Hello again. Welcome back. First off, I have a poll up on my profile/bio or whatever so YOU GUYS can vote on what story I post next (And I really need the votes, so far, it's a four way tie). ALSO, something maybe exciting! A chance to meet me! I'll be going to Ikasucon 2008 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I don't know which day yet, but I'll be there so if anyone's going maybe we'll see each other. If I Cosplay at all, I'll probably be Teru Mikami from Death Note, if not I'll probably have my Deidara t-shirt that I made that says 'Art is a Bang' on the front and has an Akatsuki cloud on the back. It'll be my first con and I don't know how difficult it would be to find me, but if any of you are going let me know, I'd love to meet any of my readers. With that said, on with the next chapter!
My Life as a College Whore
One month after first getting…um, intimate with Itachi, Deidara sat under a tree on campus, contemplating his relationship with the Uchiha. They had been going out for a little over a month, but their bond wasn't as strong as Deidara thought it should be. In all honesty, ever since they first had sex, that was all they did. Or at least, all Itachi wanted to do. Deidara thought they were more like, friends with benefits rather than a couple. His feelings for Sasori, however, had graduated from crush to love. But what could Deidara do? Sasori didn't like him like that and they both had boyfriends.
The blonde artist closed his eyes and sighed in exasperation. He heard footsteps nearing and opened his eyes to see Sasori standing over him.
"Hey Sasori-danna, what's up, un?" Deidara asked.
"Pein wants us to go to out dorm, he has an announcement," Sasori told him.
"Oh, ok," Deidara said, getting up. The two walked together towards the building. Deidara glanced at Sasori who he thought looked a little bothered. "Is something wrong, un?" the blonde asked.
Sasori sighed, "Orochimaru left," he said simply.
"What do you mean?" Deidara asked, not understanding what the redhead meant by 'left'.
"Two ways: One broke up with me and two, transferred to a different school," Sasori said, sounding surprisingly uncaring.
"I'm sorry Sasori-danna, un," Deidara said, although he was kind of glad.
"It's alright. We never had much in common, or the best relationship," Sasori said.
"I know how that feels," Deidara murmured. Before Sasori could ask him what he meant, they reached their dorm. Pein, Zetsu and Tobi were waiting for them.
"There you are Deidara," Pein said, "Thanks for bringing him Sasori." He added and said redhead nodded. "Ok, since, as you all must know by know, Orochimaru left the rooms with be switched a bit. I'm getting my own room, since I'm dorm leader. Zetsu is moving in with Tobi and Deidara, you'll be with Sasori." Pein explained.
"Yay, you get to stay with me Zetsu-san," Tobi said happily.
"That's right Tobi. Yeah, yeah, just terrific," Zetsu replied.
"I'll miss you Deidara-sempai," Tobi then said to his old roommate.
"I'll still get to see you Tobi," Deidara assured him, then turned to smile at Sasori who just shrugged.
With the five of them working together, they were able to have everyone moved within a few hours.
"Wow, Sasori-danna. Wasn't Orochimaru creeped out by all the puppets?" Deidara asked, looking around Sasori's room, which he had never been in until today.
"He shouldn't have, he had shelves full of potions containing god knows what himself," Sasori grumbled, "I'm glad I get to stay with you though, I get along with you better."
"Deidara smiled, pleased. "Good, because I think we'll be seeing a lot more of each other," he said.
-Break-
The next day was the first day of winter break and Deidara and Sasori had spent most of the day hanging out, much to the blonde's enjoyment. However, he really had to go talk to Itachi and tell him he had switched rooms in case the Uchiha went looking for him. That obviously didn't matter much though, because Itachi never did look for him.
"Hey Sasori-danna, I need to go see Itachi, so I'll see you later, un," Deidara said, not really wanting to leave. The two had been in their room most of the day, Sasori explained how his puppets worked to Deidara and the blonde showed Sasori his sculptures.
"Oh…well, I'll see you later then," Sasori said, hiding his disappointment.
Deidara reluctantly made his way to Itachi's room, wishing he could stay with Sasori longer. Deidara reached Itachi's room and opened the door without knocking; Itachi always said he could just come in. Though Itachi probably wouldn't say that if he knew Deidara would see what he was seeing now. Itachi, though actually quite short, had Kisame backed up against the wall opposite the door, a little closer than friends should be.
"Itachi, please don't," Kisame was saying, but the look on his face said something else.
"Oh stop Kisame, I know you really like me," Itachi said, pressing closer to Kisame, but their faces were kind of far apart because of the height difference, "You may be the only one that doesn't fall for my mind tricks, but that doesn't mean I can't tell that you're thinking about me."
"I'm not denying it Itachi, but this isn't right. You have a boyfriend, what about Dei-," Kisame happened to look up and spotted Deidara standing there, "Oh, hi Deidara."
Itachi spun around and also saw Deidara, "Shit," he muttered.
"I guess it's safe to saw we're over," Deidara said before turning around and walking back down the hall. As he did so, he tried to make his steps heavier, or maybe even cry, but he just couldn't. All he felt was relief.
"Hey, Deidara."
The blonde turned around and looked at Itachi who was standing a few feet away from him. "Sorry about that. You're right about it being over, but can we still be friends?" he asked.
Deidara smiled despite himself. "Of course, you go get back to Kisame now. Tell him I wish you two the best," Deidara said, and continued walking away, "See you tomorrow."
"Wait a second, Dei," Itachi said, and the artist turned to look at him, "Good luck with Sasori."
"Deidara's smile grew, "Thanks, un," he replied.
-Break-
When Deidara reentered his room, only a few minutes after leaving, Sasori looked at him in surprise. "What are you doing back so soon?" he asked.
Deidara went over to his bed and sat down with a sigh, "We didn't have much in common," he said.
Sasori also sat down on Deidara's bed, next to him. "Are you and Itachi over?" he asked and Deidara nodded, "You don't seem too upset."
"Nah, we didn't have the best relationship," Deidara said, "Kisame and Itachi make a better couple, un."
"He cheated on you?" Sasori guessed.
"He would have if Kisame let him," Deidara said, "Though I can't blame him. I would have too if I knew the person I loved felt the same way, un." The two were quiet for a minute. "Man, I just realized how tired I am!" Deidara suddenly said. He took his hair out of its hair tie, letting his thick blonde hair fall down around his shoulders and face.
Sasori had to hold back from touching it. "Well, goodnight," he said, getting up. He walked passed Deidara, and the blonde grabbed his hand. Deidara opened his mouth like he wanted to say something.
"Goodnight, Sasori-danna," he said, after a second. He lit go of the redhead's hand and looked at him shyly though a curtain of blonde hair.
Sasori smirked and pushed Deidara's hair out of his eyes, leaving his hand there a moment longer than necessary. "Goodnight," he repeated.
