Rating: M
Reason: For language, and violence, and mentions of sexual situations (no real sex though!)
Language: English.
Anything else?: OOCness. Random details here and there about things that you probably don't care about. Text messages will be in italics and as well as script form. I really just felt like putting them that way. So it will look REALLY out-of-place. You guys know the drill! Also thoughts in italics, plus little love notes. This chapter takes place about a week after the last one. Sasuke and Deidara are becoming friends now.
I'm not really sure
Sasuke stared at the ceiling of his room and sighed, it had been at least two days since Sakura had text him or even drop by. What if something happened? I remember her saying this guy named...S something was bullying her. What should I do? Should I call? He groaned, no he should leave her alone. Sakura was an adult and could handle herself, she had been one of the students under Tsunade. No one messed with Tsunade, therefore no one generally messed with her students. Didn't she say this guy was from Suna City? Sasuke absolutely hated Suna City it was a literal desert. Always hot and boring, honestly how could people live there? It was almost like a Hell on Earth with how hot it got.
He knew one thing for sure though, the kids that came out of Suna City were as tough as nails. Sasuke thought back to the time he got into a fight with a kid from over there. His name was Gaara or something like that, Hell he didn't give a damn. Sasuke had straight punched the kid in the face and he didn't even react. It was ridiculous, eventually Naruto pulled Sasuke away and had him keep Sakura in check. The poor girl had gotten hit by the Suna City freak and was knocked out. Sasuke clenched his fist as anger flooded through him, it wasn't right to hit girls. He remembered that both him and Naruto had suffered some wounds, Sasuke suffered broken bones, while Naruto just had cuts and bruises.
Sasuke rolled over and stared at his phone, he was bored. Hell he hated to act childish, but he could die of boredom! He reached over and grabed his phone, someone needed to come over and just hang out with him. Sasuke scrolled through his contacts and stopped when he landed on Sakura's number. Should I? No Sasuke leave her alone! She's a big girl now! He frowned at the thought of losing his only female friend, sure a lot of girls hung around him but that wasn't friendship. They just wanted to sleep with him, something he didn't share back with them. Sakura was the only girl he could really get along with, she wasn't a crazy fangirl (anymore). He scrolled back up and decided on his newest gaming pal, a certain blonde.
Sasuke: Hey Deidara, would you like to come over and play a couple of rounds of Super Smash Brothers? I'm dying of boredom over here! Itachi isn't here and niether is mother or father!
Deidara: Oh hi Sasuke! Sure! I'd love to come hang out! Sounds super fun! You providing the snacks? Where's Itachi?
Sasuke: Yeah you raid the fridge anyways so I don't think it matters? I think he's at a business meeting now. That or maybe out with some girl. He never brings his girlfriends home so we can meet them. Do you think he's ashamed of us?
Deidara: ...
Sasuke: Deidara?
Deidara: Ah! Oh sorry Sasuke wasn't paying attention! He's not ashamed of you he would never be. I'm pretty sure I know who he's ashamed of and it isn't yu Sasuke. Okay? I'll be over soon.
Sasuke nodded in approval and got off his bed, his room still a mess from his studying last night. He was still studying so nothing left his mind before he reached college. He only had about seven months until it started. His parents made sure that he would start as soon as he possibly could. Sasuke grumbled and walked out of his bedroom, he was glad Itachi wasn't home. He really didn't want a lecture on how to keep his room tidy and perfect. I hate that word so much. Perfect. It was just another thing for Itachi to seemingly rub in his face, that he was just so perfect. Sasuke walked into the kitchen and grabbed a can of some off brand soda his mother bought. He didn't get it, they could afford anything so why go off brand? Sasuke shrugged and walked to the living room.
He stared at the blank TV screen and shrugged. Maybe he wasn't really feeling like video games, maybe a movie would be more entertaining? Sasuke ran his fingers through his dark blue hair and walked to the window. It was a bright and sunny day, every person he saw seemed to walk with purpose. Today though, Sasuke had no purpose, no joy in his eyes, no snide remarks ready to send, nothing, that's what he had. Nothing. To say he wasn't depressed would be a lie, his father is always praising Itachi. Yelling at Sasuke to be a better son like his big brother. He slumped in the chair beside the window, he really needed some depression meds.
This was one of those days he should have just stayed in bed for, not rolled out ready to take it on. Oh no, this was just a miserable excuse for a day and he hated it. Sasuke perked up at the sight of a cherry red Mustang pull into the drive way. He instantly knew who was, he had gotten over the fact that Deidara was gay quickly. The older male seemed to show him no interest so Sasuke felt comfortable around him. He had to admit it, Deidara was pretty cool to hang around. They shared favorite video games, bands, and even TV shows. Sasuke loved getting to ride around with Deidara in his car, it was fun.
There was a knock on the door and Sasuke was up out of chair. His depressed thoughts left there to sit and stare out the window to brood. He would come back to them later, now he wanted to have some fun. Wether it involved video games or movies he was actually looking forward to it. Human contact he desperately craved, the contact his parents wouldn't give him. Sasuke grinned as he opened the door and almost laughed at Deidara's outfit. He had a pair of bright yellow glasses on, a black and yellow scarf covering his neck, a pair of bright yellow skinny jeans and a black tank top with a white heart on it. He reminded Sasuke of a buzzing bee ready to sting.
