Whooo! Next chapter! Aren't you excited? I am. There are only two or three more chapters after this.
Disclaimer: I only WISH I owned Naruto…
Deidara yawned and stretched. He climbed out of bed and made his way downstairs. Sasori was sitting at the kitchen table, sipping coffee and reading the paper. "Morning, un."
"Morning koi."
"What's going on today?" Deidara asked as he reached into a cabinet for a bowl. He found one and poured himself a bowl of cereal. After adding milk, he took a seat across from his boyfriend. "Nothing much. There doesn't appear to be any murders today, or at least none that anyone's found out about yet."
"That's good."
A few minutes of silence passed between the two.
"So… you're taking me to the mall today, right?"
"Damn… I was hoping you'd forgotten. Yeah, I'll take you."
"Yay!" Deidara did a little dance in his mind, quite pleased at his easy victory.
Sasori smiled at Deidara's apparent joy. As long as Deidara was happy, he was happy… usually. He'd been contemplating asking for the blonde's hand in marriage, but was worried for several reasons.
What if he said 'no'? Deidara was young; he had his whole life ahead of him.
What if he said 'yes', then later on found someone more interesting? Then they'd have to go through a divorce.
What if he said 'yes' and was killed later? Their work wasn't exactly the safest. They often got death threats.
Sasori sighed. Why did life have to be so complicated?
Deidara noticed the red heads sudden sadness. "What's wrong, Danna?"
"Huh? Oh. Nothing, love. Just thinking."
"Bout what?"
"Stuff…"
Deidara frowned. It was obvious Sasori didn't want to talk about it, so he let it drop.
"Hurry up, Danna! I wanna go there next!" Deidara tugged on Sasori's sleeve excitedly. Sasori let out an annoyed groan and followed reluctantly. He had three bags on each arm and had been at the mall for over three hours. He was quite ready to go home.
Sasori spotted a shop that specialized in jewelry. He quickly gave Deidara the slip, knowing the blonde wouldn't notice his absence until he needed money, and entered the large shop. He made his way to the ring section and sat the bags down next to him to begin looking over the selections.
"Can I help you?" Sasori looked up to see a pink-haired girl looking at him suggestively from across the counter. "Yes, I'm looking for a ring."
"Who's the lucky girl?"
"My boyfriend." Sasori said blatantly. He didn't know the little tramp, why should he care what she thought?
"Oh." Her smile immediately faded. "Are you looking for anything specific?"
"An engagement ring."
"Where'd you go, un? I thought you'd ditched me!"
Deidara pouted from his spot across the table form Sasori. He poked at his fries while waiting for an answer. "I'm sorry. I saw something interesting and had to look. I found you, didn't I?"
"Yeah, un, after I'd freaked out and embarrassed myself in front of the entire store!"
Just then, the waiter stopped by to refill drinks. His name tag read 'Naruto'. He smiled and continued on his way.
"Sorry… I love you."
Deidara sighed. "I wonder sometimes."
"What's that supposed to mean!?"
"Nothing…" Deidara grabbed a fry and dipped it in ketchup before popping it in his mouth. It was Sasori's turn to sigh. He gently grabbed Deidara's hand and brought it forward to lightly kiss it. "I love you so much."
Deidara stared, slightly surprised, before smiling brightly. "I love you too, un."
"Ugh… I hate Mondays." Sasori mumbled as he climbed out of bed. He shook the blonde on the other side of the bed, fully aware that he wouldn't get up otherwise. Deidara groaned and pulled the covers over his head. Sasori sighed. "Get up."
"Nn."
"Come on. Please?"
"Nnn…" Deidara threw the covers off and lazily sat up, his feet dangling off the bed side. Sasori took a seat next to him. Before the blonde knew what hit him, Sasori pulled him into a heated kiss. He slipped his tongue past startled lips to explore the moist cavern.
It ended all too soon. Sasori smirked at a wide-eyed Deidara. "You awake now?"
Deidara could only nod.
"Hidan, can you help me with something…" Deidara trailed off after opening the door. Hidan was sitting on Kakuzu's desk, Kakuzu's hand up his shirt and their mouth's pressed tightly together. After hearing Deidara come in, they quickly broke apart.
"Uh…" Hidan's mouth hung open, trying to come up with an excuse.
"I thought you two hated each other!" Deidara said, dumbfounded.
"We do! He fucking tried to fucking rape me!" Hidan pointed accusingly at Kakuzu.
