(Warning! Contains Yaoi! What does it mean, simple BoyxBoy DON'T LIKE DON'T READ!...please enjoy!)
"Deidara wait up!" Sasori was running over the soft carpeted surface desperately trying to catch up to his blonde partner. "Deidara I said stop!"
"Just leave me alone, un!" Deidara tried to run, he knew that Sasori was faster than him so it was only a matter of time before he was caught. In an attempt to ditch the redhead Deidara swiftly ran into an open door instantly realizing that it was nothing more than the closet where the cleaning supplies was kept or in other words, dead end. He made an immediate turn for the exit but it was too late, Sasori had already entered the closet starting to close the door shut behind him.
"NO!" Deidara cried reaching for the door knob but it was too late the door had already slide shut with an audible 'click' "Dammit, un!" Deidara cursed trying to twist the door knob but before he could even get a grip on it Sasori's hand shot out and grabbed the blondes wrist pinning it to his side.
"Don't even try Deidara I'm not letting you out of here until you tell me what is wrong." Sasori said his voice and his grip firm.
"It doesn't matter if I tell you, we're trapped, un."
"A red eyebrow rose. "What are you talking about?"
"This closet automatically locks from the outside, so until someone else comes along and opens the door we're stuck, un."
"What? How the hell do you know that?" Sasori tried the knob and sure enough it wouldn't budge.
"Do you remember last week when we were in our office and I spilled that glass of water all over my desk."
"Yeah."
"Well I immediately ran to the kitchen to get some paper towels but there weren't any so I came here instead and when I got here I accidently closed the door behind me, I was trapped for over 30 minutes."
"30 minutes?"
"You didn't notice? You were the one who told me to run and get the towels in the first place, un!"
"Sorry I got a little too caught up in my newspaper, there was a fascinating article about a man who gave birth to a chicken."
In reality the redhead had noticed, when Deidara hadn't come back sometime around the 13 minute mark he had started to worry, wondering what could possibly be taking him so long. He soon realized that he could've run into Hidan and decided not to look for the blonde, fearing he might see something he really didn't want to.
"Well sorry that my prolonged absence wasn't as interesting as your precious news article, un." Deidara huffed.
"Deidara where are the paper towels?" Sasori had asked upon Deidara's return only to see the blonde empty handed.
"Oh…ugh…well you see…I'll be right back, un."
Deidara had taken off running out of the room like a fat kid chasing a Twinkie to retrieve the needed item, although at the time they were no longer necessary for Sasori had managed to find one of the old rags he used for polishing his puppets to clean the mess shortly after Deidara had left the first time.
Sasori now felt as if an annoying weight had been lifted off his shoulders. "Why didn't you tell me you'd been trapped in here?"
"Because I didn't want you to think I was some dumb blonde incapable of rescuing himself from a locked closet, un."
"Deidara I wouldn't have thought that."
"Really. Un?"
"Of course, I just would've thought you were some dumb blonde who didn't understand why we carry guns around, observe." In the almost pitch black room Deidara could just barely see Sasori starting to reach for his gun, apparently he was going to shoot the door open.
"Are you insane? Do you want to get someone killed, un?" Deidara yelled pulling Sasori's hand away from his belt before he could even touch the cold metal of his gun.
"Relax Deidara, I wasn't really going to shoot the door, man I'm not a crazy blonde like you." Sasori snickered.
"Don't make me hurt you, un." Deidara frowned.
"Tsk, like you could." Sasori chuckled.
"What you think I couldn't take you, un?"
"No it's not that, it's….ok yeah it's that."
"Well we'll just see about that." Deidara smirked making a blind grab to the redhead's wrists seeing as they still had yet to turn off the lights, so they were still in complete and total darkness. Although the second Deidara's hand touched Sasori's the tables were quickly turned and Deidara soon found himself with his back pushed against the door both his arms pinned above his head while the rest of his body was restrained flat against the door by one strong well muscled chest being pressed against his own.
"We'll see about what Deidara?" Sasori's words caused a shiver to run through the blonde's body.
OMG Sasori is so close, I can feel his warm breath on my face, I know I should tell him to back up but I can't seem to bring myself to form the words.
"S-Sasori D-Danna, un?"
"Yes Deidara." The redhead purred, without warning Deidara's legs gave out, if it hadn't been for Sasori holding him against the door he would've no doubt fallen to the floor.
"Deidara are you alright?" Sasori said worry clear in his voice. It was at that moment that the door suddenly flew open causing both Sasori and Deidara to fall out of the now open passage way and to the floor. In a last chance effort to save the blonde before he was crushed beneath him, Sasori wrapped one arm firmly around his waist while the other one shot out to catch themselves before they could completely hit the floor.
