I Want To Love You

Chapter Nine

Chapter Nine

Sasuke woke up the next day with a pounding headache. He rolled over and checked the time on his alarm clock. He groaned, it was already noon and he had plans with Naruto at one. I can’t remember the last time I slept in this late, Sasuke noted, sitting up. He put his head in his hands and massaged it. God it hurts so bad. He finally got up and took a couple aspirin and made breakfast. He was both excited and nervous to spend the day with Naruto. It had felt so long since they last hung out, when in reality, it was only two nights ago. Sasuke couldn’t believe how quickly his life was changing around him. He went from being a loner who stayed home everyday to having a boyfriend and going out with friends. He thought about everything that has happened recently, and he felt that he should be happy, he should be smiling and be excited to see Naruto, but something felt off. He got his best friend back, his relationship is fine, so what was it that was bothering him so bad? Normally he would dwell on it for hours, but he convinced himself everything was fine and decided he would try to enjoy today.

After eating a quick lunch, Sasuke thought a shower would make him feel better. He undressed and stepped in the steamy, hot water. He wasn’t a huge fan of baths, so he did the next best thing. He took showers but sat down and let the warm water pour down on him. He sighed, enjoying the relaxing feeling of the shower, and reminisced about the previous day. It was really nice spending time with Dei, but it was a bit unsettling seeing someone from his past. He thought about how he told Deidara about what happened with his parents and Itachi. Itachi… Where are you Itachi? Sasuke wondered. He honestly hadn’t thought about him in a long time, he tried to repress all his memories of the past. He wanted nothing more than to forget everything that happened. Itachi and Deidara disappeared around the same time… and now Deidara is back. I wonder if… no. That couldn’t happen. Sasuke pushed the thought out of his head quickly, he couldn’t think like that, but more questions kept popping in his head. If Itachi came back what would I do? Would I be mad? Of course I would, he left me to suffer all alone. Would I be happy? I would… but the real question is, could I forgive him? And why did he even leave in the first place? So many questions plagued his mind and he tried to think about something else. At least Naruto is coming over soon, he’ll take my mind off things. He tried to fight back the smile that was forming on his face. Although the last two days had been rocky with Naruto, he was suddenly really excited to see him. Hanging with Deidara was nice, but he was a reminder of his past, while Naruto on the other hand was a reminder of the present and future.

Feeling cheered up, Sasuke quickly washed his hair and turned off the water. When he got to his room his eyes widened when he noticed the time, it was already 1:13! He threw his clothes on in a rush and picked up his phone to see a text from Naruto, “I’m on my way.” He should be here in a few minutes then.

Deidara sighed, he was having a terrible day and it had barely even began. It all started when he woke up this morning for class, he oversleep and had to rush to get dressed. He threw on a random shirt off the floor and some pants and rushed out the door, he didn’t even have a chance to brush his hair. He frowned, feeling his hair. It was a tangled mess. He mentally added ‘Bad Hair Day’ to the list. Not only did he rush out the door that morning, his car was also against him as always. He spent more time trying to get the thing to start than he did actually getting ready. He ended up twenty minutes late, and his teacher wasn’t too pleased. Class ended at 11:30 and he had plans with his boyfriend at noon. The only problem was his Art school was approximately thirty minutes from the restaurant he was supposed to meet him at. Luckily his car eased up on him and didn’t fight back this time, and now here he was at the restaurant. His boyfriend, Sasori, was actually running late. Deidara frowned. He could’ve stopped by his house on the way and did something about his terrible bed head. Sasori didn’t keep him waiting long though, he arrived after another five minutes and took a seat across from Deidara. “Hey babe,” Deidara said, leaning over the table and giving his boyfriend and quick kiss. Sasori just looked at him with a blank face, “Dei, you know how I feel about PDA.” Deidara rolled his eyes and looked around, “There’s barely any people here anyway!” Sasori glared at him and Deidara glared back. After a few seconds Deidara gave up, “Alright, I’m sorry.” Normally he would be too stubborn to apologize, even over something that small, but he was too tired to put up much of a fight. Sasori laughed, “Hey, you know I was kidding.” Deidara pouted, crossing his arms, “It’s impossible to tell when you’re kidding! Sometimes I’m not sure you even have emotions,” he joked. Sasori pretended to be hurt, “I have feelings too!” Deidara laughed, “I know, I know.”
