Prologue:
"Okay guys, I have to show you something."
I close my eyes for a few moments and then open my hands, setting Deidara out onto the small round picnic table. Everyone's eyes widen. Darnell leans forward a bit, almond eyes peering closer, and Alice simply stares at me.
Sarah smiles crookedly. "He's cute!"
She goes to poke him. Deidara lashes out at her, kunai knife catching the tip of her finger, and Sarah jerks back with a yelp. I grab Deidara lightly, shielding him when Sarah goes to kill him. "That little mother fucker! I'll fuck you up, asshole!"
"I'm so sorry, Sarah. I should've warned you. He's a bit touchy." I frown and squeeze my hands slightly, shooting the tiny blonde a swift glare. He grimaces and tries to shift around inside my grasp-to loosen my hold.
"That's an understatement." Darnell laughs lightly and holds his hand out. "Can I hold him?"
I chuckle and nod, holding my hands out to him. Deidara squirms in my grip even more so now, obviously not liking the idea of being passed around like a rare Pokémon card. Darnell takes Deidara from my hands and allows him to stand upright in the palm of his hand.
"Just don't let him escape."