"Deidara are you alright." Sasori mumbled refusing to loosen his hold on the others waist.
"Y-Yeah, un, I think so."
"Ahem." Both slightly shaken police officers look up at the sound of the voice, only to find out just who exactly their savior was.
"H-Hidan I-It's not what it looks like!" Deidara cried, immediately pushing Sasori off himself so he could sit up.
"You're welcome." Murmured Sasori as he watched the blonde stand, shortly after he climbed to his own feet lightly dusting himself off, making a mental note to check his arm later for any possible damages.
"Deidara." Hidan began, a deep frown on his face.
"Please let me explain! Nothing happened, I was running and Sasori followed I ran here to get away but when the door closed it locked and we were trapped, it automatically locks from the outside!"
Seeing that Deidara was starting to panic Sasori decided to step in and save him. "It's true Hidan, nothing happened I chased after him like he said, when he ran into the closet like he said I flowed because I wanted to see what was wrong, the door closed and we got stuck, nothing else happened.
"Deidara I-"
"Hidan please believe me I swear that I would never do anything to hurt you, un." Deidara pleaded his eyes on the brink of tears.
Hidan seemed to take a moment to absorb all that he was being told, the hallway was deathly quiet while they waited for a response, until finally. "Alright, I believe you." He smiled wrapping his arms around the blonde giving him a loving hug. Sasori took that as his q to leave, shoulders slumped and eyes closed not wanting to see the sight behind him as he silently slipped into his office.
"Hidan you really believe me, un?" Deidara asked, relieved.
"Of course, you're not a good enough actor to be able to pull off something like that." Deidara felt the slight sting at his personality, becoming a little irritated at the man who was currently embracing him. "And I also know that you're too good a person to ever do anything that would hurt me." Hidan released the blonde, but kept both his hands softly on the other's shoulders.
"Thanks, un."
"No problem so what was with you back there, why did you act like that when Sasori covered your mouth?"
"Uhhh, If you don't mind I'd really rather not talk about that right now okay, un?" Deidara smiled nervously hoping the silver haired man would drop it.
"Alright." Deidara blew a mental sigh of relief. "But I was wondering if you'd maybe like to come over to my place and watch a movie we haven't had much time together so I thought it'd be nice just you, me and all the popcorn we can eat.
"Ugh Hidan I don't-"
"Awe please Dei-Chan I would really appreciate it, we hardly even see each other and I thought that this would be a perfect way for us to get some alone time." Hidan said his voice low and seductive.
Deidara mentally sighted "…Is that all you can eat popcorn thing for real, un?"
"YES!" Hidan then grabbed the blonde picking him up off the floor and spinning him around as if he'd just been told the greatest news in the world.
"Hidan….can't…..breathe….un." Deidara gasped.
"Oops, sorry." Hidan smiled setting Deidara on his feet and giving him a light kiss on the cheek, he knew that Deidara wouldn't really like it if he went for something more.
"So when would you like to come over, 6, 7, 8? Or we could just leave now."
"Hidan we both still have to work, un." Deidara pointed out, smiling at the almost childlike smile on the man's face.
"Oh right."
"How 7:30, I get off work at 6:30 and that'll give me time to get home, shower, change and then get to your place, un. How's that sound?"
"Great! 7:30 it is." Hidan smiled, everything was going just perfectly all he needed to do was pick out a movie.
Maybe a horror? Hidan liked the possibilities.

(Hidan's mind, run while you can!)
~*~Warning! may contain cheesy romantic moments~*~
The hotel maid screamed when she saw the dead couple lying on the bed, completely cut to shreds with huge pieces of glass still embedded into their bodies. The floor was soaking wet from where the water bed had popped for when the mirror overtop the bed had been shattered the falling shards had caused the bed to exploded in waves of water and blood.
"I'm scared, un!" Deidara suddenly cried jumping onto Hidan's lap from his spot on the couch, wrapping both his arms around the others neck and burying his face into the silver haired mans chest. Hidan could only grin as his arms encircled the blondes waist pulling him closer and running a hand through the others long, soft hair.
"It's ok Dei-Chan it's only a movie." Hidan whispered kissing the blondes forehead, the contact seemed to help calm Deidara down a little.
"H-Hidan, un." Deidara mumbled lifting up his head a little bit.
"Yes Deidara?"
"That felt good will you do it again, un?"
"Of course." Hidan said, repeating the act placing his lips on the blonde's smooth forehead.
"That's not what it meant, un." Deidara breathed moving closer, which was surprisingly possible seeing as there was virtually no space between them.
