Chapter 37

Sasuke twirled the keys to the car that he was given for passing his driving test around his finger, listening to Naruto rant about Hinata. Since his blond friend had to wait a little more to try for his license, he had to drive him around. Looking over at the blond, Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"So when are you going to go visit Itachi?" Naruto asked after he calmed down about his girlfriend. He was surprised that Itachi sent a letter to them but it seemed easier. From the way he talked, since he read it over Sasuke's shoulder, it sounded like the older Uchiha brother was in good spirits.

"I'm not sure yet. I'll have to take Oka-san and Oto-san over since I'm now their chauffeur." Sasuke whined and laid his head back against nothing. Swinging a little, he looked around and watched Kiba and the others play football. They had a few weeks left until their junior year will start.

"Uzumaki what are you going to be doing tomorrow?" A male voice asked beside the blond.

Both looked over at the auburn haired teen that was beside them. Ever since Shikamaru was set up with Temari, her brother has been hanging out with them. They both went to a different school but it seemed like Gaara popped out of nowhere at times.

"I'm not sure. Why?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Just wondering." The Subaku replied and swung his legs around.

"I thought you said that Hinata was coming." Sasuke blurted out as he looked over at his childhood friend. With a raised sable eyebrow, he started looking around for the Hyuuga girl. He found nothing of the lavender-eyed girl but saw Neji get tackled by Chouji. He laughed but went on looking for the girl.

"She said she was but I think it was after shopping with Tenten. Unless her oto had her do something with Hanabi." Naruto said and looked around with his friend. Getting off the swing, he turned around and jumped at the hug that embraced him. "Hinata-chan don't scare me like that."

"Sorry." She giggled and took a step back. Spinning around, she stopped and looked at her tanned boyfriend. "Do yo-you like it?"

Naruto looked at the ebony haired teen that had a purple tint to it. Her shirt was a cream color with a shade darker then baby blue printed on it, showing off forms of dragonflies. Her skirt was a navy blue and went a little past her knees. He grabbed a hold of her and pecked her lips. "I love it."

She laughed and sat down on his lap when he sat down on the swing again. Looking over at the Uchiha beside her, she smiled at him when he glanced over. "So how's everything Sas-Sasuke-kun?"

"Fine." Sasuke replied and tried not to think about Deidara. Bowing his head, he kicked at the dirt that was below the swings. It was hard to do so when you have a love smitten couple beside you.

"Quit being so depressed Sasuke. I mean, you'll see him soon enough. You're all healed up and done with therapy. I'm sure he is too." Naruto said as he pushed his Uchiha friend. Sighing, he barely got a reaction from his friend. It must be hard to be away from the person you love.

"It's hard to Naruto. I hate being alone." Sasuke stated and got off the swing. He started to the car and sat down in the driver seat. Laying his head back on the head rest, he closed his eyes with a sigh. How can he not be depressed when he's around couples all the time? It seemed like the emotion of love was taunting him because he wasn't around Deidara. He wanted that blond artist so much that whenever he does see him, he just might ravish him all day and night to show him how much he missed him.

"Teme what's the matter with you? Don't try to lie because I know when there's something wrong with you." Naruto asked as he poked his head into the car.

"Deidara, love, lust, whatever you want to call this yearning." Sasuke stated and opened his eyes to look at his blond friend.

Naruto sighed and bowed his head a little. Grabbing the keys, he pocketed them and ignored the glare that was pointed to him. Walking away, he heard the door open and close and decided to run.

"Dobe! You jackass!" Sasuke hollered and raced after his friend. As he charged the teen, he saw that the football game fell off the map as they watched them, along with Hinata and Gaara. Shaking his head, he continued to follow his friend who ran up the slide and stuck his tongue out at him.

"Now Teme what's wrong with you?"

Sasuke stood on the bottom of the slide and glared his hardest at his friend. Blackmail sucks. "I miss Deidara."

Naruto smiled as if he accomplished something and tossed the keys back at his friend. Sliding down, he got hit in the head by his Uchiha friend. Glaring, he held his head and strolled back over at Hinata. He had something up his sleeve that his childhood friend didn't know about.

Shaking his head, Sasuke put his keys back in his pocket and felt them slip out when he started to walk. Growling in annoyance, the dark-haired teen turned to yell at whoever it was but was tackled to the ground. It felt like months, or years since he felt complete.

Looking down, Sasuke had to do a double take to make sure it was actually who he thought it was. Reaching over, he took a lock of blond hair and ran it through his fingers. When it finally set in, he held onto the person and nuzzled his face into the blond locks that smelled like coconut.

"I missed you so much. I'm never leaving your side for any reason." Deidara stated but was slightly muffled by the chest he had his face buried into. He tried to hold the Uchiha closer but barely could.

"I'm glad I didn't feel like I was the only one." Sasuke replied and tried to get up with his blond lover latched onto him. Once Deidara was off, he got up and dusted himself off. Looking over at Naruto, he swore it was his childhood friend's doing but it wasn't. Naruto usually reminded him of a fox when he was cooking something up in his head. It had to be his parents then.

"Why don't you guys go somewhere and catch up? Hell go to Ichiraku's." Chouji insisted and was tackled by Kiba.

Sasuke shook his head and looked down at his lover. It was up to Deidara to decide where they go. He was going to give his blond artist the decision making part of the relationship since his brother never let him do it. Feeling his hands be grabbed by the artist, he smiled a little more. "It's up to you."

Deidara stuck his lip out as he thought. He wasn't sure where to go but it did sound good at Ichiraku's. "Wherever your friend said."

Sasuke slightly grimaced since he wasn't a big fan of the ramen hut. He nodded anyway and started to the car when he was stopped again.

"Sasuke when are you going to post that you're in a relationship with Deidara?" Naruto asked with his hands cupped around his mouth. Watching his friend turn, he saw that familiar smile that gave him his answer: in due time. He wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't tonight if he found pictures or the status changed from single to in a relationship.

At least his friend was happy again.

Longer then the last chapter I've been giving you. I know this for a fact, I need to get me a thesaurus or I might go insane with simple words. I'm trying to spice up my vocabulary in this but the pocket thesaurus I have sucks. Please review.

Oh, forgot to mention! If you have a facebook, I made a page for ya'll to like. Its Neko Hoshi Okami Hime/Neko Hoshi. I try to update on it as much as I can with information as to how many chapters I've completed. I hope you like it.
