::Disclaimer-I DO NOT own Naruto Shippuden, or any of the characters listed below, by all means, they belong to the wonderful author.::
01.Hallow
There are times when Deidara wonders just exactly what his danna was like before becoming hallow
02.Boasting
Sasori was never one to boast, but when it came to his partner Deidara he couldn't help but go a little overboard
03.Strength
Just because Deidara couldn't take down a thousand enemies at once didn't mean he was powerless when it came to those fleeting moments between missions
04.Woodchips
He could always remember the first time he smelled freshly cleaned wood and the bantering that came shortly after when jointed hinges became stuck
05.Memories
They say the last memories you share with a loved one are meant to be remembered forever, but how could one remember when they didn't even get a chance to say goodbye?
06.Marks
Something always stood out about the way Sasori acted after a long night 'sleeping', for the sand-nin found himself checking his robes for any signs of tears
07.Clash
Deidara could never explain why, but every time he looked at his new partner he knew deep down that they'd clash from the start, and they did
08.Scorpion
For a scorpion's sting is meant to be worse than its bite, but man could Sasori-danna bite
09.Twisted
Sometimes, lying in bed was the best thing to do in order to clear his twisted thoughts after his danna's death
10.Suicide
The word sent shivers down Deidara's spine, and yet it seemed like the only thing he could possibly think of the day after
11.Drunk
Tobi was never the one for words especially after drinking a few sakes with Kisame, and running around the bar half naked
12.Leftovers
Deidara would always remember the first time he met Zetsu and was asked if he'd like to eat with him, he politely declined upon seeing a hand left untouched upon the plate
13.High
As a child Deidara would always try to jump the highest in hopes of touching the sky, never knowing that one day he'd do just that
14.Lovers
The term 'lovers' was never used in their relationship although everyone in Akatsuki could clearly see that they were
15.Jashin
When the term Jashin was brought up everyone groaned knowing that a monk would be joining their rank while Kakuzu tried his hardest to stifle a grin
16.Hellion
To most Zetsu would be considered a hellion, but for Tobi he was 'the one'
17.Shark
Itachi loved buying sushi for his partner just to hear the shark-man shrieking after eating the entire package
18.Bedtime
There was no set time to sleep for a puppet who didn't even use the word bed in his daily vocabulary, he simply lay down whenever his partner did and used the younger man's chest as a pillow
19.Rituals
Deidara always had a set of rituals when going about his missions, the first being to catch his danna's reaction after the first kill when the puppet would smile like no one was watching
20.Beginning
Tobi was sure that when he became Deidara's partner there would be a turn-about in the rock ninja's mood, but that new beginning never came, and he began to realize that he'd have to be the one to make that happy ending seem closer