"Really? Well what did you mean?" Hidan inquired, already having an idea as to what was going on here, and let's just say Hidan likey ^^
"This." The next second Deidara's mouth was pressed softly against Hidan's, gently massaging their lips together as Hidan slipped his tongue into Deidara's mouth making the blonde moan from sheer pleasure as he ran his hands up and down the silver haired mans chest.
"Oh Hidan!" Deidara groaned.
"Oh Deidara!" Hidan immediately moved his mouth to the blonde's throat, nipping and sucking at the sensitive flesh.
"H-Hidan u-un! Oh my Jashin I love you! I'm so sorry that I've lets thoughts of Sasori keep me from you, please forgive me, un."
Hidan leaned back to look at Deidara, adjusting him in his lap so that the blonde now straddled the Jashinist's hips, taking his chin in his hand as he stared deep into the others pure blue eyes.
"Of course I forgive you, how could I not?" Hidan gave the blonde a quick peck, massaging his back as he held Deidara close. "You're strong, beautiful, and have a kind heart if anything I should apologize to you for stealing your heart, I had no right to do such a thing."
*purrrr* XD "Hidan you don't have to worry about that, it was yours the second we met, un." Deidara nuzzled into the crook of Hidan's neck, slowly kissing along his throat, his jaw, and finally stopping at his lips. They kissed slowly at first but as time went they became more forceful, pulling at the other in an almost desperate attempt to get closer.
It wasn't until they broke of gasping that they finally spoke "W-We should have movie nights more often, un."
"I couldn't agree more." Hidan smiled bringing Deidara's face down for another kiss.

(Back to present)
"Hey Hidan! Yo earth to idiot, you copy?" Hidan blinked his eyes finally coming back to reality, only to find an annoyed Itachi standing in front of him.
"What do you want?" Hidan asked.
"You were just standing there in the middle of the hallway with this glazed over look in your eyes, I came over to see what was causing you to look more brainless than usual."
"Yeah Itachi I'm fine." Hidan smiled giving a slight wave and walking away. His and Itachi's friendship was a strange one, most of the time they acted like they hated each other but in reality they were very close friends, they went into the academy together but Itachi had graduated one year before him (over achieving weasel) although Hidan had been happy for him, and when he found out that he'd be working with him that just made everything a whole lot better. Itachi calling him 'brainless' was just Itachi speak for are you ok? Which of course he was, he couldn't be better tonight was going to be perfect he just needed to pick the perfect movie.
Maybe a sappy, happy movie?

(Back into Hidan's mind…prepare yourselves!)
*sniffle*
"Deidara are you ok?"
*sniffle* *sniffle*
"Deidara it's only a movie."
*sniffle* *sniffle* *sob*
"Awe come here Dei-Chan." Hidan said pulling the blonde into his arms, they were seated on Hidan's couch watching 'Finding Nemo' and it was at the part where the daddy fish thought his son was dead.
"It's just so sad, un!" Deidara cried, sobbing into Hidan's chest, Hidan gently wrapped his arms tighter around the blonde's small frame.
"I know but remember it's only a movie." Hidan soothed.
"I know that but it's still sad, Marlin (Nemo's dad) thinks his son is dead, and after they just managed to save all those other fishes from the fishermen, un."
"Shhh, shhhh, its ok I'm here, I'm here." Hidan rubbed small circles in the blondes back trying to get him to calm down. After another minute the blonde's sobs calmed down to some light hiccups.
"Thanks Hidan, un." Deidara smiled, rubbing his face into the man now tear soaked shirt. "Sorry about you shirt, un." Deidara leaned back, lifting the damp material off the other mans chest and then letting go, landing with a slight 'plop'.
"It's ok Deidara, hey look Nemo's alive!"
"Hmm? Oh yeah right, un." Deidara said almost indifferent to the movie as he snuggled in deeper.
"Weren't you just crying a second ago? Have you ever seen this movie before?"
"…Yes I've seen it before, un." Deidara gave a small smile turning his head slightly to the side.
"Then why were you crying?" Hidan inquired.
"Maybe because I wanted an excuse to get closer to you, un." Deidara said with half lidded eyes, as he gradually brought his face closer to Hidan's, lips slightly parted. Hidan didn't hesitate he laced his fingers in the others soft silky hair and crashed their lips together as Deidara's arms encircled his neck clinging to him as if he would never let go. And as far as Hidan was concerned he couldn't be happier.
"Is that a pencil in your pocket or are you just happy to see me, un?" Deidara giggled leaning back on the couch, pulling Hidan on top of him.
"It's a pencil." Hidan said pulling said item out of his pocket to show the blonde.
"…Oh." Hidan smirked at the slightly disappointed look on Deidara's face, wrapping both his arms around the others waist, he hugged him tightly to his chest all while kissing the blonde slowly and passionately.
