How You Met

Naruto~

You sighed tiredly as you walked through the woods, trying to find a good place to practice your aim with your kunai and shuriken. It was pretty late and after an uncharacteristically off day during training, you decided to make up for it on your own.

Zing... thwack....zing...thwack. The repetitive sounds of your knife zipping through the air and landing in a tree were the only noises and you were beginning to grow bored. This activity no longer challenged you. With a sigh you turned, ready to go home.
You heard a twig snap and whipped around, shuriken already flying through the air.
"ACK!" A blonde kid with whiskers dodged the knife, a pissed off expression on his face. He had a bowl of instant ramen that now had a large hole and a weapon inside.

"MY RAMEN! You're going to pay for this, believe it!" Having moved from Suna a few months ago, you only vaguely recognized him.
"I'm so sorry! You scared me, and I didn't think..." His face softened, but his lips were still pursed.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and we're going out for ramen, believe it! You owe me it." He nodded triumphantly, causing you to smile.
"I'm (L/N) (F/N). Well, I guess we'd better get moving then, huh?" His smile brightened up the night and you couldn't help but smile back, his joy was contagious.

You two chatted all the way to Ichiraku Ramen and long into the night. It seemed you had made your first friend in Konoha, even if he was a little wild.

Sasuke~

"I miss you, Dei..." My older brother, Deidara of the Akatsuki, smiled ruefully hugging me. "I miss you, too. You know I'd leave in a heartbeat to be with you if I could." You sighed, willing yourself to be strong as you played with his long hair.
Deidara rummaged around in his bag, causing you to grow curious. "I made you this, a clay cat." He handed it to you, grinning at my expression.

The cat was gorgeous and meticulously detailed, you weren't surprised in the least though; it was Deidara after all.
"Dei, it's gorgeous!" He grew serious. "You have to keep it with you, (Y/N/N), if you ever need me- for anything- just throw it into the sky and I'll be here."
You threw your arms around his neck. "I will, I promise. Thank you."
Just as he was about to respond, you saw a familiar tuft of red hair.
Sasori, your brother's partner, nodded to you in acknowledgment. "Hello, (Y/N)." Then he turned to Deidara. "C'mon, brat, we still have a mission to complete." You waved to the puppet master, sullenly. It felt like you and your brother had just began talking. Deidara pressed his forehead to yours.
"I'll be back for you." You blinked away tears as you heard the familiar parting. "I'll be here when you do." Then he was gone.

"Why're you talking to an Akatsuki member?" You whipped around to see Sasuke, a boy you recognized from the academy. His voice cold and accusing. "W-what?" His eyes narrowed. "Are you in a relationship with Deidara? He's an S-ranked criminal." Fury ran through you. Didn't he think you knew that?! It was something you had to live with every day!

"Deidara is my older brother! He's all I have!" The Uchiha crossed his arms skeptically. "Then why did he leave you for the Akatsuki?" He sat down across from you, making you feel on the spot.

"You think he had a choice? They ambushed us and demanded he join. He joined on the condition that they'd never approach me."
Sasuke's expression softened by a margin. "Who?" You let out a humorless chuckle. "Your brother, Itachi. He brought us back to their base and that was that." His eyes darkened at the mention of his elder brother.

"Crazy, huh? Both our older brothers in the Akatsuki." He ignored your contemplative words.
"Would you join them?" You startled. "Would I joi- No! Even if I wanted to, which I don't, Dei would never let me."
He nodded, seemingly satisfied.
"Are you a pyrotechnic to?" You sighed, nodding. "Yes, but Deidara and I look the same already so I suppress it until I'm alone." Sasuke stood up, reaching a hand towards us. "I want to spar with you so I can see it." You blinked, surprised.
"Um, okay. Sure." You accepted the hand he lent you, standing with his help.
Couldn't hurt right? You had finally found someone you could relate to.
