Fandom: tech!AU
Pairing: Deidara/Kankuro
Prompt: Music prompt- "Pleasantly caving in, I come undone."
Disclaimer: The disclaimer here was written when I was in a bad mood... Changed it. No, I don't own these character's names, but I kinda own what I did to their personalities and appearances. tech!Kanky's one of my muses, and tech!Dei is Mandi's.
Note: This scene wouldn't get itself out of my mind ever since I heard this damn song... Mandi hadn't done a drabble yet for this pairing, so I took it upon myself to do it for her. Fear the results. Mandi, I'm sorry if I got Dei out of character...

14 minute drabble for the win. Whoo. No, I don't know what's up with this either.


Blond hair curtained him from the world, and surprisingly gentle blue eyes peered down at him.

"You've made this out into something much more horrible than it should've been."

He had no idea how he got himself into this situation. He glared half-heartedly up at the blond, but he was angry at himself more than anything.

"What? Why don't you say anything?"

"I owe no explanation to you...," he finally mumbled.

Avoiding him hadn't worked. He'd been so stubborn, and he had to commend him for it. He just hadn't anticipated how stubborn the blond would be. He was stubborn enough to persuade him out of his shell and onto the floor like this.

A dance floor was no place to be conversing.

Others were stepping over them, and more still were staring. Some wondered if they were going to put on a show, but Kankuro had enough sense to stop his 'companion' before then. He wasn't a whore.

From what he'd gathered, he'd presumed the other wasn't the type to go into bars like this, which was precisely why he was there. He'd been relying on what Deidara had told him a few weeks prior-- that he had no sense of direction if he hadn't memorised where he was. He'd also presumed that if Deidara had indeed followed him that the crowd would swallow him. This was sadly not the case.

So had they ended up like this, their bodies entwined on the dance floor? Well...

"I like you...a lot...and I hoped we could talk more..."

"Well, you've made that pretty apparent..."

"Why've you been avoiding me like this?"

The question was unanticipated, and, like an imaginary blade, cut through him. Kankuro stared at Deidara in shock.

"What...?"

"I try calling you, you don't answer... I wave to you on the street, and you turn away..."

"Oh..." He looked away. He may as well reply. "Because...I'm terrified..."

"Of what?"

"Us, life, love...everything. I have no control over myself anymore..."

He could feel himself becoming undone.
