ALL TANGLED UP part 1

Itachi parked his car, smiling at the blond. "One more thing, Dei... uh... I don't know how you feel about this, but just for precaution, if anyone asks, you're my boyfriend. Ok?" He asked, stroking the other's cheek.

"Um, sure." Deidara nodded. "No problem, un."

The Uchiha kissed his cheek, exiting the car. Then, he opened the door for the blond, locking the car once both were out. "Come on..." He took Deidara's hand, guiding him into the restaurant. Said restaurant was, at the least, huge. It resembled a crystal castle on the inside, and the floor was covered in a red carpet. The tables perfectly set, the illumination just the right touch, the correct flowers, and very good food.

The blond's stomach growled a bit upon entering the place. It was amazing, and man was he hungry!

Itachi chuckled. "We should get you some food, ne?"

"Aa!!"

"Well, let's take a seat first." The Uchiha guided him to one of the tables, pulling a chair for him to sit.

Deidara sat, smiling. He looked around, like a curious child.

Itachi took a seat beside the blond, smiling softly. "It's big here... one of the largest restaurants around, and very good."

"Big? Understatement!"

"Yeah... I've seen bigger ones." Chuckled the Uchiha, nuzzling Deidara.

Deidara blinked in surprise. "Bigger ones exist? Bigger than this one?"

"Yes, they do." Itachi smiled. "But anyway... may I ask something?"

"Sure. What is it?"

"How old are you?"

"I'm eighteen, yeah."

"You're young..." The Uchiha sighed softly. "How long... how long ago did this Pein person put you into this... 'job'?"

"About... 7 years, un."

Itachi lowered his head. "You were... 11? That's cruel... it's cruel enough to do that to an adult, but a child?" Shaking his head, he lifted it, and brought the blond onto his lap.

Deidara smiled, snuggling into the brunette's chest.

"Ano... about what I asked earlier... let me change the question a bit." Said the Uchiha, stroking the other's hair. "If you could live there at the house with me... and without my father... which would you choose? Pein or m- or living with Sasu and I?"

"Definitely. Not. Pein."

Itachi smiled softly, kissing Deidara's forehead. "I'll do what I can to help..." The Uchiha added a second part in his head: 'If it's needed, I'll do what I can't...'

The blond smiled again, nuzzling the Uchiha.

Nuzzling back, the brunette pecked Deidara's cheek. "Dei..." He whispered, hugging the other tightly, but not half enough to hurt him.

In Itachi's warm embrace, the blond felt a sort of... security wash over him. He felt safe, and to that strange emotion again.

The Uchiha closed his eyes, feeling Deidara's relaxed body in his arms, his calmness... he felt happy with the blond, and love, and many other feelings. He knew Deidara would probably turn his life upside down and backwards, but if he could be with the blond, and protect him, he had no problem with it.

Deidara smiled, closing his eyes. His stomach growled, very loudly, and he sweat dropped.

Itachi chuckled, seeing the waiter approach. "There, the waiter is here. Ask what you want."

"Ano... you choose for me."

"Let me see... inarizushi... and onigiri, please." The waiter nodded, taking note of Itachi's requests and leaving.

"Ano... sake, onegai? Itachi?"

"Now, Dei-chan, we shouldn't break too many laws." Itachi chuckled. "Only after you're 21."

"What are we, Americans? I drink, Itachi." The blond chuckled.

"Deidara. No." The Uchiha kissed Deidara's cheek. "I don't drink, because I'm still too young for that."

The blond rolled his eyes, still smiling. "Oh, alright."

"Just three more years, you can wait." Itachi smiled back, nuzzling the other.

"Uh-huuuhh."

The Uchiha bit the other's earlobe playfully. "Drinking isn't healthy."

Deidara chuckled. "Not for young teens, and not in excess."

"It's bad for anyone, not only teens." Itachi grinned. "But once you turn 21 I'll let you have sake when you go out with me."

"Hai." He nodded. 'When you go out with me.' That was a VERY dangerous thing to say.

"And..." The Uchiha nuzzled Deidara. "I should think more about my words around you, ne?"

"No, not at all." Deidara lied, laughing.

"Don't lie to me... I see through it." Whispered Itachi. "I'm sorry, I'll try wording things carefully."

"Heh." The blond nuzzled him, grinning.

The Uchiha nuzzled back. "But... I did somehow mean that, even if I shouldn't be seeing times like this the way I do see them... I can't help it."

"No worries, yeah."

"... Dei..." Itachi looked down, shaking his head. "You know... you can admit it when things are wrong, at least... to me you can. I won't hurt you."

The blond suddenly became serious, looking up at the brunette. "Yeah...?"

"... When... when I do something wrong, tell me... I'd like to know how to act with you..." The brunette stroked Deidara's cheek.

Deidara's expression softened again, and he smiled softly. "Okay, un."

"Thank you..." Itachi smiled back, kissing the blond's forehead.

The blond's smile grew a bit, turning into a grin as their food arrived.

Itachi nodded as the waiter placed their food on the table, bowed, and left. "There you go, Dei."

"Aa, arigatou Itachi!" He smiled, picking up one of the inarizushi. "Ah... ita... itadaku... iyo..."

The Uchiha whispered in Deidara's ear. "Itadakimasu."

"Arigatou." He smiled, sweat dropping. "Itadakimasu!" He said before eating. 'Lucky I remembered I was even supposed to say something first...'

Itachi watched the other eat, slowly picking one of the onigiri and eating, then just stopping to watch Deidara again.

The blond felt the other's eyes on him, continuing to eat. Normally, being watched like that would have made him extremely uncomfortable. Usually he was only stared at like that in a predatory manner, by the worst kind of people; the people who would be far too forceful, and didn't care if they hurt him. However, the blond was calm. He didn't sense the others' stare as predatory, but rather something he couldn't place, but it wasn't a bad feeling.

The Uchiha kept an arm around Deidara's waist while he watched him, smiling softly. He didn't even notice someone in the restaurant observing them and taking notes.

After a few minutes, the blond paused, sensing another pair of eyes on them. His instinct as an ex-shinobi told him someone else besides Itachi was watching them. A bad feeling washed over him, and he looked around, a serious expression on his face. Nobody else looked like a shinobi or ex-shinobi. Nobody appeared dangerous. That meant a civilian was watching them. He relaxed a bit, noticing of all of the food, most was gone, and Itachi had only taking an onigiri which he hadn't finished yet. "Itachi..."

"Yes, Dei?" Asked the Uchiha, blinking. He had been lost in thought... or lack of thought... so the blond's voice surprised him.

"People are staring at us..." He said.

"Huh?" Itachi looked around, spotting a man with a light shirt, black pants and a green vest over the shirt, a camera hanging from his neck. He was taking notes. "... Don't worry. If anything leaks, no photos will... If anyone took a picture in here, it would be noticed because of the crystal, and he would be put out. It's forbidden to take pictures in the restaurant."

"I look like a girl, so don't worry about pictures." The blond said.

"I'm worried about pictures for another reason." The Uchiha said, nuzzling Deidara.

"Stop worrying so much, un."

"Dei..." He pecked the blond's cheek. "I just don't want it to leak to Pein that it's you... I mean, for what I've heard of these systems, it could be bad for you to be seen in a situation like this by the boss of that... as much as I hate to think of it."

"Him finding out that you took me somewhere to eat isn't going to do anything." He smiled. "That's not too uncommon."

"Yeah, but even so... I have a bad feeling that if a picture leaks, bad things will happen. I usually trust that instinct." Itachi smiled back, pecking Deidara's lips and nuzzling him.

"Are you a shinobi...?" Deidara asked, relaxing more and nuzzling him back.

"Yes... my clan is a shinobi clan, even if that is kept secret. Nowadays it's not very good to have powers like those..." Whispered Itachi, so only Deidara could hear.

"I know... that's why..." Deidara looked at his palms, which had stitches along them.

"I hadn't noticed these before..." Itachi's fingers gently traced over the stitches. "Why do you have these?"

"So that the jutsu remains undiscovered... Unfortunately, Pein knows. Any time I use them... I think you know where I'm heading with this, un."

"Dei..." The Uchiha kissed him softly, pulling back and nuzzling him, stroking the blond hair softly.

"Usually, if I get a while off, which isn't often, I'll undo the stitches. They hurt like a bitch, un." The blond sighed, closing his eyes. "I can usually get away with them off for a week, maybe a month sometimes."

"They must really hurt... having the hands stitched up..." The Uchiha also sighed, hugging the other closer.

"It does... But I'm used to it." The blond assured, relaxing again.

"Being used to pain usually isn't a good thing... but... when I get you free, you won't need the stitches..." Itachi whispered, nuzzling him.

