So, I had random inspiration for this story! Since the new season of SVU aired I was like, I really need to focus on Shattered more. And BOOM! It hit me! The perfect plot line! Better then where I was going with Aki because this revolves around Deidara and goes with the title better. So, I can't wait to get to the part. You guys are totally going to freak. And, I've also planned this whole story out so we're looking at about 20 chapter total. Woot! I told you it would be longer then Forgotten Children! Also, I'd like to thank Axel for inspiring me to finally write this. I love you, Axel!

So, until then, enjoy this romantic part.


Around noon time all four men left the beach and went to a nice small restaurant for lunch. Naruto and Deidara weren't really use to seafood but they still tried some. Once Deidara stole one of Sasori's shrimp's, the blonde ordered a huge plate of them. Naruto loved Gaara's crab cakes.

Once lunch was over, they went back to the beach. It was early afternoon and there didn't seem to be as many people as there was earlier. Gaara sat under his umbrella, reading his book. Sasori decided to stay next to him while Deidara and Naruto ran off to build a sand castle. Sasori watched the two blondes for a while but it became boring so he lay down on the sand and took a nap.

"Sasori!" The redhead cracked open an eye at the voice. Deidara was standing over him with a huge grin on his face. "Come see your sand castle!"

Sasori sat up on his elbows, looking at Gaara who was already being pulled away by the other blonde. The redhead sighed and got to his feet. "Alright."

"Yay!" Deidara grabbed his hand and pulled him away from most of the people. The blonde's built the sand castle away from all the people and from the shore. Sasori gasped when he saw it. It was pretty big and obviously took a lot of time for them to make.

Naruto was hopping around Gaara as the redhead stared in awe at it. Sasori swallowed hard and smiled at Deidara. "It's amazing."

"I know!" He squealed, dragging him closer. Naruto noticed them and pulled Gaara over to them. They stood a few feet away from the castle. "But you want to see the best part?"

"Of course."

Naruto and Deidara glanced at each other, huge grins on their faces. Sasori raised an eyebrow at this and noticed a small black remote in Deidara's hand. Gaara noticed as well and suddenly looked concerned.

"Ah, Deidara. I don't think that's a good idea." The smaller redhead said.

Sasori looked between them confused. "Of course it is!" Deidara grinned. "Watch!" And he pressed the little red button.

A loud boom echoed over the beach. The sand castle exploded, sand going every where. Honestly, it was a beautiful sight to see. But Sasori was ridged. Deidara and Naruto were bouncing up and down, laughing. Gaara was shaking his head in disapproval. And the rest of the people on the beach were now scared of them.

Gaara grabbed Naruto and smacked him over the back of the head. "Are you insane? You could have hurt someone."

"Aw, come on Gaara! Wasn't it pretty?" The blonde pouted.

Deidara hopped over to Sasori. "So? What did you think?"

Sasori snapped out of it and stared at his blonde. "I... you... You blew it up."

"Sure did. Wasn't it awesome?!" The blonde was beaming with excitement.

Sasori couldn't damper that. "Yes, it was." He grabbed the blonde's hand and started leading him away from the now pile of sand. "Now let's move away before you get in trouble."

Deidara pouted but followed behind Sasori anyway. Gaara and Naruto followed as well. "Ah, Danna!" Deidara whined. Sasori almost tripped at the nickname. "That was fun though!"

Sasori smiled softly. "Well, how about if I play with you in the sand instead?"

The blonde brightened up. "OK!" He took hold of Sasori's hand and pulled the redhead toward the ocean.

Gaara and Naruto watched them run away with smiles on their faces. Gaara sat back down in his spot while Naruto just pouted at him. "What?"

"Gaara... Play with me!"

The redhead blinked before opening his arms. "Cuddle with me." It was Naruto's turn to blink. He grinned and jumped on the redhead cuddling into his lap. Ah, yes. Life was good.


"Danna! Look!" The blonde held out a small pink and grey creature to Sasori.

Sasori blinked and looked at the small creature in Deidara's sand covered hand. He smiled and poked it. "A sand crab."

"Sand crab?" Deidara tilted his head and brought his hand closer to see it. Then he started giggling. "Ah, it's tickling my hand! It's trying to dig through my hand."

Sasori chuckled softly. "Well, they dig in the wet sand and live in there."

Deidara giggled and put the crab back on the sand. Quickly is dug into the sand and disappeared. "Wow! Oh, Danna! Can we dig for sand crabs?"

Sasori got on his knees beside the blonde. "Sure." He took the blue bucket beside Deidara and put some wet sand and ocean water in it. Then he twisted it into the sand in front of them. "When you find one, put it in there."