"What's so funny, hmm!" Deidara pushed past Sasuke, annoyance clear in his voice.
"I'm sorry you just look like a bee! All the black and yellow!" Sasuke chuckled and walked to the couch.
"Black goes very good with yellow thank you un. Sasuke sweetie you need some fashion advice, yeah." Deidara looked him up and down, sticking out his tongue.
"What with the scarf? Are you a hipster now or something? Or whatever it is they're called?" Sasuke looked over at Deidara who was responding to a text message.
"No, un! I like this scarf. Am I not allowed to wear this, hmm?" Deidara blushed a little and put his phone in his pocket. "You're acting like Itachi now, un! Trying to lable me, hmm!"
Sasuke leaned back and sighed. "Please don't say that. I'm nothing like Itachi."
Deidara sat beside Sasuke and shrugged. "Sometimes whether you like or not you act like him. He's your big brother you're going to pick things up from him, yeah."
Sasuke looked at Deidara and shook his head slowly. "Anywyas. I kind of want to watch a movie before games. Is that okay?"
"Aw do you want to snuggle up with me, yeah?" Deidara laughed softly and poked Sasuke in the arm. "I wouldn't mind snuggling, un."
Sasuke joined in and pushed Deidara away jokingly. "You know I'm into girls!" He got up and walked over to the area where they kept the movies. "What genre?"
Deidara put a finger to his lip as he though. "You know, I'm a little depressed today so give me comedy Sasu, yeah!"
Sasuke grumbled quietly and picked a movie. "Do not call me that again!" He chuckled and put the movie in. "It's so girly!"
Deidara smiled and shrugged. "Yeah but so is DeiDei but that doesn't stop people from calling me it, hmm."
Sasuke shushed him and pressed the play button. "Yeah well you're kind of girly sometimes."
That's how they spent the day, just hanging out. Deidara fell asleep during the second one, mumbling in his sleep about some jerk who he was mad with. Sasuke got up and walked towards his room, he wanted a blanket but Itachi's room kept calling him to investigate. He looked back at the couch to make sure Deidara was really asleep. No movement. Sasuke snuck into Itachi's room and looked around, it certainly was neat except for a few things strewn here and there. He spotted a small collection of notes and smirked. Here we go! He walked over and picked them up, some of them had hearts on them others had smiley faces. Sasuke looked back at the door to make sure no one was coming (even though he knew no one else was home and Deidara was sleeping).
Dear Itachi,
I miss you so much! Won't you come over and see me? I know that things aren't great now but please come over! I love you Itachi!
Sasuke examined the note again, the hand writing was really girly. Typical hearts over the "i" for the titles, and very loopy letters as well. Sasuke folded the note back up and tossed it. Time to read another and dig deeper. Maybe he would find something out about his brother. Who are these from though? Why would Itachi keep them anyways? I got plenty of notes like this and trashed them with a laugh in the girl's face. He shrugged and unfolded another note.
Dear Itachi,
I can't wait to see you again! Just the thought makes my heart flutter with excitement. You know how to wrap someone around your finger. I'm free for a while just text me! I know you think these things are stupid but I like writing them to you. I love you!
Sasuke smirked, so Itachi did have a girlfriend! Or maybe did. Either way it didn't matter, he had found something out! Sasuke put the notes back in their place, he had read enough. He slipped out quietly and closed the door. Why wouldn't he tell us about her? Or that he's even had a girlfriend? She must have been either really annoying or ugly, maybe both. Sasuke chuckled at the thought of his brother dating someone who looked like Karin. He shuddered, she was far too obsessive for someone like Itachi. Oh well, he would find out sooner or later. Maybe I'll finally get to meet her! Sasuke stopped as he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He pulled it out and smiled at the name that appeared.
Sakura: Hey Sasuke!
Sasuke: Hey.
Sakura: What are you doing?
Sasuke: Hanging out with Deidara, you?
Sakura: Walking to your house!
Sasuke: Oh? What for?
Sakura: I wanted to come see my best friend!
Sasuke: Ohhhh! Got ya. Alright I'll see you soon.
Sasuke stared at the door waiting for the knock to come. To say he wasn't excited would be a lie. He'd honestly missed hanging around the pink hair girl, he was a little confused about why she had tried to talk to him in two days. It bothered him, he worried about her of course he did. What good friend wouldn't worry about their only female friend?
Ahhhh chapter four! :D success! Finally ugh my arm hurts darn.
Ohhh Sasuke found love notes! He even snuck into Itachi's room. Oh nooo xD
So yeah, don't be harsh on me for errors please! I'm sorry for the ones I missed! I'm sleep deprived! Ahhhh
So options?
1) Itachi finally tells Sasuke. (Probably won't do yet even if people want this now xD)
2) Sakura and Sasuke have an awkward moment! (i.e. her falling on top of Sasuke and yeah xD)
3) Put in a rainbow unicorn! (this is a joke! xD)
