Madara's Demise Ch 2
Later that afternoon Itachi found Deidara wandering around aimlessly about the corridors. He walked up to him and asked again. "Are you sure you're alright? I know that Madara has something to do with what's going on with you." The blond looked up in stunned silence and quickly looked around to make sure they were the only ones around. He grabbed Itachi's sleeve and stepped closer. "What did he tell you?" He asked almost bursting into tears as he said it.
"Nothing, except not to worry about it." Itachi explained. "But I am asking you personally." He said expectantly. The blonde looked down as if searching for the words, when at last he looked up at Itachi. "He's right, you shouldn't worry about it." He said then stepped past Itachi and as if he were about to flee. Itachi quickly reached out and caught his arm.
"Whoa, hold on a minute Dei." Itachi said as he pulled Deidara back around to face him. He had to say something to make him stay, but what? He knew that telling the blonde how he felt could go either way. Maybe it would go well but it could also go very bad. He just knew he had to say something.
"I love you, Dei." Itachi blurted. Deidara jerked free of Itachi's hold and stepped back in shocked surprise. "You what?" He couldn't believe this was happening. The whole time he and Itachi were together, Itachi had never said that to him. Not once. Now when he was going through utter hell his wish had come true.
Unfortunately it was just too late. Now it was his turn to be cold. "Well I don't love you." He said icily as he turned and fled from the corridor. Itachi couldn't believe what he was hearing. He watched the blond disappear around the corner and his mind drifted back in time.
They had been sitting by the river outside of the base. He and Deidara had just had some mind blowing sex. Dei was lying on his shoulder while he leaned against a tree. "Do you love me?" Deidara asked.
"I care about you but I wouldn't say that I love you." Itachi answered.
"Well I love you." Deidara pouted.
"Thank you." Itachi responded.
"Let's not ruin a good thing okay Dei?" Itachi said squeezing the blonds shoulder.
"Sure, but I am always going to love you even if I have to love you enough for both of us." Deidara said softly.
Itachi came back to reality just as Tobi entered the corridor. "Itachi what may I ask are you doing here?" A smirk flashing across his face as he eyed Itachi. Itachi ignored him and walked on passed, one of these days he was going to kill that son of a bitch.
He headed upstairs to his room when a noise came from across the hall. He stepped up to Deidara's door and listened as the blond sobbed uncontrollably. He tried the knob and it turned easily. He stepped in and rushed to the bed.
Taking Deidara into his arms he tried to soothe the blond. He held him against him as he brushed the hair out of his face. "Its okay Dei-chan. I am right here." He cooed. Deidara put his arms around Itachi's neck and allowed Itachi to sit down and pull him into his lap.
"I lied, Itachi. I said I didn't love you but I do. I was just so scared to tell you because I know he will do something to you." Deidara whimpered. Itachi held Deidara closer.
"Tell me what he is doing to you Deidara, please!" Itachi hissed.
"He makes me do things. He makes me have sex with him and he does nasty things to me during sex. He cuts on me and he makes me say things I don't want to." Deidara sobbed again as the reality of it sank in again.
Itachi clenched his teeth. He was definitely going to take out Madara. He just needed a plan first. A wave of anger ripped through him at the thought of Madara playing his sick twisted games with Deidara. Itachi had once been subject to them too and he knew what he was capable of.
"I am going to protect you from here on out. Don't worry anymore. I got you covered." Itachi said rocking Deidara on his lap. "How, he will get to me. He always gets to me when I am alone." Deidara cried.
"So we just won't leave you alone then. You stay by me at all times okay?" Itachi asked looking into Deidara's eyes full of seriousness. Deidara nodded. Itachi laid Deidara on the bed and crawled up behind him. He wrapped his arm around Deidara's waist as he cuddled the blond.
"Do you really love me?" Deidara asked quietly.
"With everything I have, Dei-chan." Itachi replied. Deidara rolled over and kissed Itachi who pressed his tongue into Deidara's mouth deepening the kiss. They held each other and made out the rest of the afternoon.
Several days had passed as Itachi and Deidara stayed glued to each other. They sat together through every meal and hardly ever left Itachi's room. They made love three times in the span of six days and so far things had been going smoothly.
Madara had left Deidara alone. Not that he had a choice with Itachi always in the picture, much to Tobi's chargin and Madara's disgust. Itachi knew that sooner or later he and Kisame would be sent out on a mission and Deidara would be unprotected. This bothered him to no end.
At the moment he sat watching his beautiful blond bomber sleeping and since they had started staying in Itachi's room there hadn't been anymore nightmares for Deidara. Itachi smiled at the blond and laid next to him. He needed to take Madara out once and for all.
