Chapter 11

"This awakening"

(Deidara POV)

It's been almost three days since we got back to our house in the woods. It seems like the akatsuki most likely won't follow us anymore, seeing as how Sasori somehow killed Pain. Sasori still hasn't woken up. He's exhibiting coma-like symptoms, so I've been taking care of him until he wakes up. I'm starting to get slightly worried, though. I'm siting next to him on the bed, watching over him. I move some stray hair out of his face.

(Sasori POV)

I wake up to a hand gently moving my hair out if my face. I feel like I've been hit by a truck. My side hurts, and my head feels like a bowling ball. I slowly, painfully open my eyes. Deidara is sitting on the bed next to me. "Deidara?" I croak out. His head turns swiftly to look at me. "Sasori?" He whispers. I groan as I try to move. "Don't move!" He says, putting a hand on my chest. "What happened?" I ask. I remember jumping in front of him as Pain threw a rod at him, and collapsing in his arms. I remember him trying to stop the bleeding. I remember him crying after me telling him that I would not make it. I remember him kissing me. I remember him kissing me for what I thought wild be the last time. I remember after I told him I loved him, he had said he loved me too... After that all I can remember is darkness....

"Sasori..." He says, looking at me. "You stopped breathing... And you didn't have a pulse..." "What?" I ask, dumbfounded. "But I'm alive..." I say, confused. "I don't know how it happened, but you've been in a coma for almost three days now..." My mind is reeling. "But I'm so glad you're not gone..." He says, gently leaning his forehead against my chest. "Me too..." I say, lightly stroking his hair. "I don't know what I would've done if I'd lost you..." He says, wrapping his arms around me. "Do you think I'd leave your side, baby?" I ask, softly pushing his face up so he's looking at me. "You know me better than that." "No." He replies. "I think fate knew that we could never loose each other." I say, looking at him intently. He starts to tear up. "Shhh..." I say, gently wiping his face. "I was so scared, Sasori..." He says, touching my hand. "I know, me to..." I say, pulling him close. He rests his check against my collarbone, and I sigh. "I missed you..." He whispers in my ear, sending a shiver up my spine. "Mmmm, me too..." I breathe, holding him tightly.

"I can't believe you were willing to risk your life for me..." He says, snuggling into me. I rub his back lightly. "You were wiling to risk yours for me, if I remember correctly..." I reply.

(Start flashback)

"Y- you saved my life, and now y- you're risking your life for me... Why?" I ask. "Because I love you..." He says, tears welling up in his eyes. I suddenly wraps my arms around him in a warm hug. He's surprised at first but then He gratefully hugs me back.

(End flashback)

He lifts his head to look up at me. "And when I did that, I told you it was because I love you." He replies. I nod. "And what you were feeling when you did that; is exactly why I was willing to die for you, Deidara." He moves his head to softly kiss my neck. In that act, I know he understands. I put my hands on each side of his face, and move him so he's looking at me again. I stare into his eyes for a little, then I slowly pull him closer and kiss him sweetly. He puts his hands on either side of me, and kisses me back intently. My eyes flutter closed, and I pull him closer. He angles his head slightly, kissing me harder. I run my fingers through his hair, and we finally pull apart. "God, I've missed that..." Says Deidara, resting his forehead against mine. My hand fists in his hair. "You have no idea..." I say.

Later that night we are sitting out on the porch. All we hear are the crickets chirping. My side sill hurts like hell, but it seems like the injury is in a non-vital spot, and I had supposedly went into a coma-like state from blood loss. I had, in fact, stopped breathing, and didn't have a pulse, but I suppose miracles can happen. "Deidara?" I say, breaking the peaceful silence. He looks at me. "Can we talk about something?" I ask. "Sure." He says, turning all the way around to face me. He's so perfect... "Remember what you said about me being afraid to get close to people?" I ask.

(Start flashback)

"Well maybe I wouldn't be if you weren't so scared to get close to people!" I sneer at him. "Whatever, Deidara..." I say, and walk away.

(End flashback)

"Listen, I was mad, and I didn't-" "No," I interrupt, "that's the thing; you were right." "What do you mean?" "I mean that you're the first person that be ever really opens up to..." I say. "Sasori-". He starts, but I interject again, "I don't understand, I've been in love with you for years! And when you told me that you loved me that night on the bird, I was too scared scared to really accept it. I feel like I'm to undeserving of that kind of love.." I explain. "Sasori..." He whispers, "I-I don't know what to say..." His eyes are full of bewilderment. Those eyes... A gorgeous shade of blue... I stare into those eyes. Those eyes that I fell in love with. "Then don't..." I say, as we both lean a bit closer. Our foreheads touch, then our lips meet softly. And that is all I need.
