I Want To Love You

Chapter Ten

Sasori sighed, “Come on Dei, we’re gonna be late. I hate being late, you know that.” Deidara rolled his eyes, “You were late to our date a few days ago,” he reminded his boyfriend. Sasori glared at him, “I felt bad about it.” Deidara raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t seem like it.” He knew Sasori hated to keep people waiting, but he loved giving him a hard time about it. It wasn’t like Sasuke really cared if they were five minutes late. “It was your idea to have me meet him today, so the least you could do is make sure we’re on time.” Sasori reminded him. Deidara nodded, “I know… but it’s not my fault my car is a piece of crap! Thank god Christmas is coming up, hopefully I’ll have enough to buy myself a new car.” Sasori smiled, he didn’t seem like the type to enjoy holidays but he really loved Christmas. “It’s only a week away,” Sasori noted. Deidara grinned, “I hope you’re excited, I got you something that I think you’ll really like.” Sasori tried to hide his smile, which was getting bigger by the second, “You got me something?” Deidara nodded, “Well, more like made you something. I hope you like it.”

“I’m sure I’ll love it.” Sasori reassured him. I really need to get him a present. Sasori thought. “Are you going anywhere for Christmas?” Sasori asked him. Deidara frowned, “No, I haven’t spent Christmas with my family since my parents split up.” Sasori reached his hand over to Deidara’s and squeezed it, “We can celebrate it together if you want.” and gave him a smile. Deidara lit up instantly, Sasori rarely showed this side of himself and it made him really happy when he saw it. Deidara squeezed his hand back, “You’re the best.” and leaned over to give Sasori a quick kiss on the forehead. Sasori blushed and looked away. He glanced out his window, it was snowing outside. The beautiful snow glistened on the ground, a whole world of white surrounded them. Sasori loved the pretty lights that decorated the houses and trees. Winter time was so magical to him because he grew up in a town located in a hot desert, a place where it never snowed. He hated the cold, but in the end it was worth it to see this magical time of the year. “You’re awfully excited,” Deidara teased. Sasori looked at him thoughtfully, “Do you like Winter, or Christmas?” Deidara thought about it for a minute, “Honestly I’m not a huge fan. It’s way too cold, everything is dead, and I never got anything cool on Christmas because my parents were too poor.” Sasori frowned. He wished Deidara saw it the way he did, but that was part of the reason he loved Dei, they always saw everything differently. I’m going to do something amazing for him on Christmas, and then, just maybe, he’ll appreciate it as much as I do. “Hey, we’re finally here!” Sasori snapped out of his thoughts, “About time!” Deidara shot him a look, “Let’s go” Sasori nodded and they walked up to Sasuke’s apartment door and knocked. A few seconds Sasuke emerged, “You guys are a little late, were the roads bad?” Sasori gave Deidara the ‘I-told-you-we-were-gonna-be-late-and-he-even-noticed’ look, while Deidara nodded, “Yeah it’s snowing out there, but we made it in one piece.” and Sasori muttered ‘barely’.

Sasuke smiled, “Nice to meet you, you must be Sasori?” Sasori looked up at the boy, “It’s nice to meet you too, Sasuke.” Deidara realized this was the first time he had been to Sasuke’s apartment, and as Sasuke led them into the living room he noticed everything was pretty empty. “Sasuke, don’t you have a t.v.?” Deidara asked. Sasori elbowed him in the ribs, and whispered, “Don’t be rude.” Sasuke frowned, “No, I don’t really have the money for one.” Deidara smiled, “I’ll buy you one for Christmas!” Sasuke’s eyes widened, “Fuck, Christmas is next week isn’t it?” Sasori nodded and turned to Deidara, “How are you gonna afford a t.v.? I thought you were gonna buy a new car.” Sasuke motioned for them to sit down and they all took a seat on the couch, “You’re getting a new car, Dei?” Sasuke asked. Deidara nodded, “Hopefully. I don’t know, I have some money saved up but I’m definitely gonna try to buy you something.” He knew Sasuke probably hadn’t celebrated Christmas in the last few years considering he had no family and barely any friends until this year. Sasuke shook his head, “You don’t have to do that, it’s not a big deal.” and hoping to change the subject, he added, “Do you guys want some hot chocolate? I think I have some marshmallows and whipped cream too.” They both nodded. Sasuke got up and made the hot chocolate. Sasori looked around, he was surprised at how bare the apartment was. He had no posters or pictures or anything on the walls. “I take it he isn’t a very creative person.” Sasori commented. Deidara shook his head, “I don’t know, he never use to be into art so I doubt he is now,” Sasori nodded.
