Another old story of mine. Random Naruto oneshot. No yaoi this time, sorry. ;) As always, comments would be loved. Hope you enjoy.

"Owi! Senpai, that hurts!" Tobi wailed.

"Oh shut up, un," Deidara snapped back. "This is all your fault, anyway. Be grateful I'm even helping you, un!" He grabbed another splinter with his tweezers and pulled it from the skin on his partner's arm. Tobi yelped but his senpai ignored him. Deidara raised Tobi's arm close to his face to examine it with his robotic eye. "There it is," he murmured to himself.

"What? What is it?" Tobi asked in a quivering voice.

"The last sliver of wood, un," he said in the same tone. "But it's small; I might not be able to get it." He smiled tauntingly.

"N-No!" Tobi yelled. "Please get it, Senpai! I promise I'll never play another prank on you again!" Deidara smirked.

"Well I don't know, un…" he continued smugly.

"P-Please, Senpai!"

Deidara shrugged his shoulders, finally making his decision. "Fine, I'll get it, un." Tobi let out a yay and grabbed his partner in one of his sentimental hugs. The artist glared at the wall when Tobi didn't let go. Maybe it wasn't worth it. Maybe he should just let that idiot Tobi suffer. Before he could make up his mind Tobi released him and thrust his arm forward

"Please!" Tobi exclaimed happily. Deidara sighed in defeat and took Tobi's arm in one hand, adjusting the scope in his left eye with the other. Beads of sweat collected on his forehead as he went in with the tweezers. He swooped down carefully to grab the splinter but it seemed to be dodging his attacks. Deidara squinted so that he was only looking through his left eye and tried again.

He leaned in. He was only millimeters from finally grabbing it. Almost there…

"OWWIIIII!" Deidara dropped the tweezers in surprise and gaped.

"Tobi, you IDIOT!" he hollered, standing up in outrage. "I was almost there, un! I almost had it!"

Tobi cradled his arm, looking like he was going to cry at any moment. "B-But it HURT, Senpai!"

"I don't give a damn if-- I didn't even touch you!" he realized in a furious rage. Tobi's bottom lip quivered. He was about to say something but Deidara cut him off with a raise of his hand. "I give up, un! Go have Itachi help you!"

Tobi's eyes widened in horror. Itachi was the one who pushed him out of the window and into that bush in the first place! Deidara was halfway to the door when he lunged at him, screaming, "NOOOO!" He tackled his senpai to the ground and started wailing. "No, don't go, Senpai!" he cried. "You have to help me! Please!"

"Ow--! Damnit Tobi, get off!" Deidara hollered. The mouths in his hands hissed. "I'll help you, un!" he promised, "Now get your fat ass off of me!"

About an hour later…

"Is the wax dry yet, Senpai?" Tobi asked.

Deidara stared at him. "Yeah, it's dry, un," he said nonchalantly. He moved to remove the glossy surface but Tobi jerked his arm away.

"This isn't going to hurt, is it?" he asked worriedly, his bottom lip hanging out.

It's gonna hurt like hell, un, Deidara though to himself. But instead he said, "Ah… no. It won't hurt at all." He gave a false smile and Tobi seemed to accept his lie.

"Okay Senpai, if you say so." Tobi hesitantly held out his arm and Deidara grabbed onto the corner of the wax. He gulped in a large breath of air and yanked off the wax with a sickening rip. A blood-curdling scream filled the air and Deidara covered his ears. Tobi ran around holding his arm as he screamed, the flesh raw from the inexperienced wax job.

Deidara bent down and lifted up part of the wax. Sure enough the splinter was there, along with some of Tobi's arm hair. As Tobi continued to run and scream in the background the blonde though, At least I got it, un.