Deidara smiled, nuzzling the Uchiha in return.

"Do you want anything else?" Asked the brunette, referring to the food. It would be much safer to talk about this matter at home.

"Nah, I'm good." He smiled.

"Shall we go home?" Itachi smiled back.

"Sure." Deidara nodded, smiling softly.

Itachi stood, bringing the blond up with him. He paid and left, guiding Deidara back to the car.

The blond followed obediently, still looking around cautiously now and again.

Itachi smiled at Deidara. "Now you're the one who's worried." He opened the car door for the other.

"Not worried. Paranoid." Deidara corrected.

"You shouldn't be... they're just reporters. They fuss my life, try finding bad spots, publish it and stuff..." The Uchiha chuckled, still holding the door open.

"I'm always a bit paranoid." The blond confessed.

"Well... I think it's understandable... but try relaxing now." Itachi hugged Deidara, nuzzling him. "We should go home now..." He smiled.

The blond obeyed, relaxing and closing his eyes. "Yeah... okay."

Itachi held the blond for a moment, before picking him up and seating him in the car, himself entering on the other side and turning it on.

Deidara leaned against the back of the seat, closing his eyes.

The Uchiha smiled, slowly driving home, sometimes looking at Deidara.

The blond fell into a soft sleep, lips parted slightly.

"So cute..." Whispered Itachi, before turning to pay attention to the road. Soon, he parked and exited the car, opening the passenger door and carefully picking up Deidara, taking him up to the room.

The blond murmured something incoherent in his sleep, nuzzling Itachi.

Itachi nuzzled back, setting the blond on the bed and climbing in beside him.

Deidara snuggled up close to the Uchiha, a soft smile on his lips.

Itachi snuggled back, kissing the other's forehead. Then, he heard a knock on the door and groaned, standing and walking over, opening it.

Mikoto smiled. "Hey. You went out for dinner without leaving a note?"

"...Dad knew..." Answered Itachi, whispering.

"He went out as well." She said. "And what's with the whispering?"

"... Dei is asleep, mom." He answered, once again whispering. He knew he'd have some things to explain...

"Dei...?" Mikoto raised an eyebrow. "Who is that?"

Itachi stepped aside, letting her see the blond asleep on the bed.

She smiled softly. "He's so cute."

"He is..." The younger smiled. "I want to talk to you... let's go downstairs."

"Yes, alright." She nodded, moving so the other could exit his room.

Itachi moved out, silently closing the door.

Mikoto took the younger's hand, leading him down into the living room. She sat on the couch, pulling Itachi next to her.

Itachi sighed. "I don't really know what to do with him."

"With your father, you mean?" She ran her hand through Itachi's hair.

"With Dei."

"Oh? And why is that, dear?"

The younger Uchiha bit his lip. "I love him, mom... but I shouldn't."

"It's alright, Ita..." Mikoto said, kissing his cheek. "Love is love."

"Mom... Deidara..." He sighed, leaning against her. "He is forced to be a prostitute by a guy called Pein... I want to save him from that... but I don't know how..."

"Oh... Now that is tricky." She said, wrapping her arms around Itachi. "We could probably influence this 'Pein' to give him to us. If not... we may be able to take down the whole organization."

"Take it down? Go against the Yakuza would be difficult, even for the Uchiha... even for the Emperor himself."

"Yes, but the emperor doesn't have Sharingan." She said. "If need be, we'll destroy the organization in secret."

"Mom..." He smiled. "Things will get complicated anyway, but we could try... we need information for that. But... I want to be able to show Dei what love is..." He whispered.

"How long has he been like this? Does he have a family?" She asked, concerned.

"Since he was 11... and no... not that I know of. He said he doesn't know what love is... he never felt it."

Mikoto frowned. "Then he sure is lucky you of all people found him." She said, nuzzling Itachi.

He nuzzled back, smiling softly. "I want to protect him... and give him a place where he can be safe."

Deidara yawned, blinking. He looked next to him. No Itachi. He slipped out, silently, and over to the stairs, leaning over the banister. He heard Itachi's voice, and that of a woman.

"That place is here. I know your father won't approve, but I'll deal with him." Mikoto said. "Do you know what kinds a food he likes and doesn't?"

"He likes bakudan... and today we ate some inarizushi and onigiri." Said Itachi. "And father really is angry at me because of Dei... but I'm tired of being his prodigy and not a person. I want to live my life now... and have Dei by my side if I can."

"I'll help you in every way I can." Mikoto said, nuzzling him. "And don't worry about Fugaku. I'll handle him. I think that after a while, he'll get used to Dei. And Ita..."

"Yes, mom?" Asked Itachi, nuzzling back.

"Don't hold back in loving him." She instructed, stroking his hair. "And if you ever, ever need someone to talk to... either of you, come to me, alright? I'll always be here for you both. I promise."

"Yeah... thank you." He hugged her, smiling. Then, he sensed someone. "Dei, you can come here if you want to..."

The blond smiled, walking down the stairs and entering the room.

Itachi smiled back at Deidara, pulling him down onto his lap as soon as he was in reach. "Dei, this is mom. Mom... this cute huggable person in my lap is Deidara." He said, nuzzling the blond.

The blond smiled, nuzzling Itachi in return.

Mikoto smiled. "Do you both want some tea?"

Itachi nodded. "Sounds good... Dei?"

"Yeah." He nodded.

"You choose, mom." The younger Uchiha smiled, kissing Deidara's cheek.

"Passion it is!" She smiled. "I should still have some left. Oh! That reminds me!"

"Hm?" Asked Itachi, looking at her.

"Madara-oji is coming from the US soon for a visit." She smiled, standing. "He said he's got souvenirs for you and Sasuke."

"Really?" Itachi's eyes lit up. "I haven't seen sensei in ages..." He smiled. "Maybe I'll get the chance to introduce Dei to him, ne?"

"Probably. He'll be staying here with us for a week or two." She smiled, entering the kitchen.

"Madara? Who's he?" Deidara asked.

The younger Uchiha smiled at Deidara, nuzzling him. "My sensei... and kind of uncle, too. He's in the US for some years already, and he hasn't visited in... I think two years."

"Must be nice to have family to visit you." The blond said, gazing out the window.

Itachi kissed Deidara softly. "It is... and... if you want, we can be your family. I'm sure mom would love that... and I would, too. I want to be by your side... even if for now it's just some times."

A few tears rolled down the blond's cheek, and soon he was sobbing, clinging to Itachi.

The Uchiha held him, stroking his hair. "I'm here, Dei... I promise I won't leave you... I won't leave you..." He whispered, knowing he'd never let Pein keep Deidara from him for too long. No... he'd always bring the blond back here.

"I... I'd completely forgotten... Them... My... my family..." He sobbed harder.

Mikoto rushed in, hearing the blond's sobs. She sat next to them, placing the cups of tea on the table. "What happened?"

"He's... I think he's remembering. We were talking about family." Said Itachi, still stroking the blond's hair, hugging him tight. "Dei..."

"Seishi... Mei..." He sobbed again.

Mikoto frowned. "I see... Dei-chan, try and drink. It'll help."

Itachi pecked the blond's lips, nuzzling him.

After a few minutes, Deidara relaxed, nodding. He wiped his face, taking in a deep breath and releasing it.

The brunette smiled softly, kissing Deidara's forehead. He handed one of the cups to the blond, nodding at him. "It'll make you feel better."

Deidara's eyes widened as he took a sip. "It's... so sweet, un."

"Yes. My uncle brought it from America when he last visited. It's his and Itachi's favorite." Mikoto smiled.

Itachi nodded, taking a sip of his own tea.

The blond drank, closing his eyes. He relaxed, finishing it. "Arigatou..."

"No worries. You're alright now?" Mikoto smiled softly, taking the cup.

"I think so..." He replied.

"Good..." Itachi smiled as well, kissing Deidara's cheek and finishing his own tea.

Deidara opened his eyes again, smiling softly. "Thank you..."

The brunette set down his cup, pecking Deidara's lips. "I love you."

"I..." Deidara hesitated, leaning against the Uchiha. "Itachi... You made me feel something I forgot existed... Happiness."

Itachi smiled, nuzzling the blond. "I'm glad... And I'll make sure you won't forget it again."

"Thank you... Itachi..."

"You don't need to thank me... I want to help... and seeing a smile on your face makes me happy."

Deidara smiled, nuzzling him.

Itachi nuzzled back, smiling.

Mikoto smiled softly, listening as the door opened. "Welcome home, Sasuke." She called.

Sasuke smiled, walking over to her. "Thanks mom. Hi Dei, Itachi." He grinned.

Itachi nodded. "Hey."

Deidara smiled. "Hey, Sasuke-kun."