Deidara grinned, his eyes sparkling like an innocent child's. "OK!" He rubbed his hands together and started digging. Sasori laughed softly at him and started digging as well. The blonde squeaked when the water came up to them, wetting them both.

Deidara giggled and blinked when he noticed all the small holes in the sand and small bubbles coming from them. He pointed to one and asked Sasori, "What is that?"

Sasori looked to where Deidara was pointing. "Oh, it's a sand crab."

"OH! So if I see that, there's a sand crab?"

"Yup."

"Yay!" Deidara wiggled to get more comfy on his knees and held his hands out, ready for when the water came up again. Once it did and left, Deidara found a hole and quickly dug into it. He squealed when he pulled his hand back and found a nicely sized sand crab. "Looky!" He held it out to Sasori.

"Oh, he's a big one." Sasori grinned back at him.

Deidara giggled some more and put it in the bucket. "This is fun!" He continued to dig with Sasori beside him. "You know, they sure don't look like any crab I've ever seen."

"True. But-" He was cut off by Deidara's squeal.

"Oh my god! Look!" He held out his hand to Sasori. In it was a really tiny sand crab. "It's soooo cute!" He poked it gently. "And I can still feel it trying to crawl into my hand!" He wiggled and put it in the bucket as well before starting to dig again.

Sasori chuckled at the blonde and watched him closely. Deidara was acting like he was 5 years old. But maybe it was the fact that he'd never seen anything like this before. His childhood was taken away from him, so now he had to experience those child-like things.

Sasori bit his lip, trying not to let it dawn on him that Deidara was still so much younger then him. Three more years and he would be forty while Deidara wasn't even close to thirty. Deidara was still so much a child and couldn't even function mentally without drugs. And yet... Sasori was falling more in love with him day by day.

"Danna?"

Sasori snapped out of it and looked at his blonde. Deidara was pouting lightly, looking at him with a concerned look. "Hm?"

"You spaced out..."

"Sorry." He gave him a smile.

Deidara smiled softly. "It's ok." And before Sasori knew it he was tackled backwards into the wet sand. Before he could speak the water pushed over him, causing Deidara to giggle.

"Dei." Sasori whined softly.

The blonde blushed lightly, giggling. He poked Sasori's nose before leaning down and kissing him gently. The redhead returned the kiss easily. It was a soft, simple kiss and it made Sasori feel better about his relationship with Deidara. The blonde pulled back grinning. Sasori returned his grin.

Deidara crawled off him. "Aww! No!" He whined, turning the blue bucket, which had been knocked over, back up. "They escaped!"

Sasori chuckled and got to his feet. "Let's go catch them then." He scoped the blonde up into his arms causing Deidara to squeal.

"Ah! Danna! What are you doing?"

Sasori just smiled at him as he walked into the water. Deidara watched the water as Sasori went in until it came to his waist. Deidara blinked when he stopped and looked into Sasori's eyes. He was smirking... Not good.

"Danna-" Deidara was cut off when Sasori suddenly dropped him into the water. He came up a few seconds later, glaring at the redhead. "I'll get you for that!" He glomped the redhead, both of them falling back into the water.


After their fun at the beach they all went back to their hotel rooms. It was almost dinner time to they decided to go out to dinner after they cleaned up from the beach. Gaara and Naruto would be dining separate from Sasori and Deidara though. Romantic dinner time!

Sasori looked up when the bathroom door opened and his blonde stepped out with a towel wrapped around his waist. He was running a brush through his still wet blonde hair. Sasori smiled at him softly before going back to his suitcase.

"Ne, Danna?"

"Hm?"

"I think I got sunburn..."

Sasori blinked and stood up straight. Deidara was finished brushing his hair and was now looking at him, a small blush on his cheeks. "Where?"

"My back..."

Sasori walked over to him and turned the blonde around inspecting his back. Indeed, he was a little red on his back but more so on his shoulders. He spun the blonde back around to face him and noticed a little on his chest too. "You sure did."

Deidara pouted lightly. "It hurts a bit."

Sasori patted his head. "Lay on the bed and I'll but some Aloe on it." He moved back to his suitcase digging for the blue bottle.

"Ok." Deidara moved to the bed and sat down on it.

"Ah ha!" Sasori pulled out a bottle of blue goopy stuff.

Deidara crinkled his nose at it. "That's going on me?"

"Trust me. It'll feel good. Now lay on your stomach." Deidara eyed the bottle before doing as told. Sasori crawled over top of him and poured some of the blue stuff into his hands. He rubbed them together and started to massage it into Deidara's back.

The blonde shivered slightly. "Ah, that's cold."

