Something about Roses and Love

Letter Thing

Hey sweetie,
Here I come with another "Hey what's happening"
Listen to me, listen to me.
You tell me you doubt I'm ordinary.
Give me sunshine, make me happy,
Give me sunshine.

"Mail, you stupid assholes! You got mail!" The whole house trembled under Pein's loud voice. Everyone managed to get in the living room within a few seconds. Quiet impressive as Tobi had been on the roof, Hidan in bad and Kakuzu in the cellar (counting his money). "Kakuzu, Kakuzu, Hidan, Kakuzu, Konan, Sasori, Deidara, Sasori, Kakuzu and others are for me."

"None for me?" Tobi asked. "Don't worry Tobi, Kisame and I didn't get any either," Zetsu murmured. When the mail was handed out, everyone went back to what they had been doing before they'd been disturbed.

Sasori went upstairs, to his room. "Kabuto," he said as he knocked on the door right next to his room. "You got mail." Kabuto slowly opened the door. "Me? But I didn't..."

Sasori gave him the letter and went to his own room. "Thank you Sasori-sama," Kabuto whispered and he closed the door. Inside, he opened the letter.

Dear Mr. Yakushi,

We from the model agency "Hera" sent you this letter, because your address is in our database. Currently we are looking for a model, who wants to pose for one of our registered painters. Since your place is close to the painter's and since you qualify the needs, we've sent you this letter.

If you are interested in this job, please call us.

If you do not want to receive further letters from our agency, please call us.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Haruno

Kabuto reread the letter a few times. When the hell had he been added to the database of a model agency? "Oi, Kabuto, coming in," a voice interrupted his thoughts. Deidara came in. "What is it, Deidara?" Kabuto asked, still eyeing the letter.

"It's about Sasori, un. He's just so distant and cold sometimes. And he never wants to talk about us seriously. I mean, I try my best to be well… perfect, but he never compliments me and that's just so depressing. So what do you think I should do, Kabuto?" Deidara finished. He looked up at the man, but… "Kabuto, did you listen to me?"

Kabuto apologized. "I knew you weren't listening. I don't really feel like telling all that again though. So how come you weren't listening?" Deidara asked.

Kabuto showed him the letter. Deidara read it and laughed. "Are you laughing at me?" Kabuto sneered and he took the letter from Deidara.

"Don't be angry, Kabuto. Look, I wasn't laughing at you. In fact, I also got this letter."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Remember that time, we wanted to surprise Sasori-danna with a exclusive photo shoot?"

"I do, and I remember it was your idea, not mine. I still think we should have given him new material for puppets."

"Oh shut up. Anyway we had to give some personal info, before we were allowed to make a collection, remember? Well, that's how we ended up in their database!"

Kabuto sat down. "Have you posed for them before?"

"Yeah once. For the same painter that's looking for a model right now."

"How come I didn't get a letter back then?"

"Ah well actually, it was a coincidence, but I needed to go to the agency and well they asked and I said yes, so they never sent a letter that time."

"So are you going to pose again?"

Deidara sighed. "I don't know. It's good for some extra money, but with the problems between me and Sasori, I just don't know. Do you want to go perhaps?"

Kabuto looked at his friend. "Me? I'm not fit for such work. You know that, Deidara-san." Deidara grinned. "Oh don't worry, Kabuto-kun. Mr. Uchiha is an amateur painter. He doesn't mind if the model is an amateur. Come on, it'll be good for your wallet."

"But… isn't it really boring to stay still?" asked Kabuto hesitantly. Hearing this, Deidara's grin widened. "Umm Deidara, you look scary."

"Really? Sorry, I couldn't help it." And he threw his arm around Kabuto's shoulder. "Don't worry, Kabuto. Posing is only boring when the painter is ugly as hell and I assure you that Mr. Uchiha is a very handsome man. I think he's your type."

Kabuto had grown red. "Wwwhat?"

Thanks to my reviewers Sitebzen, Sonar and Cera Lennox The Insane!

This will probably get a sequel. The question is only when...

(Oh yes, and I'll try to upload every Friday (unless it's a holiday of course ^.^)