Mikoto smiled, seeing how the two youngest boys already got along. Then she remembered something. "Oh, Sasuke. Hyuuga Neji-kun will be staying with us for a few weeks. Most of his family is going for a trip, but he wasn't interested. Hiashi-san and I know you two hang out almost constantly, so we decided he'll stay here while they're gone."

"Neji-chan is staying here? Why didn't you say so earlier, mom?" Asked Sasuke, smiling.

"Well, seems like mom is remembering a lot today. Sasu, sensei will be coming form the US..."

"I just got the call a little while ago. You weren't home yet." Mikoto smirked. "He'll also be rooming with you. I know you'll definitely be looking forward to that, Sasuke-chan." She teased.

Sasuke blushed. "Mom!"

Itachi chuckled, shaking his head. "What was the worst situation again, Dei?"

Deidara laughed. "Well, he didn't catch us, so it's not my fault!"

Sasuke turned beet red, and pouted. "At least I'm not uke."

Itachi laughed softly. "At least you admitted."

Mikoto laughed. "Well... I never pictured you as seme to Neji-kun. He's a year older than you, Sasuke. And so mature."

Deidara blinked. "Have you guys done it yet?"

"Mom, I'm seme. I'm Uchiha after all. And... we haven't really done it yet... just almost."

Itachi sighed, chuckling. "Mom is right..."

"You can't know until you've done it." Deidara said. "But you seem seme to me."

"At least Dei knows what I'm talking about." Pouted Sasuke. "I'm seme, seme, seme, seme."

Itachi laughed. "Ok, ok, I got it."

The blond laughed, smiling. "You know, Sasuke-kun, you remind me of my imouto-chan."

"... Why are you comparing me to a girl?" Whined the younger.

He laughed harder. "Because you're acting like one."

Sasuke pouted harder. "Am not!!" Then, his cell phone rang. "Saved by Neji." He muttered, walking away from them to answer.

Itachi smiled, kissing Deidara's neck. "I bet you they're going to do it while they're here."

Mikoto smirked. "Precisely why I'm having them share rooms."

"Hey." Neji greeted. He was sitting on his window sill, looking out at the night sky. "I'm guessing your mom told you?"

"Yeah. And she's saying I'm uke." Answered Sasuke, sighing. "But I'm glad you'll be around. Oh! I have to tell you the news... you know Itachi usually tried to look calm, emotionless and stuff when around people, ne?"

Itachi, not getting the reaction he wanted, continued kissing Dei's neck softly.

Neji laughed. "Yeah. He's pretty friendly once you get to know him, though. That's pretty tough though, since he's usually up in his room studying."

The blond smirked a bit, sighing with content.

Mikoto chuckled, leaving the room. "If you do anything there, clean up!"

"You won't believe what happened, Neji-chan... Aniki has a boyfriend!"

Itachi smirked, sucking on the skin beneath his lips. He was SO going to make Deidara moan.

"Oh, wow!" Neji exclaimed. "Did your mom tell you that we're rooming together? Hinata-sama found out. She won't stop saying how cute it'll be when we finally start dating officially."

A soft moan escaped the blond's lips.

The brunette continued, before moving to attack another spot of Deidara's neck.

"I just want to see which dad we'll have to face for that... I swear, things will go easier if I ask your dad to let you date me than the other way around..." Sasuke sighed. "And while Hinata is talking about cute, mom is talking about us... doing it.... the whole way, when you're here..."

"Ahh..." The blond moaned again.

Neji chuckled. "Girls are so weird." He said. "Well, yeah. Go ahead and ask. You're supposed to come pick me up tomorrow morning anyway."

Itachi smirked, stopping completely. "Mom, aren't those the cutest moans~?"

Sasuke thought for a moment. "Neji... are you completely sure he won't murder us?"

Mikoto laughed. "Yes, they are~!"

"My father, and my uncle? No, they won't. They're more accepting of me than one would think." Neji said. "They already know I'm gay, and they're okay with it. My mother nearly fainted, but she's accepted it, too."

"Dei, you're blushing again." Itachi pointed out. "That makes it three times."

"That is good news, very good news." Chuckled Sasuke. "Tomorrow I'll ask, ok? I just hope dad doesn't murder me for that..."

The blond rolled his eyes.

"Yeah. Okay. Hinata's gonna be screaming so much... She's really opened up a lot near me." Neji said. "She's not so shy anymore. Still shy, but she's much easier to talk to now. I'm glad."

Itachi smiled, licking Deidara's cheek.

"Wow, that's a strange image... Hinata screaming..." Sasuke laughed softly. "Oh God... Neji, save me... I live in an ultra-perverted house."

Deidara smiled, snuggling against the brunette. "Mhm..."

Neji laughed. "Yes, and? You're saying you're not a pervert? I'll believe it when I see it." He teased.

Sasuke whined. "But Itachi is licking his boyfriend right in front of us."

Itachi licked again, snuggling back.

He moaned softly again, chuckling.

"So? Why don't you come over here for the night, then." Neji suggested.

The younger Uchiha hesitated a bit, but when he saw his brother's hands sneaking into Deidara's pants, he nodded. "Sure... I'm going to see if mom can take me there, because Itachi is... kind of busy."

Itachi moved down, once again sucking on Deidara's neck while his hands wandered inside the pants, until finally finding their goal, and stroking it.

Neji laughed again. "Alright. See you soon, Sasuke."

Deidara moaned, closing his eyes.

"See you... Neji-chan. Aishiteru."

Smirking, the brunette stroked faster.

"Aishiterumo, Sasuke." Neji smiled, hanging up.

The blond moaned louder, throwing his head back a bit.

Sasuke put his cell phone away, blushing and looking at his mother instead of the two on the couch. "Mom, can you drive me to Neji's? I'm just going to get some things in my room, then we can go." He said, running up the stairs and not waiting for the answer. He got a small bag, packing a pair of pants, boxers and a shirt. In a small plastic sac he put his toothbrush, then threw that in the bag and went back down.

Itachi kissed Deidara's lips softly, turning him around in his lap so they were chest to chest, and continued stroking.

Mikoto laughed. "Aww, but I don't want to miss this!" She said, smiling.

"Hahh..." He moaned, leaning against the Uchiha, breathing in the strawberry scent.

Itachi undid Deidara's pants, lowering them just a bit and freeing his erection. "You're already so hard..."

Sasuke closed his eyes when he saw the scene. "Mom, can we go? You'll be back in time to see them doing it, it's quick by car."

Deidara groaned. "Uruseiii."

"Yes, yes, alright." She smiled.

Itachi's fingers traced over the cock in his hand, gently teasing. "It's so cute... I want to eat it."

Sasuke ran out the door, waiting for his mother.

"Ahh... N-nani...?" Deidara blinked. He still wasn't used to receiving much of the pleasure, but giving it.

Mikoto followed Sasuke, getting into the car and driving as fast as she could.

"Ack, mom! You want to kill us?"

"No, I want my yaoi." She said, arriving at the Hyuuga mansion. "Git."

Sasuke ran out of the car, taking his bag. "Neji!" He called, poking the doorbell button.

Hinata opened the door, smiling at Sasuke. "He's in the back."

The Uchiha nodded, walking in. "Thanks~!" He ran to the back, soon spotting Neji. "Neji~chan~!"

Neji was laying on the grass, looking up at the stars. He sat up, smiling. "Hey."

Sasuke sat beside him, hugging him. "I missed you. I haven't seen you since... since yesterday!"

Neji laughed, nuzzling the Uchiha. "Yeah? Are you hungry?"

"Depends what kind of hungry you're talking about." Answered Sasuke, smirking and nuzzling back.

Neji rolled his eyes. "See? You ARE a pervert!"

"Your fault for being tasty, Neji-chan." Answered the Uchiha, pushing Neji down and kissing him.

The Hyuuga moaned softly, wrapping his arms around Sasuke and returning the kiss.

Sasuke's hands combed through Neji's long hair, his lips moving against the other's own.

Neji closed his eyes, falling under the Uchiha's spell.

After a while, Sasuke pulled back, smiling softly.

Neji smiled back, then heard a soft squeal. He looked towards the door leading into the house. Hinata was standing there, eyes wide, and blushing madly. Oh yeah; she was officially a yaoi fangirl. Without a word, she ran off inside. Neji blinked, blushing a bit.

The Uchiha chuckled, nuzzling Neji and smiling.

Neji sighed, nuzzling the other in return. "So.. do you want food?"

Sasuke smirked. "That question is better worded than the previous one."

"Yes, I know." Neji said. "I was cautious this time."

Sasuke nodded, lying down on Neji's chest and closing his eyes.

"So? Answer me, Uchiha." Neji ordered, wrapping his arms around the younger boy.

"Nyah... no. I want to sleep."

