that just doesn't work" Konan giggled and went back to doing the washing up.
"He just dissed blue people…" Kisame muttered, folding his arms across his chest.
"Daaannnnnaaaa uuuunn!!" Deidara threw open the door, scanning the room for the red head. He found him on his bed. "You're listening to my CD un.." Deidara noticed.
"Have problem with that Brat?"
"No un! Danna get up!" Deidara rushed over to the bed, pulling the puppet master off it, who was protesting with all his might.
"Dei, you made everything clear as soon as you walked out that door, please get off me"
"Danna said please?! OMFG! Come ion/i danna un!" Once the blonde managed to get the puppet sat up on the edge of the bed, he sat on the floor, his hands on wooden knees. "You know when someone says their speechless?" Once receiving a nod from the red head, Deidara continued. "You made me speechless un! It was sooo weird, I wanted to tell you I love you back but I didn't want to.. no wait.. I did want to, but I couldn't because you totally just blew my-" Deidara felt soft lips on his. He squeaked in surprise, but after a few seconds, he kissed back. There was only two people in that room, him and his Danna. So if Dei wasn't kissing himself, he was kissing the red head, which was fine by him.
Due to the fact Sasori had practically yelled his love for the blonde loud enough for the base to hear and the blonde wouldn't stop yakking about it, the whole base knew about Sasori and Deidara's love. Pein was fine with it as long as they didn't do anything in "public" because Itachi thought it would seem to "Un-S-Ranked-criminal-like" of them. Respecting this, Sasori and Deidara kept their more…intimate love for eachother strictly to the bedroom and around the base…if possible. However, it only took a week at the most for all the Akatsuki members to fully get back into the swing of things. However, there was still one thing Sasori wanted to clear up with the blonde. Sasori was stuck reading a biology book, leaning back on his swivel chair, and his feet on the desk. Deidara stormed in with a frown and threw his newly bought clay on the desk next to Sasori's.
"Stupid un!" Sasori's eyebrows raised.
"Me?"
"What?! No! Not you, me" Deidara looked down and sat on the edge of the bed. "I made a really big mistake Danna un"
"Involving you're clay?"
"No, I just take my frustration out on it"
iHe could always ease some of that frustration on me, I would be—!/i Sasori snapped out of his perverted thoughts before he got a nosebleed.
"Oh, well…what happned?"
"You don't want to know un" The blonde sighed and laid back on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
"Fine, tell me later. We both know either way I'm going to get it out of you" Sasori smirked.
"Yeah un…"
"There's something I wanted to … clear up" Sasori put his book down and lifted his feet of the desk. "Your eating habits…"
"Oh! I'm eating un! I swear!" Deidara sat up laughing nervously.
"I know you are… you just aren't eating everything you should be, just the-"
"The healthy stuff. Don't wanna get fat un" Deidara laughed, but Sasori wasn't finding this funny. He stood up and walked over to the blonde, holding his chin between his fingers. "What noooww!" Deidara moaned.
"Itachi's making sausages for tea. You're eating them"
"No way un! Dirty thoughts…" Deidara shuddered. "Oh, and knowing him, he'll try to poison me"
"He wont. We just want you to eat normally Dei, and none of us understand why you won't" The blonde shrugged.
"Just my appetite I guess. Hey Danna, c-could we …udo/u something u-un?"
"Define 'do'" Sasori held back glomping the blonde there and then. His face looked so cute! His eyes were closed, but he was smiling. His cheeks were as red as the red head's hair and his hands were clasped nervously behind his back.
"Something c-couples do un" Deidara opened one eye, hoping to see a response.
"Since when were we a couple?" Sasori asked. Deidara's jaw dropped. Oh how he loved teasing the blonde. Sasori chuckled, refraining from growling when the blonde jumped on him, straddling his waist.
"Since last week un! And OMG you laughed! It was cuute! Do it again!" Deidara wasn't asking, and Sasori knew it was more of a command.
"No. I smile enough for you as it is. Laughing, is just something I wont do"
"Stupid un. So, can we?"
"Do what?"
"Something couples do un!"
"Only if it doesn't involve the cinemas, going out into the village, getting a take away, preferably something that doesn't cost a lot, anything annoying or loud, something boring…" After this Deidara decided not to listen. The list went of for another few minutes, and it wasn't until Sasori playfully bit Deidara's arm that he snapped out of it. "Oh, did you hear me when I said we're not going ianywhere/i unless you eat those sausages" Deidara pouted and nodded slowly with a frown. "Good" Sasori patted the blondes head. Oh how he loved bribery.
