Gaara and Deidara spent more and more time together while Sasuke spent time with Sai. Only one visitor was allowed into enter the room at one point… and when it wasn't Naruto in that room, it was Sasuke. He figured it was to be expected… considering Sai and Naruto had always been very close, and Sasuke was Sai's best friend. Though, it did upset him a bit. After all, the youngest Uchiha was his Lover… and, if he was spending all his time with Sai, he didn't get to see him often.
Laughing at one of the jokes Deidara made, he smiled up at him. This boy was nice… and cute. In fact, if he and Sasuke weren't together… he might even think about dating this boy. After all, he never forced him into anything, and always asked his opinion. The point of the matter was… Deidara cared. Sasuke would rarely ask his opinion on anything, or simply ask him how he was doing. It was like… Sasuke would assume him to be depressed, or assume him to be happy. Deidara never assumed.
When they went out together for something like Lunch, Deidara would always hold open doors, and pay for every meal. And even though he usually thought such things were nothing but cheesy, but… when this blonde did it, he thought it was cute. So much so that he even kissed the blonde boy. Though… he couldn't help but think something was… off about him. When he talked to his friends, he got this… strange look in his eyes. This look of… plotting. And he smirked at Gaara a lot.
Maybe he was one of those kinds of people that was one way around certain people… and a completely different way around others? Regardless, he didn't like it. It made him wonder if the Deidara he knew was the real Deidara… or just some sort of fake. The blonde he hung out with made his heart flip… the blonde that Itachi hung out with made his heart break. Gaara knew it wasn't right to even think of the older student this way…After all, he loved Sasuke.
Yes, love. Like, L-O-V-E. The cheesy hearts in the background, blushing, stuttery, fidgety kind of love. Sasuke often told him that it was funny seeing a goth kid act like that. And then Gaara would retort with 'well, it's weird seeing an emo kid smile, but you don't see ME taunting you'. It was just… fun to tease and taunt him. But, with Deidara… he couldn't taunt, and couldn't tease. When he did the first time… the look of sadness the blonde had made his heart shatter.
"I just don't understand why or… how I could ever like more then one person? Love is something that is meant for one person and one person only. If only… If ONLY it were possible to roll both of them together into one perfect man. He could have Sasuke's perfect hair, and Deidara's gorgeous blue eyes… Deidara's adorable gestures and Sasuke's tease-ability. But… I suppose that's impossible…" He sighed, getting Deidara's attention.
"What is it, Gaara-kun?" He asked, smiling and motioning with his hands as he usually did.
"Nothing, Deidara-kun… nothing at all."
I felt like giving Gaara a little... confusion. Don't kill me? ;