"Alright." Neji smiled. He closed his eyes, enjoying the soft, cool breeze.

Sasuke's breathing slowed down, and he fell asleep.

It wasn't long before the Hyuuga fell into sleep as well.

~Meanwhile at the Uchiha Mansion~

Pushing the blond back onto the couch, Itachi took the member into his mouth and sucked hard.

Deidara moaned loudly, arching his back.

Itachi repeated the action, and managed to take the pants completely off Deidara while he did that.

The blond panted, moaning loudly again.

The brunette pulled his mouth back, before lowering it again and licking his uke's length as if it were a lollipop.

"Ah~ Itachi~"

"Tasty..." Whispered Itachi, continuing his actions.

"Ahhh...~" The blond whined, squirming a bit. This all felt so good!

The Uchiha sucked softly on the head, then went back to licking.

Deidara moaned again, squirming more.

"Dei-chan... what do you want?"

"Ahh... I want... you to fuck me, un..." He moaned.

"Hmm... where?"

"I-I don't care, un..."

Itachi smirked, moving up and kissing the blond.

Deidara kissed back, wrapping his arms around Itachi.

Itachi broke the kiss, smiling at Deidara. He put three fingers to the blond's lips, nodding.

Deidara grunted, knowing he didn't need the preparation, but doing as ordered anyway.

Itachi rolled his eyes, chuckling. "I will prepare you, always, and I have to add... you look cute sucking the fingers."

Deidara blushed slightly, finished with the fingers. "Why, un? I don't need it."

"Because I don't want to risk hurting you." Answered the Uchiha, kissing him again and thrusting a finger into the blond's entrance.

"Ah... You shouldn't worry about that." The blond smiled.

"Dei..." Itachi bit the blond's lips softly, thrusting the finger in and out.

The blond moaned softly, closing his eyes.

Itachi thrust a second finger in, smiling. "And you enjoy this as well."

"Ah... I do." He agreed.

"Then let me do it... I want to make you enjoy this..." Itachi whispered seductively. "I want to make you reach the sky, and I want to make you feel more pleasure than you ever have felt."

"To reach Cloud 9, then, ah?" He moaned.

"As high as you can go with pleasure." The Uchiha thrust another finger inside him.

Deidara moaned again, arching his back slightly. "Ah... that place... mou ikkai..."

The Uchiha smirked, rubbing the spot he found.

The blond gasped, moaning loudly. "Aahh!"

Itachi continued rubbing and thrusting his fingers into his lover's prostate, while claiming his lips for a kiss. Then, he noticed what he had thought. Lover. That was what he wanted Deidara to be, his lover, his boyfriend, his. But he didn't know if the blond would want that.

Deidara kissed back, tightening the grip around the Uchiha.

Itachi broke the kiss too soon, smiling down at the blond while his fingers continued.

"Hah..." The blond panted, moaning again.

The Uchiha sucked on one of Deidara's nipples while fingering him. "How are you feeling?"

"Ah... s-so good, un...!!"

"I'm glad..." The brunette kissed Deidara again, removing his fingers. "How do you want it, Dei?"

"Ah... Not... picky..."

Itachi licked the blond's cheeks, pulling away from him and standing up.

"...?"

"I can't take you while being fully dressed, now can I?" He purred, slowly taking of his shirt, doing some sexy moves, and staring at Deidara with both love and lust in his eyes. One day, the blond would be his... or so he hoped.

"Ah... I'd forgotten..."

Itachi removed his pants in slow, seductive motions, teasing not only the blond but himself as well.

Deidara blushed, realizing how badly he wanted the other inside of him.

The Uchiha finally dropped pants and boxers to the floor, climbing over Deidara. "So cute... Dei-chan..." He purred, kissing Deidara's cheek.

"Maa, hayaku..." The blond complained.

"I wouldn't make you wait more..." Itachi positioned himself between Deidara's legs, slowly entering.

"Ahh..." He moaned, closing his eyes again.

"Dei..." The Uchiha slowly thrust in and out, closing his own eyes. He leaned down, whispering in the blond's ear. "I love you..."

Deidara moaned again, wrapping his legs around the Uchiha.

Setting a slow, gentle but satisfying pace, Itachi moaned softly.

"Ah... I-Itachi..." He moaned.

"You're so beautiful..." The Uchiha whispered, nibbling on his earlobe. 'If only I had the courage to ask you...'

Deidara moaned again, arching his back more.

Itachi buried his face in Deidara's soft hair, kissing his shoulder.

"Ahnn... Ha-hayaku..."

"Shh... let me show you something..." He angles his thrusts, so every one of the slow movements would strike Deidara's prostate, and made sure the blond found out the pleasure he could get in doing it gently... and yet pleasurably.

Deidara moaned loudly, partially in surprise. "A-again... please..."

Smiling, Itachi continued hitting that same spot over and over.

The blond's moans increased, and he clung tight to the Uchiha.

The brunette held Deidara in his arms and continued the same movements, moving to kiss the blond gently.

Deidara returned the kiss, being taken away by the thoughts of pleasure he was receiving.

Closing his eyes, Itachi deepened the kiss, and one of his hands slid down the blond's belly, naval, and slowly stroked his cock.

The blond moaned erotically into the brunette's mouth, getting closer to climax.

The Uchiha felt Deidara was close, and broke the kiss. He smiled softly, moaning and moving his hand faster on the blond's member.

"Ahh... I-iku...!"

"Hm... Dei..." Moaned Itachi, continuing his thrusting until he felt a hot substance on his chest and stomach. He groaned softly, moaning his uke's name and releasing into him.

Deidara moaned, arching his back and releasing. He panted, moaning again when he felt the Uchiha's essence enter him.

Itachi nuzzled the blond, panting softly. "We... should go upstairs..." He whispered. "I'll clean this mess later."

Mikoto ran in, and sweat dropped. "I MISSED THE WHOLE THING?!"

Itachi smirked. "Sorry mom." He took Deidara in his arms, going upstairs and into his room. "I think we should have a bath, ne?"

"I-iyo!!" The blond said suddenly, then stopped himself from saying any more. "N-never mind... If you wish to... lets..."

Itachi saw the other's frightened reaction, and grew worried. "Dei, what's wrong?"

"Iie... it's nothing, really." He lied, forcing himself to appear relaxed.

The Uchiha sat on the bed, bringing the other onto his lap. "Dei... you can tell me. But if you don't want to, it's ok." He smiled sweetly.

"It's nothing, really." The blond assured.

"Deidara..." Itachi kissed the blond's forehead. "I don't know what made you so nervous, but I'd never make you say it if you don't want to... but I know it's something."

"Just a memory... I'm fine now." He lied again, though kept his calm facade.

"Please don't lie... you can choose not to say it, but don't lie." The Uchiha smiled softly, lying down on the bed and hugging Deidara close to him.

"Ore..." He hesitated. He wanted to be clean again, but... Was it worth it? Was Itachi really different from them?

"Yes, Dei?" Asked the Uchiha, smiling softly.

"I'm alright with it." He said, truthfully.

"Are you sure?" Itachi kissed the other's cheek.

"...Aa."

The brunette stood picking Deidara up carefully and nuzzling him. He opened the door to his own bathroom, setting Deidara on a chair beside the bathtub. He smiled softly, turning on the water and making sure it was at a good, warm temperature.

Deidara stared at the water, swallowing hard. He trusted Itachi, but... was that a good thing? 'I love you...' Those words... Yes, it was good to trust him.

Once the bathtub was full, Itachi smiled, stopping the water from running. "You can go in first if you want... I'll get us some towels."

"... Ano... You first...?"

"Ah, sure. Just a second, let me get the towels." The Uchiha left the bathroom, quickly returning with two towels. He set them on a towel holder, and slowly stepped into the bath.

Deidara watched, staring at the water. Memories flooded back to him, and he failed to notice the stream of tears running down his face.

Itachi's smile fell, and he stood, hugging the blond. "Shh... Don't cry. It's ok, we don't need to have a bath if you don't want to."

The blond clung to the other. "I can't... force them out of my head..."

"What, Dei? The memories?" Asked the Uchiha, stroking his hair softly.

"A-aa..."

"Shh... I'm here, its ok."

Deidara tightened his grip on the Uchiha, closing his eyes tight.

Itachi continued stroking his hair, before carefully picking him up, sitting down in the bathtub with the blond on his lap. He hugged him, hoping this would calm him.

The blond gasped slightly, but slowly relaxed. The warm water calmed him, and he let out the breath he didn't know he'd been holding.

The Uchiha smiled softly, holding Deidara close. "See? It's ok..." He kissed the blond's cheek, nuzzling him.

Deidara opened his eyes, leaning against the Uchiha. "A-arigatou..."