"But of course I'm always happy to see you."
"I'm glad." Came a new deeper voice. Hidan's head immediately shot up stunned to find that he was no longer on his couch with Deidara, but at the Akatsuki police station in his office with his arms wrapped tightly around a certain scarred, dark haired policed officer.
"Kakuzu?"
~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~
"WHOA!" Hidan shot up from his place on his bed, still wrapped in a towel from his shower.
"I must've fallen asleep." Hidan grumbled to himself, running a hand through his still damp hair. What the heck happened one minute I was lying on my bed thinking about Deidara and the next thing I know I'm dreaming about Kakuzu…and the way things used to be. A sad smiled graced Hidan lips thinking about the past that was until he got a look at his clock.
"7:14! Damn Deidara's going to be here in 16 minutes!" Hidan quickly shot out of bed, ripping the towel from his still moist body while he struggled to get ready for his hopefully long-lasting boyfriends arrival.
"Welcome Dei-Chan." Hidan sang opening his door just second after the doorbell rang slightly startling the blonde.
"H-Hey Hidan, un." Deidara said slowly making his way inside. "Here, un, I brought you a treat for the movie." He said handing over a box.
"Chocolate Pocky!" Hidan exclaimed accepting the box.
"Yeah, un, I remembered you saying how much you liked them so I got you a box." Deidara smiled watching as Hidan ripped the box open promptly taking one out and sticking it in his mouth.
"Thanks Dei." Hidan smiled taking Deidara's hand, leading him to the couch were he sat the blonde down and when over to the DVD player and hit play.
"What are we watching, un?" Deidara said munching on a stick of pocky that Hidan handed him.
"I thought we could watch something that would keep us…entertained." Hidan smiled sitting down next to Deidara, promptly slipping an arm around his shoulders, not wanting to be rude Deidara hesitantly rested his head on the other mans shoulder smiling when he saw how Hidan's face lit up at the action.
"So what's the movie called, un? Is it a comedy, a romance, an action?" Deidara inquired munching on another stick of pocky.
"I wouldn't really be able to tell you much, it was recommended to me by a guy down at the video store, saying that it was really good." Hidan had gone down there having decided on getting a horror. He didn't really know what to get so he just asked the kid working there, telling him he wanted something really scary so the kid gave him this, saying it was guaranteed to make anyone pee their pants in fear. Hidan hoped that wouldn't happen, he only wanted to scare the blonde not make him soil his pants.
"Alright,un." Deidara said turning his head back to the screen. The opening was a close up of a large corn field, crows cawed in the background as the camera moved through the giant stalks. There was a young boy hanging up multiple scare crows in the field while his father worked to get a large tractor like machine working. While the boy worked to finish up a sudden flash of movement caught his eye. When he turned his head he saw nothing but another scare crow. Upon further investigation the boy noticed that the scare crow had razor sharp talons on its feet, and they moved! The boy started running in the direction of the farm screaming his older brother's name in terror while the scare crow jumped to life spreading a pair of large bat wings and flying out over the field.
They continued to watch the movie in silence occasionally flinching whenever the monster would suddenly appear. Hidan kept one eye on Deidara just waiting for the right moment when he would cling to him in fear. That was until when the part came where the bus full of high school students who were stranded in the middle of nowhere made a break for freedom, screams fill the air as the bat creature took them down one by one. Hidan suddenly found himself unable to look away a slight hint of fear as one of the guys was pinned to a tree from a blade to the arm.
"Hey Hidan are you alright, un?" Deidara asked, sitting up slightly to look at the other man.
"Huh?" Then Hidan noticed that he was shaking slightly, apparently the movie was getting to him more than Deidara, damn he wasn't supposed to be the one getting scared that was Deidara's job even if he didn't know it. But when the Jashinist looked at Deidara again he noticed that the blonde was perfectly fine, not seeming even the slightest bit fazed.
"Yeah, I'm fine Deidara, um would you like something more to drink?" Hidan gestured to the two empty glasses on the small coffee table before them.
"Um, yes please, thank you, un." Deidara smiled, although there was a slight hint of worry in his eyes as Hidan stood and walked into the kitchen.
Damn, this is not how I expected this to happen. Deidara is the one who's supposed to get scared not me, I mean really the movie isn't even that scary….so why was I shaking? Hidan recalled the part where the monster had climbed on top of the school bus, peering in through the back window eyeing all the terrified student with a hungry look in its eyes, know it had a large feast before it. Why did that part bother me so much? It's just a movie, it's just a movie, it's just a movie. Hidan continually repeated that in his mind as he carried both drinks back into the room setting them down on the table and taking his seat on the couch. When his butt finally hit the soft cushion a thought came to his mind. Damn, I have to go to the bathroom. But when Deidara leaned his head back against his shoulder he thought twice about it. I can just hold it, the movie can't be that much longer…can it?
