Your fingertips brushed over various textures and items. Your attention was grabbed by the feeling of something...glass? Deciding to go for it, you reached in and pulled out a small glass vile. Inspecting the item, your (e/c) eyes peered through it.

"Who would this belong to?" You asked as you surveyed the room for any sort of reaction.

"Me." A redhead muttered as he stood up.

You looked over to see Sasori walking up to you and blushed before extending your arm out to offer him the vile.

"Just toss it out." He told you before starting for the closet, leaving you behind.

"O-Oh...um alright..." you said before placing the vile on the table and following man to the closet. You knew Sasori was a rather cold and a not so expressive person, leaving you to wonder, what the hell is gonna happen in this closet...better yetWILL anything happen?

Stepping into the closet behind the red-head you watched the door slowly shut, Tobi laughing. "7 minutes you two~" He chuckled from outside the door.

Both you and Sasori looked to the door then one another. "So..." you started. You never talked to Sasori much and honestly didn't know how he acted or what he was like aside from the fact he was usually stonic or hidden behind another puppet.

"What?" He asked, you could feel his cold eyes staring a hole into your skin. He wasn't exactly looking directly into your eyes, but more so you in general. It made you feel a bit uneasy and his cold response didn't help the feeling either. You felt unwanted.

"I uh... how have you been?" You asked with a small, forced smile.

"I don't know. I don't feel or have 'emotion'...if you forgot I am a puppet." he said, making you feel rather foolish for even trying to bother.

"How about you? As a living human I am sure you have feelings." He added, obviously putting a but of effort forth to keep the conversation going.

With a small grin you looked down a moment to regather all your thoughts. "Well...stressed, to say in the least." You started before you decided to sit, your back against the wall. "With helping Itachi and Sasuke move and having to work and keep up with training...it's been quite a load on me." you said with a sigh, resting your head in your hands.

Noticing the 'emotions' that went along with how you've been, Sasori was able to understand being stressed wasn't exactly a positive thing. He stood a moment, now feeling a bit out of place, unsure how to react to your response. "Oh. Well...you will find a way to cope." he said simply before sitting down, not too far away from you. Looking over you exhaled and smiled, knowing to have patience with him because he genuinely didn't feel emotions.

"Yeah, I guess." you shrugged and looked at the white wall straight in front of you.

As you looked ahead, your attention suddenly on all the stress you've been feeling you felt a small tap on your shoulder. "Hmmmm?" you hummed looking over to the akatsuki member.

"You seem...I don't know. Upset." he said mapping out where you emotion seemed to be.

"I...guess you could say that...I'm just feeling negative over all." you admitted.

"Hmmm...I have honestly wondered what it would be like to really...feel again." he confessed, hoping to comfort you in some way. Of course, he was the same old stern and not too expressive puppet master, notorious for killing ninja from various villages and turning them into his own personal puppets.

"I don't know with good feelings come bad ones and vice versa." You told him.

You and Sasori sat there quiet a moment before you looked over yet again. "Sasori...I know we don't exactly know each other but I was wondering if I could kiss you." You said finally, wanting to try something. You were determined to make this man feel something. Happy, scared, angry, lustful, sad...anything.

As the silence remained, you could heart your own heart beat slowly grow louder in ears.

"Answe-" you cut off feeling his lips press harshly against yours.

"Sa...sori..." you muttered before you closed your eyes, melting into the kiss. As your lips locked, your hand reached up to cup his cheek. As you seemed to ease into the kiss, Sasori was still a bit stiff and even a bit cold. This coming from him though, it was expected. Finally as you felt him ease into the kiss, the door was opened by an all too eager Tobi.

"Oh wow...Sasori...I didn't know you had it in you...hehe literally." Tobi said with a small giggle.

You pulled away and blushed as you licked your lips, Sasori sat there not really angry or embarrassed. He stood up and offered his hand out to you, helping you stand on your feet. Once you were up, you walked out with him, a few other Akatsuki members watching the two of you exit. It was obvious you were all flustered and Sasori..no one could really tell what was on his mind. The puppet master continued to lead you out of the sight of everyone and into the front room where it was empty.

"(y/n)...I...I oddly think I was able to feel something..not much but it was something..." he admitted.

"I'm glad" you said with a small grin, your hand gently reaching out to grab his.

"For the first time in years...I felt something..."