Itachi nodded. "You're welcome..." He whispered, stroking the blond's hair softly. Then, he took a sponge and soap, rubbing them together and putting down the soap. He smiled, wetting said sponge and slowly washing Deidara's chest and back, being sure not to make him uncomfortable.

A soft sigh escaped the blond's lips. The feeling of Itachi washing him in such a matter calmed him even further.

The Uchiha continued slowly washing Deidara, before finally setting down the sponge and washing the soap off him.

Deidara moaned softly, snuggling close against the Uchiha. "Ah... "

Smiling, Itachi kissed the blond's forehead and hugged him close, the other hand still washing him gently. Then, he took a small cup-like bowel and filled it with water, slowly wetting Deidara's hair.

Deidara smiled a bit, closing his eyes again.

The brunette kissed Deidara softly, his hands gently combing through the blond locks, applying shampoo onto them.

"Nhn..." He thought back to when he was a small child, smiling at the memory.

Itachi felt the other's smile against his lips and smiled himself. After a moment, he broke the kiss and nuzzled Deidara. "You look so cute like that, Dei." He chuckled softly, seeing the blond hair full of white shampoo bubbles.

"Urusei..."

"Come on, let's wash this off, then." Itachi chuckled. "Close your eyes and lean your head frontwards."

The blond closed his eyes, obeying the Uchiha.

Itachi took the same bowel from earlier, filling it with water. "Don't open your eyes until I say so." He whispered softly, pouring the water onto the blond's head and washing away the shampoo. He repeated that some times, until it was all off, and then smiled. "Done."

Deidara opened his eyes, nuzzling the Uchiha.

Itachi nuzzled back, smiling. "Now, hair conditioner..." He reached for a bottle of the product, pouring some onto his hands and once again combing them through Deidara's hair.

Another soft moan escaped the blond's lips.

"So cute..." He whispered, wrapping his arms around Deidara's waist.

"Ah... arigatou..." The blond whispered.

"Don't thank me so much, Dei..." The Uchiha pecked his lips softly, rinsing the hair conditioner form Deidara's hair.

"I can't help it..." He said, smiling.

Itachi smiled back, pecking his lips again. "Dei... I have something I'd like to ask... but I'm not sure if I should just yet."

"What is it, Itachi?" The blond asked, smiling softly.

"Dei, when... when you're free... would you like to stay with me?"

Deidara thought about it, closing his eyes. "After... I find two people."

"Can I help you, Dei? Are you talking about the ones you said earlier... Seishi and Mei?"

"Yeah." The blond nodded. "My aniki and imouto."

Itachi smiled softly. "I'll help you find them. Maybe... maybe I can search those names on the list of Japanese citizens. If they're there, it would make it much easier. My father has access to the whole file, and so does my mother."

"Would it tell us where they are if they aren't in Japan?"

"If they're on the list, yes, as long as they are registered as Japanese."

"Good." Deidara smiled. "That would help a lot, then."

The Uchiha smiled back, kissing the blond's lips. "I'm glad I can help."

The blond smiled, parting his lips slightly.

Itachi kissed him deeply, closing his eyes. 'Maybe... I should ask...'

Deidara moaned softly, wrapping his arms around the Uchiha's neck.

The Uchiha held the blond close, making sure to put his love into the kiss... to make Deidara feel loved, even if he didn't completely understand that yet.

The blond's eyes closed, and he felt that emotion again; happiness.

Itachi slowly moved his tongue against Deidara's own, caressing it.

Deidara moaned, running his hand through the raven locks.

The Uchiha moaned back, slowly breaking the kiss. "I love you..."

"Ah..." The blond opened his eyes again, smiling.

Itachi smiled back, nuzzling Deidara.

The blond grabbed the soap, rubbing it against the sponge and rubbed it against the Uchiha's chest. "You're still not clean yet, un."

Itachi chuckled, nodding and letting the blond help him wash.

The blond continued to wash the Uchiha, then took the bowl and poured it over the brunette's head and smiled.

The Uchiha blinked as water splashed down his face, then he laughed softly and pecked Deidara's cheek.

Deidara chuckled, taking some shampoo and massaging it into the Uchiha's hair.

Itachi moaned softly, knowing the hair was one of his weak spots.

The blond smirked, making sure he'd remember such a reaction. He made sure his hair was cleaned. He tilted the brunette's head back, pouring some water onto his head.

Itachi noticed the smirk, and knew he'd have to hide his other weak spots soon. He chuckled softly, relaxing more as the water dripped through his hair.

Deidara continued to rinse the Uchiha's hair. Then he added the conditioner and rinsed that out as well.

The Uchiha moaned softly, pulling Deidara into a kiss when he was done. "Seems like you found a weak spot, ne?" He whispered, chuckling.

"Aa, and I plan to find others, too." The blond smirked.

"Well, I guess I'll have to find yours, too." Itachi smirked back, nuzzling him.

"Not hard to do, un." The blond nuzzled back.

"Well, I don't think you'll find my other weak spots too soon." Chuckled the Uchiha, licking his cheek.

The blond smirked. "Well, we'll see how long it takes, un."

"Hm, we'll see that... but for now..." Itachi smiled. "We should go back into the bedroom before we shrink in the water."

"Aa..." He chuckled.

The Uchiha stood, taking off the small piece of rubber that held the water in the tub, then picking up Deidara he stepped out of the tub. "Here..." He set the blond on his feet and gave him a towel, taking another for himself.

Deidara wrapped the towel around himself, sighing in comfort. "It's so soft, un!"

"It is..." Itachi smiled, drying himself slowly.

The blond dried himself, bending over and draping the towel over his head. He twisted it around his hair and stood up.

Itachi chuckled. "Come on... we should get dressed." He said, not bothering with his hair. He liked it to dry naturally, and his hairstylist said it was good, so that was fine. He just couldn't sleep with it wet.

"Aa." Deidara smiled. He couldn't stand it when his hair was wet and the rest of him was dry, it just annoyed him. He would never use a blow-dryer, oh no. His hair was strong enough that using the towel wouldn't do harm to it.

Itachi pulled the blond into his room, smiling and grabbing some clothes for the both of them.

Deidara looked out the window, staring up at the stars.

The Uchiha smiled, wrapping his arms around Deidara's waist while holding the clothes. "We can watch the starts soon... you should get dressed, we don't want you getting a cold."

"Ah, right." He smiled, nuzzling the Uchiha before dressing himself.

Itachi nuzzled back, putting on boxers and a pair of pants, not bothering to use a shirt now. He used his towel to take the excess of water off his hair, then just let it fall loose on his back.

The blond finished putting on his pants, then released his hair from the towel, letting it fall down his back half dry.

The Uchiha sat on his bed, looking at Deidara while he dressed.

The blond looked over to the Uchiha, sitting on his lap. "Stars?"

Itachi smiled. "Outside... I want to show you something."

Deidara nodded, standing and pulling the brunette to his feet.

Itachi nuzzled the blond, leading him downstairs. Instead of going through the front door, he took him through the kitchen, out another door. There was a giant garden, with lots of flowers, and in the middle big place, with swimming pool, a table, some chairs and a sword-training area, a place for cooking, and much more. He smiled when he saw a big shadow, like of a giant cat, walking towards them.

Deidara jumped, going behind the Uchiha. "Wh-what is that?!"

Itachi smiled softly. "She won't hurt you." A black panther was what it was, and she walked towards them, sitting in front of Itachi and staring at Deidara.

"She wont...?" He asked, poking his head out to look at the giant cat. "What's her name?"

The Uchiha hugged Deidara, nuzzling him. "It's Hana. Since her cub days, she loves flowers, so we named her that."

"Hana-chan, ka...?"

"Yes..." Itachi smiled, letting go of the blond and kneeling on the floor. He petted the panther softly, making her purr. She was still looking at Deidara, as if questioning. "Hana, this is Deidara." He chuckled, answering her question.

Deidara kneeled, reaching out is hand slowly, for her to sniff.

Hana seemed to hesitate a moment, but she could see that Itachi trusted this person. Slowly, she sniffed his hand, looking up into his eyes. Then, she purred softly, licking his cheek.

"She likes you, Dei." Chuckled Itachi, petting her.

Deidara relaxed, smiling. He stroked the panther's fur, laughing softly.

She purred more, closing her eyes and leaning against the touch. Itachi smiled, glad to see Deidara wasn't afraid anymore.

"She's so cute!" Deidara said, hugging Hana gently.

The Uchiha nodded, and the panther nuzzled the blond's chest.

"How'd you get her? She reminds me of... Heh..." He smiled, closing his eyes and nuzzling the feline.

