I Want To Love You

Chapter Twelve

Chapter Twelve

The days leading up to Christmas flew by in a blur, and it was an understatement to say everyone was excited to spend it together. Sasuke woke up in a surprisingly good mood, he stretched in his bed and sat up, yawning. It was only 8 and he didn’t have to be at Sasori’s til tonight. A few days ago he was almost dreading Christmas, not because he didn’t want to go to Sasori’s but because of the encounter with his brother. I wonder what he meant by having a present for me Sasuke thought. It didn’t matter, he wouldn’t know til tomorrow anyway. He decided he would enjoy today. The last few years he was unable to enjoy the holiday and he wasn’t going to let his brother ruin this year for him. I wonder what Naruto got me for Christmas he thought, and smirked when he thought of the present he got Naruto. He couldn’t wait for him to open it and see his reaction.

Sasuke finally pulled himself out of bed and into his kitchen to make some breakfast. He felt extra festive and happy today so he decided to make a snowman pancake with a bacon scarf. He thought his snowman looked incomplete without a face and looked through his fridge for something to use for eyes. He honestly didn’t have much in his fridge, he didn’t really buy anything extra that he didn’t need. Then he remembered, he had a bag of chocolate chips that he could use for eyes. He bought the chocolate chips so that he could make some treats to bring to Sasori’s house. He took his time eating his breakfast, he hated the fact that he woke up so early, especially when he didn’t have to be there til late tonight. The worse part was he didn’t have much to do while he waited. He finished the last bite of his pancake and all that was left was the sticky maple syrup. It was as if Sasuke brutally murdered the snowman, poking at it’s fluffy body, and the maple syrup was it’s blood spilling out.

He laughed a little thinking about that, most people wouldn’t understand his dark humor. He glanced at the clock only to see that time was passing by painfully slow. He rummaged through his cabinets and fridge looking for ingredients to make cookies. Hmm.. I wonder if I still have those cookie cutters… Sasuke wondered. He spent a few minutes tearing through more cabinets and finally found them. “Perfect,” he said aloud. He had a tree, gingerbread man, present, star, and snowman cookie cutters. He spent the rest of his afternoon baking sugar cookies and decorating them nicely. Before he knew it, time had breezed by and he wrapped up the last of the cookies and took a quick shower.

“Hey you should probably go get them,” Sasori told Deidara as it was nearing six. Deidara groaned, he really didn’t want to deal with the cold. “Don’t complain. You know you’re excited to show them your new car.” Sasori added. Deidara grinned and got up, “True. At least the heat works and it actually starts up.” he said happily. Kiba’s friend, Sai, really hooked him up. He only charged him 200, and it ran in perfect condition. Deidara walked over to Sasori, wrapping his arms around him, and whispered, “I’ll be back.” and kissed his cheek. Sasori’s face flushed almost as red as his hair and he mumbled something along the lines of ‘get out of here’. He was clearly flustered. Deidara laughed, he loved his adorable red head.

He got in his new and improved car and it roared to life the first time he tried to start it. “Ahh, life is good.” he said, smiling. The car even had seat warmers. Seat. Warmers. Deidara was practically in heaven in his new car. He picked up Naruto first, and was quite amused with Naruto’s response to his car. “Damn, this is what Sai sold you?” Deidara nodded, “For only 200!” Naruto’s jaw dropped, “No way! I should try to buy something from him.” Deidara laughed, “He’s a pretty cool guy, he really hooked me up. Now get in here!” Naruto obliged happily and felt instantly warm when he sat down. “Woah, it’s super warm in here.” Deidara nodded happily, “Seat warmers bro.” They continued small talking until they got to Sasuke’s apartment and Sasuke was also very impressed by his new car. “Nice, huh?” Deidara asked. Sasuke nodded in approval, “It is really nice. A lot better than your old car.” he teased. Deidara laughed, “Andd andd, theres seat warmers!!” Sasuke pouted, “There’s not seat warmers in the back,” Naruto offered to trade Sasuke spots but he declined saying he was warm enough where he was.