The next 20 minutes were excruciating for Hidan, ever second that passed he was torn between a slight fear from the movie, and the strong need to have to use the bathroom and every time he thought about getting up to relieve the pain he would look down and see Deidara's bright beautiful hair and think how he may never have this chance again.
It wasn't until the movie reached the part where the farmer (who had lost his son) came to rescue the few trapped kids who had re-gathered on the bus, he battled the monster with a homemade harpoon. Shooting at it as it flew through the air, the harpoon finally hit its mark, slicing itself through the monster body only for the machine to be put to the test as the evil bat creature flew through the air pulling at the strings trying to get itself free, that was until the monster made a dive for the man. Flying past the machine (which was attached to a truck) and flipping it over, the father and his only remaining son made a divide for cover as the truck was flipped through the air only for it to be destroyed upon landing. Hidan suddenly felt a bit of relief as the scene passed, wait!
Hidan suddenly shot up from his place on the couch startling Deidara who fell on his side.
"Hidan is something wrong?" Deidara asked slightly alarmed.
"Yeah, ugh, I just need to check on something really fast!" Hidan ran around the corner desperate to get to the bathroom before it was too late. He slammed the door behind him.
"Son of a #*$&$ #(#&^ #$%#$%..." Hidan hung his head over the bathroom sink, he couldn't believe he'd wet his pants this was turning out to be one of the worst days of his life, he looked down there was a large wet mark covered the front of his pants. He mentally sighed to himself knowing he might as well get it over with. Being the rough and tough Jashininst he was, he removed his pants and went into his room to get a clean pair trying to find one that the similar to the ones he was just wearing. He managed to find a pair of denim jeans that were just a shade lighter than the original, hoping Deidara wouldn't notice he walked out the room, acting as if everything were alright, but when he entered the TV room he saw that the couch was no longer occupied. When he looked over the side he felt he heart skip a beat, there just where he had been sitting was a bundle of paper towels absorbing some type of liquid on the couch. Oh no, please tell me I didn't. Hidan could hear the sound of water running in the kitchen, there he found Deidara standing at the sink washing his hands.
"H-Hey Deidara."
Said blonde jumped. "Hidan, geese you scared me, I didn't even hear you come in, un."
"Yeah, well I have to apologies for running off so suddenly I had something important to attend to…" Hidan face was burning red, too nervous to look the blonde in the eyes.
"It's ok Hidan, um if you haven't already noticed I cleaned up the accident on the couch."
"Y-Yeah, I saw I have to thank you for that, and I must apolo-"
"Hidan I'm sorry, un" Deidara suddenly cut in.
"Huh? Sorry for what?" Hidan asked confused, if anything he should be the one apologizing to Deidara, he's the one who clean up his…mess.
"'For what?' Hidan didn't you see the mess on the couch, un?"
"Yes….what about it?" Hidan said, trying to keep his cool afraid that the blonde would yell at him for what he'd done, call him a freak for wetting his pants, and leave. What he didn't expect was what happened next.
"Hidan I spilled my drink on the couch shortly after you left, I clean it up but it's probably going to be awhile before it's completely dry, what are you talking about?" Hidan took this chance, desperate not to let Deidara know what he'd done.
"Oh yeah, thanks Dei, it's no problem really that couch is old and dirty anyway, I've been thinking about getting a new one." Hidan said waving it off like it was no big deal, inside his head he was thanking Jashin from the bottom of his heart, beyond thankful that Deidara seemed oblivious to what he'd done.
"But there is one more thing, while you were gone Konan called on your radio, she wants us to come in, un." Deidara slipped on his jacket already walking towards the front door, Hidan following close behind the mess on the couch forgotten.
"Did she say what he wanted?" Hidan asked, swinging his leg over his motorcycle as Deidara climbed in his car.
"Nope but I get the feeling that something is wrong, so it's probably best we hurry, un."
"Right, let's go." Hidan revved his bike taking off down the road as Deidara followed quickly in his car.
~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~!~*~
"What seems to be the problem?" Hidan asked bursting into Konan's office only to find her sitting at her desk, talking with Pein.
"Problem? No there's no problem, Pein and Itachi are just getting ready to leave. We got a call about a disturbance and they're leaving to go check it out." Konan said.
"So why did you call us in, un?" Deidara asked.