"The police were rescuing animals from criminals who wanted to sell them illegally... Her mother was expecting her then, and she was one of those animals. We could rescue them in time... some of the animals were very hurt, and many died, but we could save many, too. Her mother died right after she was born, but we saved her. She couldn't be given back to nature, so my family took her in." Explained Itachi, petting her softly. "I'm glad we could save her."

"I am too... I think I knew her mother..." The blond said, nuzzling Hana more.

The Uchiha looked at him questioningly. "How?" He asked, curious.

"When I was little... Mei brought home a panther cub with a white paw. After Pein found us... He sold her to the mafia." Deidara explained. "I later heard that they'd been caught by the police."

"It was her, then... I even remember commenting on it, it's very unusual for a black panther to have a white paw..." Itachi smiled softly. "If only the police had gotten deeper into that case, we probably could have Pein arrested a long time ago."

"Heh, and I'd be dead." Deidara said. "Pein said if he was caught... if any of them were caught, I'd pay for it."

The Uchiha hugged the blond softly. "Deidara, do you trust me... to capture Pein... and free you?" He asked, smiling softly. "I will not let you die this way."

Hana tilted her head to the side, understanding that the blond might get hurt. She licked his cheek again, nuzzling him.

"I... trust you." Deidara said, looking at the Uchiha. "I trust you."

Itachi nodded, pecking the blond's lips. "I'm glad. I will not break your trust." He smiled when the panther made a soft sound, as if a whine. "Dei's going to be ok, Hana, don't worry." He said, petting her softly.

"Everything will be okay... I'm glad that Yumiko made it here..." The blond said.

The Uchiha nodded. "It seems like things are getting better, ne? Soon Dei will be free... and tomorrow Neji comes over here, probably with Sasu as his official boyfriend, next week Madara-sensei will be here... I'm sure Hashirama-sama will be glad to see him again." Just at the mention of Madara's name, the panther purred. He always brought her good food.

"Hashirama-sama...? The...?" Deidara blinked.

Itachi chuckled, nodding. "The Emperor. Madara-sensei is known as his best friend, even though their ideas are not the same at times."

"Oh? Wow." The blond smiled.

"Yeah... When those two fight the best thing to do is escape." Itachi laughed softly.

"I would imagine so." Deidara laughed.

The Uchiha smiled, reminding himself to take Deidara into the swimming pool next time he brought him here. "It's funny, actually. To see sensei and Hashirama-sama loosing their temper... even if last time they had to rebuilt the royal room..."

"Oh my... They must be strong." The blond noted.

"Well, Madara is the strongest of the Uchiha, and Hashirama-sama is the Emperor, therefore having to know how to defend himself... so yes, too strong." He chuckled.

"Kowai." The blond said.

"Not much..." Itachi smiled. "Come on..." He stood, waiting for the blond. "I want to show you around here."

"Aa." Deidara stood up, smiling.

Itachi took his hand, leading him up some stone blocks, and soon they were standing in front of the swimming pool and area. He led the blond through the place, taking him to a grassy area, surrounded with flowers. Hana followed close behind.

The blond looked around, smiling softly. "This place is beautiful."

"I know... and here you can clearly see the stars." Itachi smiled back, hugging him and pecking his lips, making the panther beside them tilt her head.

Deidara smiled, looking up at the sky. "Aa... so pretty."

The Uchiha nuzzled the blond, before letting go and lying down. "It's easier to see like this."

The blond laid next to Itachi, snuggling close. He stared up at the sky, sighing contently.

Itachi smiled, wrapping an arm around the blond and looking at the stars above them. "I usually come back here to think when I'm troubled... or when I want some peace." He chuckled. "Dad doesn't come back here; Hana doesn't like him at all, so it's like... a place to escape all troubles."

"Beautiful... un..."

"Yeah... but I think today this place is even more beautiful..." Whispered Itachi, chuckling softly when Hana imitated them, lying down to watch the stars.

"Heh..." The blond closed his eyes, slowly falling asleep.

Itachi sighed softly, he was hoping Deidara to stay awake and not make him wake him up later. Maybe he could be kind and let the blond sleep... he'd try carrying him back later. Slowly, without really noticing, he also fell asleep.

~Next morning~

Birds started tweeting, and Deidara slowly opened his eyes. "Nhn...?"

Itachi felt movement in his arms, and his own eyes cracked open. They met with light. He immediately shut them again. After a moment, he tried once more, and managed to keep them open. "Dei..."

"So bright, un... I wish the sun would stay down." The blond murmured, burying his face in the Uchiha's chest.

"I wish so, too." Itachi smiled softly. "Shouldn't we go back inside? I think that after skipping lunch yesterday, a good breakfast would be a wise choice." He chuckled.

"Yeah." Deidara nodded, yawning cutely.

The Uchiha kissed his cheek, picking him up and standing.

Deidara chuckled. "You like to carry me, ka?"

"Yes~ because you're so cute, and adorably calm around here. Also, there are many adorable little things you do and say, that just make me want to hold you in my arms all the time. Like now." He answered, really noticing he was quite talkative around Deidara, when compared to before.

"Kawaii, ka? Like what, un?"

"Like that 'un' of yours." Itachi smiled, kissing Deidara's forehead. "And when you blush, and close your eyes, or look curious... too many things to list."

Deidara laughed softly. "You're strange. I like it, un."

"That makes me happy~." The Uchiha kissed the blond's cheek again, chuckling.

The blond smiled, closing his eyes and letting the Uchiha carry him.

Itachi also smiled, taking the other into the house and sitting down at the table, where his mother had already made breakfast. He nuzzled Deidara, who was in his lap. "Mom, why did you make so much for breakfast? Sasu and Neji aren't even here yet..."

"They're to be here within the hour or it goes to the homeless." Mikoto replied. She looked up, blinking. "Did you do it again in the garden or something?"

"Mom! We were just watching the stars, and fell asleep." Itachi nuzzled the blond softly. "I don't want to exhaust Dei or anything... and also, there's Hana out there, we don't want her with a trauma."

Mikoto laughed. "Ah, yes of course."

Deidara chuckled. "It's really hard to wear me out, by the way, un."

"Hmm~ but I bet I can do it." Answered Itachi, smirking.

"Oh, not that it hasn't been done." The blond assured. "It's just hard."

"Dei~ I can wear you out in a good way... really good... and make you enjoy every second of it..." He whispered. "And if we don't stop talking, my mind is going to work on my words and bring me a problem. That will be hard."

Deidara laughed, smiling. "Alright, alright."

"Well, I certainly wouldn't complain." Mikoto smirked.

Itachi rolled his eyes. "Yeah, but today our plans are not sex. We're going out to the park."

"Ah, alright." The woman smiled.

Chuckling, Itachi nuzzled Deidara. "Anyway, should we wait for the little ones or can we eat?"

"You go ahead. Eat and be on your way, dears." Mikoto said, giving a warm smile.

Itachi smirked, grabbing a strawberry and dipping it in some chocolate sauce. Yes, his mother made chocolate sauce for breakfast. Well... actually, she made it for a cake that he could smell form the oven, but she had left him a cup of it, seeing as he loved it. Smiling, he fed Deidara the strawberry.

Deidara ate the sweetness of his favorite fruit, some chocolate left on the corner of his mouth.

The Uchiha smiled, licking the left chocolate away and kissing Deidara.

Mikoto laughed. "You are such a cute couple!"

Itachi froze, blushing softly and looking at Deidara. What would he think of those words?

Deidara smiled, chuckling. "We are, now, huh?"

Itachi also smiled, nuzzling the blond. "Couple..." He whispered, thinking.

Deidara nuzzled the Uchiha in return, eating another strawberry dipped in chocolate.

Itachi ate a strawberry himself, sighing contently. "Mom, what kind of cake are you making?"

"Vanilla with chocolate layers." She replied, grinning.

Licking his lips, Itachi smiled. "We're leaving the house only after that is ready." He said, chuckling. Then, he took another strawberry, observing what else was on the table.

"You like cake, huh, Itachi?" The blond smiled.

"Yeah, I like sweets... not all of them, but all of the good sweets." He answered, grinning.

"What sweets aren't good, un?"

"That gross thing Sensei brought last time he came, some kinds of jelly, white chocolate."

"White chocolate? I hate the stuff, un." Deidara chuckled.

"Mizu yokan was the jelly, dear. And Madara-oji is a good cook but... even I didn't like that stuff." Mikoto said, laughing.

Itachi chuckled, closing his eyes. "Mom, did you tell Hashi-sama about Sensei's visit? Knowing him, he wouldn't tell him personally."

"Hashirama-sama is aware, yes. I slipped him a copy of the email Madara-oji sent me," She snickered. "It said specifically, 'DO NOT SEND THIS TO HASHIRAMA.'"

