Deidara looked over to his dresser at the many different figures he made of birds, animals, insects, and people while lying down on his side. Soon, his body weighed down and his blue eyes became tired as he drifted off to sleep.

Deidara woke up from his nap only feeling just as tired as when he laid down. After his little emotional breakdown he felt like he needed more than a nap. When he gazed at the lock it read 9:15 p.m. Yeah, four hours wasn't even going to cut but it would have to do. Deidara got up and walked out his door and froze, blinking for a moment when he touched his hair remembering just then that he had cut it in the bathroom earlier. Deidara pulled up his long sleeve and sighed to himself. "So it wasn't a dream, un ... I really did it, un." Deidara put his arm back down to his side and strolled in the decent sized living room only to see Sakura lying on the couch flipping through a book. Deidara grabbed the end of his sleeve while clearing his throat to get the pink haired girl's attention.

When the med-nin looked up to glare he spoke. "Sakura-san, I need to …"

Sakura sat up, "You need to what?" She paused. "Need to tell me how you're sorry for ruining Sasori's life!?"

Deidara growled. "Not to you, un!"

"You aren't going near Sasori! You're a heartless bastard Deidara!" Sakura was standing up by now. "The only one here who loves and cares about him is me."

That hurt. "Sasori danna doesn't even love you back, un!"

Sakura laughed in disbelief. "Then tell me why he isn't with you."

Deidara looked down. "I … I just want to apologize, un."

"Do you still love him?"

"Yes, un."

"Then no"

Deidara tightened his fist and tried to restrain himself from punching her in the face. "I'm not a child, I know what to do, un!"

Sakura walked by Deidara and turned to face him before leaving down the hall. "Then stop acting like one and leave him alone." And with that, she turned her back to him and disappeared down the hall into her room which she shared with Sasori.

Deidara pulled a slender hand over his face. He was mad now and once again didn't know what to do. He wanted to talk to Sasori but he knew he would need Sakura's help to do it if he wanted to avoid getting brushed off or even worse by Sasori again.

-The next day-

Deidara stood in the kitchen feeling refreshed enough to make lunch. He had slept too long on the couch to catch breakfast and he didn't eat anything the other night so he was starving.

"Deidara"

Deidara jumped slightly and rotated his head to the side and leaned out the kitchen. It was Sakura and she looked tired as ever. Deidara immediately snapped back to what he was doing and reach into the refrigerator slamming the milk down on the counter forcefully and snatching up a box of cereal.

Sakura saw this and braced herself. She knew she didn't deserve Deidara's kindness. Not after their argument. Tentatively, she sat on the navy counter and frowned when Deidara moved him and his bowl over. "Deidara, listen to me."

Deidara shot her a glare. Why should he listen to her? She barely listened to him last night! "What, un?"

Sakura winced at his tone of voice before continuing. "I'm sorry. I was just mad."

"Mad I was apologizing, un?" Deidara rolled his eyes as he poured the milk in his bowl. He didn't have time for this. "You don't need to listen."Deidara blinked and put the milk down grabbing a spoon out the drawer and crunching on a mouthful of cereal.

"No! Mad that … I don't even know why I was mad but the point is Deidara, I apologize."

"…"

"I love Sasori."

Deidara choked on his cereal. There she was with that damn love stuff. Deidara glared and sat at the table trying to keep himself calm. He cut himself last night again and he didn't want to do it today. He couldn't help it if Sakura was in love with Sasori. "But you can make it better." "But I'm still myself, un …" Deidara thought back to himself.

Sakura dusted off her pink sweat pants and white tank top before continuing. "But … you … you love him more … than me and …" Sakura let a tear slide down her face. "…he doesn't love me like that …" She really did love Sasori with all her heart but she knew they weren't even meant for each other.

"I …Sakura-san, un."

Sakura came up to Deidara and stared at his chopped hair. "Why did you do that?"

Deidara looked away and flushed. He couldn't tell her the truth. "…I wanted a new look, un."

Sakura smiled through her green watery eyes. "It was so pretty but this is nice too."

"Thanks, un …"

Just when Sakura was about to say something else they both heard footsteps and immediately knew who they belonged to.

Sasori came in the brightly lit kitchen and frowned. He didn't need this today. He didn't want to see Deidara for a reason. Sasori stared straight ahead at the duo and touched a bruise on his hip causing him to wince. Seeing Deidara made him want to tell him all about the nightmares he'd been having about the men that Sakura hadn't been able to keep away that Deidara probably could. Sasori widened his pretty eyes. He didn't need to think about what they did to him … it wasn't necessary. He had to keep that day away even if it meant permanently staying away from Deidara. All he needed to do was go in his room and cry while he could be alone. Sasori took in a shaky breath and combed his fingers through his hair. "Deidara"

"Sasori, un."