"Because with Pein, Itachi, and of course Zetsu (he's virtually never there) gone then it'll just be me, Sasori, Kakuzu, and Kisame here, but because I'm still a little out of wack, should there be any problems I'll be of no use and I need people here who'll able to handle the problem should one arise." Deidara could easily tell that she was talking about the time when Orochimaru had 'visited'.
"It won't be a problem ma'am, un."
"Good, alright Pein, you and Itachi may leave now." She ordered.
"Okay." Before leaving Pein gave Konan a quick peck on the cheek, smiling as she glared at him, although a light blush did cover her face.
"Alright everyone may go…except you Deidara." She said.
Said blonde looked at her slightly confused but did as told, stepping aside as he let the others pass, shrugging his shoulders when Hidan gave him a 'what's going on?' look.
"Please sit." Konan said.
"Okay, un." Deidara said, taking a seat as he had done on his very first day there. It seemed so long ago, everyday that passed made that one seem more and more like a distance memory. "So why did you want me to stay, un?"
"I wanted to talk to you about Sasori." She said coolly taking a sip from the mug in front of her. It was a dark midnight blue with silver swirls decorating the sides.
"What about Sasori, un?" Deidara asked, confused as to why Konan would want to talk to him about his partner. Konan simply set her mug down and leaned forward on her desk, lacing her finger together as a serious look overtook her features.
"I have known Sasori for almost 10 years, we went to the same high school and then together we went into law enforcement, enrolling in the police academy which is where we met Pein. And as long as I've known him Sasori has been a grumpy, quiet, get the job done quick and painless kind of person. But since you've joined I've noticed a lot of changes, mainly him being more pleasant to be around. But there are other things too, he's more open, more friendly-slightly-and he treats you like an actual friend, you probably don't know this but you're actually more precious to Sasori than he lets on." Deidara was stunned, yes he seemed to notice that Sasori treated him better than most of the others, and yes his attitude towards him had changed since he first joined, but Deidara just thought the redhead had been having a bad week, he had no idea that he used to act like that all the time.
"Konan."
"Hmmm?" She said taking another sip of her drink.
Deidara couldn't believe what he was about to do. "What would you say if I were to tell you that I consider Sasori to be precious to me too, un?"
"I would say it took you long enough to finally admit it."
"U-Un?"
"Deidara not offence but you don't really hide it that well, in the words of Hidan 'Bitch you should know by now that Hidan Konan knows all.'"
"How long have you known, un?" Deidara sighed.
"Ummm, probably since you were first told about the Akatsuki, when he and Pein attacked you, and you whooped their asses. When you saw Sasori was hurt you were quick to go to his side and help him."
"But he's my partner, I'm supposed to help him, un." Deidara pushed.
"True, but we both know you're feeling towards him are more than that of a mere partner." Konan smiled.
"Heh, yea same goes for Kisame and Itachi, I don't think I'll ever forget the time when I accidently walked in on them and let's just say what I saw was sooo not just partnerly friendship, un." He chuckled.
"Oh believe me I have no trouble imagining that, I also accidently walked in on them once."
A blonde eyebrow rose. "Accidently, un?"
"…Yep." She said bringing her mug to her lips, a big grin on her face. Suddenly they both broke into a wild fit of laughter, Deidara wiping the tears from his eyes.
"KONAN!" Kisame yelled.
"What?" She yelled standing up from her chair, completely taken by surprise as the blue skinned man came running into the room, a look of pure terror on his face.
"Turn on your radio now!" He said, but he had already run over to the device sitting on her desk turning it to a particular station turning the volume up almost all the way, although that wasn't really necessary for the person speaking seemed to be yelling with enough force to be able hear them from down the hall.
"…Request immediate backup! There are over a dozen suspects, each heavily armed, the constant wave of gun fire is keeping up trapped on the side of our cruiser, and are unable to return fire. Please we need help!" Deidara immediately recognized the voice, Itachi! Now he understood why Kisame had been so upset, his eyes were focused on the radio as the transmission continued. "A second cruiser has recently pulled up but gun fire was immediately set loose, and I don't know if whoever was in there is alive or not. Konan if you're listening it was one of our cruisers!"
"Who the hell could've it have been, un?" Deidara immediately started taking tally of everyone who was there. Station: Me, Konan, Sasori, Hidan, Kisame, Kakuzu. Out there: Pein, Itachi and….Zetsu! Deidara felt a small pang of hurt in his heart for the man, and he couldn't help but have his thoughts travel to that of his best friend Tobi. Him and Zetsu had really been getting along, Zetsu had even come by his office a couple of time to ask the blonde what the hyperactive boy would like, hoping to get some advice on how to get a relationship started. (that wasn't awkward at all) XD.
"AHHHHHHH!" A loud blood curdling scream suddenly came over the radio.
