The dream came to him again.
It surfaces.
He will be talking to Tobi, walking away from him, the sun is setting but the pest doesn't want to leave. His pockets are heavy with what he knows not, Tobi is throwing something at him but he ignores it, not even turning his head.
The sand under him is like his clay, when it mixes with the water it is like clay, but not the same because the water is salty, it isn't good water. He must tell Tobi not to drink it, or he will be stuck taking care of him. Tobi picks up a rock, hold it, senpai, it's pretty and smooth and no, Tobi, I'm already holding Sasori's things.
But of course he won't listen, he holds it out, take it, senpai, and don't lose it, and my pockets are full, in his pockets is a brush, a paintbrush, but it isn't his. It's Sasori's, he has to give it to Sasori, and he runs across the beach, Tobi is calling his name and he doesn't shout back because he knows the pest won't listen, he never understands.
The sand is being kicked up behind him, and he runs to the house, the house Sasori is standing in front of, waiting for him and Tobi to come back. Sasori will say he is looking for a kanji, the kanji on his heart container, it's gone and he can't find it, and I'll paint it back on for you, I have a brush right here, Danna.
But no, I have to find my old kanji, Tobi has it, he's stolen it from me. The brush is gone as well, Tobi has it, he's stolen everything of mine, I have to take it back, and I'll get it for you, Danna, but Sasori will be running off, past Tobi, past the dried up water, it's not a beach it's a desert, he will be calling for Sasori to come back, and he knows Tobi can hear him but he doesn't care.
Sasori, Sasori, he will yell, and the redhead will be running, running, he has to get his things back from Tobi, but Tobi is here and he is there, and no matter how hard he yells, Sasori will slow, but never turn.
And he will flick open his eyes, Tobi's at the door, Senpai are you alright, and he will say, no, Tobi, but go away because he wants to be alone right now.