"It's supposed to be. It helps with the heat and also makes it hurt less." Deidara nodded his head and buried it into the pillow. Sasori watched him closely as he ran his fingers over Deidara's back. Sasori massaged it into Deidara's neck causing the blonde to moan softly.

The redhead paused for a spilt second but continued to massage the boy's back. Deidara continued to moan softly when Sasori would get to a really good spot. To keep Deidara moaning he would focus on the spots that felt the best to Deidara. Sasori swallowed hard. He was getting worked up listening to Deidara.

They hadn't done anything sexual since the first time they did it. Poor Sasori... Five years without getting laid. The redhead was easily worked up. Especially with the cause of his torment moaning underneath him. Sasori took a deep breath to control himself. It worked for the time being.

After a while of massaging Deidara's back, he lifted up and flipped the blonde over. Deidara blinked, surprised, but didn't complain. The redhead put a little more Aloe into his hands and rubbed it into Deidara's chest.

"Ah. Danna. That feels so much better." The blonde practically purred. Sasori stopped when he realized the towel that was around the blonde's waist had opened. He blinked and his stopped caused Deidara to open his eyes and look at Sasori. He realized what the redhead was staring at and blushed. "Ne... Danna?" The redhead raised his now redder then normal eyes to the blonde's blue one. "You like what you see?"

Sasori's eyes widened a bit at the blushing blonde. "D-Dei?"

The blonde smiled and sat up, coming eye level with the redhead. He grabbed the back of Sasori's neck and pulled him to him, their lips coming together. Sasori froze for a moment before returning the kiss and pushing Deidara back onto the bed.


Sasori closed the door behind him, grinning at the bouncing blonde in front of him. "Ah! Danna, come on! We're gonna be late!"

Sasori shook his head and followed after the blonde. Indeed, they were cutting it close. They had to be at the restaurant for their reservation in5 minutes. Hopefully they'd make it in time.

"Danna! Walk faster! I'm hungry!" Deidara turned to him and pouted.

Sasori chuckled and caught up to him. "You're the one who wanted to have fun in the shower too."

Deidara's eyes widened and he blushed. "Ah... um..."

"Exactly. Now come on." Sasori started walking once again.

Deidara blinked and ran after him. "Danna! Wait for me!"

They made it to dinner in time and ate. After dinner, Deidara decided that he wanted to go walk on the beach in the dark. So, they went to the beach and took a stroll. They strolled down the beach, lite by the lights from the hotels, hand in hand.

After a while, Deidara broke away and ran in front of Sasori grinning. The redhead raised an eye brow at him as the blonde began spinning around and singing.

"Cause tonight will be the night that I will fall for you. Over again. Don't make me change my mind. I won't live to see another day, I swear it's true. Cause a boy like you is impossible to find. Impossible to find." (1)

Sasori watched Deidara as he continued to spin and sing. The blonde had a pretty good voice. But Deidara got to dizzy and fell in the sand laughing. Sasori chuckled and walked over to him. Deidara grinned up at him and patted the sand beside him. Sasori obliged and sat down beside the blonde.

"The moon's really pretty tonight." Deidara said softly, looking up at the almost full moon.

Sasori nodded and reached over, running his fingers through the blonde's long hair. Deidara blinked and looked at him, smiling softly. Sasori leaned forward and kissed the blonde gently. Deidara returned the kiss but it only lasted a few seconds before Sasori pulled back.

"Dei...?"

Deidara blinked and scooted closer to him. "Hm?"

"I love you."

Deidara lowered his head a bit, focusing his eyes on the sand. "I... I know Sasori. And I'm happy you still love me after all these years." He cuddled up against Sasori's side. "But..." He bit his lip. "I can't Sasori... not yet... I'm trying... I swear I am but... I can't..."

Sasori sighed softly and placed a finger under Deidara's chin, raising his head to meet his eyes. "It's ok. I don't expect you to right now."

Deidara's eyes glistened in the moon light. "But... Sasori I care about you so much. I don't know what I would do if I lost you. You... mean everything to me."

Sasori smiled. "Then, for now, that's enough." He leaned forward and pressed his lips to the blonde's.


(1)- "Fall For You" by Seconhand Seranade (i think i spelled that right...)

-Sniffs- I feel so bad for Sasori... Poor Dei can't love him back. But, he will! O.O... I wasn't supposed to give that away... Yes. I've finally decided on an ending. And it's a very happy one if I do say so myself. And don't worry. Aki will still be a big part in this story. I had planned a lemon for this part but... I felt it wasn't really needed. Sorry, maybe you'll get one in the future. No, you will get one in the future. I promise.

Anyway, please review!

Thanks!
