Sweet Thing

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto I wish I did though.


We all stared at each other in silence. Sasori never said he was coming over and it's easy to see that Itachi's still here. I glanced at Itachi whose face went from mild surprise to devoid of all emotion.

I decided to break the unbearable silence. "What's up?" Wow, that was the best I could come up with.

"Just wanted to see how you were doing," Sasori said. He stood in the door way, his eyes avoided mine.

"No, you didn't. You want something." Sasori never comes over to make sure I'm doing fine. He's not into to all that emotional crap.

Sasori finally looked me in the eyes. "Fine. I'm starving and I was wondering if you had any food." I gaped at him. "What? My mom made dinner and I ate everything."

Itachi stayed silent as a statue beside me. "Come in. I can't guarantee that there's anything to eat though."

Sasori ran in the house and made his way straight to the refrigerator. I smiled at his retreating back.

"You're going to let him eat your food at this hour?" Itachi asked staring off at Sasori.

"Yeah, he's my friend," I shrugged. "Why not?"

Itachi shook his head. "Never mind. I'll see you later." Itachi turned to leave, but I reached out and caught his hand. He turned back to me. He didn't say a word or pull his hand away from mine.

"Stay," I uttered in a whisper. Itachi shut the door and we stood in the door way me still holding on to his hand.

"Are you going to kiss or what?" Sasori asked while he was eating a sandwich.

Itachi tried to let go of my hand, I wouldn't let him go. "Let go," he whispered harshly. I didn't let that stop me.

I raised his captured hand to my lips. My lips hovered over his pulse point for a moment then I kissed it. Itachi inhaled deeply, he shivered under my touch. Licking where I had kissed him earned me a small gasp and I softly blew air on the pulse point. I looked up to see Itachi with his eyes closed.

"This is getting weird even for me. See ya later Deidara." Sasori walked past us then called over his shoulder. "Don't forget tomorrow we're hanging out."

It felt like I was in a trance. I got to taste Itachi's skin, it was heavenly. I grinned like a fool. "I won't forget. Just remember you're driving."

The hand in my gripped was suddenly ripped from my grasp. "You're hanging out with him tomorrow?" Cold hard eyes glared at me.

I was taken aback. What did I do? Itachi's arms were crossed over his chest. "Yeah, we are going to check out some new games and some music. And maybe grab a bite to eat."

"Oh."

"What do you mean 'oh' do you want to come?"

Silence fell on us again while I waited for Itachi's answer. I crossed my fingers praying that he would come. The only problem might be Sasori won't like it, but too late to take it back now. Itachi's brow furrowed, he stared at the ceiling while tapping his foot. I wanted to laugh at his display. It was so cute! But I didn't want to have another glare thrown my way or make him decide that he doesn't want to go.

"What time do I have to be here?" That wasn't what I wasn't expecting. I wanted to jump and hug him, but I kept my cool.

"We're leaving at ten in the morning so I would suggest coming about fifteen to twenty minutes before that."

"I'm not saying that I'm going to go, it's just an idea that I'm playing with. And don't think I'm going to let you get away with what you did with my hand." I could have been seeing things, but I would swear that a light blush dusted his cheeks. "I'm going to make you work even harder for that little stunt."

"No, problem." I grinned. "Just call me when you're coming."

"Might be going." Itachi corrected.

"Whatever you say."

I walked Itachi to his car. I wanted to dance around, but I tried to learn from him and keep my face free of all emotion. I don't think it worked because he raised his eyebrow at me when I waved as he backed out of the driveway.

Sleeping in bed was the best thing. I could smell Itachi distinctive scent still on my covers. I curled up on the bed and was out like a light for the rest of the night. I wish it had been him instead of just the covers, but I had some great dreams. I woke up to the sound of a car driving away. It must have been my parents. Man, I wonder if I'll ever see them again. With the way things are going it doesn't seem like I will.

I grabbed my phone looked at the time and jumped out of bed. It was already five past nine. I scrounged up some clean clothes and hopped in the shower. The water pounded against my back. I reveled in the feeling. I had the feeling that Itachi would come. I mean he had to. Right? I turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around my waist. Dressing didn't take long at all. I did it like there was no tomorrow. My phone rang as soon as I finished putting my hair in a ponytail.

"Hello?" I asked breathlessly.

"Deidara, I'm on way," Itachi said.

"Okay, see you soon." I flipped my phone closed. My heart swelled with happiness with the knowledge that Itachi was coming. I checked myself in the mirror then I wanted to hit my hand against my forehead. Talk about acting like a girl making sure she looks good for the guy she likes. I couldn't help it though. I adjusted my bangs and blew them out of my eyes.

The door bell rang as I was messing with my hair. I ran to the door and it was Sasori ready for the day.

"You ready?" he asked. I nodded and bit my bottom lip.

"I'm ready, but I'm waiting for Itahci." I closed my eyes waiting for the yelling to come.

"That's cool." Sasori walked into my house and plopped down on the couch.

"Eh?" Sasori was fine with it. I guess, all the better for me. I wonder how Itachi feels about going Sasori being with us.