Itachi laughed. "Typical, not letting his lover know." He said, chuckling. "I wonder what would happen if this relationship of theirs leaked out to the media..."

"Don't know." Mikoto replied. "They don't even call it a 'relationship.' Both claim they're just 'friends.' Really, really, 'close' friends."

"But they do love each other... heh..." Itachi smiled. "I've seen Sensei blushing around him, too..."

"That they do. Hashirama-sama's amazing at making him blush." Mikoto giggled.

Itachi chuckled, nuzzling Deidara. "And I manage to make Dei blush."

Deidara rolled his eyes. "Uh-huuuuh..."

The brunette pecked his lovers' lips, smiling. Yeah, it was ok to call Deidara that. "I do."

"So?" He smiled.

"You had said before that you never blush. So it's a good thing that I make you blush a lot." Teased Itachi, nuzzling him again. "Right, mom?"

"Yes, very." She said.

"See, Dei?" Itachi licked the blond's neck, smiling.

The blond moaned softly.

The brunette repeated the action, successfully getting a blush to spread over Deidara's cheeks. "You are too cute..."

The blond groaned. "Meanie!"

"Hmm? What did I do, Dei-koi?" He asked, blinking and taking the other's lips in a kiss.

"Not cute." He murmured against the brunette's lips.

"You are so..." Itachi smiled. "My cute Dei-chan." He whispered softly, pecking Deidara's lips.

The blond rolled his eyes, smiling a bit.

The Uchiha nuzzled his lover, hiding his face in the blonds' hair. "Sasuke and Neji shouldn't take too long, ne?"

"Hope not, un."

~Meanwhile~

Neji felt a hand on his shoulder, shaking him. He opened his eyes, to see Hinata there. "Nn... is it morning already?" He asked. She smiled and nodded. He turned, seeing Sasuke still sleeping and nudged him. "Wake up, Uchiha."

Sasuke yawned, slowly opening his eyes. "Tomato?"

"No, Sasuke-kun." Hinata tried not to laugh. "You guys are supposed to eat at your house."

Neji sat up, rolling his eyes. "Ikuze, baka."

The Uchiha blinked, taking some moments to come out of his sleepy state, which Itachi called sleep-drunk state. "Uh... before we go... we need to talk to them, ne?"

"Aa. My stuff is already packed." Neji said. "Hinata, could you get it for me and meet us out front with it?" He asked.

"Of course, Nii-san!" She smiled, walking off into the house.

Sasuke sighed nervously. "Neji, are you sure they'll be ok with... us?" He asked, biting his lip.

"Sasuke, if they're okay with me being gay, they'll be fine with us." He said, wrapping his arms around the Uchiha's neck and nuzzling him.

Sasuke nuzzled back, relaxing a bit. "We should go tell them... as soon as I fix my hair."

"Yeah, mine to. We both need to brush." Neji said, chuckling.

The Uchiha also chuckled, taking some hair gel from his bag. He didn't need much... just brush his hair and put some gel to keep it up.

"Chicken-butt." Neji teased as he stole Sasuke's brush, running it through his own hair.

"... You're just like Aniki sometimes." Chuckled Sasuke. "But it's duck-butt." He laughed softly, spiking his hair properly as the well-known duck-butt. "There."

"Aa, aa. Anyway, ikuze." He said, handing the brush back to Sasuke. For now, Neji would leave his hair down and free.

The Uchiha put the brush away, pecking Neji's lips. "I just hope everything goes right once dad finds out... if only Itachi were straight, then he'd have no problem with it..."

"Oh? How did you come across that conclusion, Sasuke?" The Hyuuga asked.

"He wants heirs, Neji. If Itachi had any chance of liking women, he'd get one pregnant one day. But with both of us gay, dad looses that."

"Ah... I see." The brunette nodded, pulling the Uchiha to his feet. "Ikuze."

"Yeah." Sasuke smiled softly, walking out of the room with Neji. They went to the living room, where Hiashi and Hizashi were talking. "Uh... Hizashi-san..."

"Oji-sama, Tousan." Neji spoke to them, as the both looked up. "May we speak with you both?"

"Of course, Neji, Sasuke-kun." Hizashi nodded.

Hiashi, like his brother, nodded. "What is the matter?" He asked, seeing that the Uchiha was nervous.

Sasuke blinked before finally saying something. "Well... I would... I'd like to ask if... if..." He took in a deep breath, trying to calm himself. "If you would allow Neji to date me...?"

Neji observed their faces, then smiled. "We really like each other... So, can we?"

Hizashi smiled softly. "I don't see why not... Nii-sama?"

Hiashi nodded, smiling. "If you really feel drawn towards each other, its fine. Also, Sasuke-kun is a good person."

The Uchiha sighed, relieved. "Thank you, Hiashi-san, Hizashi-san. I promise to take care of Neji." He nodded, giving a small smile.

Neji smiled. "Arigatou, Oji-sama, Tousan."

"Anyway... who is taking you two to Uchiha-san's house? Sasuke-kun still doesn't have a license, neither do you, Neji." Hiashi chuckled softly. "Last time Sasuke-kun tried driving, I heard he crashed Itachi-san's car against the police station."

Neji laughed. "It's not too far away, we could walk. Unless we're offered a ride?"

"Well..." Hiashi looked at his brother. "What do you think, Hizashi? Should we let them walk?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes, blushing at the memory of crashing Itachi's car. His brother was so angry...

"I think so. Only if Hinata-chan goes with them, though." He chuckled.

Neji rolled his eyes, smiling. "Haha, Tousan, very funny."

The Uchiha chuckled. "I can keep him safe on a walk, I don't think bodyguards are needed." He smirked softly at Neji.

"Yes, well, go ahead." Hizashi smiled.

Hiashi nodded. "And be careful not to loose breakfast."

Sasuke smiled. "Well, we should go then." He wrapped an arm around Neji's waist. "Let's go?"

"Aa, ikuze." Neji smiled. He waved goodbye to the two older Hyuugas as they left the room.

The Uchiha walked with Neji until the door, where he looked at the bags. Only two bags, he could carry those. Smiling, he picked them up. "Mom is probably filling the table with sweets, but I hope she made me something salty..."

"You and your foods." Neji rolled his eyes. "Anyway, I'd like something sweet."

Sasuke chuckled. "If Itachi and Deidara don't eat all sweets, you'll have something left."

"Well, let's hope." The Hyuuga smiled.

The Uchiha nodded, looking ahead as they walked. Soon, they were close to the house, and he could smell something sweet. "Mom is making cake, I think... by the smell. And also... chicken pie!"

"Mm! That smells good!" Neji smiled.

"Yeah... at least the pie does. The cake is too sweet." Sasuke chuckled, and in some moments they were at the gate. He handed one of the bags to Neji, using the now-free hand to unlock the gate and step to the side for his now-official boyfriend to enter.

Neji rolled his eyes, entering and pulling Sasuke along behind him.

The Uchiha closed the gate before walking into the house with Neji. "We're home!" He announced, leading the Hyuuga to the kitchen. Itachi and Deidara were being all fluffy in their chair. 'Eww.' He thought, chuckling.

Neji smiled. "So, that's him?" He asked, motioning to Deidara.

"Welcome home, boys!" Mikoto smiled, patting both on the head.

"Mom! I just spiked my hair!" Whined Sasuke, seeing his spikes fall down a bit. Great.

Itachi laughed softly. "Hello outouto, Neji." He nuzzled Deidara. "Dei, that's Hyuuga Neji, Sasu's boyfriend. Neji, this is Deidara."

"Oh, relax, Sasuke." She said. "Sit and eat, you two."

Deidara smiled. "Hi, un."

"Hey." Neji smiled back.

Sasuke took a seat in front of Itachi, leaving the one beside him to Neji. He looked around, noticing the only thing close to not-sweet on the table was an apple. The pie was not ready yet.

Itachi sighed contently, kissing Deidara's neck. "Mom, is the cake ready?"

"Almost, love." Ding. "And now it is." She smiled, placing it on the table.

The blond moaned softly, smiling.

Neji sat next to the Uchiha, staring at the cake. "Looks delish!"

Sasuke chuckled. "Mom, can I have a piece of pie?"

Itachi smiled softly, cutting a piece of cake and putting it on his plate, picking up a small piece with the fork and feeding it to Deidara, before having a small slice himself.

"Yes, dear." She smiled, placing a piece in front of Sasuke.

The blond nomed it, smiling. "Mm!"

Sasuke took the pie, eating his piece slowly. "Hm... delicious, mom." He smiled, eating more.

The older of the Uchiha brothers finished his piece of cake, taking another piece, this time smaller. "The cake is also very good."

Mikoto grinned.

Neji took some of the cake, eating it. "It's really good, Uchiha-san!"

"Mhm, it is." Deidara agreed.