"ITACHI!" Kisame yelled making a grab for the radio but he wasn't quick enough Konan already had the speaker in her hand, her voice loud and authorative as she yelled into it.
"PEIN! PEIN! Come in do you copy?" She waited "Pein I said do you copy?" Still no answer. "Pein PLEASE! If you're there answer me!" Her voice sounded to be almost on the brink of tears, but Kisame had her beat, a slight stream of tears was running down his face, his hands were clinched into fists as he tried to wipe them away. Unexpectedly a hand came into view as Sasori handed the shark man a tissue. Kisame gladly took it, giving a slight smile in thanks, but he never used it only clutching it tight in his hand while he watched Konan try to get a response out of the radio.
"HELLO! IS ANYONE THERE?" Her shoulders slumped, seeming to have given up, that was until the radio crackled to life.
"Hello?" An unfamiliar voice asked.
"Yes! Yes! I'm here, what's going on there?" Konan responded hurriedly.
"Who is this?" The voice asked.
"This is Chief Kami of the Konoha special task force, and I demand to know what the hell has happened to my men!" She ordered, seeming to use every ounce of authority she could muster.
"There was a large shoot out, about one minute ago me and my men arrived on the scene of nearly 1 dozen men shooting at two police cruisers, each completely covered in bullet holes."
"And the men who were in those cruisers, what's happened to them?" She pushed, looking like she was ready to rip the radio to piece if she didn't get some answers soon, and Kisame wasn't' too far off.
"There were a total of 3 officers on scene when we arrived, all of them had been shot…" Konan's hand fell limp as she dropped the mic, Kisame also started to become limp starting to fall to the floor before Kakuzu and Hidan managed to catch him, carefully setting him down in one of the plush red chair the sat in Konan's office. But Deidara refused to give up hope, he grabbed the mic and pushed the receiver button.
"I'm sorry could you please repeat that last part, un?" Deidara said feeling all eyes on him as he spoke.
"Sure, I said that the 3 officers who had already been on scene were shot, although nothing fatal their injuries were still severe and require immediate attention, they've all been rushed to Konoha's main hospital and should be arriving shortly."
"Thank you I want you tell your commander to keep us posted on the situation until they arrive, understood?" The others in the room look at Deidara, completely stunned to hear such an authorative voice coming out of him.
"Yes sir!" And the line when blank.
Immediately Konan seemed to snap out of her funk, eyes ablaze. "Sasori, Deidara, Kisame we're heading over to the hospital right now, they're going to need security down there and we're going to provide it, this is the perfect time for any enemies of the Akatsuki to strike and we need to be ready to protect our guys."
Shouts of agreement were heard all around. Sasori noticed how Kisame started running to his office, no doubt to retrieve his gun and belt. Worried for the man the redhead followed, not wanting him to trying anything stupid he tended to lose a little control whenever Itachi was in danger and to have a confirmation on him being seriously injured, well he just hoped that nothing too bad happened.
"Kisame are you alright?" Sasori asked, upon walking into the other man's office.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Kisame said snapping his belt around his waist, hurrying past the redhead out into the hallway.
"Kisame you don't look ok." Sasori said walking beside the distraught man.
"Well I am, you don't have to worry." Kisame walked past the kitchen where Deidara and Hidan seemed to be talking, both turning their heads to look at the shark when he passed. Kisame was almost at the exit it was now or never.
"Kisame…" Sasori said grabbing the man's shoulders, turning him around to face the redhead, quickly wrapping both his arms around the blue skinned man, which was slightly hard to do seeing as Kisame nearly half a head taller than the Akasuna but he still managed. "Itachi is going to be ok." Sasori whispered.
It was at that moment that Kisame chose to break down, arms wrapping tightly around the redhead, letting his cries fly free as his tears fell to the others shirt. Thankfully it took less than a minute for the shark to calm down long enough to speak
"T-That scream on the radio, there's no doubt in my mind that it was Itachi's." Kisame whispered, pulling back from Sasori and running a hand through his hair.
"I know." Sasori made sure to keep one arm firmly around Kisame's shoulders, the contact seemed to help keep the shark calm.
"I haven't heard a scream like that since-"
"Believe me I know." The same thought had come to Sasori, after all the memory of the original scream haunted the dreams of anyone who was there to witness it, and he was no exception.
"Sasori."
"Yeah?"
"You need to tell him."
"Tell who what?"
"You know full well what I'm talking about, you need to tell Deidara you love him." The shark said firmly.
