Scent of Night
As they watched the explosion from afar that marked their victory and end of the mission, Tobi looked up at the sky, it was nearing night and the sun was sinking slowly downwards, creating an explosion of colors in the sky. Orange, red, pink, yellow, purple, light blue... He looked back down at the bird he was standing on, thinking about his wonderful senpai and suddenly had a question in mind.
"Hey Senpai? Can I ask you a question?"
Tobi flinched slightly at his squeaky voice, even himself is very annoyed with his childish voice, he was glad his real voice isn't like that.
"It better be fucking important, hmm." Deidara groaned, frowning instantly at his partner's annoying voice. He was enjoying the silence of the masked idiot and his work of art!
"What is the scent of night for you? For me it is cold, but gentle." He said, his voice muffled by the mask he was wearing but it was still loud enough of his blonde partner to hear.
Deidara narrowed his eyes, that was sudden, and Tobi doesn't usually ask these questions. "The heck you talking about?"
Deidara never thought about this, he never really had time for it, never had time for 'smelling the night'.
The blonde watched the campfire, listening to it crackle. Around him everything was silent, even Tobi, so Deidara thought he was sleeping. The crickets chipped and the night breeze blew. He recalled what Tobi asked him earlier today.
"What's the scent of night for you?"
He narrowed his eyes, how the hell do you smell cold but gentle?!
Deidara sat there for a while, thinking long and hard. He caught himself for actually putting more effort into one of Tobi's stupid questions and tched, annoyed with himself and the masked ninja. Grunting, he leaned back and slept against a flat rock. He soon spaced out at the silence of the night and got relaxed and comfortable, his mind was at peace.
It hit him.
He felt it. The scent of the night. He realized, once you've settled down, you'll feel things you've earlier been too oblivious about.
Looking at his partner who has his back turned to him, he smiled softly and ever so lightly, murmured out the words of the scent of night to him.
"Suspenseful but calm."
Behind the mask, Tobi grinned and gave a soft nod, possibly not soft enough because he heard his partner gasp. With that, it made him chuckle, not his goofy giggle, but his normal, deep chuckle. Deidara was taken aback, but he can't help but have a slight tint of cherry red splash on his cheeks.
Hey guys! Red here,
