A/N: I . . . wasn't expecting the review I got, or the story alert, or the story favorite . . . :D
So, thank you, CaramelColoredDreams and black55widow. Gosh knows how much my cousin had to help me . . . Thanks, girly!

Disclaimer: My girlfriend says I don't own Naruto, or 30 Minutes, by t.A.T.u. She's right.


Deidara blinked once. Twice. Thrice.

"I understand, un?"

Lee smiled. It was a small, sad smile, but still a smile.

"Yeah."

"What do I understand, un?"

"What this feels like . . . having your heart torn in half, and having someone stomp on the pieces. I needed someone who understood without me having to explain this feeling . . . Thank you."

And with that, Lee patted Deidara on the shoulder and walked into one of the stalls, shutting himself in. The blonde stared at the bathroom door, trying to process what Lee just told him. He shook his head and walked out of the bathroom, ignoring the stares that everyone was giving him, and the whispers among peers.

"There's Iwa . . ."

"I heard Sasori ditched him for that Gaara dude . . ."

"Yeah, he must have not been good in bed . . ."

"Mhm, because that's all Akasuna cares about, a good lay . . ."

"Well, Gaare left Lee . . ."

"Poor dude."

"Whatever. Sasori and Gaara can go at it like rabbits now. You and I both know that really is all they care about."

"Probably . . ."

Tears pooled in Deidara's eyes. He clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it into a locker next to him. He cried out from the pain of having the ring he wore dig into his flesh, and withdrew his hand, staring at the dent his fist made on the metal with satisfaction. Instantly, he noticed, the whispers stopped, and everyone moved their gaze to something other than him. Deidara smirked, glad that he at least frightened the students enough for them to stop. The smirk, however, was wiped off his face when he saw the school principal, Tsunade, stride down the hall in his direction, with Mr. Guy right behind her.

The blonde straightened up, his mind trying to conjure up excuses for the dent in the locker, but Tsunade and Guy strode right past him and into the bathroom.

"Probably gonna comfort Lee . . ."

Deidara tugged on his bang as he walked to class, remembering how Sasori would soothingly stroke his golden hair when the blonde needed comforting.


A/N: So, next chapter will probably include Sasori and Gaara. :)
So, tell me how I did, yeah? :)
