~ Smile ~
I do not own Sasori, or Deidara, or the series 'Naruto'
Deidara never really looked at Sasori before. I mean really looked at him. Untidy red locks, honey nut, brown eyes, and a bored expression on his face. The red head seemed to always have that expression. Even he had to admit, Sasori was quite beautiful either way, but he'd be even more beautiful if he smiled.
The problem is, Deidara has never really seen Sasori smile...Not once. He wonders if Sasori even can.
'It wouldn't hurt to ask.' Deidara thought, heading towards Sasori's door.
"Danna, un?" The blond knocked on the door, lightly. There was a long period of silence before Sasori finally answered.
"What?" Sasori mummbled, not bothering to look up from his workdesk. Deidara fumbled with his fingers nervously, a light pink blush present on his cheeks.
"Well I was wondering, un...."
"Spit it out already, brat!" Sasori snapped. The blond missing nin was stricken back by his accomplice's outburst, but straightened up.
"Can you smile?" Sasori stared blankly Deidara.
"What kind of stupid question is that? Of course I can." Deidara scratched the back of his head, and chuckled nervously.
"Well, I've never really seen you smile, un."
"Maybe not to you." Sasori answered, expressionlessly. Deidara grinned at the other, a determined look appearing on his face.
"Then I'm going to make you smile! Even if it kills me, un." The puppet master rolled his eyes, and returned his attention to his work before him.
"Yeah, good luck with that." Deidara ignored the reply, and paced back and forth, contemplating on how he was going to make Sasori crack. Finally when an idea popped into his head, Deidara spun Sasori around, so he was facing him. Sasori cocked his head to the side confused. He had no idea what the blond was thinking. Deidara gulped. This could get him poisoned, but he had to do it, he wanted to see his danna smile. He touched Sasori's stomach. It was cold to the touch, and made Deidara shiver. Then he ran his hand in a back-and-forth motion. Sasori continued to stare in a lost expression. Epic fail.
'Okay then, I guess he isn't ticklish, un.'
"Why are you trying to make me smile anyway, brat?" Sasori questioned. Deidara flashed him a sincere smile, and replied,
"Because I want to see you smile today." Sasori sighed, he obviously wasn't getting rid of Deidara, quite as easily, as usual.
"Fine then! I'll smile for you, just to shut you up for a minute!" He added emphasis on smile. Deidara grinned, and prepared for the big moment. Sasori lifted one corner of his mouth, then the other, and then....Deidara flinched.
'What?"
"Your smile, it's--"
"What?!" Sasori asked, losing his patience by the second.
'It's...Beautiful, un. I think you should smile more, it looks good on you." And with that, the bomber left Sasori's room. Left Sasori to process the event that just occurred. He smiled....Sasori thought he had lost his smile long ago, but Deidara...He's given him a new reason to smile now...
'Maybe, I should try smiling more.' The red head turned back towards his desk, his smile still plastered on his face, and continued to work on his puppet.
A/N - Just a fluffly little one-shot that came to mind while I was watching 'Kanamemo'. The main character, Kana, was learning how to smile, and well...It made me think of SasoDei. ^^;;
