I'm concocting this on the fly, I tried writing an Itachi one but it turned out super long and I didn't know if you guys wanted that or not, tell me if you still want me to publish it or not
but anyways here's a new one!
*~*~*~*
I sat in my chair and watched as he continued to build his puppet. He had been doing this for hours, and I was bored out of my mind. The room was completely silent except for the sounds of him working. I was laying on his bed, my head propped up on the palm of my hand. I let out a small sigh.
We had been dating for about a month now, and our relationship wasn't that affectionate. Though for the most part I didn't mind, part of me really wished he would be. It was more frustrating sometimes than other times. This was one of those times, my frustration arose when I was bored for the most part.
"Can you please stop sighing so loud?" Sasori asks, clearly a little annoyed. I debated holding back the long sigh I wanted to let out after that, but I didn't. Instead I let out, more exaggerated than necessary, just to annoy him. I was feeling petty at that moment and wanted him to experience the same frustration I was. He turned around and glared at me and I rolled my eyes.
"Why are you acting like this?" He turned around and looked at me and I shrugged. He just groaned and turned back to his puppet irritated.
"I don't know, why're you acting like this?" I shot back, not thinking about it. He turned around once again, giving me another glare.
"Acting like what?" He responded, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"Acting irritable," I mumbled.
"I'm not acting irritable," He snapped back, further proving my point. I didn't push him further and just let out a barely audible breath. I crossed my arms in front of me and laid my head down on them like a pillow. I could hear the sound of him working away, and I glanced at him. I could only see his back, but I could see he was focused. I just closed my eyes and listened to him.
Sometimes I felt he really didn't like me that much, and it sometimes seemed like he didn't want me around. Deep down I knew this was wasn't true, he had told me himself. That didn't stop me from thinking it most of the time.
I really liked him a lot even if he was very irritable and generally bored with his surroundings. He was very smart and it was really cute to see him get excited when I asked him about his puppets; he could talk about them for hours on end.
Despite all of the things I liked about him, he was unbearable when he was in one of his moods. This was one of said moods, he never said anything mean or rude directly to me, but he was just generally irritable and snapped at things very easily.
As I thought about these things, I felt myself drifting off, I had just gotten back from a mission the day before and considering Tobi had to go on it with me, sleep was out of the question. I was nearly asleep when I heard the chair at Sasori's desk push back, and heard footsteps approaching me. I pretended that I was sleeping, as I wasn't in the mood to deal with him.
I felt the area on the bed beside me dip a little, and then I felt a hand running through my hair. I tried my best not to move at the sudden contact, even though I was a little startled by the sudden gesture. Eventually, I became accustomed to it and relaxed. I kept my eyes closed and enjoyed the feeling.
After awhile Sasori spoke, "I must be the most awful person to be with, (Y/N)."
I continued to be silent, even though I wanted to jump up and tell him how wrong he was. His fingers continued to comb through my (h/c) hair as he spoke.
"Sometimes I just don't know how to act around you, and I get frustrated. I have all of these feelings for you and I don't know what to do with them sometimes and that frustrates me. I know I don't give you the amount of attention you deserve, but I'm really trying I promise. When I'm around you, it's hard for me to hold back the overwhelming urge I have to touch you and I hold back because I'm afraid I'll hurt you and you'll leave."
My heart was beating fast and butterflies erupted in my stomach. All I wanted to do was hug him tightly and tell him it's okay, but I didn't want to frighten him and it seemed like he wasn't done talking yet.
"I like you I really do, and I hope you like me just as much." His hand soothingly ran through my hair one last time before he placed it in his lap. "If only I could tell you all this when you were awake."
"You just did," I whispered and his eyes widened. I turned my head so I was looking at him and his eyes were wide.
"I'm sorry if I scared you," I began to slowly sit up, his eyes watching my every move. "I couldn't just keep pretending to sleep after you told me all that."
I hesitantly reached over and held his hand in mine, and after a moment his hand was holding on to mine as well.
"You don't have to be afraid of hurting me, because I know you would never do that," I looked down at our hands. "I like you a lot too, just so you know."
His grip on my hand tightened a little bit and I looked up to him. He began to lean in, almost hesitantly and I did the same. Our lips met slowly, and the kiss was gentle but full of feeling from the both of us. We pulled away and I was about to get up, but Sasori grabbed my arm and pulled me back down and into his lap. He wrapped his arms tightly around my waist and he buried his face into my shoulder.
"This is all new to me, so forgive me if I get frustrated." He mumbles, his breath hitting the side of my neck.
"It's alright, you're doing just fine." I replied in a breathy laugh. I leaned into him and we stayed like that for awhile.
We stayed in silence, simply enjoying each other's company.