After Itachi was done with his second piece, he rested his head on the blonds' shoulder and smiled. "You two seem happy... something happen today?"

"Oji-sama and Tousan agreed to let us date." Neji said.

Mikoto smiled. "That's wonderful!

Itachi nodded, smiling. "Good. I have no idea why Sasuke was so nervous about talking to them." He chuckled softly. "For our luck, dad left to work on a case and will only come back tomorrow night..." He pecked Deidara's cheek. "I hope one day he understands better... I don't like to stay fighting all the time."

Sasuke nodded, finishing his pie.

"Yeah... Well, I think he'll ease up one day." Neji said, nomming more cake.

Itachi smiled softly. "Let's hope so... maybe Madara-sensei can help on that. I can't stand the way dad treats Dei..." He nuzzled the blond.

Deidara purred softly, smiling.

Itachi sighed contently. "Well... things will get better, soon. Dei-chan, would you like to go soon? I'm sure you'll like to visit the park."

"Huh? You're already leaving?" Sasuke pouted. "Anyway... when is Deidara coming here again, Aniki?" He asked, already feeling friendly towards the blond. He was fun, even if he was all lovey-dovey with Itachi in front of everyone.

Deidara chuckled. "Soon, I'm sure."

"Next week." Answered the older of the brothers, smiling. "I'll try getting him here the day Sensei arrives, that would be fun."

Deidara smiled. "Sounds good, un."

Itachi nodded. "Also... I can't stay without Dei too long." He smiled, pecking Deidara's lips. "Anyway~ to the park?"

"Yeah." The blond smiled.

The brunette slowly stood, holding Deidara bridal style. "Well, good day to you three~ we'll be back by the afternoon, before Dei leaves."

Sasuke nodded. "Don't do anything too explicit in public, Aniki."

Deidara rolled his eyes. "Same to you, Sasuke-kun, un."

Itachi chuckled. "Don't worry~ I won't do anything in public. We'll have time for that once we come back from the park..." He smirked softly, taking Deidara out of the kitchen and to the car.

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "As if Neji let me do something with mom around..."

Neji rolled his eyes, grabbing Sasuke's ass. "Oh? You think I'm shy, Uchiha?"

Rolling his eyes, for they could hear the others from where they were, Itachi sat on the driver's seat and smiled at Deidara. "I think we should go before we hear anything we shouldn't."

"Oh? And why is that?" Neji asked.

Deidara laughed, nodding. "Aa, un!"

"You're uke!" Answered Sasuke, pouting. "Ukes should be shy~."

"Then let's go." Smirking softly at the last thing he heard from Sasuke, Itachi started the car and calmly drove to the park. And away from whatever his brother and Neji could come to do in the kitchen.

"Heh. Maybe some, but not all." Neji said, rolling his eyes.

Sasuke sighed. "Deidara isn't, but that doesn't count at all. You're the first uke I see that's not shy."

"Why doesn't Deidara-san count?" Neji blinked, curious.

The younger Uchiha thought if he should say it or not, before finally deciding. "Because he should be used to that, after all... he is a prostitute..."

Neji stared. Silence. "Your brother... is dating a prostitute?"

"More or less... he's in love with Deidara, who seems to have some pretty strong feelings for him, too." Sasuke smiled softly. "And don't say anything too bad... Deidara didn't choose to be in that system, as far as I'm informed."

The Hyuuga blinked. "He was forced into it? That's so cruel!"

"Yeah... but Itachi is trying to save him from that. Really, as much as I hate admitting he's good on what he does, he is. For once the 'great detective of the Japanese police force' will do something more than just obey orders..." Sasuke smirked. "He's taking this case as chief, if I know him that well."

Neji smiled. "Well, that's good. I'll see if my family can do anything to help, too."

"Before we do anything about it, Itachi has to know. Even if one day I'm going to surpass him... this is a personal case. I think he'd prefer to know of every step."

"Of course." The Hyuuga nodded in agreement.

"Perhaps your uncle can help." Mikoto chimed in. "Pass that idea onto your brother."

Sasuke smiled softly. "I'll talk to him when he gets home. I think he'll accept the ideas, but I can't be sure... Itachi did change somewhat now. He's less serious around people and stuff... maybe happier, too."

"Yes, I know. And I'm glad, too. He's definitely loosened up since his childhood." Mikoto said, smiling. "But he'll take this very seriously, that I can tell."

The younger nodded. "He will... and we'll be there for both of them." Said Sasuke, seeming somewhat less competitive with his brother now, too. Maybe Deidara could change some things... for time being.

"Anyway, what are your plans for the day, boys?" Mikoto asked.

"Well... we didn't really make plans yet. Neji?" Sasuke looked at his boyfriend for an idea.

"Hn... Movie?"

Smiling, Sasuke nodded. "But first we should take your things up to the room, right?"

"Heh, yeah." The Hyuuga nodded. "You're the seme, so you bring everything up."

"Yeah, I know." The Uchiha stood, taking the bags into his hands. "But you come with me... I have something to show you."

Neji nodded, standing. "Aa."

Sasuke slowly went upstairs, smiling. This was the first of many 'somethings' until July. Well, it was almost May anyway... so it wasn't too far away.

Neji followed the Uchiha, observing him, but mostly staring at his ass.

Opening the door to his room, the Uchiha smiled and set Neji's bags down on the bed. "Well... we'll be sharing the room." 'And the bed, seeing as there's no space for two beds with all my stuff in here. He added in thought.

"And the bed, clearly. I'm not sleeping on the floor." Neji said, sitting next to his bags on the foot of the bed.

Sasuke chuckled, sitting beside Neji and hugging him. "Right. It's not as if I'd make you sleep down there, I don't want you sick or anything." He pecked the Hyuuga's cheek. "Oh, and let me get something." He let go for a moment, searching through a drawer beside the bed until he found a medium-sized box wrapped in present-paper. "Here... open it." He said, smiling and handing it to Neji.

Neji blinked, staring at it. "What is it?"

"A present. Open it, and then you can know what it is exactly." He pecked the Hyuuga's cheek softly.

The Hyuuga chuckled, unwrapping it, then opening the box.

Sasuke looked into the box, smiling. There it was, his first very-early birthday present to Neji. Until July he'd be sure to fill the Hyuuga with presents, and the silver necklace was only the first one. Sure, it was kind of old-fashioned to give your boyfriend a necklace with a heart pendant that opens and has a photo of the couple, but this one was so cute... he didn't resist buying it.

Neji smiled, picking up the locket. He opened it, and his smile grew. "Sasuke... this is... so sweet."

"That means you like it?" Asked the Uchiha, hugging him again.

"Oh, Sasuke, I love it!" Neji exclaimed, wrapping the Uchiha in a tight embrace.

Sasuke smiled, nuzzling Neji. "That's good."

"Arigatou... Sasuke." The Hyuuga smiled, nuzzling his seme in return.

"You're welcome, Neji-chan." The Uchiha rested his head on his boyfriend's shoulder.

Said uke rolled his eyes, sighing. Even if he was uke, he wasn't fond of 'chan' unless it was Hinata or Hanabi addressing him as such.

Sasuke nuzzled Neji again, smiling. "Neji~ why don't you like me to call you that?"

"Because I'm not a girl." He replied. "And I just don't like it."

"Then what can I call you?" The Uchiha pouted, thinking. "Your name is so short... Ne sounds like I'm asking a question... maybe... Nej!" He smiled.

The Hyuuga sweat dropped. 'Better than 'chan'...' He thought.

Sasuke nodded to himself, bringing Neji onto his lap.

Neji wrapped his arms around the Uchiha, nuzzling him.

Nuzzling back, the Uchiha smiled. "Should we watch a movie?"

"Aa. A good one just came out, I heard." The Hyuuga said. "Wanna see it?"

Sasuke nodded. "Sure."

Neji smiled. "Ikuze, then."

The Uchiha smiled back. "Wait a second." He took the necklace from Neji's hands, opening it and putting it on his boyfriend's neck, smiling. "Now we can go."

Neji smiled, nodding. "Aa, thanks."

Sasuke nodded, taking Neji's hand and guiding him downstairs. "Mom, we're going out for a movie, ok?"

"Sure! Have fun, boys! And pay attention to the movie, okay?" She teased. "No making out the whole time!"

"I'll try~!" Sasuke smirked, chuckling softly.

Neji rolled his eyes, laughing a bit.

"Well, let's go." The younger Uchiha smiled at Neji, both of them walking out of the house and towards the movies. They still had to see what time the movie would start... He chuckled. "No guarantees about the making out part..."

The Hyuuga laughed. "I was about to say the same thing."

Sasuke laughed softly.

Neji smiled, holding Sasuke's hand.