"I…I don't know if I can." Sasori slumped miserably against the wall, a look of sadness on his face as he thought about the possible outcomes. Deidara could laugh at me, call me weak for ever having thought he would return those feelings. Or worst of all, he could say he returned those feelings but loved Hidan more, with no thoughts of leaving that Jashinist for me. A slap to the face brought the redhead back to reality.
"What the hell was that for?" Sasori demanded thoroughly pissed that he'd just been bitch slapped.
"Sorry I just thought you were Sasori Akasuna, one of the most feared members in the Akatsuki, not some winey little baby who didn't 'know' if he could do the one thing that would probably turn out right and make him happier than he's ever been." Kisame crossed his arms over his chest, a slight frown on his face.
"Kisame what the hell if wrong with you, there's no guarantee that things would work out."
SLAP
"Would you stop doing that?"
SLAP SLAP
"You do that one more time and the teams going to be eating sushi for the next 2 weeks." Sasori threaten, wrapping his hands in Kisame's shirt bringing the sharks head down to his level so he could glare menacingly into his eyes.
"There's the feared Akasuna we all know and love." Kisame smirked.
"And what exactly was the point in getting me mad?" Sasori said releasing the man.
"You tend to be a little more impulsive when you get mad, so I figured I use that to my advantage."
"What are you talking about?" Sasori was really starting to get tired of Kisames games, and they really needed to leave soon or else Konan was going yell at them for being late, and he was sure the shark was eager to get to his weasel.
"I'm talking about how you and Deidara are too stupid to realize that you guys are in love, I mean really man have you not noticed that you're actually nice to the kid (sometimes) and that the kid actually respects you and follows you around like an eager puppy ready to learn from his master, I mean COME ON! He's calls you Danna! If that's not a show of serious affection then I don't know what is."
"…Maybe you right." Sasori mumbled more to himself than to his companion.
"I am right and you know it."
"Okay, okay you are right and I do know it, but what I don't know is what's stopping me from going to him right now and telling him?"
"A good shove." Kisame literally picked up the redhead by his shoulder and turned him in the direction of the kitchen, giving a little push with his hands before walking out the exit, a cheery 'Good luck' was the last thing Sasori heard before Kisame disappeared. But the redhead was already running, for the first time in so long he felt exhilarated, just from the thought of his precious blonde who was no more than 10 feet from the redhead, hopefully still in the kitchen. He knew that the second he found him he was going to take Deidara in his arms and say those 4 special words. He rounded the corner adrenalin still pumping through his veins.
"Deidara I love yo-" Sasori immediately turned around, running as fast as his legs would carry him, desperate to get the hell out of there. When he got outside to his cruiser he couldn't even focus enough to get his key in the lock before he broke down, letting out an animal like yell that sent the nearby birds flying. He couldn't seem to get the image of Hidan and Deidara out of his head, the sight of the two of them, their arms wrapping tightly around each other, their lips moving together with a slow passion made the redheads heart literally break in two. He clutched at his shirt, knuckles turning white from the pressure. He just wanted to take a knife and plunge it deep into his heart with all hopes of ripping it out.
At this moment he would give anything to have no emotions, to just be cold, to be unfeeling, to be distant, detached, blank, completely indifferent just to make this pain stop. At this point he would give anything, say anything…do anything.
But he knew that whatever he came up with he would never follow through. He knew that the only thing that would truly end his pain would be for him to die, but if he did that he knew Deidara would be sad, and he never could stand the sight of a blonde angle looking sad. So he just had to suck it up, he'd lost and he could accept that, he'd continue as if nothing had happened treating each and every day like any other. With the thought of a plan in mind Sasori was able to compose himself long enough to get into his cruiser, start the engine and begin to pull out. That was until a light knock at the passenger's window forced him to hit the brakes. Deidara! The blonde smiled from the other side gesturing for him to roll down the window.
"Hey, un, mind letting me ride with you? Hidan's taking his motorcycle and I think I've had enough terror for one night." The blonde smiled, but his features immediately fell when he got a look at the redheads face. "Are you alright, un?" The blonde asked, climbing in after Sasori had unlocked his door.
"Yeah brat I'm fine." Sasori murmured, putting on a smile for the blonde.
"Are you sure, un, you look really upset."
"Yeah, I'm just a little worried about the others that all." Sasori said, his eyes intent on the road.
"Well I'm sure there's nothing to worry about, they are Akatsuki men, the best and brightest of Konoha." Deidara cheered a ridiculous grin on his face as he mock punched that air. Sasori couldn't' help but chuckle at his partners actions.
"Yeah, the best and brightest." Sasori smiled, although the second Deidara's head turned to look out the window his smile fell giving way to a look of complete despair from the corner of his eye he could see Deidara's face illuminated from the passing street lights. He never would let him know just how much he had changed the redhead.
