DeidaraxTobi: Training Days
It was a very sad day for
the Akatsuki, Sasori had died; the one and only love in Itachi's
life, Deidara's best friend and missions' partner, and Tobi's
mentor, gone. He had come back from an S-rank mission and was
seriously injured. Being his partner on the mission, as always,
Deidara felt at fault for Sasori's death, being unable to help him
in his fight, and took it very hard. The one to take it the hardest
was Itachi, made sense though, they were in love, had been since they
met. They were inseparable; the only way they'd get away from each
other would be for missions. Tobi, his student didn't take it too
hard, that was okay though, they had only been working together for a
bit; not too long, but long enough for them to know how to be in the
same room without killing each other, especially with Sasori's
temper, but I digress.
After the
funeral, they returned to the Akatsuki housing and went off on their
separate ways. Itachi packed and unpacked Sasori's room for a few
hours before turning it into a shrine dedicated to his first and only
love. Deidara had been training vigorously all day and finally came
inside when the sun went down. He never did notice though, that Tobi
had been watching him train for hours. He was fascinated with how
focused Deidara was, not to mention, he was quite an attractive guy
to look at.
His rippling muscles
showing through his sleeves, his bright blue eyes full of anger and
hatred toward himself, and his hair, his beautiful golden locks
blowing off his pale face every time the wind blew; uncovering his
left eye. Tobi wanted to be able to comfort him, tell him that it
wasn't his fault, but no one really cared for Tobi, the new guy in
the Akatsuki, and no one knew what hid behind his mask, forcing them
not to fully trust him. In any case, the two never really spoke to
each other, the occasional "Hey" once in a while in the halls,
but nothing more. For weeks this continued, Deidara would train and
Tobi would watch from a distance, little did he know, though, that
Deidara had noticed him by the third time around and wanted to know
if the young boy would ever make a move. It was obvious that he was
interested in more than his techniques in training, so he waited.
Finally Tobi got enough courage to say something...
"Hi
Deidara." Tobi said, in almost a whisper as Deidara came
in.
"Hey Tobi, you finally got the
balls aye, un?" He chuckled, teasing the boy.
"Wh-What?!"
he responded, raising an eyebrow. "You knew?"
"Of
course I knew, you were good at first with hiding it, but it's hard
not to notice this orange-faced boy following you to training all the
time."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'll
stop."
"No, I didn't mean it
like that, un, I wanted to thank you actually, you brighten my day
when I see you watching me. I'll have to admit, it was sort of
creepy at first, but you get used to it. I find it cute
now."
"You think it's
cute?"
"Hah, yeah, un. You know,
I'm sure you're not half bad under that odd little mask you wear
all the time, could I have a peak?" He asked lifting the mask
some.
"No!" He snapped, slapping
Deidara's hand away. "I mean, no sorry, I just, I don't feel
right without it."
"Oh come
onn…for me, un?" He flirted. "We can hide in the closet, or
lock ourselves up into our room…" He whispered the last part;
Itachi was walking by, still depressed, but not as pale as he had
been.
"Must have started eating
again." They said in unison, blushing at their jinx.
Tobi
thought for a moment, "Fine" he said, Deidara looked up,
forgetting for a second what they had been talking about.
"Oh
good I-"
"There's one
condition…"
"Okayy,
un"
"You have to teach me how to
fight like that!" He said, almost like a school boy screaming for
candy.
"Oh…that's all you
want? For me to see under your mask, un?"
"Well,
no, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it." He explained
seductively, and opened the door to their room. (It had originally
been Deidara's and Itachi's but they switched around a few months
after Itachi and Sasori started dating.)
"Ahh,
I like the sound of that, now let's take a look, shall we, un?"
Deidara said, more excited than expected.
"Haha,
okay okay…" He said as he revealed his face. The young boy was
actually quite handsome. He had dark hair and dark eyes, some of the
hair fell in front of his face, but neither of them minded. Tobi was
finally comfortable without his mask and had Deidara to thank for
it.
"WOW, un. You're quite a
looker aren't you? Why hide that cute face of yours?"
"Was
never really comfortable, I only take it off to shower."
"Oh,
well, if that's the case…Let's hop in!" He laughed, before
grabbing Tobi by the back of his neck and kissing him
fervently.
"Do you know how long
I've waited for that?" Tobi asked after about a minute of
memorizing every spot of Deidara's warm mouth.
"About
as long as I've wanted to do it, un."
Tobi could only blush
and smile his goofy little smile, but Deidara loved it. He had gotten
the love he'd always wanted; one like Itachi's and Sasori's, in
one glance at the young boys face.
"Now
about that shower, Deidara…" he implied, starting to walk towards
the bathroom their room was connected to, "You comin'?"
"Well,
not yet, but I am getting in the shower with you, so one can
only hope." he grinned, dropping his shirt before
entering the bathroom and shutting the door behind them.
