So... Another SasoDei... Wow, I feel like such a hypocrite. I don't like yaoi, yet... =A=; Huh... Well, I suppose I'll admit I like light, fluffy stuff that can be passed off as friendship... because that's typically how I end up seeing really light shounen/shoujo-ai. (No, really, I've been fooled so many times... so many...)

Anyways, hope you all enjoy my midget-shot. XD

"If you be my star, I'll be your sky…"

That's what I told you. It was so easy to see, so simple to imagine. That's exactly what happened. We were to be together. Forever.

I couldn't help but smile when you smiled. Those tears in the corner of your eyes told stories of over a thousand words. Over a thousand, three-worded phrases…

This life would be a hard road to walk on, but I knew soon we'd make it up to the clouds once we made it through; The soft, happier side of life. But even then, can we still enjoy the hard life just the way it is now? Even if, in the end, time can't stop?

"When I turn jet black and you show off your light…"

I have to apologize. I left you by yourself. Could this have been avoided? Of course it could have. But I let my impatience once again get in the way. I didn't want to elongate the inevitable.

Don't cry, you can still be yourself, right? Just do what you love to do, and you should be happy. Be happy for me, okay?

Okay?

"I live to let you shine…"

You seemed to be doing fine… But something wasn't right. Something about you was amiss. Did my lack of presence make you lonely? Are you lonely, Deidara? Did I let you down that much? I didn't mean it. Don't hang on the past! What's done is done, brat! Don't let my death kill you!

"Just leave me your stardust to remember you by…"

You left me, Danna. Was it your fault? No.

Was it your grandma and that pink-haired girl? No…

It was mine… I left you to fend for yourself… I wanted to get that darn kyuubi…

It's my fault.

Not to worry, Sasori no Danna. I'll make it up to you. I already owe you so much-my life. This Sharingan-eyed brat, he's just an excuse. He's to cover my real reason.

I'll be with you soon, Danna. I'll be your star and show off my light.

I'll shine brightly.

Just like you wanted…

"I live to make you free…"

…

…

…You did it…

I can't believe you did it…

You really are an idiot, brat.

A sad smile came upon my face. A bitter, yet sweet emotion filled my heart when you grinned at me, those same tears at the corner of your eyes.

I guess we'll be taking the path of clouds now…

…just like we wanted.

("I live to make you free…")
