Sasori- ''Fine.'' He pouted lightly as he reluctantly got off of the blonde, missing the blonde's body instantly the moment he moved. He sighed and stood.

Deidara- He stood up and shivered. "I swear if my clothed in my scrolls are wet I am stealing yours un." He mumbled as he took off his soaked cloak and hung it on the tree branch near him.

Sasori- ''They will be too short on you and tight,'' He shrugged, not caring at all. ''Want me to build a fire?"

Deidara- He nodded as he unsealed some clothes glad to find them dry. He slipped off his clothes and put on the new ones. He ran his fingers threw his hair.

Sasori- He gathered some loose tree limbs and twigs and started a small fire. Afterwards, he undressed and slipped into some dry ones as well.

Deidara- He started to dry his scope as he realized it has gotten wet. He continued to work on the complex machine with a small smile.

Sasori- He stretched lightly before sitting down and smirking over at the other, ''If you come over here, I'll warm you up.''

Deidara- He smiled and walked over to the other and sat down right next to the other. He leaned his head on the others shoulder as he continued to fiddle with his scope.

Sasori- He wrapped his arms around the other and pulled him onto his lap. ''There.'' He said with a smile. ''That's better.''

Deidara- He squeaked and blushed. He didn't move but slowly began to relax as he continued to work on the last detail before packing it away in his scroll.

Sasori- He laid his head against the other's warm back, holding the other close. ''I love you-''

Deidara- "I love you too un" He said as he yawned.

Sasori- ''Im glad.'' He murmured, content with having the other so close.

Deidara- "I'll take first watch if you want un." He mumbled as he looked at the landscape around them.

Sasori- ''It doesn't matter to me as long as I can continue to hold you.'' He mumbled against the other's back.

Deidara- He blushed and bit his lip. "Go ahead and sleep un I will keep watch un." He said as he got his scope out and slipped it in.

Sasori- ''Alright.'' He laid his head more comfortably against the other's back and closed his eyes.

Deidara- He played with the advancements of his scope as he scanned around. He saw nothing unusual besides two squirrels throwing their nuts at each other.

Sasori- He fell asleep after awhile, sleeping soundly like he always did with the blonde so close.

Deidara- He watched the moon and the fish in the river. It was nearing time the other was to take watch but he didn't want to wake his red haired angel.

Sasori- He shifted slightly but stayed asleep, his chest slowly rising and falling in even breaths as he slept comfortably.

Deidara- The others time passed but he let the other sleep. The man deserved it. He also knew he would not be able to sleep due to insomnia.

Sasori- His arms tightened slightly around the other as he was plagued by a nightmare.

Deidara- He let out a gasp of surprise as he gently rotated to face the other. "Danna un" He said as he played with the others hair.

Sasori- ''No,'' He whispered in his sleep, pain etched onto his sleeping face.

Deidara- "Yes wake up un" He said as he shook the mans shoulder. He kissed the others face trying to get the look that the other did not wear well off.

Sasori- ''Dont...leave,'' He whispered, still sleeping.

Deidara- "I wont love un" He said softly as he pulled the other close.

Sasori- He burrowed against the other, pain still on his sleeping face.

Deidara- His voice got slightly louder. "Danna wake up." He said as he began to rub the males back.

Sasori- ''Don-t...no!" He shouted quietly in his sleep.

Deidara- He kissed the others lips trying to either A) wake the other up or B ) make sure he was quiet so they didn't get located.

Sasori- His eyes shot open at the contact, his breathing heavy and his eyes slightly wild.

Deidara- He pulled back and gently put a hand on the others cheek. "Calm down love" He said softly

Sasori- He looked at him with slightly wide eyes as he slowly began to get his breathing under control, leaning into the other's hand with his own resting atop it as if to assure himself that the blonde was alive and well and here with him. ''S-Sorry,'' he whispered.

Deidara- "It is alright un." He said with a smile. He wrapped his own free arm around the others waist. "Are you alright un?"

Sasori- ''Yeah.'' He whispered, nodding slightly, embarrassment coloring his features a little.

Deidara- "Don't worry un. I won't leave." He said holding the male even closer

Sasori- ''I know you won't.'' He said softly, small gratitude in his voice as he hugged the other.

Deidara- He hugged back tightly as he held the other to him. It felt good to help the other male.

Sasori- ''I love you.'' He whispered into the hug.

Deidara- "I love you too" He said softly as he continued to kiss the others head and keep a protective hold on the other.

Sasori- He sighed after a moment and said reluctantly, ''We should probably leave now, shouldn't we?"

Deidara- He shook his head. "It is only three un. And I have yet to sleep." He said with a half smile.

Sasori- ''You sleep then and I'll keep watch.'' He told him quietly.

Deidara- "I can't sleep when I am worried. If you want to get an early start then lets un." He said looking at the other,

Sasori- ''Why are you worried?" He asked softly, concern flickering in his eyes.

Deidara- "You have me worried un" He said with a smile as he kissed the others head. "Plus I am wide awake"

Sasori- ''I'm sorry...I didn't mean to worry you...'' He sighed softly at the kiss, a small smile appearing.

Deidara- "It is fine un. Lets get a head start un" He said with a small grin

Sasori- ''Alright.'' He nodded, slowly getting up and stretching.

Deidara- He got up as well and stretched out.