"Bull shit! You're the one who kissed me!" Kakuzu yelled.
"How long have you two been…?"
"Never!"
"About two weeks."
"You son of a bitch!" Hidan jumped off the desk and grabbed Kakuzu, trying to wrestle him to the ground. Kakuzu, however, was much larger and simply held Hidan against him. He grabbed the struggling man's face and pulled him forward into a heated kiss. Hidan struggled for a bit before finally giving in and kissing back.
Deidara quietly made his way out of the room, slightly freaked out. He quickly ran to Sasori's office. He slipped inside, shutting the door behind him. "Danna!"
Sasori looked up from paper work. "What?"
"Did you know Hidan and Kakuzu are together, un?" Deidara half-whispered excitedly.
"… You're joking, right?"
"No! I saw them making out on Kakuzu's desk!"
"I thought they hated each other!"
"Yeah, me to!"
Deidara walked around and sat on Sasori's lap. "Don't tell anyone, okay, un? I don't think they want anyone to know."
"I won't."
Deidara nuzzled Sasori's neck and was pleased when arms encircled his waist and held him tight.
Sometimes I wonder, 'Why don't I just leave him? He doesn't love me; I'm a pawn to him.' Then he kisses me, and I realize that the only way I can ever leave is if he kills me. I'd die without him… and that scares me more than anything else in the world.
A single stray tear slipped down Kitsune's face. He had to move the mask to wipe it away. He stiffened when he realized Okami had noticed and was now making his way over. Okami removed their masks and trailed his fingers through the younger man's hair. Kitsune whimpered slightly when Okami began gently wiping his eyes of stray tears. He leaned forward and pressed his lips against Kitsune's, lightly massaging their lips.
When they parted, Okami began trailing soft kisses along Kitsune's cheek to his ear. "I love you so fucking much…" He whispered seductively. A shudder went along Kitsune's spine. "I love you too."
Kitsune gasped when Okami began sucking on his neck. He whimpered and attempted to push the larger man away. "It's okay… "I'll be gentle this time, I promise." Okami whispered.
"Okay…"
"So no one found him for three days?"
"Yeah… The smell's pretty bad…"
Sasori held his nose as he snapped a few photographs. Hidan felt himself gag a little at the condition of the body. Deidara was doing an outside sweep because he couldn't stand to go in the house.
Upon going around to the other side of the house, Deidara noticed footprints. He mentally slapped himself when he realized they were his own, and wiped them away.
A loud crash in the kitchen awoke Deidara. He groggily sat up and shook Sasori. "Danna. Someone's in the kitchen, un."
Sasori groaned as he sat up. "Stay here." He climbed out of bed and went to the closet, grabbing a bat before leaving the room and descending the stairs.
Deidara laid back down and closed his eyes. Just as he began slipping back into unconsciousness, he felt the bed shift. "Back already?" Deidara mumbled and rolled over. He reached over to grab his lover's sleeve when suddenly his wrist was gripped tightly, making his eyes snap open.
Deidara yelped as he was roughly yanked up into someone's lap, kissed roughly, and thrown to the ground. "Danna!" He screamed just before he was pounced on. The man appeared to be homeless, as he was dirty, lacked good hygiene, and had an insane look in his eyes.
Deidara struggled violently as the homeless man attempted to tear off his clothes, which wouldn't be difficult since he was only wearing boxers and an oversized t-shirt. He kicked and screamed, scratching at the man's face and holes in his clothing that exposed skin.
Just as suddenly as it began, the attack ended. The man collapsed on Deidara before being kicked off. Deidara was pulled to his feet and held close. He whimpered and buried his face in Sasori's neck, trying to get as close to his lover as possible. "Are you alright, Dei-chan?" Sasori asked hurriedly, voice full of concern. Deidara could only nod as Sasori comfortingly rubbed his back.
Deidara sat back on the bed as Sasori tied the man up and locked him in the bathroom, placing a chair from the kitchen in front of it. He came back to find Deidara sitting quietly, waiting for him to get in bed.
Sasori climbed in next to the younger male. They laid down together and Sasori pulled Deidara as close to him as possible. He whispered loving, comforting words in Deidara's ear until the blonde fell asleep, Sasori joining him soon after.
Yay! It's longer than my other chapters. There was a reason Deidara wasn't kidnapped, you'll find out in the next chapter. Kitsune's identity will be found out in the next chapter as well! I'll give you a hint, his name has been used in one of these first three chapters. Review please!
