Hey guys! Guess what, I LOVE YOU ALL. Your reviews mad my day. And I decided to writ this chapter to day, because I'm in love...with a shirt...that I drew...a few days ago... XD

Anywho... I hope you guys are happy with this chapter... Just a warning though, it is SHORT

Sorry about that! But I sort of like it anyway...

Disclamer: Psh... I wish man... I wish...


The two stayed like that for two and a half hours. Deidara sobbing uncontrollably, Itachi wanted to do nothing other then comfort him. Kisame had walked past the room and poked his head in, but quickly left, closing the door behind him.

Eventually Deidara was calm enough that his breathing was finally becoming steady once more, and the tears stopped almost instantly. He looked up at Itachi, his cheeks red and his eyes blood shot. "Why have you been putting up with me all this time, un? I haven't listened to anything that you've been telling me since he died…and now this…" He said quietly. He pulled his hands up to his chest in a childish manner. He was sitting in Itachi's lap; the Uchiha's cloak was soaked with tears.

"Deidara, you've been hurting…and I know it… I've been annoyed that you wouldn't just accept his death and move on, but I know you didn't want to…" Itachi said quietly. "And I care about you…so I'll do anything to make you feel better…even if it means having to wait for you to accept the pain at all…"

Suddenly the blonde threw his arms around Itachi's neck in a tight hug. The Sharingan user was shocked for a moment before wrapping his arms around the other man in return. "Still…you and Kisame could have gone off on missions like everyone else, un… I don't see why you stayed…because I know that I've been annoying you to the point where you just want to hurt someone, un." The bomb artist said quietly.

"I don't want you to have to be alone when you obviously need someone to be there for you." The other said quietly. A single tear fell from Deidara's eye.

"Thanks Itachi-san. That means a lot to me, un…" He whispered before he kissed the Uchiha's cheek. A small shade of pink found it's way onto Itachi's face. He silently hoped the blonde wouldn't notice. There was no telling how he would react.

Deidara pulled away from Itachi's embrace. He wiped his nose and chuckled sadly, but smiled anyway. "I didn't know you could blush, un." He said quietly. The gleam in his eyes was mocking the Uchiha, and both men knew it.

"Well…apparently I can…" Itachi muttered as his blush deepened. The blonde moved his hair so it was covering half of his face once more.

"You're cute when you blush, un. I should make you do it more often." He said quietly. Then an idea rushed to his mind. The only warning Itachi got of what was coming was a mischievous smile that snaked onto Deidara's face.

"In fact, I think I will…" The blonde murmured. He then pressed his lips gently against Itachi's, causing his blush to deepen even more, his cheeks now a bright shade of red. Deidara pulled away, a smirk now plastered on his face. "Yep." He stated. "I am defiantly going to make you blush more often, un."

The raven-haired ninja's blush faded a little. He blinked and looked at Deidara as the blonde crawled off his lap. "What…was…that…about?" He asked slowly.

"Just me saying thanks, un. Who knows what I would have done if you weren't here to help me?" He asked with a smile. Itachi was surprised with how quickly the bomb artist had seemed to recover from his break down. He was very tempted to pinch himself.

If Deidara really did just kiss him, it would have to have been a dream. There was no way that could have happened. He blinked once more. "Did you just kiss me to say thanks?" He asked, still in quiet a bit of shock.

Deidara nodded. "That, and because you're just so damn hot, un." He looked at Itachi. As if he had read his mind he pinched the skin on his hand. "No. You're not dreaming."

Itachi still looked surprised. "Sorry about soaking your cloak, un." He muttered as he eyed the ex-Konoha ninja's cloak. Itachi looked at his cloak.

"No problem… It will dry… And I honestly don't mind." He said with a small smile himself.

"Itachi-san…I think I'm going to move on…and get over Sasori no danna's death…" The bomb artist said quietly. "It's what he would want…right?" He looked into Itachi's eyes, as if he wanted some sort of assurance that he was doing the right thing. He didn't want to linger on it anymore. He didn't want to keep telling himself that the red headed puppet is still alive. He didn't want to lie to himself. It was only hurting him, and he was finally realizing it.

The Uchiha walked over to Deidara and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Yeah…it is…" He said quietly. Deidara hugged Itachi tightly, his arms around the other man's shoulders and his head lying against his chest.

"I don't want to lie to myself anymore, un…" He explained, voicing his thoughts. The Uchiha sighed and kissed the top of the blonde's head.

"I know…and you don't have to…you can just move on with your life like you want to…like Sasori would want you to…" He whispered as he closed his eyes.

Deidara nodded. "Then I will…" He whispered.

"And I'll help you…any time you need it…" Itachi whispered comfortingly. He hugged Deidara tightly. "No matter what."


Well? Likey? and I know a few people out there hate ItaDei, but if you're one of them, no flamey. Because I came to the conclusion long ago, I am the anti-fire!! Muhahaha... Anyway, yeah. I love you all to death, and I think I'll write one more chapter, and then this will be all wraped up! -claps like a little school girl- So yeah! Once I finish this story, I will glomp each and every one of you.