Sasori- He pulled his cloak tighter against himself and nodded at the other. ''Ready?"

Deidara- He nodded. "Are you cold un?" He asked softly noticing the others simple action.

Sasori- ''A little. Its no big deal.'' He shrugged.

Deidara- He unsealed his heavy Akatsuki cloak. "I think you should wear this one instead un" He said handing it to the other

Sasori- ''Nah. I'll be fine.'' He gave him a small smile

Deidara- "It wasn't an offer un" He said bluntly with amusement in his eyes.

Sasori- He rolled his eyes but sighed with a small nod, knowing it was pointless to argue. ''Fine, brat.''

Deidara- He smiled at having got his way as he continued to hold the cloak out to the chilled puppet.

Sasori- He reluctantly took the cloak and wrapped it around himself.

Deidara- He was happy he got his way. That way he knew the other was warm.

Sasori- He rolled his eyes. ''Now are you ready?"

Deidara- He nodded. "Yep un" He said as he looked at the other. He was thanking his insomnia at the moment.

Sasori- ''Okay. And if you get tired at all, let me know and I can carry you.'' He told him with a half smile.

Deidara- He blushed lightly and smiled. "I think that would be more embarrassing than walking around half asleep un." He said with a small smile of amusement.

Sasori- ''Really? Huh.'' He pouted a little as they walked.

Deidara- "Yeah un. Just think it would be very hard to fight un" He said with a shrug.

Sasori- ''Not if I fight with my puppets.'' He pointed out.

Deidara- "Still need your fingers un." He pointed out.

Sasori- ''I can still use them while carrying you.'' He retorted,

Deidara- "With great difficulty un" He said with a sigh.

Sasori- ''So?"

Deidara- "It still might get you killed un." He said in a low voice.

Sasori- ''As if I could be killed so easily.'' He scoffed.

Deidara- "It is just a worried thought un..." He said softly

Sasori- ''I know.'' He sighed.

Deidara- He kissed the others cheek.

Sasori- He gave him a small smile.

Deidara- "To Iwa un..." He mumbled unhappily as he felt his full bag of clay and clenched his free hand.

Sasori- 'He grabbed the other's hand gently. ''Dont worry. I'll do whatever you need me to,'' he told him quietly.

Deidara- "I just need to relax a bit un... No worries" He said to the other as he looked into honey brown eyes.

Sasori- 'Still...I meant what I said.'' He told him honestly.

Deidara- He nodded. "I know un" He said back

Sasori- ''Good...because you know I will always be here for you.''

Deidara- "And I you un" He said as he turned down an old trail.

Sasori- He walked in silence with the other, lost in thought as he worried over him.

Deidara- "We should be there in a day or so un" He said with a small quiet sigh.

Sasori- ''Alright.'' He nodded slightly.

Deidara- He continued to go and look around warily as he continued the simple walk.

Sasori- He looked around carefully as well, his eyes taking in the area surrounding them.

Deidara- He yawned quietly after a few hours but continued on.

Sasori- ''Are you tired?" He asked quietly, looking at the other.

Deidara-" Only a little un" He replied as he turned around and smiled.

Sasori- ''We can take an hour break if you want.'' He offered.

Deidara- "I would just end up sleeping un. Lets go a bit farther" He said with another yawn

Sasori- ''If you're sure...'' He said slowly, eying the other uncertainly.

Deidara- "If you are so worried we will stop in an hour un" He said as compromise

Sasori- ''Alright.'' He nodded, accepting this compromise.

Deidara- He sighed and rubbed his head. He wasn't really in the mood to bicker.

Sasori- He continued to walk with the other quietly,

Deidara- He put his head on the others shoulders and continued to walk onward.

Sasori- He wrapped an arm gently around the other's waist, staying silent since he knew how tired the other truly was.

Deidara- He wrapped his arms around the other as well he could usually go a few days without sleep but right now he was just plain exhausted.

Sasori- ''We'll stop and make camp shortly.'' He told him quietly

Deidara- He nodded. "mmk" He mumbled with a small smile. "It just hit me like BAM truck un" He mumbled with a small laugh.

Sasori- ''I knew you were going to be tired.'' He remarked softly with a small smile,

Deidara- "I wasn't until you mentioned it un" He mumbled.

Sasori- ''Mmhm.'' He didn't sound as if he believed the other really

Deidara- He smiled gently and kept his head on the others shoulder. He squeezed the other in affection.

Sasori- He smiled slightly at the squeeze. ''Love you.'' He said quietly.

Deidara- "Love you too un" He said softly.

Sasori- ''You better.'' He smirked slightly though there was a softness in his eyes that belied the smirk.

Deidara- "I do" He said and a yawn followed suit right after. He mumbled and snuggled closer to the redhead.

Sasori- ''Want to just set up camp here?" He asked him quietly.

Deidara- "M okay" He mumbled quietly. He was on the edge of sleep while walking. He had done that a few times before walking while asleep.

Sasori- ''No you aren't. You're tired.'' He stated stopping walking and saying in a slightly commanding tone, ''We're stopping here so you can rest.''

Deidara- "I can keep walking un" He mumbled. "I just won't be awake" He said not moving from his snuggled position

Sasori- ''But thats not safe, especially considering how close we are to Iwa. We're staying here and that's that.''

Deidara- "mmk" He said giving in far easier than usual. He didn't let go of the other but agreed none the less.
