Summary: Secret relationships like ours are much more romantic.
Author's Notes: Done because I wanted an Ino/Akatsuki, and I didn't want to make ANOTHER ItaIno (Yet... ), and Deidara was the only one I could see in this situation. Enjoy :D

Ino scowled as she continued to pick up all the trash strewn across her apartment. After all she had done for her friends-- agreeing to host this year's Valentines Day party, decorating, spiking the punch bowl(1) (something she only did because Naruto kept bugging her about it), and inviting them all over, none had offered to help her clean up.

"Ungrateful pigs," she huffed as she gingerly lifted up a pair of boxers. "The hell?" she twitched before shaking her head, standing up. She wanted to throw away the thing as soon as possible. She turned around, only to find herself smack against someone's chest. "Oh! Did you forget something?" Ino squinted up in an attempt to see the person's face better, only too see it shaded by a straw hat.

"...Ino, un." the blond gasped, her eyes widening, before she jumped onto the man.

"Deidara! I knew you'd visit today," she laughed, burying her face into his shoulder. Deidara smirked, wrapping his own arms around the girl before tugging her off.

"Sorry I haven't visited in a while, un..." he frowned slightly, "Sasori-danna said it was too long a trip, un." he smiled again. "But, how was the party? You have fun, un?" Ino hesitated for a moment, before nodding.

"It was a little boring." she admitted, and Deidara frowned again.

"Un... I saw you looking at all the couples, un," he paused, watching Ino as she tilted her head in confusion.

"Yeah? And?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I was just wondering, if you ever wanted to be like that, un?" Ino stared at him.

"Like what?" Deidara sighed-- the girl was so dense sometimes.

"Be able to be public about your...relationships, un." Ino rose another brow before laughing. "What's so funny, un!" The teen let out a last snort of laughter before replying,

"Public relationships are boring, idiot." she wrapped her arms around his neck, "Secret ones like ours are much more romantic."

(1) If you're wondering if Lee was there, don't worry. He knew not to go near it. :D DRUNKEN FIST! Pow! XD

... They REALLY need to make a 'FLUFF' genre. Because it seems that's what all my drabbles are. --;

The last line was inspired by my need to show that I think that Ino is a hopeless romantic. :D In a good way, though, of course.

This authors note contains spoilers for chapter 312 and up... I think D:

To be honest, I don't like this one as much as other Akatsuki pairs, because the 2 look too much alike for my tastes. But I've already written an ItaIno, and though I WANTED this to be Sasori/Ino... or Kisame/Ino, Hidan/Ino, Zetsu/Ino, Tobi/Ino-- whatever... I am not at the popularity level in FFN where I can write a super f-ed up crack pairing and get away with it. So, all those others will have to wait... for now. ;

...Besides, If it were Hidan/Ino, wouldn't he kill her? Or all her friends? And then himself? D:
